TALES OF DISEASED AMERICAN CATTLE Condition of the British Premier Less Favorable. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS PARIS, February 26.—The embargo plac- ed upon American cattle by the French government is due to the representations made by numerous deputations, which have recently been calling upon the minister of husbandry, notably an influential deputa- tion. which called upon him on February 22. For some time past a violent crusade against American cattle has been waged in the French press and a description of the alleged terrible condition of American cattle arriving at La Vallette, telling how the animals were a mass of skin, bones and sores, also appeared in the English newspapers. CHICAGO, February 26.—Speaking of the decree issued by the French government prohibiting the importation of American cattle, Nelson Morris, the packer, said: “We shipped $18,000,000 worth of cattle and products to France alone last year, and this great trade is absolutely destroy- ed by the order of the French government. I knew this was coming some months ago, and with the exception of two or three boat loads not any cattle or product has been sent to France in the last ten days. “Lhe effect of the German and Belgium embargo has been to reduce the price of cattle of the classes shipped to these coun- tries by $10 a head, and this French edict will even more injuriously affect the stock yards. ‘his has been the effect on prices, notwithstanding the fact that the supply of cattle has been cut down to two-thirds on account of feed. “The effect on the product is even greater than on the live cattle trade, especially so far as France is concerned. “We were shipping 7,000 cattle a week and as many or more in addition in the form of the product. France has been tak- ing a great deal of lean cattle for soups, and this branch of the trade will be very injuriously affected by the new edict, while as to dressed beef and pork and products the result will be even more far reaching.” Lord Rosebery’s Miness. LONDON, February 26.—The condition of Lerd Rosebery this morning is not favor- able. He has passed a sleepless night, and there is an increase of weakness. The Premier was contined to his bed on Satur- day last, owing to a sharp attack of in- fluenza, which is now epidemic throughout London, The Parisian ‘Theater Fire. PARIS, February 26.—It now appears that the fire which broke out last night in the Casino De Paris, situated on the Rue Blanche and Rue De Clichy, while the performance was going on, did not do so much damage as was at first announced. Only the Rue De Clichy end of the build- ing was destroyed. The Elbe Disaster. LOWESTOFT, England, February 26.— The coroner's inquest on the remains of Friedrich Ernst, one of the drowned pas- sengers of the Elbe, was reopened this mcrning. Capt. Donner of the German ravy was present in order to watch the inquest on behalf of the German govern- ment, and Capt. Wilson of the board of trade assisted the coroner in the exami- nation of viitnesses, who included nautical experts, the pilots of the Elbe, Miss Anna Beecker, the only female passenger saved, the crew of the Crathie, and others. All the Miners Rescued. LONDON, February 26.—A dispatch from Normanton says that all of the 500 miners who were imprisoned in a pit of the Whit- wood-Haighmoor colliery at that place by a collision of the cages in which the men ascend and descend were rescued during the night. The Influenza Epidemic. LONDON, February 26.—Influenza is spreading throughout England with mar- velous rapidity, though in a milder form than in previous years. On most of the railroads one-third of their staffs are ab- sent, and fifty members of the staff of the Bank of England were attacked by the dis- ease in two days. The troops stationed at Aldershot and at Knight’s Bridge are suf- fering severely. . The conservaiive leader in the house of commons, Mr. A. J. Balfour, who has been suffering from influenza, is now better, but Mr. John Morely, Mr. Henry Fowler, Mr. Herbert Gardner and other distin- guished public men are confined to their houses. Lord George Hamilton is worse today, and Mrs. Lynn, Linton and Sims Reeves are suffering seriously. Mr, J. B. Close is unable to supervise the training of the Cambridge University crew, which is to row the Oxford crew on the Thames on Saturday, March 30. The rapid spread of influenza among the ™members of the house of commons is at- tracting considerable attention. Sixty members of parliament paired yesterday evening, and of this number over forty are suffering from influenza. Want to Retire. BERLIN, February 26. Vice Admiral Hollman and Admiral Von Der Goltz have expressed to the emperor their desire to retire, and his majesty’s decision has been deferred until the marin budget is disposed of. ve . Sympathy for Mrs. Maybrick. LONDON, February 26.—A meeting was held yesterday evening at East Greenwich to protest against the continued imprison- ment of Mrs. Florence Maybrick for poison- ing her husband. Letters of sympathy from Lady Florence Dixie and many others were read. The meeting adopted a resolu- tion saying that it records its surprise at the fact that the home secretary has re- fused the requisition, praying that a chance be afforded Mrs. Maybrick to petition for @ public rehearing of her case. Recalled to Japan. BERLIN, February 26—The Japanese minister of war, Count Oyama Iwawo, has recalled to Japan all the Japanese officers who have been serving in the German ar- my. The Japanese envoy to Germany, Count Aoki, gave a farewell dinner last evening. Among the toasts was “A happy entry into Pekin.” Count Aoki will sail for New York, from Bremen today, and ex- pects to leave Vancouver, British Colum- bia, on March 14. In Memory of Dr. Horton. LONDON, February 26—The British Bi- metallic League has cabled to Senator Al- lison of lowa, saying that it “Expresses the deepest regret and sympathy with the family and nation at the death of the late Dr. Samuel Dana Horton, whose incessant labors have done so much for the interna- tional monetary reform. Pray send a wreath in our behalf and in affectionate remembrance.” A Diplomat’s Promotion. *LONDON, February 26.—M. de Staal, the Russian ambassador at London, was of- fered today the post of Russian minister of foreign affairs, in succession to the late M. de Gters.

