Washington. April 22.-Dr. Salmon
today was shown the dispatch given
out by R. P. Woodbury.. secretary of
the Kansas City Stock yards. in which
1t was charged that the agitation be-
gun by the agricultural department
has hurt the live stock industry. IN
reply. DIR. Salmon said
1.-THE United States department of
agriculture had it's attention called to
the discrepancy between the prices Of
fat cattle on the hoof and the price
of prime beef in retail markets before
an investigation had been authorized
by any person connected with the de-
partment. He declared that he did not
credit the statement that the agitation
had put down the price of live cattle
and maintained the retail price of beef
as 1T was alleged by the Kansas City
yards people: prices depend now and
of the supply of beef to the demand
for beef.
Agitation and investigation he said
"can neither cripple nor destroy the
truth and the right. and it is due to the
producers and the consumers alike that
the intermediary profits of middlenen
standing between them should be only
reasonable and compensatory. The ad-
vance in prices by retail dealers in
dressed beef of five cents to the con-
sumers. when there is an advance Of
only 81 a hundred pounds to the far
mer and cattle feeders for animals on
hoof is not regarded as equitably pro-
portioned."

SAN FRANCISCO ATTORNEYS VIEWS
OF HIS CLIENT.
She Claims That ExtSheriff Lau-
meister, of Frisco, is Her Rec
reant Lover, Who Sand-bagged
and Robbed Her.

San Francisco, April .22.-Mrs. Fisher. a
woman with two boys of and years,
formerly of indianapolis, who has twice
crossed the continent in search of the
sweetheart who promised to marry her.
but instead of doing so struck her with a
sandbag and robbed her of $4,000 still
claims that .ex-Sheriff Charles S. Laum-
eister, of this city, is the man who has
caused all her trouble.
Mrs. Fisher tells how the ex-sherin, IN
the guise of Mr.. Cecil King, courted her
in person and by letter, and then des-
administering a hard rap upon her head
with a bag filled with sand. She even
goes into details and tells of the recep-
ton in Indianapolis, when she first met
leans, and has g. big bundle of letters that
iklng wrote her, every line glowing win
loving ardor.
Mr.. Laumeister never was in New Or
leans. nor in Indianapolis, nor does he re-
semble in any way the description Mrs.
Fisher has frequently given of King, put
nevertheless she is firm in the belief ina
the ex-sheriff Is her recreant and sand
bagging lover.
George A knight is the woman's attor-
ney, but he don't know what TO make or
Strauss. of Indianapolis, knew King, and
would identify Laumeister as the man.
Knight wrote to Strauss, sending por-
traits of the ex-sheriff. Mr.. Strauss re-
blance to the man who had promised. to
marry and then robbed Mrs Fisher, but
the woman still held to her belief. and as
the ex-sheriff was then in the east she
fastened to New York, arriving there six
weeks ago. She told the story of her
trouble to the police, and warned them
that Laumeister was dangerous person
and that he would not gracefully consent
to capture. So two officers visited Mr..
Laumeister's factory ready for bloodshed.
When they saw him they at once knew
from the description that he was not H.
Cecil King. She had described him as a
man six feet tall, with a black moustache
and a fiat nose. The ex-sheriff has any,
thing but fiat nose, and is not six feet
tall.
Mrs. Fisher was waiting at the police
station. in New York. when Mr.. Laumeis-
ter arrived there. His name was an
nounced to her, and she at once identified
him as King. When the description she
had given the police was read to her and
it was shown that in no way did II cor
respond with Laumeister, she said the
detectives were trying to fool her. Attor-
ney Knight does not know what to make
of his client. He is convinced that she is
not crazy, but can offer no explanation Of
her strange hallucination that the ex-
sheriff is King.
81 think she's just got a notion: 4 you
know. what that means, don't" Mr..
knight explained.

TWENTY YEARS.
Sentence Imposed Upon Ex-United
States Consul Waller.

states Consul waller.
Paris, April pa correspondent Of
the Temps at Tamatave, Island of
Madagascar, states that John T. Wal
Ter, formerly United States consul, was
indicted on two charges, namely: vio-
lation Of an order of the French adj
miralty governing correspondence; and
secondly, writing to the enemy. The
evidence, the correspondent adds, show
ed that Waller entrusted to an officer
of a steamboat a bulky letter, which was
posted at Natal, addressed to NJ. Tescer,
merchant, Antavivo, via Vatomandry.
Unfortunately. it appears, the English
mail was not dropped at Vatomandry,
but was landed at Tamataye, where the
envelope attracted the attention of the
authorities, who opened it, and found
that it contained particulars regarding
the strength of the French garrison the
number of sick. the Importance of out
posts. ETC.; also an enclosure addressed
to Walters friend, E. Underwood
Harvey, editor of the Madagascar News,
asking him to insert it In that paper.
This enclosure it is stated, contained
abominable calumnies regarding the
conduct of French soldiers in NADIA
gascar, and denounced two of Aliens
compatriots, honorable American mer-
chants, who were going to Antanarivo
as spies III tne pay Oh FRANCE. Inc IrlaI
Of Waller lasted only three hours and
three quarters. Waller appealed, but
the sentence was confirmed According
to the correspondent of the Temps, 1t
was the son-in-law of Waller, Paul
Bray, native of Texas not his nephew,
who accompanied him on board the
Djemmah. Bray was expelled from
Madagascar for constant hostility to the
French authorities and troops and for
completely with his father-in-law in
communication with the enemy. He was
handed over to the American consul at
Zanzibar.

