Fatality Among Cattle.

WINFIELD, kas. Aug. 2.-Cattlemen
from the Indian territory report that
Texas fever is playing havoc among the
cattle in the territory. Over forty head
were seen dead in one pasture alone, and
in others, numbers varying from'seyen to
twenty-five. They also stated that hun
drcds of cattle were dying III ohlal,on,a,
and predicted that there would not be
living head of the cattle imported into
that country from the states OF Kansas
and Nebraska in two months. The fatal
ity among cattle in Oklahoma is not
caused so much from Texas fever as from
the effect the more southern climate has
on them. Reports from Guthrie, Okla

ritory veriiy this statement.

A LITTLE RACKET.
The Fisheries Dispute Again Attracting
General Attention.


y WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Assistant Seer
{ tary of the Treasury Tichenor, in ta
with Post reporter about the, Behrir
sea seizures, said:
There will be no child's play abop
' this administration. The officers of tn
: revenue cutters in Behrng sea have plain
. unequivocal orders. They will seize ever
vessel, American or British. found violat
ing the law. Great Britain claims tn
right to the fisheries, it is true, but Grea
Britain is in the habit OF claiming every
thing. All idea OF redress or indemnity
under the circumstances is absurd. The
matter will be treated as Il small tres
pass"
Commissioner OF Customs uollaIay
said:
The only trouble iswe have not enough
vessels in Behring sea to properly defend
the fisheries. No men Of war, | think, are
on duty at Behring sea. If ANYTHING is
done by the English government it will
probably be an offset to our claim of the
Canadian fisheries"
Bangor, Me-, Aug. 1.-As Sec. Blaine
passed through the city last evening a re-
porter called his attention to the declara-
ton OF the Boston papers to-day to the
effect that it would be impossible for the
national government to sustain the pre.
tentlon of Sec. Blaine, that the Behring
sea Is dstinctively American waters. The
secretary simply remarked that it might
De well lor the papers in question to in
dlcate the occasion, official or unofficial
where he had said anything at all on that
point. Mr.. Blaine further stated that
everything done in the fur seal question
since the 4th of last March was in literal
compliance with the directions contained
in the act of congress and approved bv |
President Cleveland the last dav of his |
term.
New fork,-A special from Montreal
SAYS that the city is in a perfect furor OF
excitement over the seizure of the schooner
Black Diamond. The expressions heard
on every hand are that unless the vessel
is released and full indemnity paid by the
United States, this government must take
the consequences OF what NAV follow.
There is almost as much disgust expressed
at the action of England in this business.
and If she will not help Canada to uphold
her honor it is openly limited that the
sooner Canada takes the defense of that
honor into her own hands the better.
Both of the morning papers publish strong .
eaders demanding immediate action on
he part OF England or their own govern-
nent to prevent these seizures, or else to
Freak of all relations with the United
states until final settlement OF the trouble
$ arrived at.
, Ottawa, Aug. 2.--The report that the
canadian government had urged an adop-
ion OF a retaliatory policy in regard to
he seizure of the schooner Black
diamond is untrue. The cabinet after
lscusslng the matter forwarded two tele-
rams from Victoria to the governor gen
raj with a request that they be forward
d to the colonial Office. The cabinet
lso requested that her majesty's govern
lent should adopt prompt measures to
rotect British subjects on high seas.

President Free from Pledges.

The country Is realizing the advantage OF
O President who will go into Office absolute
~ without embarrassing pledges of any
kind. The manner of General Harrison s
nomination and election was probably with
put precedent in this regard, being entirely
free from any sort Of political deal or COM
bination. The campaign. so far as ne is
concerned, was conducted on the same prin-
ciple of absolute Independence and individ-
ual freedom. Whatever pledges, states or
combinations were made ny others. were at
their own risk, and General Harrison was
free to approve or cIsapprove to adopt or
reject them, as he saw TT. All this is inur-
ing to the advantage of the Republican
party and the country.
General Harrison is free to seek all the
light and information he wants. and finally
to act on his own responsibility in al mat
tiers. As the constitution and the people
have put the responsibility on him, this is
precisely what he should do. The people
have learned by this time, says the In
dianapoiis Journal, TO have great confidence
In his judgment, bravery and tirmness, and
his determination to do the right thing. and
1t is fortunate for the country, as well as
himself, that he Is free from personal
pledges or combinations of any kind. Gen
eral Harrison is a man VINO recognizes one
responsibility as supreme, and the limiia-
tons of that will always be fixed by his
own conscience After that he viii be re-
sponsible TO the constitution, the people and
the country at large, but cliQues and com
binations are ruled out. This is good
thing for the party and the country.
