To show how rapidly frozen meats
from Australia and Argentina are OBJ

we quote from the Australian Pastor
ialist's Review: There are in the trade

cases of sheep; between New Zealand
and (oT Australia and the United
Kingdom, 10 vessels, insulated to carry

IS vessels, insulated to carry 1859, 400;

vessels, insulated to carry 690, 1000; total
1913 vessels, insulated to carry 4,53O, 900
carcasses. The total import of mutton
from all sources, in 1896, was 5,717 ,937
carcasses. Seeing that each steamer is
able to make about two and half trips
in the year, it is evident that the sup
ply of insulated space has more than
overtaken the present requirements of
the trade. There are sixteen frozen
meat stores in London, which alto
gether can hold for an indefinite period
over 1000, 900 carcasses of mutton; five
in Liverpool to hold 325,0OO, one in
Manchester to hold 10000, one in Car
diff to hold $4,000. one in Glasgow to
hold 10000, one in Newcastle to hold
5000, one in Bristol to hold $4,000.
These are being added to by the erec-
ton of cold storage warehouses in
other large towns. Close upon one
third of the mutton and lamb consumed
in Great Britain now comes from New
Zealand, Australia and the River Plate.
The Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians
are wrought up over the new law which
goes into effect July l relating to DO
lygamy. After that time each of the
forty Cheyenne Indians who has more
than one wife will have to choose one
of the two, three or five wives that he
has, and the cast off wives must go
back to their relatives. The interest
between the squaws, who have become
enlightened to their situation, has be-
come intense. Every squaw who wants
to remain with her husband is doing
her best to please him so that she will
be the lucky wife.

The Porte will form twenty new cav

Thessaly. The Sultan is quietly mobi-

A CHANCE FOR TROUBLE.

Dispatches during the last few days indi-
cate the possibility of trouble between
Great Britain and France growing out of
their territorial acquisitions in Africa. To
appreciate the situation it must be remem-
bered that France stands next to Great
Britain in the number and extent of her
colonies and dependencies, and in the mat
ter of territorial extension she is fully as
aggressive. Africa has furnished a great
field for the operations of both, as well as
for Germany, Italy and Portugal. The par
tition and colonization of Africa by these
European powers will furnish great theme
for the future historian. The rapidity with
which the acquisitions of territory have
been made is astonishing. Not to speak of
earlier acquisitions, during the last ten
years France has annexed 100000 square
miles, Germany SAC, Co., Portugal 10000, Italy
$4,000, and Great Britain 1,95O,O0O AS the
figures show, it has been a close race be-
tween England and France which should
get the lions share, and the race is still on,
with great deal of unappropriated terri
tory yet to be occupied or annexed. Con-
sidering the vastness of the country, the
underlined condition of the boundaries of
different possessions and the aggressive
policy of both powers it is evident that
collision is not remote possibility. Recent
dispatches indicate that both are laying
claims to the territory or province of Borgu
by virtue of a treaty concluded with its
King. The native King, who does not seem
to be very well versed in international law,
semes to have made two treaties recognizing
the sovereignty, respectively, of each power.
England claims that her treaty was made
first, but France regards hers as the latest
expression, like later will, and therefore
valid. Both are disposed to assert their
claims, and both are sending troops into
the Borgu territory. A semi-official note
issued by the French government charges
that the British are sending officers to
Borgu to incite rebellion and distribute arms
to the natives while the British Colonial
Office says, IF the French persist in tres
passing complications will naturally arise"
AS matters look now there seems to be
pretty prospect of collision between the
two land-grabbers.

A CONTRAST.


The speech Of President Mckinley at the
banquet of the Commercial Club in Cincin-
natl Saturday night was an effort in every
way worthy of the chief magistrate of the
Nation. 1t is dignihed and patriotic ut
terance which every patriotic man must
approve, and which no partisan can con-
DENIM unless he takes exception to the clos
ing sentence, in which the President asserts
that the weak places in our financial system
should be remeded If any one objects to
this it is because he does not want a sound
monetary system. Such a dgnihed and
thoughtful utterance is no more than the
people have right to expect of William
Mckinley. He has always been a self-re-
specting man. All of his public addresses
have been those of a man who respects
himself and the intelligence of the people.
In this respect he furnishes a contrast to
Mr. Bryan, who aspires to the presidency
and is now the travelling agent of calamity

that no other man who has ever been Pres
ident of the United States or the nominee
of a prominent party would have conde-
seconded to do such a thing. Yet Mr.. Bryan
has been doing that sort of thing from
time to time during the past three months,
and he is said to have derived a considera-
BILE revenue therefrom. This is because at
middle age he has no profession or occupa-
ton, as have other men who have become
so prominent as to be party nominees for
President.
