CATTLE OF TWO STATES. PUT UNDER BAe Quarantine Is Established Against | Live Stock of New York and Pennsylvania. DISEASE SPREADING FAST Foot and Mouth Affliction Is Causing | Grave Concern and Officials Are Active. Washington, D. C.—A strict quaran- | fime was laid upon the live stock In dustry of the States of Pennsylvania amd New York by the Department of Agriculture, and until the embargo is Efted not a head of cattle, sheep or Bogs can be shipped out of either State. This acticn was taken to check an epidemic of foot and mouth disease hat has made its appearance in Penn- sylvania and has spread across the Kme into New York. Forty inspec- ®ors of the Department of Agricul- fare have been rushed into the field #0 fight the epidemic and 25 more are ready to start in the morning. Every effort will be made by the Federal @overnment ‘to suppress this out- Break of the most contagious disease fio which live stock is subject. Tuesday, November 9, the first re- port of the disease reached the De- partment of Agriculture and an in- westigation showed cases in Montour, Northumberland, Union and Columbia oounties. These four counties were quickly quarantined, but efforts to eheck the disease proved futile and it spread to Snyder and Lehigh counties. | The far-reaching effects of the quarantine are understood when it is Enown that not only is the shipment of cattle from the quarantine States prohibited, but the shipment of cattle through these States is not permit- ted except in sealed cars which can- * mot be opened inside the State lines except at cleaned and disinfected pens designated by the Department of Agriculture. This interferes with the loading of eattle at seaports for shipment abroad. From the ports of Philadel- phia and New York there are export- ed an average of 800 head of cattle per day, which shipments will be practically stopped so long as the quarantine remains in effect. This is the first outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in this coun- try in 16 years. an epidemic, which was finally sup- pressed; kas made its appearance North American continent. So great is the interest of the De- partment of Agriculture in the mat- fer that it has detailed its most ex- perienced men to Pennsylvania and Wew York, and every one who has knowledge of the disease and who #ook part in wiping out the epidemic of 1892 has been hurried into the field. All that money and science ean do will be done by the Govern- ment to make this experience a short ane. NO GUARANTEE ABOUT IT Firms Have No Right to Fall Back on Uncle Sam.

London.—Here is exactly what Em- peror William is reported to have said on world politics to Dr. William Hale, the distinguished clergyman, traveler and writer, on board the im- perial yacht Hohenzollern, at Bergen, Norway, on July 19. Dr. Hale was seeking an article for the Century Magazine, which ar- ticle, in view of the uprising creat- ed throughout Germany. by an inter- view subsequently given by the em- peror to a diplomatist for the London Daily Telegraph, has been suppressed at the request of the German govern- ment. | The emperor talked to Dr. Hale for several hours. He was bitter against and full of “the yellow | peril.” He declared England a traitor | to the white man’s cause. He pre- dicted that she would ultimately lose | some of her colonies through her | treaty with Japan. | Says Japan Is Agitating Trouble. The invitation to the American fleet of battleships to visit New Zeal- and and Australia was intended, he said, to serve notice on England that those colonies are with the white men, and not with the renegade moth- er country. The British colonies would show by the ardor of their re- ception that they understand the sit- uation. : The emperor declared that Japan | is even now fomenting insurrection in India. This insurrecticn might break | out within six months. Germany and | the United States will, however, find | a solution of the Eastern question, | but there is a complete understanding between Emperor William and Presi- | dent Roosevelt on this point, accord- ing to the interview. They intend | to divide the East against itself by | becoming the recognized friends of | China. Negotiations have been pro- | gressing favorably tor months. | 7 A very high Chinese official, the | emperor is reported to have said, | would soon visit America and Ger- many.

In the talk, the emperor expressed sympathy with Russia, remarking how different the result would have been if the burden of carrying the white man’s standard | had been placed by Providence upon | his invincible battalions. If Japam be suffered now to get control of China, he said, Europe will suffer at- tacks. The emperor England, | | is keeping friends | with the Mohammedan world, accord- | ing to the reports, and is even sup- plying them with rifles, because they | are devils in fight, and stand there | between the East and the West, where | they can break the first force of at- | tack. | Emperor William is made to say | that he believed America weculd be | forced to fight Japan within 10 years.

