summer residents of Newport, who have

l. ;. Every, of Brooklyn, sends the gallery
a number of his best known pictures, in
cluding works by COrOt, Kraus,

Unavailing-The Discrimination Car

LONDON, July 10.-In the House of
Commons tonight Henry Chaplin. the
Conservative member for Midlincolnsbire.
moved that in view of the prevalence of
the foot and mouth disease the importa-
tion of live cattle should not in the future
be permitted from countries whose pre-
VentlVe laws or the sanitary condition of
whose cattle did not afford reasonable
security against the extension of the dis
ease. He argued that the disease did not
prevail in Scandinavia and British North
America, and that those countries afforded
large supply The motion, he said, would
interfere with only per cent. of the total
meat supply. The loss of cattle bv disease
IN lew years amounted to millions. One
OF the best means of ensuring the meat
supply was to encourage home produc-
nOn. Great Britain could not long rely
upon America for meat as the rapid in
crease OF the latter's population was
causing the expOrtable surplus to become
less daily.
Mr.. Mundella, the member for Sheffield,
opposed the motion. He said that one
sixth of the cattle and meat supplied TO
Great Britain was foreign. The adoption
OF the motion would cause an enormous
loss to consumers.
j. G. DOdsOn, the member for Scar
borough, said that the motion meant the
absolute prohibition of the importation of
live stock. The government was unable
to agree thereto, but would as
sent to the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the prevalence
OF the foot and mouth disease. An
amendment in favor of such select COM
mittee was, however, negatived, and Mr.,
Chaplln's motion was subsequently car
ried by a vote of 200 against 1872, the men,

The Efforts of the Buck-Bryant Combi-
nation Fruitless.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Bryant.
Buck combination, which is trying to
effect the removal of General Long
street, does not appear to make much
headway. They got no consolation
from the Attorney General, and
have not yet seen the President. They OF
course want Bryant as General Long
streets successor. They urge that Gene
raj LOngstreet ought to be removed be-
cause his office is loosely conducted and
because he is not a good Republican.
'atfiliating," as Mr.. Buck says, ''with
the Bourbon Democrats" Mr.. Buck also
says: Il am here at the instance of Emory
Speer. He is in full fellowship with us
now"
From very good information it would
seem that the Buck-Bryant combination
might just as well be taken off the road.
President Arthur is perfectly satisfied
with General Longstreet, and does not
dream OF removing him. The ATTORNEY
General is satisfied too. 1t is true that
at first General LOngstreet had trouble
with his accounts, but he is now all right,
President Arthur has never been en-
amored of Mr.. Bryant.
An Associated Press dispatch tonight
says that among President Arthur's Visi-
tors to-day was Mr.. Buck, of Georgia.
who, 1t is understood, filed a formal ap-
peal from the Republicans of Georgia for
a change in the office of United States
Marshal for that State.
