InspectIon of Cattle.

WASHINGTON, November 2G.-The
work of inspecting cattle for export by
the Department of Agriculture is now
fairly under way.
The agents of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry have during the past few days
inspected G,967 head of cattle. The
ports AT which the inspection of these
cattle was made were Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport
News. the largest number being shipped
from Boston.
Since the establishment, August 23,
of system of inspection by American
official veterinarians of all cattle landed
in British ports from the United States,
the veterinary officers Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture report the inSpec-
tion, up to November s, of 100, 600 cat
tie, lacking Il few head. These iigures
denote an increase in shipments OF live
cattle from this country to sBritlsh
ports over the very large shipments OF
the last fiscal year.

Brought 10.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Novem-
ber 26.-Word was received through
the Government courier, last evening,
that 200 lodges of Rosebud Indians
were raiding the homes of settlers in
the vicinity of Porcupine creek.
The settlers themselves had flown in
terror a week ago, leaving all their
household goods, together with the
stock.
There are six persons usually in an
Indian lodge, and the marauders, there
fore, are supposed to lumber about
200 persons.
Gen. Wheaton and his command, con-
sisting OF four companies from Fort
Omaha, have arrived in camp, and Il
consultation with officers on the situa-
tion was at once held, the result OF
which cannot at present be ascertained.
The Indians here are in state OF
nervousness. Yesterday, when the SOL
dsers went out 10 drill, it was with the
utmost difficulty that a stampede was
prevented. Terrible stories as TO what
the soldiers intend to do with them are
in circulation among the Indians, and
they are constantly on the alert, keep
ing their ponies near at hand, ready TO
mount them at the first sign of an at
tack. They say they do not want the
soldiers to kill their, nor do they want
to give up their arms. but will DO so If
the soldiers insist upon il.

nearly as far from Rosebud.
The squaw men have been threatened
with death by the hostiles, and are run

In passing through Martins Ferry our
attention is called to the varied i'm

desirable and pretty dwelling houses are

where II is more fully built up, and where
the {. X i. passenger depot Is located,
several improvements are noticed. One
more prominent than all others, looms
up to confront the eye, which to a
stranger entering the city is certainly
most phenomenal rs adding TO the beau
ty and progress Of the city: and why
the city authorities will permit or Suf-
fer such an eyc-sore Immediately in the
heart of the city is more than any ordi-
nary person can conceive. What, for 4
moment, would the most humble citizen
OF Wheeling think when any OF the
many railroads entering its limits. pro-
ceeded to build an eight-fOot fence along
their tracks? Why it would raise
such howl that in their Indignation
would cause the railroad so much
trouble that they would have to take
their fence down. But in Martins Fer
ry the c. Il i. has not only built fence
to mar the progress Of the city, but they
have gone further in taking possession
Of the lands that have been in the en-
jOymcnt of our citizens along the route

CHARLIE ROSS AGAIN,
1t Is Claimed He is in Prison on False
Charge.

PHILADELPHIA, November 26.-lt is
more than probable that Charlie Ross,
the long lost kidnapped son of Christian
X. Ross, has at last been found. The
Detective Bureau at New York Police
Headquarters are fully convinced that
they have discovered the boy. Charles
4. Grant, Chief Clerk of the Police Com
missioners of New York, is the man
who has worked the clew down tC
point where Inspector Byrnes was
consulted and the latter's detectives
called in. Mr.. Grant has been follow
ing the case diligently but quietly fol
several months, and he now feels nc
hesitation in stating that he has located
Charley Ross in Boston, where it is said
Ross is in prison on false charge
One of Barnes men is in Boston to see
the alleged Charley Ross.
The story is that the boy was raised
on the quiet by burglar Bill Mosher':
widow. Mosher, it will be remembered
was one of the kidnapperS. Mrs
MoSher has been interviewed, and /:
represented as being greatly excited
she says the youth is her son. She cam
tell where or when he was born, and re

your telegram of yesterday withdraw

in aid OF foreign exhibitors because OF
the misinterpreted action OF the World 5
Columbian Commission on the report
that the Committee of Foreign Agairs
OF that body regarding plans for secur,
ing exhibits from the Spanish Ameri-
can Republics, beg to assure you that
neither the Committee nor the Commits
sion considered the movement in any
sense a political one. Some people can
discover politics in the Lords Prayer.
but if there are any OF this class in the
Commission they are, fortunately, neith-
er numerous nor influential. The re-
port OF the Committee was unanimously
accepted and referred to an appropriate
department.
