GERMANY TAKES OUR PORK
Prohibition Against American
Hogs Declared Off.
MUST Be CAREFULLY INSPECTED
And Come With a Certificate
of Healthfulness.
The Germans Will Take Other OF Our
Agricultural Products--The Govern
ment Trying TO Introduce Our Maize.

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-The DEGREES rescind-
ing the prohibition placed upon the i'm
portation of American pork into Ger
many was signed to-day.
The ReichsgesetzblaH publishes an
order TO the effect that the prohibition
of the importation of swine, pork and
sausages of American origin shall no
longer be enforced, when such live pigs
or hog products are furnished with
official certificates stating that they have
been examined in accordance with
American regulations and found free
from qualities dangerous to health. The
chancellor has sent instructions to the
proper officials that the order be given
immediate effect.
WASHINGTON, Sept. g. Secretary
Rusk to-day received official notice that
the German government has raised the
embargo on American pork. The agree
ment relative TO the admission of pork
into Germany, was signed at Cape May
Point about 10 days ago, but at the re-
quest OF the German government the
fact was withheld from the public press
until official action could be taken by
the home government. The agreement
not only provides for the admittance of
our pork into Germany, but also affords
to the United States the same schedule
with reference to our farm products as
that enjoyed by Russia. Secretary Rusk
is confident that he will soon be able to
extend our market for corn by introduce
ing il into Germany for use as an article
of food in the place of rye, the crop
of which in Germany is this year ex-
ceedingly short. To this end he has
now instructed his corn agent, Col. C.
]. Murphy, now in Europe, to proceed
at once to Berlin and lay the matter be-
fore the German government,

OUR NEW PORK MARKET.
Minister Phelps Cables Secretary Biaine-.
The Negotiations Were Difficult,

BERLIN, Sept. 4.-The United States
minister, Hon. William Walter Phelps,
is receiving many messages of congratu.
lations udon the removal of the embargo
placed upon American pork. Mr.
Phelps yesterday cabled to Mr.. Blaine,
Secretary of State, at Bar Harbor, Me-,
informing the latter Of the repeal Of the
decree, adding. May l, through you,
congratulate the Presidentupon the fact
that under his auspices long struggle
to secure this right has successfully
ended"
Mr. Phelps is credited with managing
the negotiations with great skill, but at
the last moment, after the German gov
ernment had fully decided to have the
decree signed on September LIST, it
looked as if there would be another de-
lay by the hesitation Of some Of the
pettiest states. Prussia, Bavaria, and
Saxony were ready agree to the en-
barge. but two of the small principals.
ties hesitated and threatened to delay all
of Mr., Phelps work. Finally these two
hesitating principalities were brought
into line and the decree as signed admits
American pork products into every part
of Germany.

from n German Prison.
WIEsRApEN, Sept. Mrs. ONeill, the
the wife of General 0'Neill, claiming to
have been an officer in the United States
army who. in fit of jealousy, shot at and
dangerously wounded her husband ut this
place on May 10Th last and who was i'm
prisoned for that crime has been pardoned
by Emperor William and released from
Imprisonment.
Mrs. 0'Neill. It appears, has been separ-
ated from her husband for some time. and
on the day mentioned called at his house
and found him in company with another
woman said to be his mistress. Mrs.
ONeill Immediately opened fire on the
couple, emptied three chambers Of re-
volver in their direction and then turned
the weapon upon herself, but only sue
ceetled in wounding herself in the hand.
The general, however, was found TO be in
Il precariOus condition.
Both Mrs, o'Neill and the general were
removed to the hospital. Subsequently, on
July 18th, Mrs. O'Neill was sentenced to
four months Imprisonment. II was
claimed on her behalf that she had been
married 10 the general for 20 yers, that he
habtually neglected her, that he had
squandered fortune which she brought
him, that she had daughter 10 years of
age who was dependent upon her and that
the general had installed his mistress in
his home. The latter escaped injury from
Mrs. 0'Neill's bullets. Mrs. O'Neill is
about 40 years old. Her daughter is being

FLAMES AT cHRTsTIANa.
An Incendiary Fire Threatens the Entire
Town with Destruction - A Reseuer
Badly Injured.

DHuiN IHluFtN.
Shortly after o'clock Monday morning
fire was discovered iii the barn and stables
Of William II. Inrriender, proprietor Of
the Christiana Hotel in Chrlstiana village,
and in short time The structure, with all
its contents, was burned to the ground
The flaines were first discovered by Walter
Medill, who was driving past the building
when the flames burst forth He al once
gave the alarm and the entire town was
soon aroused and ii the scene Of the CON
tlagratiun. The fire ragged fiercely. Soon
some adjoining sheds caught tire and the
hotel and adjacent houses were threatened.
\ bucket brigade was al once fortified,
and the work of saving the adjoining
houses commenced. The heat Of the
flames drove some Of the bucket brigade
from their work, but they returned again
and worked heroically. II WAS feared That
all Of thrsiiana would fall an easy prey
To- the flames fury at 9nc time and the
citizens We're alarmed, Had the wind
been in the west instead of the northeast
j. is claimed thar the total destruction Of
the town would have been inevitable. The
houses adjoining were Of frame. and it
Was with difficulty that enough water was
kept Oh them TO prevent the spreading Of
the flames, Many Of those who worked
indeiatigably to subdnc the flames We're
clad only in their night raiment.
All the live stock was taken from the
building IN safety. David Leach a stone
mason living ut Chrstiana, had horse
stabbed in the burning building and when
he entered the stable for the purpose Of re-
leasing il the animal kicked him severe
blow, breaking lis collar bone aud knock
ing HIM TO the ground, He was carried
from the building in safety. The horse
was afterwards saved.
The origin of the fire is said to he of an
ineendlary nature The loss will be about
$1,000, with an insurance OF 800.

DOWN IN PISA.
Hear what happened down in Pisa

Hear what happened down in Pisa
To a little girl called Lisa
When one day in the sunshine golden
Past the Leaning Tower olden
Thinking, blinking very slowly,
Walking, talking rather faster,
Came pretty, pleasing poet,
Came poet-poetaster
Yes, add, nor doubt disaster,
lie was but poetasterl
Long his locks, just like his verses;
slim his face as poets purses;
Lisa's garden gate is swinging,
In he steps to hear her singing.
Singing low her simple fancies,
Laughing, chatting with a flower,
Little Lisa down in Pisa
Whites away pleasant hour;
And put it in your power
Here to know her song that hour
SONG.
s.Ccme all ye posies
Lift W your noses
And smell my roses
That blow to-day;
"oome, little daisy,
Pray, don be lazy,
You must be crazy
To hide awayi"
Though he scarcely cared to show it,
Lisa's singsong pleased the poet.
"Hem No doubt" he merely said then,
you make songs from your own head,
then?n
Gravely responded Lisa mo, sir;
From my head | never take them,
When sing my little rhymings,
1t Is from my heart ] make them.
Songs It's from my soul shake them:
My small brain could never make them p
On these words the poet pondered
Often after, as he wandered
Far away from Lisa's bower,
Far from Pisa and the Tower.
Yet, question, if he ever,
Just by taking her as master,
Learned to be a perfect poet,
Ceased TO be a poetaster,
For poets something vaster
Than poor mere poetaster.
