TOPEKA, Kan, April 26.-The Kansas
Livestock Sanitary Commission, which
has been in session here for the purpose
of framing more stringent rules and
regulations than have heretofore been
in force, has agreed upon an order un-
der which cattle from the Eastern States
must be held ninety days at Kansas
City at the expense of the owner, and
until they shall receive bill of health
signed by the State Veterinarian of
Kansas. This applies to all cattle
shipped into Kansas from that portion
of New York lying south of the north

FIGURES FURNISHED.
Statistics Concerning Imports. Exports and
Immigratton.

Immigration.
WASHINGTON, April 26.1The monthly
statement of the bureau OF statistics for
the month of March has been issued by
S. ]. Brock, the chief of the bureau. 1t
also gives the balances of exports and
imports for the periods of three, nine
and twelve months ending with March
81, and furnishes some interesting facts
and figures. Our foreign trade for the
month of March shows a balance in our
favor of SIS, 452, ,9s6, this being the excess
of our exports of merchandise over our
imports. The total export trade for
March was $72, ,607, 4S1, whereas the last
years March exports were 500, 100, ,694,
and the excess of exports over imports
was 81, 71s, 900. The result of the favor
able business of March shows a contin-
ued increase, and the margin in favor OF
the present fiscal year is further en-
larged.
The leading articles of export con-
sisted of 419,242 bales of cotton, worth
S21, 1876, 1857; 13,268, 292 bushels of corn,
worth S5, 341, AIS; 4,842,732 bushels of
wheat, worth So, 93s, $50; 1, 151, ,2S7 barrels
of flour, worth S., ,339, 1854; other bread
stuffs about 81, 1000, 600; cattle, hog and
dairy products to the amount of SIC, $685.
563. The balance of the exports is made
up of various other products manufact-
ured and unmanufactured. 1t will be
seen that about two-thirds of our ex-
ports for the month of March consist of
cotton corn, wheat and wheat -four, and
other breadstuffs and meat products.
Our exports for three months ending
with March 81 amounted to $21S, 296, ass
and exceeded our imports to the amount
of S24, ,661, Ills. The excess for the cor
responding period of last year was S.
623, ,S24, and the exports for nine months
ending with March 81 were 1888, us, $50,
and the imports were $571, ,s17, ,5S4, Civ
ing us an excess of exports of Sill, ,901,-
$3.50, while the exports for the corre-
spending nine months Of last year were
S5S2, ,1S0, 1868 and the imports were $780,
S22, O6O, showing an excess of exports of
only S33, ,54S, ,3O3.
This shows most favorable result in
a gain of tbs excess of exports over i'm
ports dur = The last nine months over
the exces # the corresponding period
of last year of S7s, ,353, 063. These are
the results of the three-quarters of the
present fiscal year and indicate a very
healthy and most favorable condition of
trade when the balance is in our favor
of nearly $112, 200, 600.
During the month of March the immi-
grafton to this country has been 35, 750,
as compared with 80, ,S01 for the month
of March, 1889. During the nine months
the immigration has been 254, 403, as
compared with 255, 707 for the CORE
spending period of last year.

MAY STRIKES.
Present Movements But Precursors of
- the Great Struggle.
an Trades Massing I'm Chicago For the
Fight For Eight Hours.

CHICAGO. April 26.-The efforts of
the local labor leaders, it is stated, will
be devoted during the next week to an
endeavor to restrain the strike fever
which seems to have seized the work
ingmen of this city. Chicago was chosen
as the battle-ground on which the first
general engagement was to be fought,
and the carpenters were placed in the
advance line. 1t was intended that all
other trades should remain at work I'M
til the carpenters should have won. Trade
after trade has organized and
declared that it, too, must have the
eight-hour day. According to current
reports, the monster demonstration
which has been arranged for May 1 as
an expression of sentiment only may, it
is now feared, turn into the beginning
of strike which the leaders will be
powerless to direct, much less control.
Certainly many thousand strikers will
be added to the carpenters. The stock
yards and packing-house employees, the
stair-builders, mill carpenters, gas-ft-
ters, iron molders and harness-makers
have already announced their intention
of striking. Besides these, the tail
ors, shoemakers, plasterers, lath-
ers, cornice-makers, metal work
ers, and many other lines of labor seem
determined to join the ranks. 1t was
rumored among the men yesterday
morning that the building bosses would
anticipate the proposed strike by total
suspension of business tonight. By
this move the bosses would put the men
on the defensive to certain extent.
The idleness among the building trades
consequent on the carpenters strike,
is increasing. The president of the
Brick-layers' Union called at the strik-
ers' headquarters and said that less
than 800 of the 4, 500 brick-layers in the
city were at work. The same state of af-
fairs prevails in most of the building
trades. Late last night speedy settle
ment, in part, of the carpenters strike
seemed probable. At conference dur
ing the evening between the representa-
tives of the strikers and the bosses not
members of the Master Carpenters As
ISOLATION, a plan of action was agreed
upon. The new organization of nom
association employees was shown to be
able to provide work for 1000 journey
men, and formally conceded all demands,
including satisfactory minimum rate
of wages and a short work day. An
agreement was reached that committees
from the two organizations should call
on the old Masters Association and at
least place the latter body on record.
The understanding is that in any event
when the new bosses meet again to-
night the strike as to them will be de-
clared off whether the less numerous
but more wealthy old bosses surrender
or not. The idea is that the strike be-
ing then no longer general, the old
bosses will not be In position to en-
force 'strike clauses@ in contracts with
owners of buildings, and the work will
GO to the new bosses.

