KANSAS CRY, November IA scene
of frontier excitement occurred in the
streets of this city to-day. 1t lasted for
five hours, and during that time herd
of stampeded Texas steers had possess
sion of the thoroughfares in an area about
two miles square. A number of persons
were tossed on the horns of the infuriated
beasts, and before the herd was corralled
again eight of their number had been
killed. At o'clock this morning eight
cowboys started with drove of cattle
from the stock yards, bound for Clay
county, across the Missouri river. The
steers refused to cross the bridge, and
upon being urged, stsmpeded. Then the
excitement began. The nerd had pro-
ceeded down Bluff street for two squares
at a clattering pace, clearing all before it,,
when four of the cowboys, with frontier
foresight, cut around the block and
headed it off.
Before the cattle were driven back and
corralled at the rivers. bank, eight of
them had broken away from the herd

THE CHEROKEE CHIEF.
He is FOrninst Selling Out to th'
GOVerMne ent,

KANSAS CRY, November 3.-A Times
Tahlequah special contains a copy of the
annual message to be delivered by Chief
Mayes tomorrow to the Cherokee Coun-
Gil. 1t recommends that the outlet lands
be not ceded to the Government of the
United States, except it be done by q
change in the constitution of the Chero'
kee nation. He holds that the constitu-
ton forbids their sale to any one for any
reason. He quotes that section
of the constitution and COM
ments on it at length. He ac-
c Ises the Government of dealing unfairly
with the Indians who have been prom
ised that they should hold their present
land when they were removed there,
"as long as grass should grow and rivers
flow" He reviews the different treaties
made between the Indians and the Gov
ernment, and states the belief that the
Government has no right to force the
Indians to sell their lands. A change in
the constitution can be made only by
submitting the question to vote of the
Nation, and that will be done by the
council authorizing Chief Mayes to 30
submit it.

Pennsylvania anil Maryland. A careful
review of the field, together with ar
rangements for the supervision of the
limited districts still infected, justify, in
the Secretery's opinion, most ssnguine
hopes in regard to the eradication OF the
diseases.
TEXAS FEVER
Is generally spread through the channels
of Interstate commerce, and therefore
can only be efectually controlled by the
Federal Government, hence the necessity
of legislation which shall be ample and
clearly defined.
The language used by Secretary Rusk
in regard to National meat inspection
law, is pointed and vigorous. The ne.
cessity for inspection at the time of
slaughter, he says, is first to enable the
authorities to promptly locate any cattle
disease centers, and, secondly, to avoid
the leaving of the inspection of our own
meat products to the officials of other
countries, thus giving foreign Govern
ments some show of reason for the claim
that they have better opportunity Of
learning OF diseases among cattle than
are enjoyed by our own Government.
Authority and means are also desired to
enable the Department to exercise close
supervision Of the economic side of the
cattle markets, the characteristics OF
stock commanding the highest prices,
variations as to age, weight and quality,
and all facts bearing upon the cattle in
dustry, which will enable the Bureau to
supply the farmers such inform alton as
it is impossible for them to obtain for
themselves.
SHEEP AND WOOL
Receive special consideration in the re.
port. The growth of the mutton inter-
est is referred to as one to be greatly en-
couraged. AS to wool growing, the re-
duction of the tariff in 1883 is earnestly
deplored. To it is attributed the great
reduction in the number of sheep, which
has since then fallen eff by about 7,000,-
600 head, while the Importation of wool
has increased from 78,350,651 pounds in
1884 to 126, ,487 ,729 pounds in the pas.

THE sULTAN's GUEST,
Hostile His hbinders.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 3.-The
Hip Yong Tong Highbinder Society to-
day sent the Suey Gag Tong So
ciety a challenge to a duel. The
challenge was accepted by the latter
and the weapons of the profession
were prepared. The Yong Tong Society
stationed themselves in front of their
enemies headquarters and with drawn
weapons dared them to come into
the street. The Gag Tong men then be-
gan arming themselves for the fight. In
the meantime the police had been notified
and arrived just as the Ong Tong men
commenced to emerge from their strong
hold. At the sight of the police the
squad all threw down their arms and
mingled with the crowd no
arrests were made. 1t is thought
that battle will sooner or later occur, as
these two societies have sworn vengeance

she Governor, who has assumed the
power to veto the action of the
Board at pleasure, refused to ap-

the Governor is determined to steer the
Commissioners to lands adjacent to his
ranch in Waterman Canon, and for that
reason has exercised his veto power
against all other sites entertained by the
Board. At last the Governor seized a
pretext to fly into passion and dis
missed the Commissioners "for bargain

new Board. But the old Board had re-
ceived no official notice Of their de-

THE cry for help from Pan-Ameri-

is not copper-lined and boiler. plated, he

worst circumstance about the situation
seems to be that the accomplished editor

of throwing them off their guard. The
last state of those delegates will be far
worse than the first when they emerge
from the pastures OF the bluegrass.
However, it is perhaps only retributive
justice. The Gringo himself has been
taught things in the line of mescal,
aquardiente, pulque and other insidious
beverages, towards the South. 1t was a
fine conceit to take the leisure-loving
South American over such boundless cir.

demoniacal to subject his virtue to the in
citations of the famous sour mash.

south bound Santa Fe passenger train was
wrecked this morning south OF Brown

from the track and rolled down fifteen

up. They were full Of passengers, who
we're piled together with the chairs lying
on top of them. They screamed for help
and the windows had to be broken to get
them out. Twenty passengers were in-

DURING the discussions preceding the
late elections there was a distinct pledge
that the High School should not be built
on CASTELAR, street. The sentiment was
almost universal amongst the voters that
this location was ill-advised and on every
ground inadmjssible. The HERALD,
amongst the rest, gave expression to this
sentiment. AS result, the voters were
solemnly and officially assured that
CASTELAR, street had been aban-
doned as site for the High
School, and that some other location
should be selected. Nevertheless, pro-
posals for the school on this site appear
in the official advertisements, and a
scheme of treachery without parallel
will be consummated unless, before 10

not yet been received, and it is generally
believed that the action of the old Board
was shrewd move to meet the Gov
ernor's views, and cause him to recall his
appointment of a new Commission. But
see the position the question is now in.
Either the Governor had the legal right
to depose the first Commission and
appoint new one, or he had
not. If he had the right, then the old
Commission was powerless to make the
selection, and their action is ultra vires.
If he had not the right, and should ap-
prove the latest action of the old Com
mission, the whole matter is put in so
equivocal a shape that it could only be
closed up at the termination Of
q tedious controversy in the
courts. So much for the muddle
that the Commission and the Executive
have put this whole business into.
Now for the selection just made. The
tract consists of $50 acres, and the State
is to pay $3.50, 900 for it if it is accepted.
That is at the rate of $27S an acre. The
land may be worth it, but the State does
not require 80 extensive a tract
for the proposed insane asylum.
If it had ii, it could not utilize it,
and would not know whai to do with it.
One hundred and fifty acres is all the
State could possibly put to practical use
| in connection with such an institution.
There is no labor worth speaking OF to be
got out Of the patients; and to have five
hundred and fifty acres of land attached
to an insane asylum would only add to
the expense of the istitution to no profit
able purpose. But we do not believe any
thing will come of this. The whole
business has been got into 80 great q
tangle that there is no unraveling it. AS
we read the law, the Governor can only
refuse to object to the cost of site, moi
to the selection itself. But Waterman
has treated the Commission all along as
if they were mere fgureheads, he being
the real power.
