AMERICAN PORK.
1t Must Not be Disseminated Against

1t Must Not be Disseminated Against
in France and Germany.
WASHINGTON, March 20-The decision
of the President to assert the rights of
our pork and meat-packers to the Ger
man and French markets is in line with
the policy which has prevailed through
out the Administration. The President
has the power, by the Meat Inspection
Act, to shut out German and French i'm
ports altogether, and the fact that he has
the power will be impressed upon Minis
ters Phelps and Reid, with instructions
to impress it upon the Foreign Ministers
of Germany and France.
Both Phelps and Reid have brought the
subject of discrimination against Ameri-
can meats to the attention of the German
and French Governments, and have re-
ceived. some encouraging assurances.
They will probably press the subject with
fresh energy when they receive Secretary
Blalne's new instructions. and they will
be able to point out that the objections to
American meat products on sanitary
grounds have been removed by the pas
sage of the recent t-Inspection Act
and the Live Stock-Inspection Act of
August so, 1880. The United States has
shown its earnestness in the matter by
sending agents to Europe under the Live
Stock-Inspection Act. and increasing by
Sl00,000 the appropriation for the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the Agricultural
Department to carry out the provisions
of both Acts.
The President thinks it is nearly time
for Germany to ..show her hand'' and
make it evident whether she has been
sincere in excluding American products
for sanitary reasons, or whether her real
reasons have been of political nature
1t was generally believed, when Germany
imposed her restrictions, that she did so
more for the protection of the German
hog than her citizens, and her action now
will put her sincerity to the test.

Sudden Death of the Tragedian at
a New York Hotel.
HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE OF HIS
DEMISE.
Interesting Point Raised in Trial in
New York-The Defendants Coun-
sci Claims that the Law Does Not
Provide Against Chinese Coming
Into This Country in Row-boats.
Special to the REooRD-UN1oN.


New YORK, March 2O.-Lawrence Bar
rett, the tragedian, died this morning at
the Windsor Hotel, of heart failure. He
was unconscious but short time before
his death.
His wife and DIR. Chambers, Of this
city, were with Mr.. Barrett when he
breathed his last. His last sickness dated
from Wednesday night, when he was
obliged to leave the theater here where
he was engaged. 1t was said at that time
that he was merely suffering from a Sc
we're cold, and the same report was made
the following day. Even yesterday the
reports from the sick chamber were very
favorable. This evening DR.. Chambers
called at the Windsor Hotel at O'Clock
to see the patient, and, shortly after, an
nounced that he would remain all night.
Death occurred at 1915. Heart failure,
the physician declared, was the cause of
death.
Mr.. Barrett was born in Paterson, N
j., on April 4, 1888. His first appearance
on the stage was in Detroit in 1853 as
Murad in "The French Spy" After a
years experience in minor parts, he
spent a short season in Pittsburg. He
then acted in St. Louis, Chicago and else
where until 1856, when he was engaged at
the Chambers-street Theater New York,
where he appeared in the 'Hunchback." !"
From there he went to Boston. On the
outbreak of the civil war, in 1861, Mr..
Barrett accepted a Captaincy in the
Twenty-eighth Massachusetts Infantry,
and served with distinction. Afterward
he returned to the stage and acted
throughout the principal cities. He
played with success in San Francisco in
1867, where he remained as manager OF
the California Theater until 1870, when he
went to New York and appeared with
Booth in opposite parts. In 1876 he
played at Booths Theater, New York, in
Julius Caesar.' Later he produced
"Yorick's Love" and Francesca di
Rimini," in both of which he was very
successful. He made several visits to
England, where he also met with success.
During the season of 1889 Mr.. Barrett
visited California with Edwin Booth and
appeared two nights in this city, at the
Metropolitan Theater.-EDs.1
DIR. Chambers says that on Wednesday
Barrett had cold, and when he returned
home from the theater was seized with a
severe chill. The next day symptoms of
pneumonia appeared, and consultation
was held by Drs. Chambers, Walker and
DR.. Oliver of Boston. Mrs. Barrett was
also summoned. At the consultation the
pneumonia and complications made il
serious, as for two years Barrett has been
a sufferer from throat disease.
Between and 10 this evening there
was a rapid change for the worse, and
when the consultation was held the sick
man was only semi-conscious. For fif-
teen to twenty minutes before he died he
was wholly unconscious.
Barrett has two daughters, now in
Europe, The funeral will probably take
place in Boston.
Edwin Booth was at the Players Club
in bed when notified of the death. He
was deeply affected.

