No Country in World SO Careful in
Its Inspection Of Meats as

ITS INSPECTORS TRAINED MEN
Unfit Meat More Rigidly and ENtcn-
siycly Condemned Here Than In
Any other Land.

Washington. oct. 21.-"More meat Is
condemned as unit for human food in
the United States than in any other
country The fact may account, in "a
oontributory way. for the present high
prices Of meats"
This statement was made today by %
responsible official OF the department
OF agriculture In connection with the
charges made az the convention of The
American Public Health association.
nov IN session az Richmond. Va. Tho
charges were voiced by Mrs. Caroline
Bartlett Crane Of Kalamazoo, Mich.
the allegations being that the inspectors
Of the bureau OF animal industry iu
many instances were Incompetent and
careless
As matter OF fact" continued tho
department officials. mo country in the
world Is SO careful as the United Statcs
IN the examination Of meats intended
TO be used as food
Approximately there are 500 packing
houses iH the country, the output Of
which is inspected thoroughly by
trained veterinarians OF this depart
ment In addition we have three trav-
cling inspectors who direct the work
Of the packing house inspectors with a
view TO seeing that there is no careless
ness and no Sinking OF duty.
This rigid inspection has cost the
packers Of the country millions Of dol
lars, not only I'm the construction and
maintenance OF their plants In a per-
fectly sanitary condition. but also in
the cost OF animals which are COM
demned by reason of disease.
We know nothing here about Mrs.
Cranes charges but whatever thuy arc
and against wh0mever they may be di-
rected they win be investigated
thoroughly. for only by such thorough
inquiry are we able TO maintain the
high standard Of excellence OF Ameri-
can packing house products"

The fan Of the cabinet was regarded
as inevitable after the bitter speech Of
Minister of the Interior La Ciervera
IN the chamber OF deputies last night.
uuflng which he classed the Liberals
win the Republicans and Socialists
VINO were arrayed against the throne
To-day King Alfonso summoned Pre-
mier Moret, Senior Dato, former min
ister OF the interior, and other leaders
IN parliament. The impression con-
tinues that the Liberals win refuse to
assume power. preferring 90 leave tho
Conservatives to eXtrlcate themselves
from the present situation as best they
may.
The cabinet, which resigned today.
was formed Jan. 25, 1907, with the fol-
lowing ministers:
Premicr-Scnor Maura
Foreign Anairs--Senor Allendesala-
Ear
Justice-Marquis de Aiguoroa.
Finance-Senor Besada.
lnterior-Senor de la Cevera.
Warden, Lindres.
Marine-Senor Ferdandiz.
Agriculture Commerce and Public
Works-Sen0r Sanchez Guerre.
Education-Senor Rodriguez San
Pedro.
Preceding the formation Of this cabi-
net there had been FIVE Liberal min
listers in is months The religious
issues had been the rock on which
these ministries were wrecked and the
accession to power of Senior Maura-
who had before held the premiership,
was regarded as sweeping victory
for the Clericals and one likely to
arouse revolutionary spirit.
This proved 10 be the case, the oppo-
ston finally uniting against the gov
ernments conduct and furtherance OF
the war in Morocco
The stern measures taken TO put
down the recent anti-War demonstra-
tons in Spain tended TO inhame the OPP
position and the execution of Fcrrer fol-
lowed by popular demonstrations OF
disapproval brought matters 10 a crisis.
When parliament reopened the Lib
erals, Republicans and Socialists bitter
~ assailed the government but tho
cabinet showed a. deposition to hight
for its life There was violent scene
in the chamber OF deputies yesterday.
when the opposition, headed by Senior
Moret- Prendergast, the former premier.
renewed its attack upon the govern
ment
Minister Of the Interior La Ciervera.
however, decided that the ministry
would not resign under threats. II was
then believed that while Senior Moret
was determined to unhorse Premier
Maura the Liberals, as distinguished
from the Republicans and Socialists,
did not desire to assume power as un-
der the circumstances they would then
become responsible for the expenditures
involved in the war IN Morocco.

erte states that Senior Moret. the former
prime minister, has been asked 10 form
