Remarkable Effect Of DIR. Brown
SeQuard's Elixir.

CHICAGO. Aug. ia Fort Wayne special
says: Yesterday afternoon DR.. William H.
Myers, one OF the first surgeons of the state,
tested the Brown-Sequard elixir on Michael
Kenny of Columbia City. The patient was SO
seriously affected with rheumation that he was
unable to walk without the aid of crutches. In
less than an hour through the stimulating
effects of the treatment Kenny threw away his
crutches and walked away. DR.. Myers has had
no faith whatever in the panacea, but in answer
to a question he remarked: 81 can only saw
that the stimulating effect is something mar
velous. The mans pulse rose to 1873 and he is

CATTLE FOR EXPORT.
Secretary Rusk's Precautions to Pre-.
vent Possibility Of Infection.

Secretary Rusk, as o result Of his conference
in New York, has found it necessary to supple
ment his circular Of July g. prescribing regula-
tions and rules for disinfection in the trans
portation of cattle from the Texas fever dis
strict, with an additional order referring par
ticularly to the special precautions necessary
to prevent any possibility of the infection of
cattle selected for export. The following order
has been issued as supplementary to that of
July and is addressed ''to the managers and
agents Of transportation companies Of the
United States:
GROWTH OF THE CATTLE EXPORT TRADE.
'In addition to my order of July 8, 1889, in
regard to cleaning and disinfecting cars and
pens which have been occupied by cattle liable
to disseminate splenetic or Texas fever de-
sire to impress upon you the importance Of
special precautions to prevent the infection of
cattle which have been selected for exporta-
tion. The number of cattle shipped in Europe
has rapidly increased and the trade is probably
more promising than ever before. This re-
lleves our markets, gives new vigor to the cat
tie industry, and proportionally increases the
Dnslness OF transportation companies.
FEARS OF INFECTION.
at is feared by shippers that some of these
export cattle may become infected from cars
WHICH nave carried southern cattle before the
regulations Of July 8, 1889, went into effect
single shipment of animals thus affected
might lead other countries TO prohibit the en-
trance Of our cattle and consequently ruin this
trade, which is now of SO much importance to
the country. Not desiring at present to make
regulation requiring that all stock cars
should be cleaned and disipfected before cattle
are loaded into them would earnestly request
the managers of all transportation companies
doing business between the interior and the
seaboard to make provision whereby all cars
IN which cattle for export are to be transported
shall be thoroughly cleaned and disnfected
previous to loading. in accordance with the in
structions contained in my order Of July 3.
ARRANGEMENTS IN NEW YORK
Arrangements have been made at New York
by which one yard, accessible to all railroad
companies, has beeen set apart exclusively for
export travel. understand that one of the
trunk lines between Chicago and New York has
already at the request Of shippers instructed
its agents to furnish disinfected cars for such
cattle, and trust that all others will immedi-
ately give the export trade the benefit of SIM
liar precautions, thus avoiding the necessity
for an extension of the order of July to in
clude all cars in which cattle are TRANSPORTED ~

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAMS.
Allowing the One Cent q Word Rate
Until the Controversy Is Settled.

Pending the final settlement of the govern
nent telegraph rate question the Postmaster
General has given instructions to the acting
secretary OF the treasury to consider the one
cent rate as prevailing until the official pro-
mitigation of an order fixing another rate Of
compensation. A ruling of this sort will
naturally embrace the business of other de-
partments.
This action is intended only to bridge over
the temporary difficulties that arose under the
controversy. Agents Of the government were
forced to pay commercial rates for messages
and were under orders to pay only the mill-a-
word rate, thus being forced to run the risk Of
having their accounts disallowed.
THERE Is SOME DOUBT,
however, as to whether or not the telegraph
company will accept this e1pedient pending
the final decision. From the hints that have
been thrown out it is not unlikely that they
will continue to charge the commercial rates
under the plea that with the close of the fiscal
year all fixed rates were ended, and that they
have legal right to charge their regular rates
for any service that may be rendered between
that time and the date Of the signing Of the
new contract. This is in direct opposition to
THE DECISION OF CONTROLLER LAWRENCE,
quoted in Saturdays STAR, to the effect that
new rates are retroactive back to the date of
the expiration Of the old contract, but this de-
cision is not generally looked upon as having
sufficient legal strength to stand in court In
fact, Judge Durham overruled it at his first op-
portunity, and since then his word has been
followed. But the fact that the Postmaster
General gave the company notice before the
close Of the fiscal year that after July the
government rate should be mill word seems
to give the government the right to claim that
whenever the controversy is settled that rate
shall be considered as having prevailed from
the end Of the old contract, regardless of de-
cisions by the first controller.

