To Raise Cattle.

Chicago, Sept. IA special to the Trib-
une from Kansas City, Mo-, says G. F.
Swift, the Chicago packer; Charles Coff-
man and c. T. Hall of this city, w. H.
Jennings and c. C. Clamp of San An
tonic, Tex, and H. Jennings and r. L..
Ellison of Fort Worth were in conference
here to-day examining the titles to a

Swift interests contemplate purchasing.
Among them is the Childress ranch in
the Panhandle of Texas, containing in
the neighborhood of 100000 acres and
upon which 10000 head of cattle are now
grazing. 1t was only few days ago
that the Swifts purchased the OKeefe

China Protests.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The imperial Chi
nese government, through it's minister
here, WI Ting Fang. has lodged with the
state department an emphatic protest
against the military order of General Otis
1t is understood that among the specific
points of protest submitted by the Chi
nese government Is one to the effect that
such an order Is a departure from the
announced purpose of the president of the
United States to maintain the present
status of affairs in the Philippines until
congress has determined phases of the
questions, which have been re-
ferred to Secretary Root. Owing
to his familiarity with interna-
tional law, he probably will consid-
er the subject broadly, both in its inter-
national as well as its military aspects.
General Otis order was issued some
time ago without direction from WASH
ington, and apparently as a military ne
cessity, although the Chinese protest
urges that there Is no such military ne
cessity. but on the contrary that the Chi
nese have rendered valuable military as
sistance. 1t is understood that the Chi
nese government regards the outcome of
this protest with much apprehension. 1t
is pointed out that the Chinese have been
long established in the Philippines and
that considerable branch of the indus
try of the Islands Is conducted by them
and that this complete termination of h
long established communication between
China and the Philippines injured these
people both personally and materially.
