FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
II Again Breaks Out in the Argentine Re
public-A Fresh Outbreak Occurs
In Massachusetts.

Washington, May 12.-The state de-
partment has notified the depart
ment of agriculture that the foot
and mouth disease has again broken
out in the Argentine republic and
that Argentine has prohibited ex-
portation of animals from that coun-
try. Secretary Wilson views the
outbreak with great concern and
says that if the disease once gets a
foothold on the open ranges in
Argentina the results inevitably must
be serious to the live stock indus
try there. A part Of the fight
against the epidemic In New England
has been made with view to keep
ing the disease from spreading into
the west where the greatest danger
would exist.
Secretary Wilson yesterday re-
ceived word of a fresh outbreak of
the disease in a herd located at
birmingham, Mass. It was believed
by the department officials that the
epidemic had been wiped out in New
England. Secretary Wilson said
yesterday that he had contemplated
lifting the quarantine altogether
from New England in fortnight,
but that action must now be post
poned indefinitely. The quarantine
has been lifted from all the states
originally involved except Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire and it is
impossible to foretell, particularly
in view of the approaching warm
weather, when the restrictive meas
ures against those states can be re-
moved.

CLEVELAND'S BOOM.
Senator Stone Gives Out a Carefully
Prepared Interview.
TO CLEVELANDS CANDIDACY
The Junior Senator from Missouri Thinks
the Ex-President Has Placed Himself
Out of the Pale Of the Demo-
cratic Party.

st. Louis, May 12.-United States
Senator Stone gave out a carefully
prepared question and answer" in
terview yesterday, expressing his
utter opposition to former Presi.
dent Cleveland as democratic can
didate. This interview is as follows:
What do you think of the advisa-
bility of nominating Grover Cleve-
land for president, senator?" was
asked.
ION what ticket?" was his immedi-
ate rejoinder. When told the demo-
cratic ticket was meant, he replied:
"Mr. Cleveland's nomination would
decidedly not be advisable. should
be unqualifiedly and unreservedly op-
posed to his selection as the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1904.
His political course has been mex
cusable, and the idea of nominating
him is. intolerable. He was honored
three times with the democratic
nomination for president and elected
twice with democratic votes, but in
1896, when his party disagreed with
him, he abandoned it and refused to
vote with those who had three times
voted for him for the presidency.
In other words, he has placed him
self above his party, and in SO doing
he puts himself out of the pale of the
democratic party. No man is great
er than his party, and there is no
palliating Mr.. Cleveland's action. His
attitude and utterances since his re-
tirement in 1896 have been entirely
repugnant to the principles Of de-
mocracy and do not entitle him to
the least consideration as the stand
ard bearer of the party which twice
elected him and which he deserted
when it needed the powerful infu-
ences which he controlled.
II do not think Mr.. Cleveland's
for the presidency is Sc
riously considered, nor do believe
it will be. As said, l should oppose
any such political mania. I wish to
state, however, that my opposition to
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination is purely
political, and in no wise personal.
While / was a member of congress
during his first term, he was ex-
tremely Courteous to me and I re-
.a;yad q uuD,har NJ favOrs at his
hands. l esteem him personally, but
am opposed to him politically"
OF the democratic national COM
mitteemen who have been inter-
viewed on the Cleveland candidacy,
only three favor it, II are outspoken
in their opposition and eight prefer
TO "sit on the fence" until they know
more of the situation.

A Summer Trip Unsurpassed on the
Continent.

The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio
Grande Western is the most beautiful
in America. No European trip Of
equal length can compare with it in
grandeur Of scenery or wealth Of
novel interest. Then Salt Lake City
itself is a most quaint and picturesque
place and well worth the journey.
Its Mormon temple, tabernacle, tim
ing Office and church institutions; its
hot sulphur springs within the city
limits; its delightful temperature.
sunny climate and its Great Salt Lake
--deader and denser than the Dead
Sea In Palestine--are but q few fea-
lures Of Salt Lake City's countless at.
fractions. There are parks, drives,
canons and beautiful outlying noun
tain and lake resorts. Imagine, II
you can, a bath IN salt water q mile
above sea level and in water in which
the human body cannot sink. Inquire
Of your nearest ticket agent for low
tourist rates to Salt Lake City, or

"Sslt Lake City OF the Saints. +" to S.