ROCKEFELLER ON WITNESS STAND Qil King Cheerfully Recounts the Early Days of the Standard. GROWTH OF THE STANDARD Mr. Rockefeller’s Testimony Indi- cates the Line of Defense That Will Be Produced. New York.—Relating his story ‘with the air of a country gentleman engag- ing a host of friends with incidents of days long past, John D. Rocke- feller, president of the Standard Oil Company, for more than two hours reviewed the history of the early oil trade and the development of the first companies that later grew into the present so-called oil trust. Mr. Rockefeller was a witness for the de- fense in the suit to dissolve the Stand- ard which is being prosecuted by the United States government. The head of the big oil combine was surrounded by an imposing circle of counsel. Mr. Rockefeller appear- ed at complete ease, and when John G. Milburn of counsel for the Stand- ard propounded his first question the witness spoke out in full tones as if he desired the most distant spectator in the chamber to hear. Then in a manner that indicated a pleasure at what he was about to tell Mr. Rock- efeller spoke of his start in the oil business and how, under adverse con- ditions, that business grew to the proportions of the Standard Oil Com- pany of Ohio, with its capitalization ‘of $1,000,000. Smiles at Recollections. Mr. Rockefeller’s eyes sparkled in reflection on that early financial or- ganization and, speaking of its mill- ion-dollar capitalization with almost boyish enthusiasm, he said: “It seemed very large to us, who began with only $4,000 in 1862.” The proceedings lost, in a sense, their official aspect because of the engaging manner which Mr. Rocke- feller displayed in his answers. A glow of health showed in Mr. Rocke- feller’s smooth-shaven face and, to inquiring newspaper men, he replied that he never felt better. The development of Mr. Rockefel- explosion and the boat | ler’'s testimoney, which carried him 0il Company of Ohio, indicated that one of the lines of the defense will be that the Standard company is not the result of an aggressive policy to ob- tain a mastery of the oil trade, as charged, but rather the outcome of an economical development which the | exigencies of the oil industry demand- ed. | While under cross-examination Mr. | Rockefeller was questicned closely re- | garding rebates which the Standard | was charged with receiving, but with | the exception of the agreement with | the Pennsylvania railroad, which Mr. Rockefeller explained gave the Stand- are a rebate because it effected an | equalizaticn of oil shipments, Mr. | Rockefeller could not recall any other | rebates, though he thought it was like- |ly that he might have heard of it at | the time.

Berlin.—Forced by the angry tide of popular feeling that swept the em- pire from end to end, Emperor Will- iam yielded to the nation and prom- ised henceforth to conform himself to constitutional methods of conduct- ing the policies of Germany. The climax to the public utter- ances of the emperor was reached in an interview which he gave to an Englishman and which was published in the London Daily Telegraph on October 28. As the outcome of this, the whole country was aroused; the reichstag indorsed the attitude of many of its prominent members when it denounced the sovereign and Chan- cellor von Buelow, while he attempt ed to smooth away the affair, under- took to communicate to his majesty a straightforward and unvarnished statement of how the German people viewed his intervention in affairs of state.

ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE GUARDS Overseer Saw Flames and Suspected That Fire Was Not of Acci- dental Origin. Birmingham, Ala.—Fifty State con- victs employed in the mines at Pratt City formed a conspiracy to set No. 3 mine afire and escape during the confusion, and as a result eight con- victs were’ burned to death, one is missing and the other 41 are safely locked in the stockade. Right bodies were taken out. The coup was cunningly planned and daringly executed. A lot of timber lying in the manway was 18- nited and the convicts hoped that when attention had been attracted to the flames they could make their way through the mine and escape by the main entry. They had hoped to be able to make their way along the mine ahead of the smoke and fumes from the fire. In tbis way they miscalculated, for at least eight were suffocated. The others appeared to be meeting with success when the mine officials | suspected something. One overseer saw the flames burst out so suddenly and in such volume that he was sure some kindling had been used in start- ing them. Making his way to the outside, he informed others and guards were at once placed at the shaft. The men were caught as they came | from the main entry. Rescue work was then begun, for in addition to the convicts there were a number of | free laborers in the mines. POPE’S JUBILEE Pius X Celebrates Fiftieth Anniver- sary of His Ordination.
