BANNER DAY AT CHICAGO.
7o,ooo People Passed Through Turn.
 sriies to Live Stock Exposition.

Chicago, December 4-This was ban ner day at the International Live Stock exposition, 10000 people passing through the turnstiles. In the Dexter park ann pitheatre the crowd was so dense tonight that a police reserve was sent into the right to prevent a crush and to lend as- sistance in case of emergency. No acci- dents occurred, however and the cheers of the multitude of spectators were deaf ening as the prize winners, composing the evenings parade, passed aIong the ex- hibition space. The judging of sheep car casses at a packing house was one of the attractive features of the day, large crowd gathering to witness the selection of the winners. The cattle and swine tests will be made tomorrow.
 President Shor and General Manager Skinner of the exposition and General Manager A. G. Leonard of the Union Stock Yards Transit company gave a din- ner tonight to the railroad live stock agents attending the exposition. Several matters of importance to the guests were discussed. ..ss.......

APPEAL TO GREAT BRITAIN.
Cattle Shippers Want Them to Remove
 the Quarantine on Portland, Me.

Boston, Mass, December Apr. Salmon of the agricultural department reasserted today in an official statement the opin- ion he expressed yesterday that cattle could be exported from Portland without any danger of infection from the foot and mouth disease. The steamship men thereupon renewed their efforts to have Great Britain release Portland from the embargo.
 Both the state and federal authorities are now satisfied that the appearance of the disease in New Hampshire is not serious enough to warrant 8 quarantine by the department of agriculture, and Dr. Salmon has requested Secretary Wilson to withhold the quarantine order asked for yesterday.
 A curcular from the department of ag- riculture which modified a previous rul- ing was received by the railroads here today. It says that the railroads may send cattle for slaughter from one state to another in New England, provided the cars are sealed by inspectors of the de- partment of agriculture.

DISPOSITION OF
 NEW EQUIPMENT
Where Chief Mullen Will Place
 New Engine and Wagons
MAY OPEN WEST END HOUSE
New Apparatus and Ten More Men Will Enable Fire Department to Handle Big Fires, or Two
 Fires at a Time.

Within the next two or three days bids for the new engine and two new hose wagons of the fire department provided for by the city council will be advertised for and the contracts will be let as soon as possible. The entire cost of the new equipment will be between $7000 and $s00o, of which the new engine will cost about $C000 and each of the two hose wagons about $800 Besides this the new hose necessary and the ten new men will run the cost up to about $10,000.
 One of the most important changes will be the opening of the fire house at West End Chief Mullen said yesterday after noon that he would place one of the old wagons, which are to be repaired. at West End, and this would give that sec tion of the city better fire protection. In speaking of the disposition of the new apparatus he said:
 "Our plans are not completed yet, but the little steamer now at headquarters and new hose wagon will be placed at North Highlands. The other new hose wagon will probably go to the East End house, while the old wagon there will probably be sent to West End.
 "The new engine and one of the old hose wagons will be placed in reserve at headquarters. The engine will take the rlece of the little engine there now and the old hose wagon will be placed in re- serve in one of the stores in the city hall next to the fire department.
 We have not decided what Is to be donc with the new men or where they will be stationed. If we are able to open the house at West End soon some of them will be sent there. Of course, 1t goes without saying that we will be bene- fitted about 80 per cent in fighting fires. It was an addition which was badly need ed, and besides aiding in large fires, we cen fight two good-sized flames at the same time"

ARRANGING TRANSFORMATION.
Secretary Root Holds Conference With Quartermaster General Ludington.

Washington, December 4. = Secretary Root had conference today with Quar- termaster General Ludington and Colonel Patton, in charge of the army transport service with regard to the bids recently received for the transportation of troops and military supplies between the Pacific coast and the Philippines. The lowest bids received was that of the Boston company running a line of steamships between Seattle and Manila. It was at rates much below the commercial rates.
 The main question to be determined Is whether the rates offered by the Boston company will justify the company in the abandonment of the army transport serv- ice across the Pacific. Although no bid was received from lines running out of San Francisco, the business interests of that city are active in opposition to the transfer of the business to Seattle or any other port. The officers of the quarter masters department are said to oppose any scheme for the discontinuance of the army transport service.
 It is expected that final action will be taken soon after Secretary Roots return from New York next week.

Washington, December 4-General Bates, paymaster general of the army. has sent communication to Adjutant- General Corbin in regard to the army canteen question, in which he says
 The claim of the war department in recommending the restoration of the eanteen to the army that during the operation of the canteen law the dis cipIine of the army was superior, deser- tions much less, and that there were few. fines and forfeitures by courtmartials on account of breaches of military discipline resulting from the use or intoxlcants by men in the service, appears to be fully borne out by the records of the pay master generals officers.
 These records show that the paymas- ters of the army collected from 75,0OO en-
 listed men (regulars) during the last year In which the canteen was in force, on account of soldiers home dues. fines and forfeitures, $462,6 ,69S, while during the tis-

CLEAR CASE OF GUILT.
President Roosevelt Declines to Par
 don Former Bank President.

Washington, December 1.-The Presi- dent has denied the application for a pardon made on behalf of J. M. Me- Knight, who was convicted of embedding the funds of the German National bank of Louisville, today, while its president.
 Mcknight was convicted under two counts of the indictment, one charging him with embedding $37S6 of the funds of the bank and the other alleging that he embedded s2O00 of the banks funds In order to bribe two of the city aldermen of Louisville for political purposes. The President has endorsed the application as follows:
 Denied. This seems an absolute case of clear guilt, with no excuse whatever for pardon.
 Mcknight was first convicted on Oc- tober 26 1900, and an appeal is now pend ing from the fourth conviction on prac- tically the same charges.

cal year 1902, since the abolishment of
 the canteen, there was collected by pay
 masters from about 10000 enlisted men
 (regulars) on the same account S632, 125. The fact, therefore. appears indisputable by the figures cited that the fine and for feitures imposed upon and collected from the enlisted men of the army were vast ly increased during the year subsequent to the abolishment of the canteen, which increase cannot be well attributed to any other cause than the effects of an liquor traffic in connection with military posts, which traffic ap- pears to seriously affect the discipline and morals of the army"
