DISEA8EWA8 HIDDEN
Wilson Reports to Cabinet
on Cattle Embargo.
ALARM CAUSED IN. ENGLAND
British Port May Be Closed to Amer
ican Ships and Price of Meat May
Go Soaring Rentrictive Meas-
urea Already Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S At the Cabinet
meeting today Secretary Wilson -discussed
the measures he had taken to suppress
the epidemic of foot and mouth disease
which Tiad appeared among livestock in
New England. From such information as
Secretary Wilson has obtained, he be
lieves the disease has existed in that sec
tion for some time, but has been con
cealed. Every effort will be made to stamp
It out. The quarantine measures taken
yesterday, it is thought, will prove effect
ive to prevent the spread of the disease
to other states. Dr. Salmon, chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, probably -will
be sent to New England at once.
The following appointments under the
Department of Justice were agreed to:
Judge L. It. Lewis, of Hichmond, Va.,
United States District Attorney Tor the
"Eastern District of Virginia; Sol Beathea,
United States District Attorney for the
Chicago District, and Morgan H. Beach,
United States District Attorney for the
.District of Columbia.
WOULD CLOSE BRITISH PORTS.
Cattle Disease Good Excnse for Blow
at American Shipping?.
BOSTON, Nov. 28. Dr. Samuel, E. Ben
nett, Inspector of the United States Bu
Teau of Animal Industry, said, regarding
the cattle quarantine:
"The British government would close
her ports to all our ships on slight pre
text All that It would look at is that
there is foot and mouth disease in the
United States. It makes no difference
whether the cattle are yarded In Massa
chusetts, or In Kansas, or in Iowa. It
was only a short time ago that the Ar
gentine Republic was shipping a great
many cattle over to Liverpool. These
ships were on the sea, but the word was
carried ahead of them that there was a
cattle disease In Argentina, and when the
vessels got there they found every British
port closed against them. Those ships
had to put to sea, slaughter their cattle In
mldocean and throw them overboard. The
ports were closed to them for three yeats.
Three years' time would mean the loss of
more than 2,000,000 head of export cattle
from the ports of the United States. I
don't look for any long period of this
trouble."
The Cunarder Sylvia, which will sail to
morrow for Liverpool, was booked to take
664 cattle and 750 sheep; the Sagamore,
sailing Sunday for Liverpool, 600 cattle
and 1075 sheep, and the Colombian, for
London. 500 cattle and 1200 sheep. Other
bookings of livestock for steamers leaving
here within the next 10 days arc- as fol
lows: Englishman, for Liverpool, 231 cat
tle: Merlon, for Liverpool, 800 cattle; Ul
tonia, for Liverpool, 543 cattle; Armenia,
for Liverpool, 650 cattle and 1000 sheep;
Kingstonian, for London, 260 cattle and
1800 sheep; Virginian, for London, 425 cat
tle. The shipments figure up more than
55.000 in freight charges.
J. A. Hathaway, one of the largest ex
porters of cattle in the country, considers
the order of the Secretary of Agriculture
forbidding the exportation of cattle from
NTew England a very serious blow to deal
ers in livestock. Tonight he said of the
situation at the Waterton yardsr
"Within the last few days there have
been received there 500 cattle and 750
sheep. They are all Irr sound condition.
As soon as I learned of the order, I com-
municated with the Washington officials
to find out what could be done about mov
ing these cattle and ohep. Swift & Co.
took similar action. Tonight we received
notice that that portion of stock on hand
could be moved Immediately. During the
day cattle and sheep were inspected and
pronounced all right. Today they were
shipped here and placed on steamers which
will sail tomorrow. I believe that these
shipments to Europe will be the last for
some time from New England ports, or at
least until conditions change. Certainly
none of the exporters can make a move in
this direction until the restrictions have
been removed."
WITKIS XARROW AREA.
All Cases Reported Are "Within Short
Distance of Boston.
