ROUTINE OK HOUSE AND SENATE BRIEFLY CHRONICLED. ininary of Bills and Resolutions Presented and Acted Upon. THE HOUSE. In the house, Tuesday, a report from tbe committee on judiciary was made by Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, calling upon the attorney-general for information as to what steps, if any, he has taken to enforce the laws of the United States against trusts, combina¬ tions and conspiracies and what fur¬ ther legislation if any, is needed, in bis opinion, to protect the people against the same. He explained that this was a substitute for a resolution introduced by Mr. Hubbard, of Mis¬ souri, asking the attorney-general why he had not enforced the anti¬ trust law, which assumed a state of affairs concerning which the commit¬ tee had no evidence, so it had unan¬ imously agreed upon the substitute. The resolution was adopted. The house at 1:25 p. m. adjourned until Wednesday. The annexation of Hawaiian islands was broached in the house Wednesday by Mr. Spalding, of Michigan, in the form of a resolution. The resolution provided that the Sandwich islands be erected into a new state to be called the state of Hawaii with a republican form of government, to be adopted by the people, through deputies in con¬ vention, with the consent of the exist¬ ing government. Conditions were imposed that ques¬ tions of boundary or complications with other governments be transmitted to the president to be laid before con¬ gress for its final action before January 1, 1898; that all property pertaining to the public defense be ceded to the United States, but the state retain all other property and the United States to be liable for none of its debts. The resolution proposes as an alter¬ native that Hawaii may be admitted as a state by treaties between the two governments, with one representative in congress and proposes ait appro - - | priation of $100,000 for making the treaties. The resolution was read by nnanimous consent and referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Upon his request Mr. Harrison, of Alabama, was relieved from service on the elections committee No. 2 because his seat is contested, and Mr. Bailey, ! of Texas, was appointed in his stead. j I Mr. Henderson, Iowa, stated that the , committee on rules would not be able | to report until Thursday, and at 12:45 the house adjourned. In the house, Thursday, Mr. Liv¬ ingston, of Georgia, offered the fol¬ lowing resolution: “Be it resolved by the house of rep¬ resentatives, the senate concurring, that the president of the United States is hereby requested to forthwith as¬ certain whether Great Britain is ad¬ vancing her outposts on the territory in dispute between her colony of Brit¬ ish Guiana and the republic of Vene¬ zuela, or is reinforcing posts hereto¬ fore established with troqps, polioe or ordnance, and should the president become cognizant of the fact that British military or police force is ad¬ vancing to invade or reinforce, or since the seventeenth day of Decem¬ ber last has invaded or reinforced posts formerly occupied within said disputed territory, he demand soldiers the im¬ mediate withdrawal of said aud the reduction of the police force in said territory to not a greater num¬ ber than were occupying the British outposts on the aforesaid 17th of De¬ cember, 1895.” December 17th is the date upon which the president sent his Venezue¬ lan message to the house. Mr. Living¬ ston asked for unanimous consent to make a brief explanation oj the resolu¬ tion, resolution but Mr. Boutelle referred objected (the commit¬ and the was to tee on foreign affairs. Mr. Henderson, republican, Iowa, gave notice that the report of the committee on rinles of the 1 hbuse would be called up Frsdav, and I at 12:20 the house adjourned. \ In the house Friday, Mr. T |wney, I republican, Minnesota, offered a reso- I lution relating to pension claims!. It I lecited that it was frequently charged I by pensioners and applicants thatUfMj 1 medical division of the pension rejH bufl I failed to properly regard the I and findings in pension claims ifl I by various boards of the United StXI I examining surgeons and declared tfl I it was due to the officials of the p^fl 1 I I partments, to pensioners and the lie that the truth or falsity of I charges be made known. It callifl S ■ upon the secretary of the interior I furnish copies of the reports and find* I I iugs by boards of examining surgeons^ fiftjB irrespective of locality in the first ■ claims for original invalid pensions* B I rejected on medical grounds after No- 1 I I vetnber 1, 1891, after September 1, I 1893, and Ootober 1, 1895. An ob- jeotion to its consideration was made ■ I by Mr. McClellan, democrat, New I York. ■ Mr. O’Dell, republican, New