WESTERN CATTLE FOR ENGLAND.
The Projects of Mr.. Frewen for Shipping
Live Stock Across the Ocean, to BE Fat
tened and Killed There.

CHICAGO, Special Telegram, March Morton
Frewen, at the head Of the largest English cat
tie syndicate in the West, controlling an inn
mense territory in Montana, was seen by re-
porter at the Leland hotel last evening. The
gentleman's scheme has been TO ship Montana
live stock by rail, lake and ocean to England
and then fatten for this market. His first idea
was to send them by the Canadian Pacific rail-
way through Canada, but the dominion author
to Duluth, thence to Buffalo through
the lakes and from there by rail
and steamer via New York Both of these were,
however dependent upon the procurement Of
the development of The Animal contsgion act
now in force in England, and to the abrogation
of which lie has been giving his time and atten-
ton tor months past Mr.. Frewen has
brought the matter to the anttention of
the prigv council and anticipates that whenever
political change Is made and England settles
down to a season Of comparative quiet, action
Will then be taken and the repeal of the bill
secured. In the meantime Mr. FTemen is busy
with another project that he is carrying on
successfully Patching cattle, in his opinion, is
LARGELY question Of artificial warmth, combi-
natlcn of feeding and shelter, and acting on this
theory he has established large stables at Su-
reriUr Cioy, selecting this point because lumber
could be procured at nominal price
and grain at as low inquire as
anywhere in the country 10 this
place he ships the four-year Odds
from the MOntanl range and put them into con-
dition for the Eastern market And right here
Choago is given the 90 by. Mr.. Frewen says
that the stock yards and market here are largely
controlled By corporations, which set
their own price, and any other OUT
let is preferable If it can be found.
This is secured by way of the lake
to Buffalo, the latter being made distributing
point if necessary. Cattle can be shipped from
Duluth by the lake route at the rate of $50
per head or about two=thirds less than by
way OF Chicago, also avoiding the shrinking
and bruising inevitable to long journey
by rail He is investing a large amount
of money in this scheme, and looks forward 70
success. II it comes, his example will be fol-
rod and in NJ hap no

The could QUO warranto Suits.

ST LOUIS, Mo, March 1.-Gov John c.
Brown. general solicitor of the Gould rail-
road system in an interview says that the
quo warranto suits instituted III the Missouri
supreme court against Jay Gould and asso-
ciates for violation of a constitutional pro-
vision prohibiting common control of paral-
lei railroad lines were inspired by President
Plant. of the Southern Express company,
to compel Gould to admit that company to
express privileges over the Southwestern
Gould system at Plants own terms. The
Southern Express some time since was put
off the Iron Mountain road, al d Plant at
once commenced suit which he won This
and two other suits are now pending on APP
peal to the United States supreme court
The Gould counsel refused TO agree to
a continuance, whereupon the quo war
ranto proceedings were begun, TO force
a compromise Speaking for Gould, Gov.
Brown says that there will be no compromise
made, but If the federal court decides that
the Southwestern system must admit Plant S
company the Pacific express will at once
invade all the territory of the Plant com
pany. He denies that there is any pan allel-
ism between the Missouri Pacific, Missouri,
Kansas q Texas and Iron Mountain, and de-
cares that there can be no violation OF the
constitution as long as the maximum rates
of transportation fixed by law are observed
Hence the quo warranto suits cannot stand

There are moro public hacks and car
riages in Mexico than in any other CITY
in the world in proportion to its popu.
lation, and few cities have worse pave
n hts. Most of the vehicles are coupes
bnt there are o few yictorias There
are no hansoms. The public carriages
are all under police regulation, and the
rates are fixed by law, according to the
condition OF the vehicle and the horses
Each carriage has a small tin flag at
tached to the top. A green flag means
that you have to pay dollar and half
an hour, for the carriage is new and
the horses are good, and the harness is
handsomely trimmed. A blue flag
means dollar an hour, with little less
style; white flag, seventy-five cents IN
hour, and red flag, fifty cents. The
latter class are about the toughest-look-
ing outfits that can be found anywhere.
The City of Mexico has an excellent
police system. At night there is a
policemen at every corner. He never
patrols the streets, but has a lantern
which he sets in the centre of the in
tersecting streets, and then re-
tires to convenient doorway
and sits silent until relieved.
As consequence there is a row OF
lanterns in the middle of every street.
Each policeman carries a club and
revolver and wears a blanket around
his sholders. The roundsmen who patrol
the streets are mounted, and carry car
bines and sabres, looking like cavalry
men. One of the most curious features
of Mexican life is the manner of con-
Quoting funerals. Some of the funeral
professions go to the cemetery on the
street cars, coffin and all The poorest
people, who cannot pay for carriages or
even street-car fare, carry their dead
through the streets on their shoulders,
and borrow or hire a coffin for the occa-
sion. When the cemetery is reached
and the obsequies are over, the body is
transferred to box, if the friends are
able to buy one, or wrapped in blan-
ket, and the coffin is returned to its
owner. The scarcity of wood makes
collins expensive. 1t is the custom to
set photographs Of the dead in the grave
stones. Some of the tombs in the
fashionable cemeteries are very expen-
sive, the beautiful Mexican onyx being
used in the most lavish manner.

