of a 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 a live stock
market.
Rich men, by an expenditure of their
money, may build stockyards and. packing
houses but the establishment of live stock
market, 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

a limited market as has existed for hogs

In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say, that
Minnesota is rich in her forests, which are
fast being denuded, and in her mines IN IS, OF
iron ore. The silver and gold mines Of Mon

of the ranges of Dakota and Montana are
valuable adjuncts to the jobbing trade OF TINS
city, But the substantial foundation Of your
trade and of the wealth Of this state is in its
agriculture.
The small farms, where not only the grain
and the hogs and the cattle are raised, put
where the children, who, in few years, Will

future prosperity.

Schroeder Case
Left With His
Holiness for a Final
Finding,
EFERRED BACK
TO ROME.

that Mgr Schroeder had resigned, as
preliminary to the reference of the
case to the pope, were positively and
authoritatively denied.
After the board had adjourned,
representative of the Associated Press
asked Mgr. Schroeder for an author
lied statement. He expressed regret at
the prominence given to his name be-,
fore the public, and said that he most
earnestly wanted to resign as pro-
fessor during his last vacation; that he
had been sufferingl very much from
neuralgia while in Germany, and the
physicians advised him to resign on
account of the great and continued
mental excitement connected with his
position; that he came back to the un17
versity because the iholy father told
him to do so: that therefore he could
not resign without the consent of the
holy father; that as to the personal
attacks made upon him, his answer
was only contempt, and that he was
glad to hear that the board did not
take the charges into consideration.
The Schroeder case has been re-
nnarkable controversy in many re-
spects. Mgr. Schroeder entered the
faculty of the university when it was
started and has been with it contin-
uously since. He is a recognized au-
thority on doctrinal and philosophical
subjects, a man of wide scholarship,
and considered the foremost Latin ora
tor of the church. Of recent years he
has differed with his associates on
questions of policy, and this was inten-
sifed at the time of the retirement of
Bishop Keane from the rectorship of
the university, it being asserted that
Mgr. Schroeder was in part responsible
for that change. He was regarded as
the conspicuous exponent of the Ger
man clergy and views they entertained
on church policy.

TAMMANY OBJECTS TO MR.. HARRISON.
Welcome OF Chicago's rlayor in New York
Is Somewhat Uncertain.
Patt r1achine 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 filled 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 a Republican meeting,
being held under the auspices of the
Republican organization (anti-PlatD 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
shrielzed 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. Arson
NJ 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 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
,Platt 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

WASHINGTON, Oct 21-The cardi-
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 one 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 TINS cohlec-
ton.
Beyond this the officials declined to
state any of the circumstances leading
up 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 its own view,
which would be forwarded to Rome
with Mgr Schroeder's views, and that
his retirement would come about vol
unfairly within year. Statements

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:
I will give you a "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 curious fact in the settlement
and development of new country that the
two-legged species always come first. Ihe
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 a newly settled country, the IN
dustry of raising hogs-but when it is fairly
established it is found so profitable that 1t
can never be obliterated.
Mr.. Stickney then spoke of the un-
satisfactory results Of settlers engaS-
ing in a single branch of agriculture
which led up to the conditions required
for raising live stock on the farms.
Said he:
1 do not argue that the Minnesota and
South Dakota farm is adapted to raising large
punches of cattle and hogs, but l do assert
with confidence. that every quarter section
farm in both these states can raise two or
three bulIocks and say six to a 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,O00 of such farms.
Two steers per farm means 5OO,00 steers,
and ten hogs per farm means 2,50O,0O0 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
izing 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 have spoken of, under
took the establishing of such a market by
the building of stockyards and packing
was limited market for cattle. and abso-
lutely no market for live hogs at either st,
Paul or Minneapolis, A man bringing a
carload of cattle to the Twin Cities for sale,
was compelled to peddle them out as a car
load Of horses is now peddled out. You all

Paul They succeeded in accomplish
ing this change owing to the kindly
assistance Of some of their friends in
the railroad business. The lake and
rail rates they asked for last season
were granted this season. Mr.. Young
was glad to say that the st. Paul job
bers had held their own and that the
situation here today was better than
that of any other city. Having all
the facilities by rail and lake st. Paul
could not be bottled up during the
navigation season, and as some Of the
railroads entering st. Paul had the in
terests of the city sufficiently at heart,
it could never be bottled up.
Referring to the assertion Of some
people that the future danger to ST.
Paul is Duluth, Mr.. Young admon-
ished his hearers not to believe that, as
50 per cent Of the jObbing business Was
done south of a line drawn east and
west through ST. Paul. In conclusion,
Mr.. Young said that the jobbers OF st.
Paul were we'll satisfied with the pres
ent situation, and predicted ultimate
success if they practicedS eternal Vigi-
lance and stood by one another.

in Carnegie hall. From the topmost

wild storm swept. 1t was exactly

For two more minutes the whirl-

it was renewed when Mr.. Low had
said: Fellow Citizens
Mr.. Lows speech was an amplifica-
tlon of the addresses that he had been

vote for home rule.

Mayor Harrison's tender of services
is regarded as a qualification of the

LONDON. Oct. 21-The stanch re-
sistance of the insurgent tribesmen,
when the British forces stormed the
Dargai 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 a stubborn stand against the
British advance, they had contingent
of 1000 men to spare for a Hanklng
movement. Not any of the stories OF
this fierce engagement suggest any de-
ncralization Of the enemy, who retired
in good order and proceeded to con-
struct fresh defensive works on the ad-
jacent 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
which first captured the ridge was not
provided with comnlissariat supplies,
