Pasteur and the Cattle Plague.

odessa Dispatch to the London Daily Netrs
The recent experimental NEGOTIATIONS
against the Siberian cattle plague, which
have been carried out on hundred Merino
sheep by DIR. Gamalea of tue Bacterioiogi-
cal station at Odessa, have given the most
hopeful results Some time will, of course
be required to prove the absolute efficacy of
the system. DR.. Gamalea assures me that
he himself has now not the slightest doubt
as to the general result. He estimates the
cost of lnoCulating large flOcks at approx
mately Id. per head. The Importance of
the success of this means Of eradiCatinp the
Siberian cattle plague in Russia will per
hspS be more readily understood when
state that during last year, in the single
province of Kherson alone, tho loss to pro
DrletOrS by the ravageS of this disease
amounted TO more than three millions of
rubeS. DR. Gamalca and his colleagues
being convinced that the cattle plague
arises from the presence of bacteria. the
Pasteur system applied under slightly al
tered conditions will, they believe. eventual
ly prove etliCaClous. TIE !tative experiments
on cattle have already been made but
those now about to Toe undertaken on the
basis of closely made observations. and zen
eral experience are expected to give more
positive results. Chambers will be next OK
pcrimentod with. In the whole of South
ern Russia the siberian plague and or
binary cattle plague have hitherto had a
permanent habitat. and their yearly recur-
renee has impoverished and ruined thous-
ands upon thousands OF the peasant proprie-
tors, to say nothing of the enormous losses
of the large owners of The sheep runs and

tract.

opinion as to whether he would be justifi-
able in voting

for Mr.. Fannin himself to decide. and Mr..
Fannin refused to vote. although it was

count of sickness, and many members be
leved that MIR Fannin was excusable under
the circumstances, but thought best TO
withhold his vote, and he WAS so advised
