The difficulties with which the Rus

tend In their efforts to stamp out the
cattle plague are illustrated in u report
published In the Russian Echo. The

ravages, commission was recently
dispatched to Nicolaievsk, consisting
of veterinary officer, police oiii-

Enclosure. So far the various herds
men and owners showed no inclination
10 interfere, The examination of the
cattle proceeded, aud already three
animals had been condemned, slaugh-
tered, and their circassts cast into the
pits, when AN extraordinary crowd OF
fren2ied peasant women advanced
from the town, making horrible
clangor with all manner OF kitchen
utensils. Behind the women came
the men, armed with iire-irons,
bludgeons, fails, spades, etc. The pro-
ceedings of the commission were
stopped, and the veterinary officer and
his followers barely escaped with their
lives from the enraged multitude. The
women openly bewailed the escape of
the officers, whom they swore they
had intended 10 tear TO pieces.
