DREADED HOG CHOLERA.


Washington, Oct 2S. During the
past two years the department OF agri-
culture has conducted series OF ex.
periments in the use Of serum as a
remedy for hogs affected BY cholera
or swine plague. The experiments
were conducted by DR.. d. Z. Salmon,
chief Of the bureau Of animal indus
try, and the results were eminently
satisfactory, proving that the dreaded
disease can be successfully treated
easily and inexpensively.
The cholera serum is procured by
keeping apart for treatment an animal

Muscogee, |. T., Oct 3L-There are
now about 3OO,O white non-citizens
in the Indian territory. OF these
about 80. 900 live In the towns and 250,-
900 are farmers and stockmen. These
people are not intruders. The laws Of
the United States allow them to live
here. the laws OF the five tribes invite
them to come and they pay tribute to
the tribal funds by purchasing per-

have no vote, no representation In

churches. NO schools for their chill.

live In the towns, but there Is still no

result In bad citizenship In the rising
generation and is distinctly bad

CARRYING THE MAIL
Report Of the Second Assistant Post
master General Made Public.
STAR ROUTE METHODS ARRAICyED,


Washington, Oct. 81. The immense
work Of transporting the mails
throughout the United States is dealt
with in the annual report Of Second
Assistant Postmaster General William
). Shallenberger, which was made
public yesterday. The main feature
of the report is vigorous arraignment
of existing star route methods Mr..
Shallen berger refers to the present
system Of speculative bidding for stat
routes as "discreditable to the govern
ment." He says the bidders cut lit.
tie under the old contract prices and
risk being able to sublet at profit.
The competition results in the greater
part of these contracts being awarded
at very low rates, the accepted bidders
or their agents often using deceit and
Misrepresentation in securing sub-con.
tracts from poor and ignorant men as
nrincioals and su-eties.

contractors" it is added, "who fail to
pay their carriers, which causes hun
dreds OF claims against the contractors
to be filed in this Office and necessi'
tates voluminous correspondence to
get the claims adjusted"
1t is conceded that exclusion of spec.
ulative bidders would increase the cost
to the government, and recent exam
nations at the request of congress in
dictate the additional cost would be

into effect gradually.

siderably larger sum for faster trans

resulted in improved equipments, "aii
many of the vehicles now used in car
rying the mails present such dilapi-
dated and disreputable appearance as

The report shows the number Of mail
routes at the close Of the year was 49,
795; total mileage, $50, 46l, an averag-
ing on each route nine trips per week.
There were 434, 332, 69l miles travelled
on these routes, costing almost slO7 per
mile Of length each, or almost IL cents
per mile travelled. The total annual
rate of expenditure for both routes
within the United States and in the
foreign mail service was $50, 024, Asa.
The report commends the use of the
pneumatic tubes, but voices regret
that in some cases the tubes are not
fully utilized. This service in Boston
is especially cited as operating 81

that 1t has not been possible to make

result from instituting tube service.
The expenditure to railroads for
mail transportation, so far as shown
by accounts stated to September 30,
was $50, 449, 1877, and the estimate for
mail transportation for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1900, is SSS, 275,O 900. A
deficiency of nearly $1,000, 900 in this

Washington, Oct 3l.-No definite
determination has been reached as to
the date when the troops now at Savan-
nah will be sent to Cuba. A proni.
nent administration official said last
night that Gen. Lees corps would be
dependent, to certain extent, upon
the movements Of the Spanish forces
in evacuating the islands. The Amer
lean troops, he said, might sail this
week and they might not sail for a
month. 1t is the intention OF the sd-
ministration. however, to land Gen.
Lees corps in Cuba before the list Of
January. That date has been fxcd
definitely as the time for the Anal
evacuation OF the island by the Spanish
authorities to obtain an extension Of
the time Of evacuation until the
lst Of February, but the proposition
was declined by the American commits
sioners. Arrangements for the land
