About This Military Department..

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 4.-Briga-
der General Merritt, commanding the de-
partment of the Missouri, in his annual re-
port, speaking of affairs in Oklahoma, says
that the cattlemen show no disposition to
violate the conditions governing their stay.
Affairs in the territory have been exceed
ingly quiet. Owing to the severe drouth, the
result on the corn crop has been in many
sections almost total failure, and the farm
ing industry not having been sufficiently or
ganized to secure the planting of staples
which are most productive in that country
as wheat and cotton-there is considerable
restitution among the people in the country
districts, and aid will have to be extended to
about one-third of the population. In view
of the abandonment of Forts Ellis and Gibson
and Little Rock barracks, General Merritt
says it is important that post for at least
ten companies should be established near ST.
Louis. The reservation of Jefferson bar
racks naturally suggests itself as the proper
location for such post. The recent antlci-
pated troubles in the Chickasaw country
illustrated the necessity of having troops for
use in the Indian territory at some such
point as this. General Merritt also re-
commends that additional accommoda-
lions at Fort Reno be provided for two troops
OF cavalry. The garrison at Fort Sill should
be reduced as soon as possible, but this Is
not now practicable with the limited bar
racks and quarters in the department.. There
has been decrease in the number of deser-
tons, and, says General Merritt, everything
leads to the hope that the means taken to
combat this evil by congress and the war de-
partment will, in another year, mitigate, if
they do not wholly remove, q crime which
has been so serious to the army and the
country.

Detroit workingmen Awake.

DETROIT, November A meeting has
been held here in the interest of 1 cent car
fares and municipal control of street car
lines. Prof. n. A. Ford was chairman.
About sixty men were present. A COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon the legis-
lative candidates and ascertain if they will
favor an amendment to the city charter by
which Detroit may build, own and operate
street car lines. In case no pledge is OBJ
tanned the one centers will nominate can
didate of their own.
S. G. Howe argued that the Detroit city
railway made exhor0itant profits. Cameron
Currie had declared that the workingmen
saved s., 900 per month by cent fares
If the city railway, Mr.. Howe argued, lost
$1,000 per month by this small reduction
during two and one half hours each Gay,
what must they make by cent fare all day!
Mr.. Howe asserted that the company cleared
SIS to $50 per day on each car.

tioned-Packing Business Heavy,
With Hogs Lower.

NEw York. November 3.-R.. g. Dun l.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The approach of election has caused some
slackening of trade at many points which is
obviously temporary. But at nearly all
cities trade continues remarkably large and
the payments through all clearing houses
outside of New York for the month of Octo-
Der will probably be the largest ever recorded
in any month, exceeding those of last Octo-
Der by about Is per cent. and those of last
May. which were $2,3O7 ,ooO, 900, and the
largest ever known, by about 10 per cent.
Foreign trade for the month will certainly
prove much the largest ever known, and the
great industries are all unusually active.
Boston notes increased capacity by the
largest wooden mills. Manufacturers are
paying advanced prices for wool. Hides are
lower, but leather very firm. PHILADELPHIA
reports wool very firm and the trade healthy
and promising; greater trade than ever be-
fore IN paper, stationery, and leather pro-
ducts.
Reports as to collections throughout the
country are moro satisfactory.
There Is scarcely mention of complaint
or hardness. The money markets are about
as last reported, though firmer, with sharp
demand at Boston, firm but easier at Phila-
delphia, still tight at Chicago, and scarce at
8 per cent at St. Louis, somewhat stringent
with large demand at Cleveland and Detroit,
strong at per cent. at Milwaukee, tight at
Savannah, and with good demand at Denver,
but easy at Kansas City, and easier in spite
of the demand at New Orleans. The rates
at New York have varied widely The de-
mand from the interior does not cease. The
great industries are doing more on the whole
than at any time in the past. The packing
business is heavy and prices of pork pro-
ducts steady, with hogs 60 cents per 100
pounds lower.
The business failures during the last seven
days number 218, as compared with 225 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures yere 261.

CALLED BACK.

Judge CaldweIPs Decision Does It.
TOPEKA, KAN.-The decision of Judge
Caldwell, of the United States circuit court
for this district, in the Iowa original package
case, involving substantially the questions
involved in the case decided by Judges Fos-
ter and Phillips recently, created q great
deal of interest in this city. The prohibition
question has been agitated to such an extent
recently and the original package has been
up and down so many times, and with such
suddenness, that public sentiment is wrought
up and people are sharply divided on one
side or the other of the prohibition question.
Among the first to find out the decision of
Judge Caldwell, which is exactly opposed to
that of Judges Foster and Phillips, and
affirms the effectiveness of the Kansas and
Iowa laws and the constitutionality of the
Wilson bill, were the original package agents.
Some of them got the word fIom their
houses in Kansas City and others got it from
the morning paper. A few opened and sold
q short time before they knew of the deci-
sion, but they lost no time in tying Grape on
the door when they heard of the decision.
County Attorney WEIGH was asked if he
intended to prosecute the original package
men.
''Yes, sir; I shall arrest every single one
of them and prosecute them to the fullest
extent of the law for violating the prohibit
tory law of the state of Kansas"
will you prosecute them only for sales
made after Judge CaldwelPs decision was
rendered?'
81 shall prosecute them for every sale that
/ can get proof that they have made since
the Wilson bill went into effect"

