If it Hadn't Beeu For His Al leged Associations, He'd Have Kicked Him Out, Blaine Denies All Connection ‘With Shipherd and the “Go 1It, Steve,” Story. Procecdings in Congress and Other National Notes SHIPHERD. National Asociated Press, BLAINE'S TRSTIMONY. Wasnivarox, D. C., April 24— Blaine, testifying, said he never saw the missing papers. He had no 1dea where thei-aould be feund. They were of such character as not to at- tract the attention of the secretary of state, but to go through the hands of the chief clerk, who would not bother the secretary about them. He eriti- cised the committee for trying to get at the policy of the government, re- garding South America throngh the vaporing of such a man as Shipherd, saying the better w:{ would have been to peruse the official dispatches first. He saw Shipherd on the evening of July 25, when Blair introduced gi The interview was short. He never saw him at any time except in the company of Blair, and did not see him again until November, Blaine produced an envelope containing all the correspondence between him and Hurlbut, and said it contained no dis- closures, and detailed the first inter- view with Shipherd. Whén the latter showed the names of all his alleged eminent counsel, in- cluding one senator and three ex- senators, besides prominent business men as Jnrtneru, I could not kick him outside, because the bare show- ing entitled him to attontion. Only for them I would have done what I ractically did three or four months ter—kick him out. At first Ship- herd presented the matter simply as a claim. Blaine dil not warrant inter- ference. Shipherd subsequently said the land was absolute property. Blaine then said he would investigate. Shipherd’s statement that he had | told witness at the first interview he had offered Hurlburt $250,000 worth of stock for his services was an ab- solute, out of whole, irredeemable, detestable lie, Blaine denied the ‘‘Go it, Steve” story, and produced evi- dence from those = who Shipherd alleged to know of it to the effect that it was false. With refer- _enca to Garfield's alleged interference, suguration till the day ho was. shot, with the ex- ception of those days he was at Al- bans with hissick wife. Our intimacy 'was not a common one. I do not say this boastfully. It is necessary to speak of it to clear his name, the rge being laid upon this dirty job in my connection with him as a member of his cabinet. I declare that the idea that he would detail a scheme for this unknown non- descript to csrry out in Peru without speaking to his secretary of state is in- conceivable and the product of lying and perjury. The face of the glcta disprove it. I do not think this man Shlfiherd is responsible, for falsehood with him is an employment and per- jury a pastime. There was nothing in his testimony that struck my feel- ing at this attempt to strike down a great name into the dirty puddles he was trying to stir up for himself and plunder.” CONGRESS National Associated Frees. PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE, WasHINGTON, April 24,—Mr, In- galls presented a petition of the peo- le of Washington territory prayin or declaration of forfeit of {nn granted to.the Northern Pacific rail- ‘way. 'fhe bill alloting land in severaltyto Indians to be reservation and extend- ing the protection ot the laws of the United States overIndians was passed, The whole of the afternoon session was consumed in a debate of the bill for the improvement of the Missis- sippi snd Missouri rivers, and executive session the senate at 5:20 adjourned, YROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE, Mr Robinson's resolution that the committee on foreign affairs be cen- sured for delay in reporting on the resolution regarding such affairs was brought up by the mover and consid- eration postponed till to-morrow be- cause members of the committes are absent on the Shipherd investigajion. The senate bill amending agricul- tural acts to allow states which have established agricultural colleges to in- vest certain money due them in real estate mortgages passed. Mr. Marsh offered a resolution re- uesting the attorney general as to the proper way to stop the violation of the eight hour law in the war, navy and other de) ents. Referred, Mr, Ford (Mo.) introduced by re- quest a bill establishing a board of Mississippi levee commissioners and appropriating for levees and improve- ments 7,500,000, $2,500,000 to be spent above Cairo on the Mississippi, fiwurl and Ohio rivers, the balance on the first named below Cairo, to be issued in greenbacks from the treas- for this special purpose, r. Cox (N. Y.) offered a resolution to sanction the calling of the peace congress by the president, extending the call to Canada and extending the power of the congress to create a re- ciprocity treaty between the coun- tries. Mr. Atkins offered a bill abolishing the tax on manufactured and leaf to- 300, _ Bills were introduced to pay pen- #'ons of soldiers of the late war, for a combined conferenca en_prisons, ap- propriating 81,000,900 for the pur- chase of groceries and to erect a new mansion for the president. Mr. Robeson's motion to strike out the clause which permits the em- ployment of men mot union soldiers or sailors on the police force of the District passed by 102 ayes to 77 nays. , A long, exciting debate followed, Mr. MoLean §Ml land) umigning Mr. Robeson for his indecent attacl on the record of the democratic party during the war in having said that the record of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Cox) was better than that of his party. o speaker said that the object of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. olman) in sup- porting Robeson im his bombastic speech on the wsoldier was no more respectable than Robeson. This brought on a sharp inquiry from Rob- eson ns to whether McLean meant to say his object in s ing was not re- spectable. MoLean followed