competitor of the United States for con-
troll of the European cattle markets has
arisen in Australia. In special repofA
to the state department, U. s. Consul
Bell, at Sidney, gives much valuable in
formation as to present conditions pnd
future prospects of cattle rais''
country.
He shows that New South Wales and
Queensland, where the industry dourishes,
have about ten times as much land fit for
cattle feeding as the whole state of Iowa.
While much of this land is 80 scantily cup
piled with natural water as to greatly
limit live stock operations, the govern
ment has come to the rescue. Successful
experiments in artesian well boring
have vastly extended the possibilities of
the industry.
At present prices, cattle can be raised
in Queensland at a profit for the hides
alone. In that colony there are 100000
cattle and 100000 in New South Wales.
The people have nearly twenty head of
cattle per capita as against five-seven-
teenths of one head in the United States.
For several years there has been consider
able export business in frozen and pre-
served meats, but cattle raisers are reach
ing out for live stock trade and a number
of shipments have been made to Europe.
Fat cattle at export points are worth wi
per head, the freight Is $40, and the time
of the voyage to Europe is from forty-flve
to sixty days.
TEMPORARY TRANQUILITY IN TURKEY

retnry of the Navy Herbert last evening

irces of the recent events, have renewed
my demand for the effective protection OF
the missionaries"
CASE OF CAPT. ARMEs IN COURT.
The case Of Capt. George A. Armes, re-
tired, arrested some days ago by order OF
Lieut.. Gen. Schofeld, acting secretary oi
war, came up to-day before Judge Brad
ley.
The counsel for Gen. Schofeld asked
permission to file a return amendatory o1
the original return. This proposition
was combatted by Armes counsel, but the
court decided to allow the amended re-
turn to be filed sub ject to whatever actor
he might see fit to take later.
II was contended on behalf of Armef
that, as a retired officer of the army, M
was not under the jurisdiction OF Gen
Sohofeld as acting secretary OF war. IL
was, however, subject to certain rules ant
articles of war, but only such as applied
to his condition as a retired c.dcer. =
this condition it was contenced that h.
could not be arrested for disrespect to
superior officer for the reason that he ha'
no superior officer.
The original return, counsel said, dis
closed no cause for the arrest and the at
tempt had been made to remedy this de
feet by Offering an evasive and contradlc
tory return as an amendment. The fac
that no copy of the charges had been tur
nished Capt. Armes, it was asserted, wa
a fatal defect, as the regulations specific
ally state that copies of charges upo
which arrest is made must be Furnished
within twenty-four hours after the arres
or the accused must be released.
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ARMIES.
Chief Clerk Morrison, of the office
the acting Judge advocate general OF tn
army, replied in behalf of Gen. Schotiele
He maintained that Capt. Armes ls
member of the military establishment Q
the United States and has been proceede
against strictly according to the article
Of war. He contended that retired OF
ficers we're bject to the same regule
tions as those on the active list. AS t
giving information to Armes OF tn
charges against him, it was sufficient the
he had been informed of them With
eight days, the military differing fro'
civil practice In this matter. Armes ha
been bordinate. The court adjoufne
without any conclusion having bee
reached.
