NO CATTLE DISEASE HERE,
Secretary Rusk Denies the Existence Of Any
Such in This State.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-News was re-
Gently received at the Department of Agri-
culture 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. DIR. c. B.
Michener, Assistant Chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, promptly left here to in
vestigate the disease. Rumors to the effect
that the disease in question was the apthouse
fever, commonly known as foot and mouth
disease, have elected from DR.. Michener a
telegram to the department that he has per-
sonally inspected a number of the affected
animals, and that there is not the least
doubt that the disease is of simple, nom
contagious character.
"You can make the denial of the exist
ence of any foot and mouth disease in this
country as emphatic as you please" said
Secretary Rusk. at has never existed in
this country except in two or three in
stances as the result of cattle imported from
Great Britain, which were found affected on
landing in this country, but with the pre-
cautions now taken in the inspection of all
cattle landed on American soil even q case
of this kind has not occurred recently, and
it is an absolute fact that for seven wears
past there has not been single case of foot
and mouth disease in the United States"

CLOSED WITH A CROWD.

Unprecedented Attendance at the Exposi-
ton on tho Last Day of the Season
Prospects for Next Year Brighter Than
Ever-No Figures Given.
After season of 40 days the .Pittsburg
Exposition closed last night Yesterday s
crowd, as we'll as those of the whole week,
were the largest that ever attended. All
dav and evening the great
buildings were fairly jammed with
people. A large number were those who
had put off visiting the Exposition until the
last opportunity. The remainder we're ex-
cursionists from surrounding towns. There
were no extra attractions for the closing
day In fact, nothing additional was neces-
sary, as the place had all the visitors it
could hold.
The management still declines to give out
any figures as to the attendance during the
season or the amount gained. The season
was not what had been expected, but those
interested are not discouraged. Manager
Johnston said last night:
"There can be no doubt about the success
of the Exposition both in this season and
those to come. We have made money,
though not as much as some expected. The
weather has been largely responsible for
this. During the best weeks of the season the
intense heat kept great many outsiders from
coming to the city, and also prevented many
Pittsburg people from attending. During
tn. week past we have had the largest at
tendance ever known at the Exposition.
People came from greater distance than
ever before. We are satisfied, and confident
of giving still better display next year."
Whether the association will have money
enough to make the improvement stated in
THE DISPATCH yesterday cannot be told
yet. This will be settled soon at meeting
of the directors. If there is not enough on
hand it is probable an effort will be made to
secure additional funds elsewhere, as the
necessity of more room is manifest to all.

INDIANS LEGAL STATUS.
The AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
WANTS THE THING FIXED.

A Committee of the Association Lays the
OF Lieutenant Casey's Slayer Cited
Congress Asked to Act. ..
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE President
received this morning by appointment a
committee of the American Bar Association
appointed at its meeting in Boston in
August, consisting of Henry Hitchcock, of
st. Louis, who was President of the associa-
tion last year; Prof J. B. Thayer, of the
Harvard Law School, and Wm B. Horn
blower, prominent member of the New
York bar. This committee vas directed to
bring to-the attention of the President and
and Congress resolution which was unani-
mously adopted by the association after a
debate, in which number of prominent
lawyers took part in, reference to the legal
status of the Indians on reservations.
The subject was introduced by an able
paper read by Mr.. Hornblower, in which,
among other results of the anomalous eX-
listing conditions. was mentioned the ac-
quittal of the Indian who treacherously
killed Lieutenant Casey, of the army, dur
ing the Sioux troubles last winter, when in
dicted and tried for murder on the ground
United States and the Sioux. In fulfill
ment of their duty the members of the COM
mittee placed in the hands of the President
q copy of the resolution which declared it
to be the sense of the association that the
Government should provide at the earliest
possible moment for courts and system of
law in and for the Indian reservations.
They also briefly stated to him the consid-
erations on which it was based, referring to
repeated recommendations by successive In
dian Commissioners, the report of General
Miles and Others in 1888, as commissioners
in reference to the Ponca Indians, and the
testimony of Bishop Hare, all to the like
effect.
The President listened with attention and
interest to the statement of the committee
and replied that the matter should receive the
consideration which the Importance and the
gravity of the subject deserved. The inter-
view was necessarily brief, as the President
was about to pay visit to the Methodist
Ecumenical Conference. Later in the day
the committee had an interview on the same
subject with the Secretary of the Interior
and also with the Commi ssioner of Indian
Affairs, with each of whom the matter was
fully and satisfactorily discussed.

