NO COMPETITION TO FEAR
With Mexican South American Cattle,
But With Australian

Chicago, March 2s--In 2n interview
today p. d. Armour was asked what his
views were regarding the point raised
against the restoration of the tariff on
cattle, especially MeX;Can cattle, and his
opinion as 70 me probability of Mexican
canning factories being able to compete
with the canning establishments of the
United States. Mr. Armour declared the
idea 10 BE- preLOs:trcus, as Mexican cat
tie are inferior IN quality to American
cattle aid the factories would fail to
make the experiment pay.
I'm fact" he stated, such experiments
as have eiready been made in packing
meats in Mexico have been dismal fail
ures and the Iarties who would under
take il would only incur great loss. Au-
STRATA is liable to become most formid-
able rival in foreign countries, especially

EARTHQUAKE AT MONTREAL.
MICHAEL DAyITT SCORES JONES"
Charges in the Commons That the Dyna-
mite Plot Was Matched.

London, March 26-During the debate
on the civil estimates of the house of
commonss, today, Michae! Davitt, Ma
tionalist, moved a reduction, on the
ground that the alleged dynamite plot
was Matched by government agents and
provocatiIres. He said the man known
as Jones" was the prime instigator Of
the whole proceeding. The American
witnesses could have proved that Jones
had been expelled from one Irish society
in the United States for trying to induce
its members TO join plot 70 dynamite
the British embassy al Washington and
to assassinate the late home secretary.
There was no country, he continued,
where plots were held IN greater abhor-
renee than In the United States. If the
plots against the queen or the prince of
Wales or the duke of York should be
Matched there, no arbitration treaty or
any other treaty would be necessary TO
secure the prompt punishment of the Of
tenders.
Sir Matthew White Ridley. the home
secretary, said. in reply, that ne was
perfectly satisfied tNat the secret service
money had been properly expended. He
believed the police had prevented great
work-that the men who were arrested
were engaged in very real and substan-
tial conspiracy. He wished to affirm
emphs ,ically that the home office had
been exceedingly careful to satisfy it
self that the men whom it employed
were respectable and entirely trustwor-
thy.
John Dillon, the Irish Nationalist lead
er. declared that the government had no
right TO use secret service money to en-
trap innocent men into committing
crimes. The object was to injure the
character of the Irish nation, and that.
too, while the capital of England was
the center Of plots against all the dy-
nasties Of Europe.
Other Irish Nationalist spoke in a sim
liar strain, but the motion to reduce the
estimates was rejected by vote Of Jos
20 20.
