DIR. Paquin Thinks the Pleuro-Pneumonia
in Galloway County Under Control.
JEFFERSON CITY, May 1.-The following
is copy of communication addressed to
Governor Marmaduke by the State Veter-
mary Surgeon, Paul Paquin, concerning
peuro- pneumonia: 'In accordance to
your desire, l respectfully and conscien-
tionsly submit an explanation of the pres
ent situation in Fulton, TO the best
of my knowledge. l went to fulton
as private Investigator nearly three
weeks ago and STAYED there
four or five DAYS Before that, and during
that time, many suspected and diseased ami
mails outside of the Asylum herd, were
slaughtered nnder the direction of DIR.
Trumbower. Before l left, DIR. Mitchner,
United States Veterinary Inspector, and
Professor of the American Veterinary Col
lege, arrived and has been th,re ever since.
He says that the work of DR.. Trumbower
and the Apprais:ng Committee has been So
closely and faithfully carried on with the
little money at their disposal that the cattle
disease in Galloway County is COM
paratively under control now. Yester-
day we examined seyenty-four head,
among which seven had been sus-
pected at previous examinations. and we
found only two suspicious cases, and moth
ing positive even about them. These cattle
are at distance from one to three miles
from the asylum and they belong to seven
different farmers. l do not believe that
one typical case of contagious pleuro-pneu
monia has yet been further than eight miles
from Fulton, although some may have been
slaughtered at a greater distance on &C.
count of having been exposed. To my
knowledge there is not one single typical
,ase of the disease in Galloway County
yo-day. We want now few thousand dol.
lars to continue the work that. has been
pursued in killing all the cattle that had
a chance of becoming infected. The
most important part of the work has been
done in the matter of accurate researches
and determination. The people of Gala
way have given and are still giving, as /
am informed, a practical and vigilant quar-
antining among themselves, and they must
not discontinue this important part of their
duties. and other parts of the State ought
to aid them with their means to completely
extirpate this disease, which can be done
with a comparatively small sum of money
and in short t.ne."

PCST.OFFlCE REVENUES.
Great Succ of the Two-Cent Rate-Ex-
pacted Additional Revenues.

Great Succ of the Two-Cent Rate-Ex-
pected Additional Revenues.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 29.-Third
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen has
made a report of the effect during the first
year of the reduction of letter postage from
three to two cents. He says that the actual
revenue for the year ended September 80,
1884 (the first year during which the re-
duced rate prevailedl, was S42, 1S4, 500, OF
STAG, 500 less than the estimated revenNe
upon three cent rate. The loss by the
reduction of the rate to two cents was
S523, 100 less than the estimated loss. The
immediate falling Off in the issue OF posta,
cards was 1S.G per cent, amounting to 49,
O34. 2ST cards. Crediting the extra revenue
on letters from the loss on postal cards
with SS30,342 of the beneficial results of
twO-cent postage would leave 81, 961, 592 to
be divided between the benefits growing out
of the increased number of letters and
the substitution of sealed circulars fol-
open ones, the actual loss in revenue was
probably even less than this. In conclusion
Mr.. HaZen says: II will only add that the
results of two-cent postage have more than
realized the most Sanguine expectations of
its warmest advocates. When the law max
ing the single rate weight limit one ounce
instead of half ounce goes into effect, ii
will add to the revenues by inducing per
SONS sending light packages to send them
under seals instead of at parcel rates"