NOT REVOLUTIONISTS.
The German Socialist Party Clears
Its Skirts of Anarchy.
EXTREMISTS ARE CALLED DOWN.
Strong German Patriotism Marks All the
Shades of Opinion.
NO CHANGE OF TACTICS DECIDED ON

COPYRIGHTED 1891, BY NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PREss.1
BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE proceedings of the
Socialist Congress at Erfurt have so height
ened the reputation of the leaders of the
party and of the greater part of the dele
gates for tact and moderation as to give the
whole party q new character in the eyes of
the country. Whatever may be thought
concerning the wisdom or lack of wisdom
of their ideals, the party will henceforth
be free from the stigma of mere revolu-
tionism.
Constitutional radicalism, seeking to at
tain its aims by rational, pacific methods,
is now the spirit which animates German
socialism. The specter of socialism as an
archy, which has long been haunting the
minds of the upper class of German bur-
geois and the bureaucracy is forever laid to
rest.
From the outset of the Congress a few
noisy extremists, Herren Werner, Wild
berger, Lutz and others, in miserable nu-
merical minority, displayed in debate men
tai incapacity so pitiable as to cover them
selves with lasting ridicule.
RIcICULE FOR THE F1RE-EATERs
Their mob rhetoric was laughed at, and
their commonplace denunciations of capital
ism were heard in silent scorn. Their
charges against the Directing Committee of
being party of tyrants and self-seekers
holding doubtful relations with the enemy
of socialism, were met with energetic de-
mands for their expulsion from the Socialist
party.
Herr Bebel advised the extremists to
leave the party for an organization of their
own and preach revolution where it was be-
ieved in, but not among men who were de-
termined to pursue moderate, progressive
policy. Much consideration was shown
toward the extremists during successive
discussions, but forbearance before the pro-
longed exhibition of blatancy and inepti-
tude had its limits, and yesterday, amid
cries of "Aus, aus, Herr Werner and his
colleagues vanished, probably forever from
the Socialist ranks.
The addresses delivered before the con-
gress showed difference of opinion regard
ing the attitude of the Socialist party and
Germany's foreign policy. Herren Bebel
and Liebknecht held that German Socialists
should first assume a national and then an
International character. Herr Vollmar
proclaimed himself in favor of a purely
national organization, and Herr Singer was
inclined to reconcile the international with
the national. Healthy, patriotic German
ism, however, characterized the speeches on
all sides, except that of the extremists.
THE PARLIAMENTARY PROGRAMME.
On motion of Herr Bebel, the congress to-
night adopted a comprehensive resolution
to the effect that no reason exists for
change of tactics Although it indulges in

FRANK HURD COMES OUT.
THE PIONEER FREE TRADER TO TAKE
THE STUMP FOR CAMPBELL.

Four Thousand People Listen to q Talk
From the Governor-A Tin Wash Boiler
Furnishes Him a Text for His Political
Sermon. "-
SANDUsKY, O. Oct. 7.-[Special. Frank
Hurd, the pioneer advocate of free trade,
has evidently reconsidered his determine
tion to keep out of politics. Last night he
attended Governor Campbells meeting at
Toledo, and to-day he met him at the sta
tion and accompanied him to Oak Harbor,
where the Governor spoke in the afternoon.
Hurd and Campbell have not always agreed
on the tariff question, but the Governors
recent utterances on the stump are evident
ly radical enough to please the prince Of
tariff-smashers, and their long conference
this morning no doubt means that Hurd
will take the stump before the close of the
campaign.
The Governors meeting at Oak Harbor
to-day was very successful in point of num-
bers. There were probably 1000 people
about the stand while he was speaking and
the major portion of his auditors were farm
ers He talked on the tariff from the very
outset, and, as this is strong Democratic
county, his audience was i'll sympathy with
him. At one time he was interrupted by
man who said he had been compelled to pay
80 cents more for washboiler by reason of
the new tariff on tin.
This furnished the Governor a text, and,
after admonishing the complainant that he
was in great danger of being called tin
plate liar, asked why it was that the
foreigner forgot to pay the tax on that
washboiler. From tin plate the Governor
took up farming implements and sought to
prove that certain lines of these goods were
sold cheaper to the foreigners than to the
American farmer.
The Governors meeting here tonight was
well attended, the Opera House being
packed to its utmost capacity. Governor
Campbell's train was late, and it was nearly
9 o'clock when he began his speech. His
speech was mainly on the tariff, and es-
peciallv its relations to the fisheries, which
are one of Sandusky 8 leading industries He
paid some attention to State issues, and
ealogized the work of the Democratic
Legislature.

pare for It.
rBY CABLE TO THE DrsPATcH.l
LONDON, Oct 17.-MiRister of Public
Works .Sockroy, of France, has this week
published book called de Moltke Ses
Memories ct La Guerre Future, which has
made Frenchmen believe him to be great
strategist and student of military matters
and army organization. After discussing
Moltke's career and his posthumous book
on the war;. he argues that France cannot
prevent another war. All that she can do
is to prepare for undergoing it when it
breaks out, in order to maintain it victori-
ously and to leave intact to the next gener
alton the reduced heritage left at the col
lapse of the empire.
He believes that the army is able to meet
the best soldiers in Europe, and that the
past 20 years have been we'll employed, but
he urges that great general will do more
with mediocre army than a bad general
with heroic one; that it is always best to
take the offensive, and that to attack is
sometimes the best way of defense. He
reprobates the notion of certain military
writer's that the French army should aban-
don the frontier and give battle before
Paris, for such retreat would be a con-
fession of weakness and tantamount to
treason. He concludes thus: -.
"War without mercy, without pity is
what awaits us; war OF determination like
those related in ancient history, in which
nothing is respected neither the property
nor the lives of individuals: in which all
means are employed all artifces excused, all
treasons allowed, all cruelties justified, all
distinctions ordered, in which when armies
pass they leave a desert behind them; in
which when the conflict is over one of the
adverssries has disappeared. Let us then
all unite TO sustain this war with which we
have so long been threatened, and with
which there is desire to terrify us. We
have right on our side, we have justice, and
the sentiment of justice and right will give
US that moral force which commands vic
tory.
ITO ward off or put off the conflict is not in
our power, and others will soon perhaps
sound the hour when France will have to
stake her last throw"

CARRYING GREAT CROWDS.
Increasing Business on the Pennsylvania
Lines East and West.

