Not Guilty.

James Mutt, who killed Dukes, the SLAYER

The judge remanded Mutt to jail until to-
morrow when he will be examined a. to his
present mental condition Mutt vas taken

diency of additional legislation to prevent
the circulation in the mails Of this country of
lottery advertisements coming from foreign
countries.
On conclusion Of the morning business,
Senator Anthony's resolution relating to the
prohibition Of American pork By France and
Germany was called up and Mr.. Beck pro-
ceeded to address the Senate upon 1t.
Mr.. Beck quoted from report of the
American Consul General TO Portugal to
show that the exclusion of American meats
from Portugal was due to the demand of the
meat producers in that country. He also
quoted from the London Renomist an article
indicating the action is from reIzliatory rather
than sanitary considerations. Referring to
the Determinations against our commerce
by France through tariff, he said that up TO
1881, when . modification of il was effected,
nearly every article of manufacture. includ-
cotton and wooden goods, was absolutely pro-
hibited from the ports of France. The mod
i6cation of 1881 was an improvement, but it
still leaves American manufacturers substan-
TALLY prohibited, while in the case of the
trade of England and Germany with France
are treaties by which tariff Of ten per cent.
This gives England and Germany so much
advantage over the United States in their
trade relations with France as to amount to
| a practical prohibition, because our goods
cannot compete with these countries. The
| suggestion of retaliation was all these govern
ments wanted. and it would have an effect
to injure our commerce. Our manufactures
had been excluded for years. Why did we
| not want retaliation then? Because our
| manufacturers were not seeking foreign mar
kets. What Mr.. Beck wanted was an inves
tigation of the wholesale object of the dis
ordinations, whether by tariff or otherwise.
We have, by our tarifis, prohibited foreign
ers from trading with US. They exercise a
similar right in refusing to allow US to trade
with them.
The Senate agreed to alter an amendment

| clusion of American meats. As agreed to it
| reads
| Resolved, That the committee on foreign