BOSTON. Nov. 28. The cattle bureau of
the State Board of Agriculture up to today
had received about 100 Individual reports
of the presence of the fpot and mouth
contagion, which has caused the Secretary
of Agriculture to prohibit the exportation
of cattle from Boston, and to establish a
quarantine of cattle, sheep and swine In
New England. It is stated that all re
ports received had come from localities
within 75 miles of Boston. The eloping of
the Brighton stockyards, the principal one
in New England, by the State Board of
Agriculture, will cause an interruption to
traffic which, under ordinary circum
stances, aggregates 500 to 700 head of cattle
a day.
Nevr Hampshire oIIotts Suit.
CONCORD. N. H.. Nov. 28. The State
Board of Cattle Commissioners issued an
order today directing that because of the
prevalence of foot and mouth disease in
cattle In Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and Vermont, no- cattle or
hogs shall be permitted to enter New
Hampshire from the states named until
the order Is revoked. The action is pre
cautionary, 'as the board knows of no
cases of the disease in the state.
CONSTERNATION IN LONDON.
Fears That Emlmrsro May"Become
General and Advance Prices.
LONDON, Nov. 2S. The exclusion of
American cattle has caused a feeling
amounting almost to consternation in the
shipping and meat trades. Fears are ex
pressed that the Interdiction may be ex
tended to imports from other United
States ports, which would result in a
great rise in the price of meat, as only a
few steamers have large refrigeration
space for dead meat.
The Board of Agriculture Is exercising
the utmost precaution. The steamer Sach
em, which arrived in the Mersey from
Boston yesterday with a cargo of cattle
and shoep, was not -allowed to discharge.
The animals were all .scrutinized by ex
perts, and no disease was found among
them, but they will all be re-examined
after an interval of 48 hours.
ENGLISH PORTS CLOSED.
Eniltargo on Cattle Shipments From"
New England States.
LONDON. Nov. 2S. The Board of Agri
culture has closed the ports of the United
Kingdom ag2lnst the importation of ani
mals from Maine, New Hampshire. Ver
min t, Massachusetts. Connecticut and
Rhode Island. The order take3 effect Jan
uary 5. Cargoes arriving in the meanwhile
will be the subject of special investiga
tion. MAY DODGE THE EMBARGO.
Cattle From West May Be Shipped
From Portland, Me.
BOSTON, Nov, 23. George Bray, agent
of the Leyland line, received a private
dispatch from Washington tonight saying
that after tomorrow cattle from the West
might be shipped through Portland,' Me..
if they could be got there -without passing
through the states prohibited by the order
of Secretary Wilson, which are Connecti
cut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New
Hampshire. "This can be done by using the
Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Quarantine Hits Liverpool.
LONDON, Nov. 28. The announcement
that the United States Department of Ag
riculture had given notice of the estab
lishment of a quarantine of cattle and
sheep in the New England States and
prohibited the exportation of such ani
mals from Boston until further orders
caused excitement In Liverpool. The
Mersey Dock Board receives a large reve
nue from the slaughter of Boston cnttlo.
Manager Lairages. of the board, says the
restrictions will have far-reaching conse
quence and that possibly the cargoes of
cattle now on their way to Liverpool from
Boston will be quarantined.
GAIN OF OIL AS FUEL.
May. Be the Solution of Smoke Prob
lem in Cities.
Brookln Eagle..
For two or three years oil-burning
steamers have been in operation along the
Pacific Coast, oil-burning locomotives
have been used on roads not controlled by
the coal owners, and In many factories In
all parts of the land oil has been used
MINISTER OF THE CITY
DR. JOSEPH
instead of "coal for heating. Now It is
said that the Kensington, of the 'Red Star
line, operating between Antwerp and New
York, Is to be a coal steamer no longer,
but will use oil as a fuel. This may be
the beginning of a reform that will last so
long as the oil supply continues, and, as
new wells are opened from time to1 time
in the South and West,, and as the'great
fields of Asia have been but little ex
ploited, that may be for many years.