Increasing Business on the Pennsylvania
Lines East and West.
The Pennsylvania lines east and west of
Pittsburg have been doing a remarkable
business of late. This has been particularly
the case with companies of players, dele
gates to conventions and other special par
ties This is always considered good indi-
cation, as this class of people is used to
much travel and are pretty sure to select
the best accommodations.
Among those who left Pittsburg on Penn
sylyania lines yesterday were: Cappa's
Band, 50 people, to Cleveland; E. S. Will
lard's company, II people, to Chicago; Tar
and Tarter company, 63 people, to Chicago;
Roland Reeds company, 20 people; to
Buffalo; Gus Hills company, 16 people, to
Cincinnati, and a special train with $50
members of the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. to Mead
vile.
Among those to arrive to-day are: The
Patrol Company, 25 people, from New
York; the Hoss and Hoss Company, 1S peo-
pie, from Buffalo, and Money Mad Com
pany, 20 people, from Philadelphia. To-
morrow the knights and Ladies of Honor,
20 people, will take special car to Erie.
Officials of the road say that this big busi-
ness is largely due to the increased facili-
ties for handling passengers comfortably.
The superb dining car service on all
through trains has been giving great salts
faction and is generally voted success

A DUAL DIRECTORY.
Two Sets of officers Elected for
the Ohio and Mississippi.
A GREAT LEGAL BATTLE ON HAND.
The Baltimore and Ohio Party Win Their
Initial Victory.
AN INJUNCTION FIVE MINUTES LATE

CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.-After the decision
by Judge MaxwelEs court this morning, up
holding the Baltimore and Ohio people in
the Ohio and Mississippi deal, the Balti-
more and Ohio Railway party called meet
. ing and held an election. They had first
served notice on President Barnard, of the
Ohio and Mississippi Railway, requesting
him to appoint inspectors of election, which
ne did not do. They appointed inspectors
IN due form and proceeded with the cleo
ton by voting shares o t of a total of 240 =
900 shares 1S7, 900 shares were voted unani-
mously for the following three directors,
who were declared elected: Sterrett Nc
him, OF Baltimore; D. Fahnestock, of Bal
timore, and j. S. Walsh, of st. Louis
In Judge Hunts court, at O'Clock, the
Ohio and Mississippi Railway party, through
their attorneys, applied for an order to re-
strain the Baltimore party from voting 147,-
300 shares of stock, on the ground that the
voting power of this portion of the stock
was not represented by proxies from indi-
vldual shareholders as the law requires, but
was merely represented bv the order of a
committee appointed by body of English
stockholders, who acted as a body and not
as individuals. This case was in hearing
when court adjourned, and it will be re-
sumed on Monday.
This afternoon, when the application
answer was made in court, the Baltimore
and Ohio party were represented by At
torney Colston to resist the motion. How.
ever, Deputy Sheriff was dispatched to
the meeting of stockholders to serve notice
on them of an application for an injunction,
but he arrived five minutes after the meet4
ing had adjourned
Now it is claimed that the fact the
attorney for the Baltimore party went into
court before the meeting of the stockhold.
ers was over was an admission Of a
knowledge of the facts, and that, therefore,
the stockholders meeting was in contempt
of court, since a formal notice to them bv
the Sheriff was unnecessary. Evidently
big legal battle is at hand. No one would
be surprised to see contest in the courts
between two sets of directors-three against
three. Then quo warranto proceedings are
likely to be resOrted to.
Another theory is that obstructive tactics
will be employed long enough for individual
proxies to arrive here from England, in
case the Judge Hunts Court should decide
adversely to the Baltimore and Ohio party.
An appeal of the case to higher court
would gain the desired time.

At Yesterdays meeting of that committee
NJ. Ribot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
NJ. Roche, Minister of the Colonies, de-
Tended the Governments proposition for
raising the prohibition upon the import of
American pork, and to substitute for this
prohibition a duty of 90 francs. NJ. Ferry,
after several members of the committee had
expressed their views in opposition to the
measure, proposed to postpone the discus
sion until to-day. This motion was rejected
by vote of to 5, whereupon NJ. Ferry de-
clared that he would at once resign the
Presidency of the committee.
Efforts were made to induce NJ. Ferry to
reconsider his determination. with the re-
suit that he has consented to withdraw his
resignation. The committee later agreed
upon Tuesday as the date of the next de-
bate on the American pork question.
