The CATTLEmEN.
Their convention AdjouTns After
A Successful Session.


FORT WORTH, Texas, March 13 "A
today's sess on of the Interstate Cattle
mems Convention, the com mittee on sta
tistics reported on the matter OF estab
fishing bureaus for information ant
statistics in each of the livestock produc
ing and livestock breeding States aDe
Territories, to the effect that it was very
essential to have q CORRECT record of th.
available supply and probable demand o
live stock, in order to form an intelligeu
opinion as to the value of the same. The
committee were doubtful whether united
action could be had, and it was therefore
recommended that the convention mem
orialize Congress to appropriate sufi-
clent money to introduce this improve.
ment in conducting the live stock bust
ness OF the country, under the auspices
OF the Department of Agriculture.
| Adopted.
A report was adopted asking the ne xt
Legislature to appoint a veterinary
whose duty it would be to suppress all
diseases in cattle, especially that known
as "Texas fever"
A long discussion evoked on report
recommending the Department of Agri-
culture to locate fence line, but the
report was finally adopted.
The report of the committee on resolu
tions was next received. The pream BILE
recltes the deDressed condition of the
livestock industry OF the country, the
causes of which, it claims, re not due to
over production, but rather to- manipula-
tion and combination to control the mar
ket, and for the purpose of relieving the
industry the resolutions request Congress
to pass a law declaring the combinations
now existing, or which may hereafter be
formed, unlawful and punishable by
such fines and penalties as will make the
law effective. The resolutions favor
national inspection and call upon the
Governors of the States and Territories
Interested to lay the matter before their
respective Legislatures and request
that they enact laws to insure
2 more healthy condition of this
important industry. The resolutions
further aver that it is the sense of the
convention that weighing live stock in
cars, after the manner practiced by
various railways, is detrimental to the
livestock interests, and favor a system
of carload shipments without weights,
recommending shippers to give their
business to such railways 40 shall
comply with the wishes expressed.
A reasonable reduction of the oleomar-
garine tax is favored; also the free and
unlimited coinage CT silver, and recipro-
cal treaty relations with Mexico. Deep
water upon the Gulf coast Of Texas is
pronounced absolutely essential to the
live stock interests of Texas and the
great Northwest.
After the adoption of the resolutions,
the convention adjourned sine die.

some IhlngS OF Interest to Raleigh in
Connection With Them.-Why New
Railroad Don't Come--And Why the
New Depot Won't Be a SIOO, 200
Structure.
The CHRONICLE does not believe in
meddling with the affairs of combines
or corporations as rule, but when it
sees that such combines are working
against Raleigh's interests, and especial
ly when such combines are largely sup
ported by Raleigh, it believes in telling
all it knows.
Reference has already been made
to the report that the Albemarle and
Raleigh railroad cannot extend its line
to Raleigh Oh account of an agreement
with the SeabOard Airline Be it un-
derstood now, that the CHRONICLE gives
this is a report-not as a fact-but so
| far there has been no denial of the re-
port.
| From some such circumstance as this
has grown fact which, it appears, is
about to deprive Raleigh of 500, 900
union depot and give her one costing
| S5O, OOO to SI5, 900 instead.
Soon after the Raleigh and CASTOR
and the North Carolina roads decided to
build union depot here, the Atlantic
Coast Line came in and asked to be per-
mitted to join in the building of the
depot, paying its proper share and max
ing the building larger and handsomer
and more commodious. The North Car
olina road, through its board of direc-
tors, favored permitting the Atlantic
Coast Line to join in. The Raleigh and
CASTOR imposed some conditions. 1t
said, through its representative, to the
Atlantic Coast Line. "If you will per-
NIT us 40 go into your depot at Rich
mond, we will permit you to come in
here" The A. @. l. declined the prop
osition on the ground that its Richmond
depot was an old establishment designed
and suited only for the purposes to
which it was now put; and claimed
that it could consistently apply
to come into the Raleigh depot when the
applicationwas accompanied with prop
osition to pay its proper quota for the
construction of new building which
could be modelled to suit all the purpo
ses for which it might be needed.
This seems 20 be a stopping place a
present. 1t is pretty certain that tn,

Coast Line coming into Raleigh.
