The Arkansas Method.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 5.-Up in the
room of the house committee on elections
stood ballot box tha. will figure in the de-
bate on the Feathe rstone- Cate election case.
The box is plainly and simply made of tin
and LOOKS like any ordinary cheap ballot
box. But there Is peculiarly about it
that appears only upon close inspection.
The orifce wherein the ballots are placed
is double, so that ballot if placed in one
side slips into the box, but if placed into
the other slides unpercelved down into
waste basket or upon the floor. The con-
testant + eatherstone) asserts that twenty
one of these boxes were used in one county
at the election in Arkansas. and as the re-
publican ballots were marked In blue to
distinguish them. it was an easy matter for
the democratic election managers to see
that they did not go into the the ballot
boxes and get counted. The double slip
around the orifce can be readily taken off,
leaving the box absolutely honest in ap-
pear nee.

Getting Through With Their Work

Getting Through With Their Work.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 5.-The dele
gates to the International conference are
beginning to talk about final adjournment,
which will probably take place about April
/. Nearly all of the committees have made
their reports and several of them have been
already adopted. The report of the COM
mlttee on customs union, which considered
reciprocity treaties, is IN the hands of the
printer. The three committees on cable
communication on the At antic and Carib-
bean sea have their reports prepared and
they are now being translated. The reports
of the committees on customs and regula-
tions and the committee on port duties are
both about ready to submit to the confer
ence.
The committee on extradltion and bank
ing will finish its labor5 within few days.
The committee on arbitration has agreed
to report in favor of the adoption of that
means of settling all international ques-
tions, but has not agreed upon any plan
yet. The committee for a monetary con-
vention will make two reports. These re-
ports are in the hands of the printer now,
and will be submitted soon. The reports
of the committee on railway cOmmunica-
ton, sanitary regulations and weights and
measures have already been adopted by the
conference, while the reports of the COM
mittee on patents and trade marks aud IN
ternational law are regular orders for the
consideration of the conference.

Paddock introduced bill for the establish
ment of bureau of animal industry, to
prevent the expectation of diseased cattle,
and TO provide for the suppression and e1-
tirpation of pleuro-pneumonia and other
contagious diseases among domestic AMI
mails. This bill. which is intended as a
substitute for various measures on the
same topic that have been before the senate,
provides that bureau of animal industry
shall be established. The secretary of agri
culture shall prepare and enforce ru es for
the supp ess on and extirpation of all dis
eases of.cattle, especially p!euro-pneumonia

STOCK AND FARM.

Salina Republican: A Saline county
farmer has made S1O.70 per acre out of
his land that was planted in corn, and
he sold the corn for only sixteen cents
per bushel.
Russell Springs Republican: Still
the plowman turns the furrow and
! whistles merrily. Flowing twelve
months in the year is how Kansas can
raise such crops of corn and wheat.
Osborne News: The country Is be-
ing canvassed by cattle dealers from
abroad, and our local dealers are begin
nIng to scour the hills and valleys for
stock, all of which is an indication that
the market is on the upgrade.
Independence Kansan: The work of
plowing for spring crops has been in
progress on good many farms in this
county for several days, and. if fact.
we doubt if there has been week dur
ing the winter in which the ground
was not open for plowing.
Osborne Farmer: Prices on cattle of
all kinds are gradually advancing. and
numerous stock feeders are securing
the country in search of cattle and
hogs. Hold on until spring, as the
present indications point to exceeding
ly good prices at that time.
Atchison Champion: Walter For
man, for many years resident of Os-
borne county, has gone to Sheridan
county, taking with him seven teams.
He will put in 600 acres of broom corn
about four miles from Hoxie. This land
is all sod and will have to be broken.
For many years Mr.. Forman has been
known as the largest broom corn raiser
in northwest Kansas. He has resided
in Alton for man years.
Parsons Journal: The general feel
ing among cattlemen that there is
money to be made during the next year
or two in tn ir business is resulting in
a very perceptible stiffening in the
price of stock cattle. Young cattle are
especially in demand, one lot of year
ling steers that we heard of having been
sold the other day for SIC head. This
activity in the stock market has had the
effect, also, of strengthening the price
of corn to no small degree. Feeders
are paying II and Is cents a bushel,
and one man told us the other day that
he expected topay 20 cents for several
hundred bushels that he needed to car
ry him through. All of which goes to
show that we are on the up grade.

