THE RESTRICTION ON IMPORTA-
TION REMOVED.

|
The Greater Part OF the Administre-
tion's Attention Now Being Given
to Furthering American interests in
the Paclflc-The Governments Atti-
tuds Toward Chile.
WAsHINGToN. Sept. 8-The Secretary of
State is in receipt of a telegram from the
United States minister at Copenhagen,
dated Sept. s, saying that the minister Of
the interior had to-day issued an order re-
moving the restrictions on the importation
of American pork and that hereafter all our
pork bearing proper certificates of inspection
will be admitted into Denmark
EFFORTS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Although the efforts of this government
to further the introduction of American
meat products into Europe have not abated
as Il result of the success of the negotiations
with Germany, the greater part Of the
official attention is now being directed to
the advancement Of American interests in
the Pacific. SO far as Chile is concerned.
the department of state is much
encouraged by Minister Egan's cable
gram announcing the establishment of
cordial relations between himself and the
provisional government. Officials at the
department, specially call attention to the
fact that the provisional government in
Chile was not organized until Sept. 4, and
on the same day it was recognized by the
American minister who had been instructed
by cable to do so.
NOT FORMAL ACTION.
This action is not formal official recognis
tion, but is all that can be done by any
nation at this juncture and is in line with
the precedents of diplomatic practice. When
the republicans III Spain in 1873 succeeded
in overthrowing the monarchy, Mr.. Fish,
Secretary of State, instructed Mr.. Slckles,
the American minister to Spain,
as follows: $50 soon as q republi-
can government is fully established
and in possession OF the power Of nation,
you will recognize it" This was followed,
after the election of Spanish president, by
the issuance of new credentials to Minister
Sickles, and SO when the rev president of
Chile is elected, Mr.. Egan will receive
credentials of the same kind. Meanwhile
he will continue the friendly relations he
has already established with the provisional
government.
HAWAII's CRISIS.
Reports are expected to reach the depart
ment OF state in a few days from Honolulu,
embodying the announcement of the death
of John Dominis, the prince consort. De-
velopmeIts in that quarter are being mar
roWlY watched on account OF the possibility
of an uphesvel and resulting jeopardy Of
American interests.
Such official information as has reached
the department from Samoa ia Indicative
OF the existence of feeling of unrest
among the natives, and it was believed
to be polite to send a man-of-war there.
This vessel, the Iroquois. arrived at Apia
few days ago. There is at present a Ger
man man-of-war there, and an English
uiser is expected there in a few days.
With these vessels lending support to the
established government of the islands, it is
felt tnat any resistance to Malietoa, who
occupies the throne as result of the
tripartite agreement, will be speedily over

The Agricultural College Likely TO

The Agricultural College Likely to
remain at Athens.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. S-The bill intro
duced by Mr.. Dismukes OF Spalding to re-
move the state agricultural college from
Athens to Griffin was again under the con-
sideration OF the genera agricultural
committee this afternoon, and as the
report below will show, was
finally disposed of SO far as that
body is concerned. Mr. Dismukes COM
menced an argument before the com.
nittce last Friday, but stated at the
opening Of the meeting this evening
that il the committee would take vote
on the measure this evening he
would have nothing to say. The
committee then heard an argument by Col
n. J. Hammond, of the board OF trustees
OF the university, against the favorable re-
port Of the bill. Col. Hammond gave the
whole history of thxuse Of the land scriI
the members against doing anything which
they would afterward regret. Such
a movement as this would seriously
cripple the university, and he advised
the members to do nothing which would
break the record of this legislature as q
strong, wise and conservative body.
Mr. Everett OF Stewart made a motion 10
report the bill favOrably
call OF the yeas aud naVs was re-
sponded to and the vote stood % to 22,
which made IL necessary for Chairman
Twitty to cast the deciding vote. He voted
against making a favorable report. The
minority gave notice that they would also
submit a report.

Another Effort to Have R2um Re-
moyed-His Resignation in the Near
Future Not improbable.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S-Pension Com
missioner Raum's creditors seem to be
closing in upon him. Another equity suit
has been brought against him, this time by
A. L. Conger of Ohio, a member of the
republican executive and national commit
tee. who loaned him $1,000. Mr. Conger,
by his counsel files bill in equity against

