Office OF State Veterinarian.
Blacksbure, Va, December 5. 1899.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In accordance with the recommendation
OF the Interstate Association OF Live
Stock Sanitary Boards. II is probable that
the Federal and State cattle quarantine
rules and regulations will go into effect
on the first day OF January. 1900, and that
the quarantine line running through AL
bemarle Amherst. F1uvanna, and Nelson
counties will probably go into effect on
the 18th day CT February, 1900. Parties
wishing to transport cattle across said
lines will do well to bear these dates In
the quarantine goes into effect.

that during the year there were added
to the pension roll 40. 99l names and 43,

Sl3S, 355052 The annual value Of the
entire pension roll amounts to $13l, &c.
g6l, being $649, 1876 more than it ever
was, due TO the higher average annual
value of pensions. The roll is made up
of 753, 45l surviving soldiers, 237 ,4l5
widows and dependent relatives ana 653
nurses. The total number of original
applications filed during the year, in
Guiding those on account of the war
with Spain, was 4S, 765. The number of
original claims allowed was 37.017.
During the year 07,9l9 claims of all
classes were rejected, large percentage
of these being claims for increase. The
report will state that the delay in the
adjudication of claims is in nearly every
case the fault of the claimants or their
attorneys.
In order that the present complex
system of pensioning may be simplified
and to secure more uniform practice
III the future. the appointment of a COM
mission on the revision of the laws, rules

The Detroit News claims that a most
important meeting of the leading Pin
gree men was held at Detroit last Satur-
day. Besides the governor and his Sec
rotary there were present, Railroad
Commissioner Osborn, Labor Commits
sioner Cox, Gen. White, Gen. Marsh,
OH Inspector Judson and h. h. Sutton,
the purpose being to discuss the sena-
torlal campaign. 1t is thought that
there is dissension in the Pingree house
hold. The Pingree crowd seem to have
no faith in Gen. Ayers candidacy, as
they fear that he will pull out at a
critical time. The greater majority of
the Pingree pushers are men who derive

This has led to the suspicion that
many of them are anxious TO play into
the hands of Senator Mcmillan and his
friends. They did their best to patch up
a truce between the governor and the
senator last spring so that they could
support the senator in the coming con-
test and at the same time hold onto their
Jobs. This plan failed. They all appre.
ciate the fact that Pingree will not be
elected governor again and are anxious

side so TO hold their jobs or secure better

The speech the President made Mon
day TO the Pennsylvania regiment re-
tnrned from the Philippines contains i'm
portant matter That it is patriotic and
appreciative needs hardly to be said.
But the President states impressively
some historical facts connected with the
conspiracy of Aguinaldo and the noble
efforts of American soldiers to defeat it..
In addition TO the volunteers entitled to
discharge when the treaty was ratified
were 1000 regulars who had the same
claim TO be mustered out in April. The
main campaigns in Luzon have been car
ried through by men whose term had
expired. The Presidents tribute to
them is richly earned. In the speech,
which deserves the most careful reading,
the Presidents purpose for the future is
firmly outlined. He speaks of vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the war in behalf of
"a government under the undisputed
sovereignty of the United States-a gov
eminent which will do justice to all. F."

can military forbearance when the

most notable ever delivered by President
