PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
Secretary Rusk Says There Is Not a Single
Case in This Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The attention of
Secretary Rusk to-day was called to cabled
report in which British Minister of Agri-
culture Chaplin is represented as opposing
the removal of the restrictions Of the British
Government on live cattle from the United
States. The Secretary said that Chaplin
was taking the side of those whose interests
led them to oppose the free introduction of
American store CATTLE and he seemed
to forget this this country had
abundant evidence that there exists among
the purchasers of store cattle in England
and Scotland widespread feeling in favor
of the unrestricted importation of cattle
from this country, provided they can be al
lowed with perfect safety to British cattle.
The Secretary construes the resolution re-
Gently adopted by the Agricultural Council
to mean that it is simply question of time
when the British Government will feel
obliged to remove restrictions from any
country which can show conclusively that
disease has been eradcated Just as soon
as sufficient time has, in my opinion,
elapsed since the last case of pleuro-
pneumonia occurred in this country, L shall
make an official declaration of its complete
eradication, and shall strive to satisfy the
British Government that the disease does
not exist here. Ii this does not secure the
withdrawal of these restrictions, England
will have to at least abandon the charge of
the unhealthfulness of our cattle as the
cause. There are buyers as well as sellers
abroad. and they will probably see to it that
their interests also receive some attention"
Referring to Secretary Chaplin's assertion
that pleuro-pneumonia still existed here,
Secretary Rusk said: Il unhesitatiDgly
challenge sChaplin. TO point out single case
of pleuro-pneumonia now existing among
American cattle. OF course, l cannot tell
what is his source Of information, but what
ever it is he is grievously mised. One thing
is certain, and that is it is now over six
months since any allegations have been
made by British officers of the discovery of
pleurO-pneumona among cattle from the
United States landed in Great Britain"

A LOST ART.

Good Cooks for Deep Water Vessels DIFF.
fcuIt to Obtain.
The scarcity of ships cooks at this port,
as well as throughout all the American
ports and those Of England has become an
alarming feature. and it is seldom of late
that vessels are able to get men to act in
such capacity that are versed in the elemen-
tary principles and practice Of the art
Inferior cooks on ard vessel, without
exception, are sure to cause trouble among
the sailors with their bad preparation of
the food. and it oftentimes leads TO mutiny
This condition of affairs can only be ac-
counted Tor by the greater inducements that
are offered cooks on shore. On board the
ordinary merchantmen the cooks position
is by no means sinecure; he is up before
the sun rises preparing for breakfast aud
seldom gets to bed again before midnight,
yet the highest wages paid Is $50 per month
Shlpinasters know full well the import
ance OF wholesome cooking on board ship,
and that on it depends in great degree
the health, comfort, contentment and disci-
pline OF crews: they are therefore not con-
tented TO venture on q long voyage with
cock who comes to them without good
recommendations from the last vessel in
which he served.
The Shipmasters' Society of London are
sending out circulars to the governing bodies
OF Industrial schools and training ships, urg-
ing upon them the necessity of teaching boys
the practice and art of cooking, especially
for those OF them that show aptitude for
stewards work. On board merchant ves-

Crop Reports.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. October re-
turns to the Department of Agriculture of
the rates of yield per acre make the average
for corn 1919 bushels, potatoes 57.5 bushels,
buckwheat 14.5 bushels, hay 1.2O tons and
tobacco rs pounds. The corn crop makes
the smallest reported, except that of 1881,
which was 1876 bushels II is S3 per cent of
the average of the last ten years. The de-
cline of the last decade is not due to the i'm
pal rment Of fertility, but to unfavOrahle
meteorological influences. Tie average rate
of yield of potatoes is 57.5 bushels. The
condition of the crop in October was lower
than any reported previous crops, except
1887, being 61.7 bushels against 61.5, when
the rate Of yie.d was 56.9 bushels. 1t i'm

The yields of hay are largeas rule through

be large and sugar-beets have done well

FLOWERS, PERFUMES, INSECTS.
The Ultimate Connection That Exists
Between These.

The Ultimate Connection That Exists
Between These.
Perfumes serve to attract insects. Arti-
fetal flowers were attached to branches of
trees by Nageli; some of these he scented
with essential oils; insects were attracted
to these in an unmistakable manner, while
others which he left unScented were almost
neglected. The perfume appears In general
to proceed from the honey, which cOnsti-
tutes the chief attraction inducing insects
to frequent flowers. In the anemone, poppy
and ST. Johns wort we have examples Of
honeyless flowers which are, however,
sought by insects which feed upon their
pollen, of which they produce an excess.
The more attractions q flower presents the
better will be its chance of cross fertiliza-
ton. and the greater the likelihood of its
offspring surviving and spreading. Incon-
Spicu0uS flowers. on the other hand, are in
danger Of being overlooked by insects. Ac-
curdingly, most small, ObScurely- colored
flowers are either self fertilized or are
adapted to have their pollen transported by
the wind. Wind-fertiized flowers, such as
the rye-grass, nettle and ash, have small
flowers, without conspicuous c0lOring, honey
or scent.
When we look at the flower as merely a
phase in the development of the fruit. and
when we consider that its end is served as
soon as cross-fertilization has been accom-
plished, the shurt duration of the blossom
becomes Ineligible. Once the stigma has
been polllnated flower seldom lasts any
time. Gardeners are we'll aware of this,
and take precautions to exclude bees from
their houses; otherwise, they would
find 1T impossible to keep their flowers in
good condition for any length of time. On
the other hand, it is wonderful how long
flower may remain fresh aud bright If it
has not been visited. We have already no.
tced this in the bowers Of the eurrant when
protected by muslin. The fuchsia is an
other example. This plant when grown out
of doors may sometimes be seen, especially
toward the end Of the season, with its flow
ers in perfect condition after almost every
other flower has disappeared, giving thus
unmistakable evidence of having been
neglected by the bees.-Chambers Journal.

