A cattleman who has returned tC Walla Walla from Northern Mon tana states that the Neidringhaus drive of cattle from that county tC
 British Columbia has proved a dis
 astrous failure to the St. Louis cat tie syndicate, of which MT. Neid ringhaus is prominent member For time the drive, consisting oI 10000 head of cattle, prospered finely, but as the unusually dry season in Montana progressed, the grass became scarcer, and streams of water fewer and farther between The stock began to weaken and fall by the way side, and as days passed by food became scarcer and the animals died by hundreds. The herders even suffered great priva- tions for water, and so desperate did the situation become when near ing the British line, MT. Neidring- haus ordered the drive abandoned and the herds to reach the North ern Pacific railroad as best they could. The scene about the drive was a most pitiable one. The cat tie were reduced to skin and bones, and were so weak from fatigue and want of nourishment that they would stand still until they fell in their tracks to dIe. Their meanings and bellowings were fearful to hear. A cold, dry, piercing wind which was sweeping over the country did much to complete the situation. Cattlemen are of the opinion that the syndicate will not have 200 head of stock next Spring out of the immense herd driven from this country. Their loss in that case will reach $45O,OOO.--Eurrka { Ney.) Sentinel.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-In accordance with the order of Master Workman Butler, 1,500 beef killers employed in the Armour packing house join ed the strikers already out, and making the demand that their em- ployers should re-establish eight hours as a working day. About two hundred men remained at work in the Armour beet department and that house is killing few cat tie as usual. Information from the stock yards indicates that all the pork men will be ordered out by the Knights of Labor, thus renew ing the strike for eight hours in all it's former proportion, throwing be- tween 10000 and 25,0O0 men out of employment.

If Armour, Swift and other dress ed meat fiends propose to say there shall be no competition il the open market for beet on hoof, then let the ranchmen of the range country slaughter and refrigerate their own cattle. AS long as there are no other buyers in the great yards except the dress. ed beef monopolies, our people have no earthly use for the services of commission men. They had just as we'll save these commits sions and send their cattle direct to the Armour outfit with a request to remit whatever they are willing to pay. That's all they get any how, and the fewer middle men that get a nip at the proceeds the better. The cattlemen may as we'll make up their minds right now that permanent relief will on ly come by getting their necks out from under the foot of the dressed beef monopoly. It has a corner on every fat steer in the United States, and will hold the price down until the producers rise up in their might and restore competi- tion in the market. They cannot do this in their individual capacity, nor can any single county or State association accomplish anything. It will require united effort, di- rected by the ablest and strongest men in the ranks of the cattlemen. Again we naturally turn to the h. ternational range association as the one agency to begin this work. The farmers and feeders in the ag- ricultural States will join them in the fight, for it is their highest in terest to do so, and before such a power the dressed beef monopoly cannot prevail. This course is now necessary as an aet,of self pres. ervation, and the work should be- gin at once. Unless the cattlemen will make an: effort to protect themselves they ought to be robbed.

Chicago is a great beef and mutt ton market. That is a great many beeves and muttons go to Chicago. But as it requires competition to make a great market, and there is practically only one buyer at Chi cago, it remains to be seen how long Chicago will continue to be meat market; in other words how long the beeves and muttons will continue-to go to Chicago.-Texas Stockman.

course seems to be to bring the mat ter to the direct attention of Con. gress, through Q committee ap. pointed for that purpose. It is be lieved that such action, if it did no more, might result in some slight concessions from the pool, and might scare the syndicate into tenn porary decency at least.-Dallas News.

An American ranchman had em- ployed a Mexican herder. The American owed the Mexican $6O, and as money was not very plenti- ful with him began to devise means of a cheaper settlement. One ey- ening while the two men were in the kitchen, the American took down cofe-mill and said: This Is the most wonderful machine in the world. It was recently inven- ted in the United States, and is valued at $100. See here Instead of having to crush your coffee with a stone you put it in this way and grind it up. I never saw any thing like it, Old Man Jones over here wants it so bad he don't know what to do. Offered me $10O for 1t, but would not accept the offer."
 The Mexican listened attentive ly but assumed an air of indiffer- ence. The American left the mill on the shelf. When he got up next morning he found that the Mexican and the coffee mill had disappeared. "You can't place any confidence in Mexican" said he. That fellow is positively dishonest.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The stockmen of Texas are dis. cussing the propriety of holding a mass meeting sometime this fall for the purpose of taking action against the Chicago meat syndi- cate and the extortions of the rail- road pool. It is agreed by all that the methods of the former are closely allied to sand bagging, and
 those of the latter worse, if possi- ble, and that the two are sucking the life blood out of the cattle in- dustry, but just how to abate them is the question. To meet and pass resolutions will do no good, since political meetings have brought tres olutions into such disrepute that nobody pays any attention to them any more, and the most effective

The New York Economist is ex- cellent authority in matters rela- ting to wool and manufacturing in- terests of the country. In eare- fully prepared statement regarding the shortage in the American clip of 1886, some striking figures are given. The amount of wool con- sumed at home last year was 4OS,- 100000 pounds. The supply was only 328,00O,OOO pounds. A short age of SO,OOO,OOO pounds. For this year the American clip will be 112,000,000 pounds short. The mills will require S0,OOO,OOO addi- tional, leaving total shortage of 102,000,000 pounds. Wool will certainly be high in 18S7.-Inter Republic.

