WASHINGTON BUIIBAU or THE Br.c , ) 6KI l ouiiTHRNrii STIIUHT , V WAMitxriTox , July 1. ) Secretary Morton today took another step looking toward a further reduction ot the meat Inspection force employed in the vnrl- jus slaughter houses of the country. As Is tvcll known , the object of having govern ment Inspectors stationed in the great ex porting abattoirs , was for the purpose of : onvlnclng the Europeans that our meat products nro free from disease. Thus far the Inspection ot meats for Gor man and French consumption has been a very expensive proceeding and our exports to ttioso countries arc not In proportion to the cost of Inspection. The bureau of animal Industry has been very extensively used in the past by senators and members to sccuro lucrative places for their constituents with tlio result that this particular branch of the government service la greatly overloaded. Secretary Morton addrosssd a letter to the Iarfc parking houses In Buffalo , Chicago , Umnha , Kansas City and other points where the gavcrntriont has stationed meat inspec tors. The secretary desires information fiom these wackers as to whether nn Inspec tion of meats by the mlcroscopists of the Ag ricultural department is required bcciiuso they are exporting meats to countries which demand certiorates of inspection. llo also desires to bo informed as to whether It is necessary to continue Inspec tion , and if it bo deemed to be important in order to facilitate the sale of American moats in Europe that the said meats should bo inspected and tagged. Mr. Morton In his letter also aska the packers If any good reason exists why they should not pay the rest of inspection and stamping Just as brewers and distillers pay for stamps on their goods. Secretary Alorton has already effected a considerable saving to the govern ment In the mutter of meat inspection. Since ho became secretary of agriculture ho has so reduced the bureau of animal Indus try so as to save ? 2SOtT , : ! : and thu persons whoso services have been dispensed with number 282.

GOLDEN TROUT. Mngnlllcent risli I'miml In Ono Cnllfornlu Htrriiin. The prldo of California In the fish line contort about a peculiar vnrloty of trout that has been found only In Whitney creek. This ntroam spring * out of bald Mount Whitney and after tumbling down mountain gorges for forty miles merges at lust into the Dig Kern rivor. The liig Kern is full of trout of the ordinary silver sort , but no one has over caught ono of the golden lish in that stream. Anyone ono can 11U a basket with common trout in the Kern where Whitney creek runs into it , and a hundred yards away the golden trout bites just as voraciously. The San FruncUco Examiner pays one can hoe the aureal glint in the mist of the ripples , like great gold Huh in a parlor aquarium. Whitney creek is full of falls , and it is In the white water where those catar acts tumble Into the deep pits that the fisherman llnds his greatest reward. Ho has only to cast his lly into the mist and foam and the glorious trout fairly leap at it. Its brilliant colors are by no means all that the golden trout has to recommend It. It Is as gamy and full of light as any llsh on the continent , and its llavor equals Its lino. Tlio water it swims In in freezing cold'with the blue- white of the unow still in it. Of course , few of these llhh over reach the city. Whitney crock is too far in the moun tains for that , and the only men who can toll of the joy of eating this lish are the hunters , who do not mind the leagues of mountain trails that llo between the railroad and Whitney creek and the miners and prospectors who haunt the wild canons nbDut Mount Whitney for the gold that comes out of the rocks In stead of the creeks. A bald description falls to convey nn adequate idea of the golden trout , but the naturalists have written this descrip tion of him : "Tho base color Is a red gold. Down the bpino the rich color shades into abrown , but there is btill the glint in it. The belly from the gills to the tail is a brilliant carmine not n pale intangible red , but a regular rose color. The ilns are golden at the base , but darken toward tlio edges and are tlnped 'with that same vivid carmine. ] jack near the tail the lish is dotted with black , the specks extending to the end. The body color of the tail shades like the fins from gold to carmine. From the spine at intervals equal to their widtli transverse stripes of palo purple drop almost to the belly. The head is brown ish on top , pule gold on the bides and pink below. The scales are micro scopic. " There are many other little streams that have their sources in the furrows on bald Mount Whitney's face , but though mountain trout are plentiful in all of them , Whitney creek is the only one that holds the golden trout. The existence of these trout has only recently become known. Prof. Jordan , president of the Stanford university , the great authority on lish , recently made a report on the Whitney trout and gave it a Latin name. His report is as follows : ' "Tljpjisli is a distinct species of trout , entirely different from" any found .olso- whorcj'eithor in the Rocky mountains or tlio Sierra Novadas. The very small size of the scales , the lack of teeth on the byoid bones and the peculiar color markings are distinctive of this trout. It seems evident , so far as ono can judge of such matters , that this trout is a de scendant from the trout of western Colorado rado , which abounds in the tributaries of Clear river , the Green river , the Grand river and in the Gunnison dis trict.

