upon American cattle by the Senate of
Hamburg had been extended to tha
length of n exclusion of American rat

department official, to-day. That Test

many could adopt for enforcing retalia

against German interest in tha angar

Tha German Ambassador, however,

Lad no poll Ural motive behind iu Gov
ernment olllclala are obliged to take thia
view of tha caae, tinea any other view
might aeem a reflection upon tha Am
baaaador. Secretary Morton, who baa
jiittt returned from a trip abroad, had a
consultation with Secretary Greahain
about the matter to-day, but tha atrin-

tliat the eiportation of Texaa fever into
Germany by American rattle waa alto
gether Improbable, if not iinpnaRihle, er
cording to the opinion of tha eiperta of
tha department, who have devoted much
time to investigating the diaraae during
the paat year, and said ha waa confident
tha supposed discovery of Texaa fever

When the dispatch from Berlin waa
shown tha Secretary of Agriculture be
expressed surprise. Exclusion of dressed
meats he waa at a lose to nnderatand,
Waui they are all inspected by compe

are thipiel. Texas fever, moreover, ran
only be carried by tiva cattle. Tha live

also inspected at tha porta of shipment
to see tliat they are not diseased.
Secretary Morton said be bail no doubt
that the (terman olllciala intended to art
in the interests of tha public health in
excluding American rattle, aa tha aani
tary regulations of that country are un
naually stringent upon all such matter.
The Secretary think that tha dam

a our export of meat to Germany are
comparatively light. From his denerva

is convinced the extMirtation of live cat

meat In cola storage, lie thinks, will
greatly Increase the American business.

fact that they may ba called upon very
aoon to make a ruling in tba matter as
affecting exportation from thia country

Tha proposed consignment of lead to Yo

which ba austain tha opinion of tha
Treasury Department, holding that the
State baa no authority under tha law to
enter the government bonded ware
house for the purpose of aeixlng whisky
declared by tha State law to ba subject
to confiscation. In tha course of hi
opinion b aay:
" Tha legal Utua of distilled liquor
In a bonded warehouse of tba United
Slates and under the control of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue ia definitely
stated and settled by Section 034. of the
Revised Statute of tha United States,
which declare that 'all property taken
or detained by any officer or other per
son under authority, or any revenue law
of the United State shall La irreplevi
able, and shall ba deemed to be in the
custody of tha law and subject to the
orders and decreee of (ha courts of tha
United Mates having Jurisdiction there
of.' It cannot ba held aa haa been sug
gested, and perhap might well be, that,
since the tariff act of 1M04, the taxeedue
on distilled liquor In a United State
lnded warehouse can ba paid only by
the distiller. Whether that be so or not
a tender of such taxea by tha Sheriff 1
necessarily ineffectual aa against the
statute above quoted, since it is beyond
the power of an Internal Revenue Col
lector to accept it, and thus nullify the
provisions and defeat the policy of a
statute which aims to absolutely exempt
such liquors from tha operation of the
process of a State court. Such tender,
which for the reason stated the Collector
ia Incompetent to accept, must be also
Ineffectual because no officer of South
Carolina haa been given tha right or
power to make it, the constitution of
South Carolina not authorizing any such
tender nor providing any fund which
can be used for that purpose."

If current reports ara true, there Is a

may have a very unpleasaut quarter of

spondents before the next session of

reached here, vouched for by authority
that would seem to Ins credible, that one
of the incidents of the sugar trust cam
paign In Washington last winter waa the
raising of a purse by the sugar trust peo
ple to be given to this enterprising corre
spondent to e dieliibuted in Washing
ton among the presa people where It
"would do lha most goo. I" In the opin
ion of those who furnished the mtuiey,
ami that place wa the pocket of those
representative of the press of the coun
try here who, with or without right,
were supposed to have Influence in Con
gress and in the makingof nublicopinion
throughout the country. There are in
timation even that the men who fur
nished the money did so nmler the im
pression it waa to be distributed pro rata
among the representative ol the press
in Washington in the expectation that
tha comment npon the nitrations of
the sugar trust would lie either less se
vere or that they would ba altogether
withheld. It is, of course, assumed that
the distributor ol thl fund waa to re
ceive hi rommirion. There are intima
tion even that a list wua furnished ol
the name' ol correspondent to whom
this fund wa to ba distributed, and that
the expectation aa that it would be ex
pended in part in dinner, In part in
way that would lie appreciated br those
foral.om it a a intruded. It there is
anything In this story, it is safe to say
that not $1 of this alleged fund ever
paused to the representative correspond
ents for whom it is represented that ft
aas intended. The man alio undertook
to disburse this fund did so with the
lull knowledge that it would not be safe
lor him to approach any ol the gentle
men whose names may have appeared
on this pretended list lor any such pur
pose whatever. He not only is not on
relation ol confidence with them, but
he never calls upon any ol them when
in Washington. L'fforts am being made
to ascertain the truth ol this report, and
il it shall lie found true, the correspond
ent in question a ill hear mora later,
possibly iu the courts and probably be
lora a committee of Investigation.

it would rival the dava ot Mil in Califor

The immediate cause of ChawTiior

Tha individual States, they said, tliouid

equally embarrassed when the qinatua
ol financial reforms were broached. Th,
envoys made several demands forclmii.i-a
in tha financial relations ot the Males
to the Empire, but the Chancellor aas
manifestly out of sympathy with all of
them.
Caprivi is believed to have been rinded
between the Emperor and the Federal
envoys, not going far enough to suit the
former and going too far to suit the lat
ter. The ditlicuilie of hi position er
increased, moreover, by the intrigm of
Miquel and hulenblirg, who for inois
than a year have spared no effort to iis
credit his politics and diminish Ins in
fluence with tha crown. One of the
Chancellor's last acta before offcrum bia
resignation was to notify the lu-iih
Bank that the decree prohibiting tl
vancea on Prussian stocks had be--n r in
celled as no longer nccessury on either
economic or political grounds. The Km
peror had arranged to leuve Potmlaiil to
day to bunt iu tha nvighlsirhuoil ol
Blankenburg, but he gave up the trip in
view of tha disruption of his Cabinet.
The Cologne Guette says that th
Chancellor tendered his resignation to
Emperor William Tuesday, but that it
was only accepted at an audience give n
by his Majesty to Caprivi to-day. The
Emperor endeavored to indme Caprivi
to withdraw his resignation, htil the
Chancellor was obdurate and refused to
do so. William is credited with hoi dm
Ibe opinion that the separation of ids
Chancellorshipand the Kusrian Premier
ship haa been a failure, and that it is
imperative to reunite them. Among the
many reports as to the caucoi the rr.-
ia one that Caprivi displrased tin llm
Peror by expressing disapproval of Ir.i