Oil has advantages over coal. It Is
cheaper, as prices now average; there Is
almost no waste, the oil burning out en
tirely, and there being no loss in starting
and putting out a fire, since a mere turn
of a faucet and touch of a match starts
the flames roaring under the boiler, while
another turn of the cock puts them out in
an instant? tho passengers on trains and
boats are not troubled with soot and cin
ders, and such trains and boats can be
kept clean and in good condition; there is
no accumulation of ashes and clinkers to
dump Into rivers and harbors, to the grad
ual occlusion of channels; it Is easier to
use oil than coal, and cheaper, because
oil requires no force of firemen working:
half naked and half baked in the darkness
of a hold: oil guarantees economy of
space on the ship that uses It, for coal
Is a bulky fuel; and, lastly, oil la pro
duced without the employment of eo many
men who could Interfere with the produ
tion, as they are Interfering with tho an
thracite production by the strike.
In our cities something must be done to
end the smoke nuisance. Not only is it a
disfigurement and unpleasant to the smell,
not only does it create expense by its
soiling of clothes and house furnishings,
but 'it causes bronchial Irritation and eye
disease. Thousands of people hnve soot
thTown into their eyes by the elevated
trains of this borough every day, and It
Is poured over the just and the unjust
from the chimneys of power-houses, fac
tories and shops. The authorities have
given up trying to enforce the jaw, and it
Is said that a number of the lawbreakers
have found it so easy to evade the ordi
nance that they have openly told of their
intention to keep on doing as they do now
after the strike is, oyer. In Washington
coke Is used to advantage, even a mixture
of it with soft coal reducing the smoke
materially, but no attempt has been made
to buy coke in New York, so far as is
known, though it is made by the million
tons in Pennsylvania. The way out of
our difficulties that best commends itself
is not to burn coal in any form, but to
use the cheap and crude rock oil of Texas
and California as a fuel.
The Heavy Gun a Marvel.
Engineering Magazine.
If we go Into a modern battle-ship and
go over her, there are no places in her
which would so fill us with wonder and,
it may be added, a certain .amount of un
easinessas her engipe-room and her gun
turrets when In operation. In the latter,
if she. Is a large ship; she will carry 12
inch or 13-Inch guns, probably, and these,
weighing from 50 to CO tons about the
weight of a fair-sized locomotive will,
when they are fired, be projected to the
rear at a ratevof about 25 feet per second,
or say 17 miles an hour. By their hydraulic
recoil brakes, In which resistance to the
motion of a pi?ton in' a fluid-fill cd cylinder
is by means of a rod utilized to restrain
the gun's recoil, the gun will be stopped
In about 25 Inches, and will be returned to
Its firing position by a powerful colled
spring. So quick Is the stroke of recoil
and return that the eye falls to appreciate
it, and devices are used in gun turrets to
prevent the gun from being loaded twice
from a mistake on the part of the gunners
in supposing that the gun hail been fired
when it had not. Nothing, perhaps, give3
An idea of the immensity of the forces
In play so well as the snapping of a 50
ton weigSt to the rear find forward again
ro quickly that the human eye can hardly
see it. On land again we have the so
called disappearing mountings, on which
a gun is carried on a pair of long rocking
levers. Upon firing the gun of 50 or GO tons
In dropped behind a parapet, and upon
throwing a lever after the gun has been
loaded In Its lower position, the gun rises
above tfto parapet again, and is onc6 more
ready to be fired.

GREAT PREACHER DEAD
DR. JOSEPH . PARKER BREATHES
HIS LAST IN LONDON.
Slan Who Made Many Innovations
and Did Not Scorn Politics in
the Pnlpit.
LONDON, Nov. 23. Dr. Joseph Parker,
minister of the City Temple, who has
been seriously ill for some time past, died
at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Dr. Parker's end came peacefully. He
had been in extremis for several days
past, and had taken' no nourishment
since Wednesday. He rallied on Thursr
day night, giving the doctors hope that
he might live for a few days longer. He
retained consciousness to the last. A
simple white card, without a black bor
der, hangs on the door of his residence
at Hamstead, Inscribed:
"At 5 P. M. Dr. Parker ascended."
