of market for hogs and feeders, such as
has heretofore existed in South ST. Paul, is
comparatively easy matter, but market
for hogs and feeders alone is not live stock
market.
Rich men, by an expenditure of their
money, may build stockyards and packing
houses, but the establishment of live stock
market as my good friend, Capt. Blakeley,
would say, "is a different part of speech.
To establish live stock market rot only
takes money, but losses, and in addition 1t
takes time.
Besides the considerable investment at
South st, Paul, it has consumed ten years
of time and more direct loss than l would
be willing to make public, to build. up such
limited market has existed for hogs
and feeders, but 1 have never regarded 1t as
live stock market, until the location OF

In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say, that
Minnesota is rich in her forests, which are
iron ore. The silver and gold mines Of Mon
tana, and the cattle and sheep industries
of the ranges of Dakota and Montana are
valuable adjuncts to the jobbing trade of this
city But the substantial foundation Of your
trade and of the wealth Of this state is IN Its
agriculture.

TAMMANY OBJECTS TO MIR. HARRISON.
Welcome OF Chicagos rlayor in New York
Is Somewhat Uncertain
Platt rlachine Ignored by Those Who Favor the
Election of Seth Low.

NEW YORK, Oct, PA great DEM
orstration in favor of Seth Lows can
didacy for mayor took place in Car
negie hall tonight. A tremendous
throng, that filed every seat in the pit,
crowded the boxes, and from thence
swept up to the topmost row of the
big gallery, was present. Even the
stage was uncomfortably crowded, the
benches that rose tier-like from the
lectern being jammed The most re-
markable feature of the meeting was
the fact that it was not billed as "Citi-
zens," but as Republican meeting,
Republican organization (anti-Platt) Of
the city of New York
About one-third Of the audience was
composed of women. Enthusiasm fair
ly bubbled over, and when the familiar
features of Mayor Strong appeared at
the bottom of the stairway leading to
the stage, the whole house stood up
and cheered. Immediately behind the
mayor cam the familiar features of
Seth Low. The first glimpse of the
candidate set the house wild. The wo-
men scrambled up into their seats and
waved their handkerchiefs and fairly
shrieked with delight The enthusi-
asm verged close to the point of the
indescribable when Mayor Strong, the
candidate. Gen. Wager Swayne, Joseph
N Choate, Elihu Root and Gen. Anson
M. Cook stood in the center of the
stage. The mayor was absolutely de-
lighted and waved his handkerchief
back at the crowd which cheered him.
Then the crowd turned to Mr.. Low,
and gave him a grand ovation.
In calling the meeting to order the
chairman addressed the audience as
Fellow Republicans" and this evoked
cheers. Mayor Strong was intro
duced. He began by declaring that
the real; genuine Republicans" of
New York, were supporting Seth Low,
and then quoted Secretary Of the In
terror Bliss bitter criticism of Senator
Plat a few years ago. Mayor Strong
pointed out that in 1894 there were
several important speakers suggested
for doing campaign work in New York
and he told the managers of the cam
paign that he did not want any for
eigners at all. He believed in letting
the people of New York fight it out
and discuss it among themselves.
Mayor Strong then told of the good
accomplished by the present admins
tration.
Gen. Wager Swayne was the next

union. His subject was How to Hog
1t by a Good Steerer," or, in other
words, the live stock industry. Speak
ing generally Mr.. Stickney said:
will give you 'steerer'' to begin with.
An agricultural district will never reach its
highest degree of prosperity until the four
legged hogs exceed in number the two-legged
hogs. 1t is a curious fact in the settlement
and development of a new country, that the
two-legged species always come hrst. Ine
four-legged hogs follow the establishment OF
a market while the two-legged kind thrive,
regardless of markets.
1t is no easy matter to introduce to the
farmers in newly settled country, the IN
dustry of raising hogs-but when 1t Is lairiy
established it is found profitable that 1t
can never be oblterated
Mr.. Stickney then spoke of the un-
satisfactory results of settlers engag-
ing in a single branch of agriculture
which led up to the conditions required
for raising live stock on the farms.
Said he:
South Dakota farm is adapted to raising large
punches of cattle and hogs, but do assert
with confidence, that every quarter section
farm in both these states can raise two or
three bulocks, and say six to dozen hogs
per annum, at smaller cost per animal
than the average cost Of the large herds
raised by the specialist in live stock, in the
corn belt or even on the ranges.
What would the raising of two steers and say
ten hogs persquarter section farm amount to
in the aggregate? In Minnesota and North Da-
kota there are probably 25O,0O0 of such farms.
Two steers per farm means 500, 600 steers,
and ten hogs per farm means 1900 hogs,
together of the aggregate value of, say, forty
or forty-five millions of dollars per annum,
which can be produced on the farms of Min
nesota and North Dakota, without reducing
the production of grain. On the contrary the
raising of this live stock would tend to in
crease the grain production by enabling the
farmer to fertilize his land.
Mr.. Stickney proceeded to say, two
things We're essentially necessary. The
farmer must know how and there must
be an accessible market. He went on
to discuss the "know how and later
the market, giving a brief history of
the establishment of one at South st.
Paul.
In 1888, a few gentlemen in this city, real
izng the Importance of starting the live
stock industry on the farms Of Minnesota
and North Dakota, and the necessity of such
a nearby market as I have spoken Of under
took the establishing of such a market by
the building of stockyards and packing
houses at South st. Paul. At that time there
was limited market for cattle and abso-
lutely no market for live hogs at either st.
Paul or Minneapolis, man bringing a
carload of cattle to the Twin Cities for sale,
was compelled to peddle them out as car
load of horses is now peddled out. You all
know In general way what has happened
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-22