A Kansas Daily Caught.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, November 1.-The
Leavenworth Times was refused admission
to the mails by Postmaster Rltchey because
it contained an account of the result of raffles
held at church fair. When Colonel An
thony heard of it he Immediately appeared
at the postoffice and demanded that the
papers be sent out. He was informed that
if the Objectionable articles were cut out
they would be, but not otherwise. He de-
clined to touch the papers and left threaten
ing to institute legal proceedings. Postmas-
ter Ritchey at once telegraphed to the post
Office department at Washington the facts
about the matter and asked for instructions.
He received a reply endorsing his action
and telling him to refuse to receive all papers
containing any such matter.

Chill is W1IIInr to RecIprocate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 1.-The de-
partment of state has received a dispatch
from Patrick Egan, United States minister
to Chilli, as follows: 81 have the honor to
inform You that in the course of an inter
view with the president of the republic, his
excellency expressed his most cordial ap-
proval of the several propositions which en-
anated from the international American con-
ference on the subjects of banking, uniform
customs, customs regulations and interna-
tional bureau for dissemination of infGrma-
ton concerning the American republics; uni
form weights and measures, uniform sanitary
regulations and international railway, and
especially of the proposed adoption of q
common silver coin for circulating in all she
American republics. This latter project
would, the president considers, by making
silver the American standard of values in
contradistinchon of gold as the European
standard, do more than any other movement
to extend and consolidate the influence of
the United States and increase her COM
merce with the republics of South America.
The president particularly requests that l
would convey his Vows upon this subject to
my government"

QUARTER CENTENNIAL.
Archbishop Fehau's Twenty-Five Years I'm
the Priesthood Duly Celebrated by
High Mass, Grand TorchIight Pro-
cession and Fireworks.
CabIsgran From the Pope Conveying Con-
Eratuiations and Benediction = Over
$4,000 Men in Line With TrsnsPar-
eneies and ColOred Lights-

Chicago, October 31.-The opening core
monies in connection with the twenty fifth
anniversary of Archbishop FchaA's elevation
TO the priesthood were held in the cathedral.
About 400 priests and many church dignita-
ries were present, and many persons were
unable to gain admission to the edifce on
account of the throng. Pontifcal high mass
was celebrated, with the archbishop as cele-
brant, and the sermon was preached by
Bishop Hogan, of Kansas City.
The Growing glory of the celebration was a
torchlight procession which, in point of mag
nitude and brilliancy, has probably never
been surpassed in the west. Over 5000
men we're in line bearing t-ansparencies,
hambeaus and colorei lights, while over the
entire line of march the streets seemed arched
in fire by the continuous stream OF rockets.
The mingling of many natlonalltles with
appropriate uniforms of the most varied and
gayest hues made the marching thousands
unique in their pictuesquesue. Peter klol-
bassa Polander, with long record OF gal
lantry in the American war, was chief mar
shall, and Thomas L. Harrington, West
Pointer served as adjutant general. The
English speaking parlsherS were led by Dan
iel Cookery. The enthusiasm displayed was
remarkable, both in the ranks and among
the thousands of spectators along the route,
particularly at the auditorium where Arch
bishop Fehan, surrounded by the visiting
prelates, watched the blazing torches and
acknowledged the apparently unending trib-
ute in his honor.
The following cablegram from his holi-
ness, the pope, was received: "Congratula-
tons to the archbishop. A benedlctiOn to
clergy and flock. LEO Kill"
Among the dignltaries participating in the
ceremony were the most Rev. ArchDishops
P. j. Ryan. of Philadelphia; Henry Elder,
of Cincinnati, and John Ireland. of St. Paul;
]. J. Hogan, bishop of Kansas City; Rt. Rev.
Richard Scanned, bishop of Concordia, Kan;
Ri. Rev. Thomas Bonacunt, bishop of Lin
coin, Neb.; Rt. Rev. John Moore, bishop of
St. Augustine, Fla, and Rt. Rev. John Hen
Messy, bishop of Wichita, Kan.

Parcels to be Shot Through Pneumatic

NV YoIK, November lone of the great
est schemes that have been on foot in New
York for some time is taking shape, and il
successful will revolutionize the method of
rapid transit for mail packages and the like
between this and neighboring cities.
The scheme is to lay g double pneumatic
tube between New York and Philadelphia,
and through it Is to be shot all kinds of
small matter that usually goes by mail or
express.
S. 3. Leake, of Philadelphia, is the in
Ventor of the new project, and hopes to have
it in working order soon. He expects that a
speed of four miles per minute can be at
tanned with all kinds of small articles.
Newark, Paterson, Trenton, New Bruins

switching system, which he claims will work
with eRRl.
The vehicle Is to be little car with wheels,
the bearings of which will be in a journal of

proposed as on the large railroads to prevent
accidents, an indicator telling at Just what
point the carrier is at g given time.
A test line is to be established between

condition of the digestive organs, but of re-
newing healthy action of the bowels and the
liver. Besides this, it counteracts a tenden-
cy to rheumatism and kidney complaint, ex-

potent restorative of strength which is fail

JUDGE CALDwELL's DECISION.
He Agrees With Shiras and Reverses Fos-
ter and PhiIIips