York, offered a resolution to direct the com- ■mittee on banking and currency to re-. SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY. GA.. FRIDAY. JANUARY 11, 18%. port an amendment to the general banking laws giving power to banking associations to invest not to exceed 50 per oent. of their lawful reserves in bonds of the United States to be hereafter issued under the acts of Juno 14, 1875, and May 31, 1878. Objec¬ tions wore made to Mr. O’Dell’s reso¬ lution and it was referred to the com¬ mittee. Then the ohanges in the house rules recommended by the com' mittee on rules were reported by Mr. Henderson, republican, Iowa, and were debated section by section. Mr. De Armond, democrat, Missouri, of¬ fered an amendment providing for de¬ duction from members’ pay for ab¬ sences not due to sickness, or sickness in the family. The amendment was lost by a vote of 39 to 182. THE SENATE. All signs pointed to a very stormy session of the senate Tuesday. Mr. Vest was down for a speech and there was a prospect of a very lively skir¬ mish over the bond question and the report of the finance committee. Mr. Jones, democrat, Arkansas, reported from the finance committee the free silver substitute for the house bond bill and gave notice that he would call it up Wednesday and ask the senate to consider it. Mr. Morrill, republican, Vermont,chairman of the finanoe com¬ mittee, notified the senate that the substitute was opposed by every re- Duhlican member of the committee. The bill wept on the calendar. Mr. Elkins, republican, West Virginia, of¬ fered a resolution which was referred to the finance committee, providing that hereafter any contemplated issue of bonds should be first advertised for at least twenty days, and that such bonds shall be sold to the highest bid¬ der. At 2 o’clock Mr. Vest took the floor to discuss the resolution introduced by Mr. Sherman several days ago. He said that the last congress passed a bill which carried ample revenue for the government and a small surplus be¬ sides. The supreme court had strip¬ ped the measure of $50,000,000 of rev¬ enue by a decision which was a sur¬ prise to nearly every intelligent law¬ yer on the floor. While discussing the deoision of the court, he would ob¬ serve the comity between co-ordinate branches of the government, but he ■■would say that the income tax deoision was one of the most remarkable that had ever been delivered, and was so considered by a majority of the peo¬ ple of the country, including able law¬ yers everywhere. Mr. Walcott, of Colorado, who has been absent in Europe for months, was present in the senate Wednesday and took the prescribed oath. He was very warmly received by his associates on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Hale from the committee on naval af¬ fairs, reported back favorably a bill authorizing the secretary of the navy to increase the number of enlisted men in the navy. He directed atten¬ tion to the importance of the bill and gave notice that he would call it up at an early day. Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, of¬ fered two amendments to the free coinage substitute for the honse bond bill. The first prohibited the sale of interest-bearing bonds without the express consent of congress, and the second made it mandatory on the sec¬ retary of the treasury to redeem greenbacks in treasury notes or silver as long as the market price of 412$ grains of silver was lower than that of 29^ grains of gold. At tbe conclusion of the morning hour, Mr. Sherman, moved that the senate adjourn. He said that an early adjournment would facilitate the work of the senate (it being under¬ stood that the republicans desired to hold a caucus.) Mr. Stewart, of Neva¬ da, requested Mr. Sherman to with¬ draw his motion to give him an op¬ portunity to make some remarks on the financial question, but the Ohio senator declined to yield. According¬ ly at 12:50 o’clock the senate adjourn¬ ed until Thursday. Mr. Frye introduced a bill in the senate Thursday to reconvene the del¬ egates to the international maritime conference of 1889. In presenting some petitions from Norfolk, Va., in favor of liberal appropriations for sea coast defenses, Mr. Daniels called at¬ tention to the alarm which manifestly existed in the minds of the people along the sea coast in view of the ru¬ mors of war. He thought their appre¬ hensions of bombardment were exag¬ gerated, but expressed the belief that HUr Hartifled sea coast cities should be adequate-- to meet any emergency. Huker, republican, Kansas, offer- ■Wollowing MKpression resolution, onunci- of the Monroe doe- I, That the United States kas ■>wer, an Unfriendly act for without our con- Hreaty, territorial purchase or o Hi¬ nd its limits jHemisphere