THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
General Rejoicing and Universal Satisfaction
Over the Turn Affairs Have Taken.
At Buenos Ayres.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Sept. 1S.-Advices
regime gives universal satisfaction, and
that all parties are enjoying over tn
turn which affairs have taken. A prom
| inent feature of the rejoicings at Bueno
Ayres over the change in the presidency
was monster demonstration in honor of
Leandre NJ. Allen. president of the rev.
| dictionary government a man who is
| very popular and who has the reputation
for the strictest integrity. Sixty thou
| sand people are said to have taken part
| in the demonstration. 1t is not
thought, however, that he will be
candidate of his party for the presi-
dency, neither will DR.. Aristobule
Del Vale, another of the revolutionary
leaders. DR.. Aristobule is a talented
journalist, and before the revolution rep
resented the province of Buenos Ayres in
the Argentine states. On the collapse of
the revolution he retired. It is now
thought that the candidate of this party
will be Gen. Bartelonse Mitre,
who Is at present in Europe.
Gen. Mitre has already once been presi-
dent of the repu blio. For awhile during
the Paraguayan war he commanded the
allied armies, but won no great military
reputation. Some years after the close
of that war he was deprived of his post
IN the army and of his political rights
for having unsuccessfully attempted a
revolution. He was afterwards restored
TO his rights and to his military rank, but
not to active duty in the army. He is
noted as very warm friend to Brazil.
President Diellgrine has repealed the
decree establishing martial law and the
censorship of the press. It is said that
officers of the army and navy excluded
from their positions for having taken
part in the revolution will be re-
stored to rank duties. There is little
doubt that victory over the revolutionary
party in Buenos Ayres was due principal
ly to the frmness of the police, which
number 5000 men, and has military or
ganization. Had the force wavered it is
probable the whole army would have
joined the revolutionists.
Yesterday III Buenos Ayres there was a
demonstration attended by 20 900 per-
sons in honor of Senator Dardo Rocha,
whose friends presented him as a candi-
date for the presidency.
In the senate Derdo Rocha and Aristo-
bule Del Vale were leaders of the oppo-
sition to President Cellman. The presl-
dent and all its ministers pledge them
selves not to be candidates for the presi-
dency at the next election.

claims he can put fat on the cattle as
cheap as the Kansas farmer could with
| corn at eight cents a bushel. What
Kansas needs to-day is diversity of in
dustries; factories to use up the surplus
| grains, and in years like the present one
farmers and feeders could secure the
Stops. AS it is at present the grain is
shipped TO other states and there manu-
factured, and foreign feeders reap the
benefits of the products of Kansas soil.
"A great many cattle will be fed this
year in Northern and Western Nebraska,
as well as in Central Missouri, where the
corn crop is good.
'I look for corn to fall about twenty
cents bushel this fall, for as soon as
the spectators, who have the great bulk
of the corn crop in hand, find that stock
men are not going to make a great de-
mand for their grain they will throw it
on the market and there will probably be
large amount of late feeding.
''Never before was Kansas so ell pro-
vided with young stock as to-day, and if
the farmers OF Kansas will only hold
their cattle they will find 1t better
speculation than selling them. There is
plenty of roughness to put the cattle
through the winter all right, and after
the surplus caused by the output of the
cattle from the Territory, and the scared
cattlemen are out of the way, look for
the cattle market to take a boom. l
have 1000 head on hand now and they
are not for sale.
''There has been no Texas fever in the
locality where l have been, and have
come TO look upon it like the milk sick
ness in Indiana, always found in the
next county 1t is astonishing the num-
Der of stock hogs there are in the country
to-day, and my greatest fear is that they
will all be gone before another general
corn crop is obtained.
~ think this will prove a great har-
vest for tbs packers, as they are now
filling their houses with meat at less
price than they will be able to do for
the next twelve months, at least. L
look for meats to follow everything else
and take an upward tendency. This
appears to be a grand time for the bulls
on all kinds of produce. OF course an
advanced price of meats will raise the
price of stock to sell, but when the Big
Four control the cheap feed as well as
the market, there is no very bright out
look for feed ers this fall

FEEDING CATTLE.
Kansas stockman Speaks of the Outlook
in that State.

Il Kansas Stockman Speaks of the Outlook
in that State.
Col. John Funk, one of the leading
stockmen of Kansas was interviewed. by
the Wichita Drovers News recently on
the outlook for cattle feeding in Kansas
this year, and the interview is giveE in
full here. Col. Funk said:
''In many portions of the state there is
good half-crop of corn, ana with the
old crop on hand, some cattle will be fed,
but at the present high price of corn it
viii be a risky business. Feeders will
have one advantage by securing their
feeding cattle at reduced price, but with
the great producing factories of the
country running at full blast, it will
make the market uncertain for fat cattle
fed on So cent corn. The immense
brewery, glucose and cotton seed oil
factory feeders will hold big edge over
The average feeder, and they will have
1t in their power to supply the market
With fat cattle and thus keep the market
down. They can produce fat on their
stock at ratio of corn worth 10 cents a
bushel. Kansas has driven all this re-
source for feeders of malt from her
borders, and the present price will force
the grain from the feeders reach.
"Nelse Morris has secured all the
slops of the Peoria, ILL.,, breweries,
starch and glucose factories. and now

