After the transaction of routine busi-
ness in the house, the confederation of the
pension bills was resumed.
In speaking of one of the bills, where
the pension bureau had denied the pen
sion asked for, Mr.. Bland, dem, of Mis-
souri,, said that the house should encour-
age every department in acting In strict
compliance with the spirit and letter of
the law. 1t was the habit of members to
tax the departments with extreme liberal
department which WAS carrying out the
Law, If this we're so there was no honesty
in their criticisms.
Mr.. Picker, rep, of South Dakota ia
vored the bill The gentleman from Mis-
souri, (Mr Bland). he said, had advanced
the proposition that economy should begin
by cutting off pensioners. The gentleman
had almost W. pt tears that the country
could not have the money that was granted
| In pensions for the Improvement of rivers
and harbors The time had not yet come
when the nation would say that the men
who had saved the country would not be

poorhouse. That they should be entirely

defenders in their old age.
Mr. Bland denied that he was opposed
to the granting of pensions that wore do
served and expressed his disposition te
deal literally with every man who had
been disabled by wounds or disease in the
service.
The bill was finally defeated after thre,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--According to the
report of Secretary Rusk on the operations
of the bureau of animal industry for the
year 1892, laid before tho senate to day,
the work of stamping out plsuro-pneumo-
mia has been carried on as rapidly as was
possible under the prevailing conditions of
the country, and the disease completely
disappeared. "The success of this branch
OF the work of the bureau, therefore" Seo-
tetary Rusk adds, s'has been complete, and
this dangerous and much dreaded disease
has been eradicsted from our soil, and the
United States Is the first of the large ma
lions of the world which, having been once
extensively infected, has been able to COM
pletely extirpats It. The time required
was only about five years, and the total
expenditure little in excess of 81, $780,
"The regulations for preventing the dis
semination of Texas fever have not hinder
ed the shipment of cattle from the infected
districts to the markets for slaughter, nor
have they deprecated the value of these
cattle. The numerous large outbreaks of
disease which have been the rule in for
mer seasons have not occurred, and with
the exception of an outbreak in Western
Texas and one in Lyons and adjoining
counties in Kansas, none have been re-
ported"

Six Persons Killed and Thirty Seriously
Injured by An Accident La Spain.
MADRID. July 17.-A dispatch from
Bilboa, capital of the province of Bis
caya, in northern Spain, says
that a terrible railroad accident
occurred in that province Friday
night. A train consisting of q
locomotive and six carriages, while
rounding sharp curve in the noun
tains, ran off the track and went over
q high precipice. Six persons were
killed and thirty seriously injured.
Many Of the victims are MEM
bers OF the best Basque fam,-
lies. The . provincial government
authorities and number of ply
sicians faye started for the scene of the
accident. Owing to the mountainous
character of the country and the fact
that the train fell into the val
ley it is extremely difficult to
get to the sufferers to relieve
them The place where the train went
over the precipice is at the head of a val
ley noted for its picturesqueness. 1t is
about midway between the villages of
Auzuola and Vergara.
