COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Arid Lands In Montana and Elsewhere

Arid Lands In Montana and Elsewhere
to BE Settled Upon.
CHICAGO, April 12.-William E. Smythe,
chairman of the national irrigation COM
mittee, offered 5000. 900 acres OF land in
Utah, Montana and Washington for sale
at S12.50 an acre on cash or mortgage pay
ments from the platform of the First
Methodist church last night. The offer
was made on the authority of congress
and governors of the states in the terri
tory and interests of colonization scheme
which Mr.. Smythe is promoting. The
meeting aroused an enthusiasm which it
is hoped may result in the securing of
lands and homes for the 20 destitute
families IN Pullman and enough more
from the city to make up good sized
emigrating colony. The meeting was
called by the Homeseekers' association
which is composed largely of clergymen
of the city, but the audience showed that
the labor element was greatly interested.
Mr.. Smythe spoke briefly on the subjects
of the colonization movement. The iIsue,
he said, before the American people to-
day is the making of new homes on agri-
cultural lands. In reality 1t is the crea-
ton of q new civilization.
In brief he explained the Carey law, by
WHICH uNe Ol tuo NcotcEu otaACS naso bct
aside 1000 900 acres of arid land each for
the purpose of irrigation and cultivation.
These lands are to be disposed of at low
rates and every inducement is offered
those who are willing to endure the brunt
of hard work for q few years. 1t is the
intention to establish colonies. Those
who go from Chicago in the first colony
will compose the colony of Plymouth. in
the Payette valley. Idaho. and the start
will be made in August.
Continuing, the speaker said: "For
many reasons Brigham Young deserves to
be ranked among the greatest of Ameri-
cans. He founded a great common
wealth rather than a church. Irrigation
was with him discovery and he erasped
its possibilities. He saw 1t was practically
an insurance policy on crops. and made
possible the growing on a single farm OF
nearly everything family needs"

himself that he had resigned at the re-
quest of Land Commissioner Phipps- He
did not seem to feel badly about the mat
ter then, but IL is certain he felt generally
that the removal showed lack Of appre-
citation of hts services. He was president
of the Yakima Investment company,
owner of the great Sunny Side canal In
Yakima county, with assets OF over
81 .0o0, 900. and president of the Tacoma
Railway d Motor company, owner OF two
thirds of the street railway system hsre-
Both companies are in receivers' hands
and he was one OF the receivers OF the
former company. The financial dimcui-
ties of that company had caused him
much trouble.

Madge York Came to Her Dsath by
Gun shot Wound,
PHILADKIPHIA. April i2.-Deputy Coro-
ner Duean, at noon to-day, began an ofii-
cial inquiry into the death of Margaret
winifred Drysdale (Madae Yorke), the
young actress who was shot and killed by
actor James b. Gentry, on the night of
Feb. IL last. The delay In holding the
inquest was caused by Gentry's illness in
consequence Of injuries sustained by him
in his leap from the rear fire escape OF the
hotel, and his subsequent attempt to COM
init suicide. The only eye witness to the
crime, Miss Lydia Clarke OF the baggage
Check" company. was not present, but
her deposition, already published, was
read. Gentry's sallow face was pale and
haggard and his deep black hair fell in n
mass over his brow. Tho events preced-
ing and following the crime were told by
a number of witnesses. Detective Craw-
ford said the pistol used by Gentry be-
longed to q member Of the "Hoss and
Hoss" company named Heckert.
The deposition of Charles Edward
Magee was read. He said he was % years
old has known Gentry for 10 years and
met Miss Drysdale, for the frat time, last
January. He was introduced to her by
Gentry rs his betrothed. They never had
any words about her. IL was Magee's
opinion that Gentry had been "guyed"
about Madge by his ''alleged friends
until he had become frenzied. Under ad-
vice of his counsel. Gentry did not testify.
The jury rendered verdict that "Marga-
ret w. Drysdalc came to her death by gun
shot wounds received at the hands Of
James B. Gentry"

sILvERITEs AND POPS N. G.
This Railroader Believes II His
Duty to inform the Public Of
impending Disaster In the
Financial World.

