OUR MEAT EXPORTS.
Figures Furnished by
Morton Differ From
Statistics.
SAYS HIS ARE CORRECT.
Records Are Kept of All Cer
tificates of the Inspec
tion of Pork.
BEEF CATTLE DROPPING OFF.
No Reason Why Retail Prices Should
Be so High in the Eastern
Markets.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21.—Secre
tary Morton was to-day shown the charge
in the "Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune of Friday, that he had said
the statistics of pork exported to Germany
and his figures do not correspond with the
official figures of the Bureau of Statistics
and shows a much greater aggregate than
is given by that bureau. Secretary Morton
said that the figures of the Department of
Agriculture are just as accurate as the Bu
reau of Statistics, and that concerning ex
ports of j'ork to countries. requiring certifi
cates of inspection, the inspectors of the
Bureau of Animal Industry have an op
portunity to obtain the exact figures,
which is not shared by any other depart
ment of the Government. Every package
of pork which goes to Germany or France
must be stamped by an inspector of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, who takes its
exact weight, and every shipment of pork
to those countries must be accompanied by
a certificate issued by an inspector showing
that the meats have been properly in
spected and giving the stamp number of
even- package. The inspector reports all
the certificates issued with the number of
packages, the weight and destination and
the consignees.
"I do not pretend to know," he added,
"how the figures of the Bureau of Statis
tics are made up, but as some of the in
spected pork is shipped to Germany by
way of Holland, Belgium and other coun
tries it is possible that the discr--;
arises from this pork being credited to
those countries instead of the country of
ultimate destination. The Department of
Agriculture not only has a complete list
of shipments, showing the shipper in this
country and the consignee, and covering
the entire amount of pork referred to in
the statistics given out, but it now appears
that the exports for March have been
larger than for any previous month.
'"The total exports of microscopically in
spected pork covered by the certificates is
sued during the month of March was
7,329,142 pounds, of which 5,527,644 pounds
was destined for Germany, as compared
with 5,229,355 pounds shipped to that coun
try during February and 4,6*32,284 during
January.
"The New York Tribune will find by ref
erence to a letter written by General W.
B. Franklin, Commissioner-General to the
l J aris Exposition October 16, 1559, that its
editor, Whitela*r Keid, stated 'that the
number of pork-raisers in France j
should not require the whole nation to pay
a higher price for so important an article j
of food as pork merely for their benefit.' " I
In regard to the beef question Dr. Sal
moD has reported to the Secretary that
there is an undoubted diminution of the
class of cattle from which the beef supply
is drawn. Taking the figures of the statis
tical division, which he believes to be ap
proximately correct, excluding dairy cows,
there were in 1892, 87,650,238 head of cattle
in the United States, 57ti to each 1000 of
population. In 1895 there were only 34,
--364,216 of such cattle, or 493 to each 1000 of
population. This shows a great diminu
tion in the beef cattle of the country and
also that the increased price of such cattle
in the stockyards is legitimate. Under
such circumstances, however, the market
should be strong and the cattle be readily
disposed of at advanced figures, instead of |
being weak and depressed, as is constantly
reported.
The price of beef in the Eastern cities has
gone higher than is justiiied by the price
of live cattle, and the reported break in the
market for cattle on account of alleged de
creased consumption has come in advance
of any lowering on beef. In each case the
effect has shown itself in advance of the
cause.
A letter ha? just been received at the de
partment from a prominent and perfectly
reliable gentleman in Central Illinois, who
states that the beef sold in his town is
shipped sometimes from Kansas City and
sometimes from Chicago.
The retail price of first quality meat, as
good as ever found in any city, is for loin j
and porterhouse steaks 15 cents, and for I
round and rib roast of the best quality \2}{
cents. Ah such moat can ho shipped from
Chicago to New York for less than three
quarters of a cent per pound, it is difficult
for the department to see why the con
sumer in the Eastern cities should now be
forced to pay double these prices.
QVARA STIMSG CA TTLE.
Kansas Stockmen Intercept a Band From
Infected Old Mexico.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 21.-A spe
cial to the Times from Eureka, Kans.,says:
Fresh excitement has been caused among
cattlemen here by the arrival of a carload
of cattle from San Simon, Ariz., which is
north of the quarantine line, but it is be
lieved that at least a part of them are from
Old Mexico and have been exposed to the
£plenitic fever.
Tht.- Greenwood Cattlemen's Association
held a meeting here to-day ana prevailed
upon Sheriff Smith to seize the cattle and
place them in temporary quarantine pend
ing the aftifin of the Livestock Sanitary
Comn. who were communicated
with. Chairman Johnson arrived this aft
ernoon. He found the town filled with
angry cattlemen. The breaking out of
Texas fever would bankrupt .Greenwood
County. The cattlemen threaten to use
force if it is necessary to prevent the cattle
being pastured in this vicinity. The Sani
tary Commissioners will decide the matter
to-morrow.
