Rigid Regulations as TO Texas Cattle Is
sued by the Department Of
Agriculture.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.--The secretary OF
agriculture has just issued an order to
| managers and agents railroad or trans,
portatlon companies n regard to the
transportation and handling of Texas cat
tie, directing that no cattle be transported
from an infected area to any portion OF
the United States except in accordance
with certain regulations, which are to re.
main in force from the 18th OF March to
the lst of December.
These regulations provide that all such
cattle unloaded at any point outside Of the
area described to be fed and watered must
be so fed and Watered in places set apart
Tor this exclusive use, and to which no
other cattle shall be admitted, and which
must be thoroughly disinected once a
week during the continuance OF this Or
der.
On arriving at their destination these
cattle shall be received into pens special
lv set apart for them, from which all
other cattle are to be rigidly excluded,
and all regulations relating to the move
ment OF Texas cattle prescribed by the
cattle officers of the state where unload
ing must be carefully observed.
Moreover, the cars used In transporting
said stock must be cleansed and disin-
fected before being used to transport or
shelter the animals.
Again, should such cattle be reshipped
from any point where they have been I'M
loaded to another destination the car in
which they are carried must bear a placard
stating that it contains southern cattle,
and the WaV bills must bear a uGtp tO the
same effect. The regulation as to special
pens applies also to cattle 50 shipped,

Lee White Racket.

S. T. Loughborough and Wm. Madden,
OF Cerrilos, came up this morning to tell
the grand jury what they know about the
Lee White affair. These are the parties,
among others, whom II. NJ. Benton
charges with having hung the negro,
Robert Stansfeld, up by the thumbs, and
forced from him the allegation that Ben
ton was supplying White with money to
carry on his unlawful practices. The
grand jury will no doubt make a searching
investigation into the whole affair
Loughborough and Madden say they
were members OF posse that made q
faithful attempt, covering three lays and
two nights, to capture Lee White, but
they failed, as they aliege, because so
many people about San Pedro are shield
ing the outlaw. They deny Benton S
story as to the hanging up Of Stanstield
by the thumbs, and say that the latter
made his charge in the nature OF an
affidavit before Mr.. Raunheim as notary
public. 1t is also claimed that, owing
| to the poverty stricken condition of the
county, any posse that goes otter White
has to pay its own way, and hence no.
body cares to go. 1t is suggested that
the grand jury bring in an indictment
against White, and arm the sheriff with
warrant directing him to go and find
White.

AMNESTY FOR DESERTERS
The proclamation OF Secretary Proctor,
granting amnesty to deserters, IS in the
Judge advocate generals Office, where the
legal aspects of the subject are being con
sdered.
A report from the Fort Leavenworth
military prison shows that of the 55U
prisoners at that institution, 423 are serv
ing time for desertion. The secretary
has not yet decided to what date amnesty
will be extended. 1t is not improbable
that all deserters to December 81, 1889,
will be pardoned.
THE ASSISTANT WAR SECRETARY.
The fact that the bill providing for an
assistant secretary of war will undoubtedly
be approved by the president, has fur
nisted material for speculation at the war
department during the past week regard
ing the probable occupation OF the office.
The salary is 81 800 per year, and the bill
provides that it shall be a civilian appoint
nent made by the president. Mr.. F. G..
Partue, Secretary Proctor's private secre-
tary, and Mr.. John Tweedae, chief clerk
OF the department, are among the names
suggested for the new Office.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Without Partsciple- and the Like Is Con
tains Forty Thousand Words


without PsrtscipIe- and the Like Is Con
tains Forty Thousand Words
An interesting question suggested by
an ancient wzif Of book is the number
of English words now existing. Con-
siderable difference OF opinion exists on
this point Mr.. George p Marsh. an
American author Of repufe. in his
Lectures on the English Language. -
estimates that the number in 1861
probably does not fall short of 100. 000;''
and large additions. especially in art
and science, have come into use since
that date. Other writers, however.
come to different conclusion. and think
that q, 600 would include the whole. IL
depends a good deal on how calcula lions
are made. II all the subsidiary words
-pzrticiples and the like-are TO be
taken into account. il will swell the
sum total very considerably.
Taking the first three words that oc
cur at random, we find that from de
monstrate." in one of our modern die
tiOnsries. there are thirteen deriva-
tives; from the word bright there are
twelve. and from ''deplore" there are
ten. There is also redundance in other
forms In one of TOdd's editions Of Dr.
johnson there are upward Of eighty
words. with the prefix 'sll'-all-com-
plying. all-divining, all-drOwSy. and so
on-s very notable instance OF diction-
AIRY padding. In ways like these the
vocabulary may be indefinitely in
creased Probably. IL We take lead
ing words and all their deriva-
tives, the number at the present time
will exceed Mr.. Marsh's estimate. An
approximate verifcation Of this may be
found by multiplying the number Of
pages in any good modern dictionary by
the average number Of words in 4 page.
Shakespeare's works. il il believed.
include about fifteen thousand separate
words, and Millions about eight thou
sand; but from these figures we have no
criterion Of the extent Of the actual
English vocabulary. Il may be
mentioned here that while Cock
cram has only about sevea or eight
thousand words. there are in Bailey's
Dictionary approximately about thirty
six thousand and in JOhnson's not more
than that In some OF the larger
modern works. again, the figures. as
has been said. reach 20 upward Of one
hundred thousand.
in DIR. JohnsOn's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms were I
omitted and in his original preface he /
excuses himself in a Ne.y naive and /
fashion Il could not. - /
