cause of the trouble was an old feud over
land matters, which are adjoining. The

description OF every step III the process of

and its developments. The factory at
Frankfort to which he refers Is the

Indiana.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1l.-Aid from unex-
pected sources has come to the Indiana
authorities, who have for two months
been racking their brains as to the best
method Of closing and keeping closed
the race track at Roby, Ind. An epi-
demic of smallpox has broken out there,
and there is a wild scramb!ing among
the stablemen and jockeys to reach
healthful locality. The authorities OF
Illinois have for some time been keeping
close watch on the track to prevent too
many hangers-on of the place from in
vading Chicago. Every jockey or stable
man who cannot show an approximation
to a clean Dill OF health is told that Chi
cago has troubles enough of it's own
without importing them from the Roby
track. When the man shows symptoms
OF smallpox he is promptly taken to the
pesthouse. A census being taken, it was
found that seven men from the ROby
track, all with smallpox in it's worst
form, had been brought to the pesthouse
within three days. The Chicago authori-
ties were poWerless to move against the
plague, as it is under the jurisdiction of
the Indiana Board of Health.

MONTICELLO (IIl.l, Jan. ia danger
Gus cattle disease has made it's appearance
in this county. State Veterinary Surgeon
Tennbower pronounces it the corn
stalk" disease. 1t is caused by feeding
the cattle cornstall fodder that has a
rusty fungus growth, which attacks the
corn during its development and stunts
its growth, turning the stalks and blades
a rusty color. This fungus germ is taken
into the stomach, and thence into the sys-
tenn. 1t affects the brain and causes par
aiysis, and in many cases the animal will
be found dead before it is dlscov-
cred. The first symptom is slight
trembling of the body and linn bs.
The severity Of the attack rap
idly increases until the animal is
unable to stand. When the vic
TINS fall of no signs OF pain are shown,
but they pass into a comatose state and
die in from one to six hours.

Warner, President of the Bimetallic
League, admitted to-day that conference
of leading bimetallists from the different
parts of the country had been held in this
city recently. ''It was the decision of
the conference" he said, that strong
and growing sentiment is manifesting
itself in favor OF uniting the friends OF
bimetallism in bimetallic party and an
appeal directly to the people on money
issues alone. The consideration which
seems to be leading to this result is the
widespread conviction that there is no
hope OF restoring the bimetallic stand
ard through the Republican party
or through the Democratic party as now
controlled, and on the other hand it is
equally impossible to accomplish this re-
suit within the lines of the Populist
party, or to unite on the Omaha platform
those in favor of fostering the bimetallic
standard as it was before 1885"

Ject. The Senate had no moral right to
refuse the appropriation. If the law is
bad, it is the law, and Congress was
bound to furnish the money necessary TO
carry the law into effect. The best way
to reform the law was to enforce it. If
the Senate failed to appropriate the
money necessary to carry the law into
| effect, 1t failed to do its duty. 1t was a
| violation OF the Constitution to ATTEMPT
to. change the recent tariff. There was
no Justification in Withholding the appro-
priation. Such course was destructive
OF forms of legislation.
| Mr.. Hill, in reply to Mr.. Sherman,
stated that he could not agree with him
IN the contention denying the right of tn 9
Senate to act originally on the question.

ought not to be any difference of opinion
among Senators in regard to the PROPOSE
tlon. FIRST, that the appropriation pro-
| posed IN the pending bill ought to be
made, and, second, the amendment Of
Tered by the Senator from New York
ought TO be adopted.
The discussion was further participated
IN by Allison and White. At this point
Morgan (Dem.) of Alabama raised the
point of order against the amendment,
holding that it was general legislation on

so ruled.
