Nine States and Territories in whick steckraising is a leading industry re- ported 14,o00000 of cattle in 1887 and it is thought that the number for 1888, if all the reports were complste, would be 20,0000o0. The same dis tricts contained but 6,000,000 cattle in 1881. These figures show the rapid growth of the cattle industry in the United Statss, and partially account for the depressed condition st the beet and cattle market during the last three years.

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
UltIa Loyalist Speeches Indulsed in
Reciprocity Debate Gets Quite
Exciting

OTTAWA. Ont, March 10.
Budget debate continued in Parliament TO-
night. Thou n Sir Richard Cartrights re.
oluton in favor of closer trade relations
with United States would undoubtedly be
voted down by government supporters.
such action hardly indicates the feeling of the
people. Debate was resumed in the afternoon
by Cockburn of Toronto, who delivered an
ulualoyal speech. He instituted compari-
sons TO show that the various provinces OF
Canada are enjoying greater prosperity than
various states In the Union. He said the de-
cline in land values in New York state from
1870 10 1850 was s270 900 900. Ontario for
the same period experienced an increase OF
S6G 250 900, and asserted that three quarter
of the farms of New York state were mort
gagged. Amercss alleged aristocracy lived
only for booile. He had nothing kind TO say
about plutarchy. All Americans wanted was
to trade with Cauada and give nothing in
return. If Canada, a, opposition contendei
really wanted closer trade relations
1t would be better to look back to l777,
when the United States made an offer which
sill holds good. for Canada to become q
portion of the American union on the same
terms as the States forming the Uniol. The
resolutions of Congressman Hit were en-
tended they wanted only unrestricted reci-
procity. ''Ile made a miss" iaughingl
replied Sir John Mcdonald. The resolu-
tions, continued the speaker, declared for
commercial union. This meant political
union and the liberals could not deny it
Commercial union would abolish custom
houses, discriminate against England and
return for her sacrifice the favors ofCanala.
Continuing amid Interruptions, he held up
the American political cartoon in which the
American flag triumI hlntly waved over the
union jack and the forms Of prostrate trades
men. He called on the liberals 10 alter their
course if they were loyal subjects and de
.red to live under the folds of the union
jack The Monroe doctrine would never he
realized in America. The Ame rican Union
cannot enter into restr cted reciprocity with
Canada. If the, d.I i would be violation
of their treaties with other nations. Canada
is not for sale. Gene what will she will
work ont her own destiny.
Mr.. Temple, liberal, favored unrestricted
reciprocity.
Hon. John Haggart, postmaster general
went on to prove that unrestricted rec iproclty
and commercial union are one and the same
thing, and that both required the common
American tariff. Th, he claimed would be
against England.

Another big addition is promised to Maine
horses within few weeks. Mr.. C. II, Nell
son the owner of Sunnyside Stock Farm
started yesterday for Kentucky to complete
the purchase and bring home another son of
Dictator. The one selected is out of a dam
hv the celebrated Nutwood and must be a
leclded acquisition to the breeding stock of
Maine The worth of this breeding estab
lishment is not realized even by the breeders
of Maine Nowhere else in New England is
us equal either in numbers or character
of stock, The coming season will show the
merit of some of these trotters.
IL will be a remarkable string of trotters
to go out from one stable owned by one man,
when Dictator Chief 2,2l l2, Nelson 2.2l
| 1 and Aubine 2.27 IA start the coming
season on their campaign, when la Wood
bury the driver confidently expects to land
all three considerably inside the 220 class.
Red Hawk by Red Wilkes and Brilliant by
Young Rolfe are two others that promise a
low record when brought to the test on Maine
tracks this year. The son of Young Rolfe,
the sire Of y .lson, has for some time
been selected as coming trotter and his re-
cent actions set men wild over his possibili-
ties.

GETTING WARNER.
Tho People Of Pittaheid and Detroit In
Hot Water


PiTrsrIELD, March 10.
A good deal of III feeling has been gener.
ated between the towns of Pitt.feld and
Detroit by the Sebasticook bridge quarrel
and lawsuit between the towns seems inev.
table at this writing. Pittsfieid is a much
larger and more populous town than De.
troi,, and can pay for her half of the bridge
much easier than the latter town can. The
people of Pittsfield claim that all of the
steps have been legally taken and that De-
trot mnst ray for one half of the bridge
while Detroit inhabitants say there are flaw .
in the proceedings that will enable the town
to avoid payment. Detroit has for over a
quarter of century successfully com
batted the bridge. and the inhabitants now
claim that they will fight it out TO the bitter
end. They threaten TO boy colt all produc-
tons and business of Pittsteid. a1d some of
them are already putting their words into
action. Piitsheldites are resting in the firm
belief that there is no possible way for De
troit to avoid paying for her share Of the
bridge
A hot Indignation meeting was held in
Detroit Monday evening. The church in
the village was crowded, and the speakers
who declared for fighting out the battle TO
the bitter end were vigorously appauded /.
The Detroit police declare that if any more
seizures are made they will resort to force
to get back their belongings
One of the farmers whose property was
levied on Thursday, says If any blanked
Plushelder dares to lay hands on my cattle
again I'll shoot him on the spot"
As the county commissioners regard the
action of Detroit as a rebellion against their
authority and are determined to crush it,
more exciting scenes may be expected. 1t
will be fortunate if bloodshed is avoide |.
Thus far the peace has not been broken and
the cool ones say, Lets fight, but with the
weapons of he law only"

by Yale Students.


New HAVEN, Conn, March 10.
The Y ile faculty students as body and
resident alumni are very indignant tonight
over the acton of party of under gradu-
ates who last right pulled over the statue OF
Prof Benjamin Slliman.
Late last night a party of students who
had been out on lark secured a rope and
quickly threw moose around the honorable
Benjamin's neck. few vigorous pulls and
the statue came down head first The neck
of the statue is badly cracked and the body
slightly bent. A piece Clipped off the gran
ite base of the statue stood Mt ar the entrance
of Bassell chapel. 1t is of bronze, eight
feet in height and stood on a granite pedestal
five feet high. 1t is quite heavy and must
have required the strength of dozen men to
bring it down from the pedestal The pro-
fessors when they saw the result of the mis-
chief this morning expressed themselves in
the most vigorous language. The indications
are that an investigation and several sus-
pensions will follow.

THAT ILLINOIS POSTMASTER
Who Shows Great Political Activity IL
Being Considered by the Cabinet

The cabinet meeting to-day considered the
case of an Illinois postmaster whose removal
is asked by an Illinois Congressman because
of the pos,master's politics. HE ACTIVITY is
admitted BY the Congressman, and the office
is well managed. The matter was called
to the attention of the cabinet for the reason
that if action was taken in this case it might
constitute a precedent hereafter. Postmaster
General Wsnnamsker said tonight he did
not feel at liberty to talk about what took
place at the cabinet meeting, but he had
reason to believe the result was adverse to
the wishes of the Congressman.
