of the importers.
The vote Of the French Chamber settles definitely
the question OF the cadmisson of American pork into
France, its entrance into which country had been pro
hbited since 1881. That product Is Included in the
general Tariff law, on the footing that OF
similar products from other countries Consequently
1t is not even necessary for the French Government
TO issue special decree repeating the prohbltive
measures taken in 1881 by Minister Trard and in
1883 by Minister Herisson. Within few weeks the
new Tariff law will be proclaimed, and American salted
meats will enjoy the same right as any other
Foreign salted products, to be imported into France
on paying duty of twenty-five francs-a condition
which was foreshadowed by The Tribune In its Issue
of October 81, when 1t said 1t is highly probable
that the Senate will vote according to the decision OF
Its Tariff Committee, and that the Chamber Will accept
the slight modification made by the Senate The
Deputies, indeed, had been convinced by the efforts OF
the representative In Paris OF the United States that
American pork IS as wholesome as any similar
product But the French Deputies, fearing
too strong competition the part of American pork
had consented to its renroducton only the condition
that II should be taxed twenty francs per 100 lulo
grammes "a per 220 pounds. 1t Is not likely that
they Will object TO the amendment by which the
senate may raise the duty to twenty-five francs
This figure has been adopted but II is unlikely tina.
the duty Will long remain high, since the necessity
of providing cheaper meat for the aborng classes and
even for the army, in France. will become more and
more imperative For instance, during debate on the
War Budget in the Chamber, November 5, NJ.
COcery, chairman Of the committee, justified the In
Of 80000O0 francs asked for the subsistence OF
the troops, by stating that between 1850 and 1890 the
price of live stock had increased IL per cent and that
the price OF purchased for the soldiers had in
creased II per cent. II is reasonable therefore, to
expect that the present high duty American pork
will not be permanent; and that its decrease will be
brought about through the efforts of United states
diplomacy, which succeeded in July hst in inducing
the French Chamber to regard favOrably American
salted meats. That product was thus delivered from
the suspicion of unwholesomeness, suspicion which
attached to II all through Europe; and, soon aer the
vote Of the French Chamber of Deputies, Germany,
Denmarck, Italy and Austria consented to the read
mission of American pork.

The Last Shot Fired at AppOmattOx

Col. II. Kyd Douglas contributed to
the Baltimore Sun an interesting remi-
niscence of the movements Of the famous
Light brigade" on the retreat from
Pet, rsburg and at the surrender at Ap-
pomattox, in which he proves that his
command fired the last SHOT for the Con-
federacy at Appom lttox.
Col. VIM A. Morgan of Shepherds
town, and gallant officer in Gen. Fitz
Lees cavalry division, writes as follows
to the Baltimore Sun
"In your issue of January 23rd there
seems to be contention in reference to
what Col Charles Marshall stated in his
speech in New York relative to the last
fighting by the cavalry at Appomattox.
In justice to the brigade-I commanded
that day. and to which the brave Lieu
tenant Colonel Gas Dorsey, command
ing the Maryland cavalry, was attached
/ feel it my duty to inform you that the
very last shot fred in the defense of the
then defunc; Confederacy was done by
this dashing, gallant Mary land command.
All this occurred sometime after Gen.
Lee had formally surrendered the Army
of Northern Virginia.
The very ir>t intimation | had of the
surrender was from the enemy, who had
assaulted my line, which was handsome
ly repulsed; and at this particular time,
and during the haste and confusion of
their lines, was notified by these very
men, under flag of truce, that our army
had been surrendered There are many
Marylanders now living, who were on
the ground with me that day. who will
indorse this statement. Honor to
