TEE TEXAS CATTLE RANGES.
Loss Of Ranchmen During the Winter-The
Business Largely 0verdone.

ST. LOUIS, March 18-Amos T. Atwater, SEQ
retary of the National Cattle and Horse growers
Association, who has been making a tour of
Texas in the interest of that association, re-
turned to-day. He reports great diversity of
opinion regarding the losses sustained by cattle
men in Texas during the past winter, they being
variously placed at from to 10 per cent His
own estimate is to 9per cent The winter was
the most severe ever known in Texas, and the
drifting of cattle was very great 1t is
estimated that fully 100000 cattle drifted
southwark, and are now in the vicinity Of Devils
run, and in the Pecos river country. Roundup
parties have already been started for that Sec
tion but owing to the poor condition of the cat
tie, it will require much time and careful driving
to bring them back. The closing of the old trail
north will compel owners to throw much Of their
surplus stock on the market this season, which
no doubt will depress prices
1t is beyond question that the Texas ranges are
overstocked. Last year, at this time, over
81, Coo 600 worth of contracts We're held by Texas
ranchmen, but this year, they have not single
contract. Mr.. Atwater thinks free grazing in
Texas is about over. In the near future stock
raisers will have to pasture their herds on theic
own lands and cultivate ground enough for fod
der to carry their cattle through winter.
Mr.. Atwater attended all meetings of cattle
associations held while he was in the State, and
was assured that the next national convention
will be very largely attended One good result
already noticed as growing out of the convention
of last year is that the chief of the bureau of
statistics is gathering statistics in regard to cat
tles and the range cattle men generally seemed
to be hopeful of better times and were ON the
qui vive for everything new in connection with
their industry

Creelman's Prospects Growing Dim and the
Enemy Pushing Him vigorously.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGfoN, March ia raid is being
made upon Frank Creelman's dim prospect of
appointments to the postmastership at Indiana
polls.
State Senator Bailey and some others are
protesting against Creelmans nomination, and
his enemies say tonight that if he ever had any
chances they have gone glimmering. On the
contrary, Creelman's friends claim that he may
yet be postmaster, as he has the sympathy Of
both Villas and the President.
Tonight ex-senator Mcdonald took dinner
with President Cleveland and spent several
hours with him, and it is believed that he may,
If the subject is broached advise the President
to follow the wishes of Representative Bynum,
which would be in the direction of help for
Creelman. Many men here from Indiana still
hold that Mr.. Jones will be the successful can
didate Tie nomination may go to the Senate
any day now, and it is expected by Friday.

CITY," said gentleman who has been promi
nently identified with civil-service reform since
its inception. 1.-THE term of Postmaster Pear
son expires on the 22d inst. Pearson has so

nifty of two thirds Of his subordinates, and at
the same time he has secured the good will of
every business man in New York city. The
business men want him retained. The poll
ticians wanthis place. If he is to go, who shall
succeed hint That is the question which has
given the President an endless amount Of
trouble. First delegation of the organization
known as the New York County Democracy
came over to see about it. Then Few stragglers
from Irving Hall followed, and last Tammany,
with warpaint and feathers, took the war-path.
The County Democracy hag control Of nearly
everything in New York at present. Tammany
is out. The President cannot afford to ignore
Tammany and recognize either of the other or
ganizations, as such an act would bring about
certain defeat next fall 1t would be the same
If Tammany got the office; hence you may look
to see Pearson reappointed to prevent a split,
and, in my opinion, nonresident of New York
city will succeed Robertson. Dan Lockwood's
chances are best, and, in spite of his refusal of
an unproffered office, think he will get It."

