AMERICAN PORK IN AUSTRIA.
THE REMOVAL OF THE PROHIBITION TO BE
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED TO-DAY.

FORMALLY ANNOUNCED TOOAH.
Vienna, Dec. "a formal announcement Will be
made tomorrow of the removal Of the prohibition on
American pork.
The measure to be taken by the Austrian Govern
ment is the natural consequence Of the similar meas
ures already taken In France Germany, Italy ana
Denmark. After it had been declared in the French
Chambers, In July last, that American pork was as
sound as pork from any European country, Germany
was the first to fall in line and to repeal the pro
hibtlve DEGREES. Italy and other countries followed
suit In order to be among the first to ngratiae them
selves with the United States. France came after
them only because the closing Of the legislative session
did not allow the Senate to pass the Chambers Dill
But this bill has been passed after long debates
during which the French Senate was convinced as the
Chamber had been, Of the perfect wholesomeness OF
American sailed meats. The action Of the Austrian
Government shows that the ghost Of tchnosis Ger
ainly laid though a cable dispatch from Berlin on
December l. said that Deputies in the Reichstag
were attempting TO revive that ghost. They alleged
that trichnae had been frequently found in American
pork and they asked that steps be Immediately taken
to prohibit again its importation into GerIn'tny
