VICTORIA, B. c., November 2O.-The tele-
graph was yesterday brought into service IN
a way that not only offered a good iIIustra-
ton of the extent of the system, but fur
nished a unique example of TIE possibilities
of modern science. Lord EnnismOfe, heir
to the earldom of ListO veil, is lying at the
point of death in a hospital here with ty-
phOid fever. Through the aid of Sir Donald
Smith, who is on the London telegraph. q
circuit was formed from London to Vic
tOria by cable, and Sir Andrew Clarke, the
distipg uished London physician, was placed
in direct consultation with DR.. Bennington
IN Victoria. A conversation lasting three
hours concerning Lord Ennismore's condi-
ton was carried on. The unbrOken circuit
worked from Victoria to the Office in New
York, where the kilograms were repeated.
The London replies were received in three
minutes. Lord Ennismore, though still in
a dangerous condition, was somewhat better
last evening.

CmoAGO, November 20.-John H. Wood.
one Of the oldest cattle dealers in the union
stock yards gives his opinion Of the St.
Louis joint convention Of butchers and cat
tie rsisers as follows;
81 believe great good could come out OF
general meeting OF stock growers and butch
ers, If it was properly managed, and 1 pre-
sumo We viii have great meeting at ST.
Louis; but fear its results, because it seems
to be managed by a little ring and their or
gan at Cheyenne. have been in the catt' Q
business many years, and believe in Ie5tiI 9
well enough alone. This agitation of the
question OF inspection can only be produc-
tive Of evil. 1t is made by a few mon who
want an appropriation, in order to secure a
livelihood which they are unable 10 earn.
Local inspectors viii make disease out of
their Imagination, even if none exist. No
appropriation, no disease. 1t seems to me-
II there must be an inspection other than
now @ Elsts, that it should be an insnection
Dy United states officials, and not by local
men, who could be governed by lOcsi fears
and preJud1cess Cattle growers should re-
member their experience of fifteen wears
ago, and not let these bIOod-money
sharks hoOdWiuk them. Legislation as pro
posed means simply giving employment to
a lo5 OF so-called inspectors, who viii be
detr1ment to the cattle and butchering IN
terests of the whole country, and who will
give Great Britain and other countries a
chance to discriminate against the cattle
production Of the whole country. Previous
agitation of this character provoked the en-
aCtmen5 of q law in Great Britain forcing
the slaughter Of cattle at the place OF their
embarkatiOn and prohibiting their being
driven into the interior. This lessened the
price of American beef % to Sc a pound in
the interests of a monopoly, and the same
tactics are being pursued by eastern butch
ers and their western organ at this time.
Cattle growers ought not to listen TO this
cry of monopoly and at the same time give
themselves into the hands of a greater mon
OpOIy which is intended to be foisted upon
/ them at St. Louis. The cattle growers ana
the consumers are perfectly able to protect
themselves under the present sanitary and
cattle laws, and do not need any special leg
1slaticn, any appropriation or any new fan

CHICAGO. Ill. November 16.-About for
ty manufacturers of straw wrapping paper
from various parts of the country have
been in secret session In this city for the
pool or trust on that class of goods. 1t is
understood that an agreement has been
reached, but that the inability of some of
the weaker manufacturers, who are unable
to take and pay for their shares of stock in
the pool is something of a stumbling block
in the way. The manufacturers say that
they have been losing money for several
years, and that the object of the present
movement is to add So per ton to the prica
of their product, which now sells for $50

After Two SWlndlerS.

Two we'll dressed men drove up to tho
FELTON, House on Monday evening between
five and six o'clock They left their
double team at the stables and after sup
per took the 6 30 p. M, train for Phila-
delphia informing the hotel proprietor
that they would return the next day for
the team. They appeared rather anxious,
however, for the appearance of the train,
and took their overcoats with them. One
was middle-aged mau and the other
younger. They registered as D. E. James,
Pennsylvania, and Ed. Swan, Baltimore.
Soon after their departure Sheriff Johnson
received telegram to arrest the meu.
They proved to be swindlers and had work
ed their cute little game in Middletown.
A resident of that place Wh0.is farm
owner narrowly escaped being tricked
out of considerable amount. He had
the men out to see his farm which they
talked of purchasing. The swindlers
persuaded i'm to take hand in a little
game and stayed in the woods while the
Middletown man went to the bank after
some money. The bank clerk got onto
the racket in some manner and told the
well-to-do citizen that he would rather
give him a revolver to shoot the men with
than his money. The man who was sc
nearly swindled took an officer with him
when he returned to where the game was
to have been played, but the swindler,
managed to get away. The team they
were driving belonged to Alexander Max
well of Middletown. They telegraphet
him word of where they bad left the team
and that they would send ten dollars fol-
use it by the first mail. One of Jh,
swindlers has attended the fair here.

brother and steadfast friend.

There was a very narrow escape from
serious railroad accident at the p. w. 81
b. depot in this town Thursday afternoon
A construction train had to vacate the
north bound track for the express moving
north at o'clock and went on the south
bound track. 1t had hardly got on the
south bound track when the Perryville extra
q through freight train Was heard around
the bend. The engineer of the latter train
did not see the other train until he passed
the Jail, owing to the curve. He at once
reversed his engine and whistled down
brakes. A collision $, emed imminent and
the engineer and fireman both jumped near
the depot. The former was tumbled about
and badly bruised and the latter sustained
injuries to his hip. The collision did not
occur, however, owing to the presence of
mlnu OF MT. Benjamin NJ wells, the we'll
known express agent who succeeded in
signaling the men on the construction train
which had not come to a stand still to move
down the road. This was done and the
two trains did not come nearer together
than about 100 feet. The deserted engine
came to a stand-stil near the Blue Ball
crossing.
