ABOUT MEATS.

The German Reichstag has re-
iected the bill to modify the law
excluding American meat from
German ports. This law was en-
acted on the pretence that Ameri-
can meat was unhealthy and the
American law did not require in
spection of imports. Since the
American law requiring such in
spection has been enacted and the
right of additional German inspec-
ton is recognized, the United States
has sought the repeal or modihca-
ton of the discrimination against
American meat. The discussion
and result on the question in the
Reichstag develop that the real
advocates of the measure are Agra
rians (farmers) and their purpose
is to exclude competition that they
may have monopoly of Germany's
meat market. But the result is
likely to react in way that has
aroused the German manufacturers,
merchants and steamship lines. The
United States Government is con-
sidering means of retaliation, and it
is reported will exclude from Amer
lean ports German toys and beet
sugar. Should this be done the
loss to Germany will be serious,
since her beet sugar trade with this
country is $50, 900, 900 annually, on
which the German Government col
lects So, 900, 900 import tax, and
the loss may be permanent, as such
action would stimulate the produc-
ton of beet sugar in this country,
the deficit in the meantime being
sought in Java and other Pacific
islands. 1t is probable that this
will cause Germany to open her
ports to American meat, just as the
threatened exclusion of French
wines forced France to do a few
years ago.

1t must have been disagreeable
surprise to the Orange Royalists at
Belfast and other places in North
Ireland to have their periodical
pastime of rioting and mobbing in
terrupted by the military, who did
not hesitate to charge the Roy
alists' with fixed bayonets, arrest
and lock up the ringleaders, who
will have to stand trial before the
courts. Things have changed in
Ireland, when the military are en-
ployed in suppressing lawlessness
and enforcing law and order instead
OF ejecting and abusing helpless
tenants and overawing the people.
Besides, the changed condition has
revealed to the Government and
world who are the real lawless ele-
ment in Ireland, for outside the
districts where the ''Royalists"

Sir Charles Upper, formerly
Canadian Commissioner, charges
the United States with purposely
delaying settlement of Alaskan
boundary question for nercenary
reasons--the profits derived by
Americans from mining and trad
ing in the disputed territory. He
advises the building of a British
railway from Kitimata to Dawson,
and the passage of law forbidding
any but British subjects from min
ing and trading in the Yukon
country. This would bring mat
tiers to an issue, and your Uncle

The report, via London, of an
alliance of South American repub-
lies against the United States proves
to be fabrication, but then Eng

motive in England originating such

only about $1,000. In making the de-
cision the court held that in view of the
fact that the estate had passed directly
to John A. Davis the property was not
liable for the amount named in the re-
port of the appraiser. On the other hand
the attorney general maintains that the
estate did not pass into the possession
of Davis, but by an agreement entered
into among the heirs in 1896 was dis
tributed among them and is therefore
liable for the full amount of the tax. 1t

I hate him. for he is a Christian.
He hates our sacred nation, and he rails

On me, my bargains, and my well won

apprenticeship TO the machinist's trade
in the Taunton locomotive works, and
on leaving there came TO this city TO
work in the Franklin foundry. The
trade OF machinist, however, did not
satisfy him, and he gave IL up to be-

TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Brakeman Chase Killed on ConscIi-
dated Road Near DodgeviIIe.
Employed Only -Four Weeks and Was Not
Familiar With the Bridges.

Frank Chase, a brakeman on the Con-
solidated railroad, was instantly killed
between East Junction and Dodgeville
yesterday afternoon, and strange to
say, the members OF the crew on
the train on which Chase worked did
not miss him until the trains arrival at
Boston. as the Harlem river freight, on
which he worked, is an express train
running directly from New York to
Boston.
Chase. who had only been on the road
for four weeks. had not famliarzed
himself with all the bridges and il is
supposed his lack of knowledge OF the
lowness of the bridge at Dodgeville was
in part the cause of the distressing IA
talty. Ii Is presumed that Chase did
not calculate correctly the distance be-
tween the top OF the car on which he
was riding and the floor beams, and as
the train sped on, his head came in
contact with the base OF the structure.
knocking him from the car roof, be-
tween the cars, upon the rails, where
the wheels passed over his body, tear
ing IL apart.
The body, which was frightfully
mangled. was discovered by Napoleon
Spooner, n section track walker who
remained by the body until IL was
taken 10 Hebronville station on a pas
senger train from Boston. where it was
viewed by Medical Examiner Holden
OF Attleboro. The home OF the dead
man is not known. but IL is probable
that Chase boarded in New London as
his runs began and ended in that city
1t could not be ascertained last night
whether the deceased left a family.
