DID IT,
THAT GERMAN PARTY CHARGED
WITH CATTLE EMBARGO.
Bound to FenceOut COMPETE
ton From the More Fertile Fields of
America-Agrarian Organs Ridicule the
Commission Of Experts Who Reported
Favorably Upon the Condition of Ameri-
can Meats in England-CapriV Sharply
Criticised for Pampering German Com
mercial Interests.

Washington, Dec. Sit is stated at
the agricultural department that the
agricultural, or Agrarian party in the
German empire brought about the pro-
hibition of the importation to Germany
of live cattle, dressed beef, canned beef
and other meat products from the Uni
ted States. Secretary Morton says that
the landed proprietors in Germany are
the protectionists who teach McKin-
leyism in high Dutch They desire,
he says, to exclude all competition
which may arise from the fertile lands
of the United States. In proof Of his
position the secretary gives out the fol-
lowing extract from the morning edi-
ton of December Z, 1894. No. 572. Of the
Kreuse CNeu Vossisch Zeitung) pub
lished at Berlin, which is the acknowl-
edged leading organ of the Agrarian
interests:
1.-The business firms of Hamburg. in
tereSted in the importation of American
cattle are doing everything in their pow
er to remove the prohibition which was
enforced on account of the danger of
diseases. Experts went to England for
the purpose of obtaining information as
to the experience derived there about
the importation of cattle and. to the sur
prise of no one returned home with the
most favorable news. EngliShmen, who
look for disease everywhere. and for
reason have made the German business
life a burden for years, state that they
are of the opinion that Texas fever has
no dangerous character and is not con-
tageouS at all. 1t is to be hoped that
the Hamburg gentlemen will be mis-
taken if they are of the opinion that
this optimism which, from their stand
point, is easily explained, Will be shared
by the responsible authorities. The
Hanseatic business interest was warned
when it formed the idea several months
ago of repia cling the expectation or hu-
man beings (emigrants) with the impor-
tation Of cattle.
'"The conservative and Agrarian
press had already at that time called
attention to the considerations against
it onaccount Of the danger OF Infection;
but, as is always the case, no impress
sion was made. The new course
(Caprivis) had pampered business In
SO far as 1t was not Of an agricultural
character, 10 such an extent mat tne
business people had the idea that they
might do anything. The cattle steam
ers were built mad the ball began to
roll. That this prohibition, coming
sooner than anybody could have antict-
mated. is disagreeably felt, we are ready
to believe, but we are all the same con-
WINGED the Hamburg business interests
will bear this loss better than the Ger
man agricultural interests could bear
tagfous diseases and we therefore
sincerely hope, as already stated, that
the English Travellers experiences of
the Hamburg expert will be shelved
with the records as valuable material
In Berlin and elsewhere"

SETS HIM TO TOAST
Continued From First Page.

Of the details Of the outrage, but Mr..
Byrnes on examination was unable TO
discover that any outrage had been
conitted necessitating action on his
part and in that way official announce
ment was made that the agents of our
society need not look for official pro-
lection and were to be considered as le-
climate prey
Now that is Byrnes. He IS the man
we have had steadily in our eye for
three years and he has had us securely
in his eye. As the community knows
our work has meant nothing but the
overthrow of misrule In this city. and
yet he has fought US. Now, why has
not the senatorial committee through
with these matters? We have urged
that Mr.. Byrnes should be asked
whether prior to the senatorial inves-
tigation he had known Of the rotten
ness of the police force. He had or he
had not. If he had, and still kept his
mouth shut, he was Enthusiastically vile;
and if he had not he was Enthusiastically
imbecile. Now why did not the COM
mittee insist that Mr.. Golf. in his char
acteristic manner. should broil Mr..
Byrnes on that bifurcate dilemma
'T am nothing but a minister, but IL
/ had been a lawyer Of Mr.. COTS abil-
ity I would have put Mr.. Byrnes on
that toasting iron and / would have
guaranteed to briol out Of him all of
days session, providing, Of course, that
the committee would have allowed me
to do so.
No LETTING UP NOW.
Let me repeat in conclusion that
have no interest in this matter save
profound and passionate desire to see
work that is thorough. If Mr.. Byrnes
-;~I, 1l1a ;efio IioDocitinv n a
his own neck out Of the yoke, says he
has been so handicapped as to be prac-
tically powerless, want to say that all
such excuses are evasive and cowardly.
If he had wanted TO turn the police de-
partment upside down and exhibit 1t
in the character he certainly knew be-
Ionged to il, he could have it and done
stood by him and no body OF men more
soldierly or heartily than the Society
for the Prevention Of Crime.
IF may be permitted to refer to my
self, / have been able to do something
in that line the past three years, not
withstanding that 1 was outside Of the
department and nothing but minister,
and I do declare If Byrnes had wanted
to do anything he could have done II
and he could have accomplished more
in the shape of earthQuaking results In
three months than l have been able to
do intwelve times three months. Men
with as much influence as MIR. ByIneS
who have been in the mist OF iniquity
clear up to their ears for thirty years
can fight iniquity If they want to and
If they are clean they will want to.
Tam aware that many who are our
friends will take exceptions to this
statement. Some will say that it is
inexpedient. That is not a considera-
ton that weighs with US. We are not
prowling for promotion nor burning for
popularity, but the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Crime was here before the
senate committee came down and will
be here after the senate committee has
gone back and the uncompromising line
that we have followed in the past will
be followed In the future"
