TUBERCULOSIS TESTS.
Live Stock Sanitary Boards Adopt
Regulations.


Kansas City, May 24-Representa-
ives of the live stock sanitary boards
of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Texas
held a joint meeting at the Midland
hotel last night. The object of the
meeting was to formulate uniform reg
ulations for the inspection of breeding
and dairy cattle for tuberculosis, which
would not prevent the freest possible
shipment of such cattle tive the
states.
Under present conditions Illinois and
many of the eastern states nave Strin-
gent regulations to prevent the ship
ment of infected cattle into those states,
but take no precautions to preyent the
expectation of infected cattle to other
states. This has led Missouri, Kansas,
Texas n Oklahoma to adopt strict
rules against the shipment of such cat
tie into the states, but these Lacked uni
foTmity. Iowa affords no protection to
her own cattle and some of the western
states have adopted strict regulations
against the Importation of cattle from
Nebraska.
At present cattle are freely shipped
between Missouri, Kansas, Texas and
Oklahoma. The principal object of the
meeting yesterday was to give free ac-
cess to rine cattle from other states
without at all relaxing the precautions
against the importation of infected cat
tie and without allowing any oOphOle
by which such infected cattle might be
shipped into the states for breeding or
sale purposes.
NJ. L. CampDeu was CHAIRMAN or the
meeting and DR.. D. F. Luckey was sec
rotary. The following resolution was
offered by c.. P. johnson and was
unanimously adopted. Copies of the
resolution will be- forwarded to the
boards of ach of the states represent
ed and it is expected that regulations
will be adopted in conformity with it's
recommendations:
Whereas, Breeding cattle shipped to
the public markets from various states
to be sold at combination or advertised
public sales, may be sold to go to states
that do not maintain quarantine regu-
lations regarding tuberculosis; there
fore, be it
Resolved, By the live stock sanitary
boards of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas in joint session assembled, that
it is the sense of such meeting that
such cattle may be admitted to said
sales, subject TO the tuberculosis test,
upon being sold to residents of states
that have adopted or enforced regula-
lions requiring such cattle to be tested
with tuberculin before being so i'm
ported, and such cattle destined after
sale for shipment to such states shall
be subject to quarantine at place of
sale until they shall be so tested and
found free from all symptoms of tuber-
culoSiS."

HANNA,s MAN RArHBoNE.

Information comes from Cuba that
Major Rathbone defies the United
States government to punish him for
his little part in the Cuban defaIca-
ton He declares that If he is pun
shed he will disclose several facts dis
creditable to Marcus a. Hanna's ca
reer which were connected with the
struggle for the Ohio senatorship.
Persons familiar with the situation
win remember that Major Rathbone
was one of Mr. Hanna's political man
ayers during that memorable session
when many charges Of corruption and
doodle" were heard. Rathbone at
tanned especial notoriety because of the
prominent mention given his name in
connection with the alleged attempt to
purchase the vote of J. c. Otis, of Gin
cinnati, for Mr.. Hanna.
Now that Nj. Rathbone has been re-
moved a disclosure Of certain Ohio
methods would be timely and sensa-
tiCnal as well.
Senator Hanna recommended Rath-
bone for the Cuban job. He not only
wrote q strong letter indorsing him, but
he personally solicited his appointment.
Civil service was totally ignored and the
'spoiismen" triumphed. One thing is
certain, Director Rathbone's authority
WAS as absolute as was ever vested in
any satrap or consul OF petty tyrant
even in the days of Rome's greatest
power. He was supreme. He could dc
what he chose to do. Nothing but al
order from Washington might limit his
powers. and at no place Is it recorded
that this was sent. He appointed; he
dismissed; he made contracts. rules
and laws. He removed this man and
promoted that. He ordered expendi-
lures with a princely air and they were
audited without question.
Win he be punished, or viii his pas
political services save him from ths
fate he so richly deserves? The PEG
pie win watch proceedings in the CASE
Of Mr.. Rathbone with more than ordi-
nary interest
