The Foot and Mouth Disease Carried from
England to America
LONDON, Aug. 17-In The Commons, Mr..
Dodson, Chancellor OF the Duchy of Lancas-
ter, stated that it was an undoubted fact that
the foot and mouth disease had been carried
from England to America, He said the Cana
dian cattle now suffering with the disease at
Bristol had been brought in contact at Liver
pool with infected animals from Ireland He
pointed out, however, that the American
quarantine system in relation to cattle dis
eases gave no security against conveyance of
the disease by men attached to the guaran-
tine stations, and by articles taken out of the
quarantine yards. The system, he said, only
selves.

GLADSTONE's WORK.
A Savage Attack on the Premier's Home and
Foreign Policy.

A Savage Attack on the Premier's Home and
Foreign Policy.
London Correspondence New York Times.
The stalwart savage was a lion here last
year. as were two of his chiefs who are re-
ported killed 1t is rumored, however, that
Cetewayo is not dead though it is pretty
well established that two of the pursuing
victors stabbed him. Poor, wretched dupe
ment, he was sent home to destruction,
propped up on pasteboard throne plugged
with dynamite. He was restored to a king
ship that did not exist, to a monarchy split
up by his revolted chiefs; restored without
support, the flag of England waved over him
as a sort of moral bogey, and with not a
single British soldier to defend it. But
Mr.. Gladstone felt bound to reverse the
work of his predecessor in South America,
as he has done in Egypt, as he has done
in Ireland, and what an army of ghosts
must fit before him if he has dreams. Rich
arc on the eve of Bosworth Field is nowhere
to the bloody record that belongs to the
Gladstonian history not because Gladstone
is vicious, but because he is vain, willful,
and a mere politician. 1t is no good dis
gusing this from ones self, however much
one may admire his genius; since the days
when like Achilles, he sulked in his tent,
leaving it at last, unlike Achilles, to regain
power by any and every means of trick,
artifice, and fraud, he has been a curse in
stead of blessing to his country. If he
should end his career amid the blaze of
European war he will go far toward the full
fillment of Lord Palmerston's forecast of it
that he would be the ruin of England unless
England were saved in time by his death in a
mad-house. With the cry of peace on his
lips he let loose the dogs of war on the
Nile; rejecting the warnings of
friends and foes he lured Ireland
on to her destruction; declaring he would
first re-establish the honor of the
British flag in the Transvaal and then make
terms, he made a hurried peace without Sc
curing the protection Of his native allies, and

hood is preparing a statement, which will be
published in a short time, showing the
amount of money received and expended.
We have receipts for every cent paid out,
and when the full history of the movement
is known it will be seen that the Brother
hood has waged a conflict, which, though
disastrous, is not discreditable. We have
received in all less than $4,000.
Out of this the rent of Clarendon Hall had
to be paid, and the hotel bill of the

keen weaklings from returning to work, re-

only So, 900 or $1,000 to divide among 700
operators and 200 linemen, and of this sum
the linemen got the largest share, The
average amount paid to the operators on
strike was $4 for the entire four weeks"
A number of men not re-employed left for
Pittsburg and other points tonight. Some
of them feel very sore over the issue of the
struggle, but hope that few days will blot
out all disagreeable memories and that old
time pleasantries will prevail. The tele-
graphers' benefit game of base ball. postponed
till to-day on account of bad weather, is now
declared ''off" Telegraphers here say there
will not be nine strikers left after tomorrow.
A lineman says the strike of telegraph
operators and linemen ended this afternoon
at o'clock. Master Workman John Camp
bell sent out dispatch from this city to all
local assemblies of the brotherhood, through
out the United States and Canada stating
that the executive committee had come to
the conclusion that the strike was failure,
and advising members of the brotherhood to
return to work Immediately. A circular
bearing the seal of the Brotherhood was also
mailed to each of the assemblies, giving
reasons for abandoning the strike ac-
knowledging that the Western Union
would never concede the demands of
the strikers and that constant defections
from their ranks had weakened them, and
the chances of those who remained out re-
garding positions were daily becoming less.
The order was the signal for a general break
up, and shortly after 8 they began to pour
into the office of the Western Union Com
pany of this city. Superintendent Hum
stone was kept busy receiving applications
for restoration 1ntil IL o'clock tonight,
when he decided to close his office. Up to
that hour forty-five of the male and eight of
the female applicants had been accepted. A
large number was rejected, as the company
had decided to receive back only the best of
the operators. The ladies, thirty-eight
in body, but there was time
only to receive the applications of
but few of their number. Superintendent
Humstone said, as a rule, the men seemed
to be glad to get back to their work, and he
had noticed no evidence of dissatisfaction
Tonight the force in the Office numbered
about ninety, mainly strikers who had re-
turned The me doing double duty since
the strike began were thus given a rest. At
the headquarters of the executive committee
of the Brotherhood tonight the rooms were
dark and none of the members of the COM
mittee could be found.

