Pleuro-Pneumonia Near Home.
Washington County Cattle to be

PITTSBURGH. April 25.-A disease re-
sembling pleuro pneumonia has broken
out among the cattle in Washington
county. Veterinary surgeons pronounce
it contagious and have recommended
Governor Pattlson 10 quarantine the
district The disease first developed
itself about two months ago on the farm
of Robert c. Vance and proved puz
zler to number Of physicians calle1 in
consultation on several cases. The
Washington County Stock Breeders As
sociation took the matter in hand few
days ago. and after an investigation call
ed in 6rst-class veterinary surgeon,
who made thorough examination
One of the young cows affected was Sc
lected for dissection, and there was
found structural changes in the lungs
similar to those in pleuro pneumonia
sufficient to prove its contagious char
acter. The body Of the cow was not
altogether fair subject as il bad been
picked out of a herd on account of the
owner valuing it at less. figure than
others. The diagnosis proved beyond
a doubt, however, symptoms of pleuro-
pneumonia. and as the balance of the
herd were tainted in the same manner il
was recommended by the doctor that the
entire district be quarantined until a
thorough official examination could be
made. Governor Patterson was tele-
graphed The facts and 1t is probable that
an order will be officially issued confirm
ing the doctors suggestions.

CHANDELIERS NAVY.
Democrats Opposed to Creating a
Republican Campaign Fund.

WAsHINaroN, April 24.- consider
able breeze was rsised in tue House yes
terday when Mr.. Randall reported back
the naval appropriation bill and moved
non-concurrence in the Senate amend
gmenis. Mr. Kasson raised the point OF
order that .he amendments must fist be
considered in Conmit,ee of the Whole.
He said the bill was an importaut one.
providing for the construction Of new
naval cruisers, and he did NOT think the
House should express nou-coucurrence
in the Senate amendments without de-
bate The Speaker sustained the point
OF order, when Mr.. Randall said be
would not move to go into committee
Eof the whole on this bill now, because
be had agreed not to interfere with the
consideration of the tariff bill ST this
time. Toe obi ct Of the appropriations
committee was to expedite business and
secure an early adjournment. He sa d
the Senate had made twenty important
amendments to the bill and had iDcreas-
ed the appropriation S6,528, $50.
Mr.. Kasson male a speech defending
the &C i'm of the Senate, and pictured
the dangers which threatened tue nation
for want OF navy.
Mr. Randall replied that the Demo-
cratic party was not responsible for the
condition OF the navy, and it was not
guilty OF any neglect in that particular.
He proceeded TO show that the Republi.
can party was entirely to blame for the
condition Of thing, described by Mr..
Kasson. MI. Rect, Of Msine, Mr. CAL
kins and Mr Dorsheimar, of New York,
participated in the debate, and finally an
angry dispute arose between Mr.. Ran.
dali and Mr.. Dorsheimer as to divis on
OF time, during which the House ad.
journed.
1t is very evident that the Navy bill
will call forth a very bitter discussion in
the House before it is acted upon. The
Democrats admit that something should
be done towards providing something
like respectable navy, but they are op.
posed to voting monev for Secretary
Chandler to use as an electioneering fund

monica! that even il Chandler were not
an objection, he would oppose anything
like liberal appropriation.