Two strange men were seen in Prince William county, Va., near Occoquan, last week, and Saturday, after a daring rob- bery was committed, they disappeared. The residents of Occoquan were startled at wkat the burglars had done, and for sev- eral miles around thé country has been scoured in hopes of finding the plunder secreted in the woods. The scene of this bold and successful robbery is not more than twenty miles from the scene of the Aquia creek train robbery, for which piece of work the alleged principal is now on trial at Stafford Court House. The appear- ance of these strangers in the vicinity of Occequan caused a little suspicion, for no one knew why the men were there, nor did anybody know what they intended to lo. About 1 o’clock in the morning, after Washington's birthday had been appro- priately celebrated in the old Pohick Church, these men were seen on the road leading from Woodbridge to Occoquan, but the citizen of the county who saw them thought nothing about thelr presence on the road at that hour until Saturday morn- ing, when it was learned that Smoot’s store had been burglarized, and booty to the value of between $500 and $1,000 had n taken. z Smcot’s store is on what is called Front street, the street near the river, and it was well stocked with clothing, jewelry and provisions. This store was probably selected as the “mark” by the burglars because of the fact that they wanted to get the jewelry and also for the reason that there was no one sleeping in the house. ‘When it came to a question of effecting an entrance the burglars would not risk operating from the front, and so they went to the side of the building and succeeded in cutting a large hole through the wall. Once inside the building the burglars had an easy time in getting what they wanted. In the first place they emptied corn meal from several sacks and then filled the sacks with clothing and jewelry. Included in the plunder were eight overcoats, a number of pairs of shoes and a quantity of jewelry, including a handsome gold watch belonging to Mr. Isatah Davis, a resident of the town. He had Jeft his watch at the store to have it repaired. In just what direction the men went after committing the burglary is not known, but it is thought that they possibly went to the woods with the plunder. Others, however, believe that they boarded an early morning train and came this way. Persons living near the store heard the noise made by the burglars, but paid no attention to it, think- ing an animal at large on the road was re- sponsible for it. The police here were notified of the rob- bery, and Inspector Hollinberger’s detec- ues will look for the stolen property and eves. a THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Davis agt.

TO APPOINY A CABINET Organizing an ‘Upper and Lower Body of Defegates. BUSINESS TRANSACTED The National Council of Women held an executive session today at Metzerott Hall in place of the customary public meeting, and for several hours was occupied with the consideration of a number of matters of considerable importance to the council. Among these were the election of officers and action upon several proposed amend- ments to the constitution. The most interesting item of the day’s work was the action on the desired changes to the constitution. These were printed in substance in The Star yesterday, and in- volve a radical change in the construction and organization of the council. These amendments provide for the di- vision of the council into two bodies, an upper and a lower house, based to a cer- tain extent on the organization of the United States Senate and House of Rep- resentatives. Hereafter the upper house of the council will be made up for the most part of the delegates from national organt- zations, while the lower house will be largely composed of the representatives. of local organizations. The outline con- tained in yesterday’s Star gives an idea of the different members who will compose the two houses when the National Council of Womer meet here three years hence. — This idea of two houses in a woman's body is by no means a new one. In her inaugural address as president of the coun- cil, in 1891, Miss Frances E. Willard rec- ommended ‘the change, but even then she gave credit for the suggestion to those who had preceded her in organizations for women’s work. The matter was discussed at the first triennial, but definite action then was postponed until the present meet- ing, with the result that the amendments were all adopted this morning after con- siderable discussion. New Officers. Another matter of general interest was the election of officers. Mrs. May Wright Sewall, the president of the council, had declined re-election, and this left that posi- tion to be filled. By an almost unanimous vote Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson was elect- ed to the office. Mrs. Dickinson is from New York, repre- senting the International Order of King’ Daughters and Sons as. a_ fraternal dele- gate in the council. She is regarded as one of the ablest exegutives in the council and her election givés*general satisfaction. She is the president of the National Order cf King’s Daughters, and has always taken an advanced position in all matters relaz- ing to the advancement of women. She is the author of a number of literary works, and is one of the mgst popular persons in the organization. Rey. Anna H. Shaw of Philadelphia was elected vice presid¢pt at large. Miss Shaw is well known in Washthgton, both in the pulpit and on the fecture platform, and is regarded as one of the very brightest and mest eloquent wymen}‘preachers in the country. + a The election of the otfler officers had not been completed up;to @ late hour this af- ternoon, but it Was then probable that | Hannah J. Bailey of Mane would be chosen to the office of treaSure}of the council. In accordance wjth thé proyisions of the new organization of the’ council the presi- dent will have the selection of a board cf advisers very mueh.om the order of the cabinet..of the Rresidgnt of.the United States. This cabinet is to he made up of women who are eminent In spetial branches of woman's work, ‘phifa@hthropy, education, suffrage, patriotism: und the like, and the appointment of the members of the cab- Inet, which is not, expected for a day or two yet, is looked forward to with a great deal of interest’ by the members of the council.