The American Association Returns to
the Fold.
New YORK, March 20.-The following
was printed here this morning: The
American Association and National
League are reconciled. The Association
has agreed to come back under the pro-
lection of the national agreement. These
facts were discovered late yesterday. The
immediate cause of their disclosure was a
dispatch received by the director of the
New York Club, stating that Allen Thur
man had resigned the craftsmanship of
the National Board, and that Nick Young
had been elected in his place. 1t devel-
opes last evening that Thurman's retire
ment had been planned some time ago.
Byrne. Doyle and Abel, of the Brooklyn
Club, have been particularly active in
effecting reconciliation. The Associa-
ton people refused to treat with Thurman,
which is the cause OF his retirement.
What made the League folks particularly
anxious for reconciliation with the As
sociation was the discovery that League
complications were sure to result in Gin
cinnati. The League men discovered that
Johnson does not control as much stock
in tie Cincinnati Club as they thought he
did lie only controls it with the assist
ance of the Boston, Chicago and Phila-
delphia contingents.

IRELAND's CAUSE.
Davitt Refers Contemptuously to Par
neII's Talk of Resigning.


LONDON, March 20.-Michael Davitt, in
an interview with the Associated Press
correspondent to-day, contemptuously
refers 10 what he classes Parnell's bluff.
Davitt said he did not intend TO be can
didate for election in the division of Cork
City, which Parnell now represents.
Davitt added, that two reasons caused
him to make this decision. ''The first"
said he, lis that Parnell will not resign,
for he knows that if he does resign he
win be beaten. should he come forward
for election. The second reason is, that 1
am not anxious 10 enter Parliament now,
or in the future, though l am unwilling
to bind myself to remain in this frame
of mind for all time. The Parneliites ar
ranged a meeting at Cork for st. Patricll's
Day, when, according to custom, all socie-
ties marched through the streets. Par
nell, seeing a great stir, was induced to
issue his challenge to Healy. He is now
anxious TO back out"
Referring to Parnelrs delegation to the
United States, Davitt said: 1.-The gentle
men composing Mr.. ParnelFs deputation
to the United States estimate that 80 per
cent. of the Irish-Anericans are support
ing Parnell. This is great exaggeration;
the number should be nearer 3 per cent.
By far the greatest number of Irishmen
in England are against Parnell. My adj
vice to the workingmen is to abstain
from strikes for three years; to organize
and to increase their funds; then they
will be in good position to place their de-
mands before the employers"

GIBRALTAR. March 20.--A sad scene,
one of the sequences of the Utopia disas-

les of twenty-eight adults and three chill
dren were inferred together in trench,
which had been dug in ground specially
blessed for the reception of the remains
of the drowned passengers of the sunken

ing by Row Boats
UTICA On. ", March 20.-In the trial
of James A. Miller, alias James Null
doom, for smuggling Cinnamon into this
country, is now in progress before United
States District Judge Coke, of this city.
attorney De Angels, who was assigned
to defend the prisoner, raised an inter
esting point to-day. The Cinnamon came
to this country by rowboat across the
Niagara river. The statute provides that
it is a misdemeanor to aid or abet q
Chinese person to enter the United States
by land, or to aid or abet any such to land
from vessel.
De Angels argued, and the Govern
ment admitted, that a rowboat was not a
vessel within the meaning of the statute.
De Angels argued that the coming by a
rowboat could not be construed to mean
coming by land.
The effect of this construction of the
statute would enable Cinnamon to come
to this country by rowboats.
The court held for the present he would
hold the statute broad enough to cover
coming to this country by whatever
means, and promised to give the question
further consideration, and change his
ruling if wrong.
