Market.
WASHINGTON, April e6.--Secretary
Morton says he has information that
5000 head OF cattle will leave Mexico
for the Kansas City market within two
days. lie also says that advices indi-
cate that very soon cattle will COM
mence to come In by the thousands from
that country. He has information In
dicating that In the eastern part Of the
Indian territory cattle are in fairly
good condition, but that in the western
part and In Oklahoma cattle are scarce,
owing to natural causes. This infor-
nation corresponds with that from
many other sections Of the country and
he says that an increase in the price oil
cattle might be expected by reason Of
the scarcity, and he is reasonably
certain that there Is no combination
Of cattle raisers and large ranchmen.
At the same time, however, he believes
that many Of the ranchmen and cattle
owners are holding back their cattle
from the market, believing that the
market will 60 higher. This he looks
upon as an individual matter, and has
no reason to interfere with 1t.

rolling clerk OF the senate, 7sO bills
and Joint resolutions became laws dur
ing the third session of the Fifty.thrd

527 Of It's own bills, but only 2S9 OF
these received favorable action In the
house, while Of the III house bills
which passed the house $50 also passed
the senate. The president vetoed or
failed to sign twenty-four OF the SEN

this statement that less than 9 per
cent. Of the bills introduced during the

TICKETS GOOD FOR JULY.
RETURN TRIP ON CHRISTIAN EN-

NOT EXTENDED.
A MEETING AT MINNEToNKA.
Members of the Western Freight
Association to Hold "a Con-
ference Next Week.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Boston
Terminal today took a hand in the
hght over the arrangements for the
Christian Endeavor convention and
the result is such as to give the 500
line, and all others who have been
promising longtime return limits on
all their tickets, a very black eye.
The Boston lines decided, at a spe-
c1al meeting, that the time limits for
Christian Endeavor and Christian
union tickets will be strictly en-
forced, regardless of any printed or
promised conditions made by con-
Meeting lines to the contrary. Round
trip tickets for these conventions
will only be accepted by the terminal
lines for the going passage from
July to IL inclusive, and the re-
turn portions will be accepted
only from July IL to 81 inclusive.
+ Tickets presented to the terminal
lines contrary to these dates will not
be accepted. There is no way that
the 500 line, and the others who have
been promising return limits on
Sept. Is, can get around this thing if
the terminal lines adhere to their
resolution, as there is no doubt they
will do. All they can do is to make
the tickets good for the return over
their own lines and protect the pas
senger for the amount of the fare
over the terminal lines. Few of
REDUCED FOR TOURISTS.
A reduction in the summer tourist
rate from Chicago to Pittsburg has
been made by the Baltimore & Ohio
and Pennsylvania roads, and a
proposition has been made to the
Western lines to accept the new rate
for basing purposes. The reduction
is from $20.50 to SIS.
A call has been issued by Chair
man Midgley, of the Western
Freight association, for general
meeting of the association to be held
at Lake Minnetonka beginning July
9. Among other matters to be con-
sidered is the proposition that the
classification committee be composed
of the committee of the Western
Freight and other associations. The
bulk of the matters to come up for
consideration are of a purely routine
nature. A meeting of the Western
and Northwestern lines will be held
Immediately after the conclusion OF
the general meeting.
The Michigan Central and Indiana
State Line roads and the Union
Stock Yards company have with
drawn their suits against the city for
damages sustained during the great
strike of year ago, and there is
probability that several other roads
will follow their examples.
