Prevention of This Disease.

OE ms D1SeaHGs
When the congress came to order in the
afternoon the president read an invitation
from Secretary Judson of the State Agri-
cultural society to the delegates to attend
the state fair, which was unanimously ac-
cepted with thanks. The committee on
resolutions submitted further report. The
first resolution expressed the sentiment of
the congress as in favor of law and order
and opposed to anarchy, Endorsed the recent
ACTON OF the city OF Chicago toward pro-
tectlng society, also indorsing the recent
action OF the war department in accepting
lands from the city of Chicago for
the establishment of a garrison there.
The motion was tabled. The committee
offered resolution reciting the present ex-
lStence of pleuro pneumonia in England and
Scotland. and its discovery in cattle i'm
ported into this country. and asking the
secretary of the treasury to withhold his
permission for the importation of cattle
from those counties, to which was added,

this disease being brought to this
country" by Mr.. Hudson of Louisi-
anna. Vice-President Smith had
been called to the chair, President Boards
ly spoke against the resolution III that
form. If retaliatory measures against
England and France, where our cattle
could only enter by being killed at the port
of entry, were intended, then it should be
so stated in the resolution. j. Irving Pierce

in Illinois, favorable to the sentiment Of
the resolution. DR.. Harvey of Pennsyl-
vania thought the quarantine laws were
sufficient. Mr.. Coffin of Iowa emphatic

being called on stated that the disease had
caused damage to England of over $780,
OG0, 600, and that the guarantees in this
country were very lax, practically worth
nothing. Mr.. Brown of Mississippi offered
substitute calling on the secretary of the
interior to investigate and take such action
as he thought proper, but it was voted
down and the resolution was adopted.
j. B. Conner here called attention to the
amendment adopted to the first resolution
adopted at the morning session relative to
pledging the delegates to vote only for con-
gressmen in favor of the department of
agriculture. He moved its reconsideration
and characterized it as school boy threat
tackled on to dignifed request to congress.
The reconsideration prevailed and the por-
ton OF the resolution was Indefinitely post
poned.

and st. Paul. When Mr.. Handel of Penn
sylvania nominated Pittsburg he named as

that the roll of delegates be called for

highest number of votes be dropped from
the list. The vote resulted: Washington
II, New Orleans 81, Chicago 80, lndianap-
oils 10 and st. Paul 1. The roll of states
was then called on Chicago and New Or