BISMARCK ON SOCIALISM.
1t May Yet Cause Trouble in Germany-No
Fear of May Day.


LONDON, April 26.-The Herald pub
fishes the report of an interview had by
one of its representatives with Prince
Bismarck. The ex-Chancellor said he
would not, if it were in his power, in
terfere with the workingmen in any
way on May day, nor would he dis
play any anxiety, which only increases
the aggressiveness of the agitators.
Socialism, he said, would yet cause
trouble in Germany, and the man who
would yield to that element to prevent
a manifestation was a coward. 1t was
sometimes an act of benevolence to shed
the blood of the riotous in defense of
the law-abiding. May day was not a
dangerous enemy, and the naming of it
for an assault ought not to be dreaded.
1t would only be sham fight like the
battles of the Salvation army.

A LATE CONVERT.
Democratic Love for Free Schools of Re-
cent Date.
From the Chicago Tribune

cent Date.
From the Chicago Tribune
| Congressman Mills says in his speech
at Racine:
The school house was created in the
state of Wisconsin when that territory
was ceded to the United States by Vlr-
ginia. Where does the Republican party
get this sudden affection for the school
house? Let it carry out the old Demo-
ordinance Of 1859. The free schoolhonse
was IN full operation long before the Re-
publican party was formed; it will be in
full operation long after the Republican
party is dead. 1t was part Of the funda-
mental government.
Wisconsin schoolhouses owe nothing
! to Virginia, state which was in favor
of the education of the "cIasses" but
not of the masses" and practiced it.
The first schoolhouses of Wisconsin
were built by men from the New En-
gland states; and the teachers who
| taught in them came from those sec
| tons, and not from the country south
of the Potomac The sixteenth section
of each township was reserved for edu-
cational purposes by the ordinance of
| 1877 but that clause was inserted at the
request of Massachusetts men accus-
toned to free schools for century, not
| of Virginians who had never known
them.
It is true that the confederation which
existed when the ordinance of 1877 was
adopted was older than the Republican
party, for the principles of that party
were not born till the constitution of
the United States was adopted, and
nation took the place of league Of
states.' When the constitution went
into force Republicanism came into
being, with Washington as its
great leader That the Democratic par
ty existed few years earlier, as exem-
| plified in the articles of confederation,
is quite likely. Doubtless it was then
and there that it became SO badly poi
soned with it's anti-national doctrines
which ripened into a bloody secession
! breath of life from that anti National
instrument, the free school existed long
| before it, as early as the first resolves OF
| the general court of Massachusetts in
| 1647 ordering the establishment of a
school in each town "to the end that
learning may not be buried in the
graves of our forefathers.
The conversion of the Democratic
party to the cause of free schools is of
late date 1t was against them in the
South before the war; it has sought
frequently to cripple them in the North.
So it is amazingly impudent for this
Texan to talk about the educational in
debtedness of Wisconsin and any other
state to Virginia. 1t has always been
the North that has sent the school
master and the schoolma 'am to the
South to diffuse the light and blessings
of education among the people.
1t is true that Virginia made cession
of her shadowy claim to the soil of Wis
consin as part of the territory north
west of the Ohio-a cession which, by
the way, it was practically forced to
make But whatever justice there may
have been in it's claim to ownership Of
Southern Indiana and Illinois, derived
from the occupation of Kaskaskia and
Vincennes by Gen. Clark, it's claim to
the territory which is called Wisconsin
now was worthless.

How to Sweep a Store.
From the Commercial ENQUIRER.

We don't use leaky old sprinkling
pet to sop the floor all over in puddles
when we sweep. No, sir We have
wet sawdust, and put row ofit across
one end of the store and sweep that
right along to the other end, just like a
regiment marching across a ten acre lot.
1t catches all the dirt and carries it
along. If it gets a little dry, / add
some more. Some folks scatter sawdust
that's no good, that the reason for us
ing sawdust is to avoid wetting the floor
all over and to have something that will
absorb the dust.

DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.
Fearful Fate of q Soldier at Fort McPher-
son=Eight Men TO Hold Him.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 17.-Private Frank
O'Neill, of Battery G, Fourth United
States Artillery, died yesterday of
hydrophobla, at Fort Mcpherson. A
few days ago he began to show signs of
madness, and was put in room in the
hospital known as the prison, with
iron windows, padded walls, and no
furniture save small iron stove. He
would throw himself violently against
the walls, but the padding kept him
from killing himself. He refused to eat
or drink, and yesterday afternoon it
required seven very strong men to hold
him down. At first he broke loose from
them and overturned the stove, setting
fire to the hospital. This was extin-
guished, and finally, by forcing him
down, putting a mattress on him, and
eight men piling themselves on this,
they succeeded in holding him. In this
position an opiate was injected into his
arm, and he was quoted. In this posi-
ton he died
