Horse Market Found.

WARRINGTON. d. c.. April a-ln view Of
the closing of Germany's market to Ameri-
can cattle there is another direction towards
which packers might we'll turn their atten-
ton. and that is the preparation and sale of
horse meat.
Tho above suggestion is made by United
States Consul hinge at Brunswick, Ger
many. in a report to the state department..
He says that in large German cities the con-
sumption of hors, meat 10 as graf as that
OF beef or mutton and it is growing in tho
smaller towns.
of course, the customers are exclusively
of the poorer classes. but they compose nine
tenths of the consumers of the country. and
he meat is so at . cents pound as sgain-t
beef at from Is to % cents. The consul sets
out reasons to prove that horse meat is quite
as go, as beef.
He says the demand has increased so rap
idly in Germany that IT is difficult to meet
it. and whereas butchers formerly paid from
s. to $40 for a worn out horse for slaughter,
they now pay $45 and $50 and prizes arc
rising.
The consul sees her, a great opportunity
for American packers. He says the horss
supply in America is practically inexhausti-
Bile: they can be raised in ths west cheaper
than cattle and are more easily shipped.
The meat cannot be canned. but it can be
furnished salted or smoked as we'll as fresh
just as it is used in Germany.

Shows Case Decided.

TOPEKA, April a-Judge Hazen in the dis
trct court decided the somewhat famous
case of State Printer E. II. Snow against his
partner in the state printing Arm, c. B.
Hamilton.
The decision is not a complete victory for
either side. Mr.. SHOWS application for an
Injunction to prevent Hamilton from dis
DC sing of tho plant was denied. The appli-
cation for a receiver, however, which was
asked for by both Snow and one of the
stockholders IN the company. was granted.
and the receiver viii! probably be named
soon.
In his decision Judge Hazen was brief and
spoke without consulting his notes. He de-
MED the injunction because tho evidence
had failed to show any fraud. or how Ham,
ilton's disposal of his own plant would In
fringe on the rights of Mr.. Snow.
The proposition of Hamilton to sell out
was made to Major ]. X. Hudson, the state
printer. elect. and the price suggested was
20 per cent less than the last purchase price
of the plant. Judge Hazen held that this
was q fair business proposition.

British Greed.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 3.-The secretary
of state 10 very much concerned these days
by the Venezuelan problem.
1t appear, that cur am bassador, Mr.. Bay
ard, has not succeeded in inducing thu
British government to give heed to the re-
quest submitted to him by the direction OF
congress that the boundary dispute be sub
mitted to arbitration. The British are pro-
fuse in their declaration Of a willingness to
arbitrate the land west of the Schoom berg
line, but in the view # the state department.,
this is a pure evasion of the real is ue, for
there never has been any reasonable asser-
ton Of British right to this territory and
it is territory lying east of this line that
forms the substance of the contention. The
present situate on Is believed to be alarming.
as armed bodies of British and Venezuslans
are pressing each other closing in the dis
puted territory and there may be a hostile
clash at any moment.
The administration has been considering
carefully the cour-e TO be pursued in such
case and It is entirely probable that If the
British p rsi,t in bringing about such col
lision tier failure to hear the repeated
warnings and r, quests Of the United States
to submit the matter To arbitration, then the
United States will feel obliged to follow the
moral and it has given to Venezuela in this
matter by more substantial assistance.

Fad Bonds in the School Fund.

do bonus IN TIC 0C1OOI u0os
TOPEKA. April 1.-State Treasurer Ather.
ton has submitted to State Superintendent
Stanley statement concerning the de.
fauted bonds and interest in the perman-
cnt school fund.
Bonds to the amount of $40 .000 have been
defaulted in principal. Interest TO the
amount of 1880 has been defaulted also.
In this amount is included interest on the
$4,000 defaulted principal. The old Law
renee bonds which are VIGOROUSLY bad, to
tn. amount of 100000 are also on hand.
There is an amount of $4,000 defaulted on
VIII It are known as the Sam WOOL bonds.
which were fraudulent issues from Rice and
other counties in western Kansas.
This makes total of Sl51 900 in bon g,
some of which are worthless and will never
be otherwise. There are some bonds in the
trea ,ury that the interest ha. been defaulted
upon, but there is no reason at this time for
p acing them in the list of fraudulent and
worthless bonds because they are not yet
que.
The bad bonds include S34. 900 of Wichita
county and $4,000 OF Hamilton county pur-
chased last year.
Tn work embodied in the report made
by Mr.. Atherton is what will be done over
by the COMMITTEES appointed by the the son.

ShortaRe Of Revenues,

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2-Contfary to
the expectations Of the officials the treasury
receipts for March will again fall below
expenditures. The excess Of expenditures
over receipts for nine months of the present
fiscal year arU $S6,5OO.OOO, and this amount
will almost certainly be increased By $780,
0CO or more during April. which will leave .
deficit of about 81. OOo, 900 on May I.
During May and June, however. great
things are expected from the income tax,
but the most conservative estimates now
place the deficit for the fiscal year a. $751;
0O0.OO. The outlook for heavy receipts
from the two great sources Of income. Gus
toms and internal revenue. are not encouf.
aging. particu arly the latter.
all things considered, much depends upon
the decision Of the supreme court on tho
question of the validity of the income tar.
Should the law be upheld, as seems alto
9ether probable, the treasury officials look
for fair sailing from this time On. but
should the law be declared unconstitutional
an extra session of congress, called to pro-
vide for revenue sufficient to meet the needs
Of the government, IL regarded by the OH
Gals a. at least probable.

