mons today Sir. j. G. S. Knloch. Radical,
member for East Perthshire, who had pre-

the Right Hon. Walter Long, president ofthe
board OF agriculture, whether, in view or
the enormous loss to the farmers of Scot
land resulting from the exclusion OF Canadian
store cattle from Great Britain, there was
any prospect OF reopening the British ports
to such cattle.
He did not expect an answer to this ques-
ton, he said, in view of Mr.. Long g state
ment in the House last week in introducing
the bill lamending the diseases OF animals act
OF 1894, making the restrictions placed
upon the importation OF cattle permanent
instead Of leaving them To the discretion
of the board OF agriculture, but he wished

Await the Papers

Des Moines Ia, Feb. 24.-The attorneys
for Edward ClayCom, the grave robber.
arrested here Friday for shipping stolen
bodies into the State from Omaha, applied
for and secured a writ of habeas corpus
this morning.
While the hearing was in progress
officers arrived from Omaha for Claycom,
who has been identified as leading member
of the gang of ghouls there. They learned
that the writ was likely to be issued and in
dueed the authorities here to turn the man
over To them.
They took him away from the city Jail
only short time before an Officer arrived
with the writ. When deputy sheriff ap-
peared with the writ and demanded thepris-
oner, he was told that the man had been set
at liberty. The Omaha officers had no
authority to take the man out of the State,
not having had time to secure their re-
QUESTION papers.
They took Claycom to a private place
where he is now confined in room and
closely guarded. He will be kept until the
requisition papers come, unless the sheriff
with the habeas corpus writ finds him.
Every effort is being made to serve the
writ but without success thus far.
