Cattle on the Farm.

The surprising disclosures made by
The Times yesterday, in which it was
shown that cattle are actually going
from Pittsburg westward to supply the
market in that direction, is only an
other sign that the big cattle ranges of
the plains have ceased to be the fac
! tors they once were in the production
of meat. The plains would be all
right if they had water, but where
| thousands of acres are destitute of
water, and where the only supply is in
stream fed by the mountain SHOWS,
the scarcity OF streams limits the num-
Der of cattle that may be fed The
East is well watered and therefore the
number of cattle that can be grazed
is almost without limit. But the
plains have never afforded the princi-
pal meat supply. The census of 1890
shows that the bulk of cattle then were
east of ,ne Missouri river, the farm
being by far the chief source of supply.
In 1890, Iowa, a strictly farming state,
grazed 4,S95,000 cattle, and was exceed
ed by Texas alone, with 6,201 900, and
Texas is both agricultural and range
land. All that vast territory west of
Kansas and Texas, including the
Mountain States and the Pacific slope,
grazed fewer cattle than Texas alone,
and not many more than Iowa alone.
The truth IS chat the Now England
and Middle States, trifling in area as
compared witch the vast region west of
Kansas, grazed as many cattle as all
of the Mountain States and the Paci-
fic country. New York had more cattle
in 1890 than California, Oregon and
Washington combined, exceeded those
of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Ne
vada, Idaho and Wyoming. The cattle
country, leaving out Texas, commences
in New York and sweeps westward to
Kansas and Nebraska. Kansas and
Nebraska have 5,OOOO 900 cattle between
them. Missouri and Illinois have 20
per cent more. Virginia has more
cattle an Wyoming, Montana or Col
oradO, and West Virginia is net far be-
hind either of those Mountain States.
Connecticut has more cattle than Utah.
Maine grazes more than Arizona. From
this it will be seen that the meat is
made on the farms, and much of it on
the farms of the East. If there Is a
rise in the price of meat the farmer is
getting the benefit of it, and the range
man cuts d. small figure in comparison.
The census is authority for the state
ment that only about per cent Of the
cattle of the country are on the ranges.
The rest are on the farms.--Pittsburg

Decadence of the National
Game.

In recent interview, President Ban
Johnson, of the Western League of
Baseball Clubs, remarked that to the
thoughtful mind it is plainly evident
the great national game has to a GER
tain degree lost its hold upon the pub
| lie
There can be no doubt of the truth
of President Johnson's lament At
tendance at the baseball games in
many cities has, during the last two
years, fallen off perceptibly, notwlth-
standing conditions which were re-
garded as the most favorable for the
sport existed. There are doubtless
many reasons for this apparent loss of
interest in the game. 1t cannot be said
that the national game itself has ret
regarded There has never been a
higher standard set upon the skill and
aptitude of players than now, and the
sport has never been so free of rowdy-
ism or Objectionable features.
Can it be that the game has been
made too scientific Some have con-
tended that this tendency has spoiled
the sport in the eyes of the public;
that here is too little batting and base
running to satisfy the average specta-
tor. This may be true, in a small
measure but it does not apply to those
who follow the national game closely,
the so-called base ball fans" Small
scores and close games, which may be
turned one way or the other by the
science of the game, only serve to in
tensify the interest.
1t must be evident to those who are
familiar with the history of the nat
ional game that it received its first
great impetus from the friendly rival
ry between the towns and cities which
possessed ball clubs. This rivalry,
which inspires the desire to always see
the home team win, has furnished the
real spirit of the game. The attempt to
place the basball teams of the great
cities under the control of syndicate
has had a strong tendency to destroy
the existing rivalry, and the result has
been an appreciable decline in public
interest The elimination of all ri
valry has robbed the game of its spirit,
and this is the decadance of which
baseball managers and enthusiasts
now lament
Syndicate control of baseball clubs
means certain ruin to the national
game. A return to the old traditions
is the only thing chat will prevent it
falling into general disrepute.-Ohio

A New Method Of Drying
Clothes.

Housewives who are Obliged to dry
their clothes in patent indoor driers,
heated by steam, complain that they
do not come from the wash as fresh
and sweet as when they are dried by
the sunshine and breezes of country
back yard An enterprlsing laundry
in Paris has met this objection in a
novel way. 1t has provided captive
balloon, below which are suspended a
number of bamboo frames. Clothes
are first rough dried and then attached
to the balloon, which carries a great
quantity of clothes high into the air,
above the smoke and dust Here there
is always good breeze blowing and
the air is full of ozone. The captive bal
loon makes six ascensions daily, and a
small extra charge is made by the
laundry for the goods dried in this
way.-Chicago Tribune.

No Further Parleying.

