the Bureau of Animal Industry to ex--
tirpate pleurO-pueumnnia, the Breeders
Gazette of this city, charges lion. William
II. Hatch, the chairman Of the House Com

unit! too late TO secure consideration. Hon.
ID. W. Smith, president of the National
Cattle Growers Association and the Horse

who was one OF the committees maintained
at Washington TO perfect and urge this

Gazette of this week to the effect that no.
open hostility was encountered in Wash

only failed in its mission through
the policy of delay adopted by the Chair
man of the House Committee on Agricul-

destruction of animals actually dis

this was not satisfactory as there is no,
authority given for compulsory inspection
or for preventing the spread of the disease
inside State, and no machinery or details
provided for undertaking the work of eX--

KANSAS CITY, No., July 16.-Milton
Evans, the hydrophobia patient to whom
the maidstone was applied at the Central
police station Thursday night died at the
city hospital at two O'Clock yesterday after
noon. All night long the doomed man
walked the floor of the detectives office,
occasionally lying down on a cot which had

questions were asked of Mr.. Dickson, who
had applied the maidstone, and each one
was fresh torture 10 the miserable man
He knew that there was no hope and tried
to meet his fate like a man, but try as ne

had no hopes from the first, gave up the
case and Evans was removed to the city
hospital. Shortly after he arrived there he
was seized with a convulSion and became
so violent that he was tied down to his bed.
In his frenzy he imagined that
he was attacked by mad dogs.
and made frantic efforts to re-
pulse his imaginary foes. Then he thought
that there were two skunks in the room
and that their foul OdOr was smOtherlng
him. The commissions required at intervals
till two O'Clock, when he expired in one of
unusual violence. The commissions were
attended by frOthing at the mouth, dis
