AMERICAN MEAT IN EUROPE.
Secretary Rusk Tearing Down tho Bar
riers Against Our Shippers.

CHICAGO, March Internationally large
purchases of cattle in Canada during the
past week by American capitalists, brought
to light here today the first complete pub
lie knowledge of the results of mastery
international campaign that has been
quickly but effectively waged by Secretary
of Agriculture Rusk with the object of af-
fording relief to American cattle growers
by opening up markets abroad. Accord
ing to the statement of one of the largest
dealers in Chicago, success has already
been attained, while q much greater wild
ening of the foreign outlet is close at hand.
The Canadian purchases, it appears, were
simply in the nature Of preliminary tactics
to secure unrestricted entry Of American
cattle into Great Britain. The Canadian
cattle, though inferior to the American
product, are legally unfettered by British
enactments, and the Americans who have
just bought some immense Canadian herds
propose to utilize the Canadian animals to
familiarize the people of rural England,
Scotland and Wales with beef from this
side of the Atlantic. This Canadian vent
ture is certain to result in loss to the
Americans interested, but they are conf
dent of recouping themselves when, under
the plans laid down by Secretary ,Rusk,
American beeyes are freely introduced and
slaughtered at will throughout Great
Britain. At present American live stock
can only be landed or killed at three ports,
and that, too, under harrassing restric-
tions. That Rusk's plan will accomplish
its purpose in Great Britain, the results al
ready reached through him in France, Ger
many and the Netherlands leave no doubt,
to say nothing of the fact that the essen
tial features of the plan have now just
been formally embodied in the United
States statutes, the federal meat inspec-
ton law. Months ago, it is learned
Secretary Rusk put to work on an expert
mental scale exactly the inspection pro-
vided in the bill. His agents inspected
certain shipments and certified the ami
mails. Against the certificate the authori-
ties at Paris, Antwerp and Hamburg have
been unable to maintain the time-honored
pretense that the cattle, being American,
were as matter of course diseased.
Beginning December 20. six different
shipments have been landed up to cate at
Hamburg, aggregating 1907 head. The
shipments to Paris, thirteen in number,
commenced arriving August I, and now
have reached 6s1 head. At Antwerp the
shipments began still further back, May 5.
That port has received ten consignments,
altogether 1922 head. Great Britain is
now the stronghold toward the capture of
which is being bent all the surplus energy
of the American cattle growers, led by
Secretary Rusk

New YORK, March 2l.-.rhe state Senate
committee resumed its investigation this
morning into the affairs of the sugar
trrst. The examination Of William d.
Havemeycr was continued, but little fur
Their information was ELECTED from him.
II. o. Hayemeyer, president Of the Amer
Jean Sugar Refining Company, testified
that the company was established in No
vember, 1887. A condition agreed upon
was that the partnerships should become
corporations, and that the members of the
trust should become simply stockholders.
The corporations did not become partners
in the trust. Some one represented each
corporation and signed trust deed Of
eighteen constituent corporations, none
actually members Of the trust. The trust
Was organized under the deed, and he be-
came party to it, and, as he understood,
as stakeholder. The North River Sugar
Refining Company, Hayemeyer said, had
q capital of Sc, 900 600 before going over to
the American company. 1t was repre-
scented by real estate and stock. When
the trust was formed it had no debts or as
sets. The constituent corporations bor-
rowed capital, but that had nothing to do
with the trust There were two branches
of the business, mercantile and sugar re-
filming. and witness was principally con-
nected with the MERCANTILE. The latter
was sort of advisory committee. The
trust ran itself. There were nine trustees.
Before the state committee investigating
the sugar trust today, II. O. Havemeyer
was subjected to long and tiresome ques-
tioning about the relations of the Ameri-
can Refining Company and the trust, but
little satisfaction being obtained by the
committee. On all important questions
Mr.. Havemeyer either declined to answer
or did not know.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Grest activ-
ify Is manifested ct present among the
Alaska salmon cannery men. Twenty
vessels. steamers. briggs and schooners,
aso fitting out at the wharves in this city
Tor the seasons catch, and nearly every
day for the next two weeks will see one or
m0re departures for the respective can
neries in Alaska Of the different craft.
The following vessels comprise the feet:
Charles B. Kcnney, 81. n. Kimball, Vista,
Coryphene, J. d. Peters, James A. Bor-
land, Nicholas Thayer, Katie Flickinger,
eadie F. Collier, Jennie Steller, Eismore,
w. w. Case, Electra, Bertha and Karluck.
Each vessel will take about sixty Chinese
and twenty whites to the canneries, as
well Is full cargoes Of supplies of all
kinds.
The Kodiak canneries have combined,
and the company has closed this season
i've csnneries that were running last year.
This reduces the force Of men employed
from 500 to 160 for this season at Kariuck.
Last year fishermen received $50 for the
trip up and back, and $3.50 per 1000 sal
mon. This has been changed to $50 for

lost on the trip up and down, and the
Same percentage on fish ~ the other cam
'ueries.
A prosperous season IL anticipated, but
The experience gained last year has resulted
IN many cannery men concentrating their
forces this year with the idea of more eco
nomicaily running their fisheries and can
ming establishments. About LOO persons
will be employed on work aside from
Indians. The large increase in the pay of
fishermen from $3.50 per thousand Of last
year to 10 cents for king salmon and 8
cents for small fish this season, will insure
better quality Of salmon packed, and the