On account -of this reception there was no afternoon session of the council yes- terday. In the evening there was a large audience present to listen to a number of interesting papers. Two general subjects were discussed at the session—industry and politics. The National Association of Wo- men Stenographers had charge of the in- dustrial part of the program, presenting two able papers by Mary BH. Miller and Marie L. Price, Miss Harriet A. Shinn pre- siding. "The subject of politics was handled by the Woman’s Republican Association of the United States, J. Ellen Foster presiding. “Labor and the Unemployed” was the theme of Miss Miller’s address. It is the duty of the government, she claimed, to come to the aid of the people and secure to them that protection which it promised when it ssprang into’ existence, by ‘the enactment and enforcement of laws which will compel a master to render an ac- counting to his servant. Miss Mary L. -Price of Illinois discussed “The Current Conditions of Labor for Wage-earning Women and Children.” Scoring of Tammany. In opening the second part of the pro- gram Mrs. Foster made a pleasant little speech and then introduced Helen Varick Boswell of New York, who delivered a very entertaining address on “‘The Women Against the Tammany Tiger.” She led off with a sketch of the Tammany <Associa- tion, beginning with its birth, more than a century ago. It was so corrupt, even when it was a baby, that Thomas Jefferson said: “New York seems to be a sewer of all the depravities of human nature.” Miss Bos- well gave a detailed history of the struggle against corrupt municipal government and the final overthrow of Tammany in New York."The question of the lady or the tiger, she said, was’ settled by the New York voting public. “Never did any community of women engage in a worthier struggle, never were their efforts more completely compensated in results. Election day was ‘ladies’ day’ in the best sense of the word and election nfght was ‘a night off’ for the women. “It takes strong words to depict the de- light of both the masses and the classes on election night, and as majority after majority ageinst Tammany rolled in the excitement intensified, the hurrahs grew louder and longer and the faces of the women and of the men who loved them and the right grew brighter and brigh' Even the Tammanyites seemed to forg their grievance for the time being-in the general hilarity. We who had worked and striven so long and earnestly cried aloud in our joy and gave all honor to the best eiements of man and womanhood which had come together and, uniting might with right, had relegated Tammany and its cohorts to an obscurity from which it is to be hoped they will never be permitted to emerge. The work of the women had been great; their share in the victory was greater. The Financial Question. The all-importanf financial question was then taken up, and the women were given an opportunity to express their views on the subject of free silver, the bimetallic standard and all the rest of it. Miss E. F. Pierce of Boston read an ad- dress written by Mrs. Burke on the double standard side of the financial problem. Miss Emily Sheldon of New Haven,Conn., but now a resident of Washington; made an argument for the free coinage of silver. Closing the proceedings Mrs. Foster said: “The subject of the paper which I was to read is ‘How can the moral element in current politics be supplied?” As the hour of adjournment has arrived-I will only say a word, as I do not know that I will have another opportifty of saying it. Aside from the ordinary method, which will oc- cur to you—that is, the responsibility of government, which should embrace all citi- zens alike; aside from intelligence, which always induces a higher moral tone; aside from all this, I believe that the enfran- chisement of women will introduce into politics a moral element. “Not because woman is to be regarded as the exclusive custodian of the moral tone, but because she has by nature this element and is ready at all times for ac- tion. “But it was never God’s will that man and woman should act alone. It is the mutual influence for good ¢f the mind of man upon the mind of womin and of wo- man’s upon man’s that will supply the moral element in current politics. I believed that theoretically once, and I believe it practically now from what I have observed in Colorado. There the women not only brought themselves into political action, but their influence and effect upon the ayer- age voter was good.” ———— CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK. How It is Proposed for Cengress to Partictpate in Its Dedication. Representative Wheeler of Alabama has reported to the House from the joint com- mittee on the Chickamauga and Chatta- nooga National Military Park, a joint reso- lution providing for the participation by Congress in the dedication ceremonies of the park on September 19 and 20 next through the presiding officers of the re- spective houses; the joint committee on