CATTLEMEN NOT BANDED,
The Omaha Exchange Gen.
sures Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton.
BY HIS Erroneous Ideas He Has
Greatly Injured the Stock
Interests.

OMAHA, NEBR., April 23.-The Omaha
Livestock Exchange to-day censured Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Morton for his errone-
Gus ideas at present working to the great
detriment of the cattle interests Of the
country in creating a wrong impression as
to the relative cost of cattle and beef.
After reciting the manner of his investi-
CATION, this resolution was adopted:
Resolred, That we, the members of the South
Onsha Livestock Exchange, call the attention
Of the honorable Secretary of Agriculture and
the country at large to the fact that during the
first three months OF the present year cattle re-
ceipts al Chicago, with full corn crop in Illi-
nOis, Indiana and adjacent territory, fell off II
per cent as against 1894; Kansas City's receipts
fell of Is per cent, Notwithstanding big in
crease in Texas shipments, and Omaha, in the
very heart OF the drought-stricken country,
fell Off 80 per cent. On account Of this
shortage cattle prices advanced from 81 to
81 per hundred as compared with a year ago,
and the higher prices for beef naturally fol-
lowed. With the higher prices for beef and
the press agitation on this subject consump-
ton fell of and cattle values declined in conse-
quence. We regard the present depression in
cattle values however, as only temporary, as
the indications are that the next three months
OF this year viii witness a further reduction in
the available cattle supply OF iuIiy 90 per cent
We are satisfied that there can be no combine
possible among the beef-paekers on occount OF
the increased number of buyers in all the lead
ing markets and the diversified interests repre-
sented by them.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-Secre-
tary Morton was shown the resolutions
adopted by the st. Louis Livestock Ex-
change yesterday deprecating the agitation
about the alleged packers combine and
attributing the reductions in the price of
live cattle of 16 cents hundred in the last
two weeks to such agitation. He said the
statement of the st. Louis Livestock Ex-
change would lead to the belief that the
alleged combine of dressed beef concerns
existed.
"If the agitation. as they term it," said
he, ''has caused a decline in the price of
cattle on the hoof, why is it a similar
calamity has not occurred in the price of
dressed beef? 1t remains the same and in
some cases is even higher. Their own
statement coupled with the prices of
dressed beef answers their complaint"

RUSSIA IN THE LEAD.
Protests Against Japan Annex

FRANCE AND GERMANY NEXT
England Will Not Join Any Combl-
nation to Interfere With the
Spells of Victory.

LONDON, Eng, April 23.-The Stand
ards Berlin correspondent telegraphs:
The action of France, Russia and Germany
has not yet exceeded friendly, but ener-
getic protest against the japanese annex
ing any part of the Chinese mainland.
hear that the Russian Minister at Picking
has already been instructed to negotiate
with the Chinese foreign officials regarding
the cession of the Chinese territory which
Russia demands in compensation for the
japanese acquirings. China, being unable
to reject Russia's demands, hopes to con-
fine them to the cession of a portion of
Manchuria and an ice free port.
The Daily News says it understands that
the Government will not join any combi-
nation of the powers to interfere with the
results of the japanese victory. The Min
listers were willing and anxious to avert
the war, but they do not consider that
British interests are injuriously affected by
the terms of peace.
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, April %
The Svet declares that Russia has con-
centrated in japanese waters twenty two
warships, carrying $50 guns and large
body of men. This feet, it is added, with
the French squadron, makes q total of
thirty-seven warships, carrying 61O guns.
Moreover, according to the paper, a Rus
sian army of 10000 men could occupy
Jesse and take Japan in the flank should
trouble arise.
YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, April 23.-It is
officially denied that the Chinese customs,
by the terms of the treaty of peace with
Japan, are placed under japanese control.
The stipulation says that on the pay
ment OF the first two installments OF in
demnity to be paid by China, Wei-Hai- w Ell
might be evacuated, provided China
pledges her customs revenue in order to
secure the payment of the balance due.
This, it is added, is optional, and might
never take effect. At present there is no
intention OF touching the customs revenues
of China, much less placing them under
the control of Japan.

