Dreaded Foot and Mouth Disease Not Cause of the Plague Among Ash Fork Hogs - Quarantine Has Saved Situation

All fear that the outbreak of an epidemic of the foot and mouth dis ease at Ash Fork would put Ari- zona in the quarantine class, was dispelled yesterday when State Ve- terinarian W. E. Severn returned from the suspected district with the official statement that it wasn't the dreaded stock-plague. On the con- trary, the hogs, owned by the Har- vey company at Ash Fork. were af- fl:cted with an entirely different ail- ing. the symptoms of which, how ever, are much like those of the more serious disease.
 Dr. Severn makes the following statement;
 T arrived at Ash Fork Monday night and made a careful exam ination of the situation The ami mals I investigated were suffering from q disease known as the Lip and Leg Liberation. caused by the basillus necrosis. The symptoms so closely resemble those of the foot and mouth disease that one case might easily be counfounded with the other by the laity

 Dr. Severn stated that undoubted ly this herd of hogs received theiI infection from the stock yards, in asmuch as they were kept continu ally close to same. the stock yards at Ash Fork being the unloading place for feed and rest, of west

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Joseph Tu- multy, secretary of the president and Representative James Hamill were witnesses at the investigation into the charges against James Sullivan, minis ter of the Dominican republic. The hearings here concluded tonight but Special Commissioner Phelan later will examine witnesses in the Dominican republic. Tumulty denied the charges against Sullivan. saying the only real argument presented against Sullivan was his connection with Jack Rose, a witness at the trial of Lieut.. Charles Becker in New York and letter from Gov. Whitman dispelled that.
 Tumulty denied the White House ever exonerated or 'white-washed' Sullivan. Hammil denied he ever dis cussed Sullivan's candidacy with per sons representing interests in the Do- miniean republic.

Germany's Threatened Clos ing of Seas to Commerce of the Belligerents Caus- ing Concern in England and Neutral Countries
SOME FIGHTING
 IN THE EAST
Germans, Checked in Their Efforts to Break the Rus sian Lines Before War saw, Send Many Troops to East Prussia
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcBJ

LONDON, Eng, Feb. 9.-Germanv's threatened submarine blockade of the waters around the British Isles and France, and the question of the use Of neutral flags by merchant ships belonging to belligerents continue f, occupy the public mind in England. and in the neutral countries of Eu- rope Greece already has replied to the German memorandum to the eff feet that she expects Greek ships to be protected by the regulations on high seas and her coast not effective ly blockaded while Holland and the Scandinavian countries are taking steps for joint action.
 Chief interest in the fighting lies in the east. The Germans, checked in their efforts to break the Russian lines before Warsaw, have transferred many troops to East Prussia to meet the Russian offensive in that region. This offensive has commenced to be a real danger to the Germans, as it threatened to drive wedge between Tilsit and Insterburg. so as to turn lllt pOSlllOll III lflt tAiTe1nPlN difficult country of the Mazurian Lakes. If the movement succeeded the Russians would overrun a con siderable part of East Prussia, and again be on their way to Koenigsberg and Danzig.
 Operations in the west have lapsed into, a period of calm with only few small engagements on the narrow fronts, which have little effect on the campaign as a whole. The campaign in the Carpathians and in Galicia are not so easy to follow as official re- ports are exceedingly sparing in in formation. It is evident, however. that while the Russian offensive in the western passes of the mountains is being pushed with strength. and has proved partially successful, it has been met with stronger opposition in | the eastern passes, with the result the Russians have been compelled to fall back in Bukowina They have repeatedly done this only to give the 1 Austrians battle when they debouched from the Russian end of the passes. and it is presumed this is their in- l tention now The operations are on so large and complicated scale it may be weeks before any definite de- csion is reached.
 Fresh particulars from the Buko- wina frontier indicate the Russians have commenced the evacuation of that province says the Daily Tele- graphs Bucharest correspondent.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Formal notice in writing that he would seek a cIoture of amendment of the senate rules to end the debate on the shipping bill at two o'clock in the afternoon of February 19 and cause a final vote three hours later, was given by Senator Reed late tonight when the senate had been in continuous session for more than thirty six hours.
 Under the rules the proposed amend ment must lay over lone day" and if this is considered to mean Legislative day" there can be no action upon it until the senate adjourns and ends the legislative day of Monday.
 Republicans plan to fight to the last ditch against the attempt to adopt any form of cloture rule. A short time later McCumber, who had been speaking against the bill, lost the floor when interrupted by Sherman. After consid erable debate, and confusion over Sher- mans action, Stone obtained the floor and began an address in favor of the bill.
