membership, to a deaconate, and finally to
the dignified Office of sexton and chief bell

New York, Oct. 27.-Chairman John

question as to Democratic prospects in
New York:
"We are conducting this campaign
with decency toward our political OPP
ponents. We do not allow even most
e1citable partisans to indulge in person
alities. am glad to say that our friends,
the enemy, are conducting their canvass
on the same high plane, and the people
are to be congratulated. The day of de-
famation and scurrility in American
politics is gone. hope, forever. Such
methods always reacted against the party
practicing them, and brought support to
the victim. Calumny has always been
outrun IN the political race by sympathy.
"The Republicans are confining them
selves apparently to national issues. The
Democrats are pressing the work of the
constitutional convention and the dangers
from revival of know-nothingism as the
most vital issues.
"The marked improvement in business
as the natural result of tariff legislation
is doing its own powerful work.
THE PROBABLE RESULT.
"What is the outlook?"
"All our reports indicate that, in the
country, the situation has not been so fa-
vorable for the last ten years. There is
perfect union within our party lines, from
Buffalo to Harlem Bridge. The coming
week will show, believe, united party
in New York and Brooklyn.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The following
was sent to Acting Secretary of Agricul-
ture Charles W. Dabney by the secretary
of state to-day: referring to your COM
munication in regard to the prohibition
on American cattle and fresh beef by
Germany please represent to the Ameri-
can ambassador that Texas fever is not
communicated by diseased cattle, SO even
If the reported discovery of this disease
be true there is no danger to German
cattle; also that the meat of cattle affected
by this disease has never been shown to
be dangerous to consumers. This gov
ernment inspects all meat exports and
certifies that the cattle were free from
disease when slaughtered. vigorous
protest should therefore be entered
against proposed action"
1t is said to be extremely improbable
that the diseased cattle could have been
shipped for the reason that all exporta-
tions are absolutely prohibited from the
zone in the southern section of the United
States where the disease appears, and the
rigid inspection system would prevent
any such cattle from reaching New York
or eastern ports. 1t is admitted to be
within the bounds of possibility that
some cattle cars with soil and water from
Texas might have gotten in the northwest
and thus have caused one or two cases of
fever, but it is said to be very improb-
able,
