f Inquiry.
LONDON, July 9.-The chief director Of
the Pal AaH Gasetts's secret inquiry COM
mission, through which revelations were
obtained, writes concerning the whole
matter as follows: The investigation be-
gan on May q, and. the work was unre-
hitting to date. The commission had
valuable assistance from the Salvation
Army, from the London committee for
the suppression Of the traffic in English
girls, and from the vast experience Of Mrs.
Josephine Butler. The committee was
composed OF members Of the Coates
staff, and acted independently Of the po-
lice.
b The Home Office deprecated on official
grounds allowing journalists to interview
the police. The commission applied TO
the archbishop Of Canterbury, the bishop
Of London and Cardinal Manning for adj
vice and these great authorities on morals,
while deprecatiug the risk involved in the
commissions task, all warmly supported
It's object. Ready help was accorded to
the commission from Catholic and Con-
eregational clergymen, also from the
Miners Joint Protection Committee, the
White Ribbon Army, the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children, the
London City Mission, the Reformatory
Refuge, the Union Rescue Society, the

BRoxxN ARROW, Ala, July 0.-A de
plorable state Of llwlessness exists in st
Clair county, which is known as "dry"
county, and has a large mining popula,
ton. 1t was hoped that the prohibition
Of the liquor traffic would work a reform
alton, but in this hope the people have
been disappointed. Among the casualties
occurring within short time past are the
following: Three weeks ago Richard Lewis
quarreled with the cook of the Broken
Arrow Hotel. The cook was subsequent
ly found dead, having been SHOT. He was
buried quietly, almost stealthily, and no
effort was;made to discover the cause Of
death or punish the guilty parties.
A week later, at Rayland, near here,
two farmers were riding quietly along the
road, when they suddenly found them
selves among q shower OF shot, and 1t was
only by marvellous chance that they es-
capped assassination. Last week, at Lock
Four, q party OF men were gambling, when
one OF the men named Anderson shotan
killed companion who refused to pay
when he lost. Saturday night, at Broken
Arrow Hotel, a man named Lewis was
driven out with pistol bullets whixzing
after him. AT Lock Four on the gov
eminent works the "Blind Tigers" are
openly run, and from this results much OF
the lawlessneas. Gambling is in full blast
in many places. Ia all these violations
no steps have been taken by the authors
ties for the protection Of lie or property.
Strange to say, though this is a temper
ancs county the disorders grow out Of
whisky entirely. Prominent liquor deal.
es in Rome, Ga, have established what is
called "jug line" In this way large
quantities Of whisky are conveyed into the
county, marked merchandise and taken
to .oIiacure places, where the men get
drunk and murder often follows. Efforts
are being made to get the State authori-
ties to act In the matter. ~

CATTLE RAISING IN NEVADA.
Some Practical Statements and
~ldeas-rhe Possibilities of she
State MOI Appreciated.

wa unprecedented
Said a prominent cattleman on Main
street yesterday: 1.-THE cattle interest is
growing in this State, and before many
years the proportions it will assume will
be surprising. It is my belief that every
cattlcman will own his range, and then
there will be an end to all this talk Of
those in the business occupying Govern
mont lands to the exclusion of others. The
best lands in the State are now being pur-
years these tracts will all be sold, and
then a new price will be established for
the mountains and canyons. 1t ia my be.
lief they will be sold for 25 cents an acre.
IL will not justify them to pay more and
pay yearly taxes on g valuation greater
than that. After cattlemen acquire such
title to their ranges then will this matter
of sowing seeds OF grass that grow in arid
sections when once started rightly will be
looked into and experimental on. The
local article you published IN the Sen
TISEL last week, advising those having
wild lands in connection with their
ranches, TO SOW during the wet season
such seed, so that the same can get well
rooted before next Summer, WAS timely
and will no doubt cause many to study
the matter and experiment. Something
of the kind will have to be done in order
to allow the State to become populous.
There is no doubt in my mind but that the
mining industry, Notwithstanding the pro-
portions it has assumed and the hundreds
of millions OF dollars that have been pro-
duced, Is yet in its infancy in Nevada, and
this. coupled with the possibilities about
us for cattle, sheep and bog raising. and q
hundred other minor callings-why, if /
