CATTLE BREEDING

The fret and most essential point 10
cattle has bsndry is breeding, for without
good judgement in breeding no extent Of
care aud feeding will bring profitable re
suits. A SPEAKER atsO no farmers insti

more to do than merely to eject the comp
| ling OF one animal with another, but to
rightly fulfill the functions OF his calling

the natural laws OF propagation, he is to

cumstances aud environments, cause good

TURKS slAY CHRISTIANS,

London. Feb. 5.--A dispatch TO the
Central News from Athens says that
desperate fighting has occurred between
the Christians ana Mohamedans in
the Island Of Crete. The Mussulmans
have set fire to the city OF Canea anu tho
place is now burning. The city Is in q
state OF anarchy and Il Christian is safe
nowhere. Many Christians who had
locked themselves in their houses were
driven out by flames only TO meet death
at the hands of the Turkish soldiers
who shot them down flt sight 4 num-
Der ot Christians have succeeded in
finding refuge on the warships In the
In the city is very precarious
The dispatch further says that fully
300 per sons have been Killed In Canea.
Many OF them lost their lives while at
tempting to reach the Warships.
The situation is SO critical that ma
rines have been landed from the British
and French Warships To protect the Con-
sulateS of their respective Governments
The various reports received here in
dcatc that in the first instance the
Christians were rs fully to blame as the
Mussunlans.
The Consuls have arrived at Canea
and have sent MESA ges declaring that
the situation is hopeless. The most in
tense excitement prevails IN Athens.
The Government has ordered two war
ships to proceed to CAnea mediately
and other war ships will follow. The
statement was followed with the widest
enthusiasm and with acclamations for
the union Of Greece and Crete.

IaAvEsnEYER ON TRUSTS.
The afend Orthc sugar Combine Dis.
cuSSeS His HuSfucvS.

New York, Feb 5.-'rhe special legs-
lativc committee appointed TO inveSti-
gate the subject OF trusts met in this
city to-day. II. Q. Havemeycr and 'rheo
a. Havemeyer. the heads Of the Amer-
can Sugar Refining company, were on
hand having been subpoenaed as Wit
nesses. Theo. Eavemeyer, vice presi-
dent OF the Sugar company, was the first
witness. but his examination was not as
sensational as was that OF Henry @.
HaVcmeycr. president Of the company.
The latter said the So-called Sugar
Trust came into existence in 1887 and
it continued until January, 1891. Wit
ness said there were about fifteen
companies which were consolidated in
1891. Witness; thought the total value
Of the assets of the combined compa-
MES was S50,000.0 .000 less IS per cent.
Witness said the American Sugar Re
fneries company was organized in 1891,
and took the place OF the so-called
trust. Fifty million dollars worth Of
stock was originally issued and increas-
ed In 1893 to s75000u00. The 5000 600
increase was for the purchase of Phila-
delphia sugar rntnerieS
To an inquiry from Chairman Lexow,
whether the witness company did not
now control the product and price OF
refined sugar in the United States. Mr.
Havcmeyer replied in a very emphatic
voice: I'VE undoubtedly d."
And you do II hy reason OF the con-
solidation?'
we do it simply from the fact that
we own property that can refine so
much sugar"
Mr.. Havemeyer paused a moment. and
then said: "!And it may as we'll be re-
corded now that when we controlled %
per cent. of the sugar market OF the
United States The Supreme Court de-
cided it was perfectly legal for us to do
So"
The witness said the American Sugar
Refining company did not prevent any
body from competing. and that it
could not be called q monopoly.
Mr.. Havemeyer said that he consid-
cred that the coffee business was Il good
one and that was the reason they pur-
chased the Woolson company in Ohio.
do you think the coffee business pre-
sents as allurng a field as the sugar
business?'
Eyes, sir; propose to carry on the
coffee business just as we have done
the sugar business. so that instead Of
paying three or four cents q pound pro-
tit, which has prevailed for years, the
public will get the benefit of all above
half a cent profit. and we will also get a
magnificent return for our investment.

Mr.. Haycmeyer, q little later! on, de-
clared that before the Havemeyers en-
gagged In the coffee business the profits

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Indications or Improvement, but
Nothing 1Kns Arrived Vet.

New York. Feb. 5.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
General trade, which was retarded by
unfavorabe weather a week ago, has
recovered somewhat at Chattanooga,
Memphis. birmingham and New Or
leans. While the cold weather cut into
stocks OF heavy goods, ii delayed the
sale OF spring goods. Other relatively
favorable trade reports are from st.
Paul. Chicago, Minneapolis and st.
Louis. At most centres jobbcrs report
business quiet or unchanged, with no
prospect for immediate Improvement.
The restriction Of the production Of
cotton goods has not strengthened the
market or advanced prices YET. The
heavy increase In wool. 40. 600. 900 pounds
at Boston alone since January ],
against 24,000000 pounds last year. is
based largely on the expectations of
higher duty on wool. More woolen mills
have started up there, which have hit
the popular taste in style and fabric
and they are full OF present business.
One Of the most unsatisfactory indus
trial features IS the lack or demand for
iron and steel, prices Of which in the
central-Western States have gotten be-
low nominal quotations.
Eastern and Western iron manufac-
turers are attracted by the Southern ex-
port trade during the past few months.
Practically unchanged quotations are
recorded Tor refined sugar, rice. tea,
lumber, WOOL cotton and print cloths.

INDIANA DNDAN ED.
The battleship Indiana was The first
vessel To develop serious trouble. Her
heavy military mast, bearing rapid
IRE guns In the fighting tops, and the
absence of her bilge lleels, made her roll
TO such degree that the fastenings OF
49, ibi ouoGGlily Slappeu anu her
tremendous thtatcen Inch fifty foot
guns, projecting from the forward tur-
rett, began to thrash about the decks
with the unrestralned whlrling about OF
these shields until it was feared that
they would demolish the entire upper
works OF the ship.
They were finally secured. after the
lashing had broken several times. n
EErXAS COULD HAVE FOUGHT.
The behavior OF the battleship Texas,
which at the same time sturdily held her
place in the column Of ships, was aptly
described by Captain Evans, or the In
diana, who said: There She is, going
like a church!"
The report Of Captain Glass, comman-
der of the Texas. was that his ship be-
haved beautifully and could at any
time during the storm have engaged an
enemy. The ship was 4 perfect gun
platform and her big cannon could have
been loaded and fired with accuracy.
She experienced no trouble and was
not in danger at any time. Her turrets
remained solidly on their tracks aud
there was no strain OH the locking
appara tus.
This is the record Of the Government
built vessel.