Hn continents, on either or over BKmtry ^knds deems adjacent tbere- Hyatiou. necessary And the Unit- Ms He the right to be the necessity for the ■ their national en- e herein enunci- gp ■eeessity law of self-pre- adheres “In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.” in and belongs to every civilized na¬ tion as a sovereign and inalienable right, and principle is attested by Washington’s farewell addref ^ and President Monroe’s every meat.'able message of December 2d, 1823.” Mr. Baker made a brief speech in ad¬ vocacy of the resolution. In conclu¬ sion he said that while the countries of Europe were arranging their poli¬ cies and doctrines, it was right and proper that we should declare to the world the policy which we advanced and proposed to maintain for the fu¬ ture peace and preservation inviolate of the western hemisphere. Mr. Call, democrat, Florida, took occasion before the resolution was re¬ ferred to the foreign relations com¬ mittee, to call attention to the war which the Cubans were so gallantly and successfully waging for independ¬ ence, and expressed the hope that the committee on foreign relations would report a resolution for the recognition of the Cuban belligerents. When the morniDg business had been disposed of there was a clash as to the order of v>rocednre. Mr. Stew¬ art, of .Nevada, insisted upon address¬ ing the senate on the Elkins resolution prohibiting the sale of bonds except after advertisement to the highest bid¬ der. Mr. Jones, democrat, Arkansas, in charge of the free coinage substitute to the house bond bill, wanted to pro¬ ceed with the consideration of that bill according to the notice previously given, but as Mr. Stewart insisted Mr. Jones was compelled to yield. Mr. Stewart in his remarks advocated the passage of the Elkins resolution as amended by Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, prohibiting the sale of any bonds in the future except with the express consent of congress. During the morning hours in the senate Friday, on motion of Mr. Voor- hees, democrat, Indiana, a resolution was adopted appropriating $250 for the purchase of a portrait of the late Allen G. Thurman. Mr. Pritchard, republican, North Carolina, called up the amendments he offered to the rev¬ enue bill to increase the duties on cer¬ tain kinds of clay, marble, iron ore, timber, live stock, cereals, fruits, wool and coal for the purpose of ad¬ dressing the senate thereon. He fa¬ vored the re-enactment of the McKin¬ ley law and the free coinage of silver. He denounced the southern, demo¬ crats for their recreancy to their own section. Their tariff laws had brought unexampled prosperity to New Eng¬ land manufacturers and bankruptcy and ruin to the farmers and producers of the south. When Mr. Pritchard had finished, Mr. Hill, democrat, New York, chided the former for the inconsistency of his state. North Carolina, he said, occupied a peculiar situation in con¬ gress, and he did not see how her peo¬ ple could be gratified. ■ Some time ago the same legislature in North Carolina had elected two senatois by the same combination. A few days ago one of them (Mr. Butler) had denounced the democratic party for being false to its pledges of tariff reform. Today the other end of the combination told tbe senate that he favored the re-enact¬ ment of the McKinley law. Mr. White, democrat, California, consumed the remainder of the time before the expiration of the morning hour with a speech in favor of some practical modifications of the senate _rules. He did not mince words in his characterization of the rules and the “ancient fictions” they perpetuated. The great evil which he especially in¬ veighed against was that which per mitted interminable debate on any question and placed it in the power of a single senator to hold the senate at his mercy so long. Tbe senate then adjourned until Monday. THE FAVOR ARBITRATION. Leaders of the Moveriient Hold a Meeting in London. The Westminster Gazette says a movement is on foot in London to put into effect the suggestion alleged to have been made by Justice Harlan, of the supreme court of the United States, that differences between Great Britain and the United States be set¬ tled by a commission composed of an equal number of judges of her maj¬ esty’s high court of justice and the supreme court of the United States. Already the private meeting of Eng¬ lishmen and Americans has been held to consider what further action shall be taken. The disclosures made in The Chroniele’s Washington dispatches concerning the Venezuelan dispute have encouraged the leaders in this movement to publish their proposals, which amount to the advocacy of the establishment of a permanent court of arbitration. LOUISIANA POPULISTS