a TOUR IN TEXAS.
Estimate Of Eosses-The Trails-Cat-
tie Interests of the Lone
star State,

ST. LOUIS, March 1S.-AmoS I. AtYater Sec
rotary Of the National Cattle and Horse Grow
erS ASsO iation, has been making tour in
Texas Ill the interest of that association. He
returned to-day. He reports great diversity
OF opinion regarding the losses sustained, by
catilemen in Texas during the past winter, they
being vs;iOuSly placed from to 10 per cent.
His own estimate is three to five per cent. The
winter has been the most severe ever known
in Texas, and the drifting of cattle was very
great. 1t is estimated that fully $780,: 90 cattle
of Devil SRiver and in the Pecos River country.
Roundup parties have already been started
for that section, but owing to the poor condi-
ton OF cattle, it will require much time and
careful driving to bring them back.
The closing ofthe old trail north will compel
owners TO throw muclAof their supplies OF stock
on the market this season, which will no
doubt depreSS the price of beef.
There IS no queSti n but that the Texas
ranges are Over-Stoi ked, and the ranchmen
will be obliged to get rid of large number OF
COWS, tow-year-old and even yearlings TO re-
lieve the burden, and those will have mainly to
go on the market.
Wyoming and the northwest will resume
cattle Which come there by trail but not other
this outlet for Texas cattle. Last year az this
lime, over million dollars worth If conlr acts
was held by lexis ranchmen, but this year
not a dollar. 8r. Atwater thinks the days of
free grazing in Texas Is acout over. In the
near future stock raisers will have TO pasture
the herds on their own lands and cultivate
ground enou I'll for foddert to carry their cattle
through the winter.
Mr.. AtwUter att nded all the meetings of
local cattle assoc iations held while he was in
the State and was assured the next national
convention would be largely attended. One
good result already noticed as growing out OF
the convention last year, is that the Chief
Bure au OF Statistics is gathering statistics in
regard 20 cattle and ranges. Cattle men seem
to bs hopeful of better times, and were on the
qui viys for everything new in connection with
their industry

missioner of Internal revenue, said to-day 1t

pressed to Secretary Manning a willingness to

not only have not resigned, but have not had a
word of conversation on the subject with either
the President or Secretary Manning.
Evans has written a letter to theSecretary OF
the Treasury in regard to the matter OF which
the following is a copy:
To Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary OF the
Treasury:
SIR-I have received your letter of this date
in which you state-that by direction of the
President L am informed my resignation
as commissioner of internal Revenue is
accepted to take effect upon the qualification
receive such letter to-day. In view Of the
fact that had not resigned, and especially
as my information Is, that my success d
was nominated TO the Senate yesterday. Ii
may be proper should take this occasion tC
state that, while l have never resigned nol
even had a proper opportunity to talk To yoG
upon the subject, still it has been my hxeC
purpose to resign at an early day. In no event
later than the close of the fiscal year-my sec

The Star says: Secretary Bayard has taken
steps for the formal withdrawal of all treaties
pending in the Senate. This will leave the
Senate with nothing to do but to pass upon
nominations and the prevailing impression
now is the session will not last more than two
weeks longer.

Doctors not InfallIbIe.


The opinions of doctors are far
from infali;ble. Their patients Otter
die when the practitioners feel sure
they will recover, and still oftener
when they feel sure they will die.
Joseph Harvey, of Newburyport,
Mass, Is striking example of this.
When he was % he had some all
ment which his physicians pro-
nounced mortal. They advised him
to arrange his affairs and look the
inevitable calmly in the face. He
did not agree with their diagnosti-
cation, and told them they were GER
talnly mistaken. Soon afterward he
married, although they assured
him that marriage would hasten his
end. He is now 70 and has survived
his wife, his daughter, his physicians
and most of his contemporaries. Fol
many years he has suffered with the
govt, which is vulgarly thought to
prevent other diseases, and never
itself to carry one off. His case
would seem to sustain the ERRONEOUS
notion.
