HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAINED

TIMING Biz STEAMSHIPS.

How the Record Is Kept i'm the
Great Races Across the Ocean.
PittSburg Dispatch.
The British Government has a
man stationed at Roche's Point, who
is paid to record In book the exact
time these steamers pass his signal
station, both inward and outward
bound. Since the acute rivalry be-
tween the feet ships of the White
Star and Inman lines has sprung up
this man has been even more than
ordinarily careful in carrying out his
instructions. In passing Roche's
Point.the vessels go through q chan.
mel hardly tLree miles wide, and as Q
general thing they pass within an
easy mile of the Government Signal
Station.
Since the fast ships began to reck-
on their speed so carefully, this sign
al officer has timed them from the
moment they were exactly abeam of
his station. The outward bound YES
sells usually 60 past him at full speed.
What becomes of them after this is
of no concern to the signal man. He
Immediately telegraphs his record to
the steamship agents in Queenstown,
whence it Is forwarded to the main
office at Liverpool. Both the Inman
and the White Star lines have .
man of their own on Roche's Point to
make observations and figures.
Sometimes they differ, But II by any
possible chance the question of a ves-
sells actual time came up In British
court of law, the Government signal
mans figures would stand.
In similar way tho official time
on the other side is taken the mo-
ment the vessel Is abeam of Sandy
Hook. The line Is set by the compass,
and the telescope does the rest. The
moment of crossing is almost as
clearly defined as in the case of the
running horse on the track. Passen-
gers on the Transatlantic steamers
date the time of their passage either
from Lands End or from the time
the vessel starts until she comes to
anchor. The steamship companies do
not take this into account at all in
their official records. They know the
time, of course, that q vessel leaves
Liverpool, and of her arrival at
Queenstown. But this is not consider
ed in the record of her passage. The
subsidized mail boats-the White
Star and Cunard-usually anchor at
Queenstown, q mile or two further
inside Roche's Point, than 60 the
Tnman boats and other Atlantic
liners which are not obliged to a.
wait the arrival of the Irish mail at
Queenstown, except for stray pass
enger or two. The mail boats are
usually the last to get away from
the harbor.

LIVE STOCK MARX EFT.
UNION STOCK YARDS CHICAGO, |
Sept. 8, 1891. I

SPECIAL.
Buyers of Texas cattle would not
admit that they were disappointed at
this weeks receipts of range cattle,
but to statesmen who study the sit
uation and watch all the corners the
uneasy look was perceptible, and
buyers could not conceal it.
He received $4,000 Texas cattle here
this week; this is al almost average
weekly supply for September, but 1t
seems light when we remember that
very few of the estimates last week
placed the probable supply at less
than 5000 head.
We attach considerable Importance
to the arrival of Texans next week.
If they are liberal (say 25,000 we
shall believe in better prices at once
and lighter receipts of range cattle
than Chicago received last year.
While prices do not average much
If any higher than last weeks close,
vet there is much more activity in the
market, and cattle have been driven
to slaughter houses much more
promptly tnan usudl.
We obtained So 20 for string of
dressed beef Texas steers yesterday;
and day before got $40 for train
load of good, heavy, fieshy, strong
weight canning steers from Indian
Territory. We sold another train of
same cattle today at 500. Bulls and
stays have been scarce and in good
demand at Sl.65 to So.
Veal calves have declined some
from last weeks prices but still COM
mand good prices if fat and light
weight.
The sheep market has averaged
steady al the following prices: Texas
feeders, 8 to 1865; gross mutton 8 go to
t.; fed Texas, 1856 to 4.25; Texas ambs,
8 SIS to 4.35, according to fat and quail
ity.

A Washington dispatch says
The Democrats are agitating {
scheme to change the mode of elect
ing presidential electors in the
States whose legislatures are Dem.
ocratic, and thereby secure their
votes iii the national election. The
State legislatures have the consti-
tutional right to appoint presi-
dental electors or determine the
manner of their election. The
Ohio Legislature proposes to have
the presidential electors chosen by
the Congressional districts, which
would give the Democrats is out
81 electors. It is said that should
the elections bill pass in Ohio, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin,
where the Democrats control the
legislatures, the mode of appointing
electors would be changed SO as
to insure as many votes in the
electoral college as there are Dem
ocratic Congressman in those states.
This may be possible scheme, but
we are disposed to believe it alto
gether improbable.

Pursuant to previous notice, a,
noon on Monday, Jan. Goth, a large
number of the citizens of Grant
parish gathered in the court house
to take part in an anti-lottery
meeting.
The meeting was called to order
by II. G. Goodwyn, who stated its
object, and informed the audience
that it had been called at the in
stance of the anti-lottery leagues of
the parish, who thought it proper
and opportune that the citizens of
the parish at large give an express
sion of their sentiments on this
subject.
On motion DR.. ]. F. Kelly was
elected as chairman, and II. G.
Goodwin secretary, and the organ
ization was made permanent.
On motion of w. G. Roberts the
chair was authorized to appoint a
committee of five on resolutions.
The chairman named as said
committee w. G. Roberts, Nj. f..
Machen, E. q. Randolph, j. II.
Williams, w. l.. Richardson.
During the absence of the COM
mittee, In answer to a call, Mr.. B.
A. Fortson announced that he was
thoroughly opposed to the lottery
and in hearty sympathy with all
measures adopted for the defeat of
the proposition to extend its char
ter.
DR.. j. f. Kelly also responded
to the call for speech, but after a |
few words expressing his convic-
lion and purpose in opposing lot |
terry tactics, like the gentleman who |
preceded, asked to be excused |
from making any extended remarks |
On the subject.
In about fifteen minutes the COM
nittee on resolutions reported, and, |
sfter the reading of the resolutions |

The pine lands of Louisiana are
said to be especially adapted to the
raising of sugar cane. Our hill
friends should make a special note
OF this fact. Indeed, we feel sure
that practical experience in this
line has already learned them
volumes on the subject, and it need
not be at all surprising if in very
few years sugar cane will be a most
formidable rival to cotton in this
immediate locality.

CLINTON. La. Dec. q. 1890.
Question l. Is a party who has
discontinued farming and is now
engaged in teaching country
school, eligible to membership in
the farmers union?
Answer l. Under the old Con-
stitution he was, but under the last
amendment he is not. The eligi-
bility clause provides: "a country
school teacher who is afarmer."
Q. 2. Are the clerks of dry
goods, groceries, and hardware
stores eligible to membership.
A. 2. They are not unless such
stores are cooperative farmers
union stores. Clerks are supposed
20 be identified with the interests
of their employers, and if the latter
are mot for us" in the language of
scripture, they are against u.s.
G. 3. Are the editors of pro-
nounced partisan newspapers eligi-
bic to membership?
A. 3. They are not, nor are the
of such papers.
@. A. Are directors and officers
Of banks eligible to membership?
A. 4. On this point our organic
law is silent. The term banking
has dual significance. There are
banksof issue, banks of deposit"
md Saving" banks. A bank,
by incorporators for
nsurious purposes, is hostile to the
principles of our order and its Of
icers are debarred membership.