MEET. Judge A. A. Gunby Was Nominated for Governor. The populists of Louisiana met in convention at Alexandria Wednesday. There were about 200 delegates in at¬ tendance, and they came principally from the territory contiguous to Bap- ides parish, which is the center of the populist strength in the state. A cau¬ cus was held, beginning at 10 o’clock and lasting until nearly noon. The convention organized at 8 o’clock p. m., and after nominating Judge A. A. Giinby, of New Orleans, for lieutenant governor, adjourned until Thursday. THROUGH GEORGIA. BITS OF NEWS GATHERED FROM OVER THE STATE, Being a Summary of Interesting Hap¬ penings From Day to Day. Brunswick is infested with tramps. There were attracted there by mild climate and fertile soil. J. A. D. McClellan, a prosperous farmer of Mitchell county, has sold out his property and left for Vene¬ zuela. » * * Application has been made to Hon. A. D. Candler, secretary of state, for a charter for the West Point state bank. Towns county veterans and the wid¬ ows of veterans got $3,330 out of the fund appropriated for pensions by the state of Georgia. « * * M. H. Shepard, of Athens, had on his table new year’s day, fresh green corn, beans, tomatoes, beets and okra, all from his own raising. * * * Within the next two weeks the Cen¬ tral bank of Macon will pay out in Macon not less than $175,000 in divi¬ dends to holders of various securities. A farmer in Coweta county has for sale 3,000 bushels of seed oats raised by him last year. He buys no grain and doesn’t keep his smoke house in the west. # * * The supreme court reports will here¬ after be printed at a cost to the state of two dollars per volume, instead of three dollars, which has been paid for a number of years. The city fathers of Valdosta have begun work setting out shade trees over the city, and will continue it un¬ til the first of March. They calculate on planting from 500 to 1,000 live and water oaks in that time. A northerner is looking for a loca¬ tion in Georgia to start a newspaper. Any parties knowing of a good place for such an enterprise might send word to the Business League, Wash¬ ington, Ga. * * * The members of the Harmony Grove Baptist church have decided to build a $10,000 church instead of a $6,000 building as was first decided upon. The work will begin in the early spring and be pushed to an immediate completion. * * * It is authentically announced that the Plant System will commence the erection in the near future of a $15,000 hospital in Wayoross. The establish¬ ing of this hospital at Waycross has long been talked of, and it now seems that it is to be carried into effect. It is probable that a movement to secure funds for the erection of an annex to the Lucy Cobb Institute will be started early in the spring. That such a building is needed is not questioned, and the ladies will be de¬ termined in their undertaking if suoh a step is decided upon. * * * It is reported that tbe headquarters of the Georgia and Alabama railroad will soon be removed to Savannah. Major Cecil Gabbett is in charge of the road as vice-president and general manager, and has had surveys made for extending the road into Savannah from Lyons direct, and also from Mel- drim to Savannah. President Herbert Murphy, of the Bank of Waycross, has bought the Hilliacd-Olough property, situated in and north of Waycross, about 1,700 aores, for $17,000. Captain Hilliard, of Densmore, Florida, owned the timber, and Mr. Clough, of Waycross, the land. Murphy has sold a half in¬ terest to Sessoms & Bullard. He will invite J. O. Curry to settle his Illinois cololly on the property. The land will be laid op’ in small farms and put on the ma( . Murphy will build a beautiful park on the property near the city. * * * Judge Walter T. Turnbull, of tho Borne circuit, has resigned. His letter of resignation was sent to the gover¬ nor a few days ago. It was in the na¬ ture of a complete surprise to the bar. He has presided for only two years and his decisions have been universally sustained by tho supreme court and noted for their clearness and profound thought. He ably presided over the Floyd county city court for four years and it was here his ability to deal with most difficult legal questions was dem¬ onstrated. The bar aud people part with him very reluotantly. * * * The Ohio colony, Major O. S. Hayes, manager, is attracting farmers and capitalists from every section of the country. A syndicate of capitalist! will soon organize a bank, erect 8 2,500 spindle factory and build a large VOL. VI. NO. 41 factory for the manufacture of agri¬ cultural implements. Forty farms have already been sold at Htatham. The capitalists are from Massachusetts and the farmers from Ohio and other states east and west, 