FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Fresh Outbreak I'm Massachusetts
Many Infected Cattle Killed.

many hhAcctcd CattAe hnieos
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The foot and
mouth disease has become serious again in
Massachusetts, and Dr. Salmon, the chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, will re-
turn to Boston in a few days to investigate
the situation. Disquieting reports have
reached Secretary Wilson regarding fresh
outbreaks Of the disease near Boston, where
most Of the cases recently have become
concentrated, and there is considerable
anxiety over possible spread of the dis
ease.
BOSTON, Feb. 13-The recrudescence of
the cattle disease in Massachusetts, re-
ported by the Bureau of Animal Industry
at Washington, Is in the towns of Needham
and Medfield, in Norfolk county, some
twenty miles southwest of Boston. The
cases were reported to the State cattle bu-
reau last week, and herd of thirty-nine
thoroughbred Jerseys owned by Charles II.
w. Foster, of the Castle Farm, Needham,
was slaughtered on Monday, after con-
demnation by Drs. Thompson and Durfee,
representing the federal officers, and DIR.
Austin Peters, of the State cattle commits
sion. The disease, according to one of the
inspectors. was of mild type. Since Mon
day traces of the disease have been found
in other herds in Norfolk county, some one
hundred cattle at the State Insane Asylum
in Medfield being 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
to Massachusetts is looked upon as a re-
suit of the inspection.

ANY ONE BUT ADDICKS
DELAWARE REGULARS WILL VOTE
FOR A UNION REPUBLICAN,
Providing They BE Given One of the
SenatOrships-The Gas Man Placed
Under a Han.


DOVER, Del, Feb. 13.-At a conference
this afternoon the regular Republican MEM
bers of the General Assembly submitted
counter proposition to the Addicks Repub-
lican members, replying to their signed
offer of last Thursday to go into a joint
caucus of all the Republican members,
Addicks to be eliminated. The regulars
issued the following statement in answer
to the Unions:
Observation-Disclosures the duty devolv-
ing upon us to give to our State her full
and honorable Republican representation
in the United States Senate, and after
giving careful consideration to your prop
osition of the 5th inst, and having de-
sire to discharge our duty to our country.
our State, our party and to ourselves and
to all others. we are disposed TO meet you
IL a fair way and adjust the difficulties
existing between our factions In manner
creditable and with honor TO both sides.
We hereby tender to you the following
pror Osition, based on the reasonable ana
equitable plan of give and take. We will
agree to join with you in the election OF
shall be selected by US and the other TO be
selected by you, provided, of course. your
selection is not John Edward Addicks."
day was without definite result. The first
break in the solid Democratic ranks oc-
Cured to-day, when Representative Allen,
of Seaford. who Is regarded as one OF the
party's strongest members, voted for Ste
vens, Democrat, instead of Rodney, the
caucus nominee.
Strong pressure will be brought to bear
upon the Addicks Republican assemblymen
between now and Monday morning TO ac-
cept the proposition made TO them to-day
by the regulars. An element is at work to
have the Unions end the snarl of two years
by nominating Secretary of State Caleb r.
Layton, an Addicks adherent for the long
term senatorship and accepting Col Henry
A Dupont for the short-term vacancy.
Colonel Dupont would be the senior sena-
tor. and Dr. Layton, who is several years
his junior, would. it is contended, have
every opportunity of bringing about what
he is now prophesying, sweep of the State
for Addicks next year. The regulars under
their signed manifesto of to-day would be
bound to support him. This is considered
by some of the leaders to be the only solu-
tion of the wrangle.

AFRIKANDERs REBUKED.


s CAPE TOWN, Feb. 13.-Secretary Cham
berlain to-day reached the town of Graaff
Reinet situated in a Dutch district, which
was the center of operations during the
war A hostile reception had been planned
but at the last moment the intention was
abandoned. Nevertheless the welcome ex-
tended to the colonial secretary was any
thing but cordial. The Dutchmen held sui
lenly aloof from the receptions and func-
tions. Many of them openly paraded rebel
badges. The members of the British colony
and the British traders who called on Mr.
Chamberlain complained of boycotting at
the hands of the Dutch and the general
system of oppression and intimidation
which also was extended to the natives
because of the assistance they rendered TO
the British during the war.
Afterwards receiving an Afrikander dep
utation, Mr.. Chamberlain made long
speech, in the course of which he rebuked
the Dutch I'm strong terms for their atti-
tude and frankly warned them that 1t was
inconsistent with the enjoyment of the
privileges of British administration. IL
they wished to preserve their liberties, he
said they must not allow liberty 10 de-

The controversy between the city
officials and the county officials as 10

fishing and maintaining a quarantine has
reached a very acute stage. Last week
the commissioners acting under the ad-
vice of the county attorney Johnson re-
fused to pay any part of the expenses OF
the quarantine Ca es cared r at the
Lewiston quarantine hospital, ana last
evening acting under the advice ot city
attorney Mcfarland the couucil decided
TO take action i'll the future to throw all
responsibility of establishing the quaran-
tine upon the county board aud The ex-
pense upon the county. The written
opinion of the city attorney is as follows:

board OF health for their respective coun-
ties, and have the right to declare quar-
antine in their county or any particular
district or place in the county whenever
the necessity requires, and establish such
sanitary rules aud regulations as they
may deem necessary and proper to pre-
vent the outbreak and spread of infec-
tious and contagious diseases. ] find that
the law regarding this matter Is complete
and affords means Of protecting the
residents within the county from such
diseases, aud is not restricted or limited
to any particular part or portion OF the
county. The law also provides that all
necessary expense incurred by the county
board of health in enforcing the law must
be paid for out Of the treasury from the
current expense fund of the county.
II would suggest that the council pass
a resolution authorizing and directing the
city health officer to prepare and furnish

POWER PLANT ON THE LOLO
Work Begun on the Dam 100 Horse Power
to be Developed Now with 500 Available
Ready in Six Months

The frs, work of the big dam near the
mouth OF the Lolo, above Greer, that will
develop power for Z A. 10 neon's electric
power plant was commenced Monday.
The first car of lumber arrived Friday
evening and the work o. constructing the
cook and bunk houses will BE- The first
taken up The place sci cted for the
dam is all ideal one and the rk will be
done in such thorough manner that there
will be no danger of washouts or breaks
at time of freshets.
Joseph Christie, of Frazer, will have
charge of the construction OF the dam
and it is expected it will take nearly two
months with a force of 20 men TO COM
plete the work. All of the big timbers
necessary for the cribbiug will be taken
from the mountain near by and the sides
of the trees faced SO as to lay as closely
together as the logs i'll awell made cabin.
The dam will be about 1870 feet long, IL
feet thick at the base and eight feet al
the top The height will be about 25
feet. The space between the ciibbin9
will be filled with rock, as will also the
immediate space above the dam. 1t is
intended to deposit rock in the creek
in such manner as to slope to the top of
the dam, thus taking the greater part OF
the strain from the timbers. This rock
work will extend up the creek from 30 to
go feet at the base and slope gradually to
the top. 1t will be necessary to do an
immense amount of blasting in the creek
bottom and banks to get secure founda'
ton and this work alone is expected to
take about two months time.
The water will be conveyed in fiume
to the power plant 200 feet below. 1t is
expo cted that only about 100 horse power
will be used at first but the dam aud
f1ume will be so constructed to develop
500 horse power that will be at command
when ever the business of the plant
necessitates its use.
The electrical machinery will be fur
nished by a New York company and
installed through their agent, George
Nixson, of Spokane Everything will be
completed and in running order i'll about
six months.