A SON OF MARS,

General Sheridan Does Not Like to Take
Orders from the Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-For number
of days rumors have been rife i'm the War
Department that an army order was forth
coming, which, when issued, would create
considerable surprise. While no authentic
information has been Obtainable from the
officials, it is understood the order will de-
fine the limit of the authority of the Lieu
tenant General of the army. 1t was an open
secret for months prior to Secretary Lin
coins retirement that controversy existed
between him and Lieutenant General Sher-
idan relative to the authority of the latter.
The Secretary of War finall wrote letter
to the Lieutenant General, IN which he de
fined the latter's authority. 1t is asserted
that General Sheridan has come i'm conflict
with the new Secretary of War in regard to
questions as to their respective rights of
command. April Q, general order was
issued for certain regiments to exchange
stations by June l. This order was 'By
command of Lieutenant General Sheridan"
1t did not contain the name of the Secre
tary of War, or the words, with the APP
prevail of the Secretary of War" Similar
orders, as shown by the records
when issued by General Sherman,
contained the name of Secretary Lin
coin. In the general order above referred
to. the Second regiment of artillery, sta
toned at Washington, was ordered to ex-
change with the Third regiment of artillery,
stationed in the Gulf States. Certain sur
geons of the army expressed themselves as
bitterly opposed to this change at this
season of the year. They said that it
would endanger the health of an unaccli-
mated regiment, and that the transfer
would be especially dangerous because of
the threatened sicllly season of the South.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 1.-The Official
Messenger to-day published a telegram from
General Komaroff. which is a reply to the
dispatch of Sir Peter Lumslen, the Brit
iSh Commissioner, denying the accuracy of
General Komaroff's report of the battle on
March 80, on the Kushk River, between tn
Russians and the Afghans. General
Komaroff, in the dispatch published to-day,
admits that he had received an order from
the Russian War Office previous TO the
battle not to occupy Penideh. but says the
other officers on the frontier had not vet
been advised of the receipt of such an or
der. Referring to the alleged advance OF
the Russian troops previous to the fight, he
SAYS: "Only Sonia of the TurcOmans had
advanced toward Penideh, but they had no
intention of attacking the AfghanS and
withdrew when the latter approached
them in hostile attitude. General
Komaroff reiterates his former asser-
ton regarding the audacity and annoyance
of the Afghans. then daily drawing nearer

"A telegram forbidding the occupation of
Penjdeh reached me on March %. | only
communicated to the commanders of out
posts and did not make it generally known.
General ZaZarzoski with my permission in
terviewed by correspondence some British
officers in a private capacity. l did not
admit their right to treat officially. l adj
dressed my demands direct to the COM

of Russians marched on the heights on the
right bank of the river, but did not reach
our videttes On the left bank of the
same river when the Atghans approached,
however, this one company, by my orders

concludes his dispatch: IN view of the

WASHINGTON. May IA statement pre-
pared at the Pension Office shows that the
business of the office during the month just
ended has exceeded that Of any previous
month. From the statement it appears that
5,370 original pension certificates have been
issued during the month of April. 1855.
against >. 734 during the same month last
year, and that the total number of pension
certificates was S199, being I.S66 in excess
of the number for April, 1884. The Com
missioner of Pensions has rendered de.i-
sion. subject to the approval of the SecIe-
tary of the interior, on the pension appica-
ton of Mrs. Emma DE Long, of the jean
nette. The Commissioner holds that the
officers and men who were on the Jeanette
expedition. were in the service of the Unite
States. and that the order of the Secretar,
of tine Navy, detailing De Long TO special
duty at New York and then to the COM
mand of the Jeanette, changed his status
from ''absPnt on leave" TO that of active
duty and, therefore, entities his widow to
pension.

Important DECISION.

FoIT SMITH, ARK, April 2s.-An opin-
ion of more than ordinary Importance was
rendered yesterday afternoon by Judge j.
c. Parker. of the Federal Court for the
Western District of Arkansas, in which
is involved not only the jurisdiction
of the court. but the title to tie disputed
Oklahoma lands, known as the Cherokee
strip. 1t was in the case of Connell Rogers,
indicted in the Federal Court at Wichita,
Kan, for burning some of the shanties of
the Oklahoma boomers at Rock
falls at the time of Payne's last
removal and arrest by the Marshal
Of the district An order for the removal
of the defendant to the Wichita court for
trial was asked, but Rogers fled petition
for writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that the Kansas court has no juris-
ton. In its opinion yesterday the
court held that the territory in which the
OfIense was committed, is in the Cherokee
Nation, and the Federal Court at Wichita
has no jurisdiction in the case, the
land having been patented to the
'.hcrokees in 1888 by the Government.
