Between 80 and 60 couples attended
the Stewart House opening ball last
Friday. A much larger number would
have been present but for the derail-
ment of a train on the Boston & Low
ell Railway. Dancing commenced
about 8 90, and, with the intermisson
for supper, was kept up until nearly
daylight The music by Bigelow' S
Orchestra was never better, and taken
as a whole, all interested being persist
ent in their efforts to make the occa-
sion a thoroughly enjoyable one, the
ball was the best in every respect that
has been given in Island Pond. The
supper too, was the acme of excellence.
That so many attended from Island
Pond is highly pleasing to Mr.. Bishop,
and is by him held in high apprecia.
ton. The announcement of his next
ball is awaited with interest.

Length.

The Animal Industry Bill Discussed al
Length.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Senate re,
sumed the consideration of the bill for the
establishment of bureau of animal indus,
try and to facilitate the expectation of live
stock and their products. Mr.. Palmer ad.
dressed the Senate in support Of the bill,
and had read various communications ito
show the animus of the opposition to the
bill" which was, he said, machine
work right through" The general idea
conveyed was that the opposition came
from the existing Bureau of Animal In
dustry. In conclusion he expressed the
hope that the bill would pass. If it did
not he would have the satisfaction Of hay-
ing acquitted himself of his duty.
Mr.. Vest said that if one-tenth Of what
was stated in the correspondence which
had Just boen read was true, the Commis-
sioner of,Agriculture should be buried out
of official life, disgraced and dishonored.
II the Commissioner had us,d his official
position to defeat or advance legislatioabs
was unworthy TO be a messenger, 90
less the head of that great department.
But he (vest) did not believe these state
ments. He had been diligently searchiog
for the truth all through the labyrinth of
speeches and literature on this subject. He
could not support the bill. He proceeded
to speak of what he called 1.-THE Cattle
Syndicate" and said that the people were
helpless and within its power.
Mr.. Plumb had also something to say on
the same subject. In his opinion the
worst combination in the country was the
combination of beef and pork packers,
having its headquarters in Chicago. There
was no trust or combination, the Standard
Oil trust, the sugar trust, the copper trust,
or any other trust that had so powerful or
50 baleful an influence as that combina-
ton. After an executive session the SEN
ate adjourned.
