thoroughly impressed with the import
ance of the subject and will give it special
attention. He has received letters from
Doctor Azel Ames, who was here last year
looking after the matter. He has been in
consultation with Mr.. j. H. Sanders, the
editor of the Breeders Gazette, of Chicago.
Mr.. Porter has not yet selected man to
supervise this work 1t is not unlikely
that he will take Mr. Sanders, if that
gentleman is not in Europe when the
statistics have to be taken.
DR.. Ames, when he was here last winter,
laid special stress on the Importance OF
these statistics, on the ground that the beef
supply per head of the population was be
coming less from year to year, and that it
might soon become serious problem where
beef enough could be gotten for our own
people, to say nothing of expectation. Exact
statistics would help in solving this
problem In 1860, DR.. Ames stated, the
number of cattle in the country was Sl4 to
900 population, but in 1885 it had fallen to
722 to 1000, and the drought and famine in
Montana in 1887 made such inroads on the
herds that the proportion, as estimated,
was reduced to 700 to 900 population.

SECRETARY TRACY INUNDATED.
He Has TO Recall Invitations to Witness a
Pneumatic Gun Carriage Test.

He Has to Recall Invitations to Witness a
Pneumatic Gun Carriage Test.
Il Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. !
There is considerable quiet talk in naval
kcirSles in regard to the failure of the pneu-
matte gun carriage company to get an OPP
portunity to have test of their invention /;
several dates have been fixed, but always
some obstacle has arisen to prevent its
taking place.
Secretary Tracy, some time ago, issued
Invitations to a number of distinguished
Speople, including Secretary Proctor,
General Schotield and other army and navy
officers, to visit the naval ordnance proving
ground at Annapolis Md, on Saturday last
4 10 witness test of the carriage Invitations
were also extended to the military
and naval attaches of the different lega-
lions. A special train was provided to
carry the party out. Twenty-four hours
previous to the test the ordnance bureau
informed Secretary Tracy that there was
40 suitable powder a. the proving grounds,
knd that the trial could not come of To
ay that the secretary was mad is but to
but 1t mildly. He was simply furious, and
7accol(.ing to one Of the naval officers, who
vas 3resent at the interview, his language
towards the ordnance official was decidedly
more forcible than elegant. He informed
Commodore Sicard that he never in all his
ife was so mortified, and if it was
hot for the fact that his official term as
khief of the bureau would expire in July,
be would dismiss him at once. The invita-
ions had to be recalled, accompanied by
aote of apology from the secretary, that
o suitable powder was on hand and this
s what ranked in his bosom, and is still
'1herqk
The ordinance people have a gun car
iage of their own design which they think
svill meet all the requirements of the ser
ice, and as a result look with disfavor
tpon any invention that is likely to sup
liant their ideas. The secretary of the
avy, however, is a progressive man, and
4 this or any invention is better than that
ow used, he intends to see that the navy
hall get the benefit of it.
The trial of the carriage will take place
b the course of the next fortnight, and it
safe to assume, in view of what has
aiken place, that there will be no lack of
fOWder on that occasion

AN ANARCHIST CELEBRATION.
The Red Flags of Chicago Prepairs to Honor
the Haymarket Massacre.

CHICAGO, May 3.-To-morrow will be the
third anniversary of the Haymarket riot
and the Anarchists Of the city propose to
give the day observance in the way printed
in their address or circular, which has been
issued from their secret establishment.
Chief of Police Hubbard found copy of it
in his mail to-day, and another was found
on the pedestal of the Haymarket police
monument, which is to be dedicated ON the
30th instant.
The circular is of an infamatory
character, in that it lands the virtues of the
condemned and executed Anarchists, and
denounces all of the officers of the law who
had anything to do with securing their con-
viction. 1t, however, does not counsel a
resort to force, or the doing of any overt
act. 1t speaks of a meeting to be held on
the anniversary of the riot. The suppose
ton has been that the Anarchists would
make some demonstration on the day of the
unvelllng OF the monument.
Chief Hubbard was interviewed concern
ing the circular this afternoon He says
he hardly thinks it possible that the Anar-
chists will attempt an outburst on the day
the statue is unveiled. He says every pre-
caution will be taken to secure the safety
of life and property on that day.

PAST FINDING OUT.
The Why and Wherefore of Civ
ing Railroad Passes.
A STORY OF A COWBOYS REVENGE
Corporation Rights-Gambling
in Chicago.

WASHINGTON, May SIN response to the
summons of the interstate commerce CON-
mission, representatives of number of
eastern roads appeared before the commits
sion to-day and explained the methods of
giving out passes, and to whom they were
given.
Representatives of most of the roads sub
mitted lists of the passes given by their
roads, with accompanying information, and
in some cases the reasons for granting the
passes.
The Maine Central railroad representa-
tive presented an argument taking excep-
tions to the jurisdiction of the commission
in calling for specific classes of passes. The
representative of the New York Central
road presented an argument setting forth
the fact that his company does business
alone in the state of New York It has is
sued many passes to persons in that state,
but has not issued any for the purpose of
securing business, and submits that the
commission may not require any further
answer.
Counsel for the Pennsylvania road ex-
planned its list of passes, and presented
the circulars of the company regulating
the issuance Of passes in conformity with
then understanding of the interstate act
Technical points were raised by several
of the gentlemen representing roads re-
garding the jurisdiction of the commission,
and the commission will at some future
time hear arguments from them.