New YORK, April IA special dispatch
to q morning paper from Washington
says: Secretary Morton OF the agricul-
tural department recently sent o note OF
thanks to j. r. Buchanan. general passcn-
ger agent Of the Fremont, Elkhorn d Mis-
souri, Valley railroad, stationed in Omaha.
Buchanan responded in another letter
suggesting that in Cleveland's nomination
for third term rests the chief salvation
of the country from the silver erase.
Secretary Morton sent the letter contain
ing this suggestion to John Dewitt War.
ner of New York, n leading light of the
reform club. Morton's letter to Warner
reads:
WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 81. 1895.
To Hon. John DeWM Warner:
My Dear Mr.. Warner:-The enclosed letter
from j. r. Buchanan general passenger agent
OF the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail-
road of Omaha, may be of interest to you. My
object In sending you this letter OF Buchanan's
is to give you thorough-going business mans
views OF the situation. The letter shows how
fallacies flourish among the financiers OF the
West and south. The letter also points out
the necessity Of Immediate coherent and organ
lied action In behalf OF sound money. very
truly yours, j. STERLING MORTON.
The conclusion of Buchanan's letter to
Secretary Morton is as follows:
My Judgment In the present outlook Is that
the eastern conservatives OF both parties are
III ely to unite and possibly renominate Cleve-
land. who will carry the East and South, no
doubt; the East on his able, honest conservat-
ism. and the South because they could never
vote otherwise than the democratic ticket. thus
ensuring vote which would elect; and the
West viii undoubtedly support the populists or
free silverites unless there is great change. III
this is not done / feel the election will be
thrown into the house as the result OF three
tickets being in the field. in which case the bal
ance Of power would be with the free silver In
terest. believe II a vote were taken to-day on
the naked question of a i6 TO l silver platform
Nebraska would give 1t a majority OF $1,000
These suggestions are for what Information you
may be able to CLEAN from them. 1 believe the
situation is critical and OF importance. Yours
truly, j. X. BUCHANAN.

DISEASED CATTLE.

81. Paul and Minnesota Rise to object
to Certain Practices.
Special Dispatch to the standard.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. April 12.-The Pioneer
Press, in an article calling on the legisla-
ture to pass n meat inspection law, says /:
"When IL il stated that over 10000 head
of cattle and more than 10000 sheep
which annually pass through these cities
are unloaded and fed here and thon for
warded, at least the healthy ones, to the
Chicago market, while the diseased are
thrown upon our local markets, ID will at
once be seen that a rigorous system of In
spcction is of vast importance to our peo-
pie, both In its sanitary and commercial
aspects. Chicago, be it understood, Is un-
der stringent United States inspection
law. and all wounded or diseased animals
are promptly condemned there on their
arrival, and are not permitted to be
slaughtered for human food. So that the
cattle dealers from Montana and else
where take good care not to ship such
stock 10 Chicago, but to dispose of them
here. so st. Paul and Minneapolis become
the dumping ground for all the diseased
refuse Of the herds passing through them.
So open are the facilities for unloading on
these two cities this class of live stock
that il has become n practice for cattle
dealers TO GO to Montana. buy up for a
song the lumpy jaw cattle which were
cullcd from the ranges and ship them tc
ST. Paul TO be slaughtered. These com.
munisies are clearly entitled to protection
from this inundation of the local market
with diseased cattle"
The house to-day By an unanimous vote
recommended the Mekenney meat in.
spection bill for passage.

NEW YORK, April 12.-R. G. Dun & Co. 5
Weekly Reuietc Of Trade. which issues to-mor-
row. will say; Progress toward better business
continues, but IL is slow and amid many OBJ
stacles. In speculative aspects and IN whole
sale demand for goods the week shows Inn
proyement. Money markets are undisturbed
and little more active. But among the CHIEF
obstacles is the anxiety OF operatives TO secure
better wages, even while many manufacturing
works are running without profit and others at
a risk of loss. Retail trade has improved on
the whole since Mar III, as the approach OF Eas-
ter brings more business, but distribution TO in
diyidual consumers still lags behind purchases
of jobbers and such demand for products as
springs for building and other investments
looking into the future.
Crop prospects will greatly affect the course
OF trade for some months and the gov
ernment report had little influence to dis
courage. For consumers the worst featu re n
the rapid advance in meats. Decrease In re-
ceipts of cattle are exaggerated. $50 ,406 having
arrived at Chicago against 7Ss.543 to date last
year, and the prevalent opinion is that western
packers are helping nature to some extent. The
output of pig iron April !. was 1882 tons
weekly practically the same as March I, with
decrease Of 1,0s0 tons in unsold stock during the
month. Bessemer iron has advanced little
further to slo.7 at Pittsburg. but there is no
change whatever In prices OF finished products
during the week and while the demand con-
tinues good for structural forms and little
better for bars, the marked decrease In demand
for wire. owing to the scant purchases OF farm
ers for fencing. effects the outlook.
Sales OF wool are particularly interesting,
amounting for the week to 6,030. 200 pounds and
for FIVE weeks previous to 25.62i. 200. against 25.-
277 ,s76 in the weeks of 1892 In brief. sales are
close to the quantity required for full consump-
ton and the long delay In placing orders and
the lateness OF the season make the proportion
of mills at work larger than usual. No improve.
ment In prices appears and domestic wool does
not respond to recent advances in foreign mar
kets. The low price encourages manufac-
turers to compete much more vigorously with
the foreign goods OF many kinds than they had
expected and for the medium and cheaper
grades OF goods they have more than the usual
demand, because purchases Of consumers have
for two years been comparatively slim. Failures
for the week were 207, against 2ls last year.
