That the deptrtmont has reason to suspect the latter h evidenced fiom the report that cornea to It from Con sul llarnca nt Cologne , In which the consul points out grosd discrimination there against American hams , The consul In his report encloses the following translation of a notice printed ! the local newspapers at Colosno : The chief mayor publlshci this notice : American h uni h.ivo been brought Into this ntirkit which 'were pilntod with botncic jxeld In order to preserve them Although they were carefully washed before being of fered for sail- , the meat was t-tror.gly Im pregnated with the acid nnd crystals of liorix li id formed on the bone nsvns shown by the lenilts of the chemlcil exam ination.

This complaint touches the Integilty ot German wines , which are imported Into the United States In quantities so great as to make the volume of our fresh fiult trade with Germany ins'gnlflcant ' by compaiisou. The btato department having had Its at tention directed to the statements of eminent experts In Germany , relative to the gicat adulteration of thcso wines , Hid the matter Tjcforo the German government and courteously afforded It an opportunity to defend the character of the wines.
