Against cattle Importation.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The agitation
against live cattle imports is gaining
strength. Following the Times, the
Morning Post says: In the presence OF
the grave danger of the spread of the
disease to British herds the most obvious
dictates OF common sense say close the
English ports. We are spending millions
OF pounds to suppress disease among
home animals, yet with inexplicable fa-
tuity, leave the doors open at the ports
The closure of the ports to live animals
would make no difference to the imports
OF dead meat nor raise the price.

rendered to him by French Journalist,
who subsequently published full ac.
count of his connection with the affair,
Padlewski was smuggled out of France,

within short time that Padlewski
made his way to the United States and
that he either committed saicide or was

conventionality that attend all musical
endeayors based primarily upon the good

bitterly and justly of the querulous, carp

result is that next season the directors
