BIG TIMBER DEAL.
Americans Secure S6OOOO Acres Of
Valuable Forest i'm Nova Scotia.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-The Brooklyn Ea-
gle says: One of the largest lumber deals
record has just been completed. 1t includes
the purchase of $4,000 acres of Nova Scotia
timber lands, together with sixteen lumber
mills, all in operation, and with established
markets in England The syndicate which
is back of this is composed of unusually
strong men in the financial world. Tney
include Charles r. Flint and II. B. Hollins.
of New York; Chakes l.. James. OF James
& Abbott of Boston; w. A. Boland of
Boston; w. A. Taft, head of the export
lumber company, Boston, and Louis A. Hall,
one of the leading lumber men of Michigan.
The company is to be known as the Domin
ion Lumber Company, limited. and is or
ganiZed under the laws of the province of
millions of dollars but accurate information
on that point cannot be ascertained. as
those interested are noncommittal For the
last two years the syndicate mas been ne
gotiating with Benjamin Il. Pearson, of
Halifax, who had secured options on the
property. The company has had cruisers
of Mr.. Hall and George A. Crawford count
ing trees and making estimates Of the
productiveness of the property. When the
new tariff BILL which provides for free lum-
Der where there formerly had been a 81
duty on it, went into effect, the negota-
tons were pressed more vigorously and
cipal kinds of trees which will be cut are
spruce, pine, hemlock, beech, maple and
birch. and in all the 100000 acres it is said
there is scarcely one which is unproductive.
There are many rivers running through the
lands. Along these rivers $40 miles of water
front is secured. The title to the property,
to the crown and is free from all incurr-
brancas. Agencies will be continued by the
company in England and new ones will be
opened IN the United States and in France
and North America

his identity he shall order him to be
delivered up to the officer who is de-
manding his rendition. unless it shall
appear in evidence that the person is
wanted for some crime committed in the
State where he is found. With this ex-
ception the only question for the judge
to determine is that of the identity of
the person arrested with the person
named in the Governors warrant That
done. he cannot refuse to order the per-
son to be delivered up to the officer who
is demanding him. The Judge has no
right to affix any conditions to the order
of surrender. Even the Governor cam
not do that. The only ground on which
the Governor of one State can refuse to
issue warrant for the arrest of a fu-
gitive from justice on the requisition of
the Governor of another State is shat
the alleged fugitive is held to answer
for some crime committed in the State
where he is found. Unless this cause
for refusal exist the Governor must is
sue his warrant for the persons arrest
and it must be unconditional. If the
Governor cannot issue a conditional war
rant of arrest much less can a judge
affiX a condition to his order of surren-
der. If this could be done one judge
might name one condition. and another
judge another condition. and the extra
dition laws of the States would be para
lyzed. If an Ohio judge could require
guaranty that a prisoner would not
he lynched, an Indiana Judge might re-
quire a condition that he should not be
confined in an unhealthy jail. and an
Illinois judge that he should not be de-
prived of tobacco. The Constitution of
the United States does not contemplate
any such frivolous interference with the
surrender of fugitives from justice.
1t is. of course. the duty of the Gov
ernor of Kentucky to that all per-
sons in that State are protected from
mob violence. and that all persons
charged with crime have fair trial.
but it is no part of the duty of the Gov
ernor or of a judge in another State to
dictate to him in the matter Judge
Buchwalters position is not tenable and
he will soon find that he has made a
mistake.

A POLICY OF DISASTER.

