Elaine Denies All Gonneotiot With Shipherd and the "Go It , Steve , " Story. Proceeding * in COURTCM and Otbai National Notes- SHIPHERD. National Araoclatod Press. ELAINE'S TESTIMONY. WASHINGTON- . 0. , April 24. Blaine. testifying , a&id ho never sav the musing papers. lie had no idci whore they -could bo feund. Thoi wore of auch character as not to at tract the attention of the secretary estate state , but to go through the hands o the chief clerk , who would not bothej the socrotnry about them. Ho criti ciscd the committee for trying to go at the policy of the government , regarding garding South America through thi vaporing of such a man as Shiphord saying the better way would have boot to peruse the official dispatches first Ho saw Shiphord on the evening o July 25 , when Blair introduced him The interview wns short. Ho neve : saw him at any time except in thi company of Blair , and did not soi him again until November. Blaim produced nn envelope containing nl the correspondence between him anc Hurlbut , and said it contained no dis closures , nnd detailed the first inter view with Shipherd. "VVhdu the latter showed the names of all hia alleged eminent counsel , in1 eluding ono aonator and three ox < senators , besides prominent businpst men as partners , I could not kid him outside , because the bare show ing entitled him to attention. Onlj for them I would have done what ] practically did three or four months later kick him out. At first Ship herd presented the matter simply as a claim. Blaine did not warrant inter ference. Shipherd subsequently said the land was absolute property. Blaine then said ho would investigate. Shiphord's statement that ho' had told witness at the first interview he had offered Hurlburt $250,000 wortli of stock for his nor vicea was an ab solute , out of whole , irredeemable , detestable lie. Blaine denied the "Go it , Stove" atory , and produced evidence dence from all these whc Shipherd alleged to know of it to the effect that it waa false. With reference once to GarDold'a alleged interference , . ; . dent erery day from hia inaaguratioc till the day ho waa shot , with the ex ception of those days he was nt Al- bans with hia sick wife. Our intimacj was not a common one. I do not saj thia boastfully. It is necessary tc apeak of it to clear his name , the charge being laid upon this dirty job in my connection with him as a member of hia cabinet. I declare that the idea that ho would detail a scheme for thia unknown non descript to carry out in Peru without speaking to hia secretary of state is in conceivable and the product of lying and perjury. The face of the facts disprove it. I do not think this man Shiphord is responsible , for falsehood with him is an employment and per jury n pastime. There was nothing in his testimony that struck my fool ing at this attempt to strike down a great name into the dirty puddles ho was trying to stir up for himself and plunder.

Mr. Robcson's motion to strike out the clause which permits the employment ploymont of mon not union soldiers or Bailer * on the police force of the District passed by 102 nyos to 77 naya. ' A long , exciting debate followed Mr. McLean ( Maryland ) arruignini Mr. Ilobceon for his indecent nttaci on the record of the democratic part ; during the war in having said tha the record of the gentleman from Now York ( Mr. Cox } was bettor thai that of his party. The apoakor ani < that the object of the gentleman from Indiana ( Mr. Holman ) in sup porting Robcson in his bombasti speech on the eoldier was nc moro respectable than llobeson. Thi brought on ti sharp inquiry from Rob cson ns to whether McLean meant tc say his object in speaking was not re spectable. McLean followed with n long reply , Buying ho could not avoii Booing the object in some c&sca , no only in the gentleman from Now Jersey but in others. Ho wns entirely tiroly responsible for what ho said whether no gave offense or not , bu was frank to say ho did not mean to bo offensive. Ho did , however , ob ject to the gentleman's arraigning the democratic party as not loyal. Robcson replied that ho waitoc patiently for the response , knowing then when ho ( McLean ) rose to dis tribute epithets ho usually wont too far , ns the results had ' proven. Ho would not impugn his motives , bu would remind him thnt they who are always ready to Impugn motives oi others seldom are pure themselves. Ho ( Robeson ) was not ono of them to remind another of its unplcasanl war record , but when " 'union soldiers and sailors were attacked ho pro posed to stand by thorn. McLean replied , defending the record of the party and assorting that there wore as many democrats as re publicans in the union army. This brought Miller ( Pa. ) to his feet with a denial of the statements , and a > long discussion ensued , inVhicl the vote of the annyjon the election of Governor Ourtin , of'Ponnsylvania , and the election of President Lincoln were quoted , showing four times ns many republican as democratic votes. To this McLean replied that the history of the soldiers' vote , if tolc aright , would cast into insignificance any of the stories of tissue ballots or atuffiing of ballot boxes , told in later years. Thia statement brought out some sharp inquiry from the other side , tc which McLean responded that ho did not charge direct fraud but that the influence of circumstances in the army controlled the , vote of the men nnd caused many foal democrats to vote with republicans. During the discussion which fol lowed , the vote -in Pennsylvania foi Governor'Ourtin waa mentioned anc Mr. , MUler , , in speaking of Ourtin'i record s'war ' 'guvotuWe'ulogizoc htm strongly , saying b.k'noblo course during the war led him to oven forgive him for occupying a seat on the other aide of the house , as he does now. Mr. Curtiri rose in his aoat and re sponded briefly , speaking earnestly and touchingly of the patriotism of the people of nil state during the war and their support accorded him in his duties. A long debate followed in which Mr. Randall took brief part , saying in regard to democrats and the war , that ho feared the favorable result which , thank God , was reached might not have boon reached but for the aid of the loyal democrats as members of the union army. After the whole afternoon had been passed in this sort of debate , the bill waa passed with the objectionable section omitted , leaving as it now stands , that only union soldiers shall bo employed on the police force of Washington. A bill was introduced appropria ting $200(000 ( for exponaca of the Mississippi river commission , and $300,000 for expenses of the board of health.

Baatorn Dairy Oalvoa and Western Farmers , A paragraph which recently ap- loarcd in The Pittsburg Stockman contains -nucli which in suggestive , til- hough it was but short. It says' 'Since the dairy calf trade of the east has become so important a factor n the stuck cattle trade of the west , ho problem of disposal of the surplus calves of the great dairy regions coins to bo solved. As it is imprac- i cable to raise any number of those calves in the region in which they are iroduced , their destination haa boon ho veal market , which , at certain soa- ons of the year , has heretofore boon nvariably ovoratocked. Since the western outlet is now afforded , the excess should no longer oxiatalthough hero are times yet in which too many calves come forward. The ultimata effect of this western movement , hough , will likely bo to make veal a more stable commodity and give both armors and shippeis a chance to make omothing out of its production and ale. " The calf trade of the east haa become an important factor in the atoro cattle rado of the west , not because of the number of calves brought to the west , or the total number of eastern calves mt upon western pastures In 1881 > robobly foil below fifty thousand , ind if all of those calves should bo nought to maturity they would not supply the Chicago market two woeksj nor is it important because of the value of these calves to the west , for hey cost for more than they are worth ; lor because of any profit it puta into ho pockets ot eaatora farmers , for hat can bo but a triilo more than they would got from eastern markets for ho calves as veal ; but it is important lecauso it misleads and defrauds those western farmers who are foolish enough to buy these calves , and , more han all else , becauHo its existence constantly endangers the welfare , not only of everylcattlo owner of the west , but' of every man. iromnn nnd chil in lUr north. Fret * information gathered fron various sources it appears thn not less than thirty , and per haps forty per cent. o the eastern calves taken to wcsten pastures died within six months nfte their arrival. Their ilosh is BO totulo and soft that they nro seldom able t < withstand the hardships of trnnspor t at ion , nnd , at the very best sonu weeks of very careful attention nn necessary to carry them to n join where they will begin to thrive. It not n few well known cases the pur chaser has lost nearly nil of iht calves , nnd in moro instances fifty ( r sovonty-fivo per cent , have died usually from ailments caused by the hardships of the passage , or from nt tacks of lung worms ( strougRJus mi cruris ) , of which they have brcughl to the west moro in the last two yotirt than were over known hero boforo. The traffic has given rise to reports of doiith from the fatal piouro-pnoumonia reports which , although repeatedly nnd em phatically contradicted by the best authorities in the land , still find cre dence with nnd publication by promi 11 