He Agrees With Shiras and Reverses Fos-
ter and Phillips.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, November 3.-United
States Circuit Judge Caldwell rendered an
opinion sustaining the constitutionallty of
the Wilson bill, or original package act. as
passed by the Fifty first congress.
The right to transport liquor from one
state to another included by implication the
right of the importer to sell it in the original
package in the state in which the transit
ended. By the act of congress the right
which the importer previously enjoyed of
selling the liquor in original package in the
state where the transit ended. regardless of
the laws of such state, is taken away by the
act declaring that the liquor ''shall npon
arrival in such state be subject to the laws
thereof"
1t was early decided that commerce be-
tween the states was subject only to regula-
tons imposed by congress-; that the states
could not interfere with or regulate such
commerce. And that until congress enacted
regulations on the subject 1t was free and
unrestricted.
Congress has exercised its power under the
constitution, and has declared that liquor
transported from one state to another shall,
upon arrival in such state, be subject to the
laws of such state, enacted in the exercise of
the police powers, to the same extent and in
the same manner as though such liquids or
liquors had been produced in such state, and
shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of
being introduced therein in original pack
ages or otherwise. The original package,
when it arrives within the state where its
transit terminates, is at once reduced to the
rank of domestic liquor; enjoys no privilege
not enjoyed by domestic liquor. and is SUBJ
iect to the operation and effect of such state
laws enacted in the exercise of its police
powers to the same extent and in the same
manner as domestic liquors.

spectIng the alleged imposition by Mexico of
discriminating duty of $500 per car load on
American cattle, which is reported from the
west. Acting Secretary Adee says that when
the Mexican government, by decree issued
year ago, increased the duty on imported
cattle and swine, (which were general duties
and not directed especially against the United
Statesl, the department of state was in
formed of the action within txenty-fou1

Mr.. AIlcutt said the hogs shipped into Mex
leo during the last two years was largely for
marketing and not for breeding purposes
There was a heavy imDort duty on lard, an
article which, in the present condition of
things, could not be imported into Mexico.
1t had been found more profitable to ship
the hogs and refine the lard in Mexico, and
then retail the meats, than to pay the duty
on the lard. But the report of the new duty
would have the effect of putting an end to
the live stock trade between the two coun-
tries, providing the duty was of the nature
and extent reported BY the papers.

REQUIRES a Full Bench.

WAsHIEUToN.-A motion was made in the
United States supreme court to advance the
arrest of the proprietors of original package
establishments in Kansas for violating the
prohibition law.
The point raised is that it is necessary for
Kansas to re-enact its prohibition law, after
the passage of the original package law by
congress, in order for it to become of effect
as against the selling of original packages.
The chief justice announced that the court
would not decide the motion until the va
cancy caused by Justice Miller's death had
been filed.

The Secretary of Agriculture Satisfied With
Everything and Everybody.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 31.-Secretary
Rusk, in answer to a question, said: ''We
shall have all the restrictions removed by the
English government from our cattle before
long. Our veterinarians who are are over
on the other side inform me that they have
not found the slightest trace of pleuro-
pneumonia since they arrived, in any cargo
of cattle exported from this country.
They say further that the English veterina-
rians tell them the last trace of the disease
found has disappeared. l think we will soon
be able to announce that the disease has been
stamped out in this country. The only
traces of it remaining are in herd down in
LongIsland, and we have that closely quar-
antined. l feel certain the restriction placed
on our cattle will be removed very soon now.
That will mean a difference of from So to
$12 head for our people. There will prob
ably be little talk when parliament opens,
but it will not amount to much"

''Has the action of the sugar bill resulted
to your satisfaction"
ENTIRELY. There is no doubt now but
that the beet sugar is beyond the expert
mental stage. The Nebraska factory when
left was producing 1215 per cent. of sugar,
or about thirty tons a day. Our experiments
made for the purpose of finding out the best
section for this industry have proven that the
beet needs rather cold climate.
They cannot grow successfully in a climate
that produces the sugar cane, but in colder
climates they do well. Wisconsin is one OF
the best states for successful prosecution OF
that industry, even better than Nebraska,
think.
To get the best results, however, care has
to be taken in growing the beet by careful
selection of seed, the saccharine matter can
be increased greatly.
In France and Germany they brought il
up from to Is per cent. Our experiments
have been undertaken with their seed. Il
will be great industry in time.

Jasper district court, giving Cooke & Wheeler,
stock dealers of Newton, judgment against
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad
for $27, 800. The case is important to stock
dealers generally. The Rock Island was in
the habit of giving certain favored shippers
a secret rebate on the freight paid on each

of this rebate system, and the court held that
it was unjust discrimination and that the
plaintiffs had been overcharged an amount
on each car they shipped equal to the rebate
given the other parties.