Trade Review,

New YORK, March 3.-R. G. Dun & Co.
weekly review of trade says:
Unreasonable weather and growing doubts
about the monetary future do not help busi-
ness. and reports this week are less encour-
aging. Yet, it must be remembered, that
to be much influenced by disappointment
of past hopes, SO that they consider trade
unsatisfactory because it Is not up to their
expectations; because distribution does not
sultce to clear away stocks purchased,
though the amOInt of transactions may be
larger than a year ago. To the trader who
bought 70 per cent. more than in any pre-
viods season, but has only sold 5 per cent.
more, business is unsatisfactory. The pre-
vailing tone Just now is one of discourage
ment Boston notes little improvement.
The Philadelphia dry goods market lacks
life. At ST. Louis the distribution of sea-
sonable goods is fair IN volume and cO.lec-
tions satisfactory. The boot and shoe trade
is fairly active, but there is little trading in
wool. Trade is reported good at Omaha,
only fair at Kansas City, and up TOT the
average at st. Paul and many other points.
Collections are generally reported fair.
The movement of breadstutts Is still heavy,
and exports, both of wheat and corn, greatly
exceed last years. After a drop of about a
cent in each, wheat recovered TO an eighth
above last weeks pric S. ar1 corn to five-
eighths abo5e, with fair TRANSACTIONS in
each.
The business failures occurring through
out the country were .01, as compared with
a total of 290 last week.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Arkansas City Traveller: Sunday
night eighteen trains were sent out of
the SantaFe yards in this city. Sever
al nights since, twenty-three trains
were handled in the yards from sun
down to sunrise.
After February 25 the rate on corn
in carload lots, from all points in Kan
sas and Nebraska to Memphis is re-
duced cents per hundred weight, sub
iect to a minimum weight of 20 cents
per hundred weight. Points south of
Memphis will take rates differentially
higher.
The st. Lonis Globe-Democrat says
that passenger rate war between the
Rock Island and the Atchison. Topeka
Il Santa Fe is imminent. One alleges
that the mileage books of the other are
altogether too often in scalpers' hands;
the other charges that its competitor is
issuing passes and half-rate tickets to
secure business.
Sharon Springs Leader: A charter
for new railroad has been filed with
the secretary of state for road COM
mencinG at Denver. Colorado, and ter
miuating at some point on the coast OF
Texas. 1t passes through Sherman,
Wallace, Greeley and several other
counties in western and southwestern
Kansas. The road will be more than
1000 miles in length and pass through
the richest portion of the west and will
furnish another outlet to country un-
surpassed for grain and stock growing.

Who Owns the Conxent2

PrTrsBURe, Pa, March 5.-The Ursulrns
nuns are in open rebellion against his holi-
ness the pope. The troubles of this sister
hood, which have covered several years,
were supposed to have ended some months
ago when, with the sanction of the authori-
ties at Rome, it was arranged that the en-
tire property owned by the nuns should be
turned over to Bishop Swiss upon payment
of $4,000. Ex-Mother superior Alphonse,
however, has now gone back on this COM
promise and has placed the fourteen acres
with the building in the hands of a real
estate agent to be disposed of. She claims
that herself and her associates organized
the institution. secured the necessary funds,
and hold the title, and that they do not re-
gard the ecclesiastical law as rising superior
to the laws of Pennsylvania. The fight,
which Will now proceed with increased Bit
terness on both sides. is of interest to the
Catholic church throughout the world, as it
is the first time that sisternood has openly
defied the authority of the Holy POntiff.

A CHEROKEE PROTEST.
Chief MayeS' Letter to the
President.
He Claims Fifty Years UndIsputed
Possession, With no Challenge of
Title. But Strengthened by Court
Decisions and Treaties.

VINIrA, L T., March 4.-Chief Mayes, of
the Cherokees, has written a letter to the
president regarding the recent proc anna
ton ordering the cattle of the Cherokee
strip. in which he protests strongly against
the action of the government in thus de-
priving them of what he claims 10 theirs by
every law of God and man. He states that
the Cherokees have been taught that the
land is theirs: that they have been taught
80 by administration after administration,
and BY treaty after treaty, for the last half
century. He states further that they hold a
patent to the lands, signed by Martin Van
Buren, when he was president, and that the
Cherokees have always regarded this as a
sacred documeut; that they have baen
taught, time after time. by the missionaries
to look upon the great fat er at Washing
ton with feelings of reverence, but that this
fes ling cannot remain il they are compel ed
to leave the homes which they have occu-
pied for generations and seek new ones.
He points out that they were. without their
consent, removed from their former homes
east of the Mississippi river. and that if
they are again driven from their homes it
will be the beginning of the end.

Mr.. Manyel Says No.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March "A. j. Van
landingham. commissioner of tn, Kansas
City Transportation bureau. met Allen
Marvel, president of the Atchison. Topeka
Santa railroad, at the Union depot. and
rode with him in his special car as far as
Topeka. Mr.. Vanlandinsham took advan-
tage of the opportunity offered to talk with
MIR. Marvel on the subject of an early west
bound train from Kansas City. The presi-
dent of the Santa Fe system had very little
encouragement to offer Kansas City in its
movement to secure early trains, and he
was free to express the opinion that they
would not be put on in the near future.
Mr.. Vanlandin ham returned to Kansas
City with A. A. Robinson in his private car.

In an early day he settled in Jackson