Devoe Reports Positively.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 29.-As soon
As the department of agriculture was advised
by Governor Morrill,, of Kansas. of an al.
legged outbreak of contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia in that state, Secretary Morton dc.
tailed Travelling Inspector W. S Devoe, OF
the bureau of animal industry, to proceed
at once to Kansas and ascertain ali OF the
facts, and his report states positively there
is no pleuro- pneumonia in the state, and
that the suspected animals are free from tho
dread disease.
thorough investigation was made BY
him in Kansas. His dispatches to Secretary
Morton state most positively that there was
nothing in the history of animals. nothing
in their appearance and nothing discovered
in post morten examination. either by the
local veterinarians or by the department In
spector. which indicated remotely that they
were affected with the contagious pleuro-
pneumonia.
The officials at the agricultural depart
NEXT have maintained from the first that 1t
is impossible for the disease in question to
break out in Kansas, be cause the contagion
had never existed in that section OF the
country and there have been no recent i'm.
portatiuns of cattle BY which it could have
been carried there.

Over His Veto.

LINCOLN, NEB., April 2.-Governor Hol-
comb sent in his veto of the sugar bounty
act, but without avail. As the legislature
promptly passed the bill over his veto. The
governor sent a long message in which he
discussed especially the feature of taking
money raised by taxation for such purposes.
The following sentences express the sub
stance of his message:
Il am unable to approve Of this act for
that, in my judgment, it Is in the nature OF
class legislation and of doubtful constitu-
tionality. Through it. under the form Of
taxation. the sacred rights of property OF
the many are invaded and their means taken
to advance the welfare of those only who
are engaged in this industry"
The house took prompt action. and by q
vote of SO to % passed the bill over the veto.
In the senate the vote wac equally emphatic.
and the bill was passed over the veto by 50
to 5. The measure was republican ooe.
1t gives g cents bounty for sugar and q
small bounty on chcory.

More Satisfactory.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Rev:sw of Trade for
last week says:
Indications of improvement are the moro
satisfactory because neither accompanied
nor apparently produced by a speculative
craze. Dealings 10 stocks, cotton and wheat
are not diverting all the interest and capital
from productive indu tries and legitimate
trade. though these products are all a shade
9 ronger. But raiir Dad earnings, banx clear
ings and industrial indications are more en-
cOuraRing.
1t il a remarkable feature that the lifting
this year begins at the bottom. so to speak.
Raw materials are rais,d before there is any
larger demand for their finished products. a
thing not often done with succase Hides
rose, then leather. and then shoes; cotton
rose, and then afterwards some cotton goods !;
coke was advanced. and after wards Bes-e mer
pig. In all thes, cases it is reasoned that
the larger mand for consumption. though
yet wanting, must come when it is seen that
prices are going up.
Higher wages for coke workers have been
followed by II formal advance of 40 cents in
the price of coke. and new Bessemer pig
has risen 35 cents at Pittsburg and 25 at
Philadelphia.
Guesses about the condition of wheat
have varied widely this week and prices
are not much higher, the net advance being

been 1891 ,Oo1 bu hels against 1.446,613 last
year, and for the month, 6,511.7OS bushels

Will Capture Formosa.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April 2.-Secretary
Gresham has received official announcement
of the declaration of an unconditional arms
tice by the emperor Of japan.
1t is noted here with interest that the terms
of the armistice do not apply to the lower
coast of China, and particularly to Formosa
and the other islands. This is taken to mean
that the ia paness have determined TO occupy
Formosa before the peace negotiations are
completed. and the explain ton Of this pur-
pose is found in the fact that it is almost an
invariable rule of international law that
nation must be in actual armed pos 's-ion OF
q piece of territory as basis for demand
for its possession.

Governor MOrriiiS' OlSpatcn.
It Is stated at the White house that the
telegram from Governor Morrill,. of Kansas,
urging the president to take active measures
at once for the protection and release of
ex.United States Consul Waller. reported to
have been unjustly imprisoned by the French
government in Madagascar, under sentence
of court martial has not We: been received
by the president.
The state department has had no con-
frmaton of the report from United States
Consul Wetter at Tamatave. nor from Mr..
Campbell. our consul at Mauritus, which -
the nearest cable point to Madagascar. 1t
is probable that the governors message
may cause the etate department to cab:e to
one of these consuls tor an account OF the
affair instead of waiting until report comes
to hand through the mails from this remote
point, which, although it might be sufficient
in an ordinary case, would hardly meet the
requirement of q case involving the lmpris-
onment of an American citizen.
Governor Morrllrs course in directing
himself directly to the president IN this
matter is said to be unusual, and may be
based on the precedents set by the state de-
partment in calling on the governor Of Lou
isiana and the governor of Colorado to
protect citizens of foreign countries within
their respective states.