ORANGEMEN CAUSE A ROW.
Vitriol Alleged to Have Been Thrown
by Catholics.

KINGSTON, ONT, Aug. 13.-There was con-
siderable excitement here yesterday, growing
out of the celebration by the Orangemen of the
relief of Derry. Some Of the Orange speakers
denounced the Jesuit estates act and got into
controversies with Catholics in the crowd. To
add to the ill feeling several young Orangemen
exhibited evidence that vitrioi had been thrown
upon their persons and clothing. as they al
legged, by Catholics. Another incident was the
throwing of dirty water by guest of the Hotel
Frontenac upon a band Of young Britons who
were playing in front Of the building. The
landlord thought it best to eject the guest from
the hotel in order to prevent an attack upon
the building.

THE GEARS BERLIN VISIT.
1t is Made Under Pressure and II Not q
Guarantee OF Peace.

LONDON, Aug. l3.-The simple-minded Amer
icsn reader who has caught the echoes Of the
German alarmist press and has become i'm
pressed with the force Of their reasoning that
the failure Of the czar to visit the German en-
peror shows he wants war may innocently
imagine that now, that il is definitely announced
that this visit is to come Of, these papers win
drop their sanguinary tone. Nothing could be
wider OF the mark. His not coming Of course
proved war, but his coming proves war Just
the same. The processes by which they demon
strate this proposition are quite ingenious il
not strictly logical; but with this American
readers have little concern. What is import
ant, however, is that these sheets really express
the convictions Of large and growing party in
Germany who believe that war 10 at hand, and
with whom, furthermore, the wish is father TO
the thought.
WHAT Is MORE SIGNIFICANT
than the vaporings Of the chronic war mongers
is the tone of the conservative press ON the
czar's visit. It is clear that whatever augery Of
peace and goodwill such q visit would have
been six months ago even these influential and
conservative sheets derive little comfort from
it now. 1t is pointed out that every element
Of spontaneity is lacking, and it is only too
evident that the czar is coming to Berlin now
because NJ. De Giers insists upon it, and be-
cause the Russian finance minister, Vyshne-
gradsky, finds his schemes blocked on every
pOurse In Europe because OF his masters OBJ
stinacy in refusing to return the German en-
peror's visit.
THAT THE GEAR REQUIRED MUCH URGING
and entreaty before he would consent to the
violence to his own feelings which the visit in
wolves is no secret in Berlin. When his famous
''only friend" to the prince of Montenegro re-
| Gently had set all Europe in q ferment and Rus
sian securities were tumbling on all the bourses
the czar's finance minister, in sheer despera-
ton, besought him to hasten TO Berlin and thus
quiet the alarm his ill-timed speech had cre-
ated. At that time his majesty answered in
Russian, and such Russian as drove the fright
ened minister trembling from his angry mas
ter's presence. When all this is well known in
Germany it is not at all strange that the COM
ing visit should fail to be accepted everywhere
as
AwHITE-wINaED MESSENGER OF PEACE.
The presence Of the Austrian emperor in the
German capital today of course gives the en-
thusiastic Berliners chance to shout them
selves hoarse, but il is devoid Of any real sig
nifcance. AL are looking forward to tho car 6
coming and speculation as TO the outcome is
rampant.
