WASHINGTON. April 19.-An earnest effort
is making on the part of cattlemen from
the far west to have the Texas fever cattle
quarantine line established by the agri-
cultural department for the great cattle
raising states of Wyoming, Montana and
Colorado moved further south and made to
conform with the quarantine line fixed up
on by those states for their own protection
befo.e the national government quarantine
line was established. Senator Carey, OF
Wyoming. presented the matter fully to
the agricultural department., and it is prob
able it will be fixed as desired. The de-
partmellt has communicated with Secretary
Rusk on the subject, and the secretary
thinks the department can so far modify
it's instructions as to permit cattle to be
shipped into the states of Colorado. Wy
omlng and Montana from as far south as
heretofore, provided these states give sat-
isfactory assurance that no cattle shipped
into them shall be sent out of
the states befo. the first of December,
The effect of the order of the agricultural
department in moving further north the
quarantine line established by the states
was to work a serious hardship on large
numbers of men having cattle between the
line decided Oh by tho national government t
and that which the experience of the states
named had found to be safe.

SCoTTDALE, Pa. April 19.-This was an
other busy day in the coke region. Numer-
ors mass meetings were held and proceed
ing the wholesale evictions which are to
take place tomorrow, they are taken with
significance. With brass band to stir up
their spirits, a meeting of several hundred
strikers was held this afternoon at the
Summit plant, where the imported foreign.
ers have been at work. Every effort was
put forth to get the alliance to attend but
without avaM. Tonight there is great ac-
tivity along the line. The coke companies
will make persistent efforts so resume at
more of their plants tomorrow. and
the labor leaders are out to Il man in the
hope of defeating the movement. When
the eviction movement is inaugurated to-
morrow it is expected that the same dis
tressing scenes of 1881 and 1886 will be re-
enacted. That many families will resist
seems to be the general impression. 1t was
learned to-day that colored workmen would
be shipped into the region during the COM
ing week to take the strikers places. The
imported Italians and negroes will likely
bear weapons furnished by the different
companies who are trying to break the
strike, and carloads of them are expected

PAnls, April l9.-The report on tho PAN
anna canal has been sent to the liquidator
OF the company, Monchicourt, by Lieut..
Wyse, who has been negotiating with the
Colombian government to prolong the con-
cession. The report was apparently pre-
pared with the object of concealing amid
an enaless maze of words and reiterated ex-
pregslons about sanguins prospect, the
actual hopelessnesa Of any further enter
prise in that direction. After detailing the
negotiations, Lieut.. Wyse concluded, "Ifmy
success with Columbia Is not to remain
barren, the hour has come for us to take
immediate and energetic action to save the
capital invested in the work and to save
from destruction the vastest project OF the
epoch. IL the underground maneuvers
against which it is time to aim, do not
cause the pending financial combinations to
fail, the unfortunate French public will
soon receive through the completion of the
canal greater part of the savings SO reck-
lessly sapaidered." Proceeding to make
practical suggestions Lieut.. Wyse advocates
six locks with q single artificial lake in the
center, az tho best scheme. He estimates
the time required to execute the work at
five years and the maximum cost GOO, ,O0O, ,000
francs Monchicourt personally considers
that the report offers a favorable basis for

SON County. Idaho.

BUFFALO, Wyo., April 19.--,The particu-
lars have just been received of a terrible
shooting affray in the No Wood country
in the western part Of this (Johnson) county.
Tho story of the affair is as follows; James
McDermott, ranchman, lives on ths No
Wood river. He married sister TO Thomas
Madden, whose ranch is two or three miles
down the stream. Recently there has been
ttouble between McDermott and his wife
and the latter went to her brothers. house
for protection. For the purpose of effect
ing reconciliation Madden paid his broth
er-in-law visit and demonstrated with
him for ill-treating his wife. This angsred
McDermott and he threatened to go down to
Madden's and ''clean out the whole id
outfit" Finding his persuasive efforts of
no avail, Madden returned home and
the next day he saw his brother-in-l law
coming across the field toward the house.
Remembering the threat that had been
made by the latter, he buckled on his six
shooter and went out to meet him. As soon
as the two men were in converting distance
Madden called to McDermott that he was
to keep away from the house. since he had
made his talk about making trouble. The
arms, wrapped in shawl, and by way of
reply he drew a six-shooter from the folds
of the shawl, and without word of warn
ing fired at Madden, the ball, however,
missing Its mark. Madden returned th Q
fire, and as he shot. his assailant lifted the
child upward as a shield and the bullet
crashed through its brain. Shots were
again exchanged and McDermott fell with
bullet wound through the right side of his
face, while Madden remained uahurt.
The mother, whose son had been slain
and husband badly injured at the hand of
brother, became frantic with grief. The
wounded man was removed to his desolated
home and placed under surgical care.
Madden gave himself up to the authorities
at Bonanza, but not being qualified, they

OF QUIET.
Tho President Ills Party Allowed
to Res ON Sunday.


GALVESTON, April 19.-rhe presidential
party enjoyed much needed rest to-day.
While the people were dosirous of showing
every honor and attention to the chief
magistrate, they respected his request to be
allowed to pass the day in quiet and
abandoned several demonstrations reserved
for to-day. He, as we'll as other members of
the party, are loud in their praises of the
unbounded hospitality of tho people of
Texas 1t is the first time that the chief
magistrate OF the nation has ever visited
the state in his official capacitc, but if
President Harrison isanythlng of prophet
and his successors are at all moved by his
pleasant experience here, 1t will never be
overlooked in that respect in the future. A
noteworthy feature Of the grand demon
stratlon was the cordial welcome given the
president by the Italian colony. All of
their local societies participated in the par
ade, acting as special escort to the Italian
consul at Galveston. and gentlemen after
wards. on their behalf, presented the presi-
dent with beautiful floral design symbolic
OF peace, and fraternity, the American and
Italian flags CROSSED at the top Of the piece
with floral dove between them. 5ts
The president accompanied by Postnas
ter-Genernl Wanamaker, attended divine
services this morning at the First Presby-
terian church. In the afternoon the presi-
dent went out for walk with Mrs. Dimmick
and Mrs. Russell Harrison. Secretary
Rusk having accomplished the business
that brought him to Texas has concluded
to remain with the president during the
remainder of the trip. General Stanley,
commanding the department of Texas.
joined the presidential party at Galveston n
and accompanied it to San Antonio for the
purpose of explaining the military situation
along the Mexican border.
After the reception last night, in respond
ing to the formal welcome, the president,
referring to reciprocity, said: "We are
great enough and rich enough to reach for
ward to grander conceptions than have en-
tered the minds of some of our statesmen
in the past. If you are content, / am not,
that the nations OF Europe shall absorb
nearlv the entire CONNER g of near sister
republics that lie south of u.s. 1t is natur-
ally In large measure ours; ours by neigh

an arrangement with Brazil cannot fail,

cans, to result in lasting benefit to the

sity of having American goods ca. ried in
American ships and said the government
had been 30 penurious in dealing with its
ships that it had actually made money out
OF carrying foreign mails. 1t was now pro-
posed to change this policy and make more
liberal contracts with American lines.
