Congressional Report Regarding
Cattle Disease.

SdttAO DAoChbCs
WAsHINGroN, Feb. 25.-Representative
Sanborn, to whom all matters relating to
the cattle fever in Western states and
Texas fever or cattle plague in the South
ern states were referred by the house com
mittee on agriculture, has made a report
on the subject in which he makes a
thorough scientific review of the question.
He says the condition of infected cattle
and symptoms before death, combined
with the appearance of the animal after
death, all lead him to believe hat there is
a strong analogy between cholera in the
human race and so-called Texas plague in
cattle, in the manner OF its mode Of propa-
cation and spread among cattle as well as
very many conditions and symptoms in
common with yellow fever. 1t would
seem hat the disease like cholera, is
spread by excreticns of infected cattle in
course OF transportation. and that cattle
which have been apparently free from
disease have possessed germs which they
drop in course of Transportation and which
have been received by and infected other
cattle. Should this be true, the report
says, the remedy would be very simple
and may be made e~ifectual by an efficient
%quarantining of all diseased cattle or cattle
that have been exposed to disease. In
this case a board fence separating the well
from the sick would be a sufficient pre-
y%entive, DIR, Swinburn expresses the
opinion that infected Northern or West
the other. He recommends an %appropri-
alton for n scientific commission TO invesu-
gate the plague and discover, it possible,
its cause. He also recommends the en-
actment of a law requiring transportation
of cattle in cars or boats constructed fol
the purpose, in which comfort to cattle
could be secured and o~yercrowding pre-
vented; and that all railroad and steam
boat companies engaged in such traffic b,
required to provide proper yards at stated
distances, where cattle could be unloadeC
and with pure water and good iooC
and at such points cans or boats engaged
in such transportation be thorough
cleansed and disinfected. 1t is furthe
recommended that on the appearance o
disease among cattle, either in an %iniecte'
section or among cattle in process Of trans
portation, a system of strict quarantine b
established, and that no infected cattle, O
7 cattle exposed to infection, be permitte'
, to leave quarantine or be offered for sal
within forty days, or until the extrem
neriod NJ incubation has expired.

READING, Feb. pa man named
Lille OWNS a mill at Shamokin Hill. His
twin daughters, Katie and Susie. aged 6
years, strayed to an upstairs room in the
mill where a shaft was revolving. While
at play the little ones ventured too near
the machinery and their clothing was
caught in the shaft and they were drawn
around it and whirled with each revolu-
ton. After being thrown around for an
hour they were found by an older sister
who had come to look for them. When
the machinery was stopped their bodies
were found to be terribly lacerated. The
skull of Katie was badly fractured and her
body in other ways much mutilated, caus-
ing her death. Susie still lives, but her
chances of recovery are small Her entire
body is more or less injured, several bones
being broken.

Sensation IN the French Assembly

O
PARIS, Feb. 25.-A new kind of SEN
sation was made in the chamber of depu-
ties this afternoon. A strange man in
n of the galleries arose excitedly, drew
a revolver, fired it twice with a downward
aim, and then coolly threw a letter toward
Clemenceau. The man was quickly
seized and hurried out by the rolice.
When the excitement had subsidized a fiat
tened bullet was found at the feet of the
president of the chamber. The prisoner
said he was a soldier who had been 30 i'll
treated by his superiors and ignored by
the officers of justice that he resorted to
the desperate expedient of creating a SEN
sation in the chamber of deputies in Oh
der to secure attention to his grievances,
The prisoner gave his name as Poiererc,
and said he was an officer in the French
army. He asserted that the letter he
threw toward Clemenceau c%ontained-an
offer 10 give the government the names Of
the betayers of Metz.