park dedication; such Senators and Repre- sentatives as served in the campaign before Chattanooga, and such as may -be named by the presiding officers of the respective houses as representatives of other armies and the navy, or as speakers to represent Cergress. The sergeant-at-arms of the Senate is to make suitable arangement for the con- gressional participation proposed at an ex- pense not to exceed $5,000. The committee thinks it fitting that Congress should be prominently represented at this essentially national occasion, being the first since the war, when, by act of Congress, all depart- ments of the government, the governors of all the states, and the veterans of both armies have been asked to participate. The committee is advised that there will be a very full representation from all thus in- vited, and especially from the army socie- ties, north and south, and the ranks of the veterans of both sides. ————————— Important Pension Decisions. Several decisions on pension questions have been promulgated by Assistant Sec- retery of the Interior Reynolds. In the case of the dependent mother of Abraham Wocds of the twenty-second New Jersey volunteers, who died in the service, the department holds that where the father and the mother of the soldier are without property and the father is unable to sup- port the family, the mother is dependent within the meaning of the law. Her claim was recently rejected by the commissioner of pensions and his action is overruled. The assistant secretary also holds that a muster-in is not essential to the pensiona- ble status ~f a soldier who has been regu- Jarly, according to military law, enlisted in the military service of the government. The ruling -everses the action of the pen- sion bureau. —_—_—_—_+e+____ Army Orders.

IN A DEATH TRAP. William Buchanan Drowned in the - Jumes Creek Canal. There was a pathetic scene witnessed in the South Washington police station when Mrs. Buchanan, a neatly dressed little wo- man from Union street, appeared in the leutenant’s room and asked if her son, William Buchanan, had been arrested. Lieut. Vernon looked at the record of ar- rests, but the name was not there. Then he telephoned to the other stations and learned that none of them had her boy locked up. As soon as she had left the of- fice, Policeman Henry suggested that per- haps the boy who was drowned in the James Creek canal this morning was her son, and the mother was recalled. She ave a description of her boy. He was about sixteen years old, had red hair and @ peculiarly formed hand. Yes,” said the heutenant, in a low tone, “I know something about your boy. He's dead.” The shock was more than the mother could stand, and she sank into a chair and gave vent to her grief. z z “Has any one killed him?” she asked. “No,” replied the Heutenant, “he walked in the canal and was drowned. His body had been sent to the morgue, but the mother soon had Undertaker J. William Lee remove the remains to his es- tablishment. . This boy, although only sixteen years old, was intemperate, and the officers have every reason to believe that he was un- der the influence af liquor when he walked in this foul body of water at 1:20 o'clock this morning. Last evening he left home to go to the theater, and he was returning in the di- rection of his home when he met with the fatal mishap. There is no protection what- ever against this death trap. The canal is not fenced, and it is poorly lighted, and this boy only shared the fate that had be- fallen many persons before him. He was near the M street bridge at the time, and as he fell from the stone wall he screamed. Policemen Bruce and Parks heard the scream, which was followed by a splash, and in the absence of a life-saving station these blue-coated ans hastened to the boy’s assistance. ey fished for him as best they could, but he was dead when they finally located him. ‘As already stated,.many persons have walked into this death trap during past years, and suggestions that the place be protected have never done any. good. Cor- oners’ juries have condemned the canal as a death trap, and it is likely that this con- demnation will be repeated should Coroner Hammett hold an inquest. The police, so far as could be ascertained, have made no special efforts to learn the name or rames of the person or persons who fur- nished this boy liquer. Lieut. Vernon is satisfied that he did not. get his liquor in South Washington, end it is thought that he probably got his first drinks going out between the acts. Coroner Hammett will see the body this on and decide what action he will take. —————— The Douglass Obsequi: To meet a general demand therefor, an extra edition of The Evening Star of Thurs- day, the 2ist, containing details of the death of Frederick Douglass, has been printed; also an extra edition of Monday’s issue, containing full particulars of the fu- neral services, addresses, etc. Copies of either or both may be had at the counter, either wrapped, ready for mailing, or open.

