M R. WILSON BACK
REGULATIONS FOR TREATMENT
OF CATTLE IN TRANSIT.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Dr.
D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau OF ami
NAL industry Of the department, returned to
Washington today from Chicago where
they went to confer with representatives of
the leading railroads out Of Chicago on the
subject of the new regulations governing
the enforcement of the twenty-eight hour
law, covering the treatment Of cattle in
transit. In discussing his trip with Star
man this morning the secretary said:
"Some OF the railroads observing the
regulations with good grace, while others
are making the twentyeight hour law as
obnoxious as they can. Some of the rail-
roads have asked for notifications of the
regulations, but I am inclined to think that
the changes we have made are as lenient as
possible under the present law. I have no
authority to disregard the law"
The secretary added, when asked whether
he would request Congress to make modifi-
cations of the law, that in his opinion. the
limit of hauls west of the Missouri river
might be extended, but that east of the Mis-
souri, such extension would not be advan-
tageous.
Mr.. Wilson in discussing the progress OF
the investigation in the bureau of animal
industry said that the report of the inquiry
had not yet been handed to him. but that he
expected to receive 1t this week. He would
make no comment for publication on the
present situation with respect to the inter-
nal administration of the department.
Cotton Scandal Inquiry.
District Attorney Beach, who is conduct
ing the investigation of the cotton crop re-
port scandal and who is understood to have
spent yesterday in New York in search OF
additional evidence, returned to Washing
ton this morning. Mr.. Beach denied him
self to all callers and spent the day at
work in his private Office.
The grand jury heard several witnesses
today. including chief clerk of the bureau
of statistics. There were no witnesses from
out Of town.
The grand Jury adjourned until Tuesday.

In view Of the fact that the War Depart

session of Congress. There is a division of

No action was taken by Congress at that

has been allowed to slumber without any
special agitation on the part Of any Of the
parties interested until last winter, when

of War and Gen. Mackenzie chief Of engi-

reach the point of favorable action, and 1t

AUTHORITIES ANXIOUS
WATCHING FOR SMALLPOX AT
THE DISTRICT JAIL.
By Sir Arthur Conan DOYLE.

For the ensuing fifteen days much trouble
a1N anxiety will be the portion of officials
and prisoners alike at the District Jail
result OF the discovery Wednesday night
and reported in The Star of yesterday, that
Payton Sweet negro prisoner, was suffer-
ing from smallpox. When the sun rose this
morning one day of the sixteen days quar-
entine. to which all of the 1856 inmates Of
re south wing at the jail will be subject
co, and passed without any of them show
Ing dangerous symptoms, but not until at
least week OF the period of quarantine has
safely passed will the health authorities
and the Jail officials begin to take assurance
that the long undiscovered nature OF
Sweets Illness is not to be followed by a
general outbreak of smallpox among those
who were his fellow prisoners.
At the smallpox hospital this morning II
vas said that Sweets condition was about
the same as when he first admitted to
the institution, and il is believed his at
tack will be comparatively light one.
Unable to Trace Origin.
Despite their most earnest search the au-
:horties were unable yesterday afternoon
Dr. today to trace the source of Sweets infec-
ton. Another scanning of the record of
visitors showed positively that no callers
had been received by Sweet from the mo-
ment of his incarceration, July 10, and also
II was shown beyond doubt that no pres
ents on which germs might have been car
ried. had been sent to Sweet.
Great interest in the statement of fact In
connection with the Sweet case was mani
Tested yesterday afternoon by authorities
At the United States Army Medical Museum
particularly on account of the inexplcable
manner in which Sweet developed smallpox.
Questions were asked concerning the proX-
unity of the smallpox hospital to the jail,
and when II was said that the two institu-
tons were not widely separated the theory
was advanced that the common housefiy,
already much maligned a carrier of dis
ease. might easily have carried the germs
OF smallpox from the sores on patient in
the hospital to some small open wound on
Sweets body.

HuMAN COLOR PREFERENCES.

R. s. Woodwork and Frank @. Bruner recently
presented paper TO the anthropological section OF
the New-York Academy OF Sciences noting that
tests Of different races. made at the St Louis Ex-
position, showed that red was the color most often
preferred, both by men and by women. and by all
the races tested The predomnance Of red choices
was very great Now previous authors have found.

but blue that OF most men; this difference OF re-
suit. as between the present and previous authors.
Is probably due to the different material used for
presenting the colors-colored papers having pre-
viously been employed whereas In the present tests
use was made Of colored worsteds, such used
IN the Holmgren test for color blindness. Special
tests showed that the individual is very like

helium from springs into the earths atmosphere
IS from 5000 to 5000 times more than can be ac-
counted for by the minute quantity dissolved by
the rain in falling. yet the relative quantity OF
helium IN the atmosphere apparently remains con-
slant Therefore he says, heliuE is escaping
from the atmosphere. the rate OF escape being
equal to that OF the influx. Further, Dr. StOney
also shows that theoretically the conditions under
which the flights Of gaseous molecules take place
IN the upper atmosphere sufficiently explain the
outflow, Il would only be necessary for the
chance Of escape for each molecule TO occur once
IN several days IN order account for the amount
received by the atmosphere from the earth.
