A Disease Among Delaware Cattle.

The veterinarians who have been
investigating the cause of anthrax
among the cattle and horses at Della
ware City have reached probable
solution. A great amount of refuse
from morocco factories of the city is
put on farms as manure. The veteri-
narians find that anthrax seeds are
frequently carried in goat skins ami
that when the refuse from morocco fac
tories is dumped on the ground the
seeds are liable TO 60 out on the grass.
If the seeds get into the intestines OF
the animal il is sure TO die. The seed
is too small to be seen with the naked
eye. Under the microscope it looks
like rod, possibly five times as long
as it is thick. 1t would take about
five hundred of these rods laid length
wise to make an inch. Most of the
skins used in tobacco factories here are
brought from South America and Eu-
rope. The animals in these countries
suffer greatly from anthrax, and the
authorities of some countries have for
bidden the sale of skins of animals suf-
fering with the disease. No new fatal
cases have been reported from Della
ware City. although there are several
cows suffering with the scourge. These
have been placed in quarantine and
other measures have been taken TO pre-
vent the disease from spreading.

BEHRING SEA ARBITRATION.
Counselor Phelps Continues His Argu
ment Began on Tuesday.

| Counselor Phelps Continues His Arou-
ment Began on Tuesday.
PARIS, April 5.-The Court of Arbitra-
ton regarding the Behring Sea disputes
resumed its session. Hon. Z. J. Phelps,
counsel on behalf of the United States,
continued his argument. He contended
that the British supplementary report
was inadmissible. The admission of new
evidence at this stage, Phelps said, was
gross injustice to the United States, be-
cause 1t deprived the United States of any
chance to adduce rebutting testimony
Phelps discoursed at some length on
the technical meaning of the treaty of
arbitration and the conditions and meth
DDS of procedure to be followed under the
treaty.
Sir Charles Russell, replying in behalf
OF Great Britain, paid tribute to the late
James g. Blaine, whose ability, he said,
was recognized in both hemispheres.
The court then adjourned for luncheon.
After luncheon Phelps continued the
argument for the rejection of the supple
mentary report of the Behring Sea Com
mission. IF 1 had been guiding the
PSAANy VA OIO - hilSIl Sdlu s,
when Great Britain presented counter
case at the last minute would then and
there have refused to proceed further
with the arbitration. Great Britain's
conduct was not only unjust, but deeply
humiliating for the United States.''
Sir Richard Webster interposed re-
! mark that Great Britain announced in
the counter case the production of a
future date of the Behring Sea Commits
sioners' report.
Mr.. Phelps said he had not been aware
of this. The whole report, he said, was
Enthusiastically. and the British report
was neither answered nor commented
upon by the United States.
Sir Charles Russell said he had not ex-
pected such discussion. He felt quite nm
prepared for this extraordinary heat on
the part of the opposing counsel. He
was extremely surprised that Great
Britain should be charged with Injustice
in her conduct Ofthe proceedings prelinl-
| mary to the meeting of the court. There
was no intention on the part of Great
Britain to use the report of the Behring
Sea Commission as bearing upon the
question of right before the court, Conn
sci for the United States ATTEMPTED
throughout the sittings of the tribunal to
force this matter upon the Commission
ers, as if only one question was before
them.
Sir Charles Russell then justified the
production OF the report of the Behring
Sea Commission, arguing from the terms
of the arbitration treaty. If, he said. the
sole object of the report was to assist the
tribunal to gain information as to the
regulation of the practical matters at is
sue, the report then must be admitted to
evidence under the article governing the
procedure of the court of arbitration.
Sir Charles Russell then read the article
in question and the court adjourned.

SANTA ROSA PROGRESSING.
Vote to be Had on the Question of
Bonds for Water Works.

Vote to be Had on the Question of
Bonds for Water Works.
SANTA Rosa, April 5.-The City Coun-
Gil at meeting last night adopted an
ordinance calling an election May 9th, for
the purpose of voting Sl65, 900 in bonds
for the construction of new system OF
water works.
a few days ago the council asked Col
onel Mark L. Mcdonald, President and
principal owner of the Santa Rosa Water
Works Company, to make a proposition
for the sale of the present system. He
complied with the request, Offering to sell
his system to the city for $4,000. AS
the last sworn statement of the company
valued the works at about SI53, coo, the
council declined the proposition of sale
submitted by him.
The system to be adopted, should the
bonds carry, is the Wagner steam well
system, and it will be put in by the
National Water Supply company of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, the company which has
put in the water systems for the United
States Government at Fort Riley, Kan,
and number of other points.
The Board OF Education of Santa Rosa
at meeting Tuesday night ordered an
election to be called April Goth, for the
purpose of voting $4,000 in bonds, to be
used for the erection of a new high school
building. At present the high school
department is maintained in a building
occupied by other grades. Many of
the rooms are overcrowded and there has
been demand for better quarters for
some time.

