NO POLITICAL MOTIVE.
Germany Excludes Our Beef for San
itary Reasons Only.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The announce
ment by the Associated Press that the
embargo placed upon American cattle
by the senate of Hamburg had been
extended to the length of an exclusion
of American cattle and dressed meat
from every part of Germany was
received with surprise by the depart
ment officials today. That Texas
fever was merely the ground which
Germany could adopt for enforcing
1etaliatory measures against the Unit
ed States because of supposed dis
elimination against German interests
in the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill was the prevalent impression. The
German ambassador, however, as
sured the secretary of state today
that the measure of exclusion was
inspired solely by sanitary reasons
and had DO political motive behind it.

Germany Eats No American Cattle
Anyhow.

Washington, Odt. 2O.-Secretary
Morton was at the cabinet meeting
today for the first time since his re-
turn from Europe. The principal sub
ject discussed was the recent action
of the German government in discrim-
mating against American cattle and
American beef. Secretary Morton
called the attention of the president
and the other cabinet members to the
fact that Germany was an unimport-
ant factor in our foreign market for
cattle and beef.
Great Britain last year imported
393, ,941 head Of American cattle, while
Germany only took 1000. One
American farmer could supply the en-
tire German market, Of which it is
said we have just been deprived.

The use of the electro-magnet for the
removal of particles OF iron or steel
from, the eye Is becoming general, and
nm oval electrode has been devised by
DR.. Knapp for this purpose. The use
of a magnet Immediately after an In
jury, where a chip of iron or steel has
penetrated the interior of the eye, al
ways gives far more favorable results
as to vision than when used later.
Many cases are on record where large
particles have been removed from the
Interior Of the eye by the magnet, with
o hardly appreciate impairment Of the
vision. DR.. Knapp recommends that
In large injuries of the eye, where the
presence Of q piece Of iron or steel
within the eye is suspected, the physi-
clan should not hesitate to insert a mag
net, as Inflammation and loss OF the
eye will ensue If the foreign substance
be allowed to remain. II, however, the
injury shows but q very small opening
through the eyeball, the intruding sub
stance should first be located with
the ophthalmoscope, then the wound
through the eyeball should be carefully
enlarged, ard the magnet inserted as
close to the particle as possible. In this
way, by cautious manipulation, the sub.
stance may often be removed with but
little subsequent Inflammation.