WILL NICARAGUA YIELD =?
May Offer Passive Resistance
and Await This Coun-
try'S Action.
CLEVELAND's CABINET TO ACT.
This Is an Opportunity for Testing
the Administration on the
Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-The
gram from his Government announcing
the arrival at Corinto of two British war
ships with the expressed purpose of en-
forcing the demands contained in the
British ultimatum. Just how this is to be
done the Minister was not informed.
The indications now are that Nicaragua
will offer passive resistance to the British
demands for some time at least, and mean
while the United States will do nothing
but await the developments of events, I'M
less the British take some action that az
fects our interests, such as interfering with
our shipping or other interests of Ameri-
can citizens. This attitude is assumed in
the full confidence that no attempt viii be
made by the British to secure any Nicara-
qua territory, no matter what course
she may be obliged to pursue to accom-
plish her purpose of collecting the "smart
money" demanded for the expulsion OF
Vice-Consul Hatch.
There is reason to believe not only the
Nicaraguan affair but the whole subject of
the extent of the protection to be ex-
tended by the United States TO the sister
republics of Central and South America
has been very earnestly and deliberately
discussed by the President with his full
Cabinet, and that the attitude as assumed
in the case of Nicaragua may be taken as
an indication of the line of policy 10 be
adopted for the treatment OF all questions
arising between the European powers and
those republics having such a basis as the
present Nicaraguan incident.

NOW has THE RIGHT.
Japan May Make Tariffs on United
States Goods.


WASHINGTON, D. c., April %. =
Japan's right to frame her own tariff rates
on United States goods has now accrued
under the terms of the new Japanese treaty
with the United States, thirty days having
expired since the exchange OF ratifications.
Minister kurino of Japan says, however,
that while the subject of a general tariff
law has been considered in the japanese
Diet, he has not yet been informed of the
enactment OF law. Under these circum-
stances, the Japan rate on United States
goods will remain at 5 per cent ad valorem
until the act is passed.
From other official sources it is learned
that new tariff law is not likely to be
passed until Japan has concluded all her
new treaties with European powers. 1t is
stated that the new tariff will not be on the
line of high protective policy, but will be
a revenue tariff. While Japan has many
infant industries, it is said they are making
phenomenal advancement. When the
new tariff is framed it is understood that
its most important features referring to
the United States are likely to be as fol-
lows:
Kerosene oil, which is now the largest
item of United States export to Japan, will
probably remain at per cent ad valorem.
Flour, breadstuffs, canned goods and other
domestic necessities will either remain at
3 per cent or be scaled down, as the Japan
csc policy is to cheaper the necessaries of
life. Raw cotton, which is the third item
of export, being sent in great quantities
from the Southern States to Japan, is likely
to go on the free list. Japan is anxious
to get raw material for her fiourishing
cotton factories, which are turning out
product which completes, it is claimed,
with the best cottons of the world. 1t is
said that the freight rates to Japan are an
other factor which protects her industries.

FOUND ON Il sANDBAR.
The Mutilated Remains of a Man Who
Was Murdered.

KANSAS CITY, April pa special to
the times from Richmond, Mo-, says:
On sandbar in the Missouri River, near
Camden, within 200 yards of where DR..
William f. Fraker is supposed to have
been drowned two years ago, William
Ming and John Bell found in barrel the
mutilated remains of a man. The head
and legs had been severed from the trunk
and one foot had been cut off.
The CHASTITY find was brought to the Ray
County shore and an inquest held on it by
Coroner Dove. There were no marks or
papers by which the body could be identi-
fed, and it was buried on the river bank.
Some speculation as to whether the
body might not be that of the missing
doctor was INDUCED in, many theories as
to the preservation of the body during
the two years the doctor has been missing
being put forth. But little stock is taken
in the theory, however.
1t will be remembered the doctor carried
s3S 900 life insurance in different companies
and that his relatives had to bring suit to
receive payment of the policies, the COM
panies claiming the doctor was not dead.

CANCELLED THEIR PATENT,
Judge Taft Decides a Noted
Case Against the
Defendants.
The Cowles Company PerpetualIy
Enjoined From Using a Sep
aratlng Process.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, April 22-An opin-
ion has been handed down by United
States Circuit Judge Taft which decides a
famous patent case which has been in
court for q number OF years and which has
excited great deal OF interest. The suit
was brought by Francis Lowery, executor
of the estate OF Grosvenor P. Lowery,
against the Cowles Electric Smelling and
Aluminium Company and A. T. Osborne.
The defendants claimed that they had
the right to two patents by assignment
from Charles Bradley for process of sep
arating metals, particularly aluminium,
from their ores by the use of an electric
current, both to fuse and electroize the
ores. They claimed that they came into
possession of the patents by virtue of a
sale to A. T. Osborne who was said TO have
assigned the right to the Cowles Electric
Smelling and Aluminium Company.
The plaintiffs, on the other hand, claimed
that Bradley sold and assigned the patent
right TO them, and that they held letters
patent at the Department of Patents in
Washington. The Cowles people also held
letters patented, and the suit was to deter
mine which party was guilty OF infringe
ment.
Judge Taft, in voluminous opinion,
covering over fifty pages of typewriter
matter, held that the defendants had in
fringed and were not entitled to letters Of
patent. He granted the plaintiffs per
petual injunction restraining the defend.
ants from using the patent rights, and or
dered the letters OF patent held by the
Cowles people cancelled and declared void

WALTERS WORK AS A SPY.
BY Means of Waving CoIored Lam
terms at Night the Movements
of the French Made Known.

