General Crooks Report Regarding the
Hostiles.
WASHINGTON, November 3Oth.-Adiu-
tant-General Drumm has received the fol-
lowing telegram from GeneIal Crook:
Sanchez brought into Fort Apache last even
ing the head of one Of the hostiles named Oeare
Quaiah. He also reports that the hOstiles are
killing all the White Mountain Indians they
can lind scattered over the reservation 1t
seems probable that up to this time they have
killed eleven women, four children and five
men and boys. The White Mountains threaten
retaliation. The Chiricahuas are remaining on
the reservations, but these are close to Fort
Apache, and carefully guarded. The Indians
on the reservation are extremely aroT,sed and
several parties of scouts and troops are hunting
the hostiles. All the Indian camps have been
notified, and there is reason to hope that more
of the hostiles win be killed.
Proposed Scheme for the Prevention of
Hog Cholera.
WASHINGTON, November 30th.-"H
cholera is raging worse this year than since
1873" says Judge Cowing, of the Bureau of
Animal Industry. The loss this year will
greatly exceed that of 1884. The annual
loss throughout the country for the last few
years has ranged between ten and twenty
million hogs. 1t is OF course impossible to
give anything like exact figures vet for this
year, but the loss will be between 20, ,0O0. coo
and 30,O0000O animals. The disease is to
be found in almost every county in the
country, though it RACES most, of course
i'll the West, where hog-raising is an i'm
portant industry We have about $500
correspondents in different parts of the
country. In few days we shall send out
a circular to each of them, asking for full
statistics regarding the cholera. No rem
edy has yet been discovered that can be re-
lied upon. What seems to help in one
locality appears to increase the fatality in
another. Like many other diseases, hog
cholera cannot be cured. The effort must
be to prevent it. DR.. d. L. Salmon. chief
of the bureau, is conducting series of ex-
perimentS for the double purpose of liscov-
erlng first, the nature OF the disease; and
secondly, some means of preventing it !"
The experiments are similar to those of
Pasteur and Koch in Europe, their purpose
being to discover how to prevent hog chol-
era by vaccination. The experiments are
being performed not only upon pigs, but
upon other animals The tests are ex-
pected to establish the fact that the disease
can be transmitted by other animals be-
sides hogs. though the results are not vet
settled definitely enough to warrant publi-
cation. There is good ground for believing
that by next year DR.. Salmon's expert
ments will result in developing method
by which the disease can be prevented as
surely as smallpox is now prevented, and
by similar means. The hog must be vac
cinated with virus which Will cause a mild
form of the cholera like the sickness
which follows vaccination to prevent small
pOX. When the method of incubation is
fully established, the Government will
furnish the virus in such quantities and at
such places that hog-raisers all over the
country can procure it. The hog cholera
bacteria are very nsignifcant-looking lit
tie creatures under the microscope. being
jelly-like masses about one Twenty-Five
thousandth of an inch in diameter. Statis-
ties from forty-siX counties in Nebraska
give the following results: The totel num-
Der of hogs was 1908. .595: the number
effected by cholera, 460. 463 the number
that died of cholera, 352,921 valued at
s., 2,445,77S.

The Purchase of the California and Ore
gon Road.
NEW YORK, November 30th-It is stated
on good authority that the sale of the un-
finished Oregon and Californ Railroad to
the Central Pacific has not been completed.
Negotiations had reached arrangements TO
issue S10,000.000 of Central Pacific bonds,
bearing 3 per cent. interest for three years
and . per cent. thereafter. with which to
take up all the Oregon-California bonds
and leave surplus to complete the road to
a connection with the Central Pacific, to
build from Corvallis TO the junction with
the Oregon West Side Line, and relay the
Oregon-California Road with steel rails.
Now the London lawyers have raised the
questions: First, whether the Central Pa
eitic under its charter can become the owner
of the California Road, and sec
ondly, if the United States Governments
lien on the main line of the Central Pacific
would not attach to and cover the Oregon
California # it was bought by the Central
Pacific
