Washington, June 30.--By an order
promulgated in March by the secre-
Ia of agriculture it is required that
all cattle west of the Mississippi river
intended for shipment should be
dipped in a pre- eparation prescribed
by the department for the purpose OF
absolute determination of the skin
disease known as the mango which
has existed to a limited extent for
many years in that section.
This order. if rigidly enforced. would
require that all beef cattle. whether
affected by the mango or not. should
be dipped twice before shipment AS
it has been found impossible to make
necessary preparations and roundup
and dip the cattle, within the limited
time allowed, numerous petitions have
reached the department praying for a
relaxation of the order. Today a del
egation appeared before the secretary
of agriculture and later called upon
the President requesting rigid gov

FOR PARKER
His Managers Claim Six Hun
dred and twenty -Four on
First Ballot

st. Louis, June 20.--It would seem
tnat there is 70 doubt about Judge
Parker's nomination among his friends.
His apparent strength in the Demo-
cratic National Convention, with all
the States that have "favorite sons
voting for them, is understood here to
he:

This list does not include the full corr
servative strength of the convention by
40 votes. 1t excludes from the Parker
column the six woes IF Delaware v hich
will be cast for Judge Cray, although
he is personally in fe or of rnisss
Parker. It takes no ,ccount OF the six
teen votes of Maryland and fourteen of
West Virginia. which are suDoo ia to
be held by German. although Senator
German says he is not opposing Parker
1t does not take into account thirty
two votes from Massachusetts,, which
are instructed for Olney, yet it is said
Massachusetts, will support Parker on
second ballot If not on the first. 1t
leaves out thirty-six votes for Senator
Cockrell In Missouri, though in all
probability Parker will get them on
the second ballot. 1t does not take in
the twenty-six votes of Wisconsin
which are instructed for Wall, but
which are conservative and are relied
on for Parker at the proper time.
