England Not Expected to Override

New York. Oct. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
The Herald is informed from a trust
worthy source that the Indian govern
ment. in reply TO a further pressing in
vitation by the English cabinet to con-
slider Senator Wolcott's proposals, has
answered that it cannot reopen the
question of the Indian currency and it
will not be a party to the reopening of
the minis for the free coinage of sill
yer.
In we'll informed English circles, adds
the correspondent, it is not believed
that Lord SalisburXis government will
dare to override on this question the
decision of the Indian government.
Senator Wolcott's mission must thus
be considered abortiYe.

The Record For Death Broken In
New Orleans.


New Orleans.
New Orleans. Oct. Given as early
as O'Clock this afternoon the day had
proved q record breaker, both as TO the
number of cases and as to the number
of deaths that had been reported. The
Increase OF cases today was not uneX-
pected- The weather has been warm
during the afternoon, especially. The
large territory the board of health has
to cover makes perfect scrutiny impos-
sible, and germs are being distributed
which, if the totality of cases was few
er, would easily be restrained. While
the number of cases under treatment
today is in the neighberhood of 20, there
are many houses which have not yet
been disinfected, but in which the pa
tients have been declared well. Less
inmates Of such premises, and the re-
suit has been that the number of foct
has been increased. But the total death
rate is still small in proportion to the
number Of cases. AT 6 O'Clock 80 new
cases had been reported and five
deaths.
Two of the days new cases are in AL
gier5. making seven that have appeared
in that suburb. The disease has ap-
parently died out at Ocean Springs.

Cattle Losses.

Dickinson, n D., April 20 With
out question cattle and sheep losses
for the winter for Western North
Dakota have been greately exagger-
ated. There are individual cases
through shittlessness or lack of
knowledge, of great loss among cat
tie and sheep; but on the whole, the
loss will not be more than 20 per
cent, or about 10 per cent more than
usual
Many of the small ranchmen who
corral Or feed their stock during the
worst weather saw that they we're
likely to run short of feed and fed
sparingly during March which caus-
ed their herds aud f1ocks to become
thin in flesh and now they are in
poor shape for the cold rains likely
to come during April So that the
real loss, with some possibly is yet
to come. The sheepmen probably
have more to fear from loss in their
eve bands, and old cows thin in
flesh will not pe in condition to stand
much stormy weather either. In
the Bad Lands where cattle depend
wholly upon grazing for sustenance
it is hard to tell just what the loss
will be;in fact, it never is known,
but from all reports it will not be
over 30 per cent-certainly much
less than was at first reported. The

the winter with plenty of hay have

The Majority Speak Plainly.

Washington, D. c., April 20.
Regarding the proposed national
convention called by the Coxey-mid-
dle-of- -the-road faction Of the neo-
pies party for July 4th at Mem
phis, National Chairman Butter has
stated that he will not be present.
s'You may quote me as saying
that any populist who does attend
defies the regular organization Of
his party he remarked today.
Mr.. Butler stated that he receiv-
ed the resolutions adopted at the
Memphis conference in February
suggesting that convention be
held, and had submitted it by mail
to each of the 145 members of the
national committee. The responses
were overwhelmingly in favor of
non action at this time, only four
teen favoring the proposed conven-
tion for July 4.
eff the national committee had
favored a convention, = said Senator
Butler, II certainly would have
called one. In this case, however,
a certain faction of populsts who in
the last campaign wanted a separ-
ate electoral ticket have banded to-
gether and insist that the party
needs reorganization.
Senator Butler has sent to the
committee of the National Reform
Press association, which demanded
that he call conven ton, a letter
