PATRIOTIC ENTHUSIASM.
Senator Cannon Visits Wounded Sol.

Surprised at Their Bravery.

Senator Cannon, of Utah, has just re-
turned from a visit of inspection at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, and to Gen. Lees
army corps at Jacksonville, where he
has a brother, Lieut.. Col Cannon, OF
Torrey's riders. Senator Cannon says:
II have never seen any thing like the
patriotic enthusiasm of the wounded
soldiers . at Fort MCPHERSON The
wounded Of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry, which came from Fort Douglas,
Utah, and who participated in the bat
tie Of San Juan, are there, and the offs

CATTLE DYING IN AUSTRALIA.
RuinOus to Ranchers in the
Island Continent.

Advices from Australia state that
the tick plague is playing terrible
havoc with cattle. More widespread
and ruinous is the result than will ever
be told to the outside world. Like the
drought last summer, which killed
countless thousands of sheep by star
Walton, the tick plague is spreading
alarmingly. Scores of inspectors have
been appointed by every colony to
keep travelling through wide districts,
quarantine all affected territory, and
kill diseased cattle. These inspectors
are flooding the government with re-
ports of "ticlzed up" districts, and the
press of the country has become much
alarmed and is calling for still more
vigorous efforts to stamp it out. OFF,
cial reports state that the tick fever
is becoming more virulent and that all
cattle attacked die. A large number
Of districts are now "ticked up" which
means that no meat can be sold from
them. 1t is a great hardship to ranch
.ers, causing much suffering in many
communities.

well as far as Freeman, a little groun

precarious living by selling water at
tenScents a glass. Their next station
was to Desert wells, 80 miles away,
where there was supposed to be an
abundance lt OF water, and they did not
take a8large supply with them. When
they reac hed Desert wells, however,
they found the water filled with dead
animals and utterly worthless for man
orebeast. A little water remained in
their canteens and this they divided
with their horses. The heat and dust
had been very trying and all were
nearly choked., There was nothing to
do but push on through the sand
towards the. higher lands, where the
mining mi ng camps are located. So forward
they toiled, through the fine borax
dust, into which their wagon wheels
sank to the hubs. At II o'clock in the
forenoon their horses were unable to
drag the wagon a rod further They
mounted and tried to make the re-
manning ten miles on horseback, but
the beasts could not go. There was no
alternative but to foot it. They start
ed, and in eight hours managed to
traverse the ten miles between Desert
wells and Spring Water canyon, where
they arrived nearly dead from thirst
and heat exhaustion.

NoW that the war with Spain has come
to close, every one wants to know what

and also what will be the expense of

these questions in the Review of Reviews
for September. His timely article also
describes the financial operations of the
Government for nesting these enormous

England's Friendship for America
Not Wholly Unselfsh.
AT Every Turn of Affairs It Has Beer
shown That Clos Association
Was Mutually Advnn- N
taEeous. I'll 5y53s

The London correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says: &.
There is solid basis of self-interest
underneath the good feeling existing
between England and America. Each
country, while Indirectly helping the
other, promotes directly it's own in
terests and policies. This is the ele-
mentary fact which explains the
rapid development of friendly rela-
tions between the two countries since
the settling Of the war cloud over Cuba
They have been acting togetheri in an
amiable spirit, and at every turn OF at
fairs experience has proved that close
association was mutually advantage
GUS Good feeling steadily increases
when on each side the practical bene-
fits of mutual good will are perceived.
The first good service which England
rendered to America was that OF
thwarting European combination
for friendly mediation between Spain
and the United States. The real OBJ
ject of the continental powers was to
establish European concert respect
ing Cuba, by which the Monroe doc
trine would have been upset. Austria
Hungary initiated the intrigue;
France supported it, carrying Russia
with her; Germany assented to it, with
the proviso that the. cooperation of
England should be secured, and Italy
would not have remained outside the
concert if it had been formed. The
plot failed because Great Britain,
owing largely to the good Judgment of
Mr.. Arthur Balfour and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, declined to take part in
a coalition which might be, embarrass-
ing to the Washington government.
The second service which England
was enabled to perform for America
was that of ordering Admiral Dewey's
fleet out of Hong-Kong under a strict
construction of neutrality obligations.
The fleet being without naval base or
coaling station made a descent upon
Manila, destroyed the Spanish squad
ron and held the Philippines as SCI
curity for the payment of war in
demnity after the close of hostilities.
Whenever England is drawn into a
navalwar the precedent will be of great
utility to her government, and it will
be a source of embarrassment to any
power whom she may be fighting on
the high seas.
The appearance of Admiral Camara's
squadron at Port Said offered fresh
illustration of the fact that England in
indirectly aiding the United States is
working out her own policies with
signal success. Lord Cromer is the
master of Egypt, and the Suez canal is
the highway to India. British in
terests require, first, that the canal
shall remain open in peace and war to
the fleets Of all nations; and, second,
that there shall be no ~coaling facili-
ties at either end for belligerent ships.
