TIME EXTENDED.
The President Willing to Meet the
Cattlemen's Desires.
A WRITTEN GUARANTEE REQUIRED
And the Time For Cattle to Leave the
Strip May BE Extended to Decem-
Der 1-Satisfactory to Stock
Dealers

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept 5.-A dis
patch from Washington states that
Major Calvin Hood, of Emporia, Kan,
had been in Washington several days in
the interest of the cattlemen of the
West, asking the President that the
time for the removal of cattle from the
Indian Territory be extended to Decem-
Der 1, as owing to the drought in the
Territory and throughout the West cat
tie are unfit for market and that it
would be disastrous TO all cattle inter
ests to enforce the order of removal of
cattle. from the Strip by October l.
The President assured Mr.. Hood that
II there should be presented to him a
written guarantee signed by the per-
sons having cattle upon the Cherokee
Strip that they would remove one-half
of them on or before November 1, 1890,
and the remaining half of the cattle, to-
gether with their employees and prop
erty, and entirely abandon all claims
upon the Strip by December l, 1890, in
view Of such guarantee the order of re-
moval would be so modified.
A number of cattle dealers and CON-
mission men were interviewed last
night as to whether the extension of
time for the removal of one-half of the
cattle by November l and the other
half by December 1 would be satisfac-
tory to the cattlemen in the Cherokee
Strip Mr.. S. II. Daniels, livestock
agent of the Wabash, and Mr.. w. P.
Herring, livestock agent of the St
Xh,A
modified as explained in the dispatch
would be satisfactory to the cattlemen
In general and the Cherokee Strip
dealers in particular.
Mr.. K NJ. Potter, of Peabody, thought
that the Cherokee Strip cattlemen would
sign such an agreement willingly. Mr..
s. w. Stoores of Burlingame, Kan,
thought that the arrangement would be
satisfactory to the cattlemen. Mr.. o.
b. Nelson, of Panhandle, Tex, thought
that the telegram was a little am
biguous in that it did not say whether
the cattle were to be estimated from
the date of the modification Of the or
der or whether the cattle originally in
the Territory viii be taken as a basis
for the estimate However, he con-
sidered the news welcome, no matter
which way the dispatch is interpreted
Ex-senator Hewins. of Cherryvale,
president of the Cherokee Strip Live
Stock Association, is interested in the
cattle business in the Strip more than
any other man in the country. He left
for Kansas, but before going he stated
that he would be satisfied if the Presi-
dent would extend the time of the evac-
uation of the Cherokee Strip to Decem-
Der L The grounds upon which he
asked for and urged the extension were
that 1t would bring down the price of
cattle all over the Southwest to have
the cattle rushed out of the Territory
before October L Not only would the
:attIsszsn suffer. but the farnars

The Truth Out.

BENTLEYvfLLE, Pa, Sept S-The
eight-year-old son of Anna Brundale,
who, with the negro West are in Jail on
suspicion of having committed the rob-
berry and murder of the three Crouches
last May, was threatened by Homer
Harvey, the reputed father of the boy,
if he did not keep quiet This aroused
suspicion, and the boy was induced to
give up the secret, which was that he
had heard West tell his mother that the
money was hidden in the coal mines.
1t was found, and answered to the
amount supposed to have been in the
.,oss.-; on 0f the Crouches at the time
of the muIdvr-SS, 000.
New YORK, Sept AT a meeting Of
the Produce Exchange, with about if
teen hundred members and merchants
present reciprocity was advocated
by Consul General Williams, Of Ha-
vana At the close of his remarks a
resolution was adopted that the New
York Produce Exchange as a body
sought Congress to urge such acts Of
legislation or diplomatic negotiations as
would ensure the enlargement of these
foreign markets to American products.
1t was resolved to telegraph the resolu-
ton to Senators Evarts and Hiscock at
Washington at once.

