DO NOT CARE FOR GERMANY.
Live Stock and Meat Market in the
United States Totally Unaffected
by That country's Actions.

CHICAGO. May 2s.-Concerning Ger
many's antagonistio legislation against
American livestock and meats. NJ. f.
HORNE. the statlsticlaa for the Chicago
stock yards. said toady:
so far as the general livestock mar
kets OF the United States are con-
cerned, Germany's action cuts no fig
ure. Her trade In animals and meats
from this country is comparatively in
significant, and neither German prices
nor German legislation has any appre-
ciable influence on market values
here.
"on the very day when the prohibit
i've measure was passed by the reichs-
tag the prices for all kinds OF livestock
rose on the Chicago market, and nel-
ther buyers nor sellers paid any atten-
tion to Germany's action. The prices
Of livestock are governed solely by the
law Of demand and supply, and the de-
mani from Germany has never been a
sufficient factor in the market to affect
quotations in the least.
During the Ave years, 1894 to 1895
inclusive. the exports OF meats and ami
mails from the United States to Ger
many have averaged only two and
eight-tenths per cent Of the total ex-
portations Of those commodities"

parison OF the artistic effect Of the
United States building with that OF its
neighbors Is undoubtedly unlavorable
to the former while the gener-
al appearance OF the exterior
is matter Of architectural
taste, the nudity Of It's interior
elIcits the harshest criticism. Sell

from visiting Americans and the build

uncompIlmentary niclxnames. Many Of

present condition OF the pavilion win

a number Of unfortunate cases Of
suffering are coming under the notice Of
American officials in Paris. Many
bright energetic young Americans,
having just means enough to trans
port them here, and being anxious 10
see the exposition. came with the
idea Of finding some small occupation
which would provide them with the
means Of existence during their stay;
Some also hoped to strike occupations
which they might develop remunera-
lively.
There is no false pride about them;
and they are willing to accept even
menial employment. such as selling
newspapers. backing boots and hawk
ing exposition tickets. They have,
however met with unexpected obsta-
cles. against which all their pluck and
vim are unavailing.
Instead Of the freedom OF labor
which obtains in America, and which
insures success to the willing. intelll-
gent worker. they ind every outlet
hedged about with red tape regulations.
or prejudice against employment Of
foreigners. Newspaper stands are ac-
corded only to pensioners, and license
for boot backing is practically unob-
tainable, owing to the interminable
period occupied by preliminaries TO APP
plication. Some boys attempt to gain
a pittance by selling exhibition tickets
at profit of two cents each, but
their efforts were stifled by the inter-
ference of their French competitors,
who are able to draw all the intending
purchasers, except Americans and Eng
lishmen. by prcclaiming Americans as
foreigners.
While this antipathy holds against
those who are trying to compete ia
the French labor market. the pleasure
seeking American visitors have no
reason to complain of their welcome.
The feeling which now is so bitter
against Englishmen, with whom Ameri.
cans are so often confounded. owing
to their language. does not exist
toward the latter when their nation-
ality is established. This fact is now
becoming recognized among Americans.
many Of whom have adopted the hab-
it of wearing miniature enamelled stars
and stripes as a distinctive emblem.

The trouble was precipltated by Can

who has. from time to time, created
much trouble and litigation by his ef-
forts to seize land along the shore Of
Lake Michigan. The land which he
has FOR some time claimed to be the
District of Lake Michigan" consists OF
made land on the shores OF Lincoln
Park, part Of It including one Of the
main park boulevards. The courts have
decided against the squatter again
and again, but he has been per-
sistent in his efforts to grab the prop
erty. He claims that made land along
the Illinois shore does not belnoe to
the state Of nlionis. but is, instead
public domain, free to whoever eet-
ties upon It.

CHICAGO. May 2s.-The question Of
admission OF members OF secret So

Presbyterian church. precipitated the
warncst discussion which has marked
the present general assembly.
The matter came up in the report OF

which relates to secret societies. While
the report recommended that the ar
ticle which declares the opposition Of

should be made to the Presbyteries OF
the church. asking their opinion as to
allowing members OF secret societies to
become church members. If they should
consent to receive from their pastors
instructions as to the attitude Of the
church toward their societies.

moved tha; the report should be re-
ferred to a special committee Of three,
