CATTLE FROM FRANCE
Can Not Be Shipped to This Country,
Owing to Disease.

Washington, June 5.-The French gov
eminent has made a formal protest
eminent against the retaIiatOry action
Of this government in putting an alb
s0lute embargo on French cattle
A recent Associated Press dispatch
from Havre announced that the United
States consul had refused to permit
shipment of five French cattle to the
United States. This rigid enforcement
of the prohibition of importation of
meat cattle and their hides from cOun-
tries infected with cattle diseases in
Guiding France, is directly due to the
aggressive policy of countries like
France and Germany, in endeavoring
on one pretext or another to exclude
American cattle and meats.
The effect of the proclamation, whose
issuance has just attracted general at
tention, has been the complete stoppage
Of shipping cattle from France and
Germany ever since last November. but
it was not until our consul, Mr. Chan
cellor, stopped a shipment from Havre
a few days ago, that French shippers
ava yened to the fact.

THE GOVERNOR is PLEASED
With the Work Being Done at the
Asylum For the Blind.

Governor Morrill, has returned from
Kansas City, X an. where he presented
the diplomas to the graduates of the
state asylum for the blind at its COM
menCement
In speaking of the asylum. Governor
Morrill, said this morning.
II have made it one of my rules to
table Institutions, and my visit to the
blind asylum was partially for the pur-
pose of inspection, as well as being
present at the commencement.
There were eleven graduates, six
girls and five boys. and they have made
rapid advancement in the time they
have been in the institution The pu-
pills enter the school at an early age
and stay until they are capable of sup
porting themselves or are transferred
elsewhere.
To one not familiar with the work
ings of the institutions, it would seem
wonderful the work the pupils are
taught to do. For instance. one of the
girls who had left the school a few
years ago and is now in Indiana, was
present at the commencement exercises
She is now taking care of her aged
grandparents and does all the house
work Aside from this. she is able to
support herself and her grandparents
by selling bread and pastry"
The boys in the Institution have no
trade but that of brOOmmaking and
this is quite an industry "a large num-
Der of the boys make these brOOms for
which they are paid, and the proceeds
from the sale of the brOOms brings in
considerable to the asylum"
The governor may go to Osawatomie
to inspect the insane asylum Saturday.

rash stateSment that he could not only

a year but he could keep it up for four
years and talk only by his Yentrilo-
quail powers.
I'm bet you $4,000 you can't do it.
said Cash Henderson.
If there is one thing Mold respects it
is his word and if there is one thing he
would not be it is blumed so he took the
bet.
The start was made with a good deal
of ceremony. Mold left Wichita pen

coll he was accompanied by r. r.
Klnnaird who was to be a sort of press
agent and manager
Kinnaird did not stick long. He be-

Another change was made in that Mold

The Russian Project of Police to Blame
For the Moscow Disaster.
Moscow,June 5.-Eye witnesses OF the
terrible and fatal crush on the Khod
ijnskoje plain last Saturday agree that
NJ. Vlassovsky, project of police is
chiefly to blame for the disaster. He
huhily refused military offers Of troops
to control the crowd, declaring that he
knew his own business. and that there
was no need of any fear of an accident
Popular feeling against VIassovsky is
intense and his name has become a
curse among the pOpulace, who armed
with bottles and stones, would have
lynched him this afternoon upon his ar
irving at the plain if he had not had
his route lined with troops and himself
strongly escorted.
It appears that during the crush a
number of COssacks finding themselves
surrounded freely used their whips
upon the crowd. in order to force their
way out. Three were torn from their
saddles and were killed, and this led ro
the fight of the others. A number Of
peasants were drowned in the watts of
beer provided for the feast into which
they plunged in order to secure the
LIQUOR.
