Dairy Evils.
Reference is made to the bad condition of
dairy farms outside of the District and the
statement is made that tie people of the
District are drinking very considerable
quantity of milk from diseased cows. He
points out the remedy for this condition to
investigate the dairy farms in the adjoin-
ing states.
Reference is made to the work Of the de-
partment, in charge of the examination of
milk. OF the pa samples examined, IA per

been SKINNED. and per cent had been
both watered and skinned; 20.65 per cent
of the entire number had been tempered

Attention is called to the urgent neces-
OF refuse by the government. The health
of q community. he says. depends quite as
much upon municipal cleanliness as does
the health Of the Individual upon personal
hygiene: yet the District makes no pro-
vision for the removal Of refuse other than
garbage. He urges in this connection the
removal Of ashes by the general govern
OF the city.
During the year there impounded 2,96a
dogs, sixty horses, twelve mules thirteen
COWS, one pig. four goats and seven reese.
making a total OF 3.064 animals OF all
kinds. OF these, 2. 10 were killed, seventy
two were sold and 2s2 redeemed. He urges
q new pound and says the present fnstifu-
tion Is entirely inadequate for the needs OF
the department. He estimates that 10000
will build new pound. Reference Is made
to the legislation during the year, and the
benefits therefrom are discussed.

nation Be Accepted.

New York, Feb. 25.-The World this
morning has the following dispatch from
Washington. dated Feb. q:
The resignation of Consul Genera Ice,
forwarded from Havana by mali. has
been received.
A cablegram was received at the state
department today from Minister Taylor,
saying that Minister De LONE has ad-
vised the Madrid government to accede
to any request the United States gov
eminent might make. All the cores
pondence relating to the arrest and i'm
prisonment of Sylvester Scovile is being
prepared by the state department 70,
transmission to the senate.
President Cleveland has sent person.
al dispatch. urging General Lee to re.
consider his resignati ton. basing his re-
quest partly on the ground of past
friendship.
IN response to this. the president re
ceived a long Geographic communica.
ton from the general, informing him, in
plain terms. of his controversies with
Secretary Olney as to what constitutes
proper protection of American citizens
in Cuba. He complained that his use
Ao'iANSo AieAo OSSAA illlpdH GU dllu Olt-
ciai position degraded by instructions
and admonitions. He felt that he had
been unreasonably and outrageoucly
snubbed. and the period of endurance
had passed.
While assuring the president that his
high regard and friendship for him had
not in the least degree lessened, and that
he was not unmindful of favors be-
slowed upon him. General Lee did not
see how his resignation could be with
drawn without disqualification. He
would like tofoblige the president, but
his action already taken could not be
changed.
7 In much shorter dispatch, General
Lee notified Secretary Olney that his
conclusion to Immediately retire from
the office of consul general was final.
The letter of resignation was received
today at the state department. 1t was
mailed on the steamer leaving Havana
Saturday, instead Of Monday, as had
been announced. As to the contents OF
this letter. nothing has leaked out, ex.
cept that it contains a formal, uncon.
ditional resignation.
Secretary Olney cabled to General
Lee that under no circumstances woulo
his resignation be accepted.

but it is the first time they have

Ing around the Forest City. they kick
with just cause. To be concise, il Is
town talk that the game was thrown
deliberately and with malice afore-
thought, and that the 1900 odd Portland
dollars that are now in the Shipping
City got there via crooked track.
At least orie member of the local team
and some of the management are in
cluded in the deal by the kickers. and
loud and long are the invectives hurled
at them. the team and the sport in
general. Ordinarily a Portland man
who would back his team against the
Tigers would expect to lose. but such
individuals claim that they were
drawn into the scheme by tempting
odds. such as SO to 40. 25 to is and even
more alluring figures. Whether the
excitement will die away when next
pay day comes around is question
that time alone can answer. Certain
it is that the sporting fraternity are
greatly exercised and also in state
of financial embarrassment"

as do the appropriation measures. and
especially in view of the treatment of
Sanguilly and the repeated violations of
the treaty rights of Americans in the

this morning, and the committee reached
the unanimous conclusion that the Sem
