Reciprocity with a "COPPER",

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 29.-There was
considerable excitement today among the
Kansas City stock men, relating to ad-
vices received from Mexico to the effect
that that country had placed a duty of
$500 per car on American cattle. If the
adgioes are true. this practically ruins the
live stock trade between this country and
Mexico. The act of the Mexican govern
ment is regarded here as a retaliatory one.
precipitated by the lear the Mexicans
have of the Mckinley bill. 1t has been
umored among the s.ockmen in this
city for the past few days that the Mexi-
can government was contemplating a
move OF this kind, but there was thought
10 be nothing in it, until dispatches were
received from agents today apparently
confirming the reports.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.-The Pea
ylme San Antonio dispatch also gives a
rumor that tue Mexican government has
placed a tax of $500 a car on horses
and cattle from the United States and
says. in addition, that a tax Of 81. so per
head is placed on American hogs. As
there are not many hogs in Mexico the
result probably will be that the price will
be greatly raised TO the consumers.
WASHINGTON, Oct 20. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Spalding said
tonight that he had no information about
the reported heavy duty laid by Mexico
on American cattle and doubts the cor

PfrTsBURG, Ost. 29.-There will be
no federation Of locomotive engineers with
brakemen. iremen and conductors and
Otl.er railway employees. As stated last
week the majority report favoring fedora

y%ention, wes defeated. Since that the
convention has finally decided not to fed

matter has been left with zach Of the
torty-ive divisions to act as they may

necessary, join hands with other train

WASHINGTON, Oct. 90 -Msj. Gen. Miles
in his annual report on military affairs in
the division Of the Pacific while reporting
the lone and character of the service most
excellent, says any system is defective
which leaves with little advancement and
slight hope OF recognition the class of
citizens who devote themselves entirely
to military service. The artillery branch
should be increased by at least two regi.
ueuts, aud the same organization be
Gven infantry that exists 10 the best
armies of the world, namely.a three
battalion organization. sGen. Miles says
the various methods resorted TO TO
diminish desertion have not to any con.
siderable extent done so. lie believes,
however. we are approaching a solution of
the problem and that the measures re.
Gently adopted are a step in the right di-
rection.
The holding Of disconnected Indian
traders on the San Carlos reservation, and
especially along the ella river. which is
unsuited to them aud often unhealthy.
will always he a source of danger and dis
turba1ce. As several military posts and
reservations 10 the department of Arizona
have been abandoned he recommends that
bey be at once occupied by Indians or
converted into industrial schools and the
Mojave, Touto and Yuma Indians be re-
moved there at once from the sickly ella
valley The San Carlos Indians now
along the San Carlos river and White
mountains should be located on a suii-
Gent part OF the reservation and the re-
mainder thrown open to such use as can
be made OF it by citizens. The tribes
would be more easily controlled when sep.
arated. especially in such = region as they
arc now compelled to occupy.
The general dwells at considerable
length on the coast defense question, reit-
Grating his well known views on the sub.
ject. The recent practice mane vres of
the British navy demonstrated, he says,
the fact hat their powerful navy could
not defend even the limited coast OF that
island and it is useless TO suppose any
navy We can construct can defend our ex
tensiye sea coast. Land batteries are far
more economical than armored ships as
a means Of defense. The general recon-
mends that sites tor coast defenses be Sc
cured without delay. that a gun foundry
be established on the Pacific coast and
One-iourth OF the appropriation required
Tor coast defense be made every year for

THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHTS
CHANCES.

1t does not follow, because of the
"set back" international copyright re-
ceived in Congress three weeks ago, that
the proposition is dead Its friends are
not made of the timber that yields to a
single strain. They will never confess to
total defeat until it is established as
principle that it is no crime to thrust the
hand into the pocket of ones neighbor
and extract his purse without his consent.
There is no distinction, as DR.. Holmes has
so wittily put il, between stealing the pro-
duct of ones brain and stealing the work
of his hands. International copyright has
still two chances in the present Congress.
and it is to be hoped the Pacific coast
members will cast their influence with one
or the other. One of the opportunities is
to sustain the amended bill when the
Judiciary Committee bill, drawn by Mr..
Adams, comes up, and the other is TO
stand for the unamended bin when the
Simonds bill reported by the Patents Com
mittee is reached. 1t is now known that
several Congressman voted against the
original bill agreed upon by the authors
through misapprehension, and they are
now DESTROYS of setting themselves right.

THE new cruiser Philadelphia at the
East swept out to sea on her trial trip on
Wednesday at speed that surprised her
builders and delighted the Government
officers. She made at least twenty and a
half knots, thus exceeding the call for her
capacity. She will at once, and with the
utmost speed, be armed and put into COM
mission. Orders have been received to fit
out the San Francisco at Mare Island
with all possible haste and put her upon
trial at the earliest moment. A British
war-ship has arrived at San Diego and is
off post haste for the North Pacific waters.
What these two instances of activity have
to DO with the Behring Sea difficulty we
cannot say, but only conjecture In all
probability they are only precautionary
movements. Possibly they mean merely
station changes of the usual order, the CO.
incidence of their taking place at this par
ticular time giving an undue seeming of
Importance to the movements. At any
rate, it is seen that neither nation pro-
poses to lessen its naval force in northern
waters, but rather to strengthen the feet
and be prepared for any contingency that
may arise in connection with the seizure
of illicit seal fishers in Behring Sea.

THE NOMENCLATURE OF ROADS.

In another column is an article from
the Pacific Rural Press upon the naming
of country roads and the numbering of
subdivisions of land along them, so as to
show the distance from given point, and
thus enable one to be directed anywhere
upon country road as easily as upon a
city street We commend the article to
our readers; it will be found worthy their
attention and to be strong in its claims.
The system il proposes is clearly set forth
and is not complex.
1t is certainly desirable to reform the
nomenclature of country roads AS it is,
1t otfends ear and taste, and is without that
directory quality that it is supposed to
have, but which it seems to us is of least
Importance. Our country ways should be
as well, even better named than our street
ways, for they have natural typographical
and rural features, from which names can
be drawn that are at once pleasant to the
ear and expressive.
There is great deal more in the inhu-
ence of nomenclature of public ways,
buildings, parks, and landscape features
than will at first glance appear. The
names In city, constantly used by its peo-
pie, must have some part in forming their
tastes and must act directly upon their
modes of expression. We cannot conceive
of pleasant ways and paths and inviting
drives over 'The Squat Ham Road" nor of
noble highway leading from town that
gives it the ignoble title of "Pin-Hook
Lane"
The article to which we call attention
recites the movement that is on foot in
Contra Costa county, and that is meeting
with success, to reform the names of the
roads in that section. 1t is followed by
an explanation of the 'Ten Block" system
Of indicating localities along the roads,
and of expressing the mileage between
points and for whole distances. The plan
appears to be simple, and its adoption il
all the more thickly settled regions is GER
tainly feasible.

cerDs not the domination of his church,
the incubation of religious beliefs and the
fostering of church dogmas, the engage
ment of the clergyman in politics should
not be looked upon with suspicion; yet ii
remains that it is so viewed by the many.
The many unfortunately, are not dis

woridly-wise men that perfectly Just, be-
nevolent and altogether desirable reform
in government may be swamped, and IRE
trievably lost, if it is actively espoused by
clergymen. That this is an injustice may
be freely admitted, for the clergyman who
is sincerely laboring for the mora better
ment of men, must be, from his position in
the pulpit, a critic Of more practically
than the world is disposed to give hin
credit for. 1t is Impossible, if he is c

We suspect that the real cause for tn,
