Killing Effected Cattle.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The Inter OCEAN
has the following from Washington: 1t
is a curious thing that Attorney General
Garland should have countermanded his
pleuro-pneumonia decision within six
hours from the time it was issued. Men
interested in stock raising in Kansas and
the Indian Territory are known TO have
exerted influence to have this decision
made, and they are mad with disgust at
the action Of the attorney general in can
ceiling his decision that DR.. Salmon. chief
of the veterinary division. could kill cattle
Supposed to be infected and that the
government should pay for all such cattle
killed by official order. The belief OF
tains ground with men who have some
knowledge of the matter that a gigantic
steal was intended, and that the attorney
general was informed jsut in time to save
him from very unpleasant consequences.

that if war is forced on the Afghans they
will rise as a single man to repel the in
vaders, but as between England and Rus
STA, if left to our own independence, l
will protect peace between these two
states and cling to neither. The aim of
the publication is to show that Russia de-
sires to protect the neutrality of Afghan
istan. 1t is reported that Baron de
Staal, in an interview with Earl Gran
vile, stated that the advance of the En-
glish advance toward Candahar would be
the signal for the Russian occupation of
Herat. Russia, he said, would not admit
OF the right of England to form a protec-
torate of Afghanistan, and would insist on
that country remaining neutral.

LONDON, April 29.-The Standard.
referring to the occupation of Meruchak
by the Russians, says there can be nc
question of Afghan proyocation in this
instance, the occupation of Meruchak
stands out broadly and undisguised as a
clear invasion Of the territory of Afghan
istan, without ever the pretense of mill
tary necessity. Assuming that the news
of the occupation of Meruchak are cor
rect, there is little room for doubt that it
can be considered anything else than a
deliberate act Of aggression; and this act
OF aggression has the appearance of being
specially chosen in order that there may
be no possibility of further mistake. 1t
Is a deliberate breach of a solemn cove
nant, aud a fragrant violation of Russian
promises and assurances.
LONDON, April 29.-The Times, in a
review Of recent past actions, of Russia.
says that the spirit displayed leaves little
hope that England's last ovcrtures will be
accepted. The refusal to treat upon that
basis will lead to a diplomatic rupture.
which is but little removed from actual
war.

government and upon the action of Rus
STA since the beginning Of the existing
