EMPoRIA, Kan, March l7,-The action OF
Governor Click in conveuing a special ses
sion Of the legislature has been heartily com
mended, and resolutions to this effect have
been adopted at several meetings of cattle
farmers and stockmen throughout this sec.
tion.
The feeling here among stock men is much
better than at any time since the outbreak Of
the disease This is doubtless attributable to
the action taken by the governor as they car
now see the way TO effective measures being
taken to prevent the dissemination of the
malady by controlling the movement of the
herds that may be affected. The excitement is
also subsiding in Woodson county, and there is
consequently an. indication that the quaran
tine there will not be maintained. This is to
be regretted, as the good work, once begun,
should be continued until the quarantine
committee is relieved by action of tine legis-
lature. It is only by strict vigilance that
the spread of the disease in that locality can
be prevented, and the restraint that has been
put upon the infected herds can only last q
few days longer

Lowell ON the Cattle Infectiou.

WASHINGTON CITY, March I7-Secretary
Folger has sent to Representative Hatch,
chairman of the committee on agriculture, a
letter from Minister Lowell in which he saws
that the recent prevalence of the foot-and-
mouth disease not only caused great
osses and greater app thensions
among the farming population of England
but has been adroitly used by the friends OF
protection and the enemies of the party in
power for the purpose of bringing to the
surface and rendering active certain
amount of political discomfort. A bin re-
stricting the importing of foreign cattle has
been passed by the house of lords, AMI gone
to the commons. Lowell says that should the
protectionists succeed in bringing about any
thing like the exclusion of foreign
cattle there would soon be an even more pow
erful action brought about by higher prices

Tribune from Effingbam, ns, says:
EFFINGHAM, Ills. March 15-Another day
spent in searching for information about tho
disease affecting the cattle of Effingham and
Cumberland counties brings to light evi-
dence showing that the suspicious that the
malady extends over line Of some miles,
was well founded
At Montrose information is received from
three or four informants of several locations
in which cattle had lost their feet within the
last two or three months. 1t was learned
that John Mason, living eight or ten miles
southeast Of Montrose, has lost some cattle
recently from the disease described in pre-
ceding reports from his place.
David KILLER, living four miles east of
Island Grove, has five or six diseased cattle
on his farm, as has also Joseph Rogers, who
lives i'll that vicinity.
Considerable interest has been felt in Mont
rose and vicinity, and this feeling is growing
into one of excitement. The general desire
Is that the state or the general government
s ouli promptly aud thoroughly investi-
gate the cases; that strict embargo may be
placei upon the stock in the infected dis
tlicts, if the disease shall be found to be
contagious; and that if it shall be found, as
is still hoped, that the disease is non con
| tagious, the fact may be published Until
this shall have been done, the livestock
traffic Of this whole region will be injured
! seriously by the suspicion with which it will
be regarded
At Montrose on the farm of John Bolen,
| seven cattle were affected year ago by a
disorder very like that now causing SO
much concern here. These seven mingled at
will with seventy other Cattle yet were the
only ones affected. This is held by people
| here to furnish strong presumptive evidence
that the present trouble results from freezing
the foot and limbs.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, March 1.-THE
Hon, John Walker, auditor of state, received
ie,tef from 7. {. Campbell, of kirksville,
A air county, in the northern part of this
state, informing him thai the foot-and- mouth
disease had broken out among the cattle OF
that section, and asking for information as to
the treatment of the disease, and also de-
string to know what laws, if any, related to
the matter. Mr. Walker, who is a successful
and experienced farmer, and president of the
State Agricultural society, replied that
prompt and effective measures should at
once be adopted to Isolate all infected and
exposed animals to prevent the possibility of
their coming in contact with other animals.
In all cases where the disease is
fully developed in its malignant form
Especially in the mouth the safest
meth d is to kill the animal and
burn the entire carcass, thus destroying the
germs Of the disease. All feed and lots and
stables occupied by diseased animals should
be Immediately and vigilantly quarantined
against The statutes of this state forbid
under heavy penalties the shipment into it of
infected cattle from Texas, Mexico, or the
Indian territory. and also provides for the
killing Of cattle affected with contagious dis

Missouri, were affected with the foot and

"It is very serious undoubtedly" he re-

through the house at once. 1t would
be impossible to get the house
to pass resolution making special appro-
priation for particular locality This bill

needed, and there would be no difficulty in
stamping out the disease if the senate would
at once pass the bill.
where do you suppose the disease comes
from?"
From imported cattle, undoubtedly" Mr.
Hatch replied.
The statement that the senate had passed
the bill appropriating S50, 600 for the extirpa-
tion of the disease was incorrect. The senate
laid the motion over and adjourned
