tic business conducted by the range cat
tie owners OF Montana is continuously
kept in view, and in one very important
respect, controlled by the association.
which is in reality a congress of the
owners To give an idea of the magni-
Jude of the business. the figures for the
year 1888 are here appended:

The total marketing Of nearly 100000
head Of cattle FROM Montana range dur
ing the past year aggregates. according
to Conservative figures, from 100000
to s~l2.0OOOO0. a total sum from one
industry that is by no means insig
niiicant. In the figures given on
strays in the foregoing. the fea-
ture that We have endeavored to ex.
plain is made apparent. The total
number of strays reported being 1855
and the number finally traced to owners
by the association. and paid for. being
only 1879. il might be inferred that the
proceeds Of 12.626 animals not ac-
counted for is still in the hands Of the
association. This is not SO. as a very
large proportion Of the number unac
counted for were not strays in the true !
sense Of the term. having been shipped
Intentionally and by arrangement, and
settled for between owners. without the
intervention Of the association. In fact
by the time a new shipping season rolls
around. the secretary's records are pref
ty well cleared Of 'strays ~unaccounted
for. though there is a small percentage
every year that defies all efforts to reach
owners and in consequence an accumu-
lation Of several thousand dollars is an
nually made. and from time to time az
piled to other uses and for the benefit OF
the cattle interest at large. In connec
ton with the figures for 1893 here given.
ii may be Of interet to some to have a
recapitulation of the past three years.

A HARD SHOCK.
Portions Of the Republic of Mex
leo Visited by Earthquakes.
Loss of Life Reported in Various States
sixteen Persons Known to BE Dead
DEMONSTRATION the People
Turn to Prayer.

CITY OF MExIco Nov. 5.-.The earth
quake which visited this section of the
republic Friday evening was the most
severe which has been felt sinSe 1858.
Reports of damage to life and property
are slow in being collected, but it is
known that thirteen people were killed
in this city and at least three at
outside points. Many roofs of old
buildings fell and in some instances
crushed to instant death the occupants
of the houses.
From telegraph advices from central
and southern Mexico the disturbance
is shown to have covered the state and
federal district of Mexico, and lasted
from one to four minutes. Seven dis
tinct shocks were felt at Jojutla, in
the state of Morelos, and smart shocks
were felt at Tulancingo, in the state
of Hidalgo. AT ojusco an Indian and
his wife were crushed to death under
the roof of their adobe house.
Being holiday and one of the chief
festival days of the year, the theaters
were thronged, and panics ensued. Sew
eral people were hurt in TIE rush of
exit, and many women went into hys-
terics. The songs on the stage were
succeeded by impassioned prayers for
forgiveness and confession of error.
The plays were generally abandoned
and the audiences remained in the
seats, kneeling in prayer. Traffic was
completely abandoned at the first
premonition. Drivers deserted the
street cars and coachmen their hacks
to kneel in prayer along with the
throngs sending up their supplica-
tions. In palace and in humble home
nothing but prayer was to be heard.
The threatened destruction was made
more solemn by the ringing of bells in
the sWaYing church toWers

An Inceudiary Blaze Causes Heavy Loss
In New Orleans.

In New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 5.-Develop.
ments in the labor troubles show the
| desperation of the white men who work
along the levee and indications are
that the worst is not yet over. Sunday
afternoon the torch was applied to the
wharf of the West India and
Pacific Steamship company on the
levee at the foot of Nun street, and be-
fore the flames were subdued there
was a loss of 100000 in merchandise,
cotton and damage to one of their
steamships. About half was insured.
The fire started in the cotton under
the sheds and the blaze seemed to have
come from dozen places at once, in
dicating it had been set. The fire
burned away the shed for 900 feet, de-
stroying 1900 bales of cotton, $50 bar
rels of molasses and 75O slaves.
The steamship Haverstoe, consigned
to Knoop, Frederick &c Co., had her
forecastle, mainmast and forward rig
ging damaged; loss, S5 She was
towed out into the stream. The
French steamer Colona, of the Trans
atlantic company, was slightly dam
aged. The loss of tarpaulins was S3,-
600. Nearly all the outside cotton was
covered with them.
The trouble is race war between
the white and colored screwmen and
longshoremen. 1t resulted Saturday
in riot, in which one negro was
killed and several wounded, and then
sort of truce was patched up. by
which all the steamship agents agreed,
except one, Stoddard & Co., to en-
ploy only white laborers on their
ships. Then came the longshoremen's
strike, and that eliminated in white
longshoremen refusing to work with
the negroes For the last two days
things have been comparatively quiet,
but there was little work done on the
levee, one steamboat being loaded by
negroes under protection of fifty po.
lice. The police are almost powerless,
and it is likely the governor will order
out troops.

ILLEGAL BUSINESS.

A Fraudulent Land and building AssocI-
alton Wiped Out-Systematic Robbery.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE United
Land and Building Syndicate, of Jersey
City, was yesterday declared by the
post Office department to be conducting
a fraudulent business and forbidden the
use of the mails under penalty of crimi-
nal prosecution.
1t is said at the post Office depart
ment that this company operated an
extensive swindle and profited to
great extent by its illegal business.
Its manager, o. w. Roper, few days
ago, was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary. The system of TIE con-
Germ was to advertise u number of lots
for sale in certain locality which
could be obtained by the credulous by
paying small instalments, say two dol
lars month. AS matter of fact, the
syndicate" did not have foot of land
in the United States and the persons
who entered into arrangements with it
left their money without receiving any
thing in return.
