WATSON TAKES A HAND.

Populist Vice Presidential Nominee Wants
 Ills Name Taken from the Kansas Fusion
 Ticket.
 THOMSON, Ga., Oct. 17.-Thomas E. Watson yesterday forwarded papers to Kansas notifying the secretary of state to take his name as nominee for vice president from the head of the Breiden- thai populist ticket. The necessary affidavit, in due form, authorizing the withdrawal from that ticket, accom- panied the other papers. Mir. Watson's name will appear only once on the official ballot in Kansas, and that will be at the head of the middle-of-the- road populist ticket. The withdrawal of Mir. Watson's name may leave the fusion wing in dilemma. They will probably have to insert the name of Sewall, the democratic nominee. or leave the vice presidential office blank on the ticket.

A Report from Washington That the vens-

xueian Dispute 10 Adjusted.
 CHICAGO, Oc. l7. - The Times. Herald prints the following dispatch from its Washington correspondent under the caption, Britain Has Yielded:" President Cleveland, in his next annual message to congress, will be able to state that definite under standing has been reached with Great Britain for the amicable settlement of the long-pending Venezuelan bound. ary dispute. After long and te. dious negotiations, definite un. derstanding has been reached on all the main questions, and the contro- versy will be settled by reference to a peaceful arbitration. There are de. tails to be perfected, but none of them are of such nature as to in the least endanger the prospects for the final disposition of the case and the restor. ation of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Venezuela during the term of President Cleveland. In. formation was gained last night that when Sir Julian Pauncefote shall nr. rive in this country he will come with such instructions as to leave no room for doubt that he and Secretary Olney will be able in very short time formally to reach a definite agreement for the final settlement of the dispute.

The aptitude and interest of the students under mil. itary instruction at military colleges was generally satisfactory.

REDUCED STOCK RATES.
Rio Grande Gets So Carloads OF North
Park Stock.

Competition for the North park cat
tie shipments between the Union Paci-
&c and the Rio GFande' has been so
brisk lately that the latter road last
Friday decided to make a big u in
rates to Omaha. The cut amounts to
over 20 per cent as compared with the
old price and by making 1t the Union
Pacific aims to bring back the big park
trade which has been gradually slip
ping away from 1t and going over to
the opposition road. Under the lev
order the price to Omaha for a 36-foot
car. with a capacity for "a head Of stock
will be $78.23 and the price for a car 80
feet long Is knocked down to $71.12.
The former charges on the 36-feet cars
were something over $50, thus it will
readily be seen that a material reduc-
ton has been made to local shippers.
It il stated that the primary cause
OF the cut is the fact that last week
arrangements were made by the own
ers to trail 81 cars of stock from North
park to the Rio Grande road. The I'm
ion Pacific officials became cognizant
Of the fact and as a result the reduction
n rates mentioned above followed.

William J. Sturgis of Cheyenne who
is in the city, offers a proposition to
owners of mines here that is of more
than usual interest.
Mr.. Sturgis is here for the purpose Of
trying to introduce at ~ mines, what
is known as the Burton Electric Smelt-
ing process, an invention for the saw
ing of minerals which is said to be I'M
elualed in the entire country.
The proposition made is that in the
event of local mine owners raising
81, 800 in cash the company represented
by Mr.. Sturgis will agree to put up the
machinery which constitutes the plant
and which cost SIC, 1000. The amount
asked is stated to he for the purpose OF
derfayiug the charges for transporta-
ton from Boston to the mines in this
vicinity. 1t may be added that the
mineral saver was exhibited at the
worlds fair and took first prize for gen
eral efficiency.
The company owning the machinery
is willing to begin operations, provided
local mine owners will invest 5000 in
the plant for which it is agreed to give
them a fifth interest at the start. The
balance of the cost of the plant, name
ly, $4,000. the owners are willing TO
take from the proceeds of the ores
treated and in case of failure of the
machinery to do its work in every in
stance the company is willing to sign
an agreement that they forfeit the en-
tire plant for the 81 500 paid for freight
charges. 1t is stated that the engines
and dynamo alone are valued at S10.-
900 and such being the ease the offer
appears one well worthy of considera-
ton.
1t is stated that the new invention is
now being used in eastern iron mines
with splendid results and it is further
stated that it can be worked on gold,
silver and lead ores so as to extract ev-
cry particle of any of the above named
minerals and at the same time separate
each.
An effort will be made by several
well known mining men to have a trial
made here of this valuable process OF
ore treatment.

LOW PRICES RULE.
Cattlemen Who Held Off Are Out of
Luck.

The outlook for a boom in the price
of cattle this fall is anything but
bright, according to the views of we'll
known ranchmen in this section.
Speaking about the poor condition of
the market at the present time one OF
the best posted men in the country last
night remarked:
Il cannot account for it but the
a difficult matter 10 give a reason for
the decline in prices. | don't know
whether it is to be attributed TO the
scarcity OF money or whether it is be
cause the masses, owning to the hard
times, are obliged to curtail expenses
when it comes to buying neat. l be-
lieye, myself, that to these two cause
combined is due the present depression.
Compared with the market at this
time last year." continued he, beef
cattle are lower by 80 cents a hundred,
which will figure about Sc per steer-no
small loss to the average ranchman. |
might add that hogs are fully 81 lower
than last year, but this, of course, cuts
no figure with the cattlemen of the
Laramie plains.
North park ranchmen have suffered
greatly from the come-down in prices.
There are today in the park about $500
head of beef cattle. These have been
fed all winter, but the owners have
been holding back for a better market,
believing that the price was bound to
go up. So far, their expectations have
failed to realize and on the contrary
things have been the everse After
holding back until every head of stock
has practically eaten its own head. as
the saying is, the owners are confront
ed with the hard fact that the market
right now is lower than on May /. 1t
is a hard deal but nevertheless true.

BRISK BUSINESS.
Things on the Union Pacific Commenc.
ing to Hum.

Business on the road has taken a
boom during the past few days.
There is no end to the business"
said Chief Dispatcher Duffy today.
More green fruit and stock are moving
than | ever heard of at this time Of the
year. Sheep shipments are also very
heavy"
Sunday IS ears were loaded out of
Ogden, 65 of which came from the Short
Line and constituted The biggest days
business from that road for the past
six months. For the past week east
bound freights have averaged from Is
to II cars of green fruit to each train.
There are now eight crews and IA
engines on the hill service and II crews
and q engines on the Sixth district.
The hill men are now doubling to meet
the rush and if it continues more crews
will have to be put on to fill require
ments. Yesterday a couple Of extra en-
gines were put in service, one On the
hill and one on the west end.
Saturday PIT loads and 16 empties
with a tonnage of 6,793, were pulled
over the hill, and yesterdays business
over the same district was over 5000
tons.
Officials look for an increased rush
rather than a falling off in business.
