A Rumor of Hog Cholera Causes Mexico
to Quarantine Against It-
JEFFERSON CiTT, Mo., Jan. 27. Gover
nor Francis has received information from
Secretary Blaine that a dispatch had been
sent by Minister Ryan in Mexico, report
ing stringent action on the part of the
Mexican government based on an official
allegation of the prevalence of hog cholera
in Kansas. The dispatch from Minister
Ryan is as follows:
Legation- of the United States, Mex
ico. January 14, 1S90. To the Hon. James
G. Blaine, Secretary of State: Sir I have
the honor to forward herewith for the in
formation of the department the official
communications of the Mexican govern
ment as published in the Diario Official of
the 27th ult., iroin which it appears that
the Mexican minister at "Washington
cabled his government on the 12th ult.
that the Mexican consul in Kansas recom
mended a vigorous quarantine on the
frontier, as hog cholera existed in Kansas
hogs, and that thereupon the Mexican gov
ernment instructed the governors respect
ively of the several Mexican states bor
dering upon the Uhited States to take
steps for the thorough examination of the
imported hogs along the ways of commerce
between the United States and their states.
I am advised by the United States consul
at Piedras Jfegras that thiB quarantine
has been put into operation and that the
first lot of hogs to arrive from the United
State" after this order was issued came on
the Cth inst., consisting ten cars, 6J2 hogs,
and that the jefe politico, accompanied by
a doctor, inspected the hogs on the cars
and permitted them to proceed to the City
of Mexico, after collecting an inspection
fee of 400.
I am informed that Americans here in
terested in this commerce protest that the
report of the Mexican consul at Kausas
City (not Kansas where there 13 no con
sul,) upon which the foregoing action of
this government is based, is wholly
foundatiouless, and thnt the consul was
moved to make such leport by improper
motives, but this legation has no informa
tion lelative thereto that would warrant
jne in drawing the attention of the Mexi
can government to the matter. I am, sir,
very respectiuliy, your obedient set van t.
Thos. Ryan.
THE WHISKY TRUST WILL CHANGE.
CniCAGO, III., Jau. 27. The great whisky
trust of the United States is now con
trolled by five trustees electtd by the
"Certificate holders." P. J. Hennessey,
secretary of the Chicago Distilling com
pany, is one of these trustees. Regarding
the intention of the trust to incorporate
under the laws of Illinois as one great
company in order to escape the penalties
of anti-trust legislation Mr. Hennessey
said: "A meeting has been called of the
certificate holdeis ior March 11, at Peoria,
to consider the advisability of changing
the present organization into a corpora
tion." "What is the reason for the pioposed
change?"
"Trusts have become unpopular. Our
plans and purposes are to be altered in no
other way. We will simply organize as
a corporation and issue certificates of
stock in place of the present trust certifi
cates." "The anti-trust legislation of some
states, Missouri for instance, also has
somethiug to do with it, has it not?"
"We have not been bothered by any of
this anti-trust legislation up to the present
time. A number of Missouri distilleries
are in the trust and the Missouri law has
not interfered with them."
"What proportion of the distilleries of
the country is now in the trust?"
"A large pioportion. It includes nearly
all the distilleries notth of the Ohio river.
The straight bourbon distilleries, as they
are called, of Kentucky, are not in the
trust. We have some across the river from
Cincinnati in Kentucky, however.

Sr-ecial Dlsp&tch to th Daily Eagle,
Coldwater, Kan., Jan. 27. Last night
about 6 o'clock the town was thrown into
excitement over a tragedy that occurred
between Dr. J. E. Sombart and Dudley
Murphey, both prominent and well known
citizens. As Mr. Murphey left Lockwood's
drug store, which is opposite Sombart's
drug store, he started for home. As he
was about half way across the street Dr.
Sombart, who was standing in front of his
store, leveled a double-barreled shot gun
loaded with large buck shot, on'Murphey,
bringing him to the earth, causing instant
death. After firing the first shots he
reloaded his gun and fired at his victim
again; then taking his revolver from his
pochet fired three more shots. The two
men were abont seventy-five feet apart.
After Sombart fired the last shot he
stepped into his store, where he remained
for about two hours. The citizens became
impatient for him to bo lodged in jail, and
threatened violence if it was not done at
once. Murphey had no weapons of any
sort on his person when the tragedy hap
pened. He had a paper sack of rice that
he was takiug home.
While there are many rumors as to the
cause of the shooting, it is generally said
that there was a woman in the case. The
murderer is supposed to have originated
the trouble. Murphey has been in King
fisher, Ok., during the summer, haying,
returned about three weeks ago. Sombart
now languishes in the county jail. He
says there are two sides to the case. Mur
phey has been our city marshal over two
years.