Bender, who was. appointed by Secretary Smith to investigate the respec- tive merits of New York and Chicago as a place for recelving bids and letting con- tracts for general supplies for the Indian service, recommends that the warehouse in each city be used this year, as it was last year. General modifications in the work are suggested. The work of opening bids and letting the contracts will be be- gun in each clty during May. Shells Tested.

He was stricken with apo- plexy Sunday. For the past two weeks Mr. Pease had been in bed, and all winter long had been ill. Werry over the $354,000 defalcation of Samuel C. Seely and Fred- erick Baker had much to do with his ill- ness, and it is believed hastened his end. Mr. Pease had been a director in the bank since 1883, and its vice president since 1887. He was a native of Ohio; and was for a time engaged in business in Detroit, Mich. a - A bill in equity for the sale and partition of premises near 13th and C streets south- west has been filed by Julia A.

To Place Incapnacitated Officers on “Waiting Officers.” The committee on commerce of the Sen- ate has, through Senator Frye, reported an amendment to the naval appropriation bill _ Providing for the appointment of a board of three surgeons of the marine hospital service, to examine and report upon all officers of the revenue cutter service who by reason of infirmities of age or physical or mental disability have become incapaci- tated to efficiently perform the duties of their respective offices, and further provid- ing that such officers reported as incapaci- tated shall be placed on “waiting orders” out of the line of promotion, vacancies: thereby created to be filled by promotion of officers in the order of seniority, as now provided by law. The amendment, if it becomes a lsw, will affect, H is said, but thirty officers, one of whom is ninety-four years of age, with a record of sixty years’ service; another is eighty-three years, and the remainder are past the retiring age in the navy. “The argument,” say the committee in their report, “‘that it is an ‘entering wedge’ for the creation of a civil pension list, can- not be sustained, and-is made only by those who have not studied the matter. It is the fear of a possibility, rather than the con- viction of a probability, that inspires such argument, an¢ it has been put forward against every proposition to and extend the pension list for the benefit of those directly and immediately connected with the army and navy. It cannot be drawn into a precedent, even if it were outside of the legitimate principle govern- pensions. But if this would be a sufficient answer to say that by no possibility can this list ever exceed forty beneficiaries and an annual expendl- ture, after ten years, of $20,000 per an- nul « The University of America. Representative Hainer of Nebraska has introduced a bill to establish the University of America, in which each state, territory and congressional district shall be entitled to an equal proportionate number of stu- dents, chosen by means of open competitive examinations. Instruction in all the high- er branches of all departments of knowledge is to be given and facilities furnished for scientific and literary research and investi- gation. The government of the university is to be vested in a board of twenty regents. —__—_+-o~_______ The Deiiciency Appropriations. The House yesterday passed the deficiency, appropriation bill, defeating, however, the amendment suggested by the administra- tion appropriating $400,000 to pay the Bef- ing sea seal fishery awards agreed upon by Secretary Gresham in conference with the British minister. The House adopted an amendment grant- ing an extra month's salary to the clerk of each member and to the employes of the House and Senate. Mr. Bynum’s amendment was adopted refunding to members the amounts with- held from their own salaries by the opera- tion of the law deducting for the time they are absent without leave. This amendment went through very quietly, no one attempt- ing to debate it. —_——__-2-—____—__ The Trial at Stafford Court House. The prosecution in the Aquia Creek train robber trial at Stafford C. H., Va. yes- terday, rested its case at the after- noon session. Only two witnesses were in- troduced, Mr. George W. Moss, who proved that the stolen pouch belonged to the Ad- ams Express. Company, and Mr. White, who identified the pouch as the one found in the woods by Searcey. Here the prose- cution rested, and the defense stated that they had not. expected that the common- wealth would finish their evidence at such an early hour, and, therefore, their. wit- nesses were not on hand. They had, how- ever, only four, and those could be exam- ined in a very short time today, and coun- sel for the defense wanted time at any rate to prepare instructions, and so at 4 o'clock court adjourned. Messrs. W. Merchant, Kaufman, Albert B. Botts and Jas. P. Corbin, it was understood, would be introducee as witnesses today, wit- nesses for Morgan. There are four other indictments ‘still against him that will be tried before the case will be ended. —-— - eee -—- — President Holmes of the Merchants’ Bank of Lake City, Mich., loaned himself over $30,000 of the bank’s money, and the insti- tution is now in an 's hands. -Castoria For Infants and Children.