HE JiEFIEn THE COURT.
Sheriff Mullin of fender, Nebr., Released
by the Justice.
OMAHA, Nebr., April 21.— A special to
the Bee from Pender, Nebr., says : Sheriff
Mullinwas convicted by the Indian Justice
for assaulting the reservation police and
held in fIOO. Be refused to give it and de
fied the court, even refusing to promise to
appear before the Federal Grand Jury.
The court finally released him without for
mality to avoid further trouble.
It is Baid to-day that overtures were
made by Captain Beck through another
party last night, looking to a compromise
with the Flournoy company, but the
rumor lacks confirmation. It is generally
believed here that the rumor is true. Over
150 affidavit from leasers of the Flournoy
company will be present to-morrow. Every
citizen is deeply interested in the result of
the hearing.
Over twenty-five landleasers were yes
terday interviewed at the AVinnebago
agency, and they were generally down
hearted over the interference and delay
caused by the effort to eject the Flournoy
company, and many of them who depend
entirely "on this year's crop to keep them
and their families from absolute want next
winter could hardly suppress their emo
tions when talking of the matter. Many
of them blame Captain Beck, while many
have no opinion on the matter.
AIXAR ARRAIGNED.
His Bondsmen Say the Bank OffiHala
Jlroke Their I'romiae.
NEW YORK, N. V., April 21. — Samuel
¥.. Aymar, the defaulting clerk of the Shoe
and Leather National Bank, was arraigned
in the Tombs Police Court before Justice
Voorhis this morning and remanded to
police headquarters until Monday after
noon when he will again be arraigned in
court. Aymar was accompanied to court
by Lawyer Frank Angell, who was also
counsel for Samuel C. Seely, a brcther-in
law of Mr. Aymar, who also robbed the
same bank of a large sum of money. Mr.
Aymar was visibly excited when he was
arraigned.
None of the bank officials were in court,
but Secretary Thompson of the company
which was on the prisoner's bond while he
was a clerk in the bank, was present, but
took no part in the proceedings. Mr. An
gell said the bank officials had broken faith
with him.— He said that on last Monday
Aymar came to him ana told him he had
robbed the bank of $90,000 and was going
to Tinted States Commissioner Shields to
give himself up.
"I advised him not to do so, but that I
would go to the bank officials and tell them
about it. I saw President John M. Crane
and told him what Aymar had told me.
I also saw Vice-President Hiltner. They
assured me they would not cause the ar
rest of Aymar but would look into the
matter and would notify me before the ar
rest was made. Instead of doing this
President Crane immediately secured a
warrant and had Aymar arrested without
informing me. I suppose they thought
Aymar would run away and that the bond
would have to be forfeited."
When asked if he thought there was any
collusion between Aymar and his brother
in-law, Seely, Mr. Angell said:
"I am positive Seely did not know one
thing about the thefts of Aymar and when
he hears about it he will be as surprised as
anybody."
WAST JUST FREIGHT RATES.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Meets in Denver to Act.
DENVER, Colo., April 21.— W. G. \>a
| zey of Vermont, W. R. Morrison of IIII
! nois, W. A. F.issell of Chicago and H. B.
Holliday of Washington, members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, arrived
in this city to-day and with J. D. Yeomans,
i who had preceded them, will begin an im-
J portant session at the Federal courtroom
! to-morrow. Simultaneously came a host
I of railroad men from all parts of the region
I west of the Great Lakes, among them being
General Traffic Agent Stubbs of the South
ern Pacific Company, General Traffic Agent.
Monroe and General Solictor Kelly of the
Union Pacific and General Freight Agent
Crosby of the Burlington.
The principal cases to be heard are those
filed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, manufacturers of iron rails, etc., and
George J. Kindel, a Denver mattress
maker, in which the railroads are charged
with discriminating against Colorado man
ufacturers.
It is alleged in the complaints that the
same rate is charged on freight shipped
from New York to Denver as on that
shipped from New York to San Francisco.
It i» also charged that the railroads charge
as much for transporting Colorado-made
goods to the Pacific Coast as for similar
made goods from the far East, thereby de
priving Colorado manufacturers of cheap
raw materials and placing them in direct
competition with New York prices.
Mr. Btnbba, who is vice-president of the
Southern Pacific as well as general traffic
agent, claims that a decision favorable to
the complainants would mean a complete
overturning to every through rate to Cali
fornia points and would affect every trans
continental line.

ing a Woman's Clotkea.
