The National Convention of Veterinarians
In Council.

CHICAGO, November 15.-yhe second an
nual convention of the National Veterina-
rian and Sanitary boards association began
here this morning. Professor II. s. Hy-
droOper of, Pennsylvania University in the
chair. In the opening the convention he
said that the veterinary and sanitary boards
of the states and territories had chosen wise
ly in meeting in Chicago the same week as
the Consolidated Cattle Growers associa-
tion, as sanitary questions affecting the in
terSsts of the cattle growers would be
brought forward, especially contagious dis
eases, such as pleuro pneumonia. When they
met last year they were prepared for wider
spread of this disease, but they we're scarce
ly prepared for the immediate outbreak of it
in Chicago. Some effort should be made in
congress for the better support of the bu-
reau of animal industry. There was want
of harmony between national and state leg
islation, which made it impracticable, or
very difficult, for the bureau of animal in
dustry to act with the state authorities in the
projection of the cattle industry from dis
ease.
At the afternoon session, papers on pleuro
pneumonia were read by DIR. John W. Gads-
den, of Philadelphia, and DR.. George G. Fay
vile, Colorado state veterinarian. In con-
nection with the paper General Kelley, of
Kansas. offered resolution that the United
States commissioner of agriculture be asked
to recommend that congress take charge of
the cattle quarantine DR.. Salmon, of the
government bureau of animal industry at
Washington said the only desirable policy
for the government to pursue was to at once
slaughter all exposed animals, and disinfect
the buildings.

The Chicago Strike.

CHICAGO, ILL, November 15.-Early this
morning the late striking employees OF the
packing houses assembled at their respect
i've headquarters, indicated in the sheriff {
order issued yesterday, and applied for en-
ployment. The crowd was orderly and per
fectly quiet. The foreman of the different
houses selected such men as they required
at once, and the remainder departed, evl-
IDENTIFY satisfied that they would be taken
back as soon as the houses were in full run
ming shape again. The number of old mem
bers employed this morning is between
l 200 and 800. Advices just received from
the wards indicate that no diff Guilty Is an
ticinated between the old and new en-
ployes.
The question as to what extent the old en-
Moves will be given precedence over the
new is literally discussed. At the packers
meeting Yesterday the situation was dis
cnssed in the light of the strike being de-
ciared off. All took Mr.. Powderly's order
calmly but we're plainly gratitied by it. All,
bowaver. were unanimous in the declaration
that no new men should be discharged to

CONCERNING THE MILITIA.

They Give Satisfaction to the Inspectors.
Washington, D. G. November 15.-The at
tOrney general has made public a number
of reports from army officers who were de-
tailed to attend and inspect the annual en-
campmeDts, and evolutions of the militia
of the states of Alabama, Maine, Michigan,
New Hampshire, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Indiana, Kansas, Connecticut, and
the territory of Dakota. The inspections
were confined to the states above enumer-
ated for the reasons that the governors of
the other states failed to request the war de-
partment to detail officers to visit the en-
campment5 of their states. While CRITICS.
ing in detail the various organizations,
for such as lack of uniformity in cloth
ing, poor attendance at roll calls, and a
disposition to shirk guard duty and other
onerous duties of soldier life, the
reports are unanimous In praislng the fine
physical qualifications of the men who make
up the militia, their excellence in drill and
tactics, and the earnest, manly efforts of the
officers to improve their commands and
maintain a high standard of discipline. A
general complaint is made of the poor quail
ity of the arms furnished the militia, con-
sisting in great part Of old, badly worn
and unserviceable Springfield and Sharp's
rifles. Most of the organizations showed
much interest in the target practicing, and
the Maine militia is especially commanded
for its marvellous skirmish firing. Several
of the reports speak of the crying need
of thorough, systematic instruction. The
material is said to be splendid, and zeal and
intelligence the rule, but lacking direction.
1t is suggested that the war department
should detail officers to report to the govern
ors of the various states to be assigned to
duty as instructor solely, with no command
whatever, and if this plan should be adopt
ed it is thought that the result would be of
great value to the states. 1t is recommend
ed that closely neighboring states accredit
visitors officially to the state encampment,
whose duty it shall be to take notes and re-
port upon matters of interest to the militia.
More study is found to be necessary, and
the use of dummies as blocks in tactical
stables is urged.

Fort KEoGH, MONTANA, November 15.-
Sunday eight Indians. with thirty stolen
horses, passed Browns ranch, on Arrow
creek. Brown seized his rifle, mounted a
pony and started after them. AS he ap-
preached the rear guard the thieves shot at
him and Brown returned the fire. S. E.
Erwin, Browns neighbor, came up, and the
two men started down after the Indians.
Erwin was sherding nineteen horses, and
while rounding them up, before going down,
he was fired upon by both sides. His own
horse took fright and ran away with his gun
and ammunition, leaving him afoot. Erwin
had to make a desperate run for life, and
managed to escape. The Indians then drove
off. Brown got Erwin's, saddle, bride, gun
and nineteen horses. They escaped with all
the plumber, crossing the mountains near
the great falls and travelling north. The
rsiding party are either Canadian Bloods or
American Piegans.

BENTON REINSTATED.
President Cleveland Explains his Action
in the Matter.

in the Matter.
WASHINGTON, D. O., November 1.-THE
correspondence in the Benton case was
made public by the president tonight. Un-
der the date of November 10th, Mr.. Benton
writes to Attorney Garland sitting forth
| that he performed faithfully and carefully
his duties as United States district attorney
for the Western district of Missouri during
| the time of the recent political campaign;
that he attended all the sessions of the court,
and when necessary to that end cancelled
political engagements. Mr.. Benton says IN
making speeches he relied on the clause In
| the presidents letter of July 19, which says
that individual activity in political affairs Is
not necessarily condemned.
The president to-day writes in reply to Mr..
Benton's letter. He says, its frank tone
convinces him of the truth of Mr.. BentOn's
statements. When he (the president) is
sued his warning to offceholders he antlcl-
pated designs on the part of his political en-
emies to annoy aud embarass him
concerning the indulgence of sp-
pointees of the administration IN
pernicious activity in politics. He did not
intend to condemn incidental speech max
ing but he thought that an official could not
properly lend himself to systematic cam
paigning. A printed list taken from news
paper and submitted to me contains engage
ments to speak, many by your consent,
| daily for quite long period, ana not 1nIre-
quently twice day in different parts of Mis-
souri,, and was led to believe on many of
the days specified the court at which you had
duties to prefOrm was in session. This
seemed to me to present case OF hagrant,
defiant neglect of official duties, and even
with the explanation given your course ap-
pears to be thoughtless, and at least subject
to criticism, but the statement in your letter
that you did not let campaign engagements
interfeer with the performance of official
duty, and your satisfactory discharge of such
duties during the term, and the belief in the
truth of yonr allegation that you honestly
supposed you might properly do all that was
actually done, have induced me to remove
you from Office, and to reinstate you to the
same. Yours truly,

AS to the calea MON necessary in pre-

fowls, and also thes soosting quarters,
the Poultry Keeper E>ys: Each hen
in house should have one foot on the
roosts. One hundred hens then would
require four roosts twenty-five feet long,
long, and to prevent hens crowding too
much upon the top roosts they should
all be on the same level. The roosts
should be one foot apart and be arrang-
ed in a frame hinged to the wall, SO they
can be lifted and hooked up for the pur-
pose Of cleaning. The roosts will take
up four feet, and there should be eight
more floor space; thus house for 100
hens should be 25x12 feet on the floor
inside, and should be at least six feet
high in the rear and nine feet high in
front, with ample ventilation.
