INSPECTION OF MEATS.
The German Government Bill Salts
factory and VIII Pass.

In the highest German quarters it is stat
ed that there is no doubt whatever that the
German government will he able to COM
nand the requisite majority to pass the
government measure Row before the reich
stag relating to the inspection Of meat,
foreign and domestic and for this reason
there is said to be no ground for the
apprehension expressed in this country
that the adverse action the bill
in committee would prejudice the trade
negotiations between the United States
and Germany. The bill now pending
in the reichstag is TO "A considerable extent
the result of negotiations between Berlin
and Washington and is acceptable to the
government authorities on both sides as well
10 the American meat industry.
The German government has never doubt
ed its ability to pass the measure in the
reichstag, and il is said the adverse action
of committee in no sense changes the
government plans or serves to show that
the bill will fail when it reaches the cham
poets to carry the measure by a large vote,
the only adverse element being made up of
the socialists. extreme agrarfanS and those
known AZ the wild members The aggre-
gate of this opposition is said to be far short
of sufficient to interfere with the govern
ment plans.
For the present. however. the government
bill will not be pushed as time is desired
10 allow this new outbreak of agrarian SEN
timent to pass over. and also to confer with
the various leaders. Later, when the agita-
ton Is over. the government bill Will be
pushed to a final hearing, and, II is said,
passed without difficulty. In the best in
formed official German quarters II is felt
that even temporary reverse in committee
would not have occurred had 1t not been
for the inoppOrtune appearance of the re-
port OF the court OF inquiry which has been
looking into the matter Of meat furnished
the American army.

GOMEZ WANTS CUBAN ARMY.
Thinks $1,000 Men Necessary Plans
to Pay InsurGcnt Troops.

A dispatch from Havana says: General
Maxine Gomez is trying to persuade Gov
ernor General Brooke that Cuban stand
! ing army of 1900 men is necessary ad-
junct to the proper government of the is
land. His views he has presented in writ
ing, but without eliciting as yet any reply.
The proposition is not likely to receive
much consideration at headquarters, where
considerable surprise was occasioned by
this magnificent project, which, if adopted,
Gomez doubtless believes would be placed
under his personal control.
The growing conviction that there is no
need of rural guards, except in the wilder
portions of the provinces of Santiago and
Puerto Principe. is confirmed by the in
vestigations of Captain Hickey of the gov
ernor generals staff, who returned Monday
from 2,0o0-mile trip through the provinces
east of Havana, which has occupied two
months.
Captain Hickey in carefully written re-
ports to General Brooke, asserts that with
the exception of few in Santiago province,
ne found no traces of bandits. Political
feeling in the country Districts he de-
ciares, lis far less intense than Ia Havana,
where the malcontents are gathered. Most
OF the Cubans of the provinces favor ulti-
mate independence, but they are willing to
have the American military occupation
continue for year at least. as they recog-
nize that the island revenues are expended
honestly upon betterments
The rules to be followed in the uayment
OF the Cuban troops have been published
The article on arms and equipment is as
follows:
Arms and equipments received from Gu
pan soldiers will be taken under guard to
the nearest station occupied by the United
states troops, from which they will be
transported to Havana or Santiago, where
they VIII be kept in arsenal of souvenirs
and cared for by armorers selected by the
commander-in-chief of the Cuban army"
This question has been the principal cause
OF friction. The rules require the surrender
OF arms as condition precedent to pay
ment; yet the commissioners recognize that
there are some deserving privates without
arms, having sold them or lost them. Con-
sequently in exceptional cases the money
will be paid on proof that the applicant
actually saw service and made proper
disposition of his weapons.
The commissioners of the Fifth Army
Corps will meet on Thursday to prepare
for paymeRt

INJUNCTIoNs AGAINST LABOR.
President DonneIIy Before the Indus
trial CommissiOn

The testimony before the industrial com
mission was continued yesterday afternoon
and Mr.. Samuel B. Donnelly, president of
the international Typographical Union,
concluded his Statements HIS union had
for several years taken stand in favor
of the government ownership and control
of the telegraph
Mr.. Donnelly said the results of iniunc-
ton cases had been against the union In
Erie county, n. Y, the members of the
Typographical Union had been enioined
against speaking discussing with each
other or any one else any question affect
ing newspaper there, and that Injunction
was still in force though it had been ap-
pealed to higher court. He said the in
junction had alarmed members of unions
because of a fear that they might be i'm
prisoned without hearing. 1t acted as an
intimidation to organized labor.
1t is creating he said, among the
unions feeling that no American citizen
likes to see engendered.'
He was opposed to combinations of CAPT.
tai as they were driving industrial life
from the small towns, and he said it would
be found that much labor-saving machinery
Is now monopolized, and while in the hands
of certain ones it is not possible for others
to purchase 1t.
Mr.. Donnelly declared that trade organi-
cations should be encouraged, and if they
al e ilul ldHlptIeu III UnelT WOTR lney would
eventually solve all the industrial problems
They should be encouraged and not looked
upon as dangerous. They were not likely
to go teo far and could be trusted.
Unfair Treatment of Labor
Mr.. James Duncan of Baltimore, Md,
general Observation-Disclosures of the Granite
Cutters National Union and a member of
the executive committee, and second vice
president of tine American Federation of
Labor, was the second witness before the
commission.
He recounted at length the facts concern
ing the great lockout of granite cutters of
1892 in New England.
Mr.. Duncan said that state arbitration
had not been satisfactory as a rule be-
cause the disposition of arbitration boards
was to reduce wages where they were
higher than in other places. He COM
Psained bitterly of what he called 1.-The ac-
cursed padrone system" He said that in
New York the law required the payment
OF "a per day to granite cutters for public
work, but that the padrones furnished men
upon an agreement that they should re-
turn ST OF the amount received at the end
Of the week, thus evading the law and re-
ducing the wage to So per day. He also
complained that the customs officials re-
fused to enforce the anti-contract law as
vigorously as they should and In this con-
nection criticised the executive action of
President Harrison in reducing the fine of
the contractors on the Texas state capitol
from $S6 GOO to 31e,O0Q

Herarchy's Power Described as
Danger Sign to Civilization.
JOSEPH SMITH, THE AUTHOR

The original ''Eook Of Mormon" The
Brief History Of the Church were the
principal subjects of al int aresting and an
alytical paper by Dr.. p. Il. Pierce of this
city which he read last night before the
Anthropologicai Society.
DIR. Pierce said that the Book of Nor
mon" is not in itself immoral.
There is no poygamy in it," he contin-
ued ON the contrary. il is expressly pro-
hibited. The Mormons have been slanderei
and traduced, unjustly and without war
rant, for an immoral Bible Whatever
their practices may be under their doctrine
of a new revelation, however, which
springs directly from their invention of the
Book of Mormon itself, there is nothing
immoral i'll the book 1t is. on the contrary,
only grOtesque. 1t is a melange of pla-
giarisms from the Old and New Tesla
mentS, without order or regularity, easily
traced. and intermingled with watery paro-
dies of nothing in particular, signfying
nothing. But in this monstrosity, bora Of
deceit and bred in falsehool. obliged to de-
lend itself and its origin with inventions
claiming miraculous interpretations of di-
vine power its adherents have discovered

world. a hierarchy of subtle brains, equip

This is the menace to the world from Nor
