THE CATTLE BUSINESS.

The Montana Live Stock Journal says
that, when considering what the future
Of the meat market is going to be, it is
only necessary to recall the number of
dispatches that are read in the news
papers announcing the establishment Of
dressed beef and packing plants all over
the country, to conclude that persons
with money and business sagacity see
that the future Of the beef business is
full of promise. Philadelphia is to have
huge plant, Waco, Texas, is favored by
a Chicago firm with two hundred and
fifty thousand dollar establishment.
Kansas City will have great New York
organization, and the city of Syracuse.
N. Y, announces a new packing house,
and Los Angeles will have monster
packing establishment erected by the
Cudahys of Chicago. These cities are by
no means the only ones where such en-.
terprise is gaining way. They are mere

A SINGULAR PROCEEDING.

The steamer which arrived at San
Francisco last Friday from Honolulu
brought the startling Intelligence that
the Stars and Stripes which had for two
months Hoated from the Hawaiian gov
eminent building had been hauled down
and the forces from the United States
cruiser Boston sent aboard the ship, by
orders from Commissioner Blount, who
was sent by President Cleveland to in
vestigate affsirs on the islands. 1t IS
stated that the occurrence created among
the Americans at Honolulu feeling OF
CONSERVATION not unmixed with indigra.
ton. We should think it would. On
the afternoon Of March 3lst Blount had
secret conference with President Dole
and the cabinet, after which he notified
them of his intention to declare of the
protectorate established by Minister Ste
vens. He gave az a reason that the
Washington administration regarded it
as incompatible with any diplomatic
relations between the two countries, and
that it was unnecessary. He stated,
however, that the United States would
allow no other foreign power to interfere
with Hawaiian affairs. What the whole
business means is mystery to the people
Of the country, as the great" men now
in power at Washington are as dumb as
oysters in regard to the matter Senator
Cullom, when interviewed as to Blount's
action, said the only reason he could give
was that the Democratic party was 90
accustomed to hauling down the Ameri-
can flag that Democratic administra-
ton couldn't resist the force OF habit
"They have taken the flag down when
ever they have had an opportunity, said
the Senator. land there was time
when they had it down in the States for
quite while" Democratic Senators
would not express an opinion.

WILL THE CHINESE HAVE TO GO :

The constftutionality of the Geary act,
which requires Chinese to register, will
probably be passed upon by the United
States supreme court next month. The
act goes into effect on the 9TH of May.
and an arrest Of Chinese laborer who
has not complied with the law will be
made, habeas corpus proceedings institu-
ted and the test Of oonstitutionality com.
menced. The case will be at once
decided by the district court and then
carried to the supreme court, which will
give it preference on account OF its i'm
portance. The Six Companies OF San
Francisco who control mostly all the
Chinese in America, have been advised
by couple of down-east lawyers that
the act is unconstitutional, and all Chi.
namen have been ordered to ignore it.
After May 5th every Chinaman texcep'
those engaged in mercantile pursuits
who has not registered is liable-to arrest
The government will probably abstain
from the enforcement of the act until the
supreme court passes upon it.

sumed in discussing proposed memorial

RAILROAD RUMoRs.
j. M. Culp Named as Centrars New
Traffic ManaRer.

Atlanta Ga, Nov. 29-}Sensationa
rumors about changes in railroad circles
are flying thick and fast around the rail
road offices here to-day.
One of these rumors is that A. Pope,
secretary of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, is to be made
traffic manager of the Seaboard Air Line
to succeed O. V. Smith.
Another is that j. NJ Culp will be made
traffic manager Of the Central rail
road This, it Is claimed, has been in
contemplation some time and is a move on
the part of j. Somers Hayes, who was re-
Gently appointed co-receiver of the Cen
trail by Justice jackson, to represent the
interests of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal.
TO VOTE THEIR CENTRAL STOCK.
1t is also stated that it is more than
likely that the Richmond and Danville
will vote their Central stock at the next
meeting of the Central railroad stock
holders, and if they do, it is a certainty
that Mr.. Culp win be made the traffic
manager.
The Journal, commenting on the recent
railroad rumors, says: "To railroad men
who know the situation, it seems rather
q strange thing that Mr.. Conner should
now be making any railroad deals or COM
binations, when it is not known what the
fate of the Central railroad will be; for,
If the indications are verified, the Central
property will be sold in March"

THE MILITIA.

The latest returns report an organized
militia Of / IL, ,597 in the states, of whom,
in round numbers, 5000 are in the artil-
cry arm, maintained by "a states. and
5000 in the cavalry, maintained by "A
states Requests for the cooperation
and assistance of the federal government
in the equipment and instruction of the
militia are greater than ever in times of
peace, and are the index Of an intelligent
interest in the nations military growth
and progress.
The Improvement of the harbors and
internal water ways of the country. a
work of immense consequence to our com
merce and general benefit to the people,
has made excellent progress under the
support OF the liberal appropriations voted
for that purpose. The chief of engineers
estimates that in the continuance Of these
works in accordance with the existing
projects as adopted by congress, the sum
of S9S, no Gil can be expended during the
next fiscal year This estimate has been
transmitted TO the Secretary of the
Treasury as required by law, but it is
not the opinion of the department that
the public necessities demand the ex-
penditure of such an amount at this
time. The average annual amount act
ually expended for such work during the
last ten years has 1sen about SIC, 1000, 600
and it is believed that this can well be re-
duced for the present year, if iudiciously
allotted, to s. 800 600, the sum fixed in the
department estimates.
The expenditures for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1898, under the war de-
partment aggregated S51, 1856, ,074 includ-
ing 20,5l86 631 for public works, mainly
river and harbor improvements. The
appropriations for the current fiscal year
aggregate SIS, 1923, ,525, including 2l7 POI, =
l65 for public works, mainly river and
harbor improvement. The secretary sub
mits estimates for the ensuing fiscal year
aggregating $52, sac 800, including SOL
564,307 for river and harbor improve
ments and other public works.