CHEAP LANDS FOR ORCHARDS.

That the orchard needs good soil need
not be discussed. But there is a class of
land that is regarded as inferior which
contains, in a large measure. the ele-
ments which the apple tree requires. and
which, by good care. will pay well if set
with apple trees. An exchange in allud-
ing to this matter says that what 10 do
with the land that will not bring more
than So to SIS per acre has been a problem
to many farmers. for generally, such land
IS almost worthless for most crops. Loca-
ted upon hill sides, or in exposed places
where the soil is poor. there seems to be
no use or demand for it. But in the last
quarter of century a great deal Of this
land in the northern belt of states has
been turned into apple orchards, which
have been paying from SIS TO $50 per acre
annually. profit that would be consider
ed satisfactory by any farmer. The ORCH
ards have been we'll taken care OF, and
have demonstrated what can be done. In
stead of allowing the lands to remain idle
the owners planted orchards on it, and
then carefully cultivated them. Today the
land is worth considerably more than 1t
was.

THE SILVER CRAZE.

Gives His Views.

G1FeS HIS views.
New York, April 22.-Henry C. Payne,
one OF the receivers of the Northern
Pacific is at the Waldorf hotel. Speak
ing of the money question and the
silver craze" Mr.. Payne said;
THE general sentiment in Wisconsin
IS antagonistic to the free coinage of
silver. OF course, when you get further
west among the silver mines, you get
into the hot bed of the agitation. The
better papers and the better class Of
people in Wisconsin have taken a stand
against the free coinage theory, but
there is no use denying that the senti-
ncent is growing. This little book called
Coin is being widely distributed, and
as the creed of the silver party is an
enticing one, the silverites are securing
many recruits from the ranks of the
students who do not weigh the matter
carefully. The whole trouble is that the
people are dissatisfied. You can always
get a more ready hearing for new
theory when the people are tired and
wish to discard the laws in vogue II
was said that If the Sherman purchasing
law was repealed we would have good
times. If was repealed, and then the
panic followed. Then they said, readjust
the tariff and it will be all right. An
onslaught was made on the tariff, and
still the good times did not come Then
the Democrats tried some financial legis-
lation. and the people became heartily
Disguised. They began to look around
for relief, and then the opportunity OF
the silver advocate was at hand. He
slipped into the breach with his alluring
theory and plausible statements, finding
many ready listeners. The craze is like
everything else that flares up and
do not think it will last Sober juds-
1ment and intelligent reasoning vii. show
the fallaoy of adopting a deprecated
currency, and I believe that enough wise
voters will be found to counterbalance
the other side v-hen IT comes to test"
Mr.. Payne says that his visit TO New
York is in connection with the routine
business of the Northern Pacific rail-
road He talks freely about Mr..
Spooner's chances as a senatorial choice
from Wisconsin in 1896. He said: 1.-THE
last election changed the complexion Of

will be elected. Mr.. Spooner is a very
able man and I think he will be return

try has been started in Portland. Ore.
said there was no law compelling such
meats to be labeled. as in the case Of

The buyers of beef can distinguish this
kind of meat as government inspection
of slaughtering cattle is made. and a
government tag is placed on each quar-
ter of beef. DR.. Salmon says that the
department has endeavored to secure
legislation similar to the oleomargarine
law which will compel dealers in horse

George J. Gould individually, and Edwin
Gould, George. J. Gould, Howard Gould
and Helen NJ. Gould as executors and
executrix of the last Will of Jay Gould,
to compel the said defendants to &C
count for the proceeds of za.9S3 shares
OF the capital stock of the Denver Pa
cific Railroad and Telegraph company
of the alleged value, with interest. of
sl1,0OoOOo. alleged to have been wrong
fully Withdrawn from the trust created
by the mortgage executed by the
Kansas Pacific Railway company to
Jay Gould and Russell Sage as trustees,
dated May /, 1889. and to remove the de-
PENDANTS, Russell Sage and George J.
Gould, from their trusteeship.
Mr.. Choate said this was an action to
compel the trustees of an express trust
Russell Sage and George ]. Gould, as
successors to Jay Gould-to account for
the proceeds of the trust securities en-
bezzled by them from the trust and con-
verted to their use. He contended that
within ten months after the trust was
constituted. the trustees took the three
millions of stock and appropriated 1T to
their personal use. The bringing IN OF
these defendants, the Union Pacific COM
pany, was unnecessary because the &C.
ton was against these two trustees per-
sonally and the bringing in of the other
trustees would defeat the object sought
to be obtained by the plaintiffs.
Mr.. Pierce held that the bringing In
of the Union Pacific as defendant was
indispensable because without 1t final
adjustment of the rights and equities OF
the parties could not be had. He held
that by a judgment rendered by the
supreme court of New York in 1880 in
the suit of the Kansas Pacific against
Gould and Sage, the 1885 shares of
stock were adiudged to be forever freed
and released from the trust created by
the mortgages and Gould and Sage were
directed to deliver the certificates of
stock to the Kansas Pacific company.
1t is averred Gould and Sage complied
with fhfs order
