IsPEcIAL TO THE sKSIrSEL-l
CHICAGO. Sept. 2O.-L London advices say
that the loot and mouth disease is making
an alarming progress in England, and
threatens the ruin Of tens Of thousands OF
farmers Of that country. Recent u%nfsvor-
able seasons caused many throughout the
midland counties to abandon tillage and
devote themselves more to grazing and
butter making. Cattle have become the
principal staple Of these counties. The
disease now extends from Cheshire across
the country to Lincolnshire and along the
eastern and southern coasts - far As Dey-
onshire. 1t exists in . very virulent form,
and is Of An epidemic nature. The grazsrs
and farmers are almost panic stricken, and
Populations daily besiege the Privy Coun-
Gil to take measures to check the spread OF
the disease. At the last meeting Of the
council il 10 reported that . plan, long in
force in this country. which 10 practically
free from disease, to check the movement
Of SOUND animals through infected dis
tricts, in order to reach the markets. but
this il deemed insufficient. and it is urged
that stock markets and fairs be closed
during the coming Autumn and Winter in
all the districts where the disease has ap-
peared ct any time during the year.
Should this course be adopted, American
cattle raissrs will find ; better market in
England than heretofore. The absurd cry
that the infection was introduced from
this country has ceased.
Evarts Enthusiastic.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Wm. Evarts, who
returned from the Willard excursion yester-
day. was enthusiastic about the country
traversed by the Northern Pacific. Its
resources and its future. said be. one is
introduced to . new form Of topography.
When he Jaw the vast plains Of Dakota.
and The table lands Of Montana, the agri-
cultural resources Of the country are
limitless, md while il may not become
the granary Of the world, it will certainly
furnish rs all the bread We can eat and to
spare. The time will come when . great
portion Of the Northern Pacific will have to
be double tracks, owing TO the demands Of
transportation which . rapidly growing
population will make upon it. The road
bed 10 good. and was easy to build. There
are few grades and obstacles which have
to be commended with. When it il remem-
bered that the outlet Of the road 10 600
miles nearer to Japan than San Francisco,
you can see what advantage the Northern
Pacific route will have. The harbors Of
Puget Sound and the entire upper coast
are good.

ton TO license, and their nomination yes

~ they happen 70 feel. A committee was

Bar reelected permanent President. who
reviewed the cause Of prohibition and re-
counted the manner in which that party
will b deceived BY the declarations Of the

sions. He predicted the ultimate success

the evils which threaten the city.

the Department Of Agriculture. who il An
expert veterinarian. states that be hes
come to the conclusion that the cattle dis
ease in the District Of Columbia. which

ago. was not contagious pleuro- pneumonia.
The only Gases Of genuine plsuro-pneumo-
mia known 70 exist 1t present In the United
States are in Connecticut. and there are
