Cattle Dipping Station.

| The second cattle-dipplng sta
 ti0n to be erected in the United States has juat been completed at Mammoth Spring, ArK., and the first experiment had last Saturday
 According to the Mammoth Spring Democrats description of the plant, the grounds cover some two and a half acres. just on the state line between Arkansas and Missouri, and are so arranged that the cattle are driven into pens i'll Arkansas and allowed to pass through an oil vat or pool, Al feet long and z feet deep, filled with 3, 800 gallons of chemical oil that destroys the ticks (the source of the fever). At the Arkansas end is a cattle shute, the end of which has a platform that swings upon a pivot, so thata brute stepping up on this platform IS tumbled, head first, into the vat of oil, out Of which he swims to an incline on the Missouri side, and then climbs this incline to a dripping platform where the surplus oil runs off and back into the vat. Afterwards the brute IS turned into a pen in Missouri and is then entitled to all the benefits of native Missouri cattle, to any point in that state.

Down at Jackson, Miss, where the man KiIgore died of the fever the people feel very serene and confident of security. The wife of the deceased was sent out of town and passed through Memphis Tuesday. People living in neigh boring houses who by any poss- lbility might have been ill contact with the infected person, and who for some time have been isolated and closely guarded, have also been sent out of Jackson. The premises in which the man and his family lived were appraised by a committee sentsont for that pur- pose and were then burned to the ground. The cordon of guards around the locality is continued.

the peace commissions have no right to
discuss them here. and that even if they
did so it must be in the light Of the al

SPANS sovereignty should not be i'm

The Americans also answered SPANS
claim for the restitution to her of pub
lie money and customs collections taken
by United States officials since the
capitalization of Manila and made reply
to SPANS claim for an indemnity on
account of the alleged Imprisonment
by United States authorities Of Spanish
troops of Manila and for their subse-
quent restraint from being of service
to Spain in the suppression of the in
surrection and the preservation Of
property.
The American commissioners hell
that there was justification, under the
terms of the protocol, for the discussion
Of the future of the Philippine islands
and they also claim that the occupation
Of Manila is a military occupation,
which justi!lcs the United States in col
