Results Accomplished in Preventing Disease and in Checking Abuses. Particular interest attaches at this time, during the session in Washington of the American Humane Society, to a paper pre- pared by Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the United States bureau of animal industry, Department of Agrieuiture, descriptive of what is being done by the federal govern- ment toward the alleviation and prevention of the diseases and abuses of animals in the United States. This paper, recently printed in the Philadelphia Medical Jour- nal, has been issued as a pamphlet. Dr. Salmon notes first the most incredible ‘n- crease in the number of farm animals in the United States, estimating their present numbers mules, 4 follows: 16,50",000 horses and "0,000 head of cattle, 10,000 swine and 330,00 that the aggregate of suffering among these vast herds and flocks from preventable diseases and exposure and from abuses is beyond the power of the imagina- tion to conceive. He describes briefly the work which has been dene by the bureau of animal industry toward the eradication of the preven i among the animais, first noting distinet igators have. discovered and studied the germs of these diseases.

He said he considered the Panama cenal sly impracticable. He sup- ported amendment relieving the bill of its bond provisions, saying it would ly improve the measure. he Clayton-Bulwer treaty formed the f£ speech by Mr. Money. He advocated delay in order to afford oppor- tunity for negotiation looking to the abro- gation of the treaty. Mr. Money said we shouid at least notify Great Britain that we desire a modification of the t aca first step. In this connection M Money referred to the entente cordiale existing be- tween thi: untry and England, that he anted to see the two brought ev2n closer together than now. Hence the importance and propri of dealing fairly and courteously with Great Britain in this important matter.

Mr. Stewart advocated the bill as a most important step in the progr>ss of «he com- merce of the orld and urged sena:ors to accept it as it stands.

In a report to the State Department, de- scriptive of the rapid increase of the Amer- ican trade with Germany in iron and steel goods, Commercial Agent Stern, at Bam- berg, predicts that the United States will soon surpass England in the value of ex- ports of machinery to Germany. The pres- ent year shows even a falling off in™the case of England, while the imports of American machines show an increase of 75 per cent over last year’s figures. In 1895 the imports of the United States of these goods into Germany did not amount to as | compensation is fixed upon a basis of eight hours per diem, and who, between Mareh 18, 1898, and October 31, 1898, were employ- ed at any United States navy yard or na- val station, and who worked in excess ef eight hours per day and have not already received said additional compensation; the amount due each laborer, workman’ and mechanic affected by the above to be based upon the time records of the several bu- reaus at the navy yard or naval station where the work was performed. The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on raval affairs. HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE Brings back the strength you used to have.
