Tie report Of the abolition Of the re-
stricting against American pork is en-
tirey premature. The truth Of the mat
fer is that the Government will not with
draw the restrictions until the new meas
ures under the law Of March Sd are put
into efficient operation. Probably swine
will be admitted first following the prec-
cdent Of live cattle. Concerning pork, it
is certainly singular that the most cx-
trcme methods of proof are demanded in re-
gard to the condition of the American
product, while nothing is done to test the
state of home raised hogs. The Sceswig
pig, which is largely slaughtered in Ham
burg. deserves 4 close microscopic exami-
nation, but does not get it. The importa-
ton Of American cattle grows apace, the
American dealers seeming now TO be wax
ing up to the fact that the restrictions
raised against the early Imports came
from one or two firms, while the others
slumbered. 1t is certain to grow and II
it develops in the same ratio every month
it will soon assume enormous proportions.
The official Hamburg figures SHOW that
the importations were in January, ia
head; February, Isl; and March, oll
The first arrivals at Bremen this week
amounted to total Of 450 head. Hitherto

taking the son with him.
After the separation the daughter,
Madeline, was born. The mother, too
proud to ask help Of the father, never told
him Of the birth. The girl was adopted

Soldiers TO Remain.

PlrrsnrEc, Pa. April lG.-Brigadier
General Wiley is by no means confident
that all trouble in the coke region is Mt
an end. Bloodshcd and violence he is
quite sure will result if the troops are
withdrawn. Therefore he thinks the SOL
dicrs may expect Il long siege III the
mountains. General Wiley came down
from Mount Pleasant yesterday and spent
the dav in town In the interview he
said: Everything is quiet 1T present III
the coke regions but that is due wholly to
the presence Of the troops. The strikers
are cowed bv thc uniforms and arms OF
tbe soldiers and will offer no violence as
long as they remain.

ITALY'S CONDITION.
IT'S COURSE AS REGARDS THE GER
MAN-AuS 7 RAN TREATY.
Its Lessoning Exports-Its studious Prac
ttce Of Economy-Its Deficit Appa-
rentiy an Unknown Amount.

lBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.I
hoNE, May 4.-The commercial treaty
between Germany and Austria Hungary
has become a topic of comment by the
press generally. In its Interior conse-
quences 1t bids fair TO become matter of
the greatest concern to the people of the
United States. II is announced that Ger
many and Austria-Hungary have invited
Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium to join
In a convention at Vienna for the avowed
purpose of forming coalition of the GEN.
tral European States against protectionist
countries. But why States whose customs
tariffs are constructed so uniformly for the
purpose Of protecting their interests as are
those Of Germany, Austro-Hungary, and
Italy can give out as the reason for the
proposed coalition the protectlonism OF
9ther countries is a puzzle to those who
nave carefully studied the situation.
ITALY's COURSE UNKNOWN.
IL is not yet known that Italy has con-
sented to Join the convention at Vienna
for the purpose of considering the subject.
IL she should il would seem that the po-
llticsl ties Of the Triple Alliance are
stronger than her commercial necessities,
for among her best friends, commercially
considered, are France and the United
States. Since the commercial treaty with
France expired in 1857 Italy's exports TO
France have fallen of largely. but France
still remains one Of Italy's best customers.
italy's exports to Austria and Germany
have fallen from 1877 .000.000 francs in 1885
TO Isl ,000, coo francs in 1889. In the latter
year France bought of Italy 164,0000O0. In
1880 the United States bought 1870, 100000.
The effective value of the league depends
on the adhesion Of Italy. Without this it
would fall far short of the Importance 1t
would gain by her adherence.
THE NECESSITY FOR ECONOMY,
The one subject on which all parties
agree il the necessity for the strictest
economy in public expenditures. The
Ministry is iD earnest in its desire to econo-
mize, and TO that end has, no doubt, the
support Of the great mass of Italians. IL
decided from motives of economy not TO
take an official part in the Chicago Expos-
tion, TO which Americans should take no
exception. as Italy took no official part in
the French Exposition in 1859. It proposes
10 suppress the Ministry of Posts and Iele-
graphs. IL has Withdrawn the offer of
Government aid TO the proposed celebra-
ton of Columbus mt Genoa.
The deficit seems as yet to be an Unknown
amount, but the Ministry propose to advise
the public at tho earliest moment both of
its needs and of all its measures OF econo-
mics.

OBITUARY.


Died, suddenly, in Ellicott City, Md. on
MAY 3, 1891, DR.. THOMAS y. TEMPLE. for
many years q resident of this city and
man widely known in many parts of the
State.
Though he had for over two years past
been a victim of pulmonary trouble, the
disease which ended his life was heart
failure. and the blow, coming as it did, is
great shock to his many relatives and
friends. DIR. Temple was born in the
county of Hanover, the son of Mr.. John
Temple, and grandson of Mr.. Thomas X.
Price, of that county. He was a graduate
Of Washington College when General
Stonewall Jackson was professor there.
He then went TO the University of Penn
sylvania, where he graduated in medicine
with great honor, and then settled in his
native county 10 practice. There he mar
ried early in lite daughter of Carter Nj.
Braxton, and o most lovely and attractive
woman. The tocsin of war which sounded
over our southern land called DR.. Temple
at once to the field and he served the
whole Of the four years war as surgeon in
the Tenth regiment of Virginia volunteers.
While in the field performing his arduous
duties he was saddened by the loss of his
devoted wife. When peace came at last to
gladden. us he removed to Maryland and
settled in Ellicott City, where he at once
came into most lucrative and large prac-
tice. No man was ever more beloved by q
o large circle of friends. His gentle, ten
der ways in the sick-room and his natural
skill in medicine made him deseryedly
popular at once. In Maryland he married
Mrs. Keene, who still survives him. The
loss of lovely daughter two years since
and the illness of his eldest son have cast
dark clouds over his late years. Two sons
are left to mourn his loss. DR.. Temple
was the brother of the late Mrs. d. Lee
Powell and of Mrs. W. b. Colwell, of our
city. He was in the sixty-frst year of his
age, a man of splendid physique, and one
whom we should have thought would at
tain TO old age. but the dread disease en-
| tered his soul two years and more and he
knew that his end was near. Thank God,
| that end was peace. h.

The Knutsford Bill Passes the Committee
Stage In the Lords.

IBy Anglo-American cable to the Dspatch.l
LONDON, May 4.-Lord Kimberly, in the
Houseof Lords to-day. moved that III view
of the assurances which the Government
had received from the Newfoundland dele
gates that the colony would immediately
pass an act which would provide for the
due enforcement Of the treaty stipulations
existing between Francea and Great Britain,
the House ought not to 90 into committee
on the KuutsfOrd coercion bill until reason;
able time had been given to Newfoundland
to pass the necessary legislation. Lord
Kimberly also urged that the colonial lecis-
Iature would not repudiate the promises
of the DELEGATES. and that therefore the
Knutsford bill ought not to be carried any
further.
Lord Knutsford and Lord Salisbury OPP
posed Kimberly's motion and 1t was re-
lected-113 to 80.
Lord Herschell moved that the Knuts-
ford act continue In force for only one year.
Lord Salisbury opposed the motion, and
IL was reiected-61 to u. The bill then
passed the committee stage.
