A Diplomatic Victory.

PARIS, July 1S-The decree resembling
the prohibition of American pork, which
takes immediate effect. simply enacts that
the duty on American salt pork, hams and
bacon, which paid Sl2 francs before the
prohibition, will now be 20f per 100 kilos.
In accordance with the new tariff all the
prohibitions will be abolished. The imme-
date application of the decree is due
to the persistent pressure brought
TO bear by United States Minis
Ter Reid, especially during the last
few weeks, when NJ. Ribot. Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who waB hesitating over
finally agreed to DO SO, but wanted to post
pone until the tariff bill was passed and
promulgated. Mr.. Reid urged that If the
government postponed the resembling of the
prohibition until the end of autumn. it
ought to pass q special Jaw without delay.
Mr. Ribot consulted his colleagues, and
finding no opposition to the matter intro
duced the project in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Only one Deputy, Nj. Lecour. offered any
hostile criticism of the measure, and his
remarks consisted of brief reference to
the danger of trichiniasis. NJ. Jourde, re-
plying to the speaker. treated the question
of trichiniasis as an old legend, unworthy
of regard as applied to American pork.
Nj. Meline, the chairman of the tariff
committee, explained that the decree would
simply promulgate two months sooner the
accepted tariff on salt pork and thus per-
NIT satisfaction TO be given to the United
States in the cessation of the prohibition.
Mr.. Pallain, director of customs. added
that every measure of precaution and sur
VIGILANCE would be taken 20 prevent any
diseased meat entering the country. The
House thereupon voted the decree-S65 to 80.

Origin of Salton Lake.

Los ANGELES. Cal, July 1s-Engineer
Swsine. of the Southern Pacific, has re-
turned here. and reports that about twenty
miles south and east of Flowing Wells, his
party came tC the stream which supplies
the desert lake at SaltOn, and which flows
at this point north and south. The river
was found to be all the way
from two hundred feet to several
miles wide, and averaged about
two feet in depth. The current was
rather low, though considerable water was
flowing through the channel. The party
was not able to cross the river, and the ex-
tent of the lower, or Indian Wells basin.
was not ascertained, but it was thought TO
be larger than that at SaltOn. The lower
lake is connected by Hardy's Colorado with
the gulf, AID the water flows with
the tide. Swalne does not think it pos
slble to repair the breaks in, the
Colorado, but does not take serious view
of the flood and considers the railroad
track In no danger He thinks the stream
from the Colorado is permanent one, and
that there is good deal of country near
the Mexican line which will be rendered
valuable by the availability of water for
irrigating purposes.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-George F. Parker
committed suicide In London yesterday.
He was we'll known to the police III this
city, and his picture is in the rogue's gal
lery. In 1878 he was arrested here for lar
ceny and was sent to prison for three years.
Previously he had been arrested in
the United States for forgery. In
1887 he was at the head of q
concern called THE British American
claim agency" which had offices in the
Stewart building. The offices were sump-
tuously furnished. and many young women
were employed as clerks and type-writers.
Circulars were sent broadcast throughout
the country to persons who were informed
that legacies awaited them in this country
or in England. 1t is said fully fifty thou
sand dupes were induced to contribute
money for alleged expenses in prosecuting
their claims to the mythical legacies
Parker was finally arrested, but obtained
his release on bail, his wife becoming his
surety for $4,000. When the trial was
called none of the swindler's victims would
appear against him, and he escaped punish
ment. On April %. 1889, warrant was
issued for bis arrest on the charge of steal
ing pair of diamond earrings from a
h-avenue jeweler. He fed the country
to escape arrest, aud did not afterwards

how. just before the Chamber of Deputies

is not granted to men who are
known to the officials Of the em-

clubs in Alsace- Lorraine or who are sus-
spected of distributing revanche badges,

commercial travellers carry stock. In
every case the refusal of wise is duly
noted and 10 open to the inquiry of the

The hens do all the cultivating and are
