TnE presidents message recommend
ing legislation for the exclusion of French
aud German swine from American ports
will not create great stir in the pork
market here In the year 1887 the pork
products imported into the United States
were too insignificant in amount to be
specially classified in the statistical tables,
and the total import of meat products
for the twelve months only slightly ex-
ceeded four thousand in value. During
the same period the live swine brought
here from other countries were included
in general classification of 'all Others, y
as distinguished from cattle, horses and
sheep and the value of the total did not
reach three thousand dollars. Such n
discrimination as the president proposes,
nevertheless, would be gratifying to the
patriotic feelings of many Americans,
who have not forgotten the MUST treat :
ment of American swine and pork by the
two nations specially aimed at.

| ker of New York claimed attention with u
parliamentary inquiry. 1t was, he said, the
| custom Of the house to send out special COM

| causes and effects Of great railroad strikes;
he desired TO know whether it would he in

The speaker pro TEN. was not of the opin-
ion that the inquiry presented was parlia-
mentary one, and Parker resumed his seat
with his query unanswered
The sergeant-at-arms having been sent
after absent members, at $50 p. IN. brought
Lawler of Illinois to the bar of the house.
He gave as an excuse for absence that he was
home attending to correspondence. Taylor
of Ohio moved fine of SO A member
suggested that Lawler be fined a barrel of
apples Taylor remarked that was another
of those propositions which had made the
house notorious and ridiculous i'll the eyes of
the country
Lawler attempted to ask Taylor a question,
but had proceeded no further than Being a
little short-nwhen he was Interrupted by a
shout of laughter.
Taylor said that to remedy that difficulty
he would furnish tho gentleman with $40; to
which Lawler replied amid renewed laughter
that he would accept the donation.
Finally on motion of Wheeler of Alabama,
Lawler was excused without the imposition
of any fine,
The house then resumed its air of uninter

HEWITT AND THE FLAGS.
GoTHAM'S MAYOR VEToES AN oRoI-
NANCE ON THE SUBJECT.

He Takes Determined Ground Against the
Foreign Flag business and Gives Some
statistics--Gov. AIger Knows What He
Wants, and Says So-Elections in York
and Jersey-Sianford Ia the Race.
NEW YORK, April ll.-Mayor Hewitt has
vetoed the aldermaHc ordinance by which
the authority to display flags ON the city
buildingslis vested in the mayor unless other
wise ordered by ma ority of the board The
mayor says that there is no attempt to con
ceal the fact that the Irish flag on St Pat
ricks day is meant by the ordinance, The
best way TO get at it., he says, is 10 pass an
ordinance directing that the flag be displayed
IN every 18th of March. The ordinance We
toed is, he says, clumsy subterfuge
In his communication to the council the
mayor says: 1.-THE occasion of the passage of
this resolution was confesSedly the refusal of
the mayor to display the Irish flag ON the city
hall on St Patrick's day 1t is fair in
ference, therefore, that the object of the
amendment is TO compel the Irish flag to be
displayed over the city hall in case a ajority
of the aldermen should so direct. In
case the resolution should be vetoed, as it UNI
doubtedly would be by the present mayor it
can be passed over his veto by two-thirds
vote, provided the other members of your
board of foreign birth shall concur with their
colleagues of Irish extraction in the opinion
that foreign flags should be displayed
over the city hall. In my previous com.
munication | pointed out that of the popula-
ton of this city the Irish born amounted to
l6.5t' per cent, and yet of the members of
the board of aldermen am informed that
seven out of twenty-six are of Irish birth,
which isequal to "a per cent or more than one
and one-halfof the normal ratio of representa-
ton. Tho same rule of representation pre-
walls in nearly all of the departments of the
city government except in police, where the
returns show that the force contains ~ 10
per cent. of the Irish born, which is nearly
double the normal percentage. The excess is
at the expense of the German element,
which, though entitled on the basis of popu-
ation in 1850 to 1898 per cent, actually has
only 4. II per cent. of the appointments.
"When we come to examine the nationality
of the inmates of the institutions under the
care of the commissioners of charity aud cor
rection we find that even larger ratio APP
pears. From the report of 1856 the admiS-
sions TO the several institutions We're dis

New YORK, April 1.-THE Irish American
Protective league of this city has adopted an
address to lrshmen calling upon them to or
ganize themselves under the banner of pro-
lection to American industries and declaring
that; ain the coming political campaign we
are threatened with an issue SO vital to our
interests that it not only involves our right
to live by honest labor, but it also involves
the life of this republic. There are in this
country to-day two gigantic political parties
struggling for supremacy. While we are not
in duty bound to ally ourselves with any po-
litical party, we should at all times and in all
contests hold over the heads of the political
parties the rod of independent action, that

