Mortgages, Etc.
WASHINGTON, November 17.--In the
forthcoming annual report Of the Sec
retary of Agriculture, which is being
printed, much space is devoted to dis
cussing the opportunities for Ameri-
can meat products in foreign markets.
Of BAL 900 tons Of meat received at the
London central market in 1894, II 900
tons were American, while nearly 50,-
600 tons came from Australia. The
American proportion has not been
maintained during 1895.
In the imports of live cattle to Great
Britain the United States and Canada
had a practical monopoly until the two
last years. Since 1893 Argentina's
--shipmants have greatly increased; dur
ing the first eight months Of the year
the shipments amounted to over 25, 900
head. Although the meat of the South
American cattle is not as salable as the
American, the business is profitable
and likely to increase, American cattle
sell, though slaughtered soon after
landing, at prices equal to the average
paid for British carcasses.
The export of American horses to
Great Britain has increased steadily,
having more than doubled since 1893,
amounting in the first eight months of
1895 to 22,755 head, valued at nearly
$3,000,0O0. American geldings aver
aged this year in the English market
$155. A rigid inspection of horses for
export will be undertaken.
The foreign trade in dairy products
is carefully reviewed. In cheese the
United States, while large shipper to
British markets, holds the conspicu-
ously unAattering place in the extreme
rear as to quality and price, and as the
only one Of the competitors for this
trade whose business shows a serious
railing OH.
In butter, the United States is out of
the race, supplying less than l per
cent. of the British demand for foreign
buffers, notwithstanding the fact that
Great Britain imported in eight months
$4,000, 600 worth of butter. Referring
to our standing in the foreign dairy
market, the Secretary warns shippers
Of the consequence of their methods,
adding: "We have here graphic illus.
tration of the disastrous effects in all
trade of disregarding the tastes of con-
sumers and of acquiring bad reputa-
tion."
The Secretary says the crop report
ing work is the subject of constant
criticism. AS at present organized it
can hardly fail to be otherwise, though
more satisfactory at present than at
any previous time.
The Secretary thinks the duty of re.
porting the acreage Of staple crops In

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 23.-William A. Pax
ton has received q letter from Mac Stuart,
who for a number OF years was foreman for
Mr.. Paxton ON the Keystone ranch, near

Stuart is under sentence TO be shot, and
implored his old employer to interest the
United States authorities in his behalf, as
his trial had been railroaded through the
Mexican courts and Justice had not been

Stuart says that several months ago he
was passing through one of the narrow
streets of Hidalgo del Parrell, when he
was suddenly accosted by q policeman
He did not pay much attention TO the Of
ficcr's command to stop at first. but contin-
ued to walk forward. When he glar up
a second time the man was scarcely six feet
from him. and was in the act of pulling the
trigger OF a revolver aimed at his heart.
Stuart pulled his siS-shooter and killed
the policeman.

After being imprisoned for many months,
Stuart says he was at length brought before

sentenced to be shot in the early part of

On these grounds, therefore. Stuart is
anxious that he may be placed in court
where he may be allowed to plead self-de-

Mexican laws. Mr.. Paxton has written to

WAS REFUSED A new TRIAL
Matthew Spruell's Murderer to Be
Sentenced Monday Next.
Judge Cole Holds That He Was Too
Lcnient in Dealing With Harris
at the Trial

John, alias PATSY" Harris. the coiored
murderer of Matthew Spruell, also colored,
in Georgetown, on July 4Iast, was refused
new trial by Judge Cole, in criminal court,
division No. 1, this morning, and on next
Monday morning he will be sentenced TO be
hanged.
Harris was defended by Messrs. R. C.
Thompson and C. L. Frailey. They viii
quite probably move to carry the case to
the court Of appeals on a writ of error
after sentence is passed.
Judge Cole this morning expressed his
willingness to grant the privilege.
Harris case has a distinctive feature in
the annals OF criminal Jurisprudence, and,
as Judge Cole said, there had been some
secret malice or strife lurking In Harris
bosom. or else he was what the law de-
moral obligations.
II feel that my instructions were cor

physical violence or opprobrious language.