EUBOPEAN GOSSIP.
Some Remarks on Eev. Dr. Talmage's Peel
ings in the Holy Land Items.
New York, Jan. 27. A London corres
pondent cables the following gossip from
the old world:
To judge from interviews with the Rev.
Dr. Talmage in the London newspapers,
ho must hnve had a regular St. Vitus
dance through the Holy Land. Every
thing he touched thrilled him.
In Jerusalem and at Bethany conflicting
emotions pursued each other in his senti
mental quarter to the point of nervous ex
haustion, and when he attempted to read
the bible story of the crucifixion on the
spot whera he was sure the cioss stood, his
feelings overcame him entirely, and he
broke down, recovering snlliciently, subse
quently, to purloin a corner stone from
Golgotha for the now Brooklyn tabernacle,
and load it on a camel. Dr. aud Mrs. Tal
mage sailed on the Aurania for New York.
He has entirely recovered from his attack
of influenza, and at present is suffering
from nothing worse than seasickness. His
daughter remains with friends at Nice.
James McDermott is temporarily living
at the Hotel Victoria under the name of a
chevalier. He wears a big fur overcoat
and looks as if he were at peace with the
world. His business here is with La
boucbere, -with whom he has had one or
two interviews this week. He declines to
tell the nature of his business, but hints
that it has something to do with the
movement Labonchere contemplates mak
ing in parliament. McDermott is
much changed, by his varied wander
ings over the face of the earth since he left
Brooklyn. His hair and moustache ate
almost perfectly white, but ha otherwise
bharwa no trace of age. He told me that he
had been the most loully wronged man on
earth, but that the time was almost ripe
for his complete vindication and the dis
comfiture of his enemies. He asserts that
he knows of his own knowledge that the
land league funds in America aro f 50,000
short.
Dr. Furnivnl, the founder of the Brown
ing society, is not Browning, Eiq., himself
as the following note to the editor of Scots'
Observer indicates:
"Sir I have received your absurd carica
ture of me. What a furiously and per
vertedly mean souled cad the writer must
be. He attributes all his own low motives
to me. Send him up to Barnum's as the
champion skunk of Scotlana. "
Percy W. Tilgman, formerly consular
clerk of the United States at Berlin, has
been getting himself disliked by reason of
the habit he has got into of signing other
persons' names to checks and negotiating
the same. Since he left Berlin Tilgman
has been clerk to a consulate at Bristol,
but he is at present a fugitive.
Buffalo Bill and his lid est show ar- i
rived in Naples today, crossing the Medi
terranean in a violent storm from Barce
lona, but arriving with the men and ani
mals in good condition.
Secretary Tracy's scheme for making a
navy for the United States Is attracting a
good deal of attention here and was refer
red to by Mr. Gladstono in
his great speech at Cheater. The
grand old man seemed to be
rather grieved that America should com
mence to copy the old world's bloated arm
aments, but the general opinion is that a
powerful United states navy would be
better for the world iu general and Eng
land in particular. The admiralty are
very busy just now. Br 1591 the present
government will have added to the British
navy twenty-one ironclads, twenty-one
protected cruisers and fifty-six other ves
sels of war, and by 1S94, eight additional
battle ships, forty-two protected cruis
ers and eighteen smaller vessels
will have beeu completed. The chief
and abiding cause of anxiety is that the
manufacture ot guns and supply of stores
do not keep pace with the ever-growing
needs of the royal navy.
There is reason to believe that the
ancient dispute betweeu England and
Franco in regard tj the French fi-hing
rights in Newtoundland will be settled in
the course of the present year by England
buying out the Frenchmen. France has
intimated her v.illingtie3 to sell, so that
the quest on will soon become one of
terms. If a price cannot be fixed Lord
Salisbury will likeiy screw himself up to
tha point of repudiating the treaty of 173.
WANTS HOG RATES REDUCED.
CHICAGO. I1L, Jan. 27. The merchants
freight bureau of the Chicago board of
trade has made demand on the south
western Missouri river roads for a reduc
tion in ratrs on boss from Kansas City to
Chicago to correspond with the cut in cat
tle rates. The rate on cattle is now 12