Late in the evening a diversion was fur

house of Morse of Massachusetts, in charge of
the sergeant-at-arms His excuse that he
went away when the motion to adjourn was
being voted on, under the impression that

thought that the gentleman could manage to

Notwithstanding a remark that this was

At II Is there was no prospect of either an

| At 1870 the house was awakened from its
| lethargy in u very unexpected and exciting
manner and at one time it looked as if tue
deadlock would DO broken. A motion that
the committee rise was pending, when
Boutelle of Maine rose and in order to test
the accuracy of the rulings that motions to
excuse members were in order, moved that
Breckenridge of Arkansas, Breckenridge OF
Kentucky, Weaver of Iowa, and Oates of AL
ALBANIA, he excused from voting. These gen
tlemen declared that they were able to take
care of themselves. Boutelle insisted how
ever, in the light Of recent decisions that it
was not requisite that member give his
consent to motion to be excused from vot-
ing.
Thereupon Taulbee of Kentucky moved as
an amendment that BOutelle himself he ex-
cused from voting, which motion the speaker
pro tenn. Mcmillan of TENNESSEE declared to
be carried, notwithstanding previous de-
mands for recognition from the Republican
side. Cannon of Illinois then moved that he
himself he excused from voting. and fur
Their moved that Bayne of Pennsylvania
be excused from voting upon this mo-
ton. This was supplemented by motion by
Bayne that Reed of Maine be excused from
voting upon the motion to exclude him
(Bayne). Several other Republicans were
upon their feet DESTROYS of piling motion upon
motion, in order to show the danger resulting
from a motion to excuse a member from vot-
ing, but the speaker pro tenn. refused to recog-
niDe any motion except that of Cannon to
excuse himself, which he declared to be car
ried, against the protests of the Republicans
AT this moment a motion came from the
Democratic side that the house adjourn, and
after a chorus of yeas from the Democrats,
and shouts of nays from the Republicans the
gavel of the speaker hung in mid air. The
Republicans, fearful that the gavel would
fall and the house be declared adjourned,

ChicaEo-HIs Views.


Chicago-HIs Views.
CHICAGO, April l1.-Charles Somers, the
switchman who wounded two men Monday
evening, was arraigned before a justice Tues
| day, and held to the criminal court on a
| charge of assault with intent to kill, Bail
| was fixed at, 81, 600, which was promptly fur
nished by the 80" officials aud Somers was
released. Somers' statement before the jus
tice was similar to that given in these dis
patches He said his run from the Wabash
yards to Forty seventh street and Root
street was running of the gauntlet, an al
most continuous volley of missiles being
hurled at the engine all along the line.
Frank Collier, attorney for the company,
said that the Burlington intended to sustain
their men thoroughly. They were fully jus
titled in what they did, and the company
would see to it that they were defended. Its
all nonsense to talk about innocent bystand-
ers being hurt, when it accidentally happened
that one of the injured men was Wabash
man and the other belonged to the Rock Isl
and. The appearance of the engine is proof
of the danger the men were in, and they were
fully justified in shooting at their assailants."
He says the engine will be photographed and
will show to any one that Somers' statements
are true, as it looks as if it had been through
bombardment.
Chief Arthur arrived in town Tuesday
morning. He said the strike was still on, and
that it would stay on The 80" was not do
ing the business it claimed to do, and the
stockholders would find it out, and then there
would he something heard by the officials
that would bring them to their senses Re
garding the knights, he said false statements
had been made about him to Powderly; that
he had set forth the facts to that gentleman,
and there is now a better understanding on
both sides. He declared that the 20" could
not in this country obtain competent force
Of engineers without drawing upon the
brotherhood.
The Times says that the exact date when
the brakemen employed on the Burlington
railroad are to strike has not yet been deter
mined but that they will go out very shortly,
unless some arrangement is made between
the company and the striking engineers, fire.

TUPPER ON THE TREATY.


OTTAWA, Ont, April ll.-Sir Charles
Upper Tuesday night moved the second
reading of the bill to give effect to the fish
cry treaty. lie declared the treaty per-
manent, just, and equitable settlement hon
Orable TO both countries The concessions
made by Canada did not injure a
single Canadian interest, and We're made
solely to prevent irritation, aud promote good
feeling, No Canadian right had been sacri-
feed to imperial pressure, and Canada stand
ing alone could never have made so fair
a settlement. He appealed to the house not
to force the government to present argument
from a Canadian standpoint in favor of the
treaty, as such might he used against it in the
United States senate. The treaty would pave
the way for broader commercial intercourse
between Canada and the United States
though unrestricted reciprocity he character
lied impracticabe a railroad to the
moon, and the commercial union which the
United States desired could never be accepted
by Canada
