THE CATTLE QUARANTINE
Arizona Wants No Stock From Califor.
mia Pastures
Arizona 1s Also Guaranteed by New
Mexico and Makes Loud Wall
Therefor.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 27.-On the 25th
quarantine was ordered in New Mexico
against cattle frorh California and from
Arizona south of the line of the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad, on the ground that
splenic fever exists in such regions. In
answer to the prohibition, Colin Gamer
on, chairman of the Arizona live stock
sanitary commission, said tonight
There is not now and never has been
any splenic fever in Arizona"
w. E. Hill, agent of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, found few Texas fever
ticks (boophilus bovis) on cattle ship
ped from Tempe, Arizona to Los An
,geles. Cal. The Arizona sanitary COM
mission traced these ticks direct to CAL
ifornia cattle. The general government
will issue no quarantine against Ari-
IONA because there is no necessity ex-
listing for such quarantine. Arizona
quarantined against California cattle
on the 7th of January. They are abso-
lutely prohibited entering the territory.

DIMMICK'S DEATH
Was Probably Suicide-There Are Sus-
picious Circumstances

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 27-Although sus-
picious circumstances surround the
death of N. B. Dimmick through being
burned, it is generally believed it was
suicide. But what the motive was can
not be ascertained. The fire in the house
was a smoldering one. Two beds, some
boxes and clothing were saturated with
coal oil. Near the body was bucket
and broom evidently having been used
in the distribution of the oil. Whether
Dimmick started the fire Intentionally
intending to escape, or deliberately to
commit suicide is yet an open question.
Indications go to show that he poured
oil on his clothes, ignited it and was
burned to death. During the forenoon Of
yesterday he told neighbors that he had
a prospect of selling the place and in
tended to move to San Diego. AS he had
complained of pain in his head to his
wife before she left the house, it is
thought he became insane and killed
himself.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA crisis in
the debate on the Nicaragua canal bill
was reached in the senate late today.
1t brought out an energetic statement
from Senator Sherman, in which he
foreshadwode a new treaty by which the
United States can build the canal with
out the intermediation of private con-
cession. The senator declared that gov
ernmental execution of the project
was the only feasible one, and that all
private efforts in the direction had
proved failures. Answering Mr.. Nor
gan's recent charge that England in
spired opposition to American control,
Mr.. Sherman asserted that this was q
"buga boo" wholly without foundation.
He added handsome tribute to Eng
land and her institutions.
Villas followed with a motion to re-
commit the canal bill to the committee
on foreign relations, step which Mr..
Morgan characterized as an insult.
The motion was changed SO as to make
the recommittal to a special commit
tee, of which Mr.. Morgan is chairman.
The senate adjourned before vote was
taken and the Villas motion to recon-
nit is pending
The military academy appropriation
bill, carrying approximately $179, 900, was
passed, after the defeat of the amend
ment for participation Of the West Point
cadets in the Inauguration ceremonies.
The amendment led to a sharp contro-
verSy between Allen of Nebraska and
Gray of Delaware.
The bill for an International monetary
conference was not reached during the
day.
In the senate today Frye Of Maine
occupied the chair in the absence Of the
vice president. The military academy
appropriation bill was taken up Chan
dler endeavored to have the bill laid
aside in order to proceed with the meas
ure for an international monetary con-
ference, but Pettigrew objected. Chan
dler thereupon announced that the mon
etary conference bill would be urged
later, and to a conclusion, he hoped. A
long discussion followed on the proposed
amendment to the West Point appro-
priation bill The bill provides that the
cadets shall attend the inauguration
ceremonies. Proctor of Vermont ar
gued that the law should be made per-
manent for the attendance of the cadets
at the inaugural. Gray of Delaware
opposed the amendment saying the vis-
1t would not be in line with military
education.
Il understand" interrupted Allen of
Nebraska. that the senator from Del
aware Gray gave his great influence
to electing Republican president, and
why should he object to bringing these
young gentlemen here at the consumma-
tion of that event?"
The senate rejected the proposition,
Yeas, 20; nays, 20.

IN THE HOUSE
Conference Report on the Immigration
Bill Is Adopted

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The house
today after debate of four hours
adopted the conference report on the inn
migration bill by vote of 191 to 11S.
The principal criticism of the measure
agreed on by the conferees in debate
today was based upon the extension Of
| the educational test to female as well
| as male immigrants, on the ground that
| it might divide families, and to the linn
| itation to the ability of an immigrant to
| read and write the English language or
| the language of their native country or
residence. Speeches were made by
Messrs Buck (Dem) of Louisiana, Dol
! liver (Rep) of Iowa, Bartholdt (Rep.)
of Missouri, Parker (Rep.) of New Jer-
sey, Walker (Rep.) of Massachusetts,,
Cannon (Rep.) of Illinois, Grosvenor
| (Rep) of Ohio and Boatner (Dem.) of
Louisiana in opposition, and Messrs.
Danford (Rep) of Ohio Hepburn Rep)
of Iowa and Stone (Rep.) of Pennsyl-
vania. johnson (Rep.) of Indiana, Corr
liss (Rep) of Ohio in it's support.
In accordance with the notice given
Monday. Danford (Rep.) of Ohio today
called up the conference report on the
immigration bill. An agreement was
| reached that a vote be taken on the
adoption of the report at Ais o'clock.
Danford then made the opening argu-
ment in support of the report. AS it
passed the house he said,t the bill applied
the educational test only to males. This
test was now extended to females. This
extension caused the principal antago-
| nism to the adoption of the conference
report, on the ground that it would sep
arate families Husbands might be adj
missible and wives excluded. or vice
versa

the Chicago division of the railway mail
service. When it passes into the Pacific
division at Spokane, Wash, it will be
met by Superintendent Flint, who will
remain with it until it leaves his ter
ritory again at Albuquerque, NJ M
