Scarcity of Cattle.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Apri! 19.-Dr. Sal.
mon, chief of the bureau of animal industry,
said there was IN undoubted scarcity OF
cattle in the west, sufficient to account in
part for the increased price of dressed beef.
The only question:" said he, ''is VIII Their
:hs scarcity Is sufficient to account for 1t
altogether, or whether the few big men who
control the beef market have not to cer-
tain extent anticipated the effect of this
scarcity: in other words, whether the effect
has not come before the cause. What VIC
are anxious to know is whether the price OF
cattle ha 8 gone up in proportion to the
price of beef. Mexican cattle have been
looked upon with disfavor for the reason
that Texas fever is known to exist upon the
other side of the border, aud a quarantine
has been kept up during the summer. The
action of packers raising the price OF beet
resulted in the department raising the Mex
lean embargo. The department has its
corps of inspectors. and all incoming cattle
will be rigidiy examined. Furthermore the
Mexican cattle seem TO be in an unusually
good condition this year."

they were appointed, provision of the con-
stitution makes any one voting to create an
office or who votes to raise the pay OF any
Office from holding the position thus in
fiuen ced by his vote, either in the house or
senate. 1t is known that KigOre worked
hard for the territory court bill passed. in
order to prepare a place to get into when
he was forced out of congress. and it is also
known that Mr.. Springer took considerable
interest in the matter and voted. 1t Is said
this point will be made against both when
the matter of confirmation comes up and II
they are turned down and the comptroller
does not change his opinion. neither can re-
ceive pay for services except by speci u act
of congress. Judge Springer is to make an
argument before the comm, roller in opposi-
ton to that officials ruling that judges can
not draw their pay until they are confirmed
by the senate.

What England VIII Do.


WARRINGTON. D. c.. April 19.-British in
structions in the Nicaraguan matter are b.
lievs to be on the following lines:
First-There shall be no exercise Of force
which will affect the commerce or the inter-
est of the United States or her citizens, OF
those of other foreign countries.
Second-The exercise of force shall be
confined to the execution of a passive block.
ade of Nicaragua ports, according to the
esta bished rules for the naneuver.
The passive blockade is desi9 to cripple
the international commerce OF Nicaragua.
and yet leave all the foreign commerce to
proceed as usual. 1t does not contemplate
any overt act or any seizure or detention OF
property. But the warships bring to a
standstill the local or coastwise trade and
keep it thus paralyzed until satisfactory
r. sponse is given.
The merchant ships of the United States
and other countries would be free to come
and 90. and care will be taken that no cause
should be- given for United States interven-
ton on the ground that tho Unit d States
