The epizootic has reached Milwaukee
from the east. In one of the stables of the
American Express company seven out of
eighteen horses are now afflicted with d
low typhus fever, which acts more severely
on the mucus' membrane and glands of the
head and neck than the disease termed ep-
izoOtic. In the present form of the diff
Guilty the trachia or wind-pipe and the
bronchial tubes are affected. This fact
makes the trouble more alarming, as a
cough frequently develops from an afec-
old disease the salivary glands
were rot affected, but in the one now
present all the glands are excited to alb
normal activity and the horse Ito use a
country expression ''slobbers." The prev
alence of the disease and its severity de-
pends upon climate, or, more properly,
atmospheric conditions. Veterinary sur
geons give it as their opinion that by
next week many, if not the majority of
horses IN this city will deYelope some
form of the trouble. This judgement is
based on the present and probable state of
the atmosphere. In the street car stables,
& low typhus fever is reported, which is
deemed to be the premonitory symptoms
Some few mild cases are reported from
the sale stables and stables of fancy and

speaking of these figures, says that the
demand for specie for export to the
United States has so far fallen upon
France and Germany rather than upon
England. The explanation, it states.
is to be found in the fact that the har-
vests have been worse in the eastern
portions of Europe than in the western.

its food supply by that of Russia, The
