LONDON, May 29.-Much discomfort
exists in Fr nee in regard to the virtua
embargo on American pork, which ha
raised the price OF meat considerably
throughout the country. The American
product is Disseminated against by vex-
stIous and unnecessary inspection on the
pretenss that disease may be
lurking in the meat. The working
GLASSES in the city are indignant
at the discrimination which they regard
as intended for the benefit of the peasant
farmers of France at the expense OF the
consumer in industrial centers. NJ
Delahar who was the French representa-
tive in the Berlin conference for the ben
eft of the working men expresses himself
very plainly against the policy OF exclud-
ing foreign meat, and he declares that
it is one of the grievances
that is likely to strengthen
the Socialists by promoting agitation
However, in this respect, France is not
alone, and Germany is preparing 10 in
crease instead of lessening the severity of
yfhe laws which are supposed to protect
1 the public health, but which really pro-
tect the farmer aud cattleraiser.
A POOR SHOWING.
America makes q very poor showing
in the EdIuburg international exhibition,
a fact which is commented on in Scotland
as showing lack of appreciation for that
energetic little country.
The military exhibition at Chelsea is
attracting large numbers of foreign Wis
itors. The absence of battle scenes
from the picture gallery excl es COM
ment. but the English have never been
great on battle scenery, few OF England g
great battles being reproduced on canvas
by we'll known artists.
All day yesterday and to-day the
grounds of Hawarden Castle were
thronged with visitors. Most of these pill
grims came from places within radius
of fifteen or twenty miles of the resi-
dence of the Liberal leader, but large
number travelled a greater distance for
the purpose of inspecting the place and
in hopes of getting a glimpse of the man
who, though bitterly opposed in politics
by q large body of his countrymen, is
still England's pride as he is Ireland 8
hope.
BICYCLE FOR POSTAL MESSENGERS.
It is stated that as result of lopg de-
liberation and careful experiment, Post
MASTER General Raiken has decided to in
troduce bicycles as means of
locomotion for postal messengers in the
delivery of kilograms, it being demon
strated that fully half the time now &C.
oupied In that work can be saved bv the
use of the wheel. In anticipation of the
innov ton many of the messengers have
become expert wheelmen and it is not
improbable that the man who is destined
TO defeat the now invincible Howell who
won the bicycle championship of the
world at Leicester yesterday, will re-
eve hsi training in this service.
FINED FOR CARRYING A PISTOL.
Mrs. Nugent, the cabin passenger on
the steamer City of New York, who was
arrested in Queenstown yesterday for
having q revolver in her possession upon
landing, was arraigned before the magis-
trate at that place to-day. She reiter-
ated her statement of yesterday that the
weapon was the property of a fellow
passenger named Devine, who had re-
quested her TO carry 1t ashore
for him, and Devine, who was
in court, admitted the ownership.
Her possession of the pistol, however,
was a clear violation of the law, and the
magistrate fined her G4, which sum De-
vine paid.

upon Surgeon Parke, Stanley's hysi-
clan, the order OF the Star of Zanzibar.
AN UNPOPULAR TAX.
A few avs ago prominent lace man
ufacturer of Nottingham named Cope
refused to submit to the imposi-
ton OF an income tax assessed against
him, whereupon the authorities seized
quantity of lace IN his ESTABLISHING t
and sold it. The action of Cope was for
the purpose of raising a test case and the
the local merchants have combined in
publicly thanking him for his course.
and promising TO back him in any
measure be may see fit to take to the
end of demonstrating the popular exc
Grafton of the law in imposing the tax.

the purpose of sketching the fortress at
that place.
