NO MORE HORSE BEEF

Western AgricuIturist.
No more horse meat can now
be exported as beef by the
foreigners who come to this
country and buy old broken
down diseased horses at 50 80
and ship the moat to Europe as
American ccrned beef. Now all
export meat must be inspected
and sold on its merits for just
what it is. The first official
or Ter issued by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson puts into
force the postponed ruling of
the department relating to the
expectation of meat. Approx
ed first in '95, the order provides
that all beef offered for ship
ment to European ports. wheth
er fresh, saited or packed, must
be accompanied by a certificate
showing that the cattle from
which it was produced were
free from disease and the meat
sound and wholesome. The
meat of all ether species of
animals must be packed and
marked out TO show clearly the
species of animal from which it
was produced. Unless marked
aud eompanied by certificate
ofinspection it will not be allow
ed expectation. It ia believed
this will eventually shut out
shipments of horse meat, and
thus prevent injury to our ex-
port beef trade.
Now let our home markets
have like protection against
diseased horse meat, and if
foreigners come here and sell
it, compel them to sell it on its
merits or prohibit it altogether.

KING GEORGE
INTERVIEWED.

Paris, April 21-rhe cores
pendent of La Journal at Athens
had an interview with King
George at the palace yesterday.
His majesty is quoted as say
ing that he believed to the last
moment that peace would be
maintained, and did his utmost
to bring about a pacific solution
of the matters in dispute. The
king denied that Greece COM
menced hostitiss against Tur
key, and continuing, King
George said: "The truth is We
were attacked because Turkey
was ordered to attack us. There
never wonld have been war but
for certain intrigues, which will
appear later. All the powers
are more or Jess against us. If
they wanted war they have got
it. Such is the result of Euro
pean concert Europe must IN
derstand that after forcing Us
to war there shall be no ques-
ton limiting it. Greece under
stands that she must either be
victorious or disappear. The
war may be prolonged and
bloody, bat it now too late to
stop it. A great crime has been
committed against right and
humanity in the Cretan quest
ton and the the ehastisement
has now commenced"