Dr. Parker suffered from a complica
tion of complaints, the most serious of
which affected his heart, and was tho
immediate cause of death. He had been
afflicted with Insomnia, not having en
joyed a -natural sleep for six weeks. 'His
amazing vitality and strength of consti
tution led his friends to hope for his re
covery, and he himself abandoned hopo

only a few days ago. He took no fare
wells, as he was unable to talk much
during the past three days. He asked for
a piece of paper, and tried to write, but
the. words were illegible. During his last
hours he took evident pleasure in the
singing of , hymns by those around his
bedside.
(Dr. Joseph Parker has. been one of tho
most famous Congregational preachers
,in London for the last 25 years. He had
already won fame before ho built the City
Temple, on Holborp Viaduct, one of tho
handsomest nonconformist churches In
England. Ho made several innovations
on the customary methods of arranging
churches and conducting services. His
church has the seats arranged in semi
circular form, as in a theater, and each
row is raised above the one before. Ho
spoke from a platform, instead of a pul
pit, and walked to and fro as he deliv
ered nis sermons.
Dr. Parker gained fame largely by the
boldness with which he discussed public
questions In his church. He wub most
scathing In his denunciation of Beacons
field's pro-Turkish policy during the Rus-so-Turkish
war of 1877-8, and his sermons
could often have been more fitly termed
political orations. He staggered the
gtralght-laced by encoura'ging expressions
Of approval or dissent from his hearers,
and his congregation often gave vent to
bursts of applause.
In person Dr. Parker would almost
have passed for a typical John Bull. Of
middle height, he was broad and stocky
in figure, and had a massive head, plenti
fully covered with curly, gray hair. He
did not scorn a timely jest in his sermons
and often provoked his hearers to mirth
He was second only to Charles H. Spur
creon. the great Baptist preacher of Lon
don, and came into prominence about the
time of the latter's death.
Joseph Parker, the noted English cler
gyman, was born In Hexham, England
Aorll 9. 1S30, the son of a stonecutter.
Like Spurgeon, he began to preach in
early youth. was ordained pastor of

COBDEN CLUB'S WAR CRY.
It Is Raised for Liberal Leaders and
Apralnst Sugrnr Bounty.
LONDON, Nov. 28. The annual banquet
of the Cobden Club, which was held last
evening, resolved Itself In a demonstra
tlon for the Liberal leaders, Lord Spencer,
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and oth
ers, against the government's protection
1st tendencies in general and the sugar
convention In particular.
This sounding anew of the Liberal war-
cry, "free trade," has provoked much
newspaper comment. Sir Henry. Camp
bell-Bannerman declared that the Liberal
party would oppose by every means In
Its power the bills relating to the sugar
convention.
. A Conservative paper this morning
prints that out of the 457 members of the
Cobden Club, 212 are foreigners residing
abroad, while of the remainder many are
foreigners residing hdre, and. .therefore,
the club is in no way representative of
Eritlsh opinion.
ASSAILS THE KAISER.
Vorwaerts Condemns His Speech on
Its Attn cits on Krupp.
BERLIN, Nov. 28. Vorwaerts, com
menting on Emperor's William's speech
on the day of the funeral of Herr Krupp
at Essen, says:
"While prosecution Is still pending
against us. and the truth Is not judicially
yet ascertained, the Emperor anticipates
the court's findings by pronouncing our
guilt: out ol uueu. ii is anowea inai me
crown at the Initiatory stage of a pendln
case utter a verdict and thereby place th
judges in. the painful dilemma of either
contradicting his majesty or subjecting
themselves to the suspicion that their
judgment was influenced by him. Justice
stands above everybody, even above the
Emperor, and the freedom of the courts
i3 the life and nerve of every state.'
The paper adds:
"The monarchy is constitutionally lrre
sponsible. An adequate answer to the
Emperor's speech is prevented tnrougn
the lcse-majeste parapraphs."
