TO FIGHT CATTLE DISEASE
CONGRESS ASKED FOR AN AP- PRoPRIAT1oN OF $1,OOO,OO0.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Ap-
 peals for This Sum to Meet the Elmer.
 gency in New EngEand-Quickw Work
 Necessary Owing to Rapidity With
 Which the Scourge Spreads.
 Washington, Dec. 9.-Secretary Will meeting to-day what his department was doing to stamp out the foot and mouth disease which is prevalent in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and owing to which live stock in New Eng land was quarantined. Owing to the limited funds at the disposal of the agricultural department, it was deemed wise that Secretary Wilson should go before the committee on congress and ask for special appropriation to be made available immediately with which to stamp out the disease.
 Secretary Wilson made the appeal in a letter sent to congress to-day through the secretary of the treasury asking for an emergency appropriation of $1,0OO,0OO or so much thereof as may be necessary, to- meet the require ments." Secretary Wilson says:
 About two weeks ago information came to the department that the dis ease existed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont and Connecticut. The operation of the governors of the states and the state boards having control of contagious diseases of ani- mals has been secured. The effective method of eradicating the disease is to arrange with the local authorities for the destruction of infected and exposed animals, which, together with the dis infection of stables and yards and their quarantine to prevent further spread, is now being done. The disin- lection of cars used in transportation of such animals also is necessary. Ar engagements have been made and will continue to be made with transporta- ton companies to have all the cars which have been used for carrying ami mals in infected states, thoroughly dis infected. The scourge has not visited this country before for nearly twenty years.
 Quick work is necessary owing tc the rapidity with which the disease travels. The product of our domestic animals is over $9O0,OO0,000 annually and our exports of animals and ami nal products amount to a quarter of a billion dollars each year. This scourge costs continental Europe and Asiatic countries enormous sums of money an- nually. They do not seem able to erad- icate it. The British people have visi- tations of it occasionally, but prompt ly stamp it out. We live in the hope that the application of scientific meth ods eventually will clear the country of all contagious diseases of animals.
 While every effort is making to To- calize the disease in the infected states, there is danger that the cars used in carrying the animals to mar ket may introduce it into other parts of the country. We are ready to send an efficient corps of experts at once to any locality to deal with any out break"

ENEMY'S SQUADRON WINS
NOTABLE VICTORY ACHIETED
 BY ADMIRAL SUMNER.

sc3uts.
 Mayaguez, Porto Rico, Dec. "A mo-
 table victory was achieved this morn
 ing by Admiral Sumner. in command
 of the White Squadron, representing
 the advanced detachment of an enc
 my's fleet attempting to capture a port
 in Porto Rican water, with the Iowa,
 Illinois, Albany and the Chicago. He captured Mayaguez without re- sistance this morning, and immediately
 mined the harbor. The Nashville and
 the Eagle subsequently, entered the
 channel and reported that the Atlanta
 and the San Francisco had last been
 seen off Ponce and that they had per- haps been overtaken.
 Admiral Summers victory was due to the careful execution of his plans. At Trinidad he directed the White Squadron to proceed to a point with a circle with radius of 720 miles. the center of which was latitude 15 and longitude 45. The White Squadron was reported to Admiral Higginson, com
 manding the Blue, or opposing squad ron, at 6 o'clock on the afternoon of December 6. Admiral Summers ob- jective was Mayaguez, Quayanilla,,
 Ponce, Ensenada or Culebra.
 Under the rules the White Squadron
 would win if they entered the port they selected and laid mines before the ar rival of a Blue Squadron 50 per cent. | superior, or if it entered it's harbor and completed the work of mining be- fore the arrival of Blue Squadron double it's strength. The White Squad l ron would lose if it was intercepted by a superior force at sea. or within one
 hour after having anchored in the port selected.
 While at Trinidad Admiral Sumner found that Admiral Crowninshield, | commanding the European Squadron, with which the South Atlantic squad
 ron combined, had prepared plan of procedure similar to his own. Hav- | ing ascertained that the Nashville, At | lanta, San Francisco and the Eagle were slow, Admiral Crowninshield sug-
 gested that upon the arrival of the squadron within the curve his vessels 1 be detached and ordered to proceed, deployed, as scouts by the nearest
 course to point one hundred miles
 south of the eastern end of Porto Rico, and then north to a point twenty miles
 southwest of Ponce "The great aim of these scouts.' Admiral Sumner an
 nounced, lis to deceive the enemy as Continued on Sixth Page.)

 Washington, Dec. 9.-The appearance at the state department to-day of MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister, taken in connection with rumors that there was to be opposition in the senate to the nomination of John Barrett to be minister to Japan, gave rise to the sur mise that perhaps MT. Barrett was to be declared persona non-grata to the Japanese government. It is believed, however, that the minister's represent ations to Secretary Hay went no fur ther than an intimation that his gov- ernment would be glad to see another choice, and that he lodged no formal objection.

Some OF the letters which the Commissioner
ceives almost every day ridiculous in the ques

the management Of the department. Accordingly,
the Commissioner keeps what he calls 'curio
box into which he drops whatever letters which
may strike his fancy because of drollery
unique characteristic. Occasionally when Senator
Ranes. the author OF the law. which the En-
else Department is based. drops in to the Com
missioner, the latter takes down his ''curio box
and reads few new ones that may have

the growing city of Schenectady. Mr. Bracket

though. because of the smallness Of his band of

IL is. therefore. a commonplace occurrence for
a Bracket bill to come up on the calendar only
to cause Senator Grady TO spring to his feet In
opposition. But the members from New-York and
Saratoga often drop from the serious TO the comic
and indulge in repartee which keeps the galleries
in roar of laughter 1t thus happened one day
that there were nearly a hall dozen Bracket bills
which came up consecutively on the calendar. SEN

master. cluny is a huge shorthaired St Bernard
and his ancestry can be traced back to the begin

Cluny is such a welcome visitor TO the chamber is
that he is OF high degree for his grandmother

Cluny has thus become a familiar sight in the

or sits n a corner guarding the Bishops hat. on
occasions when the head Of the Albany diocese is
addressing some committee at a hearing is
listening TO the debate some bill I'm which he is
vitality interested. For the Bishop follows closely
the work of the legislature.
At home Clunys favorite place is a black fur
which is stretched before the fireplace of the
Bishops study. When his master is in the house
the dog sleeps most Of the time. and being
awakened grunts with such a loud sound that
strangers mistake It for erowl
IL thus happened the other day that a friend
had TO call on the Bishop. and on entering the
study where the dog lay at full length the floor.
the visitor caused the dog grunt so deeply that
the Bishop said: Poor Cluny. He makes that
heavy sound because he is getting old Cluny and
