Senator Stewart has offered joint
resolution proposing sixteenth amend
ment to the constitution, which states
NO person who has held the Office OF
president for four years, or any part
thereof, shall be eligible to that office
within four years after the expiration OF
such term" The resolution provides
that the amendment shall not take ef-
feet until after March 4, 1897. Mr.
Stewart said he thought an extension of
the presidential term was Objectionable,
because that would make the stake too
great and might some time lead to rev.
olutlon. The great advantage of the
amendment would be the removal of all
temptation on the part of the president
to use the appointing power for re-
election.
Much uneasiness is felt by American
stock owners and by Secretary Rusk on
account Of a serious outbreak of foot and
mouth disease in Great Britain Many
sheep are imported into the United
States from Great Britain, and as these
animals are very subject to the contagion
Of foot and mouth disease it is feared
that it will be introduced by them into
the United States, in spite of the quar-
antine now enforced. If the disease con-
tlnues to prevail in Great Britain it will
no doubt be necessary, it is said, for
this government to entirely prohibit the
introduction of cattle, sheep, goats and
swine until the outbreak has been com
pletely suppressed. This disease does
not exist on the American continent.

1t is now said that scheme of a syn
licate of English and American capital
SITS to buy all the leading type foundries
f this country and consolidating them
n the nature of trust, is to be con-
all but two of the concerns
aving come into the combination. The
Ian as reported is not to buy the foun-
ries outright, but to form them into a
reat combination in the nature of a
rust. One-third Of the purchase price !
each foundry is to be paid outright in {
ash, one third in preferred stock of the
corporation and one-third in ;;
rdinary stock. The total valuation Of ,
Il the companies whose options are now {
cid is said to reach close to S15OOOOOO. {
he principal benefit from the combina-
on will come in avoiding the competi
