MAY CET EVEN WITH ERASCE, Dangor in the Importation of Fine Cattlo | !} from Normandy, | | SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THE COUNTRY | Agricnltural Department Recelves Reports Which Prove that Anie mals Nrousht Across the Sea Are Infected with Disease. WASHINGTON, Sopt. 6.—The Indifference #hown in the United States to the prevalence of ¢angerous diseases In France and their possible spread to the United States to cattle in imported breeds Is discussed in a com- munieation forwarded to Secretary Morton by D. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of al Industry. The communication Is in to a flotter of Inquiry from the ry eoncerning the advantage which an mportation of the Norman breed of cattle e to the farming and dalry interests. Imon says in part: “There have been v importations of Norman cattle which are prized for their milking qualities, for the flavor of the butter produced from their milk and for their value as beef producers, Such caltle have proved very satisfactory and no doubt a larger number would have been imported but for the danger of In- troducing contagious diseases with them. The district in whigh the Norman cattle are bred comprises the departments of Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne and Seine-Inferieur This district adjoins the departments of Seine and Selne-et-Oise, which are the worst in- fected with pleuro-pneumonia of apy of the French provinces. It is only recently that the departments in which these cattle have been bred pneum and there s the greatest danger of its ading to them again at any. time by the movement of cattle from the Infected region mentioned “Unfortunately the district from where it would be necessary to bring these cattlo is also infected with other dangerous diseases. For instance, hoof and mouth disease was reported from Calvados and Manche in Janu- ary, from Calvados in March, from Seine- Inferfour in April and Calvados and Seine- Inferieur in May of the present year. Evi- dently this discase is domiclled there and it would be extremely dangerous to Import any cattle from either of the five depart- ments which are comprised in the Norman districts.” Anthrax is also very prevalent In that district. Tuberculosis has been reported from Seine-Inferienr each month of the year These are official reports. In regard to the prevalence of tuherculosis in France, Prof. Nocard of the Alford Veterinary school re- ports that there is not sufcient data to estimate cven approximately the number of tuberculosis anlmals. Dr. Salmon encloses a clipping from a newspaper of Nantes, France saying that the minister of agriculture is alarmed at the spread of tuberculosis in all the cattle raising districts. He then con- cludes as follows: “The facts are suflicient to show that Norman cattle cannot be safely imported from France under the present con- ditfon of affairs in that country. As the French government is so sensitive concern- ing the existence of less dangerous diseases of cattle in the United Statcs and has pro- hibited the landing of American cattle on that account, It is surprising that so much indifference has been shown in regard to the prevalence of dangerous diseases in that country and the danger of exporting them with thelr pure breed cattle which are pur- chased by the breeders of other countries.” to Act Independently of d in the Chinese Aftair. GTON, Sept. 6.—The United States government, It is authoritatively stated at the State department, has decided to enter forthwith upon an independent investigation of the Cheng 'Tu riots, with the co-operation of a Chinese representative, As at first ar- ranged the inquiry was to have been made in co-operation with England, but there has been a change of plan within the past few days, occasioned partly by the fact that the British consul at Ku Cheng, who was to conduct the investigation on behalf of his governm and to whom, with the con- currence of an American missionary mem- ber, it was at first proposed to entrust the preliminary fnvestigation of the facts, has been detained at his post and it is sald will not be able to begin the inquiry for a month or_more. There are also understood to be other reasons why ‘the State department of the government has decided upon an independent investigation, such as France has already made, and such as England will make later It 1s 'said at the State department that it is not true, however, as has been reported, that tho policy of this government nas 'been changed by any feeling of dissatistaction or resentment caused by whatever apparent de- lay has supervened on England's part in pro- ceeding with the inquiry. The department has other reasons, which it is not prepared to make public. China is expected to lend her support to the American inquiry to the ex- tent of supplying an escort to the persons who will conduct it, but who have not yet been designated, and will probably furnish an officlal who will co-operate with the Amer- ican investigator as In the Ku Cheng in- were Geclared free from pleuro- | vestigation. The investigation is expected to be made by some officials now on the Chinese coast. It will probably take a month to reach Cheng Tu, which Is the capital of the in- terlor province of Szechuen and some 1,600 miles from the nearest ocean port. TRANSFER OF TROOPS.

Under the rules of the court the claimants might put off making the for more than six moaths, bul thero seems to be no reasonable doubt that the Oxnard company will favor an early ad- judication, although Senator Caffery, it is un- derstocod, has protested against being forced into the courts on the questions Involved. The case, when It reaches the court of claims, be under the charge of Assistant Attorney General A. E. Dodge, who is espe- @lally charged with the defenss of the govern- fa all eases before that court. M. Jodgs very likely will ask to have the en advanced. Tt is probuble In view of interes involved that the court will consent to try it alinost (mmediately after it convenes on Oe- 28, unless the claimants should ask fur- me for preparation. It is the general expoetation, however, that both parties will 7 early 1. November. Whatever the dsciston the case undoubtedly will be ap- pealed to ihe supreme court. The govern- mont, It is said, would not rest on an adverse decision and it s equally ccrtain that the ciaimants would not. In the meantime all the claims for bounty under the appropriation will_be held up pending final determination by the supreme court of the question of the constitutionality of the appropriation.

