American Pork and German Sugar.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Pad,
dock, in response to an inquiry regarding
the report that the government is contem-
plating retaliating upon Germany as a result
of the refusal of the German empire to re-
move the prohibition on American meat
products, said: 'The report that President
Harrison stated to me it was the inten-
ton of the administration to retaliate upon
Germany for the cause named, is not true.
l called upon the secretary of agriculture
in my capacity as chairman of the Senate
committee on agriculture. | stated to him
that il was plain that Germanys position
was not only one Of regulation, but of abso-
lutte and wilful prohibition, and l urged
upon him that under the provisions of the
act of August 80, 1890, German beet sugar,
of which $4,000, 900 worth were imported
into this country last year, should be ex-
cluded under the provisions Of such law. I
have reasons to believe that President
Harrison is seriously considering the
issuance of such proclamation and that II
the restriction which Germany places upon
our meat products is not promptly removed,
an order prohibiting acceptance OF German
beet sugar at the ports of the United States
will soon issue.h

Working a Corner in Nav Wheat.

CHICAGO, March PA local paper says
there have been rumors on the board OF
trade for some time to the effect that
corner is being worked in May wheat, the
corners having begun to buy when the
price was about 90 or "a cents. Rumor
variously pointed to a combination OF New
York aud Chicago men, and to clique OF
Chicagoaus exclusively. Now it is asserted
it has been learned that many of the buy
ing orders have come from New York and
chiefly through commission houses here
connected by private wires with Wall
street. 1t is said the purchases of the
manipulators must be high up in the
millions. St. Louis, the northwest and
heavy local spectators have shortage
which aggregates thirty to forty million
bushels. If the clique holds half of this,
and succeeds in their supposed intention OF
working prices up to sl25. the profits would
aggregate over five millions

THE JURY BRIBERS
Sensational Developments Ex-
pected in New Orleans.
GOVERNOR NICHOLAS TO BLAINE
The Grand Jury is Investigating-Th State
Department Will not Move in the
Matter at Present.

New ORLEANS, March 24-The grand
jury held another long session to-day, and
from the Witnesses examined it is evident
that body is getting into the bribery
business, and sensational developments are
expected a sensation doubtless will be
the Indictment of prominent party not
heretofore mentioned in connection with
the unsavory part of the case. Many of
the witnesses the last few days have been
surprised to find themselves called and
protested they knew nothing until they
got into the jury room. O'Malley has not
yet been brought back, although capias
has been issued, and it is not likely he will
be really sought for until the grand jury
is through with the investigation.
Mayor Shakespeare's wife is said to have
been stopped on the street by several Ital-
ians and threatened with the destruction
of his home and family.

copy:
''SIR-At late hour on the 18th instant

reference to the forcible breaking Oh the
18th OF this month Of the jail in this city

represented to the President by the minis
ter of Italy accredited to tue government
of the United States, that among the killed
on that occasion were three or four sub
iects of the King of Italy. The telegram
disclosed an apprehension on the part of
the minister, and evidently shared in by
the President, that the disturbance was a
continuous and swelling disturbance which
might involve Italian subjects in New
Orleans. | have reason to believe the
hope expressed by the President that [
would cooperate with him in maintaining
the obligations of the United States to-
wards Italian subjects who might be with
in the perils of the excitement and that
further violence and bloodshed might be
prevented, was based upon that be
lief. The President further ex-
pressed the hope that all offenders
might be promptly brought to Justice

The English and Venezuelans
Have a Fight.
Over Question of Boundary Line-A Dispute
of Long Standine-Impudence of British
Offcer-The Lion Wants the Lions Share.

lSpecialto THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.
New YORK, March pa Herald special
cable from Puerto Cabsllo, Venezuela,
says; The first fight has taken place De
tween the Venezuelans and English on the
frontier of British Guiana. The dispute
about the boundary line between Vene-
zuela and British Guiana is of long stand
ing, and the territory which England
seems determined to take from the Vene-
state of New York. The British rights
descended from the Dutch from whom
Great Britain obtained her portion of
Guiana by the treaty of London in 1914
At that time the boundary line between
Guiana and her western neighbor-then
Colombia, now Venezuela-was the Es-
sequibo river. In lo41, however, a British
commissioner made Surveys and planted
forts west of the river to the great indig-
nation Of the republic. In 1874 the matter
was brought up anew On the first treaty
between the two countries. At that time
Lord Aberdeen's government suggested
the Morocco, stream little further west
as more desirable line. The subject
caused much diplomatic correspondence,
both nations treating the territory as, for
the time being. neutral ground, Vene-
zuela steadily refusing to accept any
boundary but Essequibo. The question
continued to strain the relations existing
between the two nations and last year the
situation was made graver by an English Of
fetal who steamed up several streams in the
territory coveted by his nation, posting an
nouncements of English dominion and even
arresting Venezuelan officer and taking
him to Guiana, where he declared the of
| ficer should be punished. Venezuela's pro
tests continued, the latest and most forci-
BILE being made by Guzman Blanco. Eng
| lands position seems indefensible, except
on the old ground that the strong among
nations has the pght 10 rob tue weak.
