 Only last week he was asked to go over Winsted way to look over large herd. Reaching there he found that the herd was one that had been some time ago tested and had lately been squirted again. Three had responded
 to this latest squirt and the farm man.
 ager wanted to know if the state would pay for them if killed. The commits
 sioner could pay for only such animals as he should himself condemn after physical examination, so he was invi- ted to look over the herd with that purpose in view He condemned two
 and it appeared that they were of the three condemned by tuberculin. When the third was pointed out to him he told the manager that in his opinion it was as sound as any animal on the place. It had responded more pro- | nouncedly than the other two and the
 manager had decided to kill it. The commissioner suggested that, he call | his own veterinarian to perform the autopsy which the manager did, the commissioner waiting till the work was | completed. The animal proved to be absolutely free from any semblance of disease. She was worth fully sixty dollars, as such cows sell nowadays. 1 THE SITUATION IN MASSACHU- SETTS.

Commissioner Sprague's Summary of
 His First Years Business.
 Cattle Commissioner Sprague closed his first years work under the new cattle law last Thursday night, and his report to the governor of the years business will be read with interest by every farmer and cattle owner in this and other states, and it will afford more than ordinary pleasure to the men who labored so earnestly and con- scientiously to bring about the new or der of things. The commissioners time has been occupied almost contin- ually in attending to the duties of the position, his goings and comings sell dom being chronicled, the outcome be- ing none the less gratifying to the friends of the new law. It will be seen that of the more than two thousand cattle examined by him only siXty-one have been condemned to death and at an average payment of only a trifle over fourteen dollars per head. Fol- lowing is summary of the work: Summary of work and expenses of the Cattle Commission for year ending July IA, 1898:

THEPREsIDENTS PROCLAMATION
How the Plan for Making Santiago an

How the Elan TOT Making Santiago an
 Open Port Was Obtained.
 New York, July 19-Speaking to- day of the presidents proclamation es- tablishing Santiago as an open port and continuing the existing municipal laws, well known financier, close to the government, said: tIt is particularly gratifying that MT. Mckinley should have acted so promptly in this matter, and it means a good deal for this coun- try, having the discrimination in favor of Santiago's trade with Spain remov- ed. It also means a great difference for the people of Santiago having their cus- toms duties collected by honest men. The presidents proclamation has been ready in a pigeon-hole for some days. It may interest many persons, too, to know that in the main that procama- tion in it's conception and ideas was really the product of some of the best judicial minds in this city, Their sug- gestions were invited some days ago in order that the government might be prepared for action when Santiago fell into our possession. The result of their deliberations is the proclamation sign ed by President Mckinley announcing that the conquered city is an open port to all the world, and that the existing municipal laws will be maintained Of course the actual document was draft ed by the state department officials, who put into proper shape the ideas and suggestions of the men in this city who were consulted by the government on the subject and invited to make rec concentrations therefor