STILL DRAWING our THE GOLD, Syndicate Falled to Make Good the Losses for the I WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—A telegram re- ceived at the Treasury department this after noon states $1,600,000 In gold has been with- drawn for export from the subtreasucy at New York. Slight gains, however, were made at Chicago and other points, aggregating $186,- 000, 50 the true amount of the reserve at the close of business was $98,5613,529. The cash balance was $181,577,168. The treasury officials retain their usual ret'cence on the subject, but there is 1o doubt that they wore somewhat disappointed and surprised that the syndicate permitied the business day to close without making any deposit. From the first the officials have confidently believed $100,000,000 was the lowest point which the syndicate would permit the reserve to reach, and hence their inaction at this time is not understood. There is, however, no alarm felt, as it is expected the syndicate will come to the rescue on the first sign of uneasiness on the part of the public SPAIN WILL PAY IN WASHINGTON.

Methods of Econemy Borrowed from furope Proving Profitable. NORFOLK, Neb., Sept. 6.—(Special.)—The entire beet crop of Nebraska has been “laid by" for several weeks, and its present con- dition, taken as @ whole, is very good in- deed, more than fulfilling the most hopeful expectations of the early part of the season. Any danger of the crop being diminished by drouth has been long since overcome by timely showers, while the recent heavy ralns have given a strong impetus of development to the roots, in consequence of which a very heayy average yleld is looked for, in fact, with a cost'nunce of such favorable conditions the to'al quantity of beets that the two factories will before m'dwinter convert into some thousands of tons of granulated sugar will be n-ary three t'mes larger than ever before To faciiitate the harvesting, by permitting it to be taken at eisy stages, and without con- flicting with other farm work that comes at the same period, many of the farmers are already taking advantage of the company's ofter of an increased price for siloing a part of thelr crop. The bee's are stored simp'y and safely in trenches made in the field until called in by the factory, and the innovation bids falr to prove as popular here as it Is in Europe. The heavy demand for ths beet pulp weeks in advance of the operations of tho factories proves that enother custom borrowed from abroad is rapidly ga‘ning a firm footing here, as well as demonstrating the permanent vilue of this mew food pro- duct.

The afternoon session was opened with the reading of a paper by Clark Bell on ‘“‘Hyp notism in the Courts of Law.” Mr. Bell sent a letter to several prominent physicians, asking: “Can crime be committed by the hypnotic power, the subject being the un- conscious and innocent agent and instru- ment? It the subject is unconscious and even unwilling, has the hypnotizer such power and domination over the hypnotized as could control action to the extent of a commission of a crime? 1Is it possible to re move by hypnotic suggestion from the mind of the subject all memory of acts or occur- rences which happened In"the hypnotic state? Would it b2 possible for a hypnotizer to so control a hypnotized subject as to, for ex- ample, make him sign a will in the presence of third parties, declare it to be his will and then request them to sign as attesting wit- nesses and be afterward wholly unconscious of the occurrence, or a note of hand, or a check?" Reports in the affirmative were received from several eminent professors, while others, conceding that persons in a hypnotic state are constantly amenable to control by suggestions, denied that hypnotism has any place in criminal jurisprudence as a defense for crime. Mr. Bell pointed out that it ap- peared the majority of medical men in this country did not recognize hypnotic trance 15 an existing fact. The lawyers and judges were on the same grounds as the doctors. In the courts of Europe the contrary was the fact, and men of the highest character and professional attainments devoted their best efforts to its study and elucidation. As it was with professional men, 0 it was with the people. Prof. Carl Sextus of Chicago wrote to say that a natural criminal could be made to do criminal acts under hypnotic Influence, but not a person of real moral worth. .Dr. W. L. Howard of Baltimore said that hypnotism was a reality. He gave several instances of hypnotized persons in Baltimore including his own servant, whom he sent to a neighboring physician’s laboratory to steal everything the doctor had. He restored the fellow while he had the articles still in his possession. The doctor confessed it affected the man's brain somewhat, but he always took care, except on this occasion, to get the subject back into a good mental state bofore he completely restored him. The doctor had also hypnotize1 a bank cashier and made him steal $45,000. He performed an operation in the Johns Hopkins university with the pa tient under hypnotic influence. Hypnotism was invaluable as a corrector of morals, Dr. Grover of Massachusetts told of a young lady in Boston who had a tendency to tuber- culosis being cured by hypnotic influence. The following resolution was adopted on-a motion of Clark Bell: “Resoived, That in the opinfon of this Medico-Legal congress not only should th subject of medical jurisdiction be recognized in the various Institutions of learning, but in the medical and law schools of this country, that such schools should include it in their studies, and that examinations on this sub- Ject be made necessary for the graduation in either medicine or law.” On motion of R. S. Rensom the following passed: Resolved, That it is the duty, and would add to the interests and benefit of the lega and medical professions, If every national and state medical soclety and every national and state bar association in the United States and British provinces should appoint a standing committe upen medical jurisprudence.’ The session then adjourned and the con- gress ended with a banquet and reception to- night. nd Prof. C. wo Remark- Antimonial Poison- then en- C.