New YORK, May 3.-The Senate investi-

lines il the United States are owned or
controlled by the Grand Trunk, Canadian
Pacific or other Canadian railroads, or
whether any American freight has been
diverted to the Cadadian lines, will proba-
bly, not begin its labors before tomorrow,

tives of the chamber of commerce, Presi-

QWAsHNGToN, May 3.-The Republicans
of Maryland are taking their turn at sulk-
ing now. The trouble is due to the potent
influence of Senator German. lis brother,
Calvin German, was appointed inspector of
customs during the last administration at
the modest compensation of four dollars
per day. Notlong ago he received letter
informing him that his services would be
no longer required but some influence was
brought to bear on Secretary Window, and
there is no doubt but that ex-senator Davis,
a cousin of Gorman's and personal friend
of Mr.. Window, has had something to do
with the retention of the inspector. 1t is
not relished, however, by Congressman
McComas nor by Mr.. Mudd, who is con-
testing the seat OF Congressman Compton,
from the Fifth district. Mr.. Mudd makes
the awful threat that unless German is
promptly removed he will abandon his con
test, and deprive the Republicans of the
privilege of counting him in as u member of
the Fifty-tirst Congress.

April 30 on Shipboard-The Book Case-Anni-
verSary of the Haymarket Riot-In
Oklahoma.

PHILADELPHIA, May "a coach, con
tanning several persons, was struck by a
train on the Pennsylvania road this morn
ing. T. X. Womrath and James DUNCAN
were killed. Three others were injured.
the coach contained eleven men, many of
whom were local politicians. They said
they were on their way home from a iolli-
fication. Womrath was formerly mem
Der of the city council. DUNCAN was sixty
five years old. Half dozen, more or less,
were seriously injured.
The accident occurred shortly after /
o'clock this morning. The party were
members of the Masonic fraternity and
were returning to this city from a visit
to DR.. Boyer, of Bridesburg, the worship
full master of the lodge to which they be
longed.
Howard Gibbs, one of the injured. did
not belong to the party, but had been over
taken on the road and allowed to ride with
the driver. This brief delay caused by
taking on this extra passenger undoubt-
eddy had much to do with the calamity
which followed. The night was hay, rem
dering objects indistinct. and it is supposed
that as the freight train approached the
crossing it was unperceived by those in the
coach. The engineer, when he saw what
had happened, stopped the train as soon as
possible. Stretched upon the cow
catcher, bruised, bleeding and in
was Johnson, the colored
driver A square below the crossing the
horses were found dead and gashed to
pieces, lying close together. The force of
the blow must have been terrible, for the
shoes were torn from the feet of one of
them and the other had Il leg cut off
close to the trunk. Further up the track
the wagon was dashed to Underwood and
was lying in heap, and nine feet away
from it were the bodies of Womrath and |
DUNCAN. Close to them lay their fellow |
passengers Smith and Wellgus, who were
quite senseless, but the others, with the |
exception of DR.. Hule and Myers, were
grooming pitifully. Two of the injured,
Samuel Smith, a wholesale liquor mer- |
chant, and Frank Wellgus, druggist, are
expected to die. Others injured, five in |
all, are reported to be getting along com
fortably.

NEGRO DOMINATION.
Ex-Congcessman Lynch, of Mississippi, Ex-

plains the Situation in the South.
Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch. ]
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Hon. John r.
Lynch, of Mississippi, the brilliant colored
orator, VINO long represented his district in
Congress and is now at the head of the Re
publican state central committee of Missis-
sippi, said yesterday that he had no fear re-
garding President Harrisons policy to
wards the colOred man. He had heard the
rumor regarding the Presidents purpose
to ignore the blacks and build up white
mans party in the South, but he does not
attach much Importance to them.
1.-THE President" said he to your CORES
pOndent, will pursue no policy. Every
colored man whom have recommended for
fourth class postoffice has been appointed,
and some OF them to very good offices, too
The formation of white Republican clubs
in the South would delight me as much as
anybody else, if they were formed
by men who voted with the Democrats
in the last campaign, but they seem to be
m&de up entirely of former Republicans.
The Democrats cannot be caught by such
bait. The formation of the white mans
party, to the exclusion of the negro, is an
absurdity, and the idea will find its chief
support among the men who want to keep
the party conveniently small so that the
offices viii go around The southern Dem
ocrats of Mississippi do not really fear ne
gro domination on a fair vote
9TH negroes are in the majority in the
statGbut if they controlled the situation they
would elect native white Republicans, many
of them x-cOnfederates, to most Of the
Offices. About one-third of the whites in
the state are Republicans, and there are a
few carpet baggers among them. 1t is not
the fear of negro domination which leads
the white Democrats to falsify the returns.
That is merely a pretense to palliate their
offense in the north. Their only object is
to keep the state in the Democratic column,
and this is shown plainly enough by the
fact that they used just the same means to
defeat Harrison, a white man, as they
would to defeat an local colored candidate"
