WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-. It Is pretty well
understood hcru thnt I lu re Is to be no bom
bardment of Colon by cither side. While
Commander McCrca was given wide discre
tionary power and nothing was said to lilm
about stopping the bombardment dlrcrtly,
pevsrthelcss tho State department estab
lished a precedent In these matters last
year when It Instructed Mr. Gudgurs to
warn the Insurgents at Panama that they
would not be allowed to bombard that port.
If tho government troops on the IMnzon
should persist In their purpose It Is said
that the commanders of the- various war
phlps at Colon would require that ample
time bo nllowcd for the withdrawal from
tho town of nil forolgnerH iind that the at
tacking force, to escape restraint, would be
bilged to direct their bombardment with
such ram precision us to destroy th Insur
gent defenses without harming tho railroad
property, and even without nndangorlng thi)
passage of trains, conditions probably not
'to be met.
1 Tho secretary of the navy today cabled
Captain Terry of own to assume full
'command of nil tho United States naval
forces on both sides of the Isthmus, In order
to Insuro harmonious operations. Consul
general Oudgcr's InHt dispatch, which came
'after I o'clock, was about ns follows: "Our
troops have arrived at Mattachln, one-half
of tho way across tho Isthmus. No obstruc
tion, and Colombian government seemed to
bo victorious over tho Insurgents."
Free TrniiHll Itp-IXnlillnliPil,
Lator advices, whllo showing tho situa
tion on tho Isthmus to be still unsettled,
contain the Information that free transit by
way of railroad has been re-established.
jThrsn advices camo In a dispatch received
Vpy Secretary Long from Captain Perry of
tho battleship Iowa, who had made a trip
across the Isthmus from Panama to Colon,
from which placo hn sont a telegram, nn
extract of which tho secretary made public,
h follows:
"Captain Perry reports that freo transit
pcross the Isthmus Is restored and that ho
returns to Panama this afternoon. Tho cap
tain will leavo a guard on each passenger
train for tho-prcscnt.'.
Th?s purpose of tho guard presumably Is
to prevent Interruption to the free passage
of trains by Insurgents congregated along
jtbe linn of tho road.
. Mr. Herran, In charge of tho Colombian
legation, Is well satisfied with tho tenor of
the advices which have come to linnd today
from Acting Oovernor Arjona of Panama,
.who reported that the rebel army having
tiaen defeated at Cnlcbra and Gmperador
,Oenerel Alban had now marched on Colon.
His theory Is thai General Alban com
pletely dislodged tho rebel foreo which had
camped nt Chorrern, from which placo Mr.
Borrnn believes they retreated to Culebra
nnd Emperador, whoro they again took a
Ptand. Their defeat at theso places, Mr.
jHerran says, leaves General Alban freo to
'anarch to Colon.
' Mr. Herran thinks that General Alban
tow has at least 1,000 well equipped and
thoroughly armed men, besides which S00
men are on board the Colombian boat Pin-
con, now at Colon. Mr. Herran asserts that
the rebels have not nt tho outsldo more
than 1,500 men.
Music flonnda Monrnfnl.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the
chooner Clapet and a railroad bargo re
turned to rannma bringing 350 men from
rOhorrera, being tbo remainder of General
'ATban'a expedition. Great crowds gathorod

KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. 25. Colonel C.
F. Morse, vlco president nnd general man
ager of the Stock Yards company, said to
day regarding tho Washington decision:
"Its immediate) effect upon tuo atocK
yards and Its patrons will not bo noticeable.
After the lower courts decided against us
wo moved tho cattle business, except quar
antined cattle, into Missouri and charged
tho old rates. Sheep are ardcd In Missouri
nnd tho horse und mule business Is all lu
.Missouri. Tho hog bmlucixi Is In Kansas
nnd tho yardago chargo for hogs has com
piled with the Kansas law from tho first.
Tho fact Is that the dlroctors had takeu up
tho question of reducing yardage charges
on hogs before tho law was passed."
'Then will you not Increaso your rates on
hogs?"
"Wo have not thought of doing It."
"WlU'thls iV'clslon affect yordnge charges
for quarnntlno cattle7"
"Not now. There is ono charge for yarrt-
ngo and another for maintaining the quar
nntlno. Tho United States laws require
separate yards for quarantlno cattle and
there Is a quarantine chargo that goes
with the yardago charge."

General Douglas, who returned home this
ovenlng, mado tho following statement in
regard to tho effort to prevent tho alleged
consolidation of tho Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. Hallway companies
through the medium of the Northern Se
curities company of New Jersey:
"I shall earnestly co-operato with Gov
ernor Vnn Sant In fighting any consolidation
which Is in violation of law nnd will do
anything in my power to encourngo further
legislation of n practical nature, either
state or national, which Is calculated to
prcscrvo competition.
"Tho organization of tho great railroad
corporation Is a clear violation of tho
spirit, although not of tho letter of tho
act of 1881, tho validity of which wan sus
tained by the supremo court of the United
States in tho Pcarsall case. I am not In a
position to discuss remedies, but am under
tho' Impression that Interference by tho
federal authorities, bnscd upon the Sher
man autl-trust act nnd tho IntctMato com
merce act, Is likely to bring about good
results."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Tho fifth an
nual report of the secretary of agriculture,
Hon. James Wilson, mado public today, Is
considerably larger than In former years,
reflecting thereby tho great growth and de
velopment which has attended this depart
ment during bis ndmlnlstrntlon.
