AMERICAN BEEF CATTLE.
A Scheme to Successfully Accom-
plish Their Introduction Into
Foreign Markets.
Large Herds OF Canadian Stock
Bought by Stockmen from
This Country.
Secretary Rusk Credited With Actively
Aiding the Enterprise British Mar
kets tho Objective Point.

CHICAGO, March 2l.-Sensationnlly large
purchases Of cattle in Canada during the
past week by American capitalists was
brought to light here to-day, the first com.
plete public knowledge of the results Of the
mastery International campaign that has
been quietly but effectively waged by Sec
retary of Agriculture Kusk. The object is
to afford relief to American cattle growers.
by opening up markets abroad and, accord
ing to the statement of one of the largest
dealers IN Chicago, success has already
been attained, while much greater widen
ing Of foreign outlet is close at hand. The
Canadian purchases. it appears, were SIM
ply IN the nature of preliminary
tactics to secure the unrestrict-
ed entry of American cattle into Great
Britain. Canadian cattle, though inferior
to the American product, are legally un-
fettered by British enactments. and the
Americans who have just bought some i'm
mense Canadian herds. propose to utilize
the Canadian animals to familiarize the
people of rural England, Scotland and
Wales with beef from this side of the At
lantic. This Canadian venture is certain
to result in loss to the Americans interest
ed; but they are confidently counting on
recouping themselves when, under tho
plans laid down by Secretary Rusk, Ameri-
can beeves are freely introduced and
slaughtered at will throughout Great Brit
ain. At present, American live stock can
only be landed or killed at three ports, and
that, too, under harrassing restrictions.
That Rusk's plan will accomplish its pur-
pose in Great Britain, the results already
reached through him in France, Germany
ana the Netherlands, leave no doubt, to
say nothing of the fact that the essential
features of the plan have now just been
formally embodied in the United States
| statutes federal meat inspection law.
Months ago, it is learned, Secretary Rusk
put to work on an experimental scale the
inspection provided in the bill. His agents
inspected certain shipments of land-certi-
fed animals. Against this certificate the
authorities at Paris, Antwerp and Hamburg
have been unable to maintain the time
honored pretense that tho cattle, being
American, were, as q matter of course, dis.
eased. Beginning Dec. 20, six different
shipments have been landed up to date at
Hamburg, aggregating 1907 head. Ship
ments to Paris, thirteen in number, COM
menced arriving Aug. l, and now have
reached total of 681 head. At Antwerp,
shipments began still further back, May 5.
| That port also has received ten consign-
| ments, altogether 3,622 head. Great Britain
is now the market stronghold toward the
| capture of which is being spent all the sur
plus energy of American cattlegrowers, led
by Secretary Rusk.

The Crop bulletin.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The weekly
weather crop bulletin issued by the signal
service says: The cold weather continued
during the week generally throughout
northern states, over which the ground is
generally frozen and spring work delayed.
In the northwest the groand is generally
covered with snow, which is disappearing
rapidly, and which will furnish sufficient
moisture in the spring wheat region to as-
sure an excellent start for crops. The
weather was favorable throughout the fail
wheat region, over which the conditions
are reported as favorable and prospects OK
cellent. In New England the weather was
unfavorable for sugar making, but favor
able for fruit, latter conditions extending
over the fruit regions OF the Middle Attain

The three men when they found they could
not succeed in cutting the hawser drew their
knives and made their way to the quarter deck,
where Capt. Williams stood.
The captain drew his revolver and threatened
to blow out the brains of the first man that put
his foot on the quarter deck. At the. point OF
the Captain revolver the men were then irolied.

Manly applications have been received from

July 1.
Capt Rosscil today called tine Commissioners'
attention TO this matter, and said that he is
doubtful whether the Commissioner intend to
mike Contracts for this year or not.
The winter and sewer departments. he
says strongly object to those sidewalks
a. greatly increasing the expense in
those departments. From his standpoint in
charge of sur7nce work he is heartily in favor
OF the best sidewalks that can be Obtained, and
sees no necessity Of making a poorer class of
sfdewslks on account of the Complaints OF the
sub-suffnce departments
he thinks.- however. that the Commissione,.s
should carefully weigh both sides as to the
points to be attained. lot what is best for
any department, but what is best for
the District as whole. Again he
says that during the past year he repeatedly
heard Commissioner Douglass say that il wac a
mistake to make contracts for these pavements.

nissaoners will take and therefore requests
