root-and. Mouth Disease In Uruguay.

Disedse uruguay
Consul Swain of Montevideo says
it is officially reported that the foot
and-mouth cattle disease has disap-
peared in all of the departments of the
Republic and that the herds are in the
very finest condition. In several of the
departments the losses from this dis
ease were very heavy, but generally
the .ercentage of deaths fell below
per. cent. Save only thoroughbred OF
breeding stock, adds Mr.. Swain, the
herds of Uruguay never know the COM
forts of shelter, but as snow or frost
or sleet is very rare the exposure sell
dom results seriously. He continues:
The tick is more feared than anything
else, and where both the tick and the
foot-and-mouth disease are prevalent
the skinning knife is the only remedy
applied.

The disease of scabies, known as
sheep scab, has been so widespread as
to constitute the greatest obstacle TO
wool and mutton production in the
United States; but, through the bu-
reau's preventive methods-inspection
and disinfection, and the process Of
dipping-fewer diseased sheep are re-
ceived at the stock yards, and the in
lection is gradually disappearing. The
number of sheep inspected during the
fiscal year 1900, in order to prevent tho
interstate shipment of diseased ami

dipped under the supervision of bu-
reau inspectors was 26,SSS.-Govern-

Thousands win Witness the Drawing for
Homes In the New Country--1he Ner-

he Drawn To-day.

Ell Reno, Ok, July 29.-Last night
hundreds of people slept on the ground
in the vacant block adjoining the place
where the drawing will be held at day.
light thousands will have congre-
gated to be sure of getting good po-
sition. A covered platform 40 feet
square has been arranged for the draw
ing. The commissioners and their as
sistants, the committees from each
State and the newspaper representa-
tives will occupy the platform, adj
joining which tent 40 by 60 feet has
been erected for the use of the corps
of clerks. The envelopes containing
the names of applicants will be taken
to the place of drawing in a guarded
wagon. The work of placing these APP
plcations in the envelopes was fin
ished last night Seventy thousand
were put in yesterday and the balance
will be today They were then placed
in paper boxes for transmission to the
place of drawing. There are more
than 400 of these boxes, each contain
ing 400 or more envelopes. Each box
is numbered, corresponding numbers
on slips will be placed in box, shaken
up and drawn, then emptied to the re-
volving boxes in the order drawn.
There are two of the latter, each two
and one-half feet square by 10 feet
long.
AS each box of 400 is empted, the
revolving box will be turned in order
that the envelopes will be thoroughly
mixed. Before the drawing begins
Governor Richards will read the pres
ident's proclamation to the people and
explain in a short address everything
pertaining to the drawing. The man
who is to draw the first number will
not be selected until the very minute
the drawing begins. Twenty-Five names
will be drawn from each box, read to
the people and given to the clerks
who will furnish typewriter copies
to the newspapers for their own use.
When 500 names have been drawn
from each box the drawing will close
and the boxes will be sealed up until
next day. Every name will be drawn
from the box that every applicant who
did not draw a lucky number will be
convinced that his name was not omit
ted. Everybody seems to be under
nervous strain at this writing and it
is expected intense excitement will
prevail at the drawing today, though
of a botsterousnature Is look

Denver. Colo, July 29.-Dr. Charles
Grosswell, chairman of the sanitary
committee of the National Live Stock
association, in letter addressed to
President John w. Springer of that Or
ganization, calls attention to the fact
that cattlemen, if DR.. Kochs statement
is accepted as correct, will at once de-
mand the suspension of the tubercu-
line test now in use to prevent the
sale of cattle affected with tuberculo-
sis. He asserts that this would cause
a rapid reversion to the old time prev
alence of tnbercular diseases, which
he says there is no question these re-

New York, July 27.-There is little
foundation for the rumor that the Ger
man emperor has offered his services
as mediator between the British gov
eminent and the Boer leaders, with the
object of bringing the war in South
Africa to an end. says the London cor
respondent, of the Tribune. The kaiser
has all along adopted neutral atti-
tude, and it is most improbable that
he would now contemplate the posi-
bility of making a representation 10
this country to prevent the war from
being fought to a finish. Such action
would be regarded as an understandable
interference, and the kaiser is not SO
foolish as 70 sacrifice all the fruits OF
his recent friendly policy with this
country.