WASHINGTON, Oct 21-The cardl-
nal, archbishops and bishops, constitut-
ing the board of directors of the Cath
olic University of America, today de-
cided to refer the case of Monsignor
Schroeder, professor of dogmatic theol-
ogy at the university, to Pope Leo for
final determination. This conclusion
was reached late this afternoon and
was formally announced in an official
statement issued by the board. The case
is enc of the most notable in the recent
history of the church, and besides agi-
tating the hierarchy to the center and
engaging public attention in this coun-
try. it has been considered at the
Vatican and has been the subject of
cable communications between Rome
and the papal delegate at Washington.
The decision of the board, as given
out by the secretary, Mgr. Conaty, is
as follows:
The board was notified that Mgr. Schroeder
intended to send in his resignation during
his last stay in Germany; that he did not DO
so on account of an advice received from the
HOLY Father. The board therefore leaves the
final decision to the Holy Father himself
and expresses its regret at the many charges
made against Mgr. Schroeder in this connec-
ton.
Beyond this the officials declined to
state any of the circumstances leading
I'D to the decision, although there was
an abundance of comment on its mean
ing and effect. 1t was understood that
while the decision was to refer the
case to Rome for final action, yet that
the board has expressed it's own view,
which would be forwarded to Rome
with Mgr. Schroeder's views, and that
his retirement would come about vol
unfairly within a year. Statements

speaker and was Justify cheered. Seth
Low was next introduced. Such a
storm as arose has rarely been heard
in Carnegie hail. From the topmost
row of the topnlost gallery, down
through the balcony, boxes and pit the
wild storm swept. 1t was exactly
four minutes before cheering subsidized
only to be brought to life again by the
mayor, who arose and demanded
three and three more" for the next
mayor Of Greater New York-Seth
Low"
For two more minutes the whirl-
wind of enthusiasm swept the house
and even after it had died out entirely
it was renewed when Mr. Low had
said: Fellow Citizens
Mr.. Lows speech was an amplifica-
tlon of the addresses that he had been
delivering throughout the entire cam
paign He referred to Mr.. Platt as
citizen Of Oswego, and to Mr.. Croker
as frequenter of the English race
track, and called on the hearers to
vote for home rule.
When Elihu Root, the next speaker,
mentioned Henry Georges name there
was vigorous applause in which Seth
Low Joined. The name of Gen. Tracy
was Kissed.
The announcement that Mayor Har-
rison, of Chicago, is coming here to
speak in behalf of Judge Van Wyck,
Tammany sachems. From the outset
not received with favor even by the
Tammany Sachems. From the outset
the Republicans have been criticised
by the Democratic managers and the
leaders and the newspaper supporters
of the Citizens Union movement for
importing campaign speakers; notable
among whom were Senators Foraker
and Thurston. The acceptance of
Mayor Harrison's tender of services
is regarded as qualification of the
Democratic position on this subject.
Col William L. Brown gave voice to
the disSentient sentiment today when
he said: "I wrote to Mr.. Sheehan
some little time ago, protesting against
any such scheme of this kind. L have
received letter from Mr.. Sheehan in
which he said that he entirely agreed
with me in the stand 1 had taken. 1t
is bad politics. unnecessary and ill
timed to bring Mayor Harrison to New
! York"
%"Who, then Col. Brown was asked,
ais responsible for Carter Harrison's
visit if Mr. Sheehan did not favor it?'
That ne replied, IL leave you to
conjecture" ~
1t is believed that Henry George has
declined the services of the scores or
Populist and Silver orators, among
them Jerry Simpson and former sen n
ator PETER, who volunteered to speak
for him in New York.

These statistics show in what department
is the greatest difficulty in establishing
live stock market.
The discovery and development of the cold
storage house has made the dressed meat
business possible. Besides large working
capital. the successful prosecution of the
dressed meat business requires an enormous
invested capital in cold storage wholesale

try. one in each town of any considerable

LONDON, Oct 21.-The stanch re-

when the British forces stormed the
Dareai ridge, of the Samana range,
YESTERDAY afternoon, and the apparent
iv heavy losses of the British in that
engagement, are facts viewed with
serious misgiving in London today.
The insurgents were evidently in great
force, for in addition to being able
to make stubborn stand against the
British advance they had contingent

this fierce engagement suggest any de-

in good order, and proceeded to con-
struct fresh defensive works on the ad-
iacent hills, showing that Afridiland
will probably have to be conquered
yard by yard.
The news of the massing of the At
ridis in the pass and the report that
they are stretching strong fortifica-
tions there is also most disquieting.
The newspapers here criticize the plan
of campaign, which apparently neces-
states capturing the same ground
twice, as the Dargal ridge was carried
on Monday only to be left for the
tribesmen to reoccupy it on Tuesday.
But, it appears that the British force