Kuhn lint- ties with n Nncnk Thlof Chicken Thlevn In Jnll Police Notes. J. C. McMahon , a B. & M. detective who Is ox-chief of police of Columbus , Neb. , and who formerly owned the Drum saloon In this city , Is In. the aurgcon'a care , because of an experience with a couple of footpads Friday night , from which It is a wonder that ho came out alive. Ho was cut with a knife In a score of places , bis clothes being slashed to rags , and ho was pounded over the bead with a coupling pin until ho was nearly killed. McMahon came to the city with J-VX ) in greenbacks In his possession. Ho was ac quainted with Tom Murphy , who runs a saloon near Thirteenth and Jackson , and spent the evening at that resort , but ac cording to all stories ho did not drink , and when the place was closed at midnight ho was perfectly sober. Several of those who bad been In the place satoutsldo for a while after closing and when Murphy finally started for homo McMahon started for the union depot , Intending to take an c.trly freight for homo. According to his story , ho changed his mind after reaching there , auu started back up town , lo llml a hotel and go to bod. He crossed over on Mason to Eleventh street and was on the viaduct when attacked. Ho tells this story of the assault upon him. Strugglcil Against Oilils. "I saw two men standing a short distance from the approach and they separated as 1 canio near. Ono was tall , the other shorter , neither as heavy as I. Suspicious of the move , I kept my eye on the big fellow when the other hit mo In the face with some hard substance. I struck back , sending him down , and grappled with the other. Wo struggled along the rail , all thrco of us. Ono of them tore the sleeve from my coat , the other drew out a knife and slashed at my head and abdomen. The silt In my coat is 10 } Inches long ; the knife went through the cover of my book of insurance tables and oven cut the shirt. A second lunge ripped up the vest. "The men at length got the best rf mo after wo had worked down to the south end of the viaduct and throw mo over the fence. When I came to my pockets were turned In side out and my money gone. My papers and letters had been lingered by bloody hands , and I myself w.is covered with blood. I went up to the police station and then to my room. ' "No , I bavn no idea who the mon were. I have boon a detective and know many of the crooks in this p.irt of the country , but did not recognize the mon and probably could not identify them. They must , however , huvo been covered with blood. " Mr. McMuhon displayed his blood-stained clothes , the slashed coat , vest and notebook , and had his hcaa well bandaged. Foil Blecilliif ; to the Ground. The fall was enough to kill a man , as It is , over thirty feet from the viaduct railing to the tracks below. It so happened , however , that the fall was somewhat broken , as Mc Mahon had not gotten far enough on to the viaduct when assaulted to be beyond the foot of the bank below the structure , so that when he was thrown oveiho had a sheer fall of about fifteen feet , when ho struck the sloping bank and rolled the remaining dis tance , although the bank is so steep that to roll down it is almost us bad as a sheer fall The police immediately went to work on the case , but had no clues for their guidance. In looking over the scene of the assault , blood1 was found on the floor of the viaduct above where McMahon was found , while quite a pool had collected where ho lay on the ( rrouud below , .and some of his papers wore scattered about. It Is belioyed that the. highwayman dis covered that McMahon had a roll wnilo at Murphy's , a'id followed him to the depot and back until a favorable opportunity was found to "do" him. It is stated that ho did not flash his roll , but that on the contrary when he bought some clears he told the bar tender to "put it down , " because ho had "too much money to change in hero. " Eurly yesterday morning Chief Detective Haze made a tour through the bottoms , look ing for traces of the robbers who held up McMahon last night in a saloon at Fourth and Walnut streets. He found two men who answered the description given by McMahon and that the men hud displayed a large roll of money and had left two largo revolvers with the bartender for safe keeping. Haze put up a job on the per son who would call for the guns , and shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon John Burke blew in. lie was promptly arrested. At the jail the man gave the name of John Burke and said his occupation was that of a seaman. He disclaimed all knowledge ol why ho was arrested and said ho was at his room in the European hotel all Friday night. Ho refused to give the names of his part ners , but said ho left them at a saloon under ono of the viaducts. He had $5.85 on his per son. son.JackBurke , James Fay and William John son are booUcd at police headquarters on suspicion of having had a hand in slugging and robbing J. C.

Often from time to time have I hoard people retnurK there was something strangely Inartistic , almost grotesque , said some , about the huge figure of the republic to the shore side of the peratylc.