The work of parleylng with Aguin-
aldo has ended The head of the Phil
ippine commission is in the United
States, and the rest of the members of
that body have been ordered to return
to this country. This course of the ad-
minlstTation is somewhat different
from what the commission expected
Preparations had been made by its
members for a stay in tIe islands of
several months longer at least, but this
order cuts chat programme short. All
tie commissioners in the island will
be on the road hom in a few days,
and the business o. dealing with the
rebels VIA be left to the army alone
This disposition of things will give
entire satisfaction to the people of the
United States. The commission learn
ed something of the conditions in the
Islands. 1t had interviews with Ag-
uinaldo's chief emissaries, talked with
representative Filipinos, who are con-
nected w,,n the rebellion, went around
among the principal foreign residents
OF the Luzon, and doubtless made a
study of the economic and social con-
ditions in the islands, at least in
rudimentary way. The information
which it has gained will probably be
of some of some service to the admin
istration and to Congress. 1t will all
he spread before the people in some
shape, and add a little to the popular
knowledge of the situation.
But the commission did nothing to-
ward fastening the end of the war. II
probably, on the other hand, length
ened the war for the Filipinos, like all
Orientials, are apt to look at conces-
slons explanations and intercessions
as a sign o. weakness and fear on the
part OF the person or people making
them. When the commission was sent
out to the islands Aguinaldo doubtless
felt that the Americans were ready to
surrender and leave the archipelago.
This delusion was probably strength
enei by the patience with which the
commission paltered with Agulnaldos
representatives, and by the ease with
which it was deluded by their preten-
sions and promises. During the time
in which all this palavering was going
on the movements OF Otis army was
necessarily suspended, and Aguinaldo
had time to rally his shattered and
dispirited followers. Thus the com
mission did, unintentionally and un-
consciously, a good deal of harm to the
American cause The administration
OF course, is not to blame for this
fiasco of the commissioners. The stu
alton was new, and Americans never
had any extensive dealings with ORR
entails under those conditions along to
that time. The experience will not be
lost on the government. Meanwhile
the ostensible peacemakers will be out
OF the way, and The real pacifcators,
the army of Gen. Otis, will have free
hand. Dark days will open for Agu-
inaldo In the United States, as soon as
the campaigning season begins a few
weeks hence, and the order for the
general advance goes forth.-GlObe

Since August 1897.

New York, April 27.-Silver certificates
representing 10000 ounces sold on the

cents. The price of commercial bar sill
Yer was 63A cents.
The last time GA cents was reached for
silver was in August, 1897. Bullion deal
ers call the advance in certificates spec

While a difference of opinion exists as
to whether the movement is being en-

1T WILL PUT ON
NEW STEAMERS

Chicago, April 27.-The Chronicle says:
Officers of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad have about decided to put on
q line of tranS-Pacific steamers to ply be-
tween San Francisco and the Orient The
company is now planning to open its new
line into the metropolis of the coast July
1 and it is in connection with this road
that the new boat line is to be inaugu-
rated. Several months ago the Santa
Fe opened a trans Pacific route from San
Diego and the service has proved sue
cessful. Instead of adding more steam
ers to the San Diego service it has been
thought best to put on second line to
run from San Francisco. The new line
will in no way interfere with the one al
ready established the second one being
auxiliary to the first. One of the Pacific
steamship companies has awarded con-
tracts to the Cramps for the construction
of four new passenger and freight steam
ers of 5000 tons capacity each and two or
all of these vessels may be used by the
Santa Fe. Just how the new line will be
operated has not yet been determined.
1t is said that the Santa Fe company may
ers now building. If this is not done,
they may be run by the railroad under a
lease When the Santa Fe's new rail line
is finished it will be the first and only
to run through trains over its
own tracks between Chicago and san
Francisco.

REVIEW OF The
METAL TRADE

New York April 27--Reviewing the iron
and steel trade conditions the Iron Age
will say today: Some large movements
are progressing in the steel trade, which
may have an important effect upon the
future of the industry in this country.
1t is understood that the National Steel
company has secured control of the in
terests of H. w. Oliver of the Oliver Iron
Mining company, who operates the Car
negie- Oliver leases of Lake Superior iron
mines. Mr.. oliver has a sixth interest in
these with the exception of the nom
Bessemer ores. Report has it that the
ore is taken by the National company
on the basis of $3.50 lower lake port for
two years. The Oliver Mining company
has just acquired also the property and
six vessels of the Lake Superior Iron
company on the Marquette range, the
price is said to have been $3,000,000.
The report that the closely affiliated
National Tinplate and Steel Hoop COM
panies would consolidate into one COM
pa<y is officially denied. An important
enterprise is the building of a very large
steel plant at Pttsburg, Walter Scranton
representing the steel and the transpor-
tation interests being identified with it.
There is a good deal of talk of additional
steel plants in the Birmingham district.
On the whole the iron trade has had
quiet week, but the markets continue eX-
ceedingly strong with only an occasional
suggestion of nervousness. The most i'm
event in the Pittsburg district
has been the purchase for PittSburg and
Youngstown delivery of about II, GOO to
$4,000 tons of southern Gray Forge iron
at SO so Birmingham (Ala).
In steel billetS we note a sale of about
90 900 tons from tidewater plants to wire
plants and as indicating the situation in
the west, a sale of 10000 tons from the
district for Cleveland delivery.
Comparatively little has been done in
material lately. We note the
placing of 5000 tons of bridge work in
Chicago for the Chicago e. Alton road, |
while in eastern Pennsylvania a good
deal of work is being figured on which
will require steel plates 1t is of inter |
est that negotiations are pending for a |
large amount of material for export work |
with good chances of ultimate success |
The pipe mills have decided to quote a |
uniform price of 60 per cent and four |
tenths and five on merchant pipe. There
Is an order in the market for Is miles Of |
Inc pipe. The eastern bar mills are en-
ioying an exceptionally heavy run of re-
work
Copper and tin have advanced material
v during the week, while spelter has gone
10 further with ore selling above $50 a
on in the Joplin district. Nothing definite
s to be taken in the Bigelow properties,
he Anaconda and certain small Standard
Oil mines.

might seem that definite colonial policy

American people will have to settle that
themselves though, and will unques-
do so when the proper time comes for
settlement to be made. The United
States has taken a certain position be-
fore the whole world, and is big enough
and strong enough to maintain it of it's

soon, and will be hailed with delight by
