A Temporary Fright.
CHICAGO , May 27. [ Special Telegram to
the IJnR.I There was a panic at the stock
yards and among live stock shipping men
this morning , caused by Commissioner Col-
man's latest proclamation. This , It was
fully believed , quarantined the stock yards ,
and declared every head of cattle which
should arrive there "Infected with pleuro-
pnoumonla. " Cattlemen consulted and con
cluded that If the order should stand , the
live stock shlpolng business could not bo
carried on In any suburb of Chicago. The
following telojram was sent to Commis
sioner Colman by George P. Williams , secre
tary of the Union .stock yards :
Are wo to understand that your quarantine
order against Cook county Is to Interfere
with the whole cattle traltlc from the west to
the east , passing through the yards at tlio
Chicago market , when they do not come in
contact with the Cook county cattle ?
Mr. Williams and President Sherma n
agreed that the order , If it affected the ship
ment ot cattle from the stock yards , would
ruin the business there. It was not long
after this was sent , that the mall for the office
of the stock yards company arrived. In this
was an official letter from Commissioner
Colman. It contained what wat piintedln
this morning's papers about the quarantine.
The following are the pertinent provisions :
That a contagious , Infectious aim commun
icative disease , known as plcuro-pneumo-
nla , exists among the cattle In the county of
Cook , state of Illinois ; that all cattle In said
infected district are hereby quarantined
until further notice , and deemed "affected
with a contagious disease , " and all persons
are prohibited from moving or transporting
any cattle from said county ot Cook , ntato
of Illinois , to any other state or territo
ry of the United States under
penalty ; provided , however , that
any cattle that have been examined by an
Inspector of the bureau of animal Industry ,
mid by said inspector are certilled to In writ
ing as being free from plouro-pneumonla ,
may bo transported to any other state or ter
ritory from said Infected district within forty-
eight hours alter being so eertllied to ; and
provided , further , that suc.li Inspector Is fur
nished with an affidavit made by two disin
terested persons , mating that tlioy have
known such cattle for a period of six months ,
Immediately prior to the examination , and
that during that time the cattle have not
been exposed to ploueo-pnoiinionla.
Following the matter , which had already
become only too familiar to the eyes of the
men whoso business was so seriously af
fected , was another paragraph In typewrit
ing. It read as follows : Provided , however ,
until further notice that cattle offered for
shipment from the Union stock yards , at the
city of Chicago , Cook county , Illinois , may
be received mm transported without exam
ination and without the certificate above
prescribed. Nothing , however , In this proviso
vise Is to exempt parties making such ship
ment from the penalty for shipping or offer
ing for shipment cattle , aflllctcd with pleuro-
pneumonia , or cattle from said Cook county ,
Illinois.
This was new light , and but for the fact
: that the rest of the country was by that time
Jh under the Impression that the stock yards
had been quarantined would have been en
tirely satisfactory. The following dispatch
was then sent to Commissioner Colman by
Secretary Williams :
Your order , as published In the papers ,
lias no provision for cattle shipments at the
Union stock yauls market , therefore , tlio
whole country will understand that ship
ment from this market Is blocked and such
impiosslon should bo corrected.
Further light was obtained when the rep
resentative ot the national bureau ot Ani
mal Industry In this city. Prof. Law , was seen.
Ha said : "Practically the order just issued
by the commissioner of agriculture , quaran
tining Cook countv , does not In the least
niter the condition of affairs that existed be
fore It was Issued. All the states had quar
antined against Cook county and the state
of Illinois had also quarantined It , so the
Older Is simply a recognition of the commis
sioners of agriculture of the work already ac
complished by the several states. The order
docs not affect cattle in through transit.
The quarantine will not bo raised until
every trace of the disease Is stamped out. "
Roycottlng the Omaha lload.
CHICAGO , May 27. [ Special Telegram to
the BEE.I The Times says the transconti
nental lines ore not In very good humor re
specting the participation of certain western
lines with the Canadian Pacific ; In the deliv
ery ot a largo amount of sugar at Omaha , St.
Joseph and Kansas City. They charge that
the Manitoba , Omaha , and Kansas City , St.
Joseph & Council BUUTs , are taking as pro
rate on the combined haul from Winnipeg to
Kansas City. 23 cents per 100 , a very
low rate for 800 miles ot transportation. This
is particularly resented fromthe fact that the
transcontinental roads' freight delivered tc
the Omaha at the Missouri river terminals
has never been taken on such favorable
terms , although the tonnage offered has been
much larger In volume than that given by
tlii Canadian lino. There has been some talk
of boycotting the Omaha road and diverting
to St. Paul all California freight destined foi
Wisconsin and Minnesota points. II
leems as If the Omaha was making a pretty
low rate , and the business it Is getting hardly
pays It. .