I have hoard coarse comedians say the golden goddess' hand was poised as If she wcro reaching out hungrily tor a ham sandwich. other similarly frivolous remarks about the mammoth lip uro wcro entirely uncalled for and unwarranted. Yet the hiimbla layman , making no pretense to accomplishment in passing upon works of art , has felt there was something about the towering gilded figure , the sight of which failed to" 1111 the soul with delight and instead jarred rudely upon the sense of vision. Some writer has said In defining criticism : "It Is describing something you knew and saw nil the time , but didn't realize until it was painted out. * So with this figure. It remained for a llttlo woman to pick out what she considered the flaw in this big and gilded maiden. When I asked her recently what she thought of It the answer was : "There Is too much drapery about and under the shoulders and the sleeves should not have been cut off so high. That's all's the matter with the statue. " It strikes mo plenty of people will appre ciate the criticism. The art critics have never said much about this Hcpublio statue. Nebraska's Sugar Imlimtry.

SEVERAL PICNICS ARE ON THE PROGRAM Cunrtlnnil will Catch a Crowd Mnny GUI- com will Titko It Cnnl nnil tlumlimte on the Heron of Colonial Unyi KunulnR Itnce * . Unless some of the wheels of progress slip a cog in the meantime , next Tuesday morning will usher in the UTth birthday of American Independence , and , while the city of Omaha will not Indulge In any wild patriotic demonstrations , Ucr citizens will bear In mind the fact that the day Is the over-adored comnicmorablo and glorious l\mrth of July , j.hcy will boar In mind that It was upon tills particular day of the month , 117 years ngo , that the American cnglo first chewed up Its Iron cage and , with a Yankee-Doodle ' scream , pounced down upon the affrighted tyrants and tore their despotic habiliments into a thousand giblots. They will nls ) bear In mind that the day is ono that is worthy of being the first day of the year , as well as being a day that will be emblazoned by the latest posterity when all other days have sunk Into oblivion "non compos mentis , " While they nro romemoor- Ing this they will at the same time remem ber that the day marks the date upon which the ancestral progenitors unanimously fought , bled and 'ildd , that their children's children might cut their own vine and fig tree without being molested or made afraid of any person or nation ou the face of the earth , Will Think of Colonial Dnj-i. Having revolved1 these thoughts In tboir minds , there are but few of the Omaha citi zens who will sit supinely down next Tues day when this prognostic anniversary Is passing along into history without thinking of the great epochs of the revolution , the bloou-buspanglcd plains of Hunker Hill , Monmouth and Yorktown , Thou they will follow those revolutionary heroes of a past century through blood stained snows and trackless forests and deserts , realizing the adorable enjoyments , privileges and pre rogatives , which now fall like heavenly dew upon every American residing between the forests of Maine and the everglades of Florida ; between the fisheries of the At lantic coast and the yellow banks of Cali fornia , where the Jingling of the yellow boulders mixes up with the screams of the catamount. With the coming of this day every true , nd tried American will elevate himself upon Is dignity , shako the dew drops from his untintr shirt , sound the tocsin , blow the orn and beat the cymbals until the start ing echoes , reverberating from bill top to ill top , shall cause the "adamantine moun- , ains of the east , the sago brush of Wyotn- ng. the agricultural districts of Nebraska ml the auriferous particles of the Black Illls to prick up their oars and ask their ciKhbors , "Where are wo atl" For once the residents of this great ii etropolis. situated upon the banks of the -nightv and murky Missouri , will not cele- irate in accordance with the plans followed ly the patriots of a century ace , but instead will indulge In looking backward , ivbllo they p.ttronizc the penny booths along ho streets , buying cheap explosives and llling themselves with red lemonade , after .vhich . most of them will Ida themselves to .heir homes to cscapo the small boy , who ivjll be as happy as a colt released from winter's confinement , us ho explodes his" tock of llrecracltcrs and beholds the sizilo if the pin wheel , without having any particular regard for the feelings nnd appreciation ot his elders. However , not all of the Omaha contingent will go Into retire ment to get rid of the smoke , noise nnd con- 'usion , for some of the -orators will betake hemselvcs to the country , where in the ihad.v groves about some of the smaller cities if the state , they will reach up and pull the all feathers from the grand old eagle that s symbolic of American freedom , after ivhich they will'mingle ' with the masses , re counting historic events ana picnicking from , the corpulent lunch baskets , which will iibound in the greatest abundance. Several quiet events have been arranged by the societies and clans of this city , and while they will not bo exclusive they will not bo free-for-all affairs , though a few of them will bo strictly upon this order and the general public will bo invited to