TROUBLE BREWING.
The Colonel Wanted by the Federal Au-
thorities.

WHEELING, w. VA, Nov. 14.-There
is prospect that the case of the for
ger Col. Isaiah j. Porter will lead to a
conflict of authority between state and
federal authorities. When Porter was
arrested here he was committed on a
state charge that he was not person
of good fame. Then federal official
came here from Washington, with a
warrant for him there, and went before
a United States commissioner. AS
result, Porter was taken from jail to
Custom House without the knowledge
or consent of state officers, and there
arraigned and committed, on federal
commitment, to await transportation
to Washington. The state authorities
refuse to recognize this, and will, to-
morrow, deliver the prisoner to the
sheriff Of Berkeley county, who, wired
that he would arrive, the prisoner being
wanted at Martinsburg on two charges.
AS heretofore stated the Colonelisshe
same man who attempted to defraud
Father McKeefry by means of 81 900
forged check, full account of which
was published in THE WORLD at the
time. There is no doubt but that he
can be held here and convicted on one
if not two different charges, forgery
and attempting to obtain money by
false pretences. THE WORLD exposed
the seoundrel and Governor Fleming
and other State officials are fully in
formed of him. The West Virginia
authorities propose dealing with The
Colonel" alias twenty-five or thirty
other names as he fully deserves. Off
Ger J. H. Weddell left for Wheeling
this afternoon and will bring the pris-
oner here tomorrow for hearing.

UNCLE SAM WANTS PORTER.
The Federal Authorities Still Want Him
in Washington.

The federal authorities have not as
yet given up the chase for Colonel
Porter and the chances are that they
will attempt to recover him from the
authorities here. Detective Wheeler
of Washington declined to pay the bill
of costs presented by the State officials
at Wheeling and for that reason did
not obtain custody of the prisoner.
SSfs Wheeler returned to Washington
and had a conference with the United
States authorities, and the outcome
of it was that Deputy u. S. Marshall
White went to Parkersburg to procure
from Judge jackson Of the United
States Court an order for the delivery
of Porter to the Federal government.

CATTLE LOST AT SEA.


GLASGOW, November T.-Vessels
arriving from America with cattle re-
port immense losses on the passage.
The General Gordon, which got into
Glasgow on Saturday, had on board
the carcasses Of f40 animals that had
been trampled to death during the
voyage. The inspecting officials for
babe arg ef the carcasses to be offered
for sale as food, and directed that they
all be boiled for rendering purposes.
Sixteen steamers that have recently
arrived at Dundee report total loss of
500 head of cattle out of 10000 that
were shipped Great Indignation was
aroused by these revelations, and steps
will probably be taken to regulate the
traffic still more in the interest of hui
manity.
