Crnsh Out PIenro. .PnenmonIa.

ALBANY, Feb. -. Prof. Law who has
been investigating the epidemic among cattle
on Long Island. under directions OF Gov. Robin
son. arrived here to-day. and supplemented his
former reports by personal explanation. The
result has been 10 convince the Governor that
further steps on his part arc necessary. After
consultation with Mr.. Sloan and Agricultural
Wadsworth a bill was drafted appropriatlng
10000 TO cover the expense Of executing the
law Of last year in stamping out the disease.
Mr. Sloan arrested the dry proceedings Of third
reading Of bills in the Assembly with m cNpla-
nation Of the facts asrrtaincd 10y Prot Law
that an infect ious disease hadhroken out among
the cattle on Long Island. II was plcuro-pneu-
mOpia. and had made such hcadway that IL was
likely 10 spread 20 other regions, unless prompt
measures were taken to arrest II. He UNDER
stood that tho Boards OF Health OF both New
York and BROOKLYN had interlic,ed the move
ment Of cattle from the infected places but there
WAS great danger that the owners Of the diseased
animals would drive them into other places
among healthy cattle and thus spread the
disease. which is held TO be very contagious.
An appropriation was necessary 10 meet the
expense, The Assembly promptly passed the
bill making an appropriation ot $4,000. II was
subsequently transmitted 20 tho Senate. and
promptly conquered IN by that body.
