United States. Secretary Morton says that the landed proprietors in Germany are the protectionists who teach McKinleyism in “High Dutch.” They desire, he says, to exclude all competition which may arise from the fertile lands of the United States. In proof of his position the secretary gives out the following ex- 1 tract from the morning edition of Dec. 7, 18U4, No. oia, of the Kim/, i Keue I Preussiche) Zeituug, published in Berlin, which is the acknowleged leading organ of the agararian interests: “The business firms of Hamburg, interested in the importation of American cattle are doing everything in their power to remove the prohibition which was enforced on account of the danger ! of diseases. ‘Experts’ went to England ' for the purpose of obtaining iuforma- | tiou as to the experience derived there from the importation of cattle and—to [ the surprise of no one—returned home | with ‘the most favorable’ news. EuI glishmen who look for ‘disease’ every- i I where, and for this reason have made I the German business life a burden for 1 years, state that they arc of the opinion I that ‘Texas fever’ has no dangerous | character and is not contagious at all. , It is hoped that the Hamburg gentle[i men will be mistaken if they are of the ■> opinion that the optimism which, from | their standpoint, is easily explained, j will be shared by respotisiple authori1 ties. The Hanseatic business was a warned, but it formed the idea several | months ago of replacing the exportation ^ of human beings (emigrants) with the < importation of cattle. The Conservative and Agrariau press had already, at that time, called attention to the con- * rations against it on account of the danger of infections; but, us is always I the case, no impression was made. The I new course, Capri vi’s, had hampered I “business”—in so far as it was not an ■ agricultural character—to such an ex■t ‘lit that the business people hud the Idea that they might do anything. Therefore the cattle steamers were built and the ball began to roll. That this (rohibitiou, coming sooner than anybody could have anticipated, is disagreeably felt, we readily believe, but we me all the same convinced that the Ham^burg business interests will bear this loss easier than the German agricultural interests could bear the importation of dangerous and contagions diseases, and we, therefore, sincerely hope, as already Stated, that the English ‘travelers’ experiences’ of the Hamburg ‘export’ will be shelved with the records of ‘valuable material’ in Berlin and elsewhere.”

Smallpox In WAHliington.

Washington, Jan. 1.—There were iwo deaths and one new smallpox case yesterday. Joseph Brannon and Willaim Green, colored men, were the victims of the epidemic. Both were bnried hi the pottersfleld. The new case is that of Villie Watson, an 11-year-old colored wiio was found sufioring from an Stack of varioloid and promptly taken

What Senator L«*xow Say*.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 1.—Senator Lexow was shown the letter of Dr. Parkhurst, as sent by the Associated Press, last night. He glanced through it and informed himself of its general character. Then he said: “1 shall have to read it carefully, and when I have read it I shall make an answer to it. I am not snrprist d at its tone of condemnation. I expected it in fact. It is a sort of case of Othello's occupation gone. Other men are getting credit for the work of exposure. Dr. Parkhurst has found that what he began superficially has been gone into very deeply and the work has outgrown him. In the law we would call it professional jealous}'. If the committee’s work of reforming goes on, Dr. Parkhurst will have nothing to do but preach the gospel. As to his strictures upon the committee’s attitude toward Superintendent Byrnes, I will answer that when I have read this letter through.