MOHLER,S REPORT.
Corn Shows Badly-Other Crops and Pros
poets Good.


poets Good.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept s-Secretary
Mohler, of the State Board of Agricult-
ure, has issued his monthly report 1t
makes discouraging showing on corn.
Only 56.4 per cent. Of the corn area OF
the State is worth harvesting and the
average yield for the State is but six
teen bushels an acre. The total
corn product is estimated at 5O,OOO,-
600 bushels. This estimate is about
so per cent lower than the secretary's
estimate month ago. Nearly all the
corn grown this year is in the eastern
third of the State. All other crops are
good and there has been decided I'M
provement this month. The wheat
product is estimated at $4,000, 600 bush
els. Broom corn, tame grasses, hay and
millet show improvement Of the corn
area not worth harvesting go per cent
is reported cut up for feed. Rains IN
all parts of the State have made
an abundance of feed, with the
exception of the counties west OF Sallna
on the Union Pacific road, and north OF
those there will be sufficient amount
of feed to carry the stock now on hand
through the winter in good shape.
In conclusion the secretary says that
on the whole the outlook in Kansas Is
more encouraging than it has been, and
the prospect for vigorous and thrifty
growth of wheat and rye during the fall
is better than it has been in many por-
tions Of the State for some years.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
A Succession of Mishaps on a Connecticut
Railroad.

A Succession of Mishaps on Connecticut
Railroad.
NoRwALK, Conn, Sept Sit now ap-
pears that the railroad accident at South
Norwalk last evening was the third
that occurred to the express on the
run from Boston. The train left
Boston at noon and reached Hart
ford on time at 3:15 p m. Passengers
on the train say it was an hour late at
South Norwalk because of two accidents.
just below Hartford a woman who was
crossing the track was struck and killed,
and just below Meriden two men walk
ing on the track were hit and fright
fully hurt. All three accidents occurred
when the train was running at reduced
speed.
Nor were these three accidents all for
which this train was responsible. The
Housatonic train, after dropping its two
damaged cars, had lost its right Of way
over the single track of the Danbury 81
Norwalk division and was run on the
switch at the fair grounds, four miles
north, to allow a mixed trcin to pass.
The latter train came down the grade at
high rate of speed. The freight cars
passed the switch, but the truck OF the
passenger car took the rails of the side
track and then crashed against the
Housatonic engine, which was disabled.
The passenger car was only slightly
damaged, but brakeman on the rear
end was severely injured by being
thrown to the ground

FALSE REPORT.

Report in the East That the Farwen House
Was Embarrassed Emphatically Denied.
CHICAGO, Sept "a report from the
East was received on the Stock Exchange
yesterday saying that rumors of the fail
ure of the great dry goods firm of ]. V.
Farwell & Co., of this city, were current
in the East The cause of the failure
was attributed by some to the alleged
interest of the firm in the recent COL
lapse of Potter, Lowell &c Co., of Boston.
j. V. Farwell, Jr., who was seen at
his Office, emphatically denied the story
which he characterized as a malicious
lie. II can not too strongly repudiate
that report" said he. 'It is malicious
as we'll as false and absurd in the bar
gain, but the worst of it is that very
often the more absurd falsehood is
the more mischievous it is. All mer-
camille concerns depend largely for
their success upon their reputation
in the mercantile world for solvency
and sound financial basis. Every re-
port of this kind that is circulated or
published is therefore calculated to do
harm, although it may be false. The
worst of it is that not knowing the
sources from which they emanate we
are powerless to stop It Our only re-
course is to publicly deny every such
rumor, and deny it as emphaticsIIy and
strongly as we can"
'Was the firm involved deeply in the
bankruptcy of Potter, LoTell & COP"
Our transactions WITH Potter, Lowell
&c Co were never of Such a character or
extent as to involve us in any way in
the financial complications and troubles
that have overta&en that firm"
DO you think that the report that
Colonel Abner Taylor was largely in
volved in the failure gave rise to the
rumor about your firm?'
don't know any thing about that, /
can't say any thing about Mr.. Taylor's
business and 1 would rather not talk
ABOUT this idle and mischievous canald
were 1t not that 1 suppose it may find
Its way into the newspapers As 1 said
before can not conjecture what gave
rise to 1t unless it may be the sinister
designs of evil disposed persons"

tarwell are greatly exaggerated. He
is steadily improving at Waukesha.

throughout the Western States would be
greatly damaged by the fall in prices.
The excessive drought of the summer had
prevented the fattening of cattle, and
many of the herds were in condition
totally unfit for the market But more
than all, Senator Hewins insisted that
the time should be extended because
the quarantine does not close until No
vember Is. After this cattle can be
driven out of the Territory into the
Northern and Western States, but the
only other mode of getting rid of them
was by shipping them via the railroads
direct to the markets. The fifteen DAYS
between November Is and December l,
he thought, would prove ample time to
allow the cattle not ready for the mar
ket to be driven to other States and Ter
ritorieS-
Local cattle dealers stated last night
that Major Calvin Hood, whose name is
connected with the dispatches, was a
partner of United States Senator Plumb.
He had been in the cattle business for
many years and understands the situa-
ton thoroughly.