BOSTON, Mass., April 21.—Ex-Cham
pion John L. Sullivan distinguished him
self as a life-saver this afternoon. Just
before 4 o'clock he heard a woman scream
in the rear of the house in which he was
stopping. He ran down the stairway and
saw there was a fire in the kitchen and
that Mrs. Margaret Donnell, the cook, was
in danger of being burned to death, her
clothing having been ignited by blazing
fat un the stove. He quickly wrapped a
big mat around the woman and succeeded
in extinguishing the fire. She was badly
burned, but the chances are favorable for
her recovery.
Sullivan's hands were burned in several
places and he was obliged to call on a doc
tor, but the wounds are not serious.
Mrs. Donnelly's burns proved fatal. She
died at the City Hospital at 12:15 this
morning.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1895.
AWAIT A DECISION.
Validity of Judgment in
Foreign Tribunals
Questioned.
IT MUST BE DETERMINED.
The Supreme Bench Expected
to Hand Down an Opinion
Before Recess.
MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE.
Arguments Have Been Heard and a
Conclusion Is Believed to Have
Been Reached.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21.-It is
generally believed the United States Su
preme Court will before the adjournment
of the present term render a decision in
the case involving the validity of foreign
judgments in courts of this country. Bar
ring the question of a rehearing in the in
come tax cases this is probably the most
important matter now before the court,
and the fact that notwithstanding the cases
were argued during the terms of 1893-94
and still are undecided it would appear to
indicate the members of the court have en
countered difficulty in dealing with them.
There are two of these cases, but the points
involved are so much alike that a decision
in one will in all probability De equal to
a decision in the other.
The first of the cases is that of Samuel J.
Ritchie vs. James W. McMullin, and it is
an appeal from the decision of the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict of Ohio affirming the judgment of a
Canadian court in McMullin's behalf
against Ritchie.
The second is that of Henry Hilton and
others vs. Gustav B. Guyot from the
United States Circuit Court for the South
ern District of New York affirming a deci
sion against Hilton & Libbey, successors
to A. T. Stewart & Co., for the siini of
$280,852. In the latter case Guyot appears
as the official liquidator of the affairs of
the firm of Charles Fortin & Co., glove
manufacturers of Paris.
It appears that in 1866 Stewart & Co. en
tered into an agreement with Fortin & Co.
to sell in this country all the gloves the
French firm could manufacture and to
divide the profits equally. In 1879 there
was a disagreement and the French firm
sued the New York house in the Tribunal
of Commerce of Paris and obtained a judg
ment. The case was appealed to the Paris
Court of Appeals, but the judgment was
affirmed. In the meantime Stewart & Co.
had closed the house which they had
hitherto maintained in Paris and sold
their property there. The Paris firm then
entered suit in the Federal Circuit Court
of New York and asked for the execution
of the decree of the French courts, main
taining the sufficiency of the judgments of
the foreign courts.
The Circuit Judge gave a judgment for
the full amount. Hilton & Libbey, as the
successors of Stewart <fe (Jo., then brought
the case to the Supreme Court of
the United States, where it was
twice argued for Guyot by Messrs.
William G. Choate and William D. Chip
man, and by Messrs. J. C. Carter and
Elihu Root for Hilton & Libbey. Enor
mous interests are involved in the de
cision. It is said judgments to the amount
of $16,000,000 have been rendered in the
Canadian courts alone against Afneri
can citizens, the validity of which depends
upon the decisions in these cases.
The lawyers agree there is scarcely any
doctrine of law which so far as regards
formal and exact statement is in a more
uncertain condition than that relating to
the force and effect of the judgments of the
courts rendered in one nation by the courts
of another. Many decisions have been
rendered in England, but they appear to
have left the question in an involved and
confused condition.
Messrs. Carter and Root laid down the
proposition in their argument on the Hil
ton case that the question of the conclu
siveness of a foreign judgment depends
upon the circumstances under which it was
rendered, and where it was not so con
clusive as to preclude inquiry into the
original merits of the controversy, when
the State is under its ordinary obligations
to the party demanding the inquiry, to
give him at least one full and fair oppor
tunity of having his cause adjudicated
upon its original merits. This oppor
tunity, they claim, was denied them in
this case.
It is understood a decision has been
reached by the court in the case, but it is
not known whether the opinion of the
court has been prepared or when it will be
handed down. It is not considered proba
ble, however, that the court will again
allow the matter to go over through a re
cess.

Say a He Is an Heir.
SCRANTON, Pa., April 21.— Register of
Wills Hopkins has received a letter from
Patrick Murphy, an inmate of the Soldiers'
Home, near Los Angeles, Cal., in which
the writer claims to be a nephew of the late
ex-Judge Handley, wiio left an estate of
nearly $2,000,000, mainly for public pur
poses. Murphy claims to be the son of
Judge Handley's sister, but he is regarded
as an impostor, as the Judge was fre
quently heard to say that he had no living

BELIEVE ZXJTM IS DEAD.
