WORK began last Saturday on street car track upon Broadway. The matter has been fought in the courts to about the last extremity, but the night-and-day man. ner in which the work is being pushed in- dicates nervous fear of ,injunctions yet to come. During the first 24 hours track was laid from 14th to 9th street. The new line will be great nuisance on Broadway
 but will displace nuisance of scarcely lesser dimensions-the Broadway stages.

Springfield Republican The Indiana supreme court has rebuked an evasion of the law by the Indianapolis saloon-keepers which they have continued so long as to regard as their right. The state law pro- vides that saloons must close at II o'clock. The police of Indianapolis, agreed, how ever, not to prosecute dealers who closed at 12. A new police board was elected which determined to enforce the law, and had dealer fined for a sale occurring be- tween II and 12 o'clock. The dealer ap- pealed on the ground that the license of the previous police officers was justifca- tion of the sale, notion which the su- preme court promptly knocked to pieces. This appeal is fairly significant of the growing arrogance of the liquor traffic everywhere. Saloon-keepers control votes, and because of this they are allowed to make claims and attempt to enforce them which would not be tolerated for an in- stant ill any other class of law-breakers.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
Gladstone Holding Back One
for this Week.
The Premier Said to be Play
ing a Waiting Game.
Russia About to Gobble up the
Shah's Dominions.
The European War.

LONDON, April ls.-The prospect o.
peace may be delusive. Many experienced
diplomats entertain a firm conviction thai
the apparent truce is taken by England
merely to get a proper breach for effective
action. The very irmness with which
Gladstone makes his public statements,
and the cold, calculating exactness with
which he phrases his u~tternnces. all tend
to convince those who know the premier
well that he had determined upon a policy
which, no matter how surprising it may
be when announced, it will by no means
be n Of retrogression. Gladstone has
made some retreats during his ministry,
but he has always, on these occasions. be-
trayed himself by indecision and e~vasive.
ness in his parliamentary statements. 1t
is quite different with him now. To all
-interrogatories in the house of commons
during the past week the premier has
presented the very perfection of firmness
in reply where the questioner desired to
know something which the government
were not ready to confde to the public.
Gladstone has straightforwardly refused
to give the information and has plainly
based his refusal upon public policy. In
nearly every other case the liberal leader
has been frank to his constituents, fair
to his opponents, and unimpassioned and
truthful to the Russians. Gladstone ap-
pears to have his entire case in hand,
seems to be unembarrassed by the pros
poets, and undoubtedly has the full sym
pathy and cooperation of his entire cabi-
net. As a sporting man states it, 'Glad-
stone is playing a waiting game and
knows all the cards p
1t would appear from all this that the
premier has another coup de theater pre-
pared for next weeks vote of credit day.
Hence, although all surface indications
warrant the statement that the prospect
is n of peace. the only description Of
the actual situation which can be given
us literally accurate is contained in the
statement: ''The situation is practically
unchanged. Of course such a statement
is rather %oraeula, but so is the situation,
for no n outside the cabinet seems 10

A Divorced Couple Concludes to Try 1t
Over Again.

Some months ago a certain man who
lived at Rawlins, who was connect
ed with the Wind river stage line,
but who is now engaged in ranching in
this county, lost his head in the giddy
whirl of the society of Carbon county.
1t is alleged that he rebelled at the monot-
ony of life beneath the shadow of the
rocky buttes at Rawlins, and so sought ex-
citemeut at the lair of the tiger and
amidst the haunts of stallion poker. At
any rate he became one of the "bhoys,"
and domestic revolution followed.
One fine day his wife awoke to a real
ization of the fact that he was steadily
going broke and her relations to cur
rent events at once doomed into promi-
hence. She swooped down on him with
a paper and a gentle, but significant, de
mand. The paper was a deed and con-
vcyed to her the home they had occupied;
the demand was for his seal and signature
where they would do the most good. Ten
minutes later she owned the property.
Proceedings for n divorce came on
apace, and in due time the matrimonial
knot wal cut with a clip Of the judicial
shears. Since that time the two have
gone their respective ways, but somehow
their paths met in this city last evening,
and now-well the old love has come
back, and the two trails will probably
again blend into one.
The lady has recently been visiting in
the east and last night alighted from the
train on her way home. The eN~-husband
was at the depot They met, Il greeting
followed. a tender kiss made the modest
baggage smasher blush and actually
frightened a timid hack driver. Then
they went away arm in arm. For various
modest reasons we will leave them at a
hotel, happy in their new love, or their
old love, or their new old love. Another
marriage ceremony will probably be Ter
formed soon and the past will be buried
far beneath the accumulations of memo.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-1he commits
sioner of agriculture to-day issued the
following: MY attention has recently
been directed to the fact that various
states and territories have prohibited the
introduction OF Texas cattle because Of the
alleged danger that they will communi-
cate a fatal disease to the native cattle of
such states and territories. Such prohi-
bition is very detrimental to the cattle in
dustry of the whole state of Texas. and l
am informed by the chief OF the bureau
of animal industry and by many others
acquainted with the subject, that the cat
tie from a considerable part of the state
do not communicate such diseases and are
not sources of danger to the cattle of
other states" Therefore, to secure re-
liable and abundant information as to the
limits of that portion Of Texas from
which cattle may be safely taken to other
states, without restriction, the commits
sioner requests the eattlemen Of the
various grazing counties in Texas to send
answers to the questions appended:
LIST. Have you purchased any bulls or
other cattle, or do you know of any that
have been brought from north of the
south line of Kansas to your vicinity, or
to any part of any of the counties named?
If so state the number, location as near as
possible to which they were taken, and
number, if any, which died of acclimati-
zation fever,
2nd. Do you know of any case in
which cattle from the counties of Texa,
have been taken to the counties named in
the spring or summer months and al
lowed to pasture on the same ranges with
cattle native to those counties If 80,
state if any disease occurred among the
native cattle, and give symptoms and
number effected as far as possible.
Tbs commissioner adds: IF the cattle
men of the district referred to unite il
sending the information at once, it II
hoped that it will be possible to secure
modification ofthe restrictions now placed
upon the Texas cattle trade to such an ex
tent as to bring great relief.

