class trunk limo to connect the cities Of Balti-
more, Washington and Richmond, by q con-
solidation Of the Richmond and Chesapeake
rsilroa6*he Baltimore and Drum Point railroad
and line to be organized to connect with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad branch in the city
OF Washington. The length Of the main line,
exclusive Of branches, will be about l57 miles
The proprietors Of this new combination are
Mr.. Edward Lauterb bach and Mr.. Oliver W.
Barnes Of New York, who are interested in the
Drum Point railroad and they have endeavored
to interest the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company in the matter through a mutual
friend. The matter has been looked into casu-
ally by the baltimore and Ohio people, but they
say that the line they are building from Lin
den, on the Metropolitan branch, just outside
OF the District OF Columbia, under the name of
the Metropolitan Southern railroad, which Is TO
connect them with the Virginia Midland in
Virginia, under another charter, is a far better
plan for reaching the south ana making O con.
nection with the Richmond Terminal system
than to strike to the south along line between

HOT AFTER MEREDITH.
Knights Of Labor Still Pursuing the Chief Of
the Printing Bureau.
rFRoM A STAFF coRREsPoNpENr.l

cFROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Chief Mere
dith, of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, is being forced to endure hot
fire in the investigation now going on of
the conduct of his bureau The committee
of Knights of Labor opposing the chief in
the investigation have made charges affecting
Mr Meredith's personal conduct and bust
ness management that are quite sensational,
but these have been circulated for some
time. The latest phase of the case is that
they have given it out that unless their de-
mands were granted the labor organizations
of Ohio would unite to defeat Major Nc
Kinley in the coming Gubernatorial elec-
tion.
On the contrary, if their demands were
acceded to by Mr.. Meredith, the knights of
Labor men reinstated and the status of the
organization recognized as they would have
it, they agreed to abandon the war on the
chief of the bureau and guarantee his con-
tinuance in office during the remainder OF
the present administration and through the
coming one, no matter what its political
nature may be. The supposed threat and
promise were of course not presented in SO
many words, but it seems to be about the
way the matter stands at present.

He says the German Laws Against Our
Pork Are Perfectly Proper.
CARLSBAD, June lip. D. Armour, of
Chicago, who is here at present with his
invalid wife, said among other things while
speaking about the new stockyards now be-
ing made at Toleston, Ind;
'In our new quarters we shall have the
most perfect arrangements for the proper
examination and packing of pork. You
know the objections which are made both in
Germany and France against American
pork.
81 think Germany has a perfect right to
demand that food products imported into
her territory should be perfectly healthy.
Our own interests, as well as common COM
mercial honesty, cause US to see that no dis
eased meat should be exported from our
places.
81 have no doubt" said MI. Armour,
'that as soon as the German Government is
convinced of its proper examination in
America it will allow the importation of
our pork. Of that examination we can now
give full proof We are willing to have
our goods rigidly examined upon their en-
tering Germany We are constantly look
ing for new markets for our products, and
we should be very careful not to ruin newly
opened avenues of trade by any careless
ness in handling and shipping diseased
meat"

FOSTER IS TROUBLED
Over What to Do With Grosvenor for
His Recent Blunder
In THAT NOW FAMOUS INTERVIEW.
The Generals Resignation Will Probably
Not Be Asked For.
NO sLUR MEANT FOR GOOD FOREIGNERS
rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, June lit is said that
Secretary Foster is much concerned to
know what is to be done in regard to Hon.
Charles H. Grosvener, of Ohio, who aroused
the ire of the German and other foreign
Americans by an interview touching the
work of the Foreign immigration Commits
sion, of which he is the head. The objec-
tionable part of the interview was clipped
from the Eresisg Star and sent out by the
Associated Press General Grosvenor de-
MED using the language, but Mr.. Charles
A. Boynton, agent here of the Associated
Press, asserts that he saw General Grosve-
nor; talked of the interview the evening it
was sent; told the General he had sent it,
and that if the General had intimated in
the faintest way that it was not authentic,
he would have countermanded it.
The only resort now is in the well-known
fact that General Grosvenor is not nice in
his discrimination in regard to the use and
meaning of words, is often blundering in
his language and that he did not mean to
cast any slur upon good foreigners already
here, especially the substantial German
farmers of the Northwest. While it has
Deen DrOaQly asserted InaL secretary OSLer
had decided to request the resignation of
General Grosvenor from the commission
about to sail for Europe to investigate the
whole question of immigration, this is not
the fact. The matter is under considera-
tion.
Even if the General had meant all he
said in his interview, there are many who
fail to see why this should affect his stand
ing on the commission. On the contrary it
should enhance his value, as the intent of
the law creating the commission was to get
at facts which would give reason for a
further restriction of immigration. As the
President and Secretary Foster had much
trouble in finding good soft place for
Grosvenor, it is thought that they will not
lightly dismiss him from this commission.
The worst phase of the whole matter is
that the commissions duty will be to make
of themselves successful junketing party
and make up their report from information
CLEANED from reports of Consuls, reports
made to the department of labor statistics,
and casual facts picked up while pleasuring
and dining with Consuls and Ministers.
The whole work might have been better
done by the Consuls under explicit instruc-
tions from the State Department.
