ury department seem 10 have been Z
cided upon by the President and Secretary
Foster. The most important one Is that
Of Gen. Rosecrens, the present register OF
the Treasury, who Is clio OF the Cleve-
Ian administration. Gen. Royecrans has
always cen an intense partisan, He went
out OF Congress on the advent OF tho
Cleveland Administration ana was at once
apI oinsed to his pres mt position. which
nets him ~ 900 year IA airy. He held
this pace all through that administration,
aud when November. 1888, decreed the
success OF Gen. Harrison the friends Of
Gen Rosecran> at once started a movement
to put him on the retired list Of the army.
The Ill was tina ly rassed and he went on
the retired list ut the pay OF about $1,000
year. Among those mentioned to sue
coed him are Capt. Rowell of Illinois, Gen.
+. 8. Osborne OF Pennsylvania, Gen.
Grosvcnor of Ohio and Gen. vandever Of
Califor mia, all members OF tho last House.
All OF these gentlemen have excellent rec
ords and wo Id II this position except
ably. The other change that is to be
made is that OF Chief Clerk Bracket a
personal appointment of the late secre-
tary Coz. Swords OF Iowa IL regarded as
the probable successor to the chief clerk
ship.
Senator Palmer is getting plenty CT
advertising. For the time he has
completely snuffed out tho Presidential
fight OF Col. w. X. Morrison. The local
papers are filed with the ''poor boyn sto-
ries, "reminiscences of his career and out
spoken hints of his Presidential chances.
Springer Is responsible for most OF the
"reminiscences, but the Presidential talk IL
spontaneous Col. Morrison unbsnd
enough to say that his rival IL Demo-

the American hog. He wants 1t
done with all the vigor that can be
njected into diplomatic correspc ndence.
Uncle Jerry says in effect to secretary
Blaine: ''Be polite about 1t, but let them
understand that we are tired of their
nonsence and mean business" This re-
lateS to some instructions said to be on
their way to Minister Phelps at Perrin.
1 Secretary Rusk was asked what he
thought of the alleged statement made by
| DR. Won Boetticher In the Reit hstag on
behalf of the German government to the
effect that the new sanitary measures
adopted in the United States were made
quate, and therefore that the government
did not intend to rescind the prohibition
placed upon the importation Of American
hog products. He said: II can hardy
believe that such statement has been
made, for it imports willful or pretended
ignorance Of the legislation now in force
in this country providing for meat inspec-
ton. The last meat inspection law passed
by Congress provides for the most thor
ough and complete system of inspection
possible. and 1t vii be more thorough than
that now in force In any other country in
the world. Not only will cac'e and hogs be
examined imme lately prior to slaughter,
but have the power to cause post mortcm
examinations 20 DO made, ard in the case
of swine micro copic examination on al
export hog products. and every precautior
that science can avail itself Of to detec,
