WASHINGTON, March fS.-A petition
was presented by Mr.. Cullom from the
members of the Wyoming territory legis-
lature praying for additional compensa-
ton. Mr.. Hawley introduced a bill to
authorize the secretary of war to offer a
reward of $25, 900 for the rescuing or as
certaining the fate of the Greeley arctic
expedition. Mr.. Hawley said such a re-
ward might induce the ships cruising in
or about the Arctic seas to keep on the
lookout for the exploring party, or to turn
occasionally out of their course in order to
gather information about them.
The above is a plan suggested by
George KEENAN,, al arctic traveller, when
called before the Greeley relief board to
give his views concerning the rescue of
Greeley and his comrades.
The bill to aid in the establishment and
temporary support of COMMON schools
was taken up. 1t %appropriates the first
year Sl5. 00O, 900, the second year $l4,-
900, 900, the third year 3d. 900, 900, and
so on for ten years, decreasing one million
yearly, to be extended to the common
school for education. The expenditure of
each state has been on the basis of litter
acy, and Mr.. Blair addressed the senate
on the bill.
Upon the conclusion of his speech the
senate went into executive session and
soon after adjourned.

The Animal contagion Bill.

LONDON, March lS.-A deputation
from the leading towns will wait upon
Baron ~Carlingford, lord privy seal, to
urge the rejection by the house of COM
mons of the amendments to the contagious
diseases (animaD bill, which was adopted
by the house of lords. Dodson moved
for a second reading of the cattle bill. He
maintained that it would afford the great
est security possible to cattle owners and
do least possible injury to The
bill was talked out and the house ad-
journed.

House..

On motion of Mr.. Townshend, at the
at the conclusion of the morning hour,
the house went into committee of the
whole upon the postofice appropriation
bill. In speaking to the formal amend
ment, Aiken reviewed and severely crit
cised various features of the bill, declar-
ing it made the most niggardly appropri-
ations of any appropriation bill he had
ever considered. He was opposed to the
proviso limiting the compensation for the
mail service to land grant roads and said
that in spite of himself the thought would
rise up that there was a vicious legislation
behind the clause. After the committee
had discussed the matter some hours and
the great objector from Indiana had risen
and offerered an amendment to his own
bill. He took in then, the very roads he
had excluded in framing his bill. Though
he (Aiken) did not charge anybody with
having a lob in the bill, but that the ac-
ton had excited suspicion in his mind.
The next thing in the bill which attracted
his attention was the appropriation
of $4,000 900 for the star route
service and an additional imaginary
appropriation of 81, 0O0, 900. Where was
that 81, 600, 900? The postmaster gen
eral had said something about the unex-
pended balance of 81 900, 900, Why had
not the committee re-~appropriated the
whole of that sum? What was to become
of the 800, 900? In his mind there was
covert legislation, and right there he
criticized the committee for making no
provision for special mail facilities and the
radical excuse presented was that it had
not been estimated.
White, of Kentucky, and Randall
offered an amendment and Bedford ad-
vocated it. Randall said these who stood
heref for economy stood regardless of either
sneers or applause, having consciousness
o performing the public duty in an in
telligent and honest way.
Reagan's amendment was lost.-61 to
90.
The committee rose and reported the
bill to the house, the previous question
being ordered.
The amendments agreed to in commit
tee of the whole were then adopted with
the exception of that increasing by S4OO,
900 the appropriation for letter carrier
service which was rejected-yeas, 1913;
nays, 1877. The bill then passed-yeas,
100; nays, II and the house adjourned.

Veterinarian recommendation

BosToN, March lS.-The United States
Veterinary association adopted the follow
ing resolution, after the discussion on the
subject Of the foot and mouth disease.
ResolUed, That it is the opinion of the
association that the manure on the prem
ises infected with the foot and mouth dis
ease in the neighborhood of Portland,
Maine should be destroyed. That the
United States quarantine authorities are,
through carelessness and incompetency,
responsible for the spread of the infec-
ton, and hat the United States govern
ment is in monetary point of view respon-
sible for the loss to citizens in the
neighborhood of Portland end state of
Maine, That the roads which have been
trayersed by the infected animals and the
premises used by them should be properly
disinfected.

over lO0, 900 head. There is a wide diff
ference of opinion as to the ultimate
success of the system of carrying fresh
beef from 200 to 1000 miles in refriger-
ator cars. At present, however, a very
large percentage of the beef consumed in
the manufacturing cities and towns
throughout the New England states, New
York and New jersey, is transported in
this way. An illustration of the change
which has taken place during the past
two years, is furnished by the city of
Paterson, New jersey, which formerly
took from $50 to 200 cattle weekly from
the New York and Jersey City stock
yards; at present the same city does not
take more than a car load weekly. 1t is
estimated that the western dressed beef
which was received at New York and
adjacent cities and towns in 1888, was
equal to l 800 head of cattle per week.
One firm of Chicago butchers, it is stated,
supplies as many as ninety-six localities in
the east with refrigerator beef
Our export trade in both beef and live
cattle reached its maximum in 1881, the
value Of such exports for that year
amounting to 500, $50, las; however, it is
still more than twice as large as it was six
years ago and more than eight times as
as the average for the eight years
from 1866 to 1873, inclusive. The follow

The last dispatch from Gordon was dated
March IL.
The scene about the entrance of the
hous Sc of this afternoon, where
huiueiouo OOnlllOHs were SlltlHB, was Ol
the most unusual character. Clerks and
porters carrying bags and boxes to the
committee rooms were stopped by the
police and the parcels subjected to a
thorough examination to prevent the
possibility of the introduction of dynamite.
Marquis Harrington, war secretary, has
received the full text of Admiral Hewitt's
proclamation offering 81, 900 for Osman
Digma's head and has ordered its with
drawal in the most judicious manner
possible. Marquis Harrington stated this
afternoon in the hat he had
received a dispatch from Admiral Hewitt
explaining the reason for issuing the
proclamation. He asserted hat Osman
had killed two of his messengers and he
therefore considered the rebel chief a
murderer
