PLEUR0-PNEUMONIA.
Mr.. Sanders Replies to Emory Storrs's Criti-
cism of the Bill for Its ExtirpatiOn.

CHICAGO, March 23-J. H. Sanders, proprie-
tor of the Breeders Gazette, and a member of
the United States treasury cattle commission,
will reply to EmoryA. Storrs's argument against
the ple%uro-pneumonia bill now pending in the
Senate. He Indignantly repels the assertion
made by Mr.. StoIrs that any member of the
commission, or any one in its employ, has been
directly or indirectly responsible for the recent
false reports touching the existence Of the foot
and mouth disease in the West. On the con-
trary. he points to the fact that the first authori-
tative and positive contradictions of these false
reports cameron Simon Beattie and DR.. Paaren,
experts sent by Mr.. Sanders himself at his own
expense to the infected districts in Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas, and whose reassuring reports
were given to the public through the Associated
Press. He instances the excitement and conse-
quent damage to the Western cattle interest
possible arguments in favor of some such legis-
lation as that now pending in Congress, to the
end that this great interest may be protected
from the effects of baseless scares, gotten up by
ignorant cow doctors on one hand. and from
mercenaTy and reckless operations of unscrupu-
lous brokers and traders on the other. He as
serts it is an open secret in Chicago that Mr..
Storrs Is the representative of a combination of
dealers chiefly interested in handling Texas cat
tie or Eastern dairy calves, and whose unre-
stricted operations are regarded by cattle raisers
of the West generally as extremely dangerous.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
The Republican, and Readjusters still Hope
full of Carrying the State.

The Republicans and Readjusters Still Hope
full of Carrying the State.
Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
WAsHGNGToN, March 23-Congressman John
5. Wise, member at-large from Virginia, says
that all hope of redeeming the State from Bour-
bon rule at the coming election is not yet aban-
doned by the Republicans and Readjusters. The
Bourbons, he says, have gained control of nearly
all the election machinery of the State, but with
a thoroughly harmonious campaign and a first
class ticket he still has hopes of securing the
electoral vote for the Republican nominee of the
the Chicago convention. There will be a ire
mendous fight, and no stone will be left I'M
turned by the Bourbons to overthrow the com
bined votes of the Republicans and Read
iusters, but he thinks, properly conducted,
the campaign will result in Republican success.
Mr.. Wise thinks that the metropolitan papers
which have attacked Malone and the Coalition
party are responsible for the defeat of the Gen
eral last fall, but he has hopes that the vampires
are satisfied and that, instead Of aiming to defeat
the man who has done more for Virginia than
any other since the war, they will now see the
necessity Of joining hands with the best ele-
ments in Virginia to the end that the Old Do
minion may again be the first of the Southern
States to break loose from the solidity Of the
Confederacy.

"Well, they will vote with the Republicans,
unless this Congress does something to help
them. am inclined TO believe the bill prohibit

passed, however, and that will satisfy US TO some
extent"
but will not the tariff question turn nearly