with a long reply, saying he could not avoid seeing the object in some cases, mot only in the gentleman from New Jersey but in others. He was en- tiroly responsible for what he said, whether he gave offense or not, but was frank to say he did not mean to be offensive. He did, however, ob- ject to the gentleman's arraigning the democratic party as not loyal. Robeson replied that he waited patiently for the response, knowing then when he (McLeati) rose to dis- tribute epithets he usually went too far, as the results had rproven. He would not impugn his motives, but would remind him that they who are M. | glways ready to impugn motives of others seldom are pure themselves. He (Robeson) was not one of them to remind another of its unpleasant war record, but when union soldiers and sailors were attacked he pro- posed to stand by them. McLean replied, defendiag the record of the party and asserting tha¥ there were as many democrats as re- publicans in the union army. This brought Miller (Pa.) to his feet with a denial of the statements, and a long discussion ensued, in'which the vote of the army on the election of Gavernor Curtin, of” Pennsylvania, and the election of President Lincoln were quoted, showing ‘four times as many republican as democratic votes. To this McLean replied that the history of the soldiors’ vote, if told aright, would cast into insignificance any of the stories of tissue ballots or stuftiing of ballot boxes, told in later ears, This statement brought out some sharp inquiry from the other side, to which McLean responded that he did not charge direct fraud but that the influence of circumstances in the army controlled the vote of the men and caused many real democrats to vote with republicans. During the discussion which fol- lowed, the vote in Pennsylvania for Governor Curtin was mentioned and filler, in _of Ourtin’s a8 & war y -8l him strongly, sayi ‘noble course during the war led him to even forgive him for occupying a seat on the other side of the house, as he does now. Mr. Curtin rose in his seat and re- sponded briefly, speaking earnestly and touchingly of the patriotism of the people of his state during the war and their support accorded him in his duties. A long debate followed in which Mr. Randall took brief part, saying in regard to democrats and the war, that he feared the favorable result which, thank God, was reached might not have been reached but for the aid of the loyal democrats as members of the union army. After the whole afternoon had been passed in this sort of debate, the bill was passed with the objectionable section omitted, leaving as it now stands, that only union soldiers shall be employed on the police force of ‘Washington, A bill was introduced appropria- ting $200,000 for expenses of the Mississippi river commission, and $300,000 for expenses of the board of health, The bill requiring foreign vessels to be subject to the rame inspection a8 American vessels on leaving port was passed, as was also the bill to permit the Southern Maryland rail- read to run into Washington.

New York, April 24.—A fire this evening in the works of the New York Smelting and - Refining company but of every man. woman and child in thw north. From information gathered from various sources it appears that not less than thirty, and per- haps forty per eont. of the eastorn calves taken to western pastures died within six months after their arrival. Their flesh is so tende: and soft that they are seldom able to withatand the hardships of transpor- tation, and, at the very best, some wooks of very careful attention are necessary to carry them toa point where they will begin to thrive. In not a fow well known oases the pur- chaser has lost nearly all of the calves, and in more instances fifty to cent. have died, hardships of the passage, or from at- tacks of lung worms (strougglus mi. cruris), of which they have brcught to the west more in the last two years than were ever known here before. The traffic has given riso to reports of death from the fatal pleuro-pneumonia reports which, although repeatedly and em- phatically contradicted by the best authorities in the land, still find cre- dence with and publication by promi- nent eastern journalists. a recent issue of Harper's Weekly it is asserted that, ‘‘pleuro.pneumonia has also often appeared as far west as the Missouri river.” Theso reports, un- warranted though they are,nullify the efforts of our government and the true friends of the live stock industry, by serving as a pretext for keeping alive in England alarm and determined op- position to all measures for modifying existing restrictions which practi- eally place » prohibitory tariff of from ten to fifteen dollers upon every well-finished American bullock, thus depriving American cattle own- ers of millions of dollars? Thero is but one argument in favor of this dangerous traflic; it may give to eastern dairymen and farmers a little profit they would not get were it not for this trade; it gives to the railroads, the stock yards and the dealers a few extra dollars, but all these dollars come from the western stockman, who, in too many casen, has little or nothing left for ii- mon- ey but a memory of tedious nursing of sickly calves and of fast falling losses. In Chicage some 33,000 calves were last year sold to farmers and to others who took them from thecity. The usual range of prices was from ten to thir- teen dollars per head. If to these prices we add only twenty-five per cent. for deaths, we will have $12.60 to $10.25 as the market cost of these calves. To this should. be added the expense of carrying them to their destination, and of the nursing nec- easary to put them into growing con- dition, and it will be found that most odused a loss of $4,600, and spread to within twenty-tive feet of where 2,000,000 rifle cartridges, condemned by the government and purchased by tb. members of the firm, were stacked.

