Concerning Pleuro-Pn eumonia
WAsHIYGToN, October 24th--Dr. Salmon,
Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
in his official report upon the outbreak OF
pleuro-pneumoniaa at Chicago, described the
manner in which the plague was traced to
and discovered in the distillery stables, and
says it was of itself demonstration Of its
contagious character The report contin-
ues as follows 1.-The milkmen at first
stoutly denied the existence of any disease
among their cattle, but when the evidence
became too strong to be longer concealed,
it was admitted that they had recognized
the appearance of the lung disease of 1884.
They at first attributed it to the chemicals
used in the mash by distillers, and also to
feeding slop too hot, but finally concluded
it was contagious pleuro pneumonia, and
had been practicing incubation to lessen
the mortality. 1t was soon ascertained
that cattle had been removed from the
Phoenix Qistillery stables, driven over the
streets of Chicago and allowed to pasture
on the commons" The doctor then de-
scribes the quarantine measures taken and
adds - 1t may be with safety said that no
removals of cattle from distilleries could be
made without the knowledge of members
of the State Live Stock Commission, but
the inspection of city and suburban towns
brought out the fact that the contagion had
been very widely disseminated. and that
diseased animals had been running upon
lots where many cattle graZed, and that
practically we must consider all of the un-
| occupied pastures and vacant lots of the
| west and south sides of Chicago as in
fected, and all of the cattle running
at large as exposed. Most of the
| cases of disease found were chronic.
and some OF the herd presented evidence of
having been inoculated. This inocula-
! ton, which has been extensively resorted
to in Chicago, while it has lessened losses,
appears to be one of the means by which
the contagion has been so widely scattered.
The origin of the contagion in the distil-
lery stables is still a matter of doubt,
Milkmen believe it was introduced with
some COWS bought at the United States
yards, in the fall of 1884. If this version
is correct it is obviously impossible to say
at this late day whittier animals were i'm
ported at some of the centers of contagion
which existed in Illinois in that year, or
whether this occurred by contact with some
of the many Eastern calves which were
then passing through the yards. The State
Live Stock Commission has co-operated
cordially in the effort to discover and iso-
late the affected and exposed cattle, but
neither the State law nor the appropriation
made to secure the enforcement of its pro-
visions are adequate to the emergency.
Every animal in the distillery stables and
every one which had been upon the in
fected commons of Chicago, should be
summarily seized, condemned and slaught-
cred. The experience of the world with
this plague teaches US there is no other
course which can be relied upon to secure
the determination of the contagion. 1t
may be truly said that the cattle industry
in this country has reached its crisis"
Fatal Railroad Collision.
DETROIT, October 24th.-A passenger
train on the Detroit, Grand Haven and
Milwaukee Railroad, consisting of a bag
gage car, two coaches and sleeper, ran into
an open switch at Royal Oak, about eight
