The Bertholdi statue, formal
ly turned over the other day by
the French President to the
American Minister. is the larg-
est statue in the world. The
figure alone in sheer height and
without the coronet stands 105
feet, and the extreme length,
from the sole of the foot to the
end of the torch, is 1877 feet 8
inches. When the pedestal is
added it will have a height of
900 feet. AS the Colossus at
Rhodes stood only 14O feet. and
the Fleet street monument in
London, said to be the tallest in
the world is only 202 feet high,
some idea may be formed OF the
size of the Bertholdi effigy.

eral of the parishes of the State
are backward in the necessary
steps to be acknowledgements
ed at the Great WorldExposition

that others are moving jealous

opportunity of making known

as inviting the progressive
stranger to seek a home among

Progressive men and especially
the Police Jurors Of each parish

the matter. Comparatively lit

Jay Eye See Once More Pitted
Against Time.


SPRINGFIELD, Ills. August a.-Dr.
Paaren, State Veterinarian has submitted
to the Governor his report in relation to
the recent appearance of Texas or splenic
fever at Chicago. A post mortem exami-
nation held upon three of the diseased an
finals showed a trace of splenic fever. DR..
Paaren suggests hat the infected States
and Territories of the South, Western
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi,
Louisiana, the greater part of Texas, Ar
kansas, Indian Territory and Southern
Tennessee, including Kansas and Missouri
be subjected to a schedule by proclamation
from now until the LIST of September of
this year. All railroads and t~ransporta-
ton companies should be enjoined from
bringing in to this State any cattle from
the scheduled districts, unless the ship
ment is accompanied by I clear bill of
health and have come from the infected
belt Of country within sixty days prior to
the shipment.
The Governor has been notified by Sec
rotary Sturgis- of the Wyoming Stock As
ISOLATION, that cattle from the southern
ranges of Texas and infected with Texas
fever, are in Wyoming on their way to
Montana The Secretary says that native
cattle along the trails followed by the

Der of cases, taken the disease.

The English Lords are Handled
Without Gloves.
War Clouds Prevail Along the
French Horizon.
The Cholera Seems to be Losing
Its Grip.
Let the Lords Look Out.

BIRMINGHAM, August 5.-In connec
ton with the great reform demonstration
here yesterday, a meeting was held at
Bingley Hall. Twenty thousand people
were present. A speech was made by
John Bright and Joseph Chamberlain,
vice President of the Board of Trade.
Mr.. Bright said the Tory majority in the
House of Lords was actuated by the same
bitter hatred of the Liberals as in 1882.
who were the peers?' he asked. They
were the spawn of blunders, the wars and
corruption of the dark ages of our history.
They had entered the temple of honor,
not through the temple of merit, but
through the sepulchres of their ancestors.
They were no better than their fathers.
Some of them were worse, for their priv
ileges had produced ignorance and
a~rrogancy."
Reform of the House of Lords, Mr..
Bright declared, was urgent, and the in
evitable creation of new peers to pass the
Franchise Bill would only get rid of the
present difficulty. Should the people
submit or should they curb the mobiles as
their fathers had curbed the Kings of Eng
land? Bright then explained the manner
in which he would like to see the power
of the Lords restricted. He would allow
the peers to retain their present powers
during the first session; that a bill should
be presented to them but he would abso-
lutely preclude them from voting on the
franchise.
Mr., Chamberlain read a long and pow
erful attack upon the Peers. Divine
rights of Kings" he said, have been
acknowledged to be dangerous; the Divine
right of the peers was a ridiculous fig
ment. If the Lords remained obstinate
in the opposition to the popular will, the
present agitation would continue to the
bitter end. He looked forward with eager
hope to the result of this agitation. Eng
land was the chosen home Of a self gov
erned people who would never be subser-
Went to the i~nsolent p%retensions of the
hereditary class. The sentiments of the
speakers were received with enthusiastic
applause. A resolution was adopted de
nouncing the action of the Lords in reject
ing reform of the franchise.

A Pool Squabble.

CHICAGO, August 5.-The managing
officials of all railroad lines interested in
the transit Missouri business began assem-
bling here this morning and went into Sc
cret session at II o'clock. The Union
Pacific representatives did not arrive until
this afternoon, The first matter to be
brought up for settlement was that of the
Colorado rates which have been disturbed
ever since the formation of the combina-
ton between the Union Pacific and
Omaha roads to the exclusion of the Bur
lington until within one week ago when
they were temporarily restored, to await
the action Of the present conference. For
the proper maintenance of Colorado rates
it is contended by some managers that n
pool will necessarily be formed which will
include all Iowa lines touching at Omaha
and the Union Pacific and all Southern
lines. 1t is claimed, however, that SO
long as what is known as tripartite agree
ment between the Union Pacific and its
Omaha connections remains in force the
antagonized roads cannot be brought into
the pool covering Colorado and other
trans Missouri business owing to the fact
that under the tripartite agreement East
ern connections of the Union Pacific hold
arbitrary power in the making of through
Western rates Officials in attendance,
however, declare that the result aimed at,
namely, maintenance of rates on all COM
petitive Western business. can be satisfac-
torily arranged without a~ntagonizing any
present pool and hat the temper of all
roads now is to achieve that result.
The afternoon session was very brief,
and no action was taken owing to the
continued absence of representatives of
the San Francisco and Atchison, Topeka
4 Santa Fe roads. Mr.. james McMullen,
Vice President of the Chicago & Alton
road, has been elected permanent chair
man.

Iowa's Prohibition Muddle.

MuscATINE, Ia, August Judge
Hayes, of the Seventh Iowa Judicial Dis
trict, has rendered an important decision
as to the jurisdiction oil Justices of Peace
under the new Iowa prohibition liquor
law. Judge Hayes holds that Justices
have no jurisdiction to try, determine or
pass judgment upon cases under this law
other than to hold preliminary trial and
bind defendants over to the District
Court. The decision is based upon an
opinion that the penalties of the new
law exceed the jurisdiction of the Justices.
By this decision all liquor cases COM
menced here under the new law are dis
missed. The question is one of great i'm
portance and will be appealed to the Su-
preme Court.