ton for the construction of deep water
harbor, was laid over after discussion.
In the course of the discussion Frye, a
member of the Committee on Commerce,
and its Chairman in the last Congress,
made statement as to the rival claims of
San Pedro and Santa Monica for harbor
site. He spoke of the reports of the army
engineers in favor of San Pedro, but said
that notwithstanding these reports he
still favored Santa Monica. After a per-
sonal visit to both points, he thought the
testimony of the Coast Survey people and
the shipowners and sailors should be
taken, and he believed the decision of the
committee woold in favor of Santa
Monica.
MIR. Sherman thought the question one
OF engineering, not of investigation.
The matter then went over without
action.
Chandler offered a resolution desiring
the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish
the Senate with copies of all repol Is of
the Citizens National Bank OF Washing
ton, d. c., (the bank of which Senator
Roach was cashier) from 1879 to 1882, and
OF all reports made by bank examiners as
to its condition during that period.
The resolution went over, and after a
short executive session the Senate adj
journed till tomorrow.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 5.-The Sui
tan's private steamer, for the use of
guests and members of his household,
foundered Sunday. 1t is believed that
sixty persons, on board at the time, were
drowned, and that the splendid service of
silver plate on board went down with the
vessel. Details are lacking. Censors arc
suppressing all reports of the disaster.
Journals printing stories of the calamity
are seized by the authorities.
Additional information concerning the
sinking Of the Sultan's steam yacht has
given rise to rumors of plot against the
SuItan's life. The Sultan had gone to
the kiosk of the old seraglio, to worship
the mantle of Mohammed and other
relics. After his devotions he ate his
evening meal, and left by land route
for 1ildiz Kiosk. The plate used at the
meal was placed on the steam launch,
which was to carry to the palace forty or
more persons OF the imperial household.
The launch cOllided with a steamer i'm
mediately after leaving her moorings at
Sed. The steamer cut the launch almost
in two, and the launch went to the bot
tom. y few passengers were saved. The
Sultan commanded that provision be
made from his civil list for the families
OF those who were drowned

SYRACUSE On. ", April Sin a glove
fight near here, last night, Dan Donovan
of Cleveland was knocked out and has
not yet recovered consciousness. Dono-
vans opponent was Joe Dunfee of this
city, who never had fought before. For
the first five rounds Dunfee did all the
work, punching his man at will, and
nearly had him knocked out in the sec
ond round, but he was too tired to take
advantage of his opportunity.
In the sixth round Donovan went to
work and there was furious fighting,
Donovan having the best of it, and the
round ending none too soon to save
Duntee from defeat.
In the seventh round, however, Dunfee
rallied, and banged Donovan all over the
ring, knocking him down several times.
After the last blow he was unable to
move. He was picked up, taken to the
hotel and two doctors summoned, who
have been working over him ever since,
without avail, to bring him round. His
nose is badly broken and breathing was
very difficult
AT o'clock this afternoon the physi-
clans pronounced Donovan's case hope
less. He began growing weaker about
noon, without having returned to con-
seriousness. Dunfee and Referee Donohue
have been arrested.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Postoffice
Department yielded a genuine sensation
to-day. 1t was all due 10 an order issued
by the Postmaster eneral to the chief
appointment division of the Fourth As
tistant's office, directing him to give out
no information in regard to appointments
of Postmasters of the fourth class. Here
tofore complete lists of the changes made
were daily furnished to the press, and the
sudden change has excited remark. 1t
is learned that the order was issued be-
cause the President is beginning to dis

tive to cutting off heads" ''guilloine"
aud other terms more or less sportive
that are used to characterize the work
of Maxwell, Fourth Assistant. Later in
the day, however, Bissell decided not to
apply the order to the list of appoint
ments made to-day, and so these were
given out. Probably this quasi-suspen-
sion of the order will be continued, and
The list will be given out as usual.
Secretary Smith has announced that
tomorrow he would be glad to see at his
department all persons who are inter-
ested in the selection of suitable persons
to fill vacancies now existing, or which
will exist within the next thirty days, in
the Offices of Registers and Receivers of
Land Offices and also in the offices of
Survey General. The Secretary to-
day directed the removal of twenty-five
Pension Examiners now in the field. He
said the politics of Examiners had not
been considered, but the only question
taken into account was that of pro-
ficiency.

senIatives made to the head of The Treas

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Senate re-
sumed consideration of the report of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
in favor of seating Senators appointed by
the Governors of Montana, Wyoming and
Washington. Chandler spoke in support
of the report.
Palmer followed in opposition. Mr..
Palmer went on to argue the question in
detail against the right of Governors to
appoint Senators under circumstances eX-
listing in the case in question. He argued
in conclusion that if the line of construc-
ton insisted upon by the majority of the
committee was pursued, the time would
not be far distant when the power of
State Legislatures to elect Senators would
be very largely abridged, and when there
would be combinations in the States to
defeat the choice of Senators by Legls-
latures so as to insure their appointment
by Governors.
The matter went over till tomorrow.
