MO LOSS OF CATTLE.


CHICAGO. Feb 3l.-Despatches from
Guthrie, q. T., say that the unprece-
denied storms of January 80 and Febru-
airy II and ~ have wrought dire havoc
among the cattle upon the great ranges
in the Indian rescrvationsin the territory.
The extreme cold and the unusual ac-
compartment of large quantities OF 10Y
could not well be withstood by cattle
already weakened by the shortage OF
winter pasture and thousands OF them
persisted. while hos that remain are in a
very shaky condition. The cattlemen
who have cattle in this territory will,
many of them. be badly cramped 10y their
losse. and they declare that they will
market what stock they have i'm the
spring and quit the business. Continued
low prices, the cutting down OF their pas
lures by settling of lands and the constant
meddling OF ngres with their leases
with the Indians ave caused them all
10 lose heavily for several years and they
will quit entirely or 40 TO some other
part OF the territory. IL the treaties
made with the Indian tribes are ratified
10y the present congress the range land in
this territory will be so greatly reduced
in area that Oklahoma will M longer be
a factor in the production Of range cattle.
Kansas advices state that the recent
blizzard and snowstorm which covered
the entire state is the worst ON range
cattle that has visited the state for years.
II this snow remains long oni the ground
hundreds OF head of cattle will die Of
starvation. Already they are dying for
want OF feed in several localities, the

for an Adverse Decision by Judge

BROOKLYN, y. Y, Feb. 2A-This IL
perhaps the most trying day for John y.

be determined whether he is TO be taken
TO Sing Sing Mt oncetp begin his six years
sentence for his conduct at Gravesend
during the recent election, or be granted
a stay of execution and released On bail
pending decision of the upper courts on
appeal. Mcknne's lawyers and friends,
II II evident, have not been idle, and IL re
ports are true, have several strings 20
their bow. The report from Albany of
the efforts there OF Justice Newton, Nc
hsnes lieutenant, To prepare for an
emergency such as the refusal of Judge
Cullen TO gran n certificate of reasonable
doubt, csuses great rejoicing in the Nc
Kane camp and they all feel confident
this morning that their chief will be
among them by Sunday.
IL il understood that Judge Newton's
mission tn Albany has been eminently
successful, and should Judge Cullen deny
the application Tor n certificate OF reason
able doubt, Judge Fursman of Troy
stands prepared To grant such a certih-
cate. IL does not appear that Judge
Newton called personally upon Judge
Fursman. A very influential democrat,
who is on intimate terms with Senator
Murphy, OF Troy, il mentioned as having
acted ms the medium. IL is said that
Judge fursmaa, while maintaining n
judicial reserve, said enough IL convince
the gentleman who called upon him that
1t would DO no harm for John Y. Mckane
TO apply TO him for n certificate OF reason

at least one other judge OF the supreme

so. This is Judge Herrick. OF Albany, the

RIO JANEIRo. Feb. 81. The United
States cruiser Detroit, which has been
cruising south, has returned TO Rio
Janeiro. the government is in peaceable
possession of all southern points except
Desterro, where Admiral de Mello has
appointed a president aud two ministers.
The Detroit was unable TO find Admiral
Gle Mello. At each port she visited the
officers were informed that he had just
left.
Admiral da CANA, who is in command
of the insurgent forces here, has told the
representative of the United Press that
he has countermanded the order that he
had placed tor supplies in the United
States, for the wal will be at an end baiore
the order could be filled and delivered.
The Church leaders, who have con
tracted with the insurgents, should they
triumph, for the restoration OF the church
privileges that were abolished upon the
establishment of the republic, and who
have supplied the insurgent leaders with
large sums in gold, have notified Admiral
da Cana that the supply of money FUR
nished by them will cease unless decisiNe
progress is made soon.
Admiral da CANA, who was wounded
in the neck and left arm during the re
cent attack on Armacao, expects that 1t
will be necessary for his arm TO he ampu-
tsted. His general health is good, and
he will probably survive the operation.
He promises to push the fighting, but he
plainly is unable TO do so. He seeks an
honorable road to escape from the conse-
quences of the insurrection, but II Is
probable that he will not be able to hnd
one. Even some of the younger officers
anon the insurgents, who ave hitherto
refused to listen TO anything but warlike
proposals, are now anxious for the strug-
gle to be brought TO An end.
The insurgent warships A~quidaban and
Liberdade were under steam last night,
their commanders thinking that the dy'
Mantle cruiser N~ictheroy, which left APP
parently for the south, woula return.
The insurgents deny that there has been
any revolt among the sailors on Engenho
island. They say that the firing that
gave rise TO the report grew out of an at
tack upon the island by government
troops. This story, however, IL not gen
orally believed. 1t is thought that there
was a revolt among the insurgents on the