take their wives , babies and sweethearts and attend , in order that Old Glory anU the cigo : ! may bo spread out in the most con- spicious manner possible. I'rojiniim HI 1'ropirucl. Without doubt the crowning event will bo tbo "running meet" at the fair ground , where a largo number of the most patriotic steeds have boon entered and backed for nil the "long green" that is in sight some of which will also bo out of sight , alter the races. The butchers' picnic that will bo held at Siiru.v Mills has the promise of being a gath ering that will draw ono of the great crowds. ArranRemcnts have been made for special trains , which will bear tlio peopla to the grounds , where prizes will bo offered to the experts who can skin the greatest number of cattle nnd sheep In the stiortest space of time. In addition to this , thcro will bo a game of base ball between a couple of the packing house gangs , with a prize hung up for the winner. Out at the Young Men's Christian associa tion park ut the Intersection of Twentieth nnd Miami streets , two of the champion clubs of the city will participate in a game of basket ball , to be followed by some bicycle riding and a complete bill of athletic sports. Courtland beach will catch the crowd , where tbo general public will bathe nnd boat , while the Ancient Order of United Workmen will hold the nm.uiil picnic. The fact of the holding of the picnic will not bar a soul on earth , as the beach will bo open all day long to those who have a desire to enjoy nn outing at that popular resort. A lawn fete la booked for tjho evening , to bo hold on the spacious grounds of Mr. and Mrs. Williams , ut Twonty-flfth and Charles streets , where thcro will bo Chinese lanterns and refreshments galore. Several parties have been planned for Manawa nnd Burlington beach , but they nro private and exclusive and will not bo par ticipated in by these who have not boon in vited. Money Will no Up In Smoke. All of the hotels and the restaurants ol the city will make a special spread , serving the regulation Fourth of July dinner to thcli many guests , During the evening , which will follow thr closing hours of the day several thousand dolors worth of money will go up In smoke us the rockets and rockets , accomdanlod bj Itornan coandlca will shoot heavenward fron every hill and dale. Moat of thcao display ! will bo of a private nature , but the promlsi ia that a great many new and novel pi ceo will bo exhibited for the edification of botl young and old. Taking everything Into consideration , tin Fourth of July , lb'J.1 gives promise of belnj ono of the most pleasant ones that the pcopli of Omaha huvo over been called upon ti celebrate , though the man and woman will sensitive nerves can congratulate eachothe : upon the fact that It will not bo so loud a some others have been.

CHA11T.ESTON , S. 0. , July 1. The pCOX pie of the Palmetto stnto at nihliuili/ / . last night entered upon the now ( llspo.- siition and the novornnient took charge ) of the whisky business. From the olll- elul returns It appears thrtt tlie tttato opened disponsnriofl In nineteen out of the thirty-four counties in Hie state. In txt least six of these the state barrooms were established ami the cocktail dis pensers appointed by the county bmmla of control , an open violation of the law , which requires the endorsement of n majority of the freehold voters of iv com munity for the establishment of a ills * ponsary. In those counties the courts will bo appealed to for injunctions to prevent the opening of stnto barrooms ) and the state will llml itself with half n tloxcn now lawsuits on its hands. The situation nil over South Carolina yesterday was a peculiar one. in Charleston there was in progress all day a hujjo whisky fuir. The air with Illled with a tintinnabulation of the auclloii bolls and with cries of auctioneers. In dozens of liquor stores wore crowds ot American cUlx.ens buying whisky ami wine and beer , to lay in a stock against ; the dry spell. In tlio fashionable ( jnv coriofl extra forces of- clerks were at work day and night for a week or more putting up demijohns and kegs of whisky , brandy , rum , gin and wine , and a battalion of drays and delivery wagons1 has been employed carrying the goods to the railroad depots and to the homes of purchubors. It Is no ex aggeration to RIIV that there nro no 10,0(10 ( out of tfio 70,000 , homes of white people in the city which are not sup plied with liquor enough to last u year. Thus far the requisite ondorhcmont of a majority of the freehold voters of this city has not been secured for the estab lishment of a dispensary. It is ox- pcotcd , however , that in accordance with instructiona from the governor the board of control will take the law into its hands and start a barroom next week anyhow. Two hundred barrooms in this city closed their doors at midnight. Many of thcbo will bo reopened for restaurants for the serving of lunch and soft drinks. It is probable that 100 or more blind tigers will open their side doors today. The governor has already organized a secret constabulary all over the btnto , but refuses to give the names of the ap pointees. Altogether there is promise of lively times in the btato during the next six months. IFIIOM TnSTCKI > A.T 8 9KOOVD EDITION. I S AltltKSVJilt. \v. M. iimi , i. riuiiii < > rcj ! 11 rail v ?