It says: “Since the dairy calf trade of the east has become so important a factor in the stuck cattle trade of the west, the problem of dispesal of the surplus calves of the great dairy regions seems to be solved, As it is imprac- ticable to raise any number of these calves in the region in which they are produced, their destination has been the veal market, which, at certain sea- sons of the year, has heretofore been inyariably overstocked., Since the western outlet is now afforded, the excess should ro longer exist,although there are times yet in which too many tho- history of the oity | een - less from stajted at 3 o'clock tkis alurnm hardships’ of tnn“.“'ifi’n‘. n& of theso animals bave cost. from six- teen to twenty dollars per head, It is safe to say that thousands of good calvas raised in the west were sold to butchers last autwmn for less money. Haud they been taken instead of those ‘eastern ealbves there would have would not havebeen even a remote pos- aibility of their ing fatal contagi- ous diseases with «fim. because, The Stockman has repeatedly asserted no such diseases have ever existed in the west, Tt will perhaps be urged that the dairy calves do not come from infeo- tod distriots, but what proof of the truth of such an assertion can be iven, in the face of the fact that at fint one car load of calves was last ear taken from New York city toa ifiuinippi river point. It is well known that there are no means by which one part of the United States can protect itself from the danger of importing, in an animal in which, perhaps, no sign of the disease may be apparent, the most viclent and con- tagious ailment known among Ameri- can cattle. It is easy to see how one of these dairy calves might come to the west from a herd quite recently infected, and plant the soeds deeply by coming in contact with cattle which, roaming at will over wide ranges, would nfect whole herds, which would in turn infect others. Long before the presence and nature of the disease would be suspected irreparable mischief would be done. Pastures, fences and build- ings would receive and store the germs; railroads would rapidly spread them throughout wne whole west, and stock yards would be active centers from which the contagion would spread, carrying ruin to the east, from whence the eyil will have come. the dairy calves tho eastern states have sold would not equal in value the cattle the east ~will lose by pleuro-pneumonia if that plague once reaches the west. As long as this movement in cattle from the east to the west shall continue there will be good ground for serious alarm, for almost as surely as the sun will rise to-morrow this movement will bring ruin upon the herds of the west. Do not forget that even in the east,where the movement of cattle are restricted calves come forward. The ultimate effect of this western moyement, though, will likely bo to make veal a more stable commodity and give both farmers and shippeis a chance to make something out of its production and W 0. The calf trade of the east has become an important factor in the atore cattle trade of the west, not because of the number of calves brought to the west, for the total number of eastern calves put upon western pastures in 1881 probably fell below fifty thousand, and if all of these calves should be brought te maturity they would not supply the Chicago market two weeks; nor is it important because of the value of these calves to the west, for they cost for morethan they are worth; nor because of any profit it puts into the pockets ot eastern farmers, for that can be but a trifle more than they would get from eastern markets for the calves as veal; but it is important because it misleads and defrauds those western farmers who are foolish onough to buy these calves, and, more than all else, because its existenes constantly endangers the welfare, not only of every|cattle owner of the west, and pleuro-pneumonia has been held in nhvack, nphu for many years defied all efforts at eradication. In the west, with the free movement of oattle an the constant passing of stock trains between widely separated points, its rapid spread would be inevitable; its extinotion practically impossible, I venture to predict that, unless the 0 of animals from the east and rom foreign countries be soon Ipl.mod under far more stringent regulations than any now in force in America, we will see the day when any man who shall bring to the west an animal from the herds of the east, or from any in- fected land across the water, will re- oceive, as he now deserves, the execra- tions of the whole people. Congress is now considering meas- ures intended to protect the vast cat- tle industry ot the west from further danger from the sources mentioned above, and it is the duty of those whose interests in the west are in- volved to use their influence with their representatives in Washington to secure the e of & bill which shall afford ample protection.
