Special 10 the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 3O.-A
thorough invegt igation of the stock
yards here fails to show any sympt ,ms
Of the cattle disease reported to have
attacked consignments of cattle shipped
from here TO Chicago, That those cat
tie were suffering from some fatal

that the coutagion was confined eX-
clusively to those shipments. and no

THE SITUATION IN CHICAGO.
Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO. July 30.-No further do
velopments have been reported In the
cattle fever excitement. The afflicted
cattle we're killed to-day, including
to-day's arrivals, and the peas and
yards la which they were held have
been thoroughly disinfected. Good
authority here claims that there IA no
danger whatever of the disease spread
ing now since the cattle suffering have
been removed
| THE TROUBLE PAST.
! UNION SrocK YARDS, iLL., July ~.
There are NO further Developments
to-day regarding the Texas fever. The
diseased cattle have been slaughtered
aud condemned, and there have been
no fresh arrivals. Those unaffected In
the lot have been sold TO local butchers
subject To rigid inspection. No slher
cattle In the yards have been affected
in the least. Sick cattle, IL Is asserted, ,
do not communicate the diseaseknown
as Texas fever. That malady comes
from through Texans which are never
affected themselves. As the disease
was brought here by improved cattle
and not by stock direct from Texas, no
further trouble, so far IN other cattle
are concerned, IL apprehended.
NINE MORE LOADS.