On New Years day Mr.. Nelson Morris,
of Chicago, the largest exporter of cattle
and beef in the United States, received
cablegram from his agent in Antwerp,
stating that the Belgian government
had prohibited the importation of live
cattle, on the alleged ground that pleu-
ro-Dneumonia IS prevalent in this coun-
try. This closes all the ports of CONT
mental Europe to American cattle and
beef products, Austria, Germany, France
and other European countries having
already taken similar action.
The reason given for this action is
mere, pretext. The authorities of Eu-
ropean governments have abundant
means of securing correct information
and they must know perfectly we'll that
pleuro-pneumonia is not prevalent
in this country. and that no danger could
arise from the Importation of American
cattle and beef. The real cause of the
act is resentment on account of our new
sugar tariff. In other words it is di-
rect result of the Wilson bill. Mr. Nor
ris, who. by the way, is a Democrat, is
reported as saying:
The Belgians base their action on the dam
ger of pleuro-pneumonia infection. This I
am satisfied. is only an excuse. Cattlemen
know there is no pleuro-pneumonia to speak
ing the lead of Austria, Germany, France
and other European nations, in taking re-
taliatory measures against the United States
for the abolition of the reciprocity treaty
under which their sugar industry had
prospered.. Where It will end don't know.
But, for the time being, it has killed the
export of cattle. 1 had a steamer load of
beeyes all ready to sail from New York
to-day for Antwerp, but the receipt of this
cablegram compelled me to wire the can
tain to wait for orders.
In reply to a suggestion that Secretary
Morton had said that the shutting out
of American cattle and beef was the
work of the Agrarian party, Mr.. Morris
sai1:
Mr.. Morton is a free trader and poll
tician and naturally wants to make the best
these foreign countries we have been talk
ing about don't like our new sugar tariff

says our exports of live stock and live
stock products to Germany have not
say in this connection is that American ex-
ports of cattle and dressed beef alone ag-
gregate s10o,oOO.OO0 year, and England has
not been our best market, either In this
total of 800 100000 / have made no allow
ance for packed tsan or picked goods hog
our trade with these items included would
be l am not prepared to say, but it would
be something enormous.
Thus the disastrous results of the re-
peal of the reciprocity treaties and the
ill-advised duty on sugar are accumu-
lating. Mr.. Morris estimates the value
of the American cattle and dressed beef
trade at 500 200, 900 year. Our foreign
trade in hog products was as much more
and our Cuban and Brazilian flour trade
was very large and rapidly increasing.
Two years of Democratic laundering
have ruined this trade. and the end is
not yet.

AN UNTENABLE POSITION.

The controversy between the Govern
or of Kentucky and an Ohio judge, rela-
tive to the extradition of a colored man
charged with crime, presents an entirely
new question. The facts, briefly stated,
are as follows: A few days ago dep
uty sheriff from Kentucky arrested, near
Cincinnati, on warrant issued by Gov
ernor Mckinley upon reauisition from
Governor Brown, of Kentucky, a colored
man named Hampton. who was under
indictment for crime committed in
Kentucky. Hampton refused to accom-
pany the officer. He said he was willing
to go back if he could be assured a
fair trial. but he had reason to believe
he would be lynched. When the case
came before Judge Buchwalter. of Gin
cinnati, he declined to order Hampton's
surrender without an assurance from
the Governor of Kentucky that he would
be protected against mob violence. The
Judge said:
L have sent two colored men back late
ly, one to Georgia and one TO Kentucky.
peddler was only shooting at some
body, he was taken by mob out of the
Burlington jail and hung to tree. de-
termined then i would never send another
prisoner South unless l had assurance he
would be protected from a mob and given
fair trial l must have letter from
Governor Brown and the sheriff of your
county to ,..at effect.
AS the Judge was firm in his position
the deputy sheriff returned to Kentucky
to stry and get the necessary guaranty
from the Governor. In this, however,
he is not likely to succeed. as Governor
Browns statement published in the
journal yesterday indicates very clearly
that he will not comply with Judge
Buchwalter's conditions. Eliminating
from his statement the portions which
do not bear directly on the point at is
sue, he said:
ing Hampton, that the Governor of Ken
lucky and the sheriff shall first give a
written guarantee v' that ne Will t De pro
ported. contravenes the Constitution of the
United States, which requires the States
to surrender fugtiveS from justice. 1t as
sumes authority not thought of by Gov
ernor Mckinley and annuls Governor Nc
Kinley's warrant as well as violates federal
law. The logic of such decision. if made
q rule. would be to make Kentucky fugi-
tives from justice an asylum in Ohio.
The Journal is of opinion that the
Governor is entirely right in his view of
the case The Constitution of the United
States says that "a person charged in
any State with crime who shall flee
from justice and be found in another
state. shall. on demand of the execu-
tive authority of the State from which
he fled, be delivered up. to be removed
to the State having jurisdiction of the
crime The extradition laws of the
different States make it the duty of the
Governor of State in which a fugitive
from justice is found to honor the requi-
sition in due form of the Governor of
the State from which the person has fed
and to issue a warrant for the person

