BOSTON CATTLE QUARANTINE.
Many Reports Of Foot and Mouth Con-
tagion

BOSTON, Mass, November 2S.-The cat
tie bureau of the state board Of agricul-
ture up to today had received about one
hundred individual reports of the presence
Of the foot and mouth contagion, which
has caused the Secretary of Agriculture
to prohibit the expectation of cattle from
Boston and to establish a quarantine Of cat
tie. sheep and swine in New England.
1t was stated that all reports received
had come from localities within seventy
five miles of Boston.
The closing of the Brighton stock yards,
the principal ones in New England, by the
state board of agriculture will cause an
interruption to traffic which, under ordi-
nary circumstances, aggregate 500 to 700
head of cattle day.
CONCORD, N. H, November 2S.-The
state board of cattle commissioners issued
an order today directing that because of
the prevalence Of foot and mouth disease
in cattle in Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and Vermont cattle or hogs
shall be permitted to enter New Hampshire
from the states named until the order Is
revoked. The action is precautionary as
the board knows of no case of the disease
in the state.
LONDON, November 2S.-The announce
ment that the United States Department of
Agriculture had given notice of the estab-
1shment OF quarantine of cattle and
sheep, etc., in the New England states and
prohibiting the expectation of such animals
from Boston until further orders caused ex-
citement in Liverpool. The Mersey dock
board derives large revenue from the
slaughter of Boston cattle at Birkenhead.
Manager Lairages of the board says the
restrictions will have far-reaching conse-
quences and that possibly the cargoes of
cattle now on their way to Liverpool from
Boston will be quarantined

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Measures Will Be Taken Up Without
Delav

There will be no delay in getting the
regular appropriation bills under way when
Congress meets Monday Mr.. James c.
Courts, clerk to the appropriations COM
mittee of the House, has been busy for
some time in getting the annual estimates
on which the various bills are based In
shape for action by the subcommittees.
Four Of these bills are now in print ready
for the subcommittee to take them up
These are the District of Columbia, the
legislative executive and judicial, the pen
sion and the forti1cations appropriation
bills.
Which one Of these measures will be
ready for the action of the House first will
doubtless depend on the activity of the sub
committees. The subcommittee to which
the District bill will be referred consists of
Representatives McCleary, Burkett, Ben
ton and Pierce, the last two being Of the
minority. Mr.. Cannon sat with the sub
committee at the last session to supply the
vacancy caused by the elevation of Repre-
sentative Moody to the cabinet.
A meeting Of the appropriations commit
tee will be held Tuesday to make general
outline Of the work Of the session, when it
is expected that the matter of supplying
Mr.. Moodys place the District and
other subcommittee will be arranged Mr..
Cannon, who has taken lively interest IN
District affairs, may continue to sit with
the District subcommittee.

PUTTING ON FINAL TOUCHES.
Improvement Of the Capitol During
the Recess

The final touches are being put on the in
terror of the Senate and House wings of
the Capitol in preparation for the open
ing of the session Monday.
Never before has the Capitol presented
the finished and handsome appearance of
today When the last session began Statu-
ary Hall was being re-roofed. The hall
was full of scaffoding, with white can
vas tunnel running through it. The ap-
pearance Of the hall today is magnificent
Its walls have been done in imitation of
Sienna marble and the effect is such as to
cause eXclamations of wonderment and ad-
miration by returning members.
II had no idea this hall was architecture
ally capable of being made so handsome" 4"
was the remark of Col. Hepburn as he sur
veyed the improvement in amaZement
The corridors of the House wing of the
building have been decorated artistically
with miniature water-color scenes, while
the holdings and filigree work of the CELL
ings and walls are rich with gold leaf.
Another improvement which Is noticeable
is the replacing of many of the heavy COM
mittee room doors with mahogany doors of
lighter weight. The swinging entrance
doors in the basement, which We're cum
bersome and heavy, have also been changed
for lighter ones of mahogany.
The ways and means committee rooms
have been entirely refitted and refurnished
in mahogany to correspond with the rooms
of the appropriations committee. These
two suites are now the handsomest rooms
in the House end Of the building
The preparation of the galleries and cham
bers of the Senate and House is going on
and by Monday morning everything will be
In readiness not only for members but for
the public.

