WILL NOT BAR AMERICAN MEAT.
Ger1nany's Inspection Laws Are Now
in Full Force

BERLIN, April 2.-The last provisions of
the meat inspection law of June 3, 1900,
went into effect quietly yesterday at the
ports and throughout the empire. This most
far-reachirg and sumptuary measure was
put in operation piecemeal. by occasional
DEGREES, because of the ministry of the in
terror having to create the inspection ma
chinery.
Section twelve, referring to canned meats
ard sausages, which became effective Sep
tember 1. 1901, further reduced American
imports in that line, but poracic cured beef
had been coming in until March, though of
late somewhat less than POO tons per month
roughly valued at $4,000. were imported
from America. The exporters will endeavor
to cure beef without borax and thus COM
ply with the German law, which as it now
appears by no means destroys the Ameri-
can meat trade here and it is not improba-
BILE that the total American meat imports
this year will equal those of 1901 when the
total valuation was about $6,OO0,OO0. Owing
to the high prices and insufficient home sup
plies more than three-quarters of the i'm
ports of American meats are preserved.

MENACE TO EUROPE.
italian Senator So Regards United
States and Russia.

ROME, April 2.--Senator Villari, in an
address delivered today before the king
and queen at the opening of the fnterna-
tional historical congress, made several al
lusions to the United States. He said
Europe was shut in between two great pow
erful countries, Russia on the east and the
United States on the west The latter from
a population Of &c, 900, 600 had risen to SO,-
100000, and no one knew what number it's
population eventually would reach. The
United States also had taken the lead in
all the works of progress and civilization
These two forces. acting on Europe, were
likely to render necessary a union of the
different European countries which may
completely change the geographical situa-
ton to the universal advantage of Europe
The senator added that he foresaw and
predicted the twentieth century will per-
haps see the solution of many problems.
1.-The mixing of the white and black
races" he continued brought about the
war of secession in the United States and
the liberation of the negroes from slavery,
but this had not harmonized or amalga-
mated the two races, which hate each
other now perhaps more than ever before
THE United States probably will be the
first to give US an indication how to deal
with such grave and important questions
which Europe must meet throughout the
two immense continents of Africa and
Asia"

SECRETARY SPENCER EDDY HERE
Was Largely instrumental in Obtain
ing Miss Stones Release.

Mr.. Spencer Eddy, secretary of the United
States legation at Constantinople, has ar
rived in Washington on leave from his
post, and today paid his respects to Secra-
tary Hay and Assistant Secretary Loomis.
Mr.. Eddy was one of the foremost of our
officials in the effort to succor Miss Stone,
and it was in large part due to his energy
that she was ransomed. The money paid
to the captors however, has gone toward
supplying firearms and ammunition to the
Macedonians, who are in revolution against
the Turkish government. and that is one
reason for the present activity in Turkey.
The leading spirit Of the rebels is Boris
Saranoff, who was at one time accused of
killing Stambolouff, the Bulgarian premier,
who excited the enmity of the Macedonian
committee by his efforts to suppress their
activities.
The American claims remaining against
the Turkish government are said to be
technical in large part, and at any rate,
they are not financial in their nature. All
of the latter class of such claims have
been settled IN full by the Turkish govern
ment. What Is now desired is fuller
measure of recognition of American edu-
cational, religious and charitable institu-
tions in Turkey, and this is in fair way
to be gained.

the work of moving the machinery and
