The Quay Monument.

The board Of public grounds and
buildings at Harrisburg has declined
TO take action in the matter of the
Quay statue, and by resolution adopted
at its recent meeting referred the sub.
ject to and shifted responsibility upon
the Quay monument commission. This
was neither courageous nor consistent.
The act of assembly provides that the
board of public grounds and buildings
and the statue commission shall Sc.
lect the site on the capitol grounds for
the monument. AS there is not and
never has been a monument commits.

DECLARES AMERICAN
MEAT IS DISEASED
Startling Charges Made by Lon.
don's Medical Officer.

London, March 5.-Startling allega-
lions concerning the diseased condi-
ton of some recent consignments Of
American meat are contained in re-
port by DR.. Williams, medical officer
of the port of London, presented to
the city council at the Guild hall.
In a shipment of meat that arrived
Feb. 2, consisting of tongues, kidneys,
liver, tripe, lamb plucks and sweet.
breads, DR.. Williams reports that he
found 52S sheep livers diseased out of
a total Of 2,4O0. There were also 300
frozen carcasses on board this ship,
of which fifteen were minus the lynn.
phatic glands. One carcass was af
fected with tuberculosis. 'There is
no necessity" Dr. Williams says, "of
removing the Emphatic glands unless
with some specific object and pre-
s,lmably in the case of the fifteen car
casses found without glands they had
been discovered on inspection in the
United States to show some evidence
Of disease"
Continuing, DR.. Williams points out
that In the above consignment more
than 600 cases Of tongues, livers, etc,
bore an official label indicating that
they had been inspected and passed
as sound in the country Of exporta-
tion.
The city council decided to forward
DR.. Williams report to the govern.
ment board in order that the allega-
lions may thereby be brought to the
notice of Ambassador Reid and the
various port and sanitary officers and
that urgent representations be made
to the board to give this matter
earnest attention in the interests Of
the public health.

mare. AS colt she was allowed

paid very little more attention to
her than he would have given to a
