He says it would, tt appears, bedim™- cult to imagine a more nearly perfect reciprocity of transportation facilities between two continguous countries than exists between the United States and Canada. In regard to the Canadian Pacific Tatlway, Mr. Nimmo says tt will Introduce elements of conipetition both of transportation and of trade, the effect of which will be mutually benefictal to the commercial and industrial interest of the two countries: GovERxor Rusx will be tendered a reception at the Ebbitt house this evening by the Wisconsin people residing and visiting here, He, with his family, go south from here, to be absent three or four weeks, when they will return to Wisconsin, A Dinner 10 MR, Buatve.—Ex-Senator Henry G.

The People of Illinois and other states were becoming alarmed at the spread of the disease, and the ap- ropriation should not be confined to Kansas, .

RLDER CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. MERRICK. A sub-committee of the committee investigating delay that, In the face of the ing and urgent necessity “for immediate action, he had intro- duced the present measure, He had no objection to the amendment offered by Mr. Sherman. Mr. Coke moved an amendment striking out the word “Kansas” and inserting the words “with the consent of the state authorities,” so as to secure each state some right to exercise thetr own juris diction in the matter if they preferred to do so. ‘The original measure would confine the ald to Kan- sas alone, and Mr. Sherman's amendment would give the commissioner of agriculture absolute au- thority to act Independently of the state authorl- tes, and even in despite of them. Mr. Hawley was disposed to look at this matter as broadly as Was cousistent with the subject, but he did not favor the growing disposition to call on the general government for action. In any ordinary case he thought a state ought not to come to Washi. ington for ald. “He recognized and even asserted the duty of the government to act in cases of wide- spread calamity like the recent western floods. But for his part he would object to a federal board olng tnto the state of Connecticut and slaughter. ing Cattle at its will in disreyard of the wishes of the people of that state. ‘The people of Connecti- Cut Were able to look after such matters for them- selves, ‘Mr. Plumb said the state ot Kansas was abund- antly able and perfectly willing to act in any mat- ter affecting thelr local interests, But cattle were going to and leaving Kansas all the time. ‘The dis- + ease referred ro Was communicable in a great va- riety of ways, as by the running of cattle on the plains or passing through them. It had been of. ally announced that It had been carried in the clothing of persons going into the state. Mr. Butler read a telegram to show that the gov- ernor of @ western state had been asked to estab Ush a quarantine against Kansas cattle, and 1 was tought he would do so. Mr. Plumb argued that the action of the states singly would not reach the evil. . Butler opposed this view. Mr, Cullom believed that it the general govern- ment had taken prompt measures in the early Stages of the epizooty, it4would have saved many millions of doliars. ‘Mr. Sherman referred to the question a8 one of national and not local interest.

As the clerk was reading the majority report complimentary to Jefferson, Mr. Belford, of Color- ado, asked: “What, in the name of God, is the use of reading such a report as that?” “Order!” cried Mr. O'Nell, of Pa. ‘The minority report of the committee opposed the bill on the ground that it provides for granting a “civil” pension—Jefferson’s services being civil in- stead of military. ‘This report, while asserting that it 1s “a disgrace to the people that this old Jady should be in want,” yet contends tl Con- gress has no authority to vote money for charity, Mr. Robinson (N.
