Separated from the Church.

BALTIMORE, March ia Rio de
Janeiro correspondent writes that the
separation of church and state has taken
a practical form. Under the last imperial
government the old imperial church,
which did duty as cathedral for the
bishopric, was pretty much pulled to
pieces to prevent it's falling down of its
own weakness, and an engineer, with an
assistant and large staff of workmen,
were making the dust and the money fly
For some reason the wages of the work.
men fell in arrears and as under the
empire IL was customary to make COM
plants ia such cases to the press, the
poor innocents did the same on the
present occasion. They soon found out
that an empire with state church was
quite different from republic with free
idea of deity, for the minister of the i'll
terror promptly ordered their wages paid,
and quite as promptly ordered all work
stopped ON the cathedral. The governor
OF st. Paul, has declined to pay over the
funds voted for it to purchase repairs
which he has decided must now be at the
charge of the faithful. 1t is said the
cathedral here will be rebuilt at the ex.
pense of the church. All trat es of church
and state alliance it is pointed out have
not been obliterated. The new table Of
rations which is to be served to the
Brazilian navy on Fridays will comprise
fish instead of beef. Note is also CAREFUL,
made that in the recently published
electoral regulations constant reference i,

RANGE BEEF RAISERS.


FORT WORTH, Texas, March 1.-THE
inter state stock mems convention opens
here this afternoon. The city is full of
delegates and large number of visitors
are present from Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana, New Mexico, Kansas and
Nebraska. This gathering promises to
have all important bearing upon the range
cattle industry. Many topics of vital i'm
port are to come up for discussion and
action.
The first and probably greatest object OF
the convention is to devise means to Sc
cure better returns from live stock sales
than are now paid. For some time past
there has been sprightly contest inaug-
urated between the cattle men and the
live stock exchanges throughout the coun-
try. The latter strenuously object to sell
log stock of the growers on other than a
per capita basis, while the cattle men are
desrous of disposing of their herds at a
per cent consideration. This matter has
been going on for years, and they con-
template concluding it now or never.
1t is said there is big surprise in store
for the big Four" The cattle men have
long been absolutelyin the hands of these
dressed beef concerns, and at the con-
vention they will cut away from their
halter and begin a decisive war. The
battle will be waged on the level grounds
of honest competition. The range pro-
ducers' line of procedure is the establish
ment of dressed beef plants at all the ad-
vantageous points in the south and west,
and by increasing number OF others al
ready in full blast. The convention will
advise the opening OF concerns at Fort
Worth, which will cost $780, 900, at Gal
weston, New Orleans, San Antonio, Ell
Paso, Cheyenne, Miles City or Helena,
Mont, and increase the Denver con-
Germ.
1t is expected that 5000 delegates will
be on hand at the opening OF the second
days session tomorrow.

Compulsory Voting.

BosToN, March lin a special at the
Massachusetts Reform clubs dinner >atur-
day night Hon. David Dudley Field said on
the subject of honest government:
"The primaries for choice of candidates
are very unsatisfactory. In places where
a registry is held each voter when regis
tering should name his candidates. If
there is no registry he should be called
on to express his preference in writing,
the ones having plurality to be nomi-
mated"
He would make as many voters as pos
sible take part N the nomination, and
would make all vote. Compulsory voting

THEY BITE DUST.


WILCOX, A. T., March 1.-THE purau-
ing party OF United States troops and In,
dian scouts who followed the trail OF the
renegade Indians who murdered George
Herbert, Mormon freiehter, on SUNDAY
last, for over 800 miles Of the toughest
and most rugged country OF Arizona,
overlook them Saturday on Salt river,
about thirty miles north Of Globe, in an
almost impenetrabie locality, aud, as
could be expected, fight Immediately
commenced. After the first shots were
exchanged the Indians took TO the rocks
and continued the firing, evidently deter
mined to sell their lives dearly.
The fight was kept up until two of the
renegades "bit the DUST" and a third
was wounded, and the remaining two,
seeing their efforts were useless, surren
dered. The troops and scouts, although
exposed, miraculously escaped any casu-
allies.
The dead were buried where they fell,
and the three prisoners were taken to
Globe, where they arrived this afternoon
The two horses stolen from their victim
were the only ones the Indians had, and
were almost tagged to death on account
OF being so hard pushed by the troops.
They are now stabbed at Globe, and when
recovered will he turned over to the mur.
dered mans wife.
The prisoners will be escorted to San
Carlos and placed III close confinement,
and the soldiers will proceed to their
respective stations.
This ends the most successful chase of
Its kind for many years, and too much
credit can not be given Lieut.. James w
Watson, of the 18th cavalry, who led the
pursuit, he having seen less than ten
years of army service, but who, on ac-
count of his acknowledged ability as an
Indian trailer, was given command OF the
Indian scouts at San Carlos some years
ago. 70 Lieut.. 2. II. Clark, of the 10th
cavalry, second in command, and the en-
tire detachment, is due praise for their
determined and persistent efforts in the
exciting hardships which they endured,
being not a few. These officers modestly
accept the congratulations for themselves
and command from their brother officers.
The murder having been committed in
Graham county the civil authorities OF this
county will take charge OF the prisoners
and they will have justice given them by
Il jury at regular term of court. 1t is
safe to predict that the days of wild riot
and revolving crimes OF this particular lot
OF Apaches have passed away and in due
time they will meet by the hemp route
their forelathers in those happy hunting
grounds. 1t Is now q question as to
whether the Indians whom it was in
tended to move to Fort Union, and which
move would have been made in about a
week, will not be carried out. A consuIta-
ton is being held to determine the advisa-
billty OF the scheme. 1t is the prayer OF
the citizens of Arizona that this removal
be not deferred. Their friends may as
sumo hostile attitude on the reservation
and the end may not be vet.

decided by Judge Shackeford in the
United States court. a number of suits

The question raised was as to the right of

and, al out this time, there came along
a reputable citizen who declared that