Commissioner Raum's official head will
shortly fall IN the basket, il Secretary No
bles mission to Cape May Point was not in
vain. Back of the osJensible purpose of
determination to have settlement with
the President as to Commissioner Raum.
Secretary Noble, an honest and sensitive
man, has been greatly annoyed by Commits
sioner Raum's performances, in and out Of
the pension office, and for months has been
trying to get him removed, but neither the
revelations before the House investigating
committee last winter nor the revelations
involving Green B. Raum, Jr., last spring

the President to remove Commissioner
Raum.
HARRIsoN's FEAR.
President Harrison thinks that Commits
si0ner Raum has some influence still IN the
Republican party of Illinois, and hesitates
to remove him lest it should Interfere with
his search for delegates, but the publicity
given to Commissioner Raums affairs by
the recent suits against him has stirred up
Secretary Noble to make another attempt
to lid his department of Commissioner
Rauu, and he went down to Cape May
Point resolved to insist upon it, 1t is ex-
pected that his return tomorrow will be
followed by more or less involuntary
resignation by Commissioner Rsum.
A MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Il is even said that ex-Representative
William Warner of Missouri past COM
mander-in-chief Of the Grand Army of the
Republic, is here at Secretary Mobiles re-
quest, to consider the acceptance of Com
missioner Raum's place. Mr.. Warner
would not take it when Tanner was re
moved, but it is thought that he might
take it now to oblige Secretary Noble. If
the President asked Secretary Noble to
wait till the Illinois delegates are elected to
the next national convention Secretary
Mobiles desire to be relieved from daily
contact with his disagreeable snbordinates
may grow so strong that he may speedily
resign. 1t will not be. however, to take

aud Attorney General Miller are indignant
at the idea that they would accept judicial

The Finances of the Country In a Bad
Way.
LONDON, Sept. 8.-The Paris correspon-
dent Of the Times discussing the situation
in Russia. says; "After the refusal of the
Rothschilds Of loan to Russia, it was
found that it would require 1000, 900 to
relieve the distress in Russia, while the
poverty of the people would cause a large
reduction in the customs receipts from the
sale of alcohol. and the expenses of in
cressing her armament would bring the
aggregate deficit up to $35, ,0O0, 900, or to

CHARLESTON, 8. c., Sept. S.-Mr. Baum
garten, well-known newspaper man,

position on the Charleston YOrld as proof
reader. He also occasionally assisted a
King street photographer in his business,
and thus came in possession of the deadly
drug.
THE CAUSE FOR HIS ACT.

dependency, caused partly by a notice Of
discharge from his position, and principally
by disappointment in love. IL is said that
he was engaged recently to a young lady in
Chester county, and that the two were to
have been privately married on next Friday
night. day or two ago he received
letter from his fiance. stating that the mar
riage would not take place. This is sup

ATLANTA, GA. Sept. 8,-There is trouble
brewing In the ranks of the Atlanta Rifles.
Capt NJ. B. Spencer has preferred
charges of insubordination against two
members-Privates viii Mcmillan and
Will Appler. The official papers are now
in the hands Of Col. w. L. Calhoun and a
court martial is looked for. "Too much
Spencer" is the way kicking faction sums
up the trouble. Capt. Spencer, by way of
explaining this, has brother who is first
lieutenant and treasurer. The specif-
cation in the charge is that these
two members refused to drill at a
company meeting about ten days ago.
Several members Of the company have ex
pressed their determination Of getting out
of it, and it is even stated that within the
past few days number Of them went 20
ex-Lieut. Harry Shook and asked him to
accept the captaincy Of new company.
The feeling that now exists may be at
tributed principally to the forced resigna-
tion Of Lieut. Snook about six weeks ego.

THE oAPIroL's BLIND TIGER
Two Members OF the Legislature Re-
fuse to Testify.


ATLANTA. GA, Sept. S.-The case Of
Peter McMichael, the capitol blind tiger
negro. came up to-day before United States
Commissioner VIII Haight. The three
principal witnesses we're three legislators,
two of whom would have testified to convict
Peter if they had testified at all, but the
case was practically not gone into because
Of a peculiar techpicality. This was
the law that exempts legislators from
being subpunaed as witnesses during
the session of the legislature. 80, gentle
men" said Commissioner Haight, after he
had explained this law to the three legisla-
tors, "this court cannot comps you to tes-
tify now." Two of the legislators took ad-
vantage of this and refused to testify. The
other member, who stands in with Peter.
testified voluntarily in behalf Of the negro.
or course he could not be cross,Questioned.
STORY OF THE DETECTIVES,
So the only testimony in the case was that
Of the detectives. They related the circum-
stances OF the capture of the bind tiger.
Their evidence would have been very valu-
able in CONJUNCTION with that Of the legis-
lators, but alone it was not sufficient to con-
vict. Peter was discharged. The action of
the legislators in shielding thenegro is vari-
ously commented upon here. A few people
believe that the state capitol is the proper
place for a blind tiger, bnt many
people don't think so. AS the matter stands
now there is nothing possible to be done
until the legislature adjourns. Then the
members can be made to appear and to
testify under oata like other witnesses and
il the state authorities refuse to pr secute
the case then it will be taken up in the
federal courts after indictment by the grand
Jury
