The board tonight iesued an order permitting the danding of cattle un- der certain restrictighs from the steamer Irishman, which had arrived at Liverposl, and the $teaters Kansas and Victorian, due today, and Cambria, due at London. Meantime the imperters here say the quarasifine has little effect on the Ameriean meat supply since the bulk comes from the west and it is merely 4 question of shipping | the cattle via New York instead ot Boston. Regarding the general question of opening British- ports to Canadlan and Argentine cattle, there 15 not the’slightest likelihood of the admit{ance of Argentine cattle until | the Board of Agriculfufe is satisfied, that the foot and mouth disease has not only been stamped out in Argentine, ‘but an ef- fectual squarantine @stablished against the surrounding infected territony. On the other, hand, the opening of Brit- 1sh ports to CanaMan tattle is not only im- vrobable, but would not-thvorably affect the | English meat supply; becduse it Is cheaper 1o scll Cdmadian range stecrs in the United States. and ship them dreised to England than to import them alive to be fattened for the market. Stone Admonishes Votes. « HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. §.—Governor Stone has taken prompt action to raise ths | quarantine which has been ordered by Gov- ernor Yates of 1linois against Pennsylvania cattle. He wrote a letter protesting against this actlon and advistng that there had been no foot and mouth disease in this stato sinco 1882, there has been none in New York and that there is none and has been none in New Jersey He adds: To quarantine Pennsylvania is to say in effect that cattle of Pennsylvania are dis- gaeed or suspected of disease. There I3 no whadow of truth in such a supposition | and it will injure the export of cattie | from all the states, as they nearly all pass through Pennsylvania enroute to port or export. o The effect of you order Is to say that there Is danger of foot and mouth disease infection in the states around and close to the ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Your actlon ‘may cause an un- Justifieable scare that will injure tne whole ¢aport trade in live animais In this coun- Ty The foot and mouth disease In the United States is confined to a territory within a radius of 1) miles from Boston. 1 hope that you will withdraw your quarantine o-- Jder aguinst those states not infected. By 80 dolng you will not only be doing a jus- tce to Pennsylvania, but you will also undo in part a serious injury to the ex- port trdde of the whole country. ‘The governor's letter is also signed by Dr. Parson, secretary of the Pennsylvania Live Stock Sanitary board.

After.the first effects are past, comes breaking down of ‘the nerve centers and general nervous derangement.

ASKS LABOR MEMBERS IN REICHSTAG Cluims Simple Woul We! Tend to Promote G Artisans Other Be comed by Classes an od Feellng Throughout Country. BRESLAU, Prussia, Dec. 5.—~Emperor Willlam, addressing a deputation of work- ingmen today, made a bitter anti-socialist speech, declaring it was a lie to say that workmen had to rely on the soclalist party | for a beiterment of their position. The soclalists, he added. had terrorized and trod the workingmen under foot, and as men of honor they must have no more to do with them. The presence of the workmen, he main- tained, shawed that they had not disap- pointed him in the expectation he ex- presséd at Essen and had helped to keep free from repronch the memory - of his friend, the late Herr Krupp. The working classes were always the object of his deen interest and solicitude. Therefore he was Justified in addressing a word of warning to_them. For years they had let themselves be led by agitators and socialists, under the de- lusion that they must belong to the party It they wished to better their vosition. | That was a great lie and a serious mistake These agitators had tried to stir up work- ingmen against their employers, agalnst other classes and against the throne and altar. At the samo time they had most unscrupulously exploited, terrorized and enslaved them in order to strengthen thefr own power. They had sown hatred between the classes and disseminated cowardly slanders, from which nothing, not even the grandest quality—-the honor of German | manhood—remained immune. With such people the working class, as honor-loving men, should have nothing to do. He concluded with asking the deputation to send a comrade from their midst. a sim- ple, unpretending man from the workshon Into the natlonal Parliament.

Theycupon his majesty took the baton and conducted several old | Hanoverlan marches. He afterward handed the baton to Von Moltke, who directea several of his own compositions. The next day the emperor visited the band while it was at practice, remafuing for an hour, and again conducted various numbers.

It Is equally true that hundreds of thousands of men and women at work in our great factories will die sooner because of being there.
