experience IN quarantine matters. He
also stated that the first regu-

vETOEs USELESS IN VIRGINIA.
The Legislature Again Shows Its Con-
tempt for the Governor.


RICHMOND, Feb. 14.-Gov. Cameron to-
day returned to the Legislature three bills
without his approval, The first was the
bill taking from Judges of the county and
corporation courts the power of appoint
ing registrars and judges of elections
throughout the State, and providing for
the appointment of these officers by elec-
toral boards composed of three citizens in
each county and city, said boards to be
chosen by the Legislature. The Governor.
i'll Yetoing the bill, says that its provisions
seem to permit, if they do not insure, an
entirely partisan administration of the
election laws of the State. The bill was
passed in both houses, Notwithstanding
the Governors objection, by the neces-
sarY twO-thirdS vote and is now law. The
two other veto messages We're in relation
to the bill removing from the Governor
the power of appointing officers of lunatic
asylum and transferring the same to
the Board of Public Works, and to the bill
yacating the offices of the present direc-
tors, etc., Of the same asylum. Both
bills We're passed over the Governors s
veto in the House, but action on them in
the Senate was deferred till tomorrow.

american retaliation on Germany to
he Met with Like Measures.
BERLIN, Feb. 14.-Die Norddeutsche
Zeitung says editOrially: '"The bill in re-
gard to hog products. which is now be-
fore the American Congress, is calculated
painfully to affect Germans who have ma
tiOnal interests at heart. The sting of the
bill is palpably directed against Germany
alone. Germany has always maintained
a friendly disposition toward America
and does everything possible to show
her friendship. This sudden anti-Germany
attitude on the part of America excItes
in US regret and astOnishment. We do
not assume that American statesmen are
disposed to entertain the opinion that
Germany can be induced by reprisals or
threats to rescind measures enforced in
the interest of her public health. An
independent government can only reply
to any attempt at intimidation by counter
reprisals, consisting in increased customs
duties, and eventually by legal measures
otherwise affecting the intercourse of the
two countries

they would all have been murdered. Then