A Fireman Fooled.

When woman begins to scheme she
seldom stops until she has obtained the
object desired by her. One of the most
successful jokes that has yet been per-
petrated in Leadville was planned and
carried out by woman living on East
Second street. Out of regard for the
parties interested we will suppress the
names, but we cannot do so with the
story. Among the Central station fire
laddies is middle-aged man who has
been married for some years. He is a
Jolly good fellow and liked by all the
members of the fire department. 1t
appears, however, that this man has
bad fault which he could not overcome
perhaps he did not want to-notwith-
standing that he was often persuaded
to do so. He very seldom slept at his
own home, which was near the fire
station, preferring to lie down with his
fellow-firemen. His wife often entreat-
ed him to sleep at home, but he refused.
At last, finding that persuasion was
useless, Mrs. - took few of the
fremen into her confidence and told
them of scheme she had under way,
by which her husband could be brought
to time. Everything connected with
the scheme was kept quiet. One night
near the end of last week the cries OF
woman were heard on upper State
street. In a few moments the doors
were thrown open and the windows
pushed up. The firemen turned out
and of course were surprised to see
Mrs. on the street screaming at
the top of her voice. Her husband ran
toward her and, greatly alarmed, asked
her what was the matter. She replied
excitedly that there was man in the
house under her bed. The husband
rushed into the house with blood in his
eyes, determined to scalp the intruder.
Examination, however, proved that the
bird had flown. The house was
searched, but the william who had
dared to enter his house was nowhere
to be found. Since that time Mir
sleeps at his home nightly, in igno-
rance of the little joke that was played
upon him.-LedduilLe (C0l.) Chronicle

The Dollar OF 1904.

In the recent sales at Bangs, in New
York, the most valuable specimen sold
was a silver dollar of 1904, which
brought $40. 1t was well-preserved
coin, and was pronounced genuine by
experts. There has been some discus
sion among collectors as to the 1904
dollar recently, and it has been asserted
that some of the coins bearing that date
and priced by proud owners had been
altered by clever manipulation from
earlier dates 1t was said also that abb
solute counterfeits had been placed in
the hands of collectors by designing
persons, and that the really genuine
lSO4's could be counted on the fingers
of one hand. The dollar of 1904 weighed
4l2J grains. The coin that was sold in
New York belonged to Baltimore col
lector, and has been for some time in
the hands of well-known Philadel-
phia numismatist. 1t is said to have
come from Vienna, but how it found its
way there no one is able to tell. 1t is
in splendid condition. The price ex-
pected was at least 81, 500 (some pre-
dicted S2,000). but it is probable that
recent publications relative to restrikes
and alterations weakened to some ex-
tent the confidence of collectors Ac-
cordinr to the best authorities there was
more than one restrike of the 1904 dol
lar. One was made by an employe, and
the coins were recovered with the eX-
ception of two What became of these
is not known. They were distinguished
from the genuine by not having letter.

We're struck, of which one went abroad,
another was obtained by a collector of

one of these restrikes would sell at 800
if its pedigree were established.
A collector said last night that, judg
ing from the number OF 1904 dollars
that are coming to light, they can not
be so rare as some people think. He
says that if they turn up as rapidly in
the next ten years as they have in the
last ten the 1904 dollar will cease to be
the rarest of American dollars and the
1858 will take its place. The latter
never got into circulation and the mint
books are silent as to silver dollars in
that year, but eighty or ninety proof
coins were struck and most of these are
in the hands of collectors. They sold
ten years ago for from so TO Sl5 each,
but now they bring $50 or $40 and a
proof set of the silver coinage of that
year is worth from $40 to S50.-Phila
