fully apparent by the report of the Senate
Select Committee on Meat Products, to
which report he referred the Senators.
What he desired was to remove the obsta-
Gle. without irritation, without friction, be-
cause he considered it the first object of
craftsmanship to bring about results that
would inure to the benefit of the American
people.
A Fact, Not a Theory.
Here was the fact, said Mr.. Vest, that
those quarantine regulations existed, and it
was only proper to say that the British
authorities had stated that they decided to
see what would be the operation of the act
of March 1, 1890 (for the inspection of
cattle sent abroad), before they took
definite action in regard to their quarantine
regulations. If, after the State Depart
ment had called the attention of the British
Government to the subject, and had calmly
presented all the facts, showing that no dis
eased cattle were exported from the United
States, the British authorities refused to
treat American cattle justly, he Mr.. Vest)
would not be found tagging when the Sena-
tor from Maine (Mr. Hale) proposed the
most extreme measures in order to remove
the outrage.
Mr.. Hale expressed the desire that the
Senator from Missouri might be successful
in what he proposed, but he warned him
that in his path lay not only the quarantine
officers of Great Britain and the Boards of
Health, but the British farmers and British
raisers of cattle and sheep, and that his
efforts would be futile, because he would
come face to face with what was the actual
trouble in the case, and not the ostensible
trouble
The resolution was adopted.
Additional hills were 'introduced and re-
ferred as follows: For the settlement of
the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Com
pany's debt to the Government, and for the
local government of Utah Territory.
The Senate then proceeded to executive
business, and, after referring some nomina-
tions, adjourned until tomorrow.

The Citizens of West Bellevue Will Demand
satisfaction in a Body.
At the meeting of citizens of West Belle
vue borough, held in Blacks Hall last
night, NJ. ]. Black presided, in the absence
of Chairman Hunter. The Committee of
Investigation reported it was the desire of
the Council to have committee of three of
that body meet a similar committee from
the citizens meeting in secret session.
This proposition created quite furore.
Several members denounced it in
vigorous language among whom were
Messrs. Smith, Jackman, Stewart, Ross,
Hoover and Dr. Bell. 1t was then moved
that the resolutions passed by Councils be
accepted, and that the committee be in
structed to inform Councils that they in
sist on the resolutions being kept in good
faith. This was carried, the meeting then
adjourned to meet at the call of the Chair.
After adjournment considerable dissatis-
faction was shown by several present and
after some talk demand was made
to reassemble. The Chair then
called the meeting to order, and
Squire Ross moved that the citizens meet
tonight at 7:15 and proceed in body to
meet the representatives of Councils and
settle the matter at once. The motion was
carried unanimously and the meeting then
adjourned.

A Gas Company Not Able to Carry Out Its
Agreement With Wheeling.
In 1885 the Wheeling Natural Gas Com
psny made contract to supply the public
buildings and institutions of Wheeling
with gas for the privilege of laying
its pipes in the streets of the
CITY, The contract went into effect
in 1888. Now the company wants it
abrogated. They claim it is a
financial and physical impossibility for
them to carry out the agreement They
lost $1,000 recently in shutting off mills, be-
cause they hadn't gas enough to supply
them and fulfill their contract with the
city. Yesterday Councilmanic committee
from Wheeling, accompanied by an expert
accountant, came to Pittsburg and looked
over the compsny's books to see if their
representations were correct. The company
gave them banquet at the Duquesne last
evening.
In the party were P. F. Farrell, Chair
man of the committee; Jacob A. Jefferson,
j ohm n. Hall, DR.. George I. Caddle, j. R.
Moies, expert accountant, and w. H.
Heame, chief counsel for the company. The

leaving Mr.. Moies to go over the books and
report.
