We would advise the farmers to
save their cane this year for seed.
There is very little cane in the
country and unless it is saved and
sold for seed the crop will be short
again another year, Besides,
those vino have the seed to sell,
can make more money in that way
than by grinding it up into syr-

ANOTHER FIGHT IN CHINA.
Three Gunboats Give the Chinese
Taste of Grape.

PARIS, Oct. 6.-Au official dispatch has
been received from BAG Mini to the effect
that three French gunboats, while cruising
north on the BAG Mini river, discovered
camp of 1000 Chinese regulars, and lnme-
diately opened fire upon them. The Chinese
were totally unprepared TO defend their po-
sition against an attack by heavy guns, hay
ing but slight brush works thrown up, which
were easily RACED, leaving them fully ex-
posed to raking fire Of grape and shrapnel
from the gunboats, which moved down
large numbers and created panic in their
ranks causing them to flee in all directions.
The French loss is stated at one killed and
thirty-oue wounded while the Chinese loss is
great.
PARIS, Oct. 6-Gen. DeliSle sends dis
patch stating that upon hearing that Chinese
troops between Bacle and Langson were
moving forward he took measures necessary
to drive them back to their gunboats. A
brilliant engagement ensued, 1900 Chinese
troops beiug pitted against him. Com
mander Chalie, of the Massue, was killed in
the fight. When the dispatch was sent the
Chinese were steadily being driven back,
having lost heavily.
PARIS, Oct 6.-The Telegraphe says it has
received information that the government
intends shortly to recall Admiral Courbet
from China, and, therefore, has instructed
him to destroy the Chinese feet, in the event
Of the capture of Kelung failing to cause
China to submit to the French demands

A French experimenter, Mons. J.
Fischer, has given an interesting ac-
count of observations on Monkeys, es-
pecially Macucus rhesus. One of these
animals, having been frightened at
seeing gun discharged ut some spar
rows. extended his fear to the toy piss
toll suspended from his masters watch
chain. and even to the figure of u re-
volver illustrating an armorer's cat
aiogue. Several species of monkeys
recognize pictures of animals-a proof
of the superiority Of their intelligence
over that of dogs and elephants. The
rhesus knew the names of some sixty
or seventy animals confined in cages
in the same room; he could fully
understand the expression Of the
human countenance, could estimate,
weights, and had certain-though
not strong-sense of number.

The COWBOY of Florida.

Visiting the stores for the sake of
provisioning the craft, the principal
business of Fort Myers was at once dis
cernible from the array of saddles and
brides exhibited. Around this point,
and from many prairie and jungle In
the neighborhood, cattle are brought
in for shipment to Punta Rassa, to be
sent from thence to Key West and
Cuba. 4 good many gaunt lads,
lounging around In high boots, with
jingling spurs, showed the peeHliari-
ties of their calling, for they were the
cowboys of this region. ! doubt
whether the cowboy of the west is re-
cruited entirely from the country
where he herds or drives his cattle, but
the Floridiap cowboy is indigenous to
the soil. Hard work and plenty OF it,
at times with poor food; facilitating
climate and many mosquitoes haFe
made them tieshless. Driving cattle
in the west is certainly no child's play,
but in this portion of Florida the task
must be a particularly difficult one
from the nature of the country. 10

try in quest of q ''bunch' of cattle
must endanger their aecks: Through
the palmetto cabbages. through the
thick tangle of vines, across the DOGGY
flats, driving into the pine thickets' the
soil burrowed by gophers, the cettle'
hunter spurs his horse. Perhaps 1t Is
the mount which ought to be pitied as
much as any of the animals, the horse,
the boy, or the bull. Western horses
barely stand the hard work, and ire
used up 10 q season. Anything X =

very short order. The horse w. III
for the work is the small. scrubby ami
NAL born and bred in Florida. He
seems to be capable of withstanding
any amount of hard service Certainly,
the Florida cattle of this section are
the poorest specimens of the bovine
race known. They present, save about
their legs, few traces OF merit. Having
not much weight to carry, thair speed
is, for short burst, enough to blow a
horse. Fancy cattle whose live weight

HIS LITTLE BROAD.AX.
The journalistic Potentate Who
Rules The New York Herald
Goes Into an Examination of His
Papers Affairs, and Comes Out
Cory with Fifty.Eight
Official Scalps.