woman In America , whose great wealth and
financial ability have made her a power In
Wall street , and whose personal eccentrici
ties have been made the theme of many n
newspaper article , has caused a sensation by
i efusing to become a party to an agreement
entered Into between the bondholders of the
Houston & Texas Central railway. Mrs ,
Green , by her action , has actually pitted hei
wealth and her cunnlnr aealiibt the wealth
and cunning of C. P. Uuntlngton and his
associates. Mrs. Green. it la
probable , will bring suit to maintain
what she considers to be her rights In
the reorganization of the Houston & Texas
Central. Under the reorganization scheme ,
the first mortgage bondholders and others in
the debenture bonds , yesterday was the
last day In which the bondholders are secured
under this plan. There were g4-jr ; ) > , oa
general mortgage bonds , of which S&O.OOC
are In dispute , being tied up as collateral lu
the hands of Morgan's line of steamships ,
Of the remaining 13,445,000 there had assented
to the plan at the close of business yesterday
S'J.127,000 , n large majority of the bonds. The
bondholders' committee have all along
counted on the support of Mrs. Green , It If
stated positively that Mrs. Green promised tc
placohor bonds with the committee in assent
to the reorganization plan as soon as the
holders ot J1.200,000 of them had
done so. All was serene r.nd peace
ful until Monday , when the com
mlttco discovered "that Mrs Green bad
changed her mind. It Is understood she be
lleves that by holding out , now that all othei
bondholders have assented , shw can forct
Uuntlngton to make a private settlenien
with tier on better terms than the other bond
holders will got She thinks she sees thai
Uuntlngton Is making a good thing out o
the reorganization plan. The stock which hi
bought at 10 has sold as high as 40 and thi
advance has been literally since the reorgan
izatlon plan was puttorth. Since Mrs.Grecn'i
refusal has become known the stock ha :
declined , and yesterday only g
was offered for it. The bondholder
committee , however , declare that It make
'little or no difference whether Mrs. Greer

Cable Special to the BKE. | Many miners
resumed work this morning In the Liege dis
trict The socialists assert that they only
returned to the pits to Induce the non-
strikers to abandon work , the suspension of
which will , according to them , bo moro wide
spread than ever tomorrow. Last night a
collision tool ? place In Borlnage , Central
Belgium , between a detachment of landers
and a crowd of riotous strikers. Three lan
ders were wounded and ono had a leg broken
by a cudgel. There have been several fresh
dynamite attempts , showing the workmen
possess largo quantities of explosives. The
general situation Is no worse than yesterday.
Ono Important fact that thn strike brings
about Is the Involuntary suspension of work
of many branches of Industry which have
nothing to do with It. Glassworks are be
coming partially or completely Inactive ,
because their staff ot glass blowers
have to servo as guardsmen. This
Is the case , for Instance , with the large glass
works of Blvolt , ot Jumot , well known In
Now York , where they have a branch house ,
and with many others. A meeting of COO
women was held to-day at Gllly. The women
claimed universal suffrage for their hus
bands. Similar meetings were held at Mar-
clnclla , Chatellno and other places , for the
purpose of encouraging their husbands in
the strike , and pledging themselves to come
and make a demonstration at Biussels next
Monday. The strike Is again extending In
Lieno , which confirms the suspicion that the
strikers who resumed work yesterday only
went down the pits to gather fresh recruits.

ho cotton corner In Liverpool was largely
ttendod and represented by the spinning
rade from Lancashire , Shopshlro ,

t was agreed that the working hours should
e reduced to half time for eight weeks , pro-
'ided that this should become operative If

about to relume the torch ol
liberty upon tlio altar of liberty. "

smile , and with the most silvery accents Im
aginable , said : "Oh , I am so glad to heai
vou say that again , senator , for 1 told mj
