Cornmeal, too.

In addition to the good news received by
the secretary from Italy and France, Mr..
Rusk has still another reason to rejoice
and be glad. He has been much interested
in the work of Special Agent Murphy, sent
by the department to Europe to convince
the governments there of the advantage of
saar corn products as staple article of food.
american corn or maize has never been
properly appreciated by the European coun.
tries and the principal export trade in that
line has been the shipping of corn across
the Atlantic in the shape OF pork. Secre-
tary Rusk is determined to convince our
German consul and others that there were
better uses even for our corn than feeding
it to hogs. and he sent Mr.. Murphy across
the water to initiate them into the delights
of "Johnnycake," ''hoe-cake," corn
pone," fried mush," etc.
The experiment was very successful. A
military committee has been appointed in
Germany TO examine this new article OF
food, and the secretary has been informed
that its report is very favorable. The COM
mittee recommends that where the food of
the German army has been made almost eX-
ciusively from rye bread, it be manufac-
tured from equal portions of rye flour and
cornmeal. This composition, it is claimed.
makes q highly nutritious and palatable
article of food. The result of this
recommendation, it is confidently expected.
will make great demand TOR American
cornmeal. Trade in this article hitherto
has been confined to exports to Great
Britain. Several American firms have been
making specially of it, much to their adj
vantage and profit. Now that Germany is
Willing to take it as an army food. the trade
is bound to increase. 1t Is expected that in
the reciprocity negotiations now pending
with Germany, corumeal will be one of the
articles TO receive the benefit of the treaty.
Secretary Rusk says it is an interesting
fact to contemplate the possibility Of fur
nishing the greatest army in the world with
corn bread. In fact, America is in fair
way to provide both the German and French
armies with bread and meat The French
army is now using almost exclusively Amer
lean timed meats put in cans that can be
readily attached to the soldiers haversack.
It is believed to be but a Question of time
before the German army is likewise provis-
ioned

WIRE TROUBLES.
Tilt Between the Western Union
and the Associated Press
OVER THE LEASED WIRES.
The Difficulty Settled for the Present at
Least-Some Strong Papers With
drawn From the Old and Form
New Association.
Special TO the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
New YORK, Oct 20.-The tilt in which
the Associated Iress and Western Union
telegraph company are at present engaged
may develop facts of decided interest, not
only to the journalistic world, but to the
general public as well. The affair had
its beginning in the Assoc ated Press
failing to pay its monthly rentals to the
telegraph company. That WAS last June,
and the bills have been rolling up ever
since. the matter eliminating in certain de-
crees last night by the Western Union cut
ting OH the wires leased to the Associated
Press. This step was taken only after the
executive committee of the Associated Press
had held meeting and the matter had been
fully considered. The wires leased by the
New York Associated Press were as fol-
lows: Two day and night wires between
Washington and New York, day and
night wire between Washington, Mem
wire from Washington to Richmond
and Norfolk, and night wire
between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. In
addition to these, the New York Associated
Press leased a wire in conjunction with the
Western association, known as the general
Western wire, and running from New York
to Chicago by way of Cincinnati and Pitts
burg. This, with the others, was also cut
off, and the association. during last
night and to-day was compelled to send and
receive it's news by the ordinary public
wires of the company.
This morning the sun and Tribune with
drew from the old association and formed
q new one under the name OF the National
press association, with Charles A. Dana
as president and William La an as vice
president, the two papers to collect the
news for themselves, and also to sell 1t TO
any customers who may care to buy.
In speaking of the causes which had
brought about this interesting condition OF
affairs, the Western Union people said that
the joint executive committee with whom
they had been dealing told them that their
power had been uSurped by other mem berS
of the association, and that they We're there
fore unable to make any further contracts
with the telegraph company.
The new National associated press has
secured contract with the Western Union
company and will begin business tonight
with that company. II is uncertain
whether the remaining members of the old
Associated Press, the wires of which
were cut out by the Western Union last
night, and that are now using the postal
wires, can renew the contract with the
Western Union company.
The United Press has Cancelled its con
tract with the old New York Associated
Press and has made similar contract with
the new National Press.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon William Henry
Smith, general manager of the Associated
Press, issued the following bulletin: THE
differences between the New York Associ-
ated Press and the Western Union tele-
graph company have been adjusted and the
leased wire system is now fully restored"

PARIS, Oct. 2O.-The senate tariff COM
mittee met again to day, when the subject
of admission OF American pork was debated
at considerable length. Finally the COM
mittee decided in favor OF the proposition
to impose a duty of SIS per 800 on
sailed meats of all kinds, including
pork, ham and bacon, instead of one Of
twenty francs which the chamber of depu-
ties had already passed. A syndicate OF
wine merchants at meeting to-day adopted
a protest against the excessive tariff on ele-
mentary products, especially that upon
wines, which has already passed the cham
Der of deputies. The protest demands that
the senate modify the deputies bill in sew
eral important respects.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20-Now that Italy
has followed in the footsteps of Germany
and lifted the embargo against American
pork. the attention of those interested in
this extension of American trade Is turned
to France. 1t is hoped that nation will also
fall into line. Secretary Rusk was in spec
ial good humor to-day and said he conf
IDENTIFY expected the matter to come up in the
French senate soon. From unofficial sources
the secretary is led to believe that favora-
BILE action will be taken at once. With the
embargo lifted in France, American pork
pSyill be restored to its old standing of ten
years ago in all the European countries ex-
cept Austria, Hungary and Turkey. There
are good grounds for believing that these

Divided ireland,

1t is very unfortunate for poor ireland
that even the death of ParneN did not al
lay the factional fight in the country. The
Parnellites refuse to affiliate on any terms
with the anti-Parnellites, and are making it
impossible for any union in the future. 1t
is certain that the one or the other faction
must be beaten out of the field. Dillon and
O'Brien have spoken in the kindliest terms
of Parnell. but have been finally forced to
show up some facts for their own defense
that do not speak well for his followers.
Healy and the more hotheaded of the anti
Parnellites are doing just as the Parnellites
have done, everything to widen the breach.
