Pleuro- Pneumonia.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Dr. Sal
mon, Chief of the Bureau of Annual In.
dustry, has submitted a report to the
Commissioner of Agriculture relative to
the investigation of pleuro-pneumonia
among &e\cattle of Illinois. He has
found eight cases in the vicinity of Chi
cago, two near Sterling, four near Peoria,
one near Springfield, and a number of
reported cases that have not yet been
traced. Salmon says; 1t is impossible
for me to get experienced men to assist
me without moving them away from my
work in New York and Brooklyn and this
/ do not want to do until absolutely nee
essary. Men who have had no experience
with pleuro-pneumonia would be useless.
Illinois has good laws and the State Vet
erinarian and Governor will issue a proc
lamation on the subject and direct the
isolation Of the infected herds and the
slaughter of diseased animals, | shall
soon direct my attention to other States.
Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky have re-
ceived animals from the infected herds, 1
telegraphed the Governor of Kentucky a
few days ago in regard to the animals that
vent there. We have not been able to
decide which of the animals brought it to
the Virginia sale, but the one that came
from Dye, of Ohio, was sick with infia-
nation of the lungs, supposed at the time
to have been the result of exposure. This
is the most likely origin of the disease,
and if the suspicion proves correct, it
makes the matter still more serious. Dye
is the most extensive Spectator in jersey
cows in the country and has sent cattle
into nearly every herd in the Wess. If
his herd is infected the disease must have
been sent to nearly every State in the
Union. | shall investigate this matter as
soon as possible and if the infection is
traced to Ohio, shall move all my men
that will come. | should consider
this a last resort. In the meantime l
shall indulge the hope that this will not
prove true. l will say positively this dis
ease is neither the result Of s%crofula nor
exposure to inclement weather or like
causes. 1t is contagious pleuro pneu-
monia, and l am just as certain of it as 1
am that such disease exists.
Acting Commissioner Carman has re-
fused the request of an Alabama cattle
firm to import a number of jersey cattle
for exhibition at the New Orleans Expo

clothing and furniture, but Mr.. Cooper
lost some valuable papers andh clothing.
While at General Hatch's camp l agreed
to go to Fort Smith or any place desig-

eral Hatch said his orders were to take me
to Fort Smith and he intended doing so.
