FATAL AMONG HORSES
DISEASE THAT PUZZLES LOCAL
VETERINARY SURGEONS.
Three Fatal Cases-Thought to Be n
Mild Form of Epizootic-Trouble Is
Not Contagious-Th Details.

A disease has developed lately
among horses that is puzzle to the
veterinary surgeons. So far only
three cases have been brought to their
attention-two animals belonging to
William Larsen and the other the
property of Robert Atkinson, discov-
cred this morning.
Drs. Shaw and Monsarrat were seen
this morning about the strange NAL
ady and both declare they have never
seen anything of the kind before, and
as result both gentlemen were dis
inclined to commit themselves. They,
disease, and both expressed positive
opinions that the trouble was not con-
tagious. Horse owners have been con-
siderably worried during the week, es-
pecially so when the veterinarians
were unable to save any of the animals
attacked so far. Both Drs. Shaw and
Monsarrat say no alarm need be felt
over the advent OF the disease.
DR.. Shaw, Government veterinary,
while being unable to make fixed
declaration to the new malady, re-
ported the cases to the Government as
catarrhal fever. He explained the
symptoms to be general swelling of
the limbs of the animal when first at
tackled, followed by an increased alb
domen and putting out of the nostrils,
making breathing difficult. A slight
discharge of discolored blood general
ly flows from the nostrils, the result
of internal inflammation.
DR.. Monsarrat, while equally as
eyasive concerning the disease as DIR.
Shaw, thought the symptoms justified
the malady being a non-contagious
eruptive fever, an aftermath of the
epizootic which has been prevailing
among horses here for some weeks.
His opinion was equally positive that
the disease, whatever it might be
termed or discovered to be, was not
contagious.
! The animal last attacked, belonging
to Robert Atkinson, is -eing thorough
/ ly examined this afternoon by both
the veterinary surgeons in the hope of
discovering something definite con-
cerning its ailment.

was dropped.
The letter was called for at the ses-
sion of 1880, but neither was it or any
copy of it to be found. Its character
had demanded it's destruction as soon
as it had served the purpose for which
it was designed. On this account the
writer denounced the action of the
chief justice in the matter of the
Kings letter to the Legislature, but
nothing resulted from the motion for

Mclean has stepped down and out. I
will be obliged TO assume command
and will do so. The rumor that you
say is prevalent regarding my promo
tion to the colonelship is new to me-"
Lieut.. Col. Fisher was temporarily
in command of the Regiment from
July 5, 1894, after the retirement of
Lieut.. Col. Soper, until May of 1895,
when Col. Mclean arrived.
1t is quite likely that Col. MsLean
will turn over his command tomorrow.
He will probably leave Hawaii on the
Doric, which sails for San FIa1cisco
on February Z. After remaining in
Frisco for few days he will go direct
to his home in New York. AS yes Col.
Mclean has no plans for the future.

Foreign Affairs. | regret exceed ingly
that / am obliged to leave my Homo

conclusion l would say that l have no
criticisms whatever to make concern
ing my retirement"
President Dole and Minister CooIer
have expressed themselves in the
strongest terms, approving the good
work accomplished by Col. Mclean in
building up the Regiment.
| At 2:3O o'clock this afternoon the
Commander-in-Chi announced that
the resignation had been accepted, to
take effect at once. .....
Previous to his assuming command
of the n. G. H., Col. Mclean had been
identified with the United States naval
service for twenty years. He has
served on many men-of-war, travers-
ing the ocean under the colors of that
country, among them being the PEN
sacola, Trenton, Marion, Swatara, Van
Dalia and Powhatan. At the time he
was engaged to take command of the
Hawaiian army Col. Mclean was Of
tered the command of the Brazilian
warship El Cid, afterwards known as
the Nitcheroy. This ship was to go in
to campaign and Col. Mclean was
offered $4,000 to take her into the SER
vice. He declined the offer, thinking
that the proposition from the Hawaii
an Government more lasting.
The National Guard of Hawaii has
improved remarkably in efficiency
under Col McLean's administration.
His work here is highly appreciated
by the Government.

Pennsylvania and the Cabinet.

