Is DEHORNING CRUEL.
Question Biddeford Court Is Trying to
Settle.

Biddeford, October 2S.-Testimony in
the cattle dehorning CASE before Recorder
Weymouth was continued yesterday after
noon, and adjournment taken to Friday
at 10 O'Clock when some witnesses In re.
buttai will be put on probably and the
arguments made.
There were o number of people
at the court room interesed in
the case during the Afternoon and
it was evident that the action is re-
garded as one Of much Importance to
cattle owners not only in the county but
elsewhere.
Benjamin F. Briggs Of Auburn, who is
one of the trustees OF the Maine Univer-
slty at Orono, testified when put on by
the respondent that the cattle at that in
stitution are dehorned.
Albert A. Conant of Hebron said he
was not veterinary surgeon nor cow
doctor but he has dehorned 300 cattle aud
has q machine with which to do the work.
He said he thought the operation ac.
companied by some pain, but did not
think the after effects while the horn was
healing was very painful. In CROSS ex-
animation he said he had been able after
dehorning cattle to look through the
cavity of one horn, and out through the
horn on the other side of the head. He
had not been able to do this in all cases,
but had done so with some cattle he had
dehorned. BE said he always looked after
performing the operation to see If he
could look through. He testified that
four streams of blood spurted for con-
siderable distance. four or five feet, when
the dehorning operation is performed,
but clot quickly forms, and not more
than pint..of blood is lost. He had never
noticed that the COW had experienced any
i'll effects and had not noticed that the
milk producing ability was lessened, al
though he had never experimented by
weighing the milk.
Henry K. Stearns, the next witness,
testified that he had 30 COWS, all of which
were dehorned. He did not see that they
were injured any by the process.
Samuel G. Bates of Ksnnebunk, an
owner of cattle, testified that he had re.
oeived instruction at the school at Orono.
He has 90 dehorned cattle.
Richard 8. Stanley of Alfred and
Stephen E. Gowen, leader of the lower
family of Shakers at Alfred, were the last
witnesses called for the respondent. Mr..
Gowen said that of the three COWS de-
horned, he had weighed the milk before
and after the operation. He found the
effect to be an increase rather than de-
crease in the product.
In rebuttal for the government, Albert
W. Cole of Saco, John M. Deering of Saoo
one of the state cattle commission. James
ID. Fogg of Biddeford and William Deer
ing Of Saco, testified.
The cattle commissioner testifi ed that
there had been no official action by the
commission relative TO the dehorning of
cattle at Orono.
Adjournment was then taken until 10
O'Clock Friday, at which time the govern
ment will have some witnesses in re-
buttal and the respondent some probable
in sub-rebuttal

JAPAN'S CHAGRIN
Was Misled in the Hawaiian Bus
ness.

Honolulu, October 20, via San Fran
is learned that Japanese Minister Hoshi
will be removed from his position when
he reaches Tobia and that new man
will be sent to Washington by December
10. Japan has been greatly Inundated
by the outcome of the immigration
trouble, and the entire blame is laid up
on Minister Hoshi.
The story goes that John D. Sprenkels,
son of the sugar millionaire. assured
Hoshi that the American government
would never annex the islands. Hoshi
was convinced that Spreckels' alleged
facts were correct and sent them to mis-
government, making out SO strong case
against annexation that it was regarded
as safe to attempt to tulldoze Hawaii.
The prompt action of the Hawaiian
government in putting check upon the
influence OF the Japanese and the deter
mined attitude of the United States in
backing up President Dole, were a great
surprise to the Japanese minister. The
people of Japan were wild over the GER
tain prospect that they would be Obliged
to take water. Advices from Japan show
that the Japanese leaders are convinced
that they have made grave mistake in
attempting to override the small republic.
They discovered too late that back of her
was the United States, her greatest COM
mercial ally and frmest friend among the
nations. The Japanese minister Is now
exerting every energy to get ont of the
difficult position without loss of prestige.
Meanwhile the Hawaiian cabinet is en-
gagged on its reply to Japan's last note.
Japan Is vague on the question Of dam
ages.

fabrics and the future looks dark for New
1.-THE facilities of manufacturing have
been so increased that in many lines of
goods the existing manufacturing estab-
lishments can produce vast amount
more than the United States can consume
and 1t seems likely that each year will
cause stagnation for the industry, and OF
course the usual stoppage of mills during
certain periods. As result OF this CON-
tinued competition in certain lines of
goods for the home market, the prices are
low, wages are low, and tariff legislation
cannot help matters for the merchant and
