For Cattlemen.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Supreme
Court of the United States to-day render
ed an opinion of considerable Importance
to cattlemen OF the west in the case of 7.
G. Kimmish, plaintiff in error, VS.. John
Ball and Henry Tienkin. The case in
wolves the constitutionality of the state of
Iowa making a person having in his pos
session within the state any Texas cattle
which have been wintered north of the
southern boundary of Missouri and Kan
sas liable for any damages that may &C
crue from allowing them to run at large
and thereby spread what is called Texas
fever. The two judges in the circuit court
of the United States for the southern
district were divided in opinion and the
case was sent here for final decision with
the record showing that the case had been
decided against the plaintiff on the ground
that the Iowa statute was in interference
with interstate and also in vio-
lation of constitutional provision giving
citizens of the several states all the privil-
eyes and lmmunities OF citizens of any
state.
The supreme court holds that the Iowa
statute is not In conflict with the para
mount authority of congress to regulate
interstate commerce. 1t is unable to see
that the statute has anything to do with
such commerce. The case, it says, is not
one of a restriction of commerce, but sim
ply a requirement that whoever permits
diseased cattle to run at large shall be
liable for any damages occasioned thereby
and the court entertains not the slightest
doubt of the right of any state to enact
such a statute. 1t further holds hat as
citizens of Iowa are liable under the statute
the same as citizens of other states, there
is no force in the objection that the law is
contrary to the clause of the constitution
granting equal rights in the several states
to all citizens of the United States.

Moore's Defalcation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-Interest in
the great Moore defalcation continues
undated. The current report now has it
that his shortage will reach six figures,
and that nothing short OF a million will
cover the hole in the surplus OF the Con.
necticut Mutual company. The insurance
company's representative now here, how
ever, absolutely denies this, and asserts
that his shortage will not run a particle
above the first announcement. All sorts
Of startling rumors about Moore are con.
stantly in circulation. but there is little
foundation for them. lie remains quietly
at ZONE, and it now seems probable that
he will not be arrested. 1t is even stated
that the company will not enter into legal
proceedings against him. He has turned
over all his available property to rccoup
their losses as far as possible, though this
represents only about 800, 900. Financial
authorities here are at loss to satisfactorily
explain the success of Moore's method Of
embezzlement through such a long period
as 1t was carried on. 1t trauspires that
Moore has looked to his family's welfare
by placing IN insurance on his life, he
carrying not less than $S5, 900 in personal
policies which cannot be seized by his
creditors.

RumOred Rupture in the Cabinet.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-A Washington
special to the Post says: There has been
for several days a runner that there is a
sharp difference of opinion in the cabinet
on account of the Samoan complication.
The latest form which this rumor has
taken is that Secretary Whitney or Secre-
tary Bayard may resign. Attempts made
this morning to obtain any authorized in
formation on this subject were not sue
cessful. a United States senator says he
is informed that there is much feeling be-
tween the president and the secretary OF
state on account of the Samoan matter,
and that the arrangement is of a serious
character. This senator says the presi-
dent holds Secretary Bayard responsible
for the situation, while the friends of
Secretary Bayard insist that the president
has interfered in the affairs OF the state
department and is wholly responsible.

Loved a Pretty Cashier.

New YORK, Jan. 2S.-The mystery
surrounding Eugene Barrett's at
tempt to kill himself on a train near Bos-
ton recently was dispelled this afternoon.
He loved a pretty cashier in a downtown
drug store and she would not let him walk
home with her. The word Sadie, writ
ten on the papers in his pockets, referred
to her. Her name is Sadie Sullivan, and
she is Just seventeen years old. Young
Barrett began to love her last iall. He
passed half his time drinking sodawater
and smoking cigarettes in the drug store
where she was employed. Two or three
times he made such a sensation by trying
to hold her hand that the proprietor or
dered him out. He walked home with
Sadie every night and was altogether such
a nuisance that Sadie was eventually told
that he or she must go.
