HAS NO EFFECT ON PRICES
GERMAN MEAT BILL DISREGARDEID
BY PACKERS.
Exports to That Country Not Sufficient
to Affect the General
Market.

CHICAGO. May 26.-Concerning Ger
nany's antagoristic legislation against
American live stock and meats NJ. f.
Horine statistician for the Chicago stock
yards. said today:
so far as the general live stock markets
of the United States are concerned, Ger
many's action cuts no figure. Her trade
in animals and meats from this country is
comparatively insignificant, and neither
German prices nor German legislation has
any appreciable influence market values
here. On the very day when the proh!bi-
tive measure was passed by the reichstag
the prices for all kinds of live stock rose
on the Chicago market, and neither buyers
nor sellers paid any attention to It. The
prices of live stock are governed solely by
the law of demand and supply. and the de-
mand from Germany has never been suf-
ficient factor In the market to affect quo
tations in the least.
During the five years 1894 to 1898, inclu-
sive, the exports of meats and meat ami
mails from the United States to Germany
averaged only IS per cent of the total ex-
pOrta tons of those commodities.
THE total value of such exports to Ger
many during the five years named was
only SO. 10000. whereas during the same
period our exports of meats ana meat ami
in value, in comparison with which the
German figures appear very small. In 1881
Germany placed embargo on American
pork. ostensibly as precaution against
disease, but in reality as a prOtectionist
measure. This led to a protracted CORE
spandercc between the two governments.
But nothing was accomplished until Con
gress passed a law providing a system Of
inspection for our meats intended for eX-
port and comforting the President power
to exclude foreign products from our mar
kcts in case the country sending them con-
tinued unjust Determinations against any
product of the United States. This placed
the Cnited States in position effectively
to urge the removal Of Determinations
against meats. The result was that in
1891 Germany raised the embargo against
American meats Denmark, Italy, Austria
and France were induced to take similar
action. In 1874 Germany prohibited the i'm
portation of American beef cattle and fresh
beef some alleged cases of Texas fever
having been discovered in certain cargoes
Of cattle shipped to Hamburg. This led to
more correspondence between the two gov
ernrnents, the United States protesting
against the total exclusion of its cattle not
necessary for sanitary purposes. In 1897
or 1888 action taken by the German
authorities prohibiting the Importation of
fruits from the United States
THE present legislation of the German
government has as little excuse in reality
as had the last named action, and in
neither case existed the slightest justifica-
ton. Both were intended TO be prohbitive
as protection is the measure

EXPENSES IN PORTO RICO.
Secretary Root Sends to Congress q
Report From Gen. Davis.

Report From Gen. Davis.
Secretary Root sent to the Senate today.
in response to inquiry, report from Gen.
Davis, governor general of Porto Rico. re-
lating to expenses of army officials in Porto
Rico. According to the report there has
been but small expenditure for quarters.
furniture, carriages etc, and these only
such as We're absolutely necessary.
Gen. Davis says no rental has been paid
for any building as officers quarters ex-
cept for such officers as could not be- ac-
commodated with public quarters, and he
says that in those cases the rental was
limited to the allowances made by law.
He adds that modern plumbing has been
placed in some of the buildings occupied
and other necessary repairs made, but that
there has been no decoration except plain
painting or kalSomning.
The expenditures for horses etc, have
been no more lavish than it would have
been in the United States, but the general
says he is unable to give the figures The
aggregate value of all new equipments in
the way of conveyances does not, he says,
exceed 5000 The officers in Porto Rico have
furnished their own servants and no pay
ments on their account has been made
from the public funds.
The governor general reports that when
Gen. Brooke took possession of the execu-
tive residence he paid S2,SO9 for the furnt-
ture in the building, and that since that
time 81 SS5 has been expended for the care
and maintenance of the building. He says
that sum has been paid from any public
fund for officers supplies. An extra SAL
airy was allowed only in one instance, that
of Assistant Surgeon Croft, who was de-
tailed as a member of the board of educa-
ton and also of the board of health. AS
assistant surgeon he was paid $1,SOO per
wear and 500 per month additional for
other services from the insular fund. This
arrangement has, however, been terminated
and DR.. Croft is now receiving $1,000 year
from the insular government as acting
commissioner Of education.

Proposition to Build Voted Down IN,
the Convention,

MILWAUKEE. Wis, May 26-The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has
decided not to build or buy an office build
ing for the general offices of the organiza-
tiun.
Several reasons led to this result. 1t had
been argued that If the organization were
to erect such structure IL would have to
become Incorporated and thereby be liable
to salts for damages in of strikes but
the underlying cause of the adverse deci-
sion was the fact that the purchase or
erection of Il building would mean the
permanent establishment of the general
offices of the brotherhood at Cleveland the
proposed location of the building.

PORTO RICO

COuntrit s are Concern

NEW YORK, JUNE t4-Judge william
X Townsend in the United States dis.
trict court Of the southern district, today
handed down an opinion in the case OF
John II. Goetz q Co. versus the United
tates, i'm which he declared the treaty of
Paris valid and that the status Of the
people OF Porto Rico is that of inhabi-
tant Of a foreign country as regards the
constitution of the United States and
within the meaning of the tariff acts.
Judge Townsend held that Porto Rico is
part of the United States so far as others
countries are concerned, but 50 far as the
constitution Of this country is concerned,
is a foreign country and that the United
States can govern it without subjecting it
to the burden of national taxation ana
that the status of the inhabitants will re-
main unchanged until congress shall de-
termine it,
The decision of Judge Townsend aft rms
the decision of the board of general ap-
praisers assessing a duty of thirty-fye
cent per paound on 100 bales of leaf or
filler tobacco.
The importers protested, claim ng that
the merchandise was not subject to duty,
! because Porto Rico was not a foreign
country, and because, therefore the i'm
position of duties on goods brought fr m
a place wi hin the territory of the Unit
ed States into a port of the United
States is not lawful and valid under the
con titutiOn.