1t did not need Senator Quay's as
surance to convince unprejudiced men
that his visit to Canton was not for
the purpose of circumscribing the
president-eleCts choice of a cabinet. A
presidents cabinet is peculiarly mat
ter for his personal selection. He Is
responsible TO no man for its compo-
sition, and Senator Quay, even if ne
had the disposition to interfere, would
be the first to recognize the practical
futility as well as the political danger
of an attempted interference. AS one
of the prominent leaders of his party
and as the responsible manager, under
Chairman Hanna, of McKinley's east
ern campaign he was in a position
without impropriety to offer to the
president-eleCt for his considerati tion the
name of a Pennsylvania in a cabinet
connection; but to infer that such a
suggestion carried with it an implied
menace of possible opposition in the
event of its not receiving favorable at
tention is to ascrba to a man of es-
tablished magnanimity the petulance of
a child.
The report that the name thus men
toned to Major Mckinley was that of
Governor Hastings, while not to our
knowledge authenticated, is wholly
credible. 1t is known that Senator
Quay would gladly do what lies within
his power to bring new recognition to
Pennsylvania chief executive: and it
is also known that the president elect
is numbered among Governor Hast
ings warmest admirers. For aught we
know, the latter's name may have been
under consideration prior to the visit
to Canton of our two senator's; the ru-
mors that the Pennsylvania whom
Major Mckinley had in mind was Mr.
Smith instead rests so far as we know
wholly upon guess work. Mr.. Smith
himself says he does not know any
thing about it, and from Canton moth
ing authoritative has come

Tie Pure Food Problem.

The decision by Judge Hemphill of
Chester county, that the present pure
food law is unconstitutional confirms
a suspicion previously very general
among laymen Excellent in intent.
the law was grossly defective in detail
and opened the door as often to perse-
cution as to justfiable prosecution. one
of its worst features was that 1t made
the retail dealer liable to arrest for
selling a rotten egg or a pound of adul-
terated coffee, although in both in
stances he might be entirely the vic
tim of misrepresentation The fact
that it drew no line between innocence
and guilt ON the part of retailers and
threw insufficient responsibility on the
first parties in fraud--the manufacture
ers who aduterate food at the factory
or mill--condemned it as inequitable
even before the court branded it as
also out of harmony with the constitu-
ton.
Now that this whole subject will
come again before the legislature it
may not be amiss to point out how this
problem of food adulteration is treated
in certain European countries. In
France. for instance, the law reads:
"Those who shall sell or expose for sale
food substances or commodities or
medicines which they shall know to
be adulterated or spoiled" shall be ad-
judged guilty. Instead of relying upon
convictions, just or unjust, to deter
adulteration, they have in Paris a care
fully evolved system. embracing a
laboratory of chemistry in connection
with the department of police, a part
of the work of which is to analyZe free
of cost samples furnished by citizens.
Thus, in the words of a writer who
has made careful study of the subject,
the rights of trades people are care
fully guarded, and intelligence and ad-
Vanced thought are brought to play
rather than careless and brutal snap
methods having the securing of con-
VictiOns instead of justice mainly in
view" In Germany carelessness in the
preparation or handling of food pro-
ducts is punishable equally with de-
liberate guilt, and in England the law
provides that no conviction is to take
place if the person accused did not
know of the unwholcsomeness of the
article of food or drug sold by him and
could not with reasonable diligence
have obtained that knowledge
The difficulties in way of an adjust
ment of the law which, while being
adeguate for the punishment of all
dealers who deliberately impose i'm
pure articles on the public, will yet fall
short of being a possible instrument Of
oppression in the hands of enemies, are
many. 1t is not strange that the first
effort of the Legislature to solve so
complicated a problem should result
disastrously. The second attempt will
profit by experience and doubtless
achieve success.

John Sherman's Foreign Policy.

1t is recalled that in 1887, after a visit
to Cuba, Senator Sherman said:
| don't think we want Cuba as an an
pendage of the United States. | would
not favor annexation. In spite of the
drains upon her, Cuba is enormously rich
in resources, and is large consumer of
our products, on which at present the
heavy Spanish duties rest. What | would
favor would be a reciprocity treaty with
Spain, as to Cuba, so that we might send
our goods there, instead of forcing the
Cubans to buy of England, France and
Germany. We could do the island much
more good by trading with her ON am equal
basis than we ever can by anneXing her
In his recently published book of me-
moirs occur certain passages which
further tend to foreshadow his prob
able attitude as secretary of state. one
relates to a speech made by him in 1856
in which he argued for the annexation
of Canada. The Memoirs say of this:
This was my opinion then, but further
reflection convinces me that the annex
alton of Canada to the United States pre-
sents serious difficulties, and that the best
policy for the other English speaking
countries is that Canada should constitute
an independent republic, founded upon
the model Of the United States, with one
central government, and provinces con-
verted into states with limited powers for
local government The United States al
ready embraces so vast country, divided
into forty-four states ana four territories,
exclusive OF Alaska ana the Indian terri
tory, that any addition to the number of
states would tend to weaken the system,
and the conversion of the province of