'titatham is a station on the S. A. L. railroad and the lands in this section are very fer¬ tile and easy of cultivation. The Athens Banner states that the State College of Agriculture aud Me¬ chanic Arts is to have a new farm to be used in connection with the agri¬ cultural department. Prof. James B. Hunnicutt, who occupies the chair of agriculture, has been authorized to sell or exchange the farm now owned by the svate college and to secure one better fitted for the purposes. The college now has a farm of fifty-two acres at Bock College, but it is too small a tract of land and not thor¬ oughly ndapted to the uses of an ex¬ perimental farm. So Prof. Hunnicutt will try to secure near the city a tract of land containing about two hundred acres, both upland and bottom land, with plenty of water on it. A New Cotton Mill. The Whittier cotton mills, on the Chattahoochee river, a half mile from the plant of the Chattahoochee Brick Company, were put in operation a few days ago. Miss Helen A. Whittier, president of the company that owns the mill, pressed an electric button and put the spindles in operation and opened up another great indnstry for the south, and gave employment to between three and four hundred peo¬ ple. The mills will continue in oper¬ ation during all the working days of the year, and will add much to the manufacturing business of this section, and will give a meauB of living to a small army of people. The construc¬ tion.of the mill was begun last spring and was finished a few days ago. The total cost of the mill was $200,000. It lias 10,000 spindles, and is one of the finest equipped cotton mills in the country. It has been supplied with machinery of the latest improvement and manufacture, and is said to be un¬ excelled, as far as the machinery de¬ partment is concerned. To Lease the S. & W. Road. At the annual election of the Augusta and Savannah railroad the following directors Were elected : General Law- ton, George S. Owens, Frank H. Mill¬ er, William W. Thomas, Joseph D. Weed, Frank S. Lathrop, Henry H. Hull. General Lawton was re-elected president. The Augusta and Savannah railroad, since the reorganization of the Central of Georgia, has been re-leased by the Central for 101 years at 5 per cent per annum. Joseph Williams, of Bichmond, the president of the Georgia and Alabama railroad, formerly the Savannah, Amer¬ icus and Montgomery, treasurer; J. Wilcox Brown, of Baltimore, attorney. Leopold Wallach, of New York, and the operating department of the road, have been in conference with Presi¬ dent Comer, of the Central of Georgia, relative to the leasing of the Savannah and Western by the Georgia and Ala¬ bama. The general impression is that tbe conference will result in either a sale or a lease of the property. THE GIRLS’ COLLEGE. Trustees Hold a Most Harmonious Meeting In MHledgeville. The trustees of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College for girls held an enthusiastic meeting in Milledge- ville, the main purpose of which was to make preliminary arrangements for the erection of the new dormitory to accommodate the increasing patronage of the school. Those present Were Governor W. Y. Atkinson, Senator Pat Walsh, Hon. F. G. DuBignon, Hon. Mr. Walker of Putnam, and Messrs. Lamar and New¬ ell, of MHledgeville. The new bnilding will cost about $25,000 and will be erected on the east side of the school building, which will put it nearly in the center of the mag¬ nificent twenty-two acre lot, and when completed will be one of the most beautiful in the south. This building will accommodate about 200 pupils, while the old dormitory, annex tp tho old executive mansion, only has room for 120. These two dormitories will not near¬ ly accommodate all the young ladies who wish to attend, as students are be¬ ing turned away for lack of dormitory facilities. Messrs. Bruce & Morgau, architects, of Atlanta, have been se¬ lected to submit plans for the new building.. The board passed enthusiastic reso¬ lutions of thanks to Mr. J. A. Filoher, of California, for bis valuable dona¬ tion of the California universal exhibit recently displayed at the Atlanta ex¬ position. adjournment tho teachers After dined with Dr. Chappell at the man- uon, when an elegant menu was served by students of the cooking department of the college. This college is in a most prosperous condition and is just¬ ly Georgia’s pride. . Minnesota. Ex-Governor Dead. Ex-Governor W. E. Marshall, of Vtinnesota, died Wednesday night at Pasadena, Cal., where he went about two years ago for his health. 