The secretary slates: "Out of a total of -159,000 cattle exported, there were inspected, marked with numbers for identification and certified 38.'i,000. Tho remainder were shipped in small lots from ports where no Inspection in maintained and to countries which do not require inspection. "Tlie number of sheep exported reached about 208,000 head, ondo'f these 228,000 were inspected before shipment. The horses and mules con stituted the second largest item in the exports of live animals, the num ber being 110,500, and tho value about $8,000,000. Of these nearly -18,000 were Inspected and certified. "Tho reported increase of bovine tuberculosis in most countries and the losses already sustained from the disease in the United States led mo to make an order requiring a tuber culin test of cattle imported for breeding or dairy purposes. The ap plication of this test has detected a sufficient number of diseased animals to fully justify its adoption." The secretary says that great activ ity lias characterized tho introduction of valuable seeds and plants from abroad. In regard to the congres sional seed distribution it has been arranged to send out cotton seed, to bacco seed, sorghum seed, sugar-beet seed, grasses and forage plants. COMMON LAW MARRIAGES.

It was during the Lecdy administration in Kansas and at the time tlie populists controlled both houses of the legislature. It was their theory that the stock yards company, although existing without a franchise granted by the state or any other au thority, was in reality a public serv ice corporation, subject to regula tion of rates, the same as a railroad or other company requiring a fran chise.