The political situation in Tennessee
is complicated. Evans, Republican, is
elected by seven hundred votes on the
face of the returns. and the Constitution
requires the presiding officer of a joint
convention of the Legislature to declare
that fact The LEGISLATURE which is
Democratic by small majority, will be
asked by Governor Turney's friends to
declare the Office vacant until the cleo
ton can be investigated, Turney hold

Turney must take action to Gust him, If
at ALL by legislative investigation. Evans
will. his friends claim. be sworn in and
proceed TO act as Governor, ignoring the
action of the Legislature. There may
be two Governors. and the United States
Court may be called upon to settle the
matter. Some of the Democratic lead

supporters.

DROUGHT SUFFERERS.
secretary Morton VIII Furnish Seeds
to Nebraska Farmers.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Secretary Nor
ton and Chief Clerk Maccuaig of the Agri-
cultural Department, both of whom are
Nebraska men, do not believe that the dis
tress in their and adjoining States
amounts to famine, although they recog-
nize that there is much suffering in that
section on account of short crops. Secre-
tary Morton is a pronounced opponent of
any exercise of paternalistic function by
the government, but he is doing all that
he can, consistently, through the depart
ment, to relieve the want existing in the
West. In a recent letter on the subject
Chief Clerk Maccuaig says: 1.-The depart
ment Is in receipt of several communica-
tons from representative people in the
West and also In the East asking aid
from this department to the seeding of the
Western farms in the spring In all cases
the writer's were informed that the de-
partment would be glad to send garden
all applicants from drought-stricken dis
tricts, to help them at least do little
gardening in the spring, and the Secre-
tary has kindly ordered his whole quota of
seed to be solely devoted to the Western
sufferers if lists of names and addresses
are sent to the department. The quantity
sent to each person must, necessarily, be
small, but the aggregate, amounting to
over two million papers of seeds judi

however, help them through the winter
months and ] have no doubt that the
phlanthropist will find a fruitful field for
charitable acts I'm this afflicted portion of
our common country.

THE DECLINE IN RAILROAD RATES.

From time to time statisticians have
presented figures showing the gradual
decline in the rates of transportation
charged by railroads. and while they
prove conclusively that in no branch of
industry has the fall in prices been more
marked, they do not so clearly put the
fact before the eyes of the average man
as the records kept by the railway re-
porter of the Journal since the close of
the war. These records show that the
cost of transporting a car of live stock
from Indianapolis to New York in 1866
was $3.50; in 1870 it was $500; in 1875, $S5.
1t stood at that figure until the inter-
state-conmerce law went into effect,
when rates were based upon tonnage
rather than car. which makes the pres
ent cost for transporting an ordinary
car of live stock from this city to New
. York SCI. This is decline of 65 Is per
cent; but percentages do not so clearly
set forth the decline the bare fact
that it costs but a fraction more to ship
three cars of live stock to New York
now than it did one in 1866. When the
quality of the service is considered the
comparison is all in favor of the present
time. During the last year for which
there are statistics the average freight
charge in the United States per ton per
mile was 97-100 of one cent. The Prus-
sian is the lowest freight rate in Europe,
and that is 1.32 cents per ton per mile.
This is where the government operates
the. railroads. Railroad experts who
have carefully computed the results of
the wide differences in rates have found
that if American roads had received.
