WARRINGTON. May 26.-The death of Repre-
sentative Cogswell OF Massachusetts last week

Fifty-third Congress- which far surpassed that
of any previous Congress.

Fifteenth district of Pennsylvania, died within
a week of his ELECTION to the Fifty fourth His
successor is the Hon. James H. Codding.

sentative in Congress- from the Tenth District
OF New York. died. and his successor has not yet
been elected.
Then Gen. Philip 8. Post Of the Tenth Illinois
district died at his hotel In this city after brief
illness, and, local election occurring at about
that time. George A. Prince was chosen to fill
the vacancy in the Fifty-fourth Congress thus
created.
Gen. Cogswell's death makes the fourth in tho
list. Beside these he Hon. j. c. Burrows. mem.
ber from the kalamazoo (Mich.) district for stx-
teen years and reelected last November for an

Mr. Platt spent half OF Saturday with Gov.

that Mr. Platt was disappointed over the Gov
ernors action, but they have been friends for
thirty years, and the veto Of the Charities bill
turns out to be merely an incident in the rea-

Gov. Morton believed that the bill was too ex-

NO MARKET FOR OUR HORSE MEAT
The Domestic Supply Sumcient In France.
Germany, and Austria.

Germany, and Austria.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Department of
Agriculture has been called upon by two farmers
in the Mississippi Valley. one. in Indiana and
ono in Missouri, to inform them whether there
was any probability Of finding a market In Eu-
rope for horse meat,
In a letter just sent to them. Secretary Morton
gives the results of certain inquiries made by
United States Consuls at the request Of
the Department, respecting tho use OF
horse meat for food in Franco. Ger
many. and Austria. the only countries
in which the people seem to make It a part of
their diet at all. These facts do not hold out
any promise to the horse producers OF the United
States that a market can be found or made for
their animals food.
Over 100000 horses were killed in France last
year for food purposes, but the statistics show
that while in 1891 $4,000 pounds of horse meat
were imported into the country that amount de-
creased in succeeding years, until In 1904 there
was none imported showing that the domestic
supply OF animals was sufficient for the demand.
And then the prices paid for the meat were
not large. They ranged from TO cents q
pound. while for pork 10 to ll1s cents a pound
was paid, for beef l16 to l4a4, and for mutton
l4A to ls. And. besides this. duty of S2.l9 q
hundred pounds is imposed.
The same condition of things practically eX-
lists in Germany and Austria. which impose
tariff OF S216 and Sl.3l respectively upon each
100 pounds Of horse meat.

Sir Charles Tupper Resigns from the Do
minion Cabinet.
OTTAWA March 2S.-There is more ex-
citemenU in political circles today than at
any time since the news. was received here
of the sudden death at Windsor Castle of
Sir John Thompson, That there are seri-
Gus discussions in the cabinet goes with
out saying. There are two causes for this
want Of harmony. One is the recent pas
sage of the order in council recommend
ing the Manitoba government TO grant
remedial legislation to the Catholic minor
ity. This order has pleased nobody The
Catholics of Quebec think that the order
ought to be mandatory, while the Protes-
tants of Ontario assert that the federal
government ought not, even by sugges-
| ton to interfere with the question of pro
yincial education The other cause Of
trouble was the decision of the cabinet to
hold a session of parliament before going
to the country This decision was bitterly
opposed by Hon. George Foster, minister
of finance.
1t is known that Sir Charles Upper has
tendered his resignation. His resignation
was brought about by two causes. In the
first place, his advice that an Immediate
appeal should be made to the country was
| disreparded, and his claim to lead the
| house of commons was denied. 1t is GUS
| tomery for the minister of justice, which
portfolio Sir Charles Tupper holds, to lead
but owing to his youth and the jealousy
of older cabinet members the leadership
/ was given to Mr.. Foster.
There is a very pronounced rumor to the
effect that Finance Minister Foster and
Mr. N Clark Wallace, the controller OF
customs, will also resign. Should this
prove true, IL means that the French
Catholics will have preponderance o.
power in the cabinet, thing that Ontario
will not agree to.