WASHINGTON March 1S-The rush of office
seekers has, in measure, subsided, and peace
reigns at the White House in consequence.
Aspirants and their friends have learned that
Cleveland does not mean to dismiss every Re-
publican Office holder during the first three
months of his administration; still it must not
be supposed that the capital is entirely free from
the presence of those gentlemen who have an
aching desire to serve the country for good pay.
There are lots of them hers still, and they are
of the class that stick. They are persistent,
and not disposed to take hints. These gentle
men seem to have an idea that the civil offices
of the government, in some way, come under
the homestead or preemption law. and that
the first man on the ground Is
the most likely to be successful In

be encamped opposite the Afghan outposts at
Aktepeh.
At the Carlton Club it was said to night that
the acts of NJ. de Giers and the Russian COM
manders in the field were quite reconciliable
with the Cars widely quoted assertion that he
had no idea Of declaring war. Without any
such declaration, Russia is calmly edging her
way into Afghanistan. and to quote the Gar

zation, and not by force" To declare war
woulds be to assume responsibility for vast
amount of bloodshed. 1t is much simpler and
more civilized to quietly occupy the coveted
territory and keep the English amused by
diplomacy. Whenever England has called a
halt, Russia has replied: Certainly, gentle
men," but if any orders to halt have been sent TO
Gen. Komarof, they have apparently got lost on
the way.

Terms of the Agreement Entered Into by the
Guaranteeing Powers.
LONDON March l8-Mr Childers, Chancellor
Of the Exchequer, in the Commons, said the
Egyptian financial agreement signed recently,
guaranteed q loan of $45, ,00O, 900, to be used in
lifting the Egyptian debt The guarantee of
this loan by the other powers does not confer
any right to interfere with England's internal
administration of Egyptian affairs. The loan is
to be liquidated by the payment of 81, SIS, 600
annually, this sum to constitute first charge
against the Egyptian revenues until the entire
loan is lifted. The normal annual expenses
of she Egyptian government are fixed
at the gross sum of $26, 185, 600.
This includes 81, 900, 900 for maintaining an army
Of occupation. All foreigners resident in Egypt
will be taxed An exhaustive investigation will
be made into the revenue-earning capacity of
Egypt, and while this inquiry is in progress
there will be a per cent reduction of interest
on Suez canal shares. The agreement also en-
powered the Khedive, in the event of the ne
cessity of further reductions during the inquiry,
to summon an international commission to make
them. The interest on the loan is guaranteed
not to exceed 81 per cent If any default in the
payment of principal or interest should occur,
each guaranteeing power is answerable.

Two Men Cut to Pieces with Knives and the
Bodies Thrown on Railway Track.
DUBLIN, March Is There is great excitement
on the line Of the Cork & Bandon railway, to-day,
occasioned by finding the bodies of two men,
frightfully hacked to death with knives and then
thrown across the tracks to be mangled beyond
recognition. The tragedy is shrouded in mys-
terry, but the police theory is that the men were
passengers olNa train and were murdered for
the purpose of robbery, their assailants having
secured seats in the compartment with their
victims, and that the latter. after having been
fatally stabbed, Were thrown out of the car to be
run over by another train.
A later dispatch says the mystery has been
solved. It appears that four men who had been
celebrating ST Patrick's Day, at Cork, started
to walk home along the line of the railway. All
were drunk, and fought desperately with knives
Two were killed. and the survivors, though
badly cut, managed to drag the dead bodies on
the railway track. The survivors were arrested

Washington Special.
The point which the Southern men are endeav-
oring to make against the civil service regula-
tions-namely, that these regulations 'dsfran-
chise all ex-confederate solders"-is not o fair
one The proper way to put the distinction, Of
course, is that the regulations exclude from COM
petition for positions in the postofice any Amer
ican citizen over thirty Ave years Of age, and
under the Treasury any American citizen over
forty five years of age, with the exception only
of honorably discharged Union soldiers and sail
ors who are otherwise qualified. These ex-
ceptions, which give an honorable recognition to
the Union soldier and sailor, were embodied in
the federal statutes long before there was any
civil-service law, and no ono in either party
has ventured to gainsay their propriety.
No Northern man who was not in the
federal army. and honorably discharged, who
was more than eleven years of age when the war
began can be admitted to any position in the post
al service, OF whowas more than twenty one years
of age when the war began can be admitted to any
position under the Treasury Department, any
more than any Southern man under Ike condl-
tions can be. The ex-confederates, therefore,
will seek in vain to find any sectional dlstnctQu
in the ciyil-serv regulations, save and exeepk
the distinction which runs through most all
federal legislation. that service in the Union
army or navy is q badge of honor. There is io
other provision upon the statute books which
