LUMPYJ JAW DURABLE
The REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF
ANIMAL INDUSTRY.
DR.. saInon's Reports of the Experiments
Of the bureau With Remedy for Acti-
nOmicosis = Successfully Treated-Ehe
Disease is not Contagious.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. = Secretary
Rusk has received from DIR. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
areport of the experiments and investi-
cations being made in Chicago in the
treatment of cattle for actinomycosis, or
''lumpy jaw"
The report concludes that the remedy
tried, iodide of potassium. is a remarka-
BILE success, IS per cent. of cat
tie there treated has been cured. The
greater part of these were very seriously
affected when taken for treatment. The
report shows the cost of treatment to be
trihing by comparison with the results,
and it is also proved that the disease is
not contagious, twenty-one head of
healthy cattle having been confined in
close quarters with the diseased for
three months without showing any
signs of being infected.
The report severely arraigns the live
stock commissioners of the state of Hi
uois for what it regards as arbitrary and
inconsistent rulings by which grave
loss have been inflicted upon stock
ow eeking a market for their stock
in ago Animals have been con-
demned without proper appraisement and
the owners have not received fair COM
pensation for the carcasses. DIR. Salmon
charges, moreover, unjustifiable enter
prise on the part of the commissioners
with the experiments of the bureau.

Waggoner ont of the Race.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Jan. l6.-An under
standing has been reached between
Honorable Bailey Waggoner and Colonel
A. A. Harris, whereby Mr.. Waggoner
will retire from the canvass for the
United States senatorship in the interest
of Colonel Harris, and he will in few
DAYS publicly announce his withdrawal
from the fight. A conference was held
here couple of days ago between Mr..
Waggoner and one of the most trusted
heutenants of Colonel Harris, and it is
given out that sufficient pressure was
brought to bear upon Mr.. Waggoner to
induce him to retire from the contest
and that the public announcement of
the fact is only withheld from considera-
lions of policy.

WEDNESDAY-No business was done by

FRIDAY-The senate, after an explanation
by Mr.. Sherman. passed a bill to extend to
the North Pacific ocean the provisions of the
statute for the protection of fur seals and
other fur bearing animals.
The Republicans in the house flibustered
all day against the consideration of private

was accomplished.
MONDAY-In the senate some amendments
to the anticipation bill were agreed to- one of
them fixing the 1st of July. 1893, as the time
when the bill is to go into effect.
The Republicans in the house filibustered
for some time against the motion to suspend
the rules and pass joint resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment for the election of
United States senators by the popular vote,
but in the end permitted it to be carried with
out division.

BLATNE,s DISEASE.
Its Nature withheld from the Public by
Request of the Family.

It's Nature withheld from the Public by
Request of the Family.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l:.-Mr. Blaine's
disease remains mystery to all but the
family and the attending physicians.
The latter decline, without the express
authority of the family, to divulge the
nature of the complaint which has now
kept their patient continuously in bed
for seven or eight weeks, with constantly
diminishing strength and frequent
Sinking spells" threatening immediate
dissolution. Mr.. Blaine has at various
times in recent years been treated by
physicians other than those in immedi-
ate attendance upon him at the present
time. In the list are: DR.. N. S. Lin
coin. one of the most popular consulting
physicians in, Washington; DIR. q. S.
Magruder, a Washington physician; DR..
Dennis of New York and Bar Harbor,
and others. Not one of these gentlemen
is able to state the nature of Mr.. Blaine's
organic disease. One of them, how
ever, said that he had once prepared an
Ineligible bulletin as to Mr.. Blaine's
condition, but was peremptOrily re-
quested to withhold it from publica-
ton. He added: ''The real nature of
Mr.. Blaine's illness will probably only
be made known when the certificate Of
the health Office is made public, and
fear that will occur before long"
