Secretary Rusk Puts a Stop to the Export O


secretary Huss Puts Stop to the Export Of
Horse Meat.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Department
Of Agriculture announces that its inspec-
tors on Long Island, New York, have un-
earthed an abbatoir at Newton Creek, oppo-
site New York City. devoted entirely to
the slaughter of broken down, crippled
horses. Many of these horses were diseased,
and some had the glanders. Most of the
meat was corned and put up for export as
family beef. The Secretary of Agriculture
wired the Inspectors at the ports of Ship
ment to stop such exports Immediately and
notify the local boards of health. The
dealer, learning of this, changed his label
and undertook to ship the stuff abroad as
horse-meat, under the impression that he
could thus evade the Bureau Inspectors.
Secretary Rusk, however, did not propose
to permit the intent of the law to be thus
evaded, and he is advised to-day that his
chief Inspector ut New York had seized the
entire lot of seventy-five tierces and turned
it over to the otfal dock. The official record
in the Bureau of Animal Industry shows
that this nefarious industry has been carried
on for some tiue in a secret fashion. Secre-
tary Rusk is determined to use all the power
at his command to put a stop to this abom-
Unable traffic.

Foreign Ministers.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21-Secretary Tracy,
who is here for day or two, in answer TO
an inquiry ''if he though the Chilean diff.
Guilty would be settled satisfactorily soon"

pate war with Chile. The Yorktown is the
only United States man-of-war in Chilean
waters at present. The Boston, however.
Is on her way there and should reach VAL
paraiso this week" Secretary Tracy said
there are twenty-five new ships in course of
construction in the navy, including cruisers
and battle-ships, and they would all be
completed by 1894 if Congress continued the
appropriations necessary for the work.
a Herald's Valparaiso dispatch says:
Minister Egan to-day officially requested
the Argentine Minister, Senior Urriburn, to
note the presence of Chilean police agents
in the immediate vicinity of the Ameri-
can Legation, as also the attempted
arrest Saturday night Of Frank Esan,
the Minister'S son. Senor Urriburn, in his
diplomatic capacity, will call meeting Of
foreign Ministers for the purpose OF re-
questiDg the attention Of the Chilean
Government toward the action of the
municipal authorities in maintaining police
surveillance over the American Legation.
An additional insult was offered the
American Minister yesterday In the case Of
one OF the refugees who applied for release
upon furnishing bonds, as recently granted
Balmaceda's MiDiSter-of- f-War, LalasQueZ.
The Government replied that the refugee
must first leave the American Legation,
surrender himself to the Chilean authorities
and submit to Imprisonment.
There was large fire last night at San
tiago. Damage estimated at $4,000 pesos.
Several firemen were injured.
An earthquake shock was felt to-day at

WASHINGTON. Dec 21-Tha officials of
the State and Navy departments observed
a subdued reticence to-day about the
Chilean affair. 1t is learned however, that
no communications have been received

Thursday last, when the Secretary Of
State received long message from Minis
ter Egan. While no positive information
can be obtained as to the character of this
message, it is said to have reference to the

inst. and will reach Valparaiso in day or
two.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-James G. Fair, ex-
United States Senator from Nevada, regis
tered at the Grand Pacific yesterday. Re-
ferring to the warlike tone of the dispatches
from Valparaiso, the Senator said he be-
lieved the English were largely responsible.
He thought they did not wish to go so far
as to actually embroil Chile with the
United States, but, by constantly keeping
the subject in hand. to embitter the Chill
enos to such degree that they would not
trade with the Americans, land so the
English will sell more goods" said he.

DoWRY FOR THE DUCHESS.
Speculation Concerning the Sum to Be Voted
by Parliament

by Parliament
LONDON, Dec 2f.-A report has been per-
sistentiy circulated that the Government in
tends to ask the House of Commons to vote
e15,000 year to the Duke of Clarence and
10000 year to the future Duchess, who is
also TO receive a lump sum as a dowry.
There is no truth whatever in these state
mentS.
The proposal is made that the Govern
ment will be limited to a moderate allow
ance for the future Duchess and an ade-
quate provision in the case of her husband
dying before the civil list has been re-
settled. 1t Is impossible to believe that
any serious opposition will be offered
TO so reasonable an arrangement. although no
doubt few radical malignants will en-
deavor to make political capital out of the
matter. 1t is lnconcevabla, however that
any responsible legislator or any one who
has been In office or hopes to be again in
office will ungraciously oppose the vote. nor
is there likely to be great disapproval
of the scheme in the country. Ii is an
open secret that the Duke of Connaught was
destined TO succeed the Duke of CAMBRIDGE
