Opposition to Canadian Cattle Trade.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 1.-THE Canadian
government has made overtures to the
imperial authorities to learn whether the
present arrangements under operation of
which cattle are exported from Canada to
Great Britain will be continued if Ameri-
can cattle are allowed to be slaughtered in
bond within the Dominion. This Is in
reference to the proposed Benderhead
Meat Company's abattoirs at Three Rivers,
to which Canadian shippers are opposed,
on the ground that it would place their
trade in danger Of being scheduled with
that of Americans in British ports, thus
depriving them of the present discrimina-
ton in favor of the Canadian trade.

OUR TRADE WITH JAMAICA.
Americas Absence From Kingston Fai
Causes Soreueas-McKinlAv Tariff


Americas Absence From Kingston Fair
Causes Soreness-McKinley Tariff.
HALIFAX, N. S., May 1l.--Adam s.
Brown, Canadian Commissioners to the
Jamaica exhibition, returned from Kings
ton, Jamaica, and reports the exhibition a
great success in everything but its finances.
Brown says the people of Jamaica feel very
sore over the neglect of the United States,
with which the largest part of her trade is
done, to take part in the exhibition.
Strong efforts are being made to induce
the government to send commissioners to
Washington City to see if Blaine can be
induced to allow the existing relations be-
tween the two countries to continue. The
people want to hold on to their enormous
trade with the United States, but do not
want to come under the reciprocity pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill, for the reason
that to abolish or materially lower its
tariff on American breadstuffs and manu-
factures will cripple its revenue, as well as
discriminate against England and her
colonies.

LONDON, May 1.-The Chronscls's st.
Petersburg correspondent says: The Rus
sian government replying to the Roths-
childs, stated that the cxar's Jewish policy
has nothing whatever to do with the
ministry of finance, and the Rothschilds
have no right to interfere with Russia's
internal policy. II is believed here that
the action will make the position Of the
Jews worse and viii be detrimental to the
Rothschild's interest in tho petrole urn
industry Of the Caucasus. The czar has or
dered the Jewish banker Ginsburg to quit
st. Petersburg for making an open attempt
to influence the minister of the interior to
ameliorate the conditions Of the Jews by
offering 1,000, 900 roubles to charities.

plosion, and the outside plates were
blown of. The outside work of the
steamer caught fire, but the fire was soon
extinguished. Over hundred men and
boys were employed in and around the
vessel when the explosion occurred. Large
pieces of timber and iron from the steamer
were blown with terrific force through the
air and some hurled against workshops
situated fifty yards away. causing damage
to them. A number of workmen en-
ployed in the shops were struck by the
flying of pieces of debris, and some of

Cruelty to Animals.

1t is worthy of occasional notice that
Kansas has strict laws against cruelty
to animals. The frequent instances
of bad treatment of our dumb friends
should have more strict punishment
than is usually given. Section $50 Of
the Grimes Act" reads as follows:
"Wh9ever overdrives, overloads, drives
when overloaded, overworEs, tortures,
torments, deprives Of necessary sus-
tenance, cruelty beats, mutilates or
kills an animal or causes or procures
an animal to be so overdriven, over
loaded, driven when overloaded, over
worked, tormented, tortured, deprived
of necessary sustenance, cruelty beaten
mutilated OF killed and whoever having
the charge or custody of an animal
either as owner or otherwise, inficts
unnecessary cruelty upon it or unnec-
cessasily fails to provide it with proper
food, drink, shelter or protection from
the weather shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in all not exceeding one
year or by fine not exceeding S250.0C
or by both such fine and Imprisonment.

Choosing a Pastor.

The congregational meeting of the
Presbyterian church held last evening
was largely attended. The vote on a
permanent pastor was unanimous for
Rev. F. S. Blayney, Phi, D., who has
been supplying the pulpit for some
weeks. Mr.. Blaney will hence be soon
formally installed as pastor of the
church. The meeting was presided
over by Rev. Fleming of Emporia
who acted as moderator. The Presby-
terians will have a pastor of whom
they can be proud. Mr.. BIayney during
his residence here has made many
friends and has won commentator for
his able preaching. He will be valu-
able addition to Abilene's ministry.
