Cattle Diseases.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The first
comptroller of the treasury has given an
opinion to the commissioner of agriculture
in regard to his authority under the appro-
priation for ''Such disinfectiOn and Quaran-
tine measures as may be necessary to pre-
vent the spread of the diseases from one
state or territory to another" Under the
bill for the establishment of 4 bureau of
animal industries the first comptroller holds
that the power of the commissioner is
broad and unlimited as to the means to be
used by him to carry out the disinfection
and quarantine and that he can cause such
investigation as he deems proper and use
such means as he may think best to carry
out the purposes of the act. He says the
slaughter of infected animals may be or
dered if il is deemed best and any other
means employed that do not exceed the
limits of the appropriation.
Commissioner COlman to-day sent the
following dispatch 10 Gov. Marmaduke of
Missouri: 1t has been determined that 1

patton of pleuro-pneumOuia- l am pre-

No Help for Morrison.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Congressman
Morrison, the candidate for senatorial hon
ors from the state of Illinois, has been here
but one day, but long enough to discover
that the president does not intend to place
any patronage at his disposal in order to
enable him to advance his chances in
the contest. For this reason Mr.. Morrison
now declares with becoming modesty that
he is here in the sole interest of his con-
gressional constituents, looking after
pension cases and the like. There
are urgent reasons why the president
should not strain himself to aid Mr.. Nor
rison in the race for political promotion.
The Illinois free trader OH the tariff and
silver issue represents views wholly dia-
metric to the president and his secretary of
treasury. The people of the United States
now know enough of President Cleve-
land to know that he is man of con-
siderable will-power, and that he has no in
tention of receding from his position on the
silver question. He anticipates an agita-
ton of this question as soon as congress
meets next winter.

TWO MINISTER'S DECLINE.
Layvton Will Not Go to Russia or
Kelly to ItaIy--AppOintme

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Mr. Lawton
has declined the Russian mission. An in
innate friend received telegram from him
to-day requesting him to convey to the
president his desire to decline. 1t is un-
derstoOd that he does this to relieve the
president of all embarrassment, and to
avoid possible controversy III the senate
next session.
When Mr.. Lawton came here two weeks
ago the friend, who to-day received his mes
sage of declination, said to him that st.
Petersburg was not a particularly attractive
place. He reminded Mr.. Lawton that one
or two American ministers had been frozen
to death at that frigid post. He represented
to him that the place was not worth con-
test. Lawton replied that he did not come
to fight for it, but on the contrary, he had
come to say to the president that he wished
to relieve him from all embarrassment. He
did say this to the president the next
day. The president responded that he
proposed to act in accordance with the
opinion of his attorney general, to whom
the question had been referred. This opin-
ion was favorable to Mr.. Lawton's position.
1t declared that the Andrew johnson par
don removed Mr.. Lawton's political disabil-
not and did not restore them. Upon this
opinion there can be no doubt the president
would have appointed Mr.. Lawton, had the
latter not declined the place. The Russian
mission may be offered to Gen. John B.
Gordon, of Georgia.
Kelly WILL. DECLINE.
Anthony NJ Kelly of Virginia, recently
nominated and commissioned United States
minister to Italy, will decline the position,
not wishing to embarrass the administra-
ton by reason of objections that might be
urged against him by the Italian govern
ment. Mr.. Walker j. Feam of Louisiana
qualified to-day at the state
department as minister resident
and consul general to ROu-
mania, Servia and Greece. George II.
Williams, who was appointed United
States minister to Hayti, March last, will
be superseded as soon as his successor can
be determined upon. The president to-day
appointed Christian NJ. Siebert of New
York to be secretary of the legation of the
United States at Chill. He also appointed
the following postmasters: Francis NJ.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Secretary Bay
ard continues to be the pivot of attack made
against the new administration. The
charge is made that he is filling important
diplomatic posts with men not only wholly
untitled for diplomatic duties, but un-
American in their instincts. The most
strenuous objection is made against Minister
Phelps because of his alleged ahstocracy.
This is one of the foreign posts which, more
largely than any other, has an in
fiuence on American politics, and
has a bearing upon the Irish vote.
1t is estimated that because OF Minister
LOwell's unpopularity with Irish-Americans
the Republican party lost enough votes to
have turned the scale in its favor. Phelps,
it is said will prove quite as unpopular, if
not more so than Lowell. He is charged as
one who will be swayed entirely by the
amenities of social life in London.
To add to the Indignation of many Dem
Ocrats now here seeking office comes the
charge that Secretary Bayard has appointed
a Blaine Republican to be consul general at
Melbourne, Australia. The appointee's
name is James NJ, Morgan, He is rela-
tive of Mr.. Dawson, the editor of the
Charleston Is. c. News, a print which
has always supported Mr.. Bayard's
presidential aspirations. So excellent a
Mugwump authority as the New York
Evening Post alleges that Morgan was an
ardent Blaine man, and published pam
phlet in New York during the campaign
advocating Blaine on account of his for
eign policy. Nothing was known of this
when the appointment was made. 1t is
not likely that the discovery that he sup
ported Blaine will occasion his recall, his
appointment having been made as il
was to please the Democrats of his state.
On Friday and Saturday of last week the
resignation of over sixty cOnsuls were
asked for by the secretary of state. This
is outward evidence that Mr.. Bayard has
in contemplation number of additional
appointments.

those rates should also go to pieces it would

Williams VIII Not Get There.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-George W..
Williams, the colored minister toll ayti, will
not be commissioned. His dispute with
Secretary Bsyard has cooked his goose. 1t
appears the charges filed against him at the
state department are that he borrowed
money from an American consulate while
abroad and forgot to pay it back. In ex-
tenuation Williams says the amount was
only SO and little thing like that should
not count. 1t is not thought that he will
be able to secure his bond, and it was the
conscientiousness of this that induced him
to make the attack upon Secretary Bayard
knowing that he could not hold the place
anyhow. But should he secure bondsmen it
is understood it will do him no good now,
as his attack upon the secretary is deemed
. sufficient cause for his removal.

have gone against him and the fortune he
realized has either been wholly lost or so
seriously impaired as to render the salary of

Moreover, he would fill the place as ably

The Omaha and Council Bluffs War
Special to the Globe

CHICAGO, April 21.-The railroad men
recovered to-day from the demoraliza-
ton in freight rates and were disposed to
regard the situation trife more calmly.
Although it remained equally as unsettled
and uncertain as before the 35 cent rate to
Council Bluffs and Omaha was the oSten-
sible basis of quotations. The greatest fear
was expressed that it would extend to Colo
RADIO and Utah business and ultimately to
the Pacific coast. 1t is difficult to under
stand how this can be prevented if war
continues for any length of time
as most certainly western shippers will be
quick to take advantage of low local rates
to the Missouri river. The Union Pacific
people are disposed to prevent the spread
of the reduction west of Omaha. Their
interest is much larger in the matter than
that of the other lines penetrating that
country, and the management has become
cautious and conservative. AS yet there are
no steps being taken to effect compromise
and it seems to be the opinion that there
will not be until the return of Marvin
Hughitt from New York.