Russia After Persia.

LONDON, April ls.-The Spectato,
says that after clutching Herat Russia
will be almost certain to turn her atten-
ton to Persia and attempt to SECURE con-
troll Of the shah's dominions by combined
attack from Armenia and the Khanates.
The possession Of such a fertile country as
Persia, situated SO favorably, the Spectd-
tor thinks, would be most valuable to
Russia in any aggressive movement south
ward. The only disadvantage which the
possession would entail upon Russia
would arise from her subsequent exposure
to attack from the sea, her seclusion from
which has hitherto been a source Of great
securitv. |tr"." m

A AND STYLISH.
FAT and STYLISH.
The Things Required at the
Chicago Market.
Suckers and Feeders are Gen
orally Neglected.
Dealers Lose Money and Buy
ers Also Grumble.

special TO THE LFADER.
CHICAGO, April ls.-The cattle market
during the past week has been unsettled
and though quotations have held up
pretty well the feeling has been easier.
This was especially so at the start,
when trading was slow and bids fully 10
cents lower. The usual number of east
ern buyers were present, but there was a
general inclination to buy cheaper. and as
the supplies we're pretty liberal it looked
as though buyers would gain their point.
Later, considerable activity developed and
everything that could be safely sent east
was in demand Style and fat were what
purchasers were looking for. Thin and
coarse animals remained slumpy. Alto
gether there has seldom been so much ir-
regularity. Good authorities even diff
fered in quoting the market from a shade
stronger to 10 cents lower.
On inferior to fair cows and mixed lots
it was difficult to work up much COMPETE
ton as supplies were large and the de-
mand very light. There was a fair in
quiry from Gamer and butchers for me-
dunn to choice cows and bulls and feshy
little steers, and these ruled about steady.
Old straw COWS and scrubs generally were
under neglect and only salable at shaded
prices.
Stockers and feeders were quiet. Some
country buyers were looking about. but
they were unwilling to pay the prices.
Yard dealers did not appear inclined IN
do anything, having been so badly bitten
as to make them timid. Hence sales
were slow. though in the aggregate a fair
mount of business was transacted.
As the week advanced, supplies were
rather large, and included a pretty fair as
sortment of the various grades of ship
ping cattle. The attention of purchasers
was principally directed to light and
medium weight lots. Heavy stock was.
to a certain extent, neglected. but there
was not so much of il as TO render ii
necessary for sellers to make any conces-
sions. Prices ruled about 5(dllOc lower
on lean and rough cattle. and steady on
the desirable kinds. shippers and dressed
beef men both looking for the latter.
No important change was developed in
the market for butchers stock. Desirable
lots were salable at steady rates, and the
poorest of the offerings showed no de-
cline Fat, well-bred COWS and heifers
were wanted, but Others moved slug
gishly.
Stockers and feeders did not meet with
much attention. The general market was
dull and unsatisfactory, not only to sales
men, but to buyers as well. While deal
ers have lost much mone,- in handling

Lord ChurohiIIs oninion

LONDON, April ls.-In a speech at to-
nights banquet of the Primrose league.
Lord Randolph Churchill declared that if
the present debates with Russia have
showed a failure on orr part to oppose,
once for all, her hostile designs on our
rule in India, they will receive a mental
blow. The deadly decepitude which fell
on the old Hindoo and Mogul empires
will fall on England, and the humiliation
of our power will be only a question OF
time. A toast to the memory of Lord
Beaconsield was drunk in solemn silence.