out eastern journalists. In a roccnl issue of Harper's Weekly it is nssortet that , "plouro.pnoumonia has also often appeared na far west na tin Missouri rivor. " Those reports , tin warranted though they arenullify the efforts of our government nnd the trui friends of the lire stock industry , by serving as n pretext ior keeping alive in England alarm nnd determined op position to all moisuros for modifying existing restrictions which practi cally plnco iv prohibitory tnrifl'ol 'rom ten to fifteen dollara upon every well-finished American bullock , .liiiB depriving American cuttle own ers of millions uf dollars ? There is but ono aruument in favor of this dangerous traffic ; it may give o eastern dairymen and farmers a ittlo profit they would not got wore t not for this trade ; it gives to the railroads , the stock yards and the dealers a few extra dolhrs , but nil .heao dollars como from the western itocknmn , who-in too many cascn , las little or nothing loft for his mon ey but a memory of tedious nursing of sickly calves nnd of fast falling OSSOB. In Chicago some 33,000 calves wore ast year sold to farmers and to others who took thorn from the city. The usual augo of prices was from ton to thir- oen dollara per head. If to these > ricos wo add only twonty-fivo per sent , for deaths , wo will have $12.50 0 § lG.25 > ns the market cost of those calves. To this should i bo added ho expense of carrying them to their ostination , and of the nursing noc- ssary to put thorn into growing con- lition , and it will bo found that most f these animals have cost from six- eon twenty dollara per head. It s safe to say that thousands of good alvas raised in the west were sold to mtchora lost autumn for less money , lud they boon taken instead of these astern dairy eaivoa there would have n -froaaiiueuaoj rfrom th/ } mrdships of transportation. There ould not havoboen even a remote pos- ibility of their carrying fatal coning- } us diseases with them , because , The tockman has repeatedly assorted no uoh diseases hare over existed in the west. It will perhaps be urged that the airy calves do not como from infoo- 01 districts , but what proof of the ruth of such an assertion can bo given , in the face of the fact that at least ono car load of calves was last year taken from Now York city to a Mississippi river point. It is well known that there are no moans by which ono part of the United States san protect itself from the danger of importing , in an animal in which , perhaps , no sign of the disease may bo apparent , the most violent and con tagious ailment known among Ameri can cattlo. It is easy to BOO how ono of these dairy calves mieht como to the west from a herd quite recently infected , and plant the seeds deeply by coming in contact with cattle which , roaming at will ever wide ranges , would infect whole herds , which would in turn infect others. Long before the presence and nature of the disease would bo suspected irreparable mischief would bo done. Pastures , fences and build ings would receive nnd store the germs ; railroads would rapidly spread thorn throughout tno whole west , nnd stock yards would bo active centers from which the contagion would spread , carrying ruin to the east , from whence the evil will have como. All the dairy calves the eastern states have sold would not equal in value the cattle the cast will lose by plouro-pnoumonia if that plague once roaches the west. As long as this movement in cattle from the cast to the west shall continue there will bo good ground for serious alarm , for almost as auroly as the sun will rise to-morrow this movement will bring ruin upon the herds of the west. Do not forgot that oven in the oastwhore the movement of cattle are restricted and plouro-pnoumonia has boon hold in chock , it has for many years defied all ofibrta at eradication. In the west , with the free movement of cattle and the constant passing of stock trama between widely separated points , its rapid spread would bo inevitable ; its extinction practically impossible. I venture to predict that , unless the passage of animals from the cost and from foreign countries bo soon placed under for more stringent regulations than any now in force in America , wo will BOO the day when any man who shall bring to the west an animal from the herds of the east , or from any in fected land across the water , will re ceive , as ho now deserves- , the execra tions of the whole people. Congress is now considering meas ures intended to protect the vast cattle tlo industry ot the west from further danger from the aources mentioned abofo , and it is the duty of these whoso interests in the west nro in volved to use their influence with their representatives in Washington to secure the passage of a bill which shall nilbrd ample protection.