The authorities Of France lave ret

The authorities of France have recent
" published the secret papers of Leuis
Napoleon. found in the Tuilleries after
his flight. They are a startling revela-
tion of imperial greed and rascality.
A note of the sums paid by Louis Napo-
leon to one Of his mistresses, Miss How
ard. shows that between March "A,
1858. and January l, 1856. she received
S1,1O0,0OO A few weeks later she
writes for $500, 600 more. Other fe-
male favorites received enormous sums.
The enormous sum of fourteen millions
of dollars was absorbed, in the language
of the official report, without any util-
ity for the country by the family of
those who have led the French to Leip-
zig, to Waterloo, and to Sedan" And
this tremendous total loss does not IN
clude certain hundreds of thousands
of francs annually pocketed for an I'M
known number of years" Here, alto
gether. is SIS, 200, 600 consumed by
Louis Napoleon and his family, and all
additional TO any official salaries or 9th
err legitimate earnings received by
them from the Government. Nor does
this SIS, 600 900 include the stealings of
Napoleon's fayorites and aecomphees.

imperialism of any sort Is secuted BY the
people of France at the present time.

The Florida Orange.

An enthusiastic correspondent of tho
Iowa State Register, now on his first
visit to Florida, writes;
1t does not seem to me that this land
is properly named Florida 1t is not q
land of flowers, as one may see at this
season, and, as residents say, the same
is true of the whole year. But if it had
been called Orangia then one could
see the propriety of the name. Or
anges on all the trees in the front
yards and rear yards, in all the or
chards, on the cars, on the boats, in the.
markets, on the tables and in.
the hands of all who wish TO eat
cheaply. Oranges everywhere. And
such oranges Delicious Full of nee
tar If the old gods Of mythology had
such drink as is in the heart of Flori
da orange, fresh from the tree, they
had better than they deserved, Judging
them by their characters as laid down
in the books.
The way to eat Florida orange ripe
from the tree, is to choose russell one,
mellow it with the thumbs as we boys
used to do with apples; with a sharp
knife cut the stem and core at once, APP
ply the mouth to the opening, shut the
ewes and suck. Ye gods Has this
poor earth anything better? A few,
perhaps, but not many. The Florida
orange has one fault, as what good thing
earthly has not? The bottom has gone
out of the market The crop is
so abundant, and the weather north
so cold that shippers are in despair.
Something must be done to get the
fruit to the hands and mouths of the
consumers quickly and cheaply or the
grower can realize nothing, and
in that case he must starve or bor-
row, for almost all he eats--except
oranges-must come from the frozen
North. 1t is astonishing to hear those
in the business tell how much of the
living of man and beast must be
brought from the North, from the land
of cyclones in summer and blizzard's in
winter, still, the land that gives its peo-
pie the best and most varied diet of any
people under the sun. advise any en-
thusiast, thinking to come TO Florida
for home, place to earn his bread,
and to rear his children, TO think q
great many times, AMI to study well all
the aspects of the case before making
auv decision.

President Elliot of Harvard college
in a late paper on the elective system IN
college studies says the average Amer
lean boy could go to college at the age
of eighteen. He can select for himself
a better course of study than any col
lege faculty can map out for him. The
result of President Elliots own obser-
vations in the elective system of studies
MS watched by him for nine years, ex-
tending from 1854 to 1863, was that
students always select more theoretical
and practical merit for his case than any
curriculum prescribed in his college
DAYS. Under the elective system great
majority of students select some par
ticular subject and wisely devote the
greater part of their time to it. Pres
idents of other colleges strongly oppose
the elective system and stick to the dead
languages as absolutely essential to col
lege education.

q lecture IN Washington a few evenings
ago on The Implied Powers of Consti-

general welfare clause. He opposed
liberal construction of the phrase and
held that it meant the general welfare"
of the United states, not of individuals
or of localities. This phrase has been
stretched enormously in recent years
to cover appropriations for all sorts of
purposes not bearing on the general
welfare. 1t is usually designated as the
''blanket clause and has heretofore been
made to cover multitude of sins" es-

California is one of the States nearly
out of debt According to the report
of the state controller for the biennial
period ending June 30, 1884, the total
debt Of the commonwealth of California
was So, 203, 800, of which $513, 500 was
in private hands, the balance being
held in trust in the state treasury for
school and university funds, etc. The
constitution effectually bars the creation
of any new debt without direct appeal
to the people, and likewise guards
cities and counties against the common
failing of all local governing bodies of
anticipating revenue by borrowing.