Probably there is no man better or
more favorably known to Taxas;oattle
men than Col. L. D. Voak, who for SO
long was the state agent in Texas for the
Street stable car company. The sever
ing of his connection with that COMPANY
and his temporary withdrawal from
immediate association with the stockmen
of the state is regretted by all who knew
him. He was an elegant, polished gen.
tleman, a fair man for stockmen to do
business with, and to his credit it can
be said he always gave satisfaction when
such thing was possible. He leaves the
city tonight for the North, but promises
the many friends he has made IN Texas
that his absense will be only temporary
that he will come again. The GAZETTE

R0UND-UPS.
Cattle IIen of Texas Have Permitted the
Big Four to Nislead Them.
Prospects for Feeding In Kansas This Year.
Shipments by the Different Railroads.
Texas Cattle Notes.

The daily GAZETTE SAYS the Big Four are get
tng themselves in shape to dictate prices.
Since when have they NOT been in that kind of
?-IStockman and Farmer.
They have always been in position to
DO it, but it is their pleasure once in q
great while to step aside and let supply
ana demand have say. Immediately
after the agitation of the Fort Worth
cattle convention and reirigerators in
Texas begun the Big Four, fearing they
had goaded Texas cattlemen up to the
point of trying to help themselves, let up
en- their practices, and cattle began to
improve in price. The refrigerator
scheme, however, seems to have fallen
thrOugh-that is, the one Endorsed by
the couvention-snd the Big Four looms
up again and are placing their pins SO
that they can, as they have done, die
tate the prices thaG cattlemen shall re-
ceive for their cattle. 1t is the case
that man or set of men can do
thing whenever they wish to,
but sometimes 1t is against
their policy TO do it. 1t is this wey with
The Big Four. If they had gone on and
by their manipulations caused cattle
prices TO continue TO decline, on the heels
OF the Fort Worth convention, the stock
men would have been more determined
than ever TO start up the refrigerators
IN Texas, and the Big Four knew this;
therefore they did that which lulled to
sleep the movement that had been started
by letting the matter OF supply and de-
mand regulate matters for while, lust
as THE GAZETTE twelve months ago pre-
dicted they would. The result is just
what was expected or rather what THE
GAZETTE warned the stOckmen against.
Don I let any light advance IN cattle
prices LEAD you into the belief that there
Is no necessity for the establishment of
retrigerators in Texas was substan-
tally the advice given the cattlemen
months ago, but ii appears that the ad-
vice was not needed. The advance in
cattle prices comes, the cattlemen were
in good humor and they let drop an en-
terprise that would have insured good
prices and n market in Texas for Texas
cattle for years TO come.
Yes the big four are still in condition,
position and power to dictate in degree
the price of cattle, but they will not be
So powerful in future as they have been
In the past. The supply of cattle is
shorter than it has been and this fact
will have some bearing on the markets as
long as il is a fact.

Thus spake Edward Brink of Spring

81 could hardly realize that had won

the money through Wells, Fargo & Co. IS

the banks.
"Why did l invest in the Mexican Lot
tery? Because there were 20 per cent.
more chances in that one than in any
other. They believe in giving the inves-
tor q show.
Continuing, he said At the present
time am least $50 ahead on it besides
the SIS, 900 have just won. l received
the money promptly, and find the Next

''In answer to a further question by
our reporter, Mr.. Brink said:-I am not
superstitious but sometimes when | have
had spare dollar in my pocket, 1 would
take 1t out and toss it in the air. Heads

down heads the dollar went for Mexican

Mr. Bunk is nice-looking young man
OF tweuty-eight years, and pleasant
gentleman to meet. He has good edu-
cation and a shrewd business head, and
doubtless his Sl5 200 will soon increase
on his hands. He takes his good luck
quietly, and stranger would not think,
from his appearance or action, that he
had been fortunate enough to win Sl5,-
600 by merely tossing up silver dollar.

Boys Fired Their Pistols,

TERRELL, Ten, Sept. 11.-Parties

The Chicago and Alton Crawling Up in the

That the Chicago and Alton road is
growing in popularity with the cattle
shippers is evidenced by the volume of
business it does. One thing that has led
to this growing popularity is the most
excellent facilities the road has for ship
ping stock, and another is the very
handsome manner in which the shippers
are treated.

Cattle Movements.
Col. j. A. Wilson, general agent OF
the Chicago and Alton road, returned
yesterday from a trip up the Denver
road and over the Wichita Valley line.
He stated to GAZETTE reporter that
the condition of cattle where he went
was as good as the stockmen could ask.
Grass was growing beautifully on all the
ranges, water was plenty and cattle were
taking on flesh rapidly. AS to the move
ment of cattle, he said it was not 30
heavy as it was short time back, the
stocking up in Texas being due in great
measure to the improved condition of
the ranges. Cattlemen who were dis
posed to ship two weeks ago on account
Of the dry condition of the pastures are
now holding back in order to give the
beeves the benefit of good fresh grass.
