WANTS A MILLION
For Losses Occurring Through the
Spanish Censorship

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Vice- -Presi-
dent Thomas F. Clark of the Western
Union Telegraph Company has returned
from Washington, where for the last few
days he has been laying before the ad-
ministration facts that may involve a
complication with Spain. Mr.. Clark is
now at the head of Western Union af-
fairs. President Eckert is on sick leave
in the West and Mr.. Clark has taken his
place. Long before Gen. Eckert went
away the directors of the company had
decided they had a cause for complaint
against the Spanish government for the
manner in which the authorities in Ha-
vana had interfered with the workings
If the cable between Havana and Key

The Western Union people have not
yet come to an exact determination of
the amount Of damages they have sus-
tanned, but the figures will not fall short
Of $500, 900 and it may reach as high as
81 900, 900. One of Mr.. Clark's purposes
in going to Washington was to insist
that the Mckinley administration make
formal demand upon the government
at Madrid for payment Of the damage:
in full.
The company claims the official censor
has caused great loss to it in busi-
ness, both in commercial business ant
newspaper matter. AS result of Mr.
Clark's mission to Washington, it Is un
derstood that the administration ha:
prepared and will promptly forward al
urgent protest to the Spanish govern

THE AMERICAN HORSE
MAY FIND BUYERS IN MARKETS
OF EUROPE
Low Prices Have Driven Breeders Out
of Business While the Foreign
Demand Increases

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE con-
vention of the American Livestock
Feeders and Freeders assembled here
today There were fully 200 delegates in
the hall, and it is estimated that another
hundred arrived this evening.
Bishop Gilbert delivered the invoca-
ton. Chairman Schmuier. who has
been at the head of the committee in
charge of the management, delivered a
brief address. Mayor Doran and Gov.
Clough greeted the convention.
w. ]. Berry of Chicago, in the ad-
dress of the morning on The Expoit t
Horse-How to Breed" gave it as his
own opinion, as we'll as that of expert
horsemen everywhere, that this coun-
try will soon witness a horse famine.
The ruinous prices of the past few years
had driven farmers and breeders out of
business. In the states which had long
been famous for their fine horses the
number of tirst-class animals was not
one-tenth what it was before the fall
in price. 1t was now the hardest kind
of work to pick up the best class of
horses. In the meantime the foreign
demand for American horses was grow
ing. All the markets were crowded
with foreigners looking for first-class
animals The American horse industry
would soon be foremost among the
branches of agriculture if the farmers
would give it attention. 1t is laid with
in the power of horse breeders in this
country to cultivate the foreign de-
mand for the American horse until it
builds up trade which could never be
taken away from them, and in which
millions of money might be made. He
did not advise every farmer to go into
horse raising, but for those who had the
necessary education and a fancy for that
branch of stock raising it was most
promising field. Five classes of horses
were demanded for export:
First, a we'll bred coach horse sec
ond. a cab horse; third. the omnibus
horse: fourth. the draft horse. and fifth,
the American trotter. The address was
followed by discussion.
A committee on credentials was ap-
pointed.
W. H. Anderson of Chicago present
ed a resolution calling for a closer in
spection of imported horses and it was
adopted.

Union Pacific Affairs

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE intervention
of the unsecured creditors of the insol-
vent Union Pacific railway at the last mo-
ment has prevented the sale of the SIX
teen million of securities which was set
for tomorrow. The sale has been post
poned until January 26th, but there is
possibility that on account of the move
made today in the United States circuit
court it will not take place even them The
unsecured creditors filed motion to show
cause why the sale of the securities should
not be stopped. Argument on the applica-
tion took place today, and at its close
Judge Lacombe announced that he would
most likely render a decision on the mo-
ton next Saturday, which it is believed
will amend the bill of sale in several i'm
portant particulars.
