fluid which has been set to hauling the
street cars of America can be utilized
for the propulsion of ordinary vehicles
over ordinary roads and pavements. All
the businesses f have indicated will
have to be continued, however, and
horses must be had to carry them
on. The demand will be less than it
used to be, of course, but as the supply
viii be practically nonexistent it is
perfectly clear to me that the latter
will exceed the former, and that prices
must go up. I think it is safe to assert
that by 1900 horses will bring exceed
ingly high figures, for by that time the
present working stock of the country
will be practically worn out. In fact, ]
believe the United States will be ut
terIy unable to furnish its own horses
five years from now.
Since talking with this man have
heard the matter discussed by number
of others as conversant as he is with
the situation, and the general sentiment
seems to be that his view of the future
of the horse business is quite correct.
Down to the present, however, although
there has been slight advance of prices
beginning of this article, the business
is still stagnant, and half worn horses
are being killed for their hide, etc., in
great numbers in all the large cities. It
is very common thing to see a little
tug in the harbor of New York putting
its way toward the ocean towing a big
garbage scow a large part of whose load
consists of the carcasses of discarded
horses which few years ago would
have sold readily at from $40 to $50 a
head and would have been used for the
hauling of peddlers' wagons, the deliv-
cry wagons of the smaller groceries,
laundries, etc., instead of being sent to
dreary Barren island, there to be con-
verified into green hides, soap fat, fer
tilizing phosphate, plasterers' hair, pig
ments, raw material for buttons and
other articles of bone. There have been
stories from the west of surplus horses
being shot down upon the prairies Of
extensive breeding ranches and left
there to rot. From Indiana and other
central western states it has been tele-
graphed that horsehesh has been used
for food in quantities because of its ex-
ceeding cheapness Whether these things
are still gong on is not known TO the
writer, but if the views that have here
been quoted are correct the slaughter
of horses still fit for light work, simply
to get rid of them, will soon stop, and
it will not be very long that any horse
not wholly decrepit will be in danger
of being turned over to the bone boilers.
Quite interesting, in view Of the gen.
eral situation, are the facts with regard
to horses Of trotting blood of the better
grade and especially those which have

a Lawrence Man Says They Superintend
Better Than Board of Public Works.
A Lawrence man who was in Topeka
today has figured out that the regents of
the state university are better qualified
to erect the university buildings than the
state board of public works.
He says the same amount of money,
$4,000 each, was appropriated for the
construction of Snow hall and the new
physics building. The regents built
Snow hall and kept within their appro-
priation while the board of public works
ha d to have an additional appropriation
of $4,000 for the physics building
which when completed is not nearly so
good building.
1t is charged that in the physics build
ing construction the architect and super
intendent were allowed $4,700.

Others Come Here.


Others Come Here.
WASHINGTON, April 18.-The diplo-
matte correspondence between Russia
and the United States for the last year,
just published, relates largely to the con-
dition of the Israelites in Russia and
their immigration to the United States.
This began in May, 1898, when Secretary
Gresham telegraphed Minister White as
10 the edict against Jews, and which it
was supposed would result in a large
emigration of that people to the United
States.
Minister White in reply stated that
there was a tendency to greater rigor on
the part of the government in its treat
ment of the Jews AS to the laws, or
orders regarding these people, he said:
THE treatment of the Israelites,
whether good or evil, is not based entire
ly upon any one ukase or statute. There
are said to be In the vast jungle of the
laws of this empire more than one thou
sand DEGREES and statutes relating to
them, besides innumerable circulars,
open or secret regulations, restrictions,
extensions and temporary arrangements,
general, special and local, furnishing
such a tangled growth that probably no
human being can say what the law as a
whole is; least of all can a Jew, in any
province, have any certain knowledge of
his rights"
Another letter quotes from a German
paper. saying that it was determined to
send the best Jewish emigrants to Ar
gentina and the helpless were to be as
sisted TO the United States.
Another question was the right of
naturalized citizen of the United States
to relinquish his citizenship and become
q Russian citizen. MIR. Gresham says
this right is unQuestioned.
