American Beef in Europe.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has indicat.
ed desire on his part to secure relief
for American exporters of cattle and
dressed beef, by instructing Col. Hay,
the American Ambassador to England,
Gen. Porter, the Ambassador to France,
Mr.. White, Ambassador to Germany,
andaMr. Storer, the new minister to
Belgium, to confer upon the subject of
procuring the removal of the restric.
tions now imposed in Europe upon the
importation of this staple.
The President no doubt understands
and sympathizes with the views of
Western cattle owners and will take no
little pride in securing at least modi-
fication, if not an entire recall of the
existing exclusion edict. The theory
upon which the American ambassadors
are to proceed is to accept in good faith
the allegations of these foreign govern
ments that they do not wish to discrimi-
nate against American cattle and
American meats. 1t will then only re-
main to show that there is really no
ground for fear of contagious di.
seases in American cattle sent to
Europe, and no danger in the beef.
The inspection bureau in the year 1896
inspected no less than twenty-three
million animals as against three million
eight hundred thousand in 1892. These
figures indicate somewhat the extent Of
the capabilities of the inspection service,
but, of course, the exclusion of our
cattle and meats from 30 many
European ports make the inspection
for foreign countries very much lighter
than it would be, free from such strin-
gent edicts. Last year there was $40
clearances of vessels carrying cattle and
sheep and all these vessels were care
fully inspected as to fittings, space and
other accommodations for live stock.
Out of 815, 1882 cattle inspected for ex-
port, only 1903 were rejected.
Gen. Porter, will, of course, be able
to assure France that our retaliatory re-
striction upon French cattle will be
gladly removed, although that would
perhaps hardly be determining factor
for France. In England we have less
to complain of, and the main purpose
will be to secure the revocation of the
rules relating to the slaughter at the
port of debarkment of cattle imported
from the United States.
The last report of the Department
of Agriculture gives the following
statistics: 1.-THE live meat arriving in
the United Kingdom during the first
six months of the year 1896 was sup
piled as follows: BY the United
States, 1910 per cent of the cattle and
1926 per cent of the sheep; Canada,
90 per cent of the cattle and 1927 per
cent of the sheep; Argentina, 1850
per cent of the cattle and 5000 per
! cent of the sheep; while all other

Colorado. Mrs. Vale says that 1t is a
mistake to suppose that large major
ity of the women in the state are now
enthusiastic believers in woman suff-
rage. She does not know one who
was opposed to it before its adoption,
who has reversed her judgment as TO
its ACCESSIBILITY; while she knows many
who three years ago favored the move
ment, who are now declaring that par
ticipation in politics is burdensome
and uncongenial duty with no compen-
sating advantages to the fair sex.
Another Colorado woman is truthful
enough to say that women in that state
have found out that their politics are
quite as corrupt as those of men, and
a shade more tricky, and that women
of the better class have become dis
gusted with scheming and combina-
tons, and all the things they found
fault with the men for doing.
These are, of course, individual ex-
pressions of opinion and against them it
should truthfully be said that the news
papers of Colorado do not admit that
the experiment has been a failure, and
they are not ready to state that the
women of Colorado have lost their zeal
for the publication of politics.
Writing on this subject in the Aus.
tralian Revie,D of Reuie,os, Sir Robert
Stout says: at cannot be said that the
purity of administration or the charac-
ter of the candidates doomed larger in
the eyes of women than in those OF
men. The prediction that party yea
and partisan feeling would not blint
them to the defects of the character o.
candidates has not been fulfilled. A
few members have been returned t.
the house whose character for sobriet,
does not stand high, and women ART
found supporting them just as much a
men. 1t cannot be said that womel
were anywise different in their votinl
from their husbands and brothers
, They were carried away just as mucl
/. by party cries as the men were, an,
!, party dominated them. That the in
, fuence of women in politics and thei
voting will not be different from tina
, of their husbands and brothers may b
, regarded as foregone conclusion"
1t is hardly within the province of
: New England newspaper to pass judg
| ment on the Colorado or New Zealan
phase of the matter, inasmuch as thos
local to it do not agree. But we hav
: yet to see any evidence in Vermont Q

THE fact that Grover Cleveland has
recently consented to receive the de-
gree of LII. d. from Princeton College,
when he declined it from Harvard
about ten years ago, has caused no lit.
tie discussion among the newspapers
and the recent supporters of Mr.. Cleve-
land have advanced some ingenious ex-
plantations. The Springfield Repubk-
can suggests that perhaps he knows
more now than he did when the de-
gree was first offered. The Boston
Herald, another mugwump supporter
of the ex-president, imagines he might
prefer degree that seemed personal,
rather than one that appeared to be
given in recognition of official position.
Some Of the out-spoken republican
newspapers are of the opinion that Mr..
Cleveland would have shown good
sense If he had declined both. A col

NEW ENGLISH GUN.
Made of Tubes Of Equal Length, Which
Arc TelescOped.


Arc TelescOped.
new idea in big guns has just been
developed by an inventor of Openshaw,
England. His gun Is called the Gledhill
built up gun and takes its name partly
from, Its inventor and partly from the
manner OF its construction. The inventor
is Manassah Gledhill. He makes his gun
by building up series of steel tubes, SO
formed, fitted together and united as to
insure great strength and durability while
permitting the ready removal Of any sec
ton without injury of the other sections,
a formation valuable because 1t permits the
reIlacement OF an inner lining. This part
often becomes worn by constant use, SO as
to AFFECT the accuracy of the firing, says an
exc hange.
The most important feature of the gun
is the construction Of the steel tubes which
are Uniformly tapered throughout their
length. By this means the required dimi-
rution in the external diameter Of the gun
from the breech to the muzzle is obtained
without shoulders or sudden changes of
thtckness which are thought prejudicial to
guns strength. The tapering tubes are
made 30 that they closely fit, one over the
other, beginning with the inner lining and
ending with the outer shell.
Another advantage Is the comparative
ease of manufacture. The builder can
form the outside of one tube and bore out
the other tube SO that both are continu-
ousiy tapered at the same angle from end
to end, and the external diameter of the
one Is SO nearly the same as the internal
diameter of the other that the outer tube
can be placed very nearly in it's ultima te
position upon the inner tube without pres
sure, while q slight hydraulic pressure
forces the tube to its exact position. In
this way one tube after another Is added
and the gun built up Of four steel sections
At the breech the tapering tubes are Sc
cured by a series of screw bolts. The breech
plug Ia usually cylindrical, but sometimes
made taper, with continuous screw threads
to facilitate the opening and closing of the
breech.
The new gun is so perfectly fitted that
not only can Its various parts be with
drawn and replaced readily, but in case Of
a desire to remove the gun from one point
to another the sections can be easily sepa-
rated. packed and transported.