PARIS, FRANCE, April 23.-OficiaI dis
patches from Madagascar say the Hovas
have gathered large forces along the main
routes from Tamatave and Moiunga.
Throughout the island posts with several
hundred men stationed at each have been
established.
A French gunboat has assembled the
river Betsiboka and silenced a Hova bat
terry at Mahabe. The enemy was driven
out with loss Of eight killed.
Two cannon were captured. The popu-
lation of the village gathered around the
tombs of the chiefs in order to defend
them, but on finding that the French re-
spected the graves they yielded and asked
protection from the Hovas, who had an
other camp of 5000 men at MADAME, on
the other side Of the river.
General Metzinger, with four companies
of infantry and artillery. attacked MADAME
on April and routed the enemy, killing
100 and wounding many. The French loss
was 80 wounded.
The Soir states that ex-American Consul
John L. Waller, who was brought from
Madagascar TO Marseil1es under arrest,
acted as the medium between the Hovas
and the English for the conveyance of
orders for munitions and arms.
When France declared war against the
Hovas, Waller, according to the Soir,
acted as spy at Moiunga, and by means
of waving colored lanterns at night ad-
vised the Hovas of the movements of the
French. This once nearly resulted in 600
French troops falling into the hands Of the

HAD A TEMPTING CARD,
Boxing Bouts at the Scottish
American Athletic
Club.
But a Knockout Blow Was De-
llvered and the Police Took
a Hand.

JERSEY CITY, y. J., April 23.-The
Scottish-American Athletic Club provided
very tempting card tonight for the box
ing show, putting up their three best men,
Steve Bloom, Tom Gaffney and Eddy
Cornell, against Jim Holmes, George Sid
dons and Dave O'Connor respectively. The
bouts were to be six rounds each. The first
bout was declared draw.
George Siddons of New Orleans and Tom
Gaffney then climbed the ropes. Siddons
was much the cleverer, doing good work in
the third.
In round Siddons led, the fighting be-
ing lively. A right-hand blow on the head
staggered Gaffney and he almost fell.
Siddons opened the last round with his
left on the face. Gaffney was not idle and
he landed right and left on the jaw and
neck, following it up with singing left
on the chest.
They went at each other hard and kept
ii up until the keeper rang his bell. Referee
Early declared it draw.
The police inte-fered in the third bout,
after 0'Connor had delivered knockout
blow to his opponent, and no decision was
rendered

MRS. MACK,s ExTBADITIoN.
A Clear Case Made Out against One
Stamp SIrindler.


Stamp StrindIer.
HAMILTON. ON, April 23.-The case
against Mrs. Mack, whose extradition is
asked for in connection with the counter
felt stamp swindle, was resumed to-day.
The United States Attorney from New
York was presented, also the Chief of the
Secret Service Bureau at Washington.
On the evidence of Arthur Fish OF this
city, who was taken to Chicago to identity
Morrison, and by the testimony of Captain
Porter and Charles FELTON,, of Chicago, and
others, it was shown that Mrs. Mack, the
woman under arrest, and Mrs. Mcmillan OF
% Carroll street, Chicago, are one and the
same. Also that George Morrison is C. o..
Jones OF Chicago.
The testimony of these and other wit
nesses showed that an engraving outfit,
such as would be used for counterfeiting
stamps, gummed paper, perforating
machine, etc., were discovered in small
room in Mrs. McMillan's residence in
Chicago; that Morrison, alias Jones, and
three other men were there constantly at
work for weeks, and that the prisoners dis
appeared from there month ago.
The express office clerks from Buffalo
positively identified the prisoner as the
woman who sent the package OF counter
felt stamps to firms in Chicago, and one of
the parties in that city who were duped
by them told of his communications with
the Hamilton concern. Two of the wit
nesses described how Mrs. Mcmillan ar
rived here on April 8 under the name of
Mack and met Morrison as if they were
perfect strangers.
This closed the case for the crown and
Mr.. Nesbitt, Q. c., for the defense, asked
for an adjournment until Thursday to de-
eide if ne will offer any evidence for the
prisoner. Mr.. Greer, for the crown, argued
that prima-facie was all that was neces-
sary and the defense could not call evil
dence, except to let the prisoner go into
the box. Decision was reserved.
