TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 20-There is
much speculation as to the meaning of
the return to Canada at the present time
of Sir Charles Tupper Canadian high
commissioner to England, The Ottawa
correspondent of The Empire, the gov
ernment organ here, says it is under
stood that the object of his visit Is to
consult with the Dominion government
in reference to the export live cattle
trade and the Primsoll agitation.
The Ottawa correspondent of The
Mail says he understands that Sir
Charles will be the bearer of the opin-
ions of Lord Salisbury on many ques-
tions which are interesting alike to
Great Britain, Canada and the United
States, and that he viii probably take
an active part in any negotiation that
may take place at Washington on reci-
procity and kindred subjects,
1t is the general opinion, however,
that Sir Charles has been called home to
assist the government at the coming
general elections.
A cable dispatch from London says
the suddenness of Sir Charles departure
has aroused much conjecture there, and
adds that all that Sir Charles viii say is:
81 am going to Ottawa at the request of
the Dominion government to discuss
several important questions.

BEEF FOR INDIANS.
It's Manner of Purchase Explained by
Mr. Morg neutrality-suspicious..

NAA' NAoE x aht appropriations -
WASHINGTON, Jan, 30 The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has prepared a
report to the secretary of the interior in
relation to the manner of purchasing
the beef ON the hoof for the Indian
service. He also makes a detailed
statement of the efforts which have
been made from time to time to do
away with the practice of contracting
for large deliveries in the fall, All
these efforts have failed, the commits
sioner says owing to the insufficient ap-
preparations made by congress.
The report shows that in 1884 there
was paid for $50, 900 pounds of beef for
the Pine Ridge Indians deliveries in the
fall, $22G, $50, whereas if the lowest bid
for monthly deliveries had been accept
ed the cost would have been $4O6, $50. 1t
is also shown that beef for Pine Ridge
cost this year %109, 600 for free delivery,
If the lowest bid for monthly deliveries
had been accepted the cost would have
been $l99, 2O0, or nearly 100 per cent.
more. This difference holds good in
nearly all cases where monthly deliveries
were not accepted. In several cases the
difference, while considerable, was not
deemed excessive, and monthly deliveries
were accepted.
In all cases where beef was purchased
for the consumption of the northern
tribes there was a stipulation in the con-
tract that the cattle must have been at
least twelve months in succession, prior
to July t. 1890, north of the south line
of Kansas, and the certificates of the
army officers detailed to inspect the beef
show that the cattle were fully up to the
requirements of the contract. The
statement that unacclimated cattle are
delivered, he says, is therefore untrue.

accident; that none of them escaped

suspicion Of gas in Mammoth mine, and
at this plant, as well as at all others
owned by the Frick company, no ex-
pense has been spared to make their
mines as safe as experience and science
canmake them.
