THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY. APRIL 23.

SECRETARY MORTON of the Bureau OF
Agriculture was shown the charge IN
the Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune that he had inflated the
statistics of pork exported to Germany.
as his figures do not correspond with the
official figures of the bureau OF statistics
of the treasury department, and show
much greater aggregate than is given by
that bureau. Secretary Morton said, in
reply, that the figures Of the department
of agriculture are just as much official
figures as those of the bureau OF statis-
tics, and that. concerning the exports OF
pork to countries requiring certificates
Of inspection, the inspectors Of the bu
reau of animal industry have an oppor-
tunity to obtain the exact figures which
is not shared by any other department
of the government. Every package OF
pork which goes to Germany or France
must be stamped by an inspector OF the
bureau of animal industry, who takes its
exact weight, and every shipment OF
pork to those countries must be accom-
panied by certificate issued by an in
spector, showing that the meats have
been properly inspected, and giving the
stamp number of every package. The
inspector reports all the certificates is
sued, with the number of packages, the
weights, the destination and the con-
signees.
