TRYING TO BAR OUR HOG.
Trichine Claimed to Have Been Found in
American Pork.

BERLIN, Dec. IA number of depu-
ties, representing country districts,
have entered formal complaint before
the budget committee in regard to
American pork. They claim that
trichine have recently been frequently
found in American pork, and they
ask that steps be Immediately
taken to prohibit it's importa-
ton. DR.. Won Bmtticher, minister
of the interior, said that the inporta-
ton of American pork in the future
would be prohibited unless thoroughly
inspected in the United States, and
added that if after this inspection tri-
chime were found in American pork the
government would be forced to entirely
prohibit its importation into GERMANY.
The deputies appeared to be satisfied
with this statement, and there seems
reason to believe that if the Germans
who are hurt by American competition
IN pork succeed in making out clear
case against the importers of that article
rigorous measures will once more be
taken against the United States hog.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1.-Secretary
Rusk stamps the report that Germany
threatens to renew her war on Ameri-
can pork as a lie. at is falsehood. >"
he declared this afternoon. "There is
absolutely no truth in it. I deny it un-
equlvocallv and without reservation.
Our pork is going into Germany, and
so 1T will continue. No fault

its purity, and that settles it. We've

WAUKESHA PEOPLE SUED.
Action Against Stockholders of the Area
dian Spring Company.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec 5.-John Ander-
son, of San Rafael, CAL, claims in bill
filed in the United States circuit court
that he hasn't been fairly treated by the
officers of the Arcadian Mineral Springs
Company, of Waukesha, in which COM
pany Anderson has 256 shares of stock.
The company got into financial difficult
ties two years ago, he says, and bor-
rowed large sums of money, mortgaging
the company's spring to do SO.
In order to more readily pro-
cure loans Anderson transferred
his stock to Henry Phelps,
one OF the officers of the company, with
the agreement that Phelps was to man
age the company's alcAirs for five years.
The mortgages were executed, but IN
December, 1889, it is alleged, Phelps
connived to have the mortgages fore
closed, and it is charged that at the
sheriff s sale of the company's proper
ty Phelps bought it for $4,000. II. W.,
Fred c., and Foster G. Phelps, also
stockholders, are made defendants, and
Andersen asks that his interest in the
property be recognized.

HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED.

Seventeen Alleged Chicago Anarchists
Sue for $3.50, 600 for False Arrest.
CHICAGO, H., Dec. 7.-Suits for false
imprisonment, with damages claimed in
the aggregate sum of$S50, 900, are drawn
up and will be presented in court within
a few days. These suits are the out
growth of a raid made by the police
early in November on meetings in
the building on West Lake Street,
which has long been recognized as An
archistic Headquarters. Seventeen per-
sons were arrested as Anarchistic plot
tiers, and We're subsequently fined in po-
lice court, though thei1 fines were sus-
pended on motion of the city prosecut-
or. The men claim that they are not
Anarchists, and that they were merely
holding a peaceable trade and labor
union meeting. They are preparing to
sue the city for $50, 900 damages each.

italian Crop Report.

The Italian department of agriculture
announces that Geographic reports from
all parts of Italy place the crop of rice
for 1891 at 6,740,0 hectolltres, against
6,3O3 900 in $780, This completes the re-
ports of the crops for 1891, which may be
summarized as follows: Corn, fair
wheat, good; rice, wine and oil, most
abundant, and the other minor crops
satisfactory. The imports for ten
months ended October 81 were 966,000,-
600 lire, or 1873 900, 900 less than for the
corresponding period of 1890. The ex-
ports during the same time were 1885,
100000 lire, or an increase of 36,000,-
900. The aggregate of both shows
an unfavorable balance of trade to
the extent of POS, 100000 lire. But
the unfavorable balance during the cor
responding period of 1890 was 100000
600 lire. The treasury receipts, for the
first time in many months, show an in
crease, having been III October, 1891,
$500, 600 lire more than in October, 1890.
But Notwithstanding the diminution of
the unfavorable balance Of trade, the
excellent crops and the economies in
troduced by the ministry, the premium
on gold continues to advance.

Terrible Catastrophe In a Mine In Russian
Poland.
ST. PErERsBUR$, Dec. IA terrible
catastrophe has occurred in colliery
located at Nifka, in Russian Poland. NO
details of the affair have rs yet been re-
ceived here, but it is conjectured that
the accident was the result OF
an explosion of fire damp. Further
intelligence is anxiously awaited and
hopes are expressed that the loss OF
life, which the first dispatch places at
ISO is estimated Ineadditlon to
these $50 men who are said to have lost
their lives, forty horses were killed.
PARIS, Dec IA sad scene IS being
enacted ut the mouth of the Puts de Ia
Manufacture, the mime belonging to the
st. Etienne Colliery Company where an
explosion occurred yesterday. Wives,
mothers and sweethearts stand ABOUT
the pit mouth, weeping bitterly and
mourning their dead. Here they stood
through the long, dreary night,
needless of the many entreatles MADE
to them to return to their homes. The
hope that some of the miners who had
been imprisoned by the falling walls OF
the chambers might be still alive has
been abandoned. The air in the mine
is still foul and sitting, and the men
who have been down in 1t say 1t
would be impossible for anyone to
live in it for any length of time. Since
midnight fifteen bodies have been taken
from the plt. There are yet twelve
bodies in the lower gallery. The res
cuers are making their way as rapidly as
possibly toward them, and it is expect
