Cattle Diseases.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-De Witte Smith,
of Illinois, president OF the National Cat tie
Growers association, arrived in the city to-
night He is here for the purpose of secur-
ing the passage of bill to more effectively
prevent the spread OF pleuro-pneumonia and
@ her contagious diseases. The bill proposed
by the association which will shortly be in
troduced in the senate by Mr. Cullom, is
substantially the same as that
urged upon congress three years ago.
1t gives the commissioner of agriculture
authority to go iuto infected states and con-
denim, pay for and kill diseased cattle exposed
to contagious and ravagng diseases. This,
however is to be done in cooperation with
state authority In case state refuses to
cooperate with the national government in
the eradication of the diseases of cattle it is
proposed that the president shall have power
to schedule such states and prohibit the
transportation of cattle beyond its boundaries.
Mr.. Smith says misunderstanding
seems to exist as to the reason why compen-
sation is grant ed to owners of diseased cattle.
He SAYS it is not done for the purpose OF re-
imbursng cattemen for losses sustained, but
because it is thought good policy to grant
some compensation. in order that they will not
compel the existence Of the disease. Cattle
men believe, Mr.. Smith says, that 1T the ieg1s-
lation proposed by them be enacted into
law. pleuro-pneumonia and contagious dis
eases can be eradicated in three or four
years.

BE Nh ora Dy n f1eaF
PITTsBURG, Dec. IA sudden and heavy
decline in oil to-day caused panic at the eX-
change and the dumping of large lot of cer-
tificates on the market. The session opened
with weak feeling, bearish field news having
a depressing influence. The tr ST sale was
made at soc, and gradual decline to 7.1ac
foIlowoi. Prices then remained without ma
terial change until shortly before noon. When
the bears made a terrific onslaught on the
market and values dropped in very lew
minutes to 7171c. SIC below the opening. A
scene of the widest excitement ensued. The
holders of long oil did everything possible to
stem the current. but without avail, and be-
coming panic stricken commenced unloading.
At II nc. however, the decline was checked,
and with strong effort the market rallied to
1870 at O'Clock this afternoon. Only one
failure occurred here. F. NJ. Hayes one of
the leading brokers, was unable to meet his
contracts. and 1900 barrels were sold out
under the rule for his account. The money
difference is not known. The afternoon
sion of the exchange was not marked hy any
of the exciting features of the morning. al
though the feeling was decided feveliah.
After the drop to Lc prices rallied to 7424c
at O'clock, but sagged of again with ces-
sation of buying, and closed rather weak at
72]sc. The days transactions were very
heavy and will probably reach 7,OOO0UO oar
rels.

57A cents per barrel. One broker, who had
been endeavorng 10 sell, said that the bottom
seemed to have dropped out of the market,
and there was no unusually large blocks
thrown out to cause the decline. Before the
decline the opening OF two new wells in the
oil field prod ucing about 1000 barrels per
day, was announced, but this was not gen
orally considered sufficient cause for such
sudden break. Alter 4 O'Clock a short reac-

Fse Must Hang.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 7.-Decisions by
the supreme court were handed down to-day.
That of principal interest was one by Judge
Black, in the case of the State VS.. James Pay
ton. This case comes from Christian county,
and the following is its history: On the 18th
day of April, 1885, Payton and his brother.
William, attempted to assassinate L. t.
Matthews. who was moving his family. Both
fired t him with rifles. Matthews was
slightly wounded, and an infant child of his,
which was in the arms of his wifes sister, was
shot through the head and instantly killed.
Both of the Pa ton boys were arrested. Upon
trial James s. Payton was convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree. An appeal was taken
to the supreme court. where the Judgment
of the lower court was was affirmed and Pay
ton sentenced to be hanged Frioay, Jan. IA,
1887. Payton is only 16 years old. and it is
said that strong effort will be made to in
duce Gov. Marmaduke to commute his SEN
tence. 1t is thought that the governor will
not do So for no person under Is years of
age can be com mitted TO the penitentlary in
this state, and should the sentence be COM
muted the prisoner could obtain his freedom
by habaes corpus proceedings. This has oc-
Cured once before, an it is likely that he
governor will not allow it TO happen again.

