AMERICAN BEEF.
Said to Be In High Favor With London
Aristocrats.


Washington. Feb 2S.-Secretary Nor
ton has prepared statement for the
Associated Press regarding the meat
trade 6s the United States with certain
foreign countries.
export American beef is Of such
high quality that the parliamentary
committee in England in 1898 reported
that in some Of the most fashionable
and aristocratic markets in London
sold 1t as prime Scotch and English
meat In some of the large meat sell
ling establishments in, the aristocratic
West End of London, there was practi-
cally no other than American meat
sold. Yet 1t was called English and
Scotch 1t is claimed by the United
States international dealers in meats
that all the cry against the edibleness
of American meats, and all the charges
against the sanitary conditions of
American live cattle sent abroad are
inspired by the land owning protec>
tionists of Germany and France. They
desire, II is said, to make cattle and
meat higher In the German and French
markets by making cattle and beer
scarcer. The herds of the United States
are in a splendid sanitary condition.
There has not been case Of pleuro-
pneumonia In any of the United States
or territories in the last three years.
No animal which has not been In
spected and declared healthy will be
shipped abroad. The United States will
continue to furnish all meatless Europe
with the best and cheapest pork and
beef In the world"

Paris, Feb. 2S.-Contrary to the ca

States Ambassador Eustls has not re-

the French exclusion Of American cat

to the scope of the decree which APP

which does not affect tinned or dressed

Considering that contagious diseases
which do not exist in France are preva-

mails of the bovine species, and that
cases have been established among
animals Imported into Europe rom
that country, it is necessary to take
measures to prevent the introduction
of these diseases into our territory"

McLANE MADE COLONEL,
An Ex-Army Officer Is in Com

With a Toy Gunboat the Honolulu
Officials Are Looking for
FilibuSterS.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June IA pri-
vate letter from Honolulu, under date of
May 20, printed in the News to-day, says,
among other things, that McLane, late of
the United States army and navy, who
had charge of General Grants funeral pro-
cession, has been made colonel of the Ha-
waiian Regiment.
He arrived on the last boat and took
charge at once. He is regarded by the
troops as thoroughly military, and has
made some radical changes and inaugu-
rated course of strict discipline, which
has heretofore been rather lax.
The letter adds that there are lots of ru-
mors ahoat on the island of filibustering
expedition that is supposed to be on its
way down to the islands, or else getting
ready to come. The Government has hired
a steamer, placed cannon on board and
has it patrolling around the islands watch
ing for any suspicious vessels that come in
sight.

MINERALS AND METALS.
1here Has Been Great Falling Off n,
the Production.

1heTe Has Been Great Failing or In
the Production.
NEW YORK, n. Y, June Accord
ing to the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal the total value of the mineral and
metal production in the United States in
1884 and 1898 was: In 1893, $6l5, SAG, sos;
1884, 1858, 272 ,902. This shows decline of
about $50, 573, sO4 or per cent.
This great falling off was, however, due
far more to lower prices than to the les
sened quantity of the product. Thus, the
value of the coal production declined last
year $13, 7S3, 1928, or per cent, while in
quantity it fell off only $3.50, $40 short tons,
or 81 per cent. This small decline in the
volume of coal produced is substantially
the mea sure of the whole output of the
country.
The copper output has increased per
cent from 327 ,255, 7S8 pounds in 1893 to $685.
504, 314 pounds in 1894, though in value it
declined no less than 81 ,639, 5OS, or AZ per
cent. The gold production increased from
$50, 1856, 900 in 1893 to $39, 761 ,2O5 in 1894 but
the commercial value of the silver pro-
duced declined from 1871, 45O in 1898 to
TO $31, 403 531 in 1894, fall of SIS 907 929. or
"a per cent.
This was partly due to the reduced pro-
duction, but the price also declined from
49, cents an ounce in 1898 to 63 cents in
1894. On the whole the mineral industry
of the United States has made hi ghy
satisfactory record for 1894. With reviving
prosperity and prices producers will reap
harvest for that which they planted in
hard times.

SHOULD EXTEND THE ZONE
There Is Not Sufficient Protection, to Ber-
ing Sea Seals


ing Sea Seals
WASHINGTON, D. c., June LIT is
stated at the British embassy that the
new Boring Sea bill, which Sir Edward
Grey announced in the House of Com
mons yesterday, is one perfecting the
phraseology of the present act, without
altering or extending the substantial fea-
lures of the present act. 1t will not, it is
said, enlarge the zone or extend the closed
season, as these points are fixed by the
Paris award and are not subject to change
until new award is made. Officials of
both Governments seem to agree, however,
that the protected zone should be extended
from sixty to two hundred miles, as expert
testimony establishes it as fact that the
female seal goes far outside the sixty-mile
limit, and can be slaughtered without re.
gard to the Government patrol.
change in this particular cannot be
effected, however, until the governments
have further conferences. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, sails
on Tuesday next for his summer vacation
in Great Britain. He will probably be in
London when the Bering Sea bill is intro
duced and debated, but he does not antici-
pate that the debate will be of any signif.
canoe on the general subject.

SHERMAN ANSWERS HILL,
Says the New York Statesman
Had Evidently Not Read
His Speech.
Why Both Gold and Silver Should
Be Maintained at the Same
Parity.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 1.-The Com
mercial Gazette's special from Mansfield
says: Senator Sherman, in reply to query
tonight as to whether he had read Senator
Hills criticism OF his GAINESVILLE speech,
said that he had, but that Senator Hills
remarks would indicate he had not read
the speech.
"At all the conventions in Ohio,' said
the Senator, 1--WE have declared we are in
favor of the use of both gold and silver
maintained at par with each other. To
this extent that we can maintain the silver
at par with gold we coin it at the present
ratio. We buy the silver at its market
value and coin it at the legal ratio, but we
maintain it by receiving it and paying ii
out as the equivalent of gold"
"Is there anything in this to degrade our
dollar standards, as Senator Hill says?"
at does not degrade it. The whole OF
our policy is to main the two metals at par
with each other"
"What about Senator Hills sarcastic
reference to our silver dollars and green
back dollars being exportable?''
'sMr. Hill only displays his ignorance
when he says our silver money and all
other forms of money are not receivable in
England at the value we put upon them,
because we receive it and they can send it
back on the steamer at trifiing cost and
can use it in payment instead of gold.
They can present silver certificates and we
receive the same as gold in payment OF
duties. If we refuse to accept them on a
parity with other money we would be on
the standard of silver"
