TEXAS WATCHING
THE CATTLE DEAL
Officials Say Law Must
Not Be Violated.
NEW ACT PROHIBITS TRUSTS
BUT THE SYNDICATE PROCEEDS
IN SECURING OPTIONS.
Prominent Stockmen of the Opinion
That the Combine Will Benefit
the Great Industry of
the Lone Star State.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 26.-Attorney Gen
eral T. S. Smith stated to-day that he
would keep his eye on the gigantic syndi-
cate that is now seeking to get control
of all the cattle in Texas. Under the pro
visions of the antitrust law of the State
the livestock industry is exempt, but there
is no such exemption in the new anti
trust law which goes into effect January
81 1900. If the present combination of
capital that is securing options on all the
available cattle and ranches in Texas is
in the nature of a trust within the mean
ing of the new and far-reaching antitrust
act, and should it be in operation when
the law becomes effective, it will meet
with a vigorous prosecution at the hands
of the State.
1t is the opinion of prominent stockmen
that the operations of the syndicate will
be of benefit to the cattle industry and
that it will be impossible for them to
freeze out the cattlemen, who will prott
by the raise in prices. Should the syndl-
cate be successful in its present negoua-
tons 1t is the intention to stock up its
ranches to the limit and by concentra-
ton of effort to handle the stock on
more economical basis than is being done
According to reliable information OBJ
tanned here to-day, the great syndicate
ranches and cattle of the following ex-
tensive stockmen of the Panhandle coun-
try: Johnson Brothers, c. c. Slaughter,
Winfield Scott, Crowder Brothers, r. G..
and a number of other Smaller ranchmen.
The aggregate number of cattle owned by
the foregoing stOclkmen is about 800 600
head or nearly one-siXth of the estimated
total number of cattle in the State.
Governor ]. D. Sayers received the fol-
lowing reply to-day to the invitation to
attend the proposed antitrust conference
to be held in st. Louis September 20, from
Governor Henry T. Gage of California:
Il would like very much to be with you
on the occasion referred to, when the i'm
portant question of trusts will be under
consideration, but am so circumstanced
that it will be impossible for me to at
tend. I trust that much good may be
evolved from the conference"
Governor w. D. Blancham Of Florida
writes II have had a conversation with
the Attorney General and hope that he
will be able to be with you at st. Louis
to take into consideration the objects set
forth in your communication. 1t is i'm
possible for me to determine now whether
| can be with you or not. However, if
the Attorney General is there every pur-
pose will be subserved.'

MARKET OPENED TO
CALIFORNIA TUBERS
Golden State Must Supply the Army
in the Philippines With
pofatOeC

LOS ANGELES, June 26.-Commercial
circles are considerably fiurried over the
prevailing condition in the potato market.
The crop of Southern California promises
to be large and is rapidly maturing. Tu-
bers are of good growth and fine quality.
The furry arises from the extraordinary
demand that has developed for exporta-
ton to the Philippines. The potato crop
in far Eastern American possessions Is
limited AS California and the Pacific
Coast States will be compelled to supply
the deficiency in the islands, an unusual
export demand has developed.
The feeding of $4,000 American soldiers
in the Philippines is a matter of deep
concern to the commissary department
1t is understood that Woolf & Co. of San
Francisco will, as they did last year, ship
under Government contract hundreds Of
tons of potatoes to Manila during 1899
A number of orders for shipment to the
north have been Cancelled. Ten carloads
have been shipped from Los Angeles In
the past few days. Woolf & Co, will for
ward shipload of potatoes to Manila
this week. The demand for potatoes also
extends to Portland Or, owing to the
poor condition of the crop in that State
The lateness of the season there. together
with recent rains, did more damage to
the potato crop than was expected.

the Shamrock was safely berthed in the
upper basin. where her spars are lying.
Sir Thomas Upton, who was in high
spirits, was asked a question regarding
the prospects of the yacht, and he said:
I'VE have engaged to win back the Amer
icas cup. We have fairly extended our
selves, and if we are beaten all can say
is, honor to the yacht which is better than
the Shamrock"
William Fife Jr., designer Of the Sham
rock remarked: Brains and all that care
full thought and knowledge of naval archi-
lecture can put into the yacht is there.
Every man of us is satisfied that with a
fair field We shall give a tight race TO any
opponent. The Shamrock goes around to
Southampton tomorrow or Wednesday
for Just those little arrangements that
racing experience gives. and then for the
journey which we hope will herald the
cup"
Admiral Beresford said: II consider the
hull of the Shamrock TO be remarkable
triumph of construction. She is built on
original lines. In the water she is not so
striking as out of 1t. In my opinion her
underwater construction is unique. Her
apparent great beam is necessary to sat
isfy the tremendous sea of canvas. II IS
impossible to forecast the prospects. Take
the case Of the Meteor, which is an oid
craft, yet she is racing with great sue
cess The Shamrock's designer and build
er have proceeded on the soundest lines
for lightness and speed, and if she is not
the sWiftest afoat l shall be surprised.
But we must recollect that the Americans
know a good craft, and we can depend
that their invention will run us hard"

MEANS THE RETIREMENT
OF SECRETARY ALGER
It Is Predicted That the Head Of the
War Department Will Join in
Attacking Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-Governor
Pingree's bitter attack upon the Presi-
dent, following close upon his Senatorial
alliance with Secretary Alger, means, in
the opinion of public men here. the GER
tain retirement of the Secretary from the
Cabinet. The prediction is made that Mr..
Alger will within short time be attack
ing President Mckinley as bitterly as
Governor PIngree is now doing.
Il stand by my own statements. 1 must
decline to discuss newspaper reports of
views credited to Governor Pingree," was
Secretary Ayers reply when shown Gov
ernor Pingrees interview stating his po-
sition with referepce to President McKin-
ley.
Although the Secretary announced pos
itively i'll an interview yesterday that he
had no intention of leaving the Cabinet,
his friends are apprehensive that he will
be forced to take such action as the result
Of his alliance with Michigan's Governor.
When President Mckinley returns to
Washington the Secretary will, it is pre-
sumed, have a frank talk with him re-
garding the combination he has made with
Mr.. Pingree, and 1t is believed the ques-
ton of his retention in the Cabinet will be
determined at that conference.

BRUSSELS, June 26.-The Revue Gen.
erale, a well-known Belgian magazine,
patronized by most Of the leaders of the
Catholic party, has consented to publish
a violent onslaught on Archbishop Ire
land by the French clerical writer, RI
cault d'Hericault. The writer finds Mon
signor Ireland much too advanced. He
says:
.'The American Archbishop recently
came to France as a commercial traveller
of revolutionary ideas. The French Cath
olics were struck at hearing a foreigner
pretending to teach them how they were
to behave themselves, and at the real
scandal caused by this successor of the
apostles. We offer our congratulations to
France upon having become a Free Ma
sonic republic, which exiles some of its
priests and sends others into the army,
and closes converts. Many French pre-
lates looked upon Ireland as a savage.
He has been truly described as a bomb
shell"
The article, couched in coarse language,
is causing quite a scandal.
