The railroads are getting ready for sum-
mer business.
OF late rumors have been current that
John c Gault had been offered the posi-
ton of general manager of the. Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad. The
reason given for the proposed change is
that the health of General Manager Merrill
CONTINUES 50 s;ouraging, that speedy
restoration has been rendered well nigh
hopeless.
As the Rock Island election approaches,
interest in the outcome of the Vanderbilt
Porter fight increases. That Mr. Porter
will be reelected is reasonably sure, but
by materially reduced majority, Van
derbilt is apparently securing large
number of proxies, and his candidate will

LONDON, April 30.-The compromise amend
ment proposed by George j Todson, render
ing that portion of the cattle bill which COM
pels the privy council to prohibit the impor
tation of diseased cattle obligatory for only
two years. was adopted by the house of com.
mons by a vote of 3j1 to 800
Heretofore tue privy council has simply
closed port from which infected cattle
have been shipped, generally naming the
period at from thirty to sixty day;
for the first case, and then IA yeaI
for the second. Under this ruling France
and Germany have for over two years
past, been exiled. Now, should q
cargo of American cattle infected with any
disease come from New York, Boston OF
Portland, all ports in the United States
would be considered as closed by the privy
council, and no cattle from the United
States would be allowed TO land in Great
Britain for the period of two years. The
legislation is aimed at the United States
Canada and Denmark are now the only
