AGAINST GERMANS ACTION con-
CORNING AMERICAN MEATS.

ceIIOr VIII Hardly Make Any

Eno-Other News of the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Secretary
Gresham has made a very strong rep
resentation to the German government
Of the injustice 20 the United States Of
the recent order prohibiting the importa-
ton Of American cattle and fresh meat
into Germany. He has protested that
the action, which is so severe a blow 10
a great American industry, was taken
without sufficient evidence of the exist
ence Of disease among the cattle exported
from the United States or Of its conta-
giOus character or harmful effects. The
secretary and the German ambassador
were in conference ct the state depart
ment today on the subject and the min
lister transmitted the protest 70 his home
government. promising that IL should re-
ceVe careful, consideration. There is
some reason to hope that our govern
ment may be able TO secure suspension
of the order, for a time at least, 10 al
ford opportunity for further inVestga-
ton and the proper consideration OF such
representation as we can make to sup
port our case, and one reason for tnls
belief is founded on the change just made
in the German chancellOrship
One Of the secretaries Of the German
ambaSSy. when asked today about Ger
man exclusion of American meats ana
the protest against that action by Score
tary Gresham, cited the recent interview
with a Chicago meat packer 10 the effect
that we were sending very little meat or
cattle into Germany anyhow.
There is no probability" continued
the secretary, that the new chancellor
will inaugurate any change in policy to-
ward the importation of American cattle.
With US all questions of policy originate
with the emperor and are not subject 10
change IN the personnel Of the govern
ment."
EnO's Case demanded.
The United States supreme court today
reversed the decision of the circuit court
in the case of John c. Emo. formerly presi-
dent of the Second national bank of New
York who was convicted of forgery IN the
New York state courts about ten years
ago. Emo raised the point that the state
courts were without jurisdiction, and that
ne could be tried only in the federal court.
This view of the law was upheld by the
circuit court, but is upset by today de-
cision Of the supreme court, which re-
manded the case % the state court -
The ground on which Emo resisted
court Jurisdiction was that the Oifense
der the banking laws Of the United Statd
was within the exclusive jurisdiction oS
the federal courts. The case has been
watched with interest by bank officers
ard others. Justice Harlan rendered the
decision Of the court While Justices Fled
and Shiras dissanted in an opinion deny
ing jurisdiction of the state courts.