The Famous Cyclist Was Killed. While
Traveling Tnrough Armenia.
PITTSBURG, Pa., April 21.— Relatives
of Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist, who
was making a trip around the world on
his wheel for Outing, are now convinced he
was murdered by the Kurds in Armenia
at the beginning of the massacre there.
T. P. Langhans, cousin of the wheelman,
has just received a letter confirming this
belief.
The letter is written by an American
missionary in Armenia, but his name can
not be given for fear the letter might find,
its way Dack to Armenia and his life
would be endangered because he confirms
the special Armenian letter of the Associ
ated Press last Friday.
The missionary says the situation is se
rious and danger is imminent. He says
the Armenians intend to fight for their
liberty.
Speaking of Lenz, the missionary says
he has reliable information that Lenz was
killed last May at Koordalon, on the Alish
ga»d plain, near the famous pass of Deli
Babaka. The missionary talked with a
man who says Lenz arrived at Karakales
sen on what the native said was a two
wheeled cart. Two days later the man saw
the dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan.
From the description given there is little
doubt it was the body of Lenz. The mis
sionary has sent for three men who also
saw the body and expects to be able to tell
just how Lenz met his death.
VANDALS KILL SHEEP.
Tliough the Owner Had Promised to Take
Them Off the Range.
DENVER, Colo., April 21.— A special to
the Republican from Red Cliff, Colo., says:
Sheriff Crumley returned to-day from the
Herwick ranch on Catamount Creek, .six
teen miles from Wolcott. where J. T. Her
wicks' herd of 200 sheep were killed Thursday
night. The vandals we at into the pens on
foot, beginning by cutting the throats, but
this being too slow they soon began using
a hammer.
This was the only herd of sheep in the
county and was the cause of a meeting of
the cattlemen of Grand, Eagle and Routt
Counties at McCoy, April 6, when it was
resolved that no sheep should be allowed
on the range.
Mr. Herwick stated that he would dis
pose of the sheep as rapidly as possible, if
given time to get them in condition to
market. This was not granted and citizens
all over the county are indignant. Her
wick had announced his intention of leav
ing the grazing business and working his
placer property on the Grand River, near
his home. More trouble is confidenlly ex
pected.
Rain and Artoto tn Colorado.
DENVER, Colo., April 21.— A light rain
which commenced at 9 o'clock last night
changed to snow about 5 a. m., continuing
until to-night, when the weather cleared.
Altogether six or eight inches of snow fell,
although very little now remains.
Specials to the Republican show that
similar conditions prevailed throughout the
State, moistening the ground and working
much benefit to the farmers. At Red Cliff
there are six inches of wet and heavy snow
and it is still coming down. Railroad
traffic has not been materially affected.
CHALLENGES IN ORDER.
Exciting and Closely Contested
Games in the Handball
Courts.
Feeney and Llnehan of the Union
Court Prepared for All
Comers.
The handball courts were crowded yes
terday and several exciting and closely
contested games were played. One of the
best was at the Union court between J. J.
Feeney and R. Linehan and J. J. Nelson
and J. J. Dillon. The two former won
after a game contest by three games to one.
Feeney and Linehan are out with a
challenge to play any amateur or profes
sional team on the Pacific Coast, Jones
and Riordan excepted, for a valuable
trophy. Harlow of the San Francisco
court and Paddy Cahill, recently from
Chicago, are preferred. W. McManus,
proprietor of the Union court, is prepared
to bet any amount on the success of Feeney
and Linehan, who are members of his
court.
The attraction at the San Francisco
court was a match between Champion
Jones of Australia and J. Harlow and J.
Kearney. They played the best three out
of five games and Jones won three and his
two opponents one.
A rattling game was played at the Occi
dental court between Champion P. T.
Donnelly and 0. J. McGlynn and John
Purcell and Gus Elmer, the latter of the

and Dennis Daly, champion of Oakland,
will play T. F. Bonnet and Champion Don
nelly at the Occidental court, and John
Purcell and Al Hampton will play Ed Ma
loney and Thomas Fennessy, the latter of
the Acme Club, Oakland.
Great interest has been aroused among
handball-players by the challenge of J.
Harlow of the San Francisco cojurt to play

It is rumored in sporting circles that a
prizefight is being arranged between Jack
Hill and Kit Carson, two local feather
weieht pugs, to take place in some out-of
the-way barn within the next two weeks.
The pugs ai'e to light for a purse and the
gate receipts. It is such fignts as the one
about to take place that destroys all pros
pect of the sport of boxing under careful
management being tolerated in this city.
Hill and Carson had better get outside the
county line.
