Martin Maginn,s is entering protes
At Washington to defeat the scheme of q
Colorado cattle syndicate which proposes
t' lease the reservation Of the Crow
Indians. The peope of the Territory are
Very much aroused about it. The Crow
l'iefs are quoted as saying that t:ey
signed the lease under threats that il
they refused their rations would be cut
nff. The reservation was visited a year
ago by Senate committee consisting of
Senators Vest, Dawes AMI others. who
recommended the purchase from the
Crows Of all the lands they did not need
and putting it into the market for actual
settlers. Secretary Teller also visited
the reservation and Endorsed the recon-
mendations of the committee of the
Senate. He is HOW suspected of wink

10 political promotion for himself, and
hereby may hang an untold tale.-Omaha

Will Drive Instead of Ship.

Grissy & Webaux, extensive ranch
men near Glendive, recently shipped
1000 head of young Iowa cattle by way
of the Milwaukee road to Glendale.
They drove the cattle overland to Bis
marck, where they intended to ship via
the Northern Pacific to Glendive, but
owing to the extravagant rates asked by
the Northern Pacific the cattle men
concluded to drive their stock to Mon
tana. They drove about a thousand
head through Mandan yesterday on
their way west, and the remaining 5000
will be driven through probably to-day
or to-morrow.-Mandan Pioneer.

Cattle Markets.

The condition of the live stock mar
kets last week was commented on by
the National Stockman as follows
1.-THE latest advices from the leading live
stock centers in the country furnish a
view of the market situation which may
be stated as follows: Cattle are a little
weaker in tone than a few days ago, but
desirable beef stock is sustaining a line
of prices which cannot be regarded as
otherwise than good. The views we ex-
pressed some weeks ago concerning the
course Of trade in choice cattle are being
strongly vindicated by the outcome.
Sales are made briskly in some weeks
and slowly in others. and there is, of
course, more or less variation in prices;
but the average of values for good grades
is certainly most excellent

Western Cattle in England.

Moreton Frewen, the cattle king who
last autumn advocated the plan of ship
ping cattle from this country through
Canada TO England, claiming that cattle
shipped by this healthy northern route
would not be restricted in British ports,
is now on his way back from England
where he has been working for his pet
object. Before leaving London he told
a reporter that he vas thoroughly salts
fed with the results of his mission, and
was confident that orders would soon be
issued to to admit Wyoming and Mon
tana cattle at British ports.

Texas Fever Among Cat9Ie.

CHICAGO, July 39.-The ARRIVAL of a
number oil sick cattle having been re-
ported at the. Union Stock yards in this
city, an examination was made by a
number Of Veterinary surgeons who are
not yet ready to submit an official report.
This fact is, however. they have agreed
that the disorder is the Texas fever,
superinduced by drinking water strong
ly impregnated with alkali. The cattle
have been securely quarantined and
isolated. Those in the lot that are un-
affected are to be slaughtered and sub
jected to inspection by the health de-
partment. Those that are unable to
recover are being shot, and those that are
droopy will be held in quarantine for
further developments.
Another train, consisting of IL cars,
containing 24O head Of cattle, arrived
this morning. They were branded the
same as the herd that was found to be
western Kansas. Fifteen were found
dead in the cars; So had been thrown
out dead on the way, and a great many
others were sick and had been trampled
on.
DR.. n. H.. Paaren, State veterinary
surgeon, has not made his official report,
but he asserts tonight that his investiga-
tons have developed the fact that these
cattle are afflicted with the splenic or
Texas fever.
Health Commissioner DeWolf, of this
city, cOncurs in this opinion, and ex-
hibits in his office the spleens and
kidneys of some of those cattle which
died, and they are found to exhibit
strongly marked signs of fever. On the
other hand many stock men and persons
familiar with the Texas fever, do not
believe it is that disease. They assert
that in all cases of Texas fever the
animals excreta are very hard, and the
same is in a measure true of sickness
from drinking alkali water, and that the
death in this instance could not have
resulted in either of these, as the excreta
believe that death was caused dy conges-
ton of the bowels, caused by drinking
too much water after a long thirsting,
and being over heated. The diseased
cattle belong to Frazier & Oberly, of
Kansas City, and are brought from their
ranch in the Indian territory. The
entire number received is $50, Of which
100 arrived this morning, and of this
number 1852 have died or been killed to
relieve them of their agony. Nine were
killed by the veterinary surgeon to-day,
and he says all showed signs of Texas
fever. The living members of the herd
are q%uarantined, and the pens in which
they are confined will not again be used
for cattle, but when emptIed will be
scrubbed, refloored and used for hogs.
The health department has charge Of
the entire drove, and the health COM
missioners undertake to say that the
meat of none of these animals will be
allowed to go to market while there is
the least danger. He has given permits
sion to the firm to which the herd is
consigned to sell none Of the infected
members of the herd, subject to inspec-
ton by the department after slaughter.
A small number were sold and slaughter
ed to-day, but as a matter of %precaution
they were not allowed to be put on the
market. It is said that twenty-five head
of these cattle were sold at Kansas City.

that tho Alexandria Ship Yard is a large debtor

to the present ship yard company. l deem it
therefore proper to say that the old company has
not operated the yard for moro than two years