IS cent. The threat is m ide by the pack
msr mteres-that if a proportionate reduc
tion is nf.t made iu the hog rat; complaint
will be ri.ed with the interstate commerce
commerce commission, charging the roads
with discriminating.

tion cases before adopting a new code of
rules, it being generally agreed that more
progress could be made with the cases
without, than with rules. The discussiou
then turned upon the possibility of secur
ing and maintaining a quorum to meet
the Democratic opposition which would
doubtless take the form of refusing to vote.
This discussion was taken to indicate that
the speaker will not as heretofore count as
present those not voting. It was finally
determined that at last four members
could not be relied upon to answer to their
names ir the Democrats came to the con
clusion to filibuster. Three of these mem
bers are absent on account of sickness and
one is absent without letting his wtiere
abouts be known. If no member fall ill or
is called away the majority will have a
bare qnorom. But nevertheless the elec
tion case of Smith vs. Jackson will
bo called up Wednesday and
fully debated to lay the
foundation for the speedy depot ism of the
other contests and to gain time iu which
to secure the attendance of absent mem
bers. A resolution was adopted pledging Re
publicans to remain in the city and in rep
resentative hall during the session of the
house. There was some show of opposition
to the proposed (.changes in rules which
tend to stop filibustering of Mr. Anderson,
of Kansas, and Mr. Cheadle, ot Indiana.
Mr. Cheadle, however, sigmfying his in
tention to fall in line with his party and
there are indications that Mr. Andersob
will do likewise.

sented the resolutions adopted at a mass
meeting held recently in Treniont Temple,
on the subject of the cruel deprivation of
colored people of the right to take part in
elections in some of tho southern states,
read the substanco of them and hud them
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections.
Among the bills reported were tho fol
lowing: To increase the limit of cost for

Mr. Cockrell introduced a bill to repeal
the silver coinage bill of February 2S,
1573, and to require the coinage of ,000,
000 a month in standard silver dollars.
Mr. Cockrell respectfully requested the
finance committee, to which the bill was
referred, to take immediate action upon it.
and to report it back to the senate lor its
action.
The bill heretofore passed by the senate
for a bridge across the Missouri river in

aud on motion of Mr. Fre was
amended by providing that the bridge
shall not be located within one-third of a
mile of any ex. sting bridge and tne bill
was again passed.
The resolution heretofore offered by Mr.
Chandler CHlliug upon the attorney gen
eral for the repoit of the United States
marshal for the northern district of Mi
sissippi concerning the maltreatment of
Henry J. Faunce at Aberdeen, Mis.. was
taken up for consideration. Mr. Walthall
addressed the enate.
Mr. Walthall replied to Senator IngalK'
speech of last Thursday. Regarding the
hanging in effigy of Secretary Proctor at
Aberdeen, he feit justified in saying that
that was the act of a few persons only, not
the net of a community. The feutim!it
of the people of Mississippi and the entire
south was condemnatory of the outrage.
Passing to the race question, he agreed
with Mr. Ingalls that it was ihr rnoit for
midable question ever presented to a free
people for dotution. He did not see how
the evils of the situation con id be miti
gated tjy congress since natural laws could
not be reversed by legislation. liie

thnt the government and authorities of

that the citizens of the state of Kan.s

Mr. George challenged the senator from
Kausas or any otnur senator on the Repub
lican side to put his finger on that clause
of the constitution which authorized the
federal government, in any of its branches,
to punish or takt jurisdiction of crimes
committed within a state and not. against
the laws of the L nited States.
Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, in tvtponse to Mr.
George's challenge referred him to section
2 article 4 of the constitution in thrM
words: "The citizens of each state ahall
be entitled to all the privileges and immu
nities of citizens of the s-vera I slates."
Mr. Reagan condemned the outrage' nt
Aberdeen, but denied tho rtght or the
government of the United States to take
jurisdiction of it.
The resolution went over without ac
