As was to be expected, the people Of
Duluth, and especially the boomers
of the Future Great, have been cOnsid-
efably excited since the alliance be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the
Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie AID At
lantic railroads, by means of a bridge
at Minneapolis, and union terminal ia
eilities at that point, were determined
upon. They see in the proposed direct
route east outing of from Duluth
much of the east bound traffic that
would otherwise go by lake. The inn
portance of Duluth rs terminus of the
Northern Pacific would thereby be dim

The Pacific coast members received about
81, 300 apiece in mileage alone. and, as they are
presumed to travel with passes, the money goes
far towards paying winter board bills. The

Territory, who before the completion of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, was obliged to travel
overland to Portland, Ore thence by steamer
to San Francisco, and over the Union and Cen

81 100 mileage each session.

were gazing in curiosity at them when one of

carried CONSERVATION into the ranks of the

Lonestreet's Bad management.

WAsHINToN, Jan. lit is understood that
the official affairs of General Longstreet. United
States marshal for the Northern District of
Georgia. are in an unsatisfactory condition,
Recently, it appears two of his bondsmen be-
came uneasy and discontinued on account of
what they regarded his loose management of the
Office, and demanded to be released from his
bond 1t is also reported that some time ago he
sent in a large account for expenses, etc, which
upon examination was found incorrect in so
many particulars that the dsallowances by the
examiners in the Department of Justice amounted
to some ST., 900.
General Longstreet's troubles are attributed
wholly to his inaptitude iii the management of
the business details of his Office and in no re-
spect whatever to lack of integrity or honesty of
purpose.

Cslttle Men.

Cattle AIen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA meeting of the
members of the House committee on agriculture
and members Of the committee of cattle men ap-
pointed recently by the Chicago convention was
held at the capital to-day. A general discussion
on contagious diseases among cattle was INDUCED
in The committee of cattle men, in answer to
the inquiries of representatives said that disease
existed in Delaware District of Columbia, Mary
land, Pennsylvania Virginia, Connecticut, New
York, and possibly in other places, In New
York few counties were reported infected.
Mr. Hunt Of New Jersey, said if Congress would
appropriate an adequate amount payable to the
order of the authorities of the different States
and protect New Jersey for six months from the
importation of diseased cattle. The State in
six months could stamp out pienro- pneumonia
in its territory.
DR.. Law, Of the Cattle Commission of the
Treasury Department, said the disease was un-
doubtedly the result of importation. He said
with plenty of money and a federal law it could
be eradicated in two months. New York city
had at one time stamped it out in three months.
He advocated the burning of buildings where
the disease occurred.
Judge Carey of Wyoming. gave history Of
the disease, saying it was like Asiatic cholera.
II exists on the continent of Europe, Great
Britain, Australia, New Zealand and this coun-
try. If the disease manifested itself in the
West it could not be stopped It is said 800,
100000 is invested in the cattle business in the
United States
Representative Hatch said Mr.. Singleton, of
Illinois, offered 81, 900 reward for an animal in
fected with pleuro-pneumonia. but one ac-
cepted. Several members of the Cattle Commits
sion at once offered to show the disease to any
one doubling its existence.
Representative Weller gave notice that he
would offer a bill appropriating $40, 600, 900 by
the government for the suppression Of contagious
diseases among cattle, to be distributed among
the States and Territories in ratio to their repre-
sentation in Congress, provided that each State
give sum equal to the amount to be given by
the government
The legislation proposed is TO make the ship
plont of cattle known to be diseased penal Of
Tense, establish cattle bureau in the Agricul-
tural Department, increase the power of the
Commissioner of Agriculture. provide funds for
an elaborate investigation of diseased cattle, and
provide an appropriation for the purchase OF dis
eased cattle, SO that they may be destroyed. An
appropriation will be asked for the first year Of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE report from Ber-
lin that Bismarck has directed inquiries to be
made in the maritime provinces Of Germany as
n f,e propriety of exempting them from the
operations of the prohibitory legislation in rela
ton to American pork is regarded here being
a prompt acknowledgment Of the power of the
United States to infct serious damage Ger
nan interests by retaliatory measures Tho as
tuteness of Bismarck in trying to ward this off
by prompt action is recognized, as it is certain
that the subject will be agitated in Congress.
AS sample of the expressions which are heard
on the subject, Governor Curtin, chairman Of
the committee on foreign affairs, said that he Is
decidedly in favo! of retaliatory measures. and
he would lay an embargo ON every articles shipped
from Germany and France to the United States