Ho announcer nn lmportnnt extension of
tho forecast field of the Weather bureau,
which now includes reports from certain
points In the British IhIcs nnd on tbo cou
tlneut of Kurope, from tbo Azores, Nassau,
Bermuda and Turk's Island. An extension
of tho forecast to farraont through tho
i urat free delivery 1b contemplated. Sub
stantial Improvements uro reported tn tho
department's system of wirelcsB telegraphy,
of which tho secrctnry nays In conclusion:
"Whllo thero Is much experimental work
yet to lw douc, beforo tbo present system Is
reliable for Intcrsblp communication, or
beforo nny two systems can work In the
same flold without each rendering the other
useless, such progress ban been nindo by
tho government experimenters that, with
no Interference by private systems, stations
can be successfully operated over nt least
150 miles of coast lino nnd they aro now In
operation on tho North Carolina nnd Vir
ginia coasts, aud soon will be Instituted be
tween the Farnllono islands and tbo main
land and Tntoosh Island and the mainland,
on tbo Pacific coast."
Anliunl luiliistry.
A large portion of the report covers th
subject of animal Industry. Tho grand total
of animals and animal products exported
during tho year exceeded J250.000.000 In
value. This vast foreign mnrket Is only
preserved to our producors by the the in
defatlgoblo efforts of tho department nnd
tho rigid Inspection exercised through tint
Bureau of Animal Industry. Tho bureau
Inspected for export .185,000 cattle. 228,000
sheep and 48,000 horses and mules and
nearly 1.000 vessels carrying livestock. Im
ported animals were nlso Inspected to tho
number of 312,000 nnd whoro necessary
quarantined. Tho socretary suggests that
with tbo enormous Interests our stockrals
era have at stake, and, lnspoctloa.or quaran
tlno affordlngattop alf' k' relative, not an
absoluto guarunty of protection. It might, be
well for the country to follow tho example
of Great Britain nnd cxcludo livestock from
other countries entirely. The moat luspec
Hon scrvico Involved tho Inspection at tlmo
of slaughter of nearly 37.000.000 animals.
Of tho more than 6,000.000 cattle In
spertcd, tho condemned carcasses were
about, one-fourth of 1 per cent; of tho
(1,500.000 sheep, ono-tcnth of 1 per cent;
nnd of 24.000,000 hogs, one-third of 1 per
cent. In tho control of Indigenous dlsenees
1,500,000 Inspections were mado nnd over
.45,000 enrs disinfected in tho Texas fevor
service alone. In tbo repression of scabies
In sheep nearly 8,000,000 animals were In
spected, and over 1,000.000 dipped under thn
supervision of tho department Inspectors.
In combatting tho disease known as "black
leg" tho bureau distributed over 1.500,000
doses of vacclno, tho result being to reduc-i
losses In affected herds to less than 1 per
cent, whero formerly It was In most cases
nbout 10 per cent. To nld In detecting tu-
Dercuiosis in cnttio nnd glanders In horse'
over. 14.000 doses of tuberculin and 7.000
doses of malleln have been supplied.
Tiio secretary points out tho serious evil
resulting from a system of state Inspection
which. If It hecamo general, would effect
ually prevent tho marketing of Uve stock
In some sections and would destroy much
of the usefulness of the federal Inspection.
Ho regards tho present conditions aa so
menacing to tbo interests of the cattlo In
dustry In tho west and southwest that hn
has requested tho attorney general to co
operato In bringing the mattor boforo the
supreme court for decision as to the con
stitutionality of these stato laws. This re
quest has been favorably recolvcd and tbo
assistance of the Department of Justice
promised.
l'lnnt Inilnatry.
Investigations lu plant physiology and
pathology havo been lately devoted to th
study of cotton diseases, diseases of orchard
fruits and of forest trees nnd construction
timber. An Interesting; discovery to cotton
growers Is reported of a cowpea resistant
to tho fuugtiB that destroys tho cotton
roots. Tho cowpea being used in rotation
with cotton, tho securing n resistant cow
pea will bo of the greatest possible value
to cotton growers. In botanical Investiga
tions Important work has been done on
seeds, Improvement of crops and methods
of crop production lu our tropica! poanex
slons, and prevention of losses to cattlo In
thn west from oatlng poisonous plants.
Comparative experiments regarding the re
lative value of American and Kuropcan
clover seed give r caul Ik. strongly in favor
of tho former, at least under conditions
prevalent In this, country. A remedy has
been found which, when promptly admtnli
tnred, Is effectual In the treatment of ani
mals poisoned from lnrkspur and poison
camas. The agricultural conditions of our
now possessions are being thoroughly
studied and special attention Is being given
to thn production In these poasetslnns of
tropical crops, for which the United State
pays nut millions of dollars annually, liais
ing coffee In Porto Ttlro has been thi sub
ject of special study. Our annual importa
tions of this valuable crop now amount tu
$70,000,000.
The secretary asserts that much loss tins
resulted to the rattle Industry In tba west
In recent years owing to the Injudicious
management of ranges. The department's
experiments show that much could bn done,
under proper control, to restore the ranges
to their original condition, and be recom
mends action by congress, giving the presi
dent authority to secure for the experimen
tal needs of his department such tracts of
publlo range lands as may be necessary.
Introduction of Vnlunlilc ScH,