UNNECESSARY Concealment.

AS the facts about the career OF
SrANLKY's rear guard come to light 1t
gets TO be more aud more apparent that
he and his associates made mistake IN
attempting TO conceal anything when
they submitted to tho world report of
tho incidents OF the last African expedi-
ton. They should have made o clean
breast at once.
General GREELEY made the same mis-
take concerning his Arctic experience.
He supposed that it would DO possible
forever to hide from the people the fact
that his company TO sustain life had TO
feed upon their dead comrades. The
first whisper Of this sort when the survi-
vors reached this country was met with q
flat denial. But the truth broke through
the red tape spread TO suppress 1t, and all
the world now knows of the extremity to
which GRRELEY'smen were forced, and
the terrible alternative they had between
thom and death.
Whether it was regard for the memo
nv Of the murdered Major BABTEL-
lot or consideration for his own fame,
one or both, STANLEY erred insuppressing
the disgraceful episodes in the history OF
the rear guard which have blackened the
names of BARTRLLOT and JAMESON.
Now We hear from London that there IS
general disgust with STANLEY and the
whole party, and that in all probability
STANLEY will not get his expected knight
hood.
Had the truth been told in the usual
unirnpassioned official style it would
have caused but a momentary shock.
Now we hear people narrating In highly
dramatic style how JAMESON encouraged
by his presence, if he did not actually
contrive 10 have, a cannibal feast.
We SEQ people very frequently try
ing to keep out of the papers" things
that are impossible of suppression.
Nine times ont of ten the better way
which is also the honest way-for all
concerned is TO let the truth appear and
take the consequences.
This would have been the wise course
in the GREEDY and in the rear guard
cases.
Public opinion cannot hold STANLEY
responsible for Encouragement, cruelty,
and general shamelessness in the rear
guard when he was hundreds of miles
away, but it wonders that, with his
newspaper experience, he did not boldly
report the facts upon his return to Eu-
rope,

The Oemocrats and the Tariff.


Saltwater Democrat, " whose com
munication is published in this issue, is q
gentleman who has distinguished him
self in journalism, upon the hustings,
and in the performance of responsible
public duties. He has o patriotic heart
and q clear head.
We are inclined to believe with him
that Mr.. BLAINE will have much to do
with the reorganization Of the Republi-
can party for 1892, and that we ought to
beware of so astute and tireless an ad-
yersary. 1t is exceedingly probable
that the Republicans will try to shift
their position on the tariff, and there is
likelihood that the reciprocity idea of
Mr.. BLAINE will be the line behind
which they will endeavor to reasonable
their shattered columns for tho greater
fight of two years hence.
The warnings Of our correspondent
will do good. OF course the Democrats
should not push their tariff policy "too
near the free-trade mark" We do not
believe they will do so but it is well for
our leaders to hear from the people,
especially when m expression of popu-
lar sentiment comes from such a graceful
writer as Saltwater Democrat.

The Bnrings'e DlaicuIties.

The financial difficulties Of the banking
firm OF Barring BRoTHEBs a Co., now
happily ended through the Intervention
OF tho Bank Of England syndicate, gave a
staggering blow 10 the greatstock markets
OF tho world. from which they must re-
cover 10y degrees.
For several months money-centros
were pinchod from unknown causes, bat
il is now clear that the embarrassment OF
the BARISGs was at the bottom OF 1t oil.
The malady having been discovered
and vigorous remedy applied, it is rea-
sonsble 10 expect that reaction will soon
set in, and those who have boughtprme
securities at the low prices recently pre-
yailing will grow rich on their profits.
There were some failures IN New York
yesterday and several last week. Most
of those were Of spectators who were
crushed in the panic which for awhile
reigned on Change there, No doubt
other weak houses will seize this
opportunity to make assignments. 1t Is
a good time to fail, and ascribe the
trouble to the furry rather than to a
long-continued default in sound business
methods.
We are glad to hear from the New
York Herald that the alarm in the stock
market, has benefited real estate and that
"many new men have joined the pha-
lanx of investors.
There was an improved feeling both
in London and New York yesterday and
no further serious trouble is feared.
