WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The foot and
mouth disease has become serious again
in Massachusetts and DIR. Salmon will re-
turn to Boston in few days to investigate

BOSTON. Mass, Feb. 13.-The recrudes-

setts reported by the bureau OF animal in
dustry at Washington is in the towns Of
Needham and Aedheld in Norfolk county,
some twenty miles southwest Of Boston.
The cases we're reported to the state cat
tie bureau last week and herd Of thirty
nine pure bred Jerseys was slaughtered on
Monday after condemnation, by Drs.
Thompson and Durfee, representing the
federal authorities, and DR.. Austin Peters,
OF the state cattle commission.
The disease, according to one of the in
spectors, was of mild type. Since Mon
Gay traces have been found in other herds
in Norfolk county and some in a herd
at the state insane farm at Needham have
been condemned and destroyed.
Isolated cases have since been reported
and the systematic inspection of all herds
in that section Of the state is in progress
The fact that DR.. Salmon has been called

DOVER, Del, Feb. 13.-The regular re-
publicans held a caucus this afternoon and
framed a proposition which was prssented
to the Addicks faction, agreeing to the
election Of one regular republican senator
and one Addicks republican senator.
The proposition states that the union re-
publican senator must not be j. Edward
Addicks.
Henry c. Ellison, president pro tenn Of
the senate, said:
We want to settle this matter. We do
not want the responsibility 10 rest on us
II senators are not elected.
Strong pressure will be brought to bear
on the Addicks republican aseemblymen
between now and Monday to accept the
proposition made to them today by the
regulars.
An element is at work to have the unions
end the quarrel OF two years by nominating
Secretary OF State Caleb r. Layton for the
long term and accept Colonel Henry A.
Dupont for the short term vacancy. Colonel
Dupont will be the senior senator and DR..
Layton, who is several years his junior,
would. IL Is contended, have every oppor-
tunity to bring about, what he is now
prophesying, a sweep Of the state for Ad-
dicks next year. This is considered by
