Berlin. Oct. A most important
revelation regarding American pork
was made by the German govern
ment's announcement in the semi-ot1-
cial press yesterday that it has re-
ceiyed information that American pork
has entered Germany without certi-
ticate.
Inquiry made at the United States
embassy confirms the report that the
discovery had been made. Thousands
of tons of American pork have been I'M
ported through number of custom
houses for years past without certh-
Gates. The German government was
ignorant of the fact and denied it, un-
ii | overwhelming evidence was oo-
tained and submitted by the embassy s
scientific attache. Mr.. Smith. The em-
basSy has requested the foreign office
to instruct the customs houses to m
sist in every case upon certificate.
No American firm is implicated in
these importations. which explain the
alleged discovery of trichina in
American pork German dea'ers in
American pork offered in July last a
reward of 1000 marks for > case OF
human trichinosis due to American
pork. and three months have passed
without anybody claiming the money.

ericnn Interests.

Washington, Oct. .3.-Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
partment showing the existence OF
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for n warship to approach.
The vessels selected for this undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrei.
1t is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the TaSd
forts at the entrance of the Pang He

but the Petrol. being of much smaller
proportions. may be able to reach Tien

ty, where he was engaged for three
weeks in fighting forest fires along
west side of Bald mountain. the east
and west sides of the Platte valley
near Bennett, on the head of Spring
creek, the forks of the encampment
river and around Battle lake.
Mr.. Abbott's force consisted of a
large number of ranchmen who volun.
teered for the work. and 20 men whom
he hired. The country where some of
the fires were burning is rough and
mountainous. and il was necessary tC
use parN animals TO reach it.
With great difficulty the various
fires were put out. and their ravages
confined to n mparatively small
area. Had the fire on Bald mountain
crossed to the east side of the noun
tain, tract of magnificent timber %
miles long would have been destroyed
The department of the interior a,i-
thorized Mr.. Abbott to spare no ex'
pense in eNtinguishing the Carbon
county fires. From where he was
working. Mr.. Abbott states. that the
immense fires around Ilahn's peak

RADIO fires are driving large numbers
of deer and antelope north into Wy.

tary of State j. L. Power and Col. J. d.
Stewart have issued the following ap-
peal.
"Theycllow fever in Jackson is con.
fined to one district, inhabited almost
entirely by negroes. That district has
been rigidly quarantined, and all those
subject to infection are enclosed there
in. tits hoped and belived that by this
method the further spread of the dis
ease will be prevented. But within the
Gordon are 400 or 500 negroes who are
now out of work and in daily need.
This need will become desperate in a
few days, Unless they are fed. these
people must be released, and their re-
lease may mean an epidemic and great
loss ui.life. 1t is Impossible for the few
white people remaining in the city tc
meet this demand. We are therefore
forced to call upon the more favored
communities and individuals to extend
us immediate relief in money Or sup

Mississippi is at present located states
that the boys are very much pleased
with their location, after a trial of
about a month. The regiment was mus
tered in July %, and was in Camp Pat
Henry at jackson until September II, a
sufficiently long time for them to begin
to yearn for a change. The letter states
that the location of the camp is splen-
did, but that the Third Mississippi is
he smallest in camp, as all the other
regiments have twelve companies, while
it has only six. The health OF the rcgi'
ment is good, and the record OF the
Third in this respect is better than that
