Washington, March i -The follow
ing circular has been sent to all United
States attorneys and marshals:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, March II, 1884.
To District Attorneys and Marshals of
the United States:
BY direction of the president, 1 have
to inform you that it is reported that
certain persons are aiding in the prose-
cution Of heinous crimes by shipping to
foreign ports explosives dangerous in
the highest degree to life and property.
No proof has been adduced that this
rumor is founded upon fact, and the
president cannot believe in its truth.
The honor Of this nation, however, re-
quires that it should not be open to the
imputation, unfounded though 1t be, of
the slightest appearance Of t~olerating
such crimes, whether to be committed
against our people or those Of other
countries. Your attention is, there
fore, called to sections 1858, 1854, 1856,
1878 and 1919, OF the revised statutes
Of the United States, which regulate
the shipment of explosives and the
punishment Of those who infringe on
their provisions, and you are instructed
to be diligent in your efforts to prevent
the offenses prescribed, and to detect
and prosecute those who have or may
commit them. Very respectfully,
BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER,
Attorney General.

Brown, A. M. Cannon, A. L. Davis,
o. F. Wood, H. L. Cummings, W. H.
Armstrong, and such other persons as
may be associated with them as the in
corporators Of the company. The road
will extend from Spokane Falls by way
of the Fort and Seur d'Alene to the
intersection with the Northern Pacific
or the Utah Northern railroad in wes-
tern Montana, and will have branch
lines on the main line in Idaho terri
tory by each of the following rivers:
Ceur d'Alene, st. Marys and st. Jo-

Neesho Falls, Kas., March 1.-THE
quarantine committee appointed by the
mass convention yesterday, held a meet

BILE precautions to stop the infection of
herds and premises. A herd in Coffey
county have been placed in charge of A.

discretion committee, preserve a strict

of here, on Owl creek, have been placed
in charge of G. B. Inge, with resident
advisory committee. One new herd re-
ported infected to-day. 1t is thought
the committee will be able to enforce a
strict compliance with their regulations

authority, the situation cannot be long

The Reason Made Plain.

Ever since the transfer of the $780,
900 bond rights which originally were
vested in the Union Pacific railway
company, had that company fulfilled
the terms of its agreement with this
country, over the Cheyenne, Black Hills
& Montana railway company, our peo-
pie have been anxiously looking for
ward to the time when operations
would begin by the new company on
this line. In other words they expect
ed tina: work was to begin at once.
People did not stop to consider what
obstacles lay in the way of the new
company before it could commence
operations. There were many, of
course. which we need not now men
tion, but there were others, or rather
one at least which, if not successfully
solved, sould involve one of two con-
~tingencies, either the project of con-
structing the road would have TO be
given up altogether or virtually
some other point would have to be
selected as the southern terminus of the
road. Cheyenne itself was hemmed in
by the military reservation close By US
we allude to the Fort Russell reser-
walton of course. The construction of
the road from any point outside the
city limits-even but a short distance
over the line-would be very disaster
GUS to the business interests of the city,
to say the least. If the southern ter
mini were to be any considerable dis
lance away a new town would probably
and dangerous detriment OF Chey-
enne. This is a matter which is
so apparent to all that it is not neces-
sary to further allude to it. Not only
must be a right of way intended by the
government to the Cheyenne, Black
Hills q Montana railroad through the
Fort Russell military reservation by
through that of Fort Laramie as well.
Now this right of way could only be
obtained by virtue of an act of con-
gress, and that of course required time.
Mr.. Post, to effect this object, intro
duced a bill in the house of representa-
tives, at Washington, some time ago..
Like all other bills introduced in that,
or any other legislative body, it has
to pass through several stages of par
liamentary conditions before it can be-
come a law. The bill of course was
referred to its appropriate committee,
and as will be seen by referring to yes
terday mornings dispatches as con-
tanned in the LEADER, has been reported
back to the house with a favorable
recommendation, and there is probably
no doubt that some time before the
present session of congress expires the
bill will become a law.
This then would seem to account
for what some people choose to term
delays in beginning work on this new
road. Everyone will see at once hat
it could not have been otherwise and
that the company is necessarily obliged
to await the action of congress before
it can safely m e the construc-
tion of the promised railroad.