The vorwaerts In two columns rcamrms
in moderate language the truth of Its
original charses against the late Herr
Krupp, and alleges that the evidence
rests on the testimony of persons quite
above party association, personal Interest
or political hate.
TARIFF WAR SETTLED.
But German Socialists Renew Their
Violent Protest.
BERLIN. Nov. 28. The compromise on
the tariff bill, said to have been agreed
upon November 25 at a conference held
between Chancellor von Buiow ana tne
leaders of the majority party in the
Reichstag, is, according to the Germania.
generally accepted as correct, and is as
follows:. .
The minimum duty on malting barley
Is raisrd to Jl; the minimum duty on cat
tle and meat Is abandoned under condi
tions to be hereafter announced, and
certain duties on manufactures are re
duced. The motion of tho members of
the Center party applying the surplus
derived from the duties on foodstuffs to
the Insurance fund for widows -and or
phans, and the abolition of the urban
octroi duties were agreed to. Apart from
these, the most noteworthy point Is that
the. increases in duties decided on by the
tariff committee nhall be the basis of the
next general tariff.
' CHINA RUNNING BEHIND.
Decline in Silver and Official Corrnp-
ti'on Cnn.ie Alarm.
LONDON, Nov. 29. The Times publishes
a dispatch from Its Pckin correspondent
dealing with the differences which have
arisen In consequence of the decline In
sliver. The correspondent says there Is
no reaFon to fear that China will fail to
meet her engagements, but a discouraging
feature in the situation is that no effect
ive attempt has yet been made to Intro
duce any kind of financial reform any
where In the empire, while, if anything,
corruption is on the increase. For In
stance, the Pekln octroi, under the purer
administration of Prince Su, yielded tho
government 700,000 taels net revenue
against 150,000 taels previously obtained.
At the present rate of silver, adds the
correspondent, China will require to pro
vide an additional 3,500,000 taels for the
next Installment of the Indemnity, due in
January.

Making: Honey Puffs.
, New York Times.
In a little house In an obscure street
over oh the western edge of the downtown
Italian quarter is the only place In town
where is made that rather odd German
confection: called the "honey puff." Two
men make It and two or three girls put
up the confection in papers and boxes for
shipment. Passers-by may look In at the
open door and see the confection made.
Doubtless honey was once an Ingredient of
the puff, but now it Is made of partly re
fined cane sugar, verys mooth and almost
pure white.. The sugar Is boiled In great
kettles over an open furnace of no very
large size. When the boiling has continued
long enough, the kettle Is lifted from the
furnace and the liquid sugar Is stirred with
a stick, all .the while giving off a most de
licious odor, until the mass has attained
a consistency suitable to the next process.
The thickening mass Is then poured out on
a long, low table with a marble surface
and quickly spread all over it to a thick
ness of about an inch and a quarter. A
man with a knife-edged wheel then cuts
tho pastry otuff Into rectangular pieces
about two and a half Inches wide. It is
yellow In color and very light In weight.
Double rows of these pieces are then
taken to a table, where they are complete
ly separated by the girls, wrapped singly
in parafflne paper, and put up in paste
board boxes of two sizes, holding, res
pectively 24 and 38 plecca In these boxes
tho confection is shipped to retailers In
this city, Philadelphia. Boston and else
where. The honey puffs retail at a cent
apiece. So popular has the confection be
come that tho little factory 13 kept busy
all day and every day, and can barely
keep up with orders. The stuff Is really
a sort of glorified molasses candy and not
more unwholesome than other simple
sweets. The manufacturers have not yet
been long enough In the business to have
resorted to adulteration, and they have
no rivals to undersell them.
Ticklishness.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Why Is It that one person Is ticklish
and another Isn't?" asked a man who Is
fond of the unusual thing. "I have often
wondered why men were differently con
stituted in this way, and have never seen
any satisfactory answer up to this time.