TO REVISE THE TARIFF.
Senator Hansbrough Believes It Can
Be Done Best in an Extra Session,

Senator Hansbrough, than who few are
better qualified to voice the republican SEN
tlment Of the northwest, favors an extra
session of Congress to revise the Dingley
law, and puts 1t up'' to the Attorney Cen
eral to demonstrate the necessity for imme-
date amendment of the Sherman law, prom
lsing that Congress will make such amend
ment If Mr.. Knox can prove the necessity.
When asked to express his opinion on the
tariff today Senator Hansbrough said:
The Dingley law Is not a sacred insti-
tuition. 1t may be, and l think 1t should
be, revised at an early date. Nobody be-
l1eves that the policy of protection is to be
overthrown in this country, but it must be
Judiciously applied from time to time to
meet changing conditions. There is no
nrasol; rrasoh TO lear panic or anything ap-
pioacnins nafd times even II the tariff Is
revised by its friends
Ihe making of tastariff bill. with its four
Thousand. or more articles to be considered
Is tremendously task. 1t cannot be done
during short session of Congress. The
most we can hopeSfer at this session Is the
fatfncat1on of one, OF two of the least OBJ
]ect1onable reciprocity treaties. There
should be no delay in reaching proper
agreement withsEuha, not that we owe
much
General tariff revision however. is al
together different matter Congress must
have ample time before it when tariff
law is to be enacted 1t. should have long
session, or, better still, an extra session,
vniI wnen IT can pay particular attention to the
business in hand"
How about anfi-frs,s4 leeisla tion ." was
asked.
perhaps the Sherman Law should be
strengthened by anne ndmenf, as suggested
by Attorney General Knox was the re-
ply. Ihus far 1t has been sarite effective
wherever applied and doubtless there are
several existing combinations which can be
reached under the law as 1t is. There must
pc progress In the matter Of corrective
statutes, however. and it may be that the
existing law will not reach the more mod
ern trusts If the Attorney General can
make 1t clear that the law should be
amended now, Congress will not hesitate
to act at once. The most effective remedy.
In my Judgment, would be through consti-
tutional amendment. sbut our democratic,
state rights frien6s and the44rusts would
undoubtedly combine ia, control the legisla-
lures OF twelve states, and thus secure the
defeat of the proposition"

AS TO MINERS WAGES.

presidents had promised to give the tabu-
lated statistics in regard to miners wages,
etc, to the counsel for the miners some
time today or tomorrow. The big coal min
ing companies have had expert accountants
at work preparing those figures for several
weeks past. 1t was because this part of the
evidence was not ready for presentation

DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
Chairman Babcock to Have Union Sta.
ton Bill Ready for Action.

Chairman Babcock of the House commit
tee on the District of Columbia has had
printed for his committee the Senate union
station bill with the changes which had
been agreed upon by the House committee
at the last session indicated, and also indi-
cations made Of other changes in the SEN
ate bill, which will be made necessary by
the change in the site which the House
committee has decided upon.
1t is the intention Of Mr. Babcock to have
everything in readiness for the committee s
action on this measure as soon as the ses-
sion begins.
There are fully 125 bills relating to the
District Of Columbia pending before the
House committee. Many of these, how
ever, are duplicate measures, having been
introduced in the Senate and House. Fully
twenty-five Of them are bills for street
openings and extensions.
The code amendments urged by the local
Bar Association were made at the last ses-
sion, with the exception of those relating
to the divorce section. and 1t Is hardly
likely that this subject win be considered
at the short session.

A CANAL WITHOUT DELAY,
Senator Harris Would Like to See the
Nicaragua Route Chosen.