REJECTED TRADE.
An Injunction Suit TO Compel The Northern
Pacific TO Accept Freight.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-John NJ Thurston,
general solicitor of the Union Pacific, az
rived from Omaha this morning to take tes-
timony in tile injunction suit brought by his
corporation against the Northern Pacific.
Last spring the latter road refused to accept
freight from Tacoma and Puget Sound
points, whereupon application was made in
the United States Circuit Court at Portland
for an injunction compelling IL to take such
traffic as the complaining line saw fit to
offer. In the preliminary trial 4 victory
was gained by TnurstOn. He is here now

Special to The MORNING CALL

LONDON, Nov. 1o-Joseph Savory was
to-day installed Lord Mayor of London with
all the customary pomp attending the cere-
mOny The weather was fine, and large
crowds lined the streets. A number of sur
vivors of the Crimean War and Naval
Brigade took part in the parade, and were
heartily cheered. The allcgorieal cars, espe-
cially those representing the colonies, were
also cheered.
This evening the Lord Mayor gave the
customary banquet to the Ministry. Secre-
tary Stanhope, replying to the toast of 1.-The
Army" announced that all the regular troops
would be armed with new magazine rifles
early next year.
Lord Salisbury, in replying to the toast
THE Government" said he regarded as a
good omen of peace the fact that the Care
witch was about to visit India as the guest
of the Queen. Although the dispute with
Portugal had not been so happily ar
ranged as matters with France and
Germany, still the position did not justify
any sinister apprehensions. Referring to
America, Lord Salisbury said the McKin-
ley tariff law certainly did affect some por-
tion of British commerce. Free-traders
eOuld rejoice over the recent electoral vic
tories in the. United States as a protest
against extravagant and utterly selfish pro-
lection. But they must not draw conclu-
siOns too rashly. They must still face the
prospect of prohibitive tariffs. England
had no retaliating scheme, as she had re-
duced her own tariff 10 the lowest point.
Referring to the relations between
labor and caDital the Premier said
If they had an eight-hour bill forbdding

Unwise theorists and interested politicians

commercial traditions.

The Premier declined to enter into any DO
liticai prophecies, the futility of which, he
said, recent events had shown. For in
stance, Boulanger won the bye-elections in
ali the elections of France, but failed to win

WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-Acting Adjutant-
General McKeever in his annual report to
the Secretary of War devotes much space to
the subject of military colleges. The aver
age number of students over 10 years OF age
attending these institutions during the past
scholastic year was II, ,649, of whom 81 at
tended artillery drills and 5o14 infantry
drills. The total number of pupils reported
as having received military instruction dur
ing the last quarter of the school year is
6005
Says General McKeever: One of the
obstacles pointed out in former reports, to
thoroughly satisfactory military DEPART
ment-the fewness of the number of stu
dents-is steadily increasing. The best re-
suits will not be obtained until each uni
versity or college is provided with army

ton should be compulsory upon all male
students of the proper age who are physic-
ally able"

Ez-President C,evelspd's Views on the Result
of the Election.
New YORK, Nov. 10.-Cleveland was in
terviewe1 to-day and reiterated his belief
that the recent Democratic victory was due
to the popular demand for tariff reform, de-
MED by the Republican party. He believed
the victory was not due to the passing en-
thuslasm of Demo Gratis, or factiOnal fights
among Republicans. He thought the work
of the past two years by the Tariff Reform
Leag ue and similar organizations would
have an enduring effect, and the men voting
this year for tariff reform will be apt to re-
main with the Democratic party. He re-
garded RusselPs election in Massachusetts
one OF the most significant features of the
campaign, as he made the canvass ON the
tariff reform issue. The Democratic party
holds by its pledge to make a just revision
of the tariff, and with large majority in
the House would continue the work of the
Fiftieth Congress and keep up the fight till
the promises are redeemed.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Hon. John NJ. Thurs
ton OF Omaha President Of the Republican
League Clubs of the United States, in an in
terview here Today on the recent election
said, referring TO the influence of the Nc
kinley bill upon the result: The natural
tendency of prices WAS upward among

there will be a revival Of stalwartism

workers all over the country did not take
an active part in this campaign. They felt
as though their services to the Republican
party had been undervalued. But in 1892
these persons will be at work in support OF
some candidate who will arouse enthusiasm,

AN IMPERIAL EDICT.

Emperor Williams Instructions to National
School Teachers
BERLIN, Nov. 10.-The National Zeitung
says: The Emperor will shortly issue an
edict directing that teachers in national
schools must be familiar with the principles
of political economy, to enable them
to demonstrate the error OF Socialistic
teaching In religion less attention
shall be paid to mnemonic exercises and
more to the comprehension of the ethical
side of religion. In the higher schools,
modern history. especially of Prussia,
must be taught, and the benefits which
Prussian kings have always conferred on the
workingmen must be included. The edict
was drafted before bismarck resigned.
