THE CATTLE DISEASE.
The Commissioner OF Agriculture An.
swers Number of Questions in Re-
gard to the Plague, and Tells hat
Part ofthe Country is Affected.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.

NASHlNGION, OCi ~.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
written to A. W. Cheever, secretary of the
Massachusetts Cattle Commission, as fol-
lows:
In reply to your question as to whether there
can be any doubt as to the existence of the
contagious pleuro-pneumonian among the
cattle in certain distillery stables in Chicago,
would state that Dr Salmon chief of the
bureau of animal industry, and Drs. Murray,
Trumbower, Hern, Rose and Rowland, vet
erinarians of long service in the bureau of
animal industry and of much experience in
diagnosing aud detecting this disease, un-
hesitatingly pronounce it pleuro pneumonia
or lung plague of cattle. In reply to the
question as TO what the department is doing
toward exterminating this disease, | would
state that il is doing all that is possible under
the law passed for the establishment of
bureau of animal industry. But this law is
so defective as lare the laws of the various
states where the plague exists, that effective
measures OF extirpation can't be taken unless
all those interested in the cattle industry of
the country, join in united efforts to secure
the passage by Congress this winter of a law
that will give this department authority to
slaughter the diseased and exposed cattle and
fund sufficient to at least partly indemnify
owners.
We NAV be able to confine the plague
within its present limits but be powerless to
extirpste 1t. The disease still prevails
in and around New York city, in
in several localities in New Jersey.

yania and Delaware, quite extensively in Bal

UNLAWFUL ACCOUNTS.
A Discovery Made by the Third Auditor
OF the Treasury.
WASHINGTON Oct |

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Third Auditor Williams of the treasury de-
partment, in looking up the claims of several
state. for indemnity for expenses incurred in
defending the United States during the late
war, and in acts supplemental thereto, finds
that the state of Indiana has been "erroneous
ly, improperly and unlawfully allowed" va
rlous amounts. First in excess Cf vouch-
ers second, twice for the same service
third, amounts allowed without vouchers, In
all amounting TO SAG, 1873
Williams has written the Governor of Indi-
ana, enclosing an abstract, giving Details
that he NAV take such action as he deems
best. The abstract, he says, serves to show
carelessness or something worse in the
adjustments in these accounts for which
person or persons then in the third auditors
room are responsible.
Take for example voucher No. 1870, ac-
count of o H. Hendrick, charged on the alb
stract, filed by the state and allowed by the
third auditor for S3930, whereas the voucher
itself called for S2930, thus raising the
amount $1,000.
Voucher No. 1914, account of Robert Ben
nett & Co., called for S54, is charged on the
abstract, filed by the state and allowed by
the third auditors office S5425, a difference
of S537l.
Voucher No. 46ll, account of A. Book
weller, amounting to $3.50, is charged on the
abstract, presented and allowed BY the third
auditor for $3.50
The auditor concludes by stating that it is
perhaps proper he should add that the erro-
neous and unlawful allowances occurred al
various times, and claims in which the
over charges are discovered appear to have
been formulated and filed by Gen. w. H.
Tenll, secretary to the Governor, and Thos.
B. Mccarthy, former auditor of state, who

Discovered by the POlice-Seventeen
Anarchists Arrested.

vienna, Oct. 10.
The Vienna police have furnished the press
with an account Of a recently discovered
anarchist plot to burn Vienna The plot is
shown to suppress in extent and diabolical
ingenuity any dynamite plot hitherto concoct-
ed. Seventeen conspirators have been ar
rested. The examination of the prisoners
shows that the plot was hatched in and di-
rected from America and London and was to
be carried out by Viennese anarchists who
recently returned from America. The con-
.pirators we're divided into several groups
one which was detailed to set fire to the
town. another to take charge of the dyns-
mite operations and another to forge the nee
essary official documents and coin money for
expenses. The police got wind of the plot
and watched until il was almost matared.

their hearts leap with joy to see those
handsome doll buggies, house sets and
the various designs to make their happy
days more happy still. Mr.. WolfsOn
wisely sticks to his old plan of marking
all these new goods at the lowest posi-
BILE margin, and this accounts for the
