THE DROUTH.

Desperate State Of Affairs Resulting From
the Drouth in Texas.
FORT WoHTu. Tex., July 23.-The terri.
BILE drouth in the northwest counties has
been severe on cattle, which suffer for
water rs we'll as grass. In self-defense the
tanchmen are drifting or driving them to-
ward the southeast. and this is strenuOusly
fesisted by the farmers who are greatly
damaged thereby. Last night word came
from Decatur, In Wise County, that 10000
head of cattle are near Chico, in Jack
County. coming into Wise County. This
herd is backed by sixty well armed
nen, who are determined tho cattle shall
reach the west fork of the Trinity river.
Tie farmers of the immediate section are
arming and swear the cattle must be turned
back. A large squad has gone to the front
with FIVE days. ratiOns, prepared to fight if
necessary. and they are we'll armed. To-
day the news was carried from farm to
farm and the sturdy planters are turning
out to a man to aid their brethren in the
front and join them if necessary. The
county is in ferInent and very serious
trouble is looked for. To turn back means
death to the cattle of this vast herd. 10
come on through the settled county means
fences destroyed, crops ruined and the
nleagre supply of stock water absorbed.
Both sides are simply cIamOring for bread
and butter, and arc therefore determined
and desperate.

A SNAKE STORY.

Sedalia Man Has a Unique Experience
With u Pettis County Snake.
ST. Louis, July 24.-AdOlph Riecke, a
former popular butcher of Sedalia, but at
present residing on farm ten miles south
west of that city, underwent an iexperience
yesterday morning that he does not care to
repeat at an early day.
Having business at a small stream on his
farm, where lot of driftwood accumulated
On the occasion of the last heavy rains, Mr.
Riecke repaired to the spot and began re-
moving the rubbish. Suddenly lie ceased
bis operations and stood aghast, for direct
ly in front of him, with head erect and
mouth open, stood monster snake of the
species known as the COW snake.
Frightened half out of his wits, and
scarcely knowing what he did, Mr.. Riccke
seized the reptile around the neck and then
began most desperate battle. First the
snake would be on top and then Riecke.
In this manner they tusseled for fully ten
minutes, when Ricckc got in his work on
the reptiles head and finally succeeded in
mashne it. The snake is said to have
been the largest ever seen in PcttiS County.

Gently signed in London by Minister
Phelps and the Earl of Roseberry, ex-
tending and adding to the tleaty OF

vention extends the provisions of Arti-
ticle X. of the treaty of 1912 to four
crimes not therein named, as follows:
manslaughter, burglary, embezzlement
or larceny involving the amount of
fifty dollars or ten pounds, and malici-
ious injuries to property whereby the
life of any person shall be endangered
if such injuries constitute a crime ac-
cording to the laws of both countries.
1t is also provided that the provisions
of Article X. shall apply to persons
convicted of crimes named in the treaty
of 1912 and the new convention, as
well as to those charged before trial
with the commission of them. The
convention is not retroactive; no sur
render is to be demandt for political
offense, and no trial is permitted for
any other Offense than the one for
which extradition is requested until the
person extradited has had an oppor-
tunity to return to the state by which

The publication of the extradition
treaty with England the other day in
violation of the rules of the Senate has
not created the same amount of atten-
ton that similar occurrences have in
previous years. The New York Herald
charges indirectly that Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, is the guilty man.
All of these confidential documents are
kept in the safe of the executive clerk,
and are not issued even to Senator
without receipt from him, which is
surrendered upon the return of the pa
per. The Herald makes it appear that
two days before the publication Senator
German obtained copy of the treaty
and gave receipt for it, returning it
two days later. The treaty was pub
lished first in the Baltimore Sun, which
is Senator Germans personal organ
and one of whose correspondents is his
private secretary. The San furnished
it to two other papers. presumably to
divert suspicion.
