that city to reduce the amount of
''booze" which is being consumed
by the citizens of that place. Ellis
Garten ventures the opinion that
Cimarronites consume more s'fire-
water" than the citizens ofany other
city in this part of the state. Of
course he don't know that Meade
has a brigade who try to down the
miserable stuff and stop the traffic,

ufacture it. We are thankful that

NAY SHUT OUT AMERICAN MEATS
GERMAN INSPECTION LAW NOT YET De
CREED, But THERE IS MUCH APPRE-
HENSION OVER IT.

Berlin, Dec. ia representative Of the For
eign Office says that the law requiring the in
spection of foreign meat at German ports OF
entry has neither been decreed nor is in force,
nor has the date of its PRONUNCIATION been de-
termined
The attention Of the Foreign Office was called
10 statements in German newspapers that this
law would go into force on January T. 1907
Such statements, said the representative Of the
Foreign Office. although they had been made
both in Germany and the United States, were
incorrect. He intimated that this law might be
put into operation some time in 1902, and said
the government Of the United States would be
Informed Immediately when 4 definite deter
nination reached.
Judging by the cable messages received here
through diplomatic channels the meat export
ers Of the United States are much concerned
over the new regulations which Will exclude
packages weighing less than eight pounds, and
think that if these regulations are harshly ad-
rninistered they will constitute embargo on
all pork imports.
The agents Of American packers at Hamburg
think the suspension OF microscopical meat in
spections in the United States March 1, TO
be a great mistake, and that II is possibly due
to uiSapprehenS1On OF Germany s intention un-
der the new law.
The Central Bureau for the Preparation Of
Commercial Treaties issued a statement today.
in which il said that the discontinuanCe in the
United States Of government meat eXamlna-
tions would necessarily stop the import of Amer
lean meat into Germany and other Continental
countries. This statement calls attention 70 the
agreement Of 1891. according TO the terms OF
which the United States expressly agrees 10
issue certificates TO accompany all meats after
they are inspected.
Germany's rigorous exclusion Of foreign hogs
has raised the price of fresh pork by several
cents over the price Of 1900 The "Allgemelne
FIeischer Zeitung' has published statistics from
forty-three of the principal municipal slaughter
houses of Germany, showing that 233llO hogs
were slaughtered in November, 1901, as against
315 3S1 slaughtered in November. 1900 The
paper also says the animals killed this year are
OF inferior quality.

Upton TELLS KING OF PLANS.
PROBABILITY OF ANOTHER CHALLENGE
FOR THE CUP

London, Dec. 19.-Str Thomas Upton, in the
long interview which he had with King Edward
yesterday, at which the Americas Cup races
were discussed. unfolded his plans for the future.
His majesty exhibited the keenest interest IN
them and at times offered suggestions. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Il would be hard to
get boat to beat the Americans, TO which Sir
Thomas replied that he was al least confident
he could secure a yacht a good deal better than
Shamrock II. The King appeared TO be salts
fed, and heartily wished him success.
Sir Thomas also conveyed to King Edward
recapituIation of President Roosevelt's friendly
comments on the King and England, which
formed the gist of a conversation between Sir
Thomas and Mr.. Roosevelt while the former
was in the United States. The King evi-
dently much pleased In turn he told Sir Thomas
how greatly he admired President Roosevelt's s
personality, which, unfortunately, he only knew
by hearsay.
The King takes great interest in the prepara-
tions for building another challenger for the
Cup which are believed to be already on foot.
Captain Sycamore, in interview, said he
Thomas Upton, and he had great hopes that
G Shamrock III would result therefrom.
It is learned that King Edward has taken
particular interest in W. C. Jameson's alleged
shortcomings during the Cup races 1t IS notice
able IN this connection that his majesty has not
seen Mr.. Jameson since the latter's return to
England, and it Is said by those who are in a
position to know that he is not likely TO do so