Refused Ccmmutation by the
Governor.
Important Decision by the Supreme
Court in Regard to Foreign
Criminals.
Rumored Capture of the Mexican
Opera Swindler--A..Je Jewish
Rabbi Robbed.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. IA deliberate and
cold-blooded murder was committed in this
city at an early hour this morning. At about
O'Clock boy rushed into the police station
and stated that man had been shot by his
wife in rooms occupied by Emil Penseyres
and his wife in the Miller block. Officers i'm
mediately proceeded to the place. They were
met by woman who appear ell to be in a high
state of excitement. She said her husband
was in bedroom. A cloth had been nailed
over the window. In the bed lay the body of
EmA Penseyres. A bullet haG penetrated his
heart. The shooting occurred at about q.
m., according to the best reports. and the
man was evidently lying asleep in bed when
the murderess fired the fatal shot.
Every indication was that the woman de-
liberately shot the man in his sleep. The DIS
covery of her deed seemed to drive her into
frenzy. The pistol she used had been thrown
under the bed. She managed TO regain pos
session of it, fourished it in the faces of the
officers and screamed that she never would be
arrested. They telled her to the floor and.
after Il severe struggle. succeeded in getting
the revolver away from her. The only remark
she made on her way to the station was that
her husband "never used her right" He was
some years her junior and woOdworker by
trade. 1t is said that she was formerly an in
mate of a house OF ill-fame.

That Mexican SvvindIe.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE enterprising pei
son who recently sold $4,000 worth of un-
authorized tickets for the Patti concerts in
Mexico, has been captured, it is believed. by
Mexican detectives. From dispatches re-
ceived at Henry E. Abbeys office. in this
city, yesterday, il is supposed that the swind-
Ter has been found within thirty miles of the
City OF Mexico. The man is supposed to be
one Charles BourtOn, an alleged Partisan
journalist, who lived at 5S Clinton place. in
this city, for a few weeks last fall. The in
formation contained in the dispatches was
very meager. and it was not known positively
by Mr.. Abbey's representative i'll this city
yesterday that BourtOn, or whoever he is,
has actually been arrested. 1t was known to
certainty however, that the man was under
police surveillance and would not be allowed
to leave the country. 1t is thought that there
was a very good chance of the recovery OF the
money,

Judge John Davis delivered the opinion.
The general principles decided in May are
re affirmed, and the court considers in detail
other points. holding that a vessel could not
be legal condemned on the single ground
that the crew did not confirm to French
laws: that the decisions of prize courts are
not binding on the political departme of
foreign governments: that an appeal to the
court of list resort in France was not neces-
sary 20 the validity of the spoliation claims.
because such an appeal would have been
useless or impracticable, and because France
did not require it as condition precedent to
a recovery of indemnity. The opinion dis
cusses the laws of nations as applied to
neutral rishts, and holds general Y. while
reserving particular cases for discussion
upon their individual merits that the con-
duet of France towards American commerce
prior to 1SU0 was illegal.

FOR ERGN R.NIANALS.
The Extent of the Jurisdiction Ex-
ercised over Ihem by the United

WASHINGT ON, Dec. IAN interesting and
unusual case came up for argument in the
supreme court to-day under the title of ''The
King of the Belgians, by Charles Mali. consul
against the keeper of the common
jail of Hudson county, New Jer-
sey." The facts out of which this inter-
national controversy b as arisen are briefly
as follows: On the 10th of last October there
occurred on Loard the Belgian steamship
Nordland, ing at her dock at Jersey City,
Il e. ut between her sailors, in the course of
which one of them. Widen Hus, stabL ed and
killed another named Fgens, both Belgian
subjects. The police authorities arrested the
murderer aud two other sailors who were
Witnesses OF the tight, and imprisoned them
in tue jersey City Jail. The Belgian consul.
acting under instructions from his govern
ment, demanded the release of all the pris-
OnerS upon the ground that the crime was
committed within the jurisdiction of the
Kingdom of Be!gium and that under the law
of nations the treaties between the
United States and Belgium he, as consul, had
sole authority in the premises. The demand
for the release OF the prisoners was refused,
whereupon the consul sued out writ of
habeaS corpus. and upon the dis missal of the
writ by tue United States circuit court
brought the case to this court by appeal.
THE PRINCIPAL QUESTION
raised by the appeal us stated by counsel for
the king of the Belgians, Is whether toreig n
nation, when it may choose TO assert the
privilege, has the right to control the inter-
national order of its own ships, both civil and
criminal, even when III the ports of another
nation, provided the tranquility OF such other
state be not involved. or persons within its
jurisdiction concerned. Counsel for the New
Jersey authorities maintain that every per-
son coming within the jurisdiction of a state
is subject to its laws, and owes local aliegi-
ance in return for the protection offered by
the government, and there is no law which
would allow the crew of every foreign mer-
chant vessel lying in the port of New York to
slaughter one another with impunity and
defy the local authorities, on the grounu that
by international law they must be sent home
for trial,