NEW YORK Oct. 6-Siuce the return OF
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett that gentleman
has devoted his odd moments to his bust
ness in manner that has surprised good
many of his employees. A couple of weeks
ago he made a wholesale sweep in The Herald
city department, by which nineteen reporters
were dismissed, and the salaries of those re-
manning Were established upon weekly basis.
By this what is known as space work" was
almost entirely done away within The Herald
office. There was also a "Shaking-up" of ed
itorS and other office men. 1t was believed
that, this cyclone passed. there would follow
protracted period of quiet, but 1t appears
that it was but the overture music that was
then played. During his absence in Cali
fornia, in company with Mr.. Nerdhof
and Mr. Flynn Mr.. Bennett has evil
IDENTIFY improved his time in getting at
q correct idea of tho condition of things
in his Office here. Friday be let his AK
fall, and as a result thirty-nine editors, re-
porters, ard employees i'll the mechanical de-
partment were decapitated. OF these, many
were engaged upon The Telegram. Only
three editors of that paper are left to tell the
tale of the lawful avalanche that over
whelmed their associates. Altogether MIR.
Bennett has within three weeks dismissed
tifty-eight editors, reporters, and other en-
ployes.
An idea of the general sweep may be gath
cred by instancing one dismissal made Fri
day The gentleman who had charge of the
ship news department, on which The Herald
has for years prided itself as being the most
complete of any paper in the world, was
among those turned adrift. He had been on
The Herald thirty-one years. The notlhca-
ton he received was to the effect that his
services were no longer required after
this day" and the others were served
in the same summary manner 1t IS
said that Mr. Rowland, who for years has
been the general manager of the paper, rep
resenting Mr. Bennett in all departments, is
also on the tenter-hookS and expects to be let
out.
There are various reasons assigned tor THIS
move on Mr.. Benefits part. One, which IS
more generally discussed than any other, Is
that The Herald has for many months
been falling away in circulation 1t
is stated on the authority of an employe
who went ouC with the procession of thirty
nine that The Herald'S circulation has shrunk
little over 10 per cent. When it is remem-
bered that The Journal, two years old, has
over O.OOO and that The World has in
creased from almost nothing to 10000, it
must be conceded that these are not alto
gether new readers, but must have been
drawn from some other source, and that
somebody must have suffered by their gain.

A Decision Which Gives the Govern

A Decision Which Gives the Governs
ment Some Chance in Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 6.--Judge Zane
Friday overruled the demurrer to the indict-
ment of Rudger Clawson for polygamy, who
based his claim only to the exclusion of men
from the grand jury on account of being
Mormons. The gist of the opinion is
in these words: That the man who
believes in the right to commit the
crime he is called upon to try
can not be an impartial juror in the trial of
that man, as he should not be influenced by
such motive; that if man believes, for in
stance-a man called as a juror to try man
for murderif he believes the man had
right to commit the murder he is not
competent juror, because lie will be infiu-
enced by that belief Or if the man is charged
with robbery, if a juror who tries him be-
ieyes in the right of the man to commit
the robbery, he is not a fit man to try
that man. Neither is he in a case Of bigamy,
or polygamy, for if man believes in the
right to practice polygamy, in a polygamy
case he can not be an impartial juror accord
ing to all human experience. He can not be
an impartial juror on a trial of that kind,
because conviction with him denies the right
of practicing polygamy. Notwithstanding all
human laws to the contrary, if he believes
polygamy is command, or law
proclaimed by the Almighty, it
makes no difference how many
human laws are passed, he will still
believe that polygamy is right, because he
thinks higher law is governing him. Now,
congress intended to exclude this class of
men from participating in the duties Of
jurors, from acting either as grand jurors or
petit jurors. This is the base of the principle
stated. This is the reason, suppose, this
law was passed. Now, as to custom, if this
law were simply to apply to the petit jury
and not to the grand jury, it would certainly
defeat the purpose of the law, and in my
Judgment would be contrary to the letter as
well. am of the opinion that the letter and
spirit of this law both agree: and therefore,
am of the opinion that these jurors, by their
answers, were properly excluded, and could
not have been otherwise under this law with
out disregarding it,"
John w. Young, son of Brigham, Friday
demurred to the Indictment against him for
polygamy. The jury charged him with
more than one offense-the marriage of two
polypa NOUS wives,
