FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
DISEASE AMONG oAT1LE.
Report Made by the bureau of Anima
Industry at Washington.

Industry mt Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-News was re-
Gently received at the department of ag-
riculture of the outbreak of disease
among cattle in sections of the counties
of Chester, Berks and Montgomery, Pa,
and extending into some parts of New
Jersey. Dr. Charles B. Michener, assist
ant chief of the bureau Of animal in-
dustry, promptly lek to investigate the
disease. Unfounded rumors to the effect
that the disease in question was the
apthous fever, commonly known as
foot-and mouth disease, have elected
from DR.. Michener telegram to the
department that he has personally in
spected a number of the affected ami
mails, and that there is not the least
doubt that the disease is of simple,
non-contagious character.
"You can make the denial of the ex-
istence of any foot-and-mouth disease in
this country as emphatic as
you please" said Secretary Rusk, "It
has never existed in this country, except
i'll two or three instances as the result of
cattle imported from Great Britain,
which were found affected on landing
III LulS NOuhtlN, Dub WIFI Ju6 pTeCdu-
tions now taken in the inspection of all
cattle landed on American soil, even a
case of this kind has not occurred in re-
cent years, and it is an absolute fact
that for seven years there has not been a
single case Of foot-and- mouth disease in
the United States of America.
II cannot too strongly denounce the
tendency aided. am sorry to say by
some of our journals, to spread wild ru-
mors of the existence of contagious dis.
eases among our cattle. People do not
seem to realize that the publication of
such rumor, promptly repeated in
European journals, many of them ami
mated by a spirit of antagonism to our
cattle interests, may cost our cattle
raisers millions of dollars. The first re-
port of disease among stock should be
made to this department, and its official
report awaited before any publication
is made.
"You may add concluded the secre-
tary, THAT DR.. Michener's diagnosis may
be accepted with the utmost confidence,
especially as regards the question of this
foot and mouth disease, which he
thoroughly understands"

BERLIN, Oct. 20-The utterance of
the socialist leader, Bebel-''Yet another
twenty years and we will be masters of
Germany" is severely commented on in
official circles, and there is some pros
pect of Bebal's prosecution for laese
majestas by putting forced and
reasonable construction on his words.
The triumph of the moderate element in
congress is not pleasing to the enemies
of socialism, who would much prefer
that the opposition had carried the day,
and alienated people by their extravagant
menances of revolution. The extraor-
dinary growth of the socialist vote from
,9j7 in 1871, to 1,341, ,587 in 1890, is
quoted as showing that there is some
thing more than brag in Bebel's
prophecy, and that the time may not be
distant when the state, as now consti-
tuted, may be engaged in life struggle
with socialism.
