that opinion But the trouble Is altogether due to

HUMANE IDEAS.
The American Association Takes
Action A bout Cattle Cars.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 19.-The Ameri-
can Humane association resumed its session
this morning and Immediately took up the
question of transportation of cattle. A letter
from o. l.. Dudley. chief agent of the Hi
nois Humane society, calling attention to
the cruelty practiced in overlooking cars
and failing to feed cattle, was read. A
letter from Charles F. Adams of Boston
was also read in which he said the reason
why railroads oppose improved stock cars
Is because it involves the side-tracking of
A, 600 old-style cars. The only way the
evil can be remedied, he said, is
by congressional action. Mr.. Gordon Of
Milwaukee opposed cars which provided
for the feeding and watering of cattle
while in them. He favored taking cattle
out of cars while in transit, so they may
rest as well as be fed. A resolution was
adopted accepting the report of the COM
mittee on legislation, with the exception of
that part of it which refers to improved
cars and particular modes of transportation.
and directing the secretary to draft me
mortal to congress on the subject. The
question of humane education was then dis
cussed, and short papers from George I.
Angel of Boston and J. H. Peaslee of Gin
cinnati were read Rev. Mr.. Gordon, chair
man of the committee on branding cattle,
submitted report memorializing the cattle
mems convention to be held in this city

sidered and some plan which will infict the
least possible pain be devised. Committees
were appointed to draw up memorial reso-
lutions on the deaths of Earl SALISBURY,
Mrs. Lord of Buffalo and Samuel j. Lewick

BALTIMORE, Nov. 19.-Thomas Hance,

Hance shot her through the head. killing
her instantly. He was trying to escape on
board his boat, and had already changed
his clothing, when caught. He claimed
that the woman had shot herself. The

kHe is man of refined manners and
fine personal appearance, and apparently
about 55 years of age. While very reticent
concerning his history and noticeably retir-
ling in his disposition, he was much respected
Fin the community and considered a very
desirable acquisition. When arrested he
protested he was victim of a case of mis-

ments. These people who were thus figur-
ing had evidently forgotten about King
Caucus. 1t is easy to see, if the Republi-
cans caucus and bind all the Republican
members to follow certain line of action,
the Democratic minority will be unable to
accomplish anything in the way of con-
firmations that the Republicans do not
agree to. Just what proportion, or class of
cases the Republicans will permit to go
through unchallenged, is not yet determined.
1t is to map out a line of action in this re-
gard that the caucus is called. From what
can be gathered from among the senators
as they come in it is believed that there will
be larger share of cases put under party
ban than was at first believed. The Re-
publicans are evidently determined to do all
they can to annoy and worry President
Cleveland. This sort of thing they con-
slider legitimate warfare. Wherever the
tenure-of-office test can be successfully APP
piled, OF where the character, political or
personal, of appointees can be attacked,
there will probably be war.