The price of beef, like any other commodity, Is regulated by the laws of supply and demand. Spec ulators sometimes get a corner on the market and force prices down in order to make money. If the packing houses are able to play the game successfully, it has only a temporary effect upon the price of the commodity while in the hands ofthe producer. 4 reaction invariably takes place, and is brought about by the memorable laws of supply and demand. Over production of any given article of course reduces it's value. To this cause, however, the present low prices of beef is not to be attribut- ed. There Is not an oversupply of beet in the country. Market reports show conclusively that the consumers of beef in the populous centers of the East experience no benefits in this respect. They hare to pay high prices for every steak or roast they eat. Texas cat  tlemen need not become disccur- aged. The price of cattle is bound to become higher. The arbitrary action of a few men cannot keep it down.-Inter-k kepublics.

From the II Paso Trlbune-l

SE ilS lo IldhleS the ITiDune reporter has been let into some of the secrets of the Executive Committee" o1 flibusterers which has it's head quorters in Fl Paso and is in com munication with various parts ot the country, striving to get up an army for the invasion and dismem- berment of Mexico. These plans are given briefly.
 A great number of letters are be ing received from various parts of the country, proposing to aid the movement. They are from cowboys, miners, unemployed workingmen, capitalists, priests, Mormons and soldiers. A total of near 1000 have proffered their services up to date.
 From New Mexico alone offers ot 2,500 men have been receiveds
 The movement bids for the sup port of Rome and the Catholic church by promising the restora- tion of all church property taken by the Mexican government since the time of Juarez.
 It promises the restoration of priest, nun and sister of charity to all former privileges.
 It promises, outside of this, free religion, free speech, free press.
 It promises the abolition of the peon system.
 It promises compulsory English education,
 It promises the free entry of American goods and a proscriptive tariff on English, German and French goods.
 It promises the abolition of ex- port duties.
 It promises the division of pub lie agricultural lands into 200 acre tracts, free to actual settlers.
 RATHER soCIALIsTIC.
 It proposes an absolute military government.
 It proposes standing army of 50,000 men, the rank and file to re- ceive $40 per month, with clothes and rations.
 It proposes that one-half the army shall always be at work on public works, such as military roads, canals, railroads, etc., and in generally developing the country.
 It proposes ten grand military posts of 5000 men each.
 It proposes that ten per cent of the rank and file of the army shall be always tin turn) employed in on government planta- tions. The design is to make the army self-sustaining, or nearly so.
 All mail and railroad service is to be performed by the military.
 All local and general laws are to be enforced by military officers.
 ALL MILITARY.
 All police service is to be by the military.
 There is to be one grand military tax for the purpose of the local or general government,
 Grazing lands are to be limited to tracts of 5000 acres.
 Wives and children of deceased soldiers are to receive half pay for a term of five years.
 To the Mormon settlements ab- solute local self-government and re- lief from military duty are offered. The Mormons are to pay special military tax to make up for their exemption from military service.
 These things are but part of an elaborate plan of the flibusters. They say they know we'll that the moment they cross the line they give up all claim to the protection of the United States government, and that any man of them cap tured by the Mexicans will be shot as a bandit.

 WHAT CUTTING SAYS.
 In an interview with Mir. A. K Cutting this morning, he said to 6 Tribune reporter:
 ''That which you call 'filibuster- ism is not the offspring of hasty passion or ill-regulated desire fol conquest; 1t is the fruit of the sure, unerring instincts which act in ac- cordance with laws as old as the creation. They are but drivelers who speak of establishing fixed re- lations between the pure white American race, as it exists in the United States, and the mixed Span ish-Indian race as 1t exists in Mex ico, without the employment of arms and force, The history of the world presents no such Utopion vision as that of an inferior race yielding meekly and peacefully to the controlling influence of supe- rior people. Whenever barbarism and civilization meet face to face, the result must be war-and that war a

 bordering on extermination. There fore, the coming struggle between the old and the new elements in Mexico is not passing or accidental, but natural and inevitable. No kings, no presidents can arrest movement based on truth and con- ducted with justice; and the very obstacles they place in the way merely prepare those who are in- jured for the part they are to play in the worlds great history. The many wrongs heaped upon Ameri- cans in Mexico are bearing fruit, and the 'whirlwind harvest is near at hand. In the many inhuman outrages perpetrated upon Ameri- cans, I see a presage of American triumph; for he is a blind reader of the past who has not learned that Providence fits it's agents for great designs by trials and suffer ings and prosecutions"

Miss CONSTANCE Kenmore WooLsoN has
rented for the autumn and early winter a part
of an old stone villa on the hill called Bellos-
guardo outside the Roman gate Of Florence
Italy. In the same villa reside Miss Greenough,
sister of the sculptor, and Mr.. Francis Booth, of
Boston, with his daughter and son-in-law Frank
Duveneck the painter Miss Woolsons Quar-
ters have an old garden in front of them, and
are very romantically situated Across the west
ern end of her reception-room is broad parapet,
just elbow high, to lean upon, and from this par
apet the distinguished novelist gazes upon the
most beautiful landscape in 1taly-the valley of
the Arno westward, with the strange outlines of
the Carrara mountains at its end and the river,
like a silver ribbon, winding down toward Pisa
and the sea. This parapet is in fact, the broad top
of an old stone wall. which plunges straight down
on the other side forty feet or more. The next
villa to Miss Woolson's is the Villa Montanto,
where Hawthorne wrote the MARBLE Faun," and
which he describes the home of Donatello.
The shadow of its old stone tower moves across
Miss Woolson's garden every day like that of

where Miss Woolsons great-uncle, James Feni-
m % Cooper, spent two summers with his fam
lily sixty years ago. He was very fond of Italy,
and the days he passed there were the happiest
of his life Miss Woolson's genius is unfolding
under circumstances particularly felicitous.