Some men cannot stand to bo touched In
the side. Others cannot stand to he
touchetl on the knees. They 'steal sugar,
according to tho nursery legend, and will
simply have a fit if you scrape the ends
of your, fingers over their knees. The
bottom of the foot and the palm of the
hand are tender places with other people.
On the other hand, there aro men who are
not at all ticklish. I have seen tests made
with straws about l':e ears and neck wlth
out any sort of disturbance. The subjects,
too; were reasonably sensitive. I cannot
Bay that they were not thin-cklnned to
some extent, for I know many of" them
were. But they wer not ticklish. At? a
rule the man whose skin Is thin la the
ticklish man, but there are the usual ex,
ceptlons to' this rule. I suppose it is a
matter involving the nervous constitution,
and If persons arc unusually tickll3h I
guers It is due to the fact that tho sense
of touch Is more keenly developed nt tho
particular parts 'of the body which are
peculiarly sensitive. I can account for tho
vast difference in persons in this respect
in no other way. It Is simply a question
of a highly developedsense of touch."
"I'm so glad tho boysjof your company pave
you that handsome revolver." said the wife
of the mllltla captain. "We need have no
fear of the burglars who Infest the neighbor
hood now." "That's so," replied the captain.

FIRE SWEEPS UNCHECKED
RAT PORTAGE LUMBER DISTRICT IS
BURNED.
Sparks Fly to Docks and Set Steam
ers Aultize A Dosien Buildings
Destroyed. .
RAT PORTAGE, Ont., Nov, 28. One of
the worst fires that ever visited the Rat
Portage lumber district started at Nor
man, near here, this afternoon, and
spread swiftly through Immense piles of
lumber to the docks, and from the docks
to boats, until stopped in that direction
by the water's edge. Dense showers of
sparks were carried inland toward the
residence section of tho city, and one by
one tlfo houses went up In flames. When
this' dispatch was sent the Are wag still
burning.
Twenty-five million feet of lumber was
destroyed, as well as Lemay's shipyard,
six steamboats, two barges, 11 dwellings
and' one stable. The steamers destroyed
were small craft.
A number of wooden structures In the
path of the fire were destroyed, and at 9
o'clock tonight the progress of the flames
was checked.
A dozen houses and barns were de
stroyed. The lumber-yards are great
masses of embers, but there appears to bo
no fear of a further spread of the fire.
No accurate estimate of the loss can be
secured tonight.
South Dakota Village Burns.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Nov. 23. Fire
which broke out In the business part of
the town of Rockford early today soon
enveloped tne only ausinesa street ot me
town. At 2 P. M. one-half of the village
had been burned over. The loss will be
heavy and the insurance small.
Rudencqs Never Justifiable,
New York News.
It sometimes seema as If there were a
growing Impression In this land to the ef
fect that good breeding is proved by rude
ness rather than bv courtesy. If there is
such an idea in the heads of any consid
erable number of people, it is erroneous,
and they will save themselves trouble by
having It removed, by a surgical operation
if necessary. Ve hear, for example, of
someoouy oi no particular antecedents
wno naa sain an impertinent tning. anu i
the comment Is made, "3o absurd for so- i
and-so to put on such 'airs! Why, the!
family was nothing at all at snich-and-such 1
a time." This Implies thot If so-and-so
had belonged to a certain Tslass, the Imper
tinence would have been perfectly justi
fiable. Again, we find people who are accident
ally raised Into positions of prominence
using their eminence to aay and do rude
things, apparently under the impression !
that they have now a right to do things
whlrVh thv pouln not nroriArlv on In a mn
humble position, and which they would
resent from any one whom they consider (
their Inferiors. In short! hey consider i
that they have a right to be rude to those
less fortunate than they, while the latter ,
have no right to he rude in return. It is l
easy to fee where a few generations of .
this theory would lead us. Everybody in
a higher social grade would be buny hunt
ing for inferiors to whom It was safe to I
be Insolent. This social theory is obvi- j
ously so silly that it sesms strange that i

to be courteous, even to the poorest, and
