New York, Nov. 29.-In order that the danger of infection from the hoof and mouth disease now reported to be preva- lent among the cattle in Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, may not spread in this city and state, Dr. Ernst J. Ledelee, president of the De- partment of Health, is taking precau- tions. However, most of the meat used here comes from the western stock yards and the milk from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Veterinary in- spectors have been stationed in New! York, Kings, Queens and Richmond counties. They have orders to use the strictest measures to keep out any cat- tle which may show any signs of the dis- ease. nounced all right. ers which will sail to-day. dian exporters, steamer.

The Discase, According to the bacterlologists of the city health department, the disease is new to this country, but is well known in Hurope, especially in Belgium. The mortality from it is not high, but it is extremely contagious. It is due largely to the heat from organic matter, and it _ attacks the hind hoofs first, where the Animals stand in their stalls. The dis- ease is transmitted tq the mouth when tHe animal licks his feet, and is thus called the hoof and mouth disease, The germs of the poison enter the blood through the stomach, much the same as those of diphtheria do-the temperature is elevated, and fever sets in. This, of course, affects the milk of the cow, and will naturally injure those who drink it. A Dutch cow brought pleuro-pneumonia Into this country in 1841. It was called the cow distemper, and the government lost, from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 worth of cattle in a year, but finally stamped it out. Destruction of the infected animals is said to be the only way to check it. order yesterday directing that on ac- count of the prevalence of foot Isiazhd, Connecticut and Vermont, ruminating animals or swine shall be the states named until the order is re- voked. The action is precautionary, as the board knows of no case of the disease in New Hampshire. Canadian Quarantine Established.

Albany, Nov. 29.-Gov. (dell proposes to have a 1,000-ton barge canal and yet energetic means to follow out the lines of the Republican platform as regards canal improvements and will commit himself to a barge canal as requested by canal advocates in the State, but it may be\ said on excellent authority that' the governor is of the opinion that every advantage claimed for an $80,000,000 barge canal can be fully obtained at an ex- penditure not to exceed fifty-five or sixty millions of dollars, a saving to the State of at least twenty million. / Fayors the Lake Route. In other words the governor is in favor, it is said, of what is known as the lake route, which State Engineer and: Surveyor Bond, after most exhaus- tive investigation, decides can be built for $52,198,756, making a total when the other two canals are improved of about $60,000,000. 4 ) The route of the canal under this plan will be about as follows: From Water- ford to Cohoes by the old canal, then through the Mohawk river to Rexford Fats and Little Falls, recrossing the New York Central Railroad four miles east of Genesee street, Utica, running north of Utica and recrossing the New York Central Rallroag about two miles west of Oriskany, passing of Rome to Fort Bull and thence down Wood creek to Onelda lake, going nineteen and one-half miles in deep water through Onelda lake, following the Oneida river with the exception of two large bends west of Brewerton to Three River Point, thence down the Oswego river to Lake Ontario, then by way of the lake in deep water to Olcott, a distance of 112 miles, thence by a new canal eighteen miles to a junction with the old canal [ which 100 -head«of badly. inifected ateers n Stopped | and cows were.dipped lgfiigahsflu or.\ </ C 'After seven days,; during: which there | far were Tour days rail, buily about.due'per- [ cent. bf the the &nt. ; | mals & effect of forging some, txbuyers at the local stock yards cout of the market for the present.

In and it is contemplated the plan suggénted by the governdr is adopted, that Rochester shall have direct com- munication with the new foute. _ During discussion of the mutter it has been suggested that the old canal be kept Intact for traffic from these smaller places and from Rochester, so that they may not be cut off entirely from the benefits which may accrue from a barge canal. Advantages Claimed for Lake Route. There are also several advantages claimed for the lake route, one of which Is particularly in the savipg of time. The round trip between Troy and Buffalo for a \barge and consort will consume 182 hours, or for a propeller towing five bargen #44 hours. On the inland route for the saimne kind of a trip there will be consumed 217 hours and $58 hours, re- spectively. This is a gain of thirty-five hours for a barge and consort and a gain of forty houra for the propeller and five barges In favor of the lake route while, as the governor views It, the item of annual maintenahce will be practically nothing for the 195 miles of open water nativation, and this, therefore, should be a great factor in the selection of that route. 'The number of locks on the lake route is also less by seven than those on the inland route and this also mean» a saving of tims in naviration OnveI the Objections, One of the objections rais#d to the lake route is the fact that barges of stronger build will be : y on Lake Ontario than on the fnlend route, but the gov- ernor believes that when 1,000-ton barges are to be built they will\ be of suf- ficient strength to overcorrn« that objec- tion. The other objection i* the-Incon- venience of depriving present shippers of a canal line from Ciyde to Rochester, but if the portion of the Jt would not prova l an expetulve Item Of maintenance, as only the five lock® at Lockport would need to be manned. . as. dose her ports to all out wht 6 6 < na 6s , They would look at ix '_Wwe‘ am taff igresament, which was save the State $20,000,000.

Chicago, Nov, 29,-The police are inves- tigating the death of a young woman sald to be Miss Laura L. Pattee of Springfield, Ill., In the Grand Pacific Hotel In company with a man she came to the hotel Thanksgiving day. They were registered under the names of \ C. J. O'Donnell and wife, Duluth, Minn.\ ' Early this morning the man sent word to the office of the hotel that a doctor was needed in their room at once, as the woman with him was dying. Dr. Stringfield, the house physician, hurried to the room, and upon his arrival found the woman just breathing her last. There were no marks of violence upon her body and appearances go to prove the story of the man that she died from heart disease. 5 The man, however, was taken into custody. He'declared the O'Donnell was his name and at first refused to give the name of the young woman. Later he said that she was Miss Laura J. Pattee of Springfield, Ill.

The value of the tuael was then fixed at 3s. To-day it is worth only 2s. 4%d. The correspondent says that no ef- fective attempt has yet been made to se- cure fiscal reforms, and corruption is, if anything, increasing. The Peking oc- trol, under the administration of Prince Su, yielded 700,000 taels, compared with 150,000 taels previously, but Su- was promptly transferred to another office and condemned for exposing the true earnings of the octroi. Under bis suc- cessor, Ching, speculation is worse than ever. China has to pay in January, says the correspondent, 12,899,000 taels on ac- count of the indemnity. At the present exchange rate she must remit an addi- tional 3,500,00 taels to meet the de- ficlency. The correspondent goes on to say that Ingratitude also marks the present ad- ministration. While the British held the railway from Peking to the (Cireat Wall they built two extensions, paid two cou- pons of the loan, left a balance of £30,- 000 and restored the line to perfect con- ditions. When Russia restored to China the line from the Great Wall to Niu- Chwang, all the rolling stock was dam- aged and China had to pay £300,000 for the expenses of maintenance. Yet, adds the correspondent, China re- warded Russia by granting on favorable terms the concessions for a railway from Ching-Ting to 'Tai-yuen-FKFoo, while re- fusing to the British leave to build a railway from Shan-St to the Yang-tse, though this right was formally conceded {Emma agreement signed in September, FOR CHILD'S DEATH.
