Secretaries Hay and AtSer at the De-
partislents.
Although business was generally sus-
pended in all the uptown departments today
in observance Of the Christmas holiday,
several of the higher officials found it neces-
sary to spend several hours in their offices
during the course of the day. Secretary
Hay was the first of the number to appear
at the department. He arrived before 10
o'clock and remained at his desk until
after noon. He said that he had no
news of Importance and that he had merely
come TO the office TO dispose of some press
ing correspondence.
Another early arrival was Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin, who has just returned TO the
city from brief visit to his daughter al
Irvington-on-theH Hudson. He spent the bet

SHIPMENTS FALLING OFF.
Decrease in the CanaIian-Eritisli
Cattle Trade.


Commercial Agent Gustave Beute,spacher
has made a report to the State Department
showing a decrease in, the Canadian British
cattle trade. He says the British market
for Canadian cattle has not been satisfac-
tory this season TO Canadian shippers
though freight rates and fodder have been
cheaper. The total number of cattle ship
ped was 1o12S1 head, of which 5,719 We're
United States stock shipped in bond. The
total number of cattle is 20 1870 less than
last season.
1t is pointed out that, apart from the poor
market, one of the reasons for the falling
off in shipments was the fact that United
States buyers have purchased quite heavily
in Canadian markets, the stock being ship
ped via American ports. 1t also appears
from Official statistics that the sheep trade
is in the same bad condition. The ship
ments for the season We're "a ,991 head,
showing a decrease of 2G, 26:5, as compqred
with 1897, and a decrease of 1850 from
1886. This branch of the live stock trade
has fallen away fully 10 per cent within
the past three years.
The export of horses for the past season
also shows a decrease of about 30 per cent
as compared with 1887. The total ship
mentS for the season of 1898 amounted to
5,S22 head, showing a decrease of ,226
compared with 1897, and of 4,203 from 1886

When asked in regard to the way the

Speaking of the reception of the COM

Our intercourse with the Spanish COM

Uncertain as to Senate Feeling.
Senator Davis said he had not seen any
Of his colleagues in the Senate since his
return, with the exception of Senator Nell

in that body was IN regard to the treaty.
He said he hoped the treaty would bs dis

would not be necessary.

Tho sixth game of tho match between Pills
bury and shownlter was played yesterday at the
Postal Telegraph building. Another P-o4 was
played by Showaltor. but after his sixth move
the Rame widely differed from tho fourth OF the
match, although similarly resulting. Yester-
day. on his seventh turn, white castled instead
of bringing out his queens knight. Pillsbury
did the same. and at least six moves earlierthan
in tho previous queens pawn opening.
Black at once began to push forward his oKt
and Q d pawns, which resulted in o break Of the
pawns at tho eleventh move, Plllsbury coming
out Of the opening with two bishops to Showal-
ters knight and bishop, but being left With an
isolated Q II pawn. His q b pawn then became
q mark for Shownlter'5 attack, and, when the
pressure on IL exceeded blacks means. OF de-
fence, Pillsbury abandoned IL to gain whites q
kt pawn as compensation for its loss.
The play at this point, however, resulted
In such a Wholesale exchange OF. pieces
that only q rock and bishop and equal
pawns remained to each, and as the bishops
were of opposite color little available foroo to-
wnrd forcing q win was left either side. White,
however, had an advantage of position, having
secured an entrance for his rock on Its seventh
row, but whom dislodged by blacks King moth.