What would like to see the President
do in the canal matter" said Senator Har-
ris of Kansas today. 'is to proceed under
authority of the legislation of the last ses-
sion of Congress and to decide upon a canal
route that can be secured in order that the
building of the canal can be proceeded with.
IF the President should decide this win
ter that reasonable time in which to Sc
cure a title to the property of the Panama
Canal Company has elapsed without being
able to complete negotiations, and should
proceed to acquire the Nicaragua route +
think he would be entirely justified. If he
is unable to obtain from Colombia a title
to the Panama property with treaty rights
that would be considered satisfactory, then
he can turn to Nicaragua. Unless some
such action is taken we will suffer the de-
lay in securing any canal that was pre-
dicted in the Senate

was Representative-elect James j.. Butler
Of St. Louis.
Buffers bookkeeper, VIM J. Sullivan, and
William Ratigan, a st. Louis contractor
and neighbor Of Kelley's, were his ship
companions.
Kelley's face was white and wrinkled
when he left the ship. He started when an
Evening World reporter greeted him by
name.
Representative Butler tried to shunt the
reporter off, but Kelley recognized him a
ST. Louis acquaintance. and extended his
hand.
For Gods sake let me alone for today"
he said. II have nothing to say. I have
just received word that my son Is dead, and
am going right back to ST. Louis
Representative-eect Butler denied that
he had come to the pier to meet him.
Il am here to meet our bookkeeper, Mr..
Sullivan. He went away some time ago for

If the chamber refuses to cancel the cleo

stitution by seeking to enjoin the board of
election commissioners of the state from

SENATOR HAWLEY'S HEALTH.
Reports Circulated Without Al
Foundation in Eaet.

Many rumors have been circulated lately
concerning the health of Senator Hawley,
few of which have any foundation In fact
The report that Senator Hawiey has con-
sidered resigning Is absolutely without
foundation in fact. Members of the sena-
tors family say the senator has never dis
cussed that subject. Senator Hawley' s
health is about as it was upon the adjourn
ment of Congress- with the exception that
he lately contracted severe cold, which
settled IN his right eye, and has made it
necessary for him to avoid the sunlight
and to spend considerable time in dark

AS TO STATEHOOD
SENATE COMMITTEE MAY WITH
HOLD ITS REPORT.
Uncertain if One or Three Territories

on Senator Beveridge.

OF the committee of the Senate which has
been conducting an inquiry into conditions
In New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma in
their relation to possible statehood. proba-
bly, will withhold the report for a few days
after Congress assemblies. 1t is thought
that some conferences between the Senate
leaders will be necessary.
Senator Quay will make an earnest effort
to secure the admission Of the three terri
tories, and Senator Beveridge, it Is inti-
mated, may find it advisable to ascertain
the probable sentiment of the Senate before
the report is made. If it seems likely that
the Senate will pass the bin with the three
territories included, instead OF one, the
committee may yield it's opinion, 1t is hint
ed, and so recommend in the first place,
They bring back story on Senator Bev-
eridge from Albuquerque. The senator had
been putting an educational test to some Of
the justices of the peace in the vicinity and
was not pleased with the result Some Of
the justices present at the test betrayed de-
cided ignorance of law and the Constitu-
tion. The polished and educated young In
diana senator expressed himself rather Wig
orously and In language to the point upon
their ignorance.
Back in Injianny.
Finally an old fellow, member of the
bar, who had been present at the examina-
ton, but had said nothing. sitting on the
rear bench, meditatively chewing tobacco
and looking over the top of his steel-rimmed
eyeglasses, spoke up:
Senator" he drawled, "in the spring OF
the year 1 always go back to dear old In
jianny and round up my old friend, Jeems
Whitcomb Riley, the hoosef poet. We lay
in about three gallons of Kentucky whisky.

Il jes' wisht you'd come along on one OF

for the whisky nor the fishin', but wisht
while we fish you'd step back into the tall
timber along the Wabash bottoms and put
your tests to some OF our Injianny jestices
of the peace"
They say the senator adjourned the In
quiry summarily. Leastways, he made no
more caustic comments upon New Mexi-
can unfamiliarity with the Constitution.
1t Is said here that the democrats In
the Senate will favor the admission Of the
three territories. Senator Heitfeldt of
