propriate $4,000 for the relief of des-
titute Americans in Cuba, but Mr.

latures of the states an amendment to

ter partisan debate yesterday. The res
olution appropriating $4,000 for the
relief of American citizens was adopt
ed without Il dissenting vote, but the

Grafton also of the Morgan resolution
for recognition of belligerency of the
insurgents. They accused the repub-
leans of cndeavoring to evade this is
sue, but the dominant party through
it's spokesman, Mr. Hit Qll.) made the

leans desired not to embarrass nego-
tiations which were being projected by

FEEDING FOR BEEF.

Bulletin SO, Of the Mississippi
Station, gives some results Of feed
ing for beef which are of great ino
terest. Four kinds OF hay were
used, shredde corn fodder, crabs
grass, peavine, and red clover.
The red clover was the one upon
which the best gains were made,
and this was followed very closely
by the peavines, while the shred~
ded corn was the poorest feed in
the lot, although this was made up,
in part at least, oy it's small cost,
For a grain feed, five and a half
pounds of cotton seed meal per
day gave the best results, giving q
better gain than did seven and a
half pounds. "Jack Bean" meal
was of almost no value, as it was
not relished by the cattle, and
even after they were taught 10 eat
1t the gains were very small.

4 HUGE COAL TRUST
A Company to be Capitalized
at $11,OOO,OOO.
ASPEEDY CONSOLIDATION
THE SCHEME is STUPENDOUS
IN IT'S NATURE.
THE OBJECT, TO REDUCE EXPENSES
But it is Claimed That it is But to Reap the
Reward That win be Gained in
Reduction Of Operating
Expenses.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 1.-The biggest
combination of river coal interests ever
attempted, promises to be effected be-
fore the new year. 1t has been talked of
for years, but has at last come to a
focus. a committee, consisting of Capt.
w. w. ONeill, president of the w. w.
0Neil Coal Company, and of the Pitts
burg Coal Exchange; Captain S. S.
Brown, of w. III. Browns Sons, and
Capt. John A. Wood, of the firm of
Jno. \. Wood and Son, is hard at work
considering the schedules of property
values as presented by the separate coal
companies operating on the river.
There is Il slight dissension in tire
ranks but it is not considered to be
sufficient to block the way of a speedy
consolidation. The scheme, which is stu
pendous in nature, proposes the organi-
zation of one company with a capitali-
zation of $11 100000. 1t is to be a
huge trust, controlling the river coal in
terests from lock No. 5 on the Monoga-
hela river to New Orleans.
The primary object of the combination
is TO reduce expenses in both mining and
shipping. The Pittsburg operators hope
by this means to successfully compete
with the Kanawha river product. 1t is
claimed that it is but to reap the re-
ward that will be gained in the reduc-
ton of operating expenses. The elimina-
ton of the cutting done by Pittsburg
shippers is also expected to contribute TO
the dividends.

sions. 1t discusses the subject of lynch
ings, and urges that a heavy pecuniary
penalty be imposed on each county and
city in which a lynching occurs; that
wherever the military may be called out
to protect a prisoner in a county or city,
such county or city be charged with the
expenses thereof, and that officers who
allow prisoners to be taken from their
custody without first having exhausted
all possible means TO protect their pris-
Oners he summarily suspended until the
question of dismissal shall he determined

penalty for rape, and that death.
1t recommends radical changes in the
oyster laws, so as to to increase the
revenues, and advocates material changes
in the present election law, while ad-
hitting that this law is immeasurably
better than the Anderson Mccormick
law. it says:
But there is in the existing act provi-
s.ons which make fraud easy. and tend
to cast suspicion upon the elections, as
well rs upon the purpose of the act. So,
while the new law has its advantages
over the old law, it has its evils, for It
virtually disfranchises many and opens
wide the door to corruption and dishon-
esty. 1t has proved a failure, and should
be amended retaining what is good and
discarding what is bad in it."
He recommends an emblem ballot, af.
ter the style of the Maryland ballot
Various other minor recommendations
are made.
After receiving the Governors mes
sage the houses transacted some little
routine business and then adjourned uR-
til tomorrow morning.

