Sir Richard Cartwright Speaks Before
q Liberal Assemblage.
TORONTO, March l. 1.-Speaking at a
mass meeting of Liberals in East York
last night Sir Richard Cartwright said the
Government appeared to have adopted q
policy Of letter stealing, and then made
the following charge: 1.-The other
day l noticed letter which our
Secretary had addressed to gentleman
in Hastings, but which apparently never
reached that gentleman. The address
was plain, but the letter had gone to the
Dead Letter Office, and had been opened
there and sent, not to the Secretary, as
think the law requires, but to the Gov
ernment candidate for West Hastings,
who forthwith published it,"
Referring to Van Horne's manifesto. he
alluded to Van Horne as Dictator-in- Chief
to her Majesty's Government in Canada.
He condemned the manifesto as mis-
take. and added: Van Horne ought to
be extremely careful not, by ILL
advised and foolish language, to
force retaliation and animosity on
the part of the people of the United
States. It is known to every person well
informed that there exists in the United
States a very ugly feeling, and Van Horne
himself admits 1t, against our great rail-
way systems, and notably against
the Canadian Pacific. 1t is at
this moment that Van Horne
chooses to follow the lead of
the Premier, who went out of his way to
insult the American people This is a
thing which ought to have brought down
upon him the censure of his directors, if
he has directors, and is not an autocrat
of the railway, as he seems to be the au-
tocrat of the Government of Canada"

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The statisti-
clan Of the Interior Department has is

value of farm animals, railroad trans
portation rates and other interesting mat
ters. In California the number of cattle
has increased l per cent. during the year;
sheep decreased per cent, and horses,
mules, milch cows and hogs were sta.
tionery in number. OF horses, California
is fifteen in the list, with 360,92l, valued

sixteenth, with Il, $50, valued ut So, ,467, ,0a3:

of hogs it is twenty-fourth, possessing

twenty-second, with 55S, S,244, valued at
50, $50, ,32l.
With reference to horses in California,
the report says that great progress has
been made in the Improvement Of their
quality during the past few years.
Broncho horses of ten years Of age have,
by being bred to blooded stock, given
place to good roadSters and draft horses.
Greater speed has been given TO the COM
mon roadster, together with the durabil-
ity Of the broncho, and size and SYM
metry to the general draft horse While
the number of cattle is only about the
same as last year, there has been great
Improvement i'll the quality of common
stock by the introduction of better blood,
such as Holstein, Durham, Devon, Jersey
and Polled Angus. There are many
choice pure herds of the above breeds in
the State. Owing to the reclaiming of the
lands over which large herds OF sheep
roamed formerly, by vineyardists and
orchardists, there has been very little, if
any, progress in sheep husbandry.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-Concernine
the condition of the levees and the nm

OF the lower Mississippi by the continued
rising water, the following information
has been received:
y telegram from Captain Lambert, for
many years editor of the Natchez Demo
crdt, says: THE situation of river mat
ters along the lower Mississippi Just now
is quito critical. While the water in
sight does not appear to be sufficient to
cause the flood hight in past years, yet
the indications now are for rains through
considerable portion Of the valley, and
if they should occur it is probable that
the floods of last year would be eoualed
the present season.
The levees are not really in so good
condition as they We're at this time last
year, and there is constant fear of their
giving way under the pressure at many
points along the line"
X. f. Reynolds, commercial agent of
the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
Railroad, said the present condition OF
the Mississippi River and tributaries
threatens disastrous overflow from
Memphis TO New Orleans. The main
river, as well as the tributaries, are
higher than at this date last year.
THE RIVER RISING.
GREENvILLE (Miss.), March 1.-The
Mississippi at this point continues to rise,
and will, it is expected, within few
days, attain hight within two feet of it's
maximum of last year. This will create
tremendous strain on the levees, many of
which are new and untried.

which first gave him an opportunity. six

Already they had put the snafIie in the

In conclusion, Parnell expressed hope
that his opponents would take warming

themselves from the entanglements of

New YORK, March 1.-The police here

Rothschild, and who is said to have been
doing business with dry goods merchants

The prisoner, who is a man of about 35
years of age, has, it appears, little office
at S34 Broadway, and has drummer
travelling about the country offering to
sell cotton goods at a rate of 40 per cent
cheaper than the goods could be pur-
chased of other parties.
The drummer announced that he repre-
sented the firm of William Rothschild,
who owned big cotton mills in Maine.
The plan was to ask for the money before
the goods were delivered. Into the trap
many firms have fallen.
1t, however, remained for Cone & KIM

EARLY MORNING FIRE.

Cottage at Second and r. Streets
Burned to the Ground.
Shortly before . o'clock this morning
an alarm of fire was turned in from box
81, at Front and r streets.
For some minutes previous a bright
light had been noticed in that vicinity
from up town, but it was not until the
flames began to leap high into the air that
the alarm was turned in. The depart
lnent experienced much trouble in get
ting through the mud of the lower part
of town, but managed to get there and
get two streams upon the fire before it
had gained too much headway. The
building which was atire was the
old cottage at the railroad crossing at
Second and Il streets, which was until
recently. occupied by French woman
who kept a combination grocery and
saloon.
OF late the building has been a rem
devious for tramps, and it is believed
that the fire was started by some of
them, with a cigar or pipe. Several of
these persons were asleep in the place
when the alarm was turned in, but it is
believed that they all escaped.
The building was owned by Henry
Burnham, foreman at Friend Il Terry's
lumber yard, and as it was completely
destroyed, his loss will amount to several
hundred dollars.