1.00 A Tear. GROWTH OK THE SOUTH. The Industrial Condition as Reported for the Cast Week. The reports as to southern industrial and business conditions for the past week show that mercantile business continues to be quiet. Jobbers report that sales are increasing since the usual settlements at the beginning of the year have been made. Collections are good, but buyers are very careful in increasing their purchases. In the cotton growing sections the times are easy, and a good deal of cotton re- mams ntisold, as growers look for a re¬ turn of higher prices. There is some improvement in the lumber trade, and exports from Texas and other Gulf ports are growing larger. Atlantic coast and inte¬ rior point lumber manufacturers are selling a good deal of lumber, but say that existing prices are too low to give them a fair profit. At this time of the year a large trade is not looked for. There is no change in the condition of the iron and coal industries. The Southern iron furnaces are being op¬ erated to their full capacities, and stocks do not seem to accumulate. It is understood that many orders are as yet unfilled that were received dur¬ ing the fall. Coal operators are busy, and are selling more coal than ever before. The opening of new markets and lessened competition has given the Southern coal operators an oppor¬ tunity to increase their sales, which has been fully cared for. Cotton mills increase in number from week to week, as new concerns previously announced as in process of building are put in operation. The new cotton mills for the week, as resorted to The Trades¬ man, are to be located at Selma, Ala., Americus, Ga., and Aiken, S. C., and a hosiery mill at Opelika, Ala. The following new industries were established or organized in the south¬ ern states during the week: The Pied¬ mont Gold Belt Chartered company, at Bichmond, Va., capital $2,000,000, to operate gold mines; car wheel works, with $100,000 capital, at Bir¬ mingham, Ala. ; the Tom Padgitt Har¬ ness and Saddlery Manufacturing com¬ pany, of Wnco, Tex., capital $100,000, and the Yorkville Gold Mining com¬ pany, of Atlanta, Ga., capital $50,000, to carry on raining operations in Paul¬ ding couuty. The 0. Jagke company, capital $50,000, has been chartered at Galveston, Tex., to manufacture musi¬ cal instruments; the Georgia Soap company, capital $25,000, chartered at Atlanta, Ga., and the Fayetteville Ice Manufacturing and Cold Storage company, at Fayetteville, Ark. The Ohio Door company has been organ¬ ized at Covington, Ky., capital $25,- 000 ; the Fort Smith Construction and Improvement company, capital $20,- 000, at Fort Smith, Ark.; a $12,000 cotton oil mill at Gaffuey, S. C.; a $10,000 lumber company at Galveston, Tex., and a $10,000 mining company at Easley, S. C. There is also reported the establish¬ ment of bicycle works at Alexandria, Ya. ; the opening of new coal mines at Ashland, Ivy., and prospective ma¬ chinery works, with $250,000 capital, at Atlanta, Ga. Plow works are to be established at Birmingham, Ala., a pumpi factory at Memphis, Tenn., a tobacco factory at Little Bock, Ark., cotton gins at Noodsville, Miss., and Buckner, Tex., and an electrical plant at Branchville, S. C. The new wood¬ working plants of the week are at Blakely, Macon and Moultrie, Ga., Jackson, Ky., and Hillsbero, N. O. Among enlargements are an ice mak¬ ing plant at Greenville, Tenn., a plan¬ ing mill at White Post, Ky., coke ov¬ ens at Big Stone Gap, Va., and creo- soting works at New Orleans, La. The new buildings of the week in¬ clude a $25,000 church building at Au¬ gusta, Ga., a six-story office building at Louisville, Ky., a $40,000 opera house at Lexington, Ky., a $5,000 res¬ idence at Chattanooga, Tenn., and nineteen residences and two store buildings at West Palm Beach, Fla. —Tradesman (Chattanooga, Tenn.) SYNDICATE DISSOLVING. Report that Several Big Banks Have Decided to Withdraw. There is a rumor that the Morgan bond syndicate has been shaken by the withdrawal from it of the Chemical National Bank. It is understood that the amount of the bank’s subscriptiou was $3,000,000. It is reported that the City National and possibly the United States Trust company and the Hanover National Bank will follow. It is reported that the amount of gold deposited by Hardy and Harman at the sub-treasury for examination np to date has reached $1,000,000 to $1,250,000. MANY LIVES LOST. feismic Disturbances Cause Much Damage in Persia. Two severe earthquakes, causing the ■ loss of 1,100 lives, have ocourredin the Khalhal district, Persia. The first shook was very severe. It completely destroyed the village of Zenzabad and partly destroyed other villages. Three days afterward there was another and . severe shock, which destroyed the i small town of Goi and did great dam- ! age in many of the villages in the dis- j trict aforesaid. Eight hundred Large per- j sons were killed in Goi alone. numbers of cattle and Bheep