Wichita, Kans, Dee. Capt. E. L..
Hewes, the boomer, who claims to have
enrolled in Wichita 300 recruits to the
Sooner" army, with which he hopes to
invade the Wichita mountain country
within the Kiowa and Comanche Indian
reservation in Oklahoma Territory, left
to-day for the Oklahoma Territory,
where he will continue his recruiting.
Twenty-Five men with nine wagons,
accompanied him from here to-day as
commander in chief of the Sooner"

tary Bliss, in which he asserts that
there is no desire on the part of himself,
or his men, to act in defiance of law or
the principles of justice, 'but by the
memory of George Washington, Sir

American citizens to expect considera-

of the Interior to state terms upon
which he forbids the would-be prospec-
tors from operating in the Wichita noun
tain country, under the act of Congress
approved May 10. 1872.
He adds: I'VE are in earnest, sir, and
Twill stand no trihing or arbitrary treat
ment with the Indian Agents and gov
ernment officials
1t is supposed that the boomers are
determined to invade the reservation and
to-day the boomer chief declared that his
army would be ready to move by the
middle of the month.

Will Oppose 1t.


st, Louis, Mo-, Dec. 1.-Congressman
Joseph Bailey, of Texas, the recognized
leader on the Democratic side of the
House, passed through the city to-day
en- route for Washington.
He expressed the opinion that not
much will be accomplished by the ap-
preaching session OF Congress, particu-
uarly regarding the currency question.
There is possibility" he said, "that
the House may take some action regard
ing the currency, providing the Presi-
dent sends message to Congress recon-
mending the retirement of the green
backs and the conversion of non-interest
bearing government notes into gold in
terest bearing securities. Should the
President do this, such a measure would
doubtless pass the House, but in no
event would it pass the Senate, and |
do not believe it would be attempted"
Asked his opinion of the fate of the
Morgan resolution recognizing the
belHgerency of Cuba, which passed the
Senate, and is pending in the House. he
said:
Everything depends upon public
sentiment. II public feeling remains
dormant, the resolution will not be acted
upon, but il the public makes strong
demand, then the resolution will be
taken up and passed under a rule limit
ing debate"
Mr.. Bailey left tonight for Louisville
and expects to reach Washington next

THE RUHLIN-RYAN FIGHT.
Ryan Game but Succumbs to Mere
Weight of his Opponent.

New Orleans, La, Dee. 1-Gen
Ruhlin, the giant heavy weight of Ak
ron, Ohio, defeated Tut Ryan, of Aus
tralia, tonight ut the Tulane Athletic
Club in a ten round fight, John Duffy
being the referee. Rubin was the taller
and heavier weighing about 100 pounds
Ryan tipped the beam at 115 pounds and
like his opponent, was in the best of con-
dition.
Ruhlin, at the outset was awkward
and Ryan in point of cleverness showed
considerable superiority. The Australian,
realizing his disadvantage, fought for
the body, and in the first eight rounds
landed with plenty of force on the body.
For a time this weakened Rubin, but
he gained courage and finally became
stronger and captured the day. His
blows in the last two rounds were hard
and Ryan was groggy and could hardly
have stood the terrible raids around
longer.
On every side Ryan was given praise
for his gameness and hrilliancy, while
Rubin was simply looked upon as Il
husky heavy weight with very little
chance Of ever becoming a champion.
Rubin and Maher will now be match
ed.

A MUDDLE IN VIENNA.
The New Cabinet Hardly Improves the
Parliamentary Situation.

Vienna, Dec 1.-The prospects for the
new ministry are ominous. The assign
ments of portfolios has been received on
all sides with frigid reserve, and although
the dismissal of Count Badeni has al
layed the spirit of rebellion in Vienna and
the German towns, anarchy has broken
out in the Slav and Czechish towns and
provinces.
1t looks as thought Baron Gautsch
would have as great difficulties to face
in the demands of the Czechs and Social
lists as Count Badeni had. Seeing the
success that mob influence has had in
Vienna in bringing about the downfall of
Count Badeni, the Czechs are trying by
the same influence to bring pressure to
bear upon the new cabinet.
The parliamentary situation is un-
changed and hopeless. Baron Gautsch
has conferred with the leaders Of the
majority and the leaders Of minority but
so far both parties appear irreconcilable
