He Wants h German Order Against
American Meats Rescinded.

American Meats Rescfnded.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %. Secretary
Gresham has made a very strong repre-
sentation to the German government as to
the injustice to the United States of the
recent order prohibiting the importation OF
American cattle and fresh meat into Ger
many. He has protested that the action.
which is so severe a blow to a great Amer
lean industry was taken without sufficient
evidence of the existence of disease among
or of the contagious character or harmful
effects. The Secretary and the German
ambassador were in conference at the State
Department to-day on the subject, and the
minister considered the protest to his home
government, promising that IL should re-
ceive careful consideration.
One OF the secretaries of the German en-
bassy, when asked to-day about the ex-
clusion of American meats and the protest
against that action by Secretary Gresham,
cited a recent interview with a Chicago
meat packer to the effect that we were
sending very little meat or cattle into Ger
many, anyhow, as evidence that the i'm
p~ortance OF the action Of the German gov
knew nothing, he said, Of the protest OF
Secretary Gresham against Germany's ac-
ton. There is no probability" continued
the Secretary, that the new Chancellor
will inaugurate any change In policy toward
the importation of American cattle.
With us all questions of policy originate
with the Emperor and are not subject to
change in the personnel Of the govern
ment."

OUR CRITICS.
NOVEMBER, 1894.

While San Francisco is getting some
hard knocks both from the stranger with
out the gate and from residents within,
nothing has been said of US so exasperat-
ing as the criticism of the society women
of New York by woman resident of that
city. People may say that our streets are
not clean, that our Fire Department does
not understand its business. that our
audiences do not know good acting from
bad, that we run after fads, but no one
has yet said that our women are not pretty.
But that is what Gertrude Atherton says
of New York's Four Hundred. While, of
course, she does not say that there are no
pretty girls among them she says that they
do not average well. and that there are no
really beautiful faces to be seen al such
gatherings as the MadisOn-square horse
show. The cold steel of criticism has not
yet, therefore, entered our vitals. The
things in which we are deficient are things
that may be acquired, but beautiful women
cannot be turned out to order. They are
the result of conditions that only one time
in million exist at their best. While San
Francisco seems inclined to let its critics
DO their worst. and perhaps to urge them
Cd, New York Is more sensitive. It's vtals
are wrung. a hundred writers are now
asserting that the woman critic was no
judge of the beauty of her sex; that she
does not know good nose when she sees
one; that she criticizes society from afar,
and that in this case distance does not lend
enehantment to the view. While this war
of the pens is going on let US bear in mind,
that the critic who is unnoticed is a gooG
deal more uncomfortable than one who is
attacked and discounted.

MORE TROUBLE in MOSQUITO,

The British Minister to Nicaragua has
announced that Great Britain refuses to
recognize the Nicaraguan Government,
Taken in connection with the context it
seems probable that the decliDation refers
OILY to the claim of the Nicaraguan Gov
eminent to control over the Mosquito coun-
try. 1t is not likely that Great Britain
refuses general recognition Of the Gov
eminent of Nicaragua. Presidents and
administrations succeed each other pretty
rapidly in the Central American States 4:
so rapidly, 10 fact. that foreign powers are
disposed to recognize whoever happens to
be on top for the time being, for want of
any more stable representative of the
country.
Regarding the Mosquito country, how
ever, ii is quite possible that the British
Minister has declined to recognize Mica
raguan rule. There is an old claim 10
Mosquito independence. or semi-indepen-
dence, under British protection which
England seems tc have been work
ing up lately for all it is worth.
No one perhaps pretends to understand
this Mosquito embroglio, but in general
way there seems to be evidence that Great
Britain is trying to get control there. The
population is partly made up Of Jamaica
negroes. presumably British subjects, or
with British affiliations. The recent
action of Nicaragua in taking possession
at Bluefelds presumably sets some British
pretensions OF prolectorate at defiance.
first the Nicaraguans laid the heavy hand
on British subjects and American citizens
alike. Lately the situation seems to have
taken a tarn somewhat in favor of the
Americans. which may have induced this
British refusal of recognition.
It would be all Temps in teapot, in
which we on this side of the continent
could have little or NO interest, except in
a general way as Americans, by virtue of
the Monroe doctrine. were it not for the
Nicaragua canal matter. 1t is limited in
the DISPATCHES that the canal ID at the
bottom of British action. Californians

Considerable interest is manifest in COM

that the Southern Pacific has submitted
a proposition TO lines east of the Missis-

from the river and points east thereof to
this coast and that these roads have con-
senied to the proposal. Rates on commod-
tiles are now on a basis OF 80 cents per 100
pounds from the seaboard, and the South
ern Pacific, it is said, proposes to advance
these rates to a basis of 30 cents. Other
classes of freight which now command
higher rates are also to be advanced pro-
portionately.
