TIME FOR TRADING HORSES.
1t has been said that steam, electricity ana
motor power has taken the place of the horse.
This is most absurd idea while steam and,
electricity has taken the place of the horse
to some extent, the export trade has come In
since that time. Business is increasing
throughout our country, and the demand for
good horses is increasing, and IS larger now
than ever before. since our country was
settled, and 1t will increase for many years
TO come. Never was there a better time TO
commence breeding good horses than today.
Good horses are scarce, and there Is not
nearly enough to supply the demand. The

for the year 1S9S which far exceeds any
previous year More horses were marketed
in 1898 and a stronger demand in all Amer
lean markets than ever was known before
the trade is heavier all around, and in my
opinion will be much heavier in 1899. While
the market horses have become scarce, there
. is still a supply Of the small. ordinary and
unstable horses, ard as the good horses get
short. they will have to take the lower grade,
and the lower grades will be in a better de-
mand the coming year than last year.
There is going to be great shortage of
horses for the next five years. and good

ventional but forceful style of oratory
held the attention of his hearers
throughout. Once he was interrupted
by Mr.. Tillman, of South Carolina. Mr..
Mason had said that war with the
Filipinos was likely within ten days
Mr.. Tfllnlan inquired:
Il want to know by what authority
the president will begin that war? I'm
til the treaty of peace has been rati-
fled, and the ceSsion Of the Philippines

Mr.. Gallinger expressed regret that

At the conclusion of Mr.. Mason's
speech he was accorded the usual COM
pliment in the senate of cordial con-
gratuations from many of his col
leagues and members of the house Of
representatives who had heard the
speech.
Mr.. Kyle IS. d. secured the passage
of a bill for the construction of a
bridge across the Missouri river at

Mr.. Bacon (Ga-) secured the passage
of a bill for the construction Of

Mr.. Turley was then recognized to
speak on the Nicaragua canal bill. He
announced himself as an advocate of
a canal, but said he was opposed to the
pending bill. He based his objection
largely upon the fact that the Clayton

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-The United

zen. Wood said his visit here was in
response to telegram from the secre-
tary OF war. received on the day he
lett Santiago. What was REQUIRED Of
him by the government was only con-
Jectural. At the time he left Santiago
everything was quiet, and the affairs
OF the province and city in the hest
condition.
When shown the dispatch stating
that Gen. Brooke had expressed aston
lshment that Gen. Wood had permitted
a demonstration at Santiago against
the order concentrating customs at
Havana he declared that If such a.
dispatch had been sent by Gen Brooke
to Washington Gen. Brooke was labor
Ing under a mistake. No such demon

he intended to take the first train
available for Washington and hoped to
return to Santiago by the transport

DR.. Joaquin Castillo, who was a pas

panying Gen. Wood, is bound TO
Washington as representative of the
Santiago board of trade and the busi-
ness community generally IN the GUS
toms matter. DR.. Castillo declined to
talk about his mission, but gave some
interesting facts about the Santiago
matter. He said that as against the
monthly customs receipts at present
in Santiago formerly they were about
$4,000 or less than half, though the
present tariff is mostly under the third
class, while the Spanish tariff. rigidIy
stuck to the high charges under the
first class. No more imports were re-
ceived now, may be not so much, but
all imports now paid their share of
the duty, instead of a great part be-
ing stolen, as formerly. In addition TO
the customs revenue. about $500 600
yearly is realized from the municipal
taxes at Santiago. He said that the
paving Of the streets of Santiago had
already begun in macadam and gran
lite, and later a great deal of asphalt
pavement is to be laid. He said there
were about a thousand Spanish soldiers
left in the province of Santiago, who
were employed in the mines between
Santiago and Guantanamo.
Asked as to the local government,
Dr. Castillo said it was working very
smoothly. and he thought in four or
five months time the people should
take it in their own hands. Gen. Wood
had appointed to Office generally the
! most popular men, who would, no
doubt, have been given the places had
the people the right Of election.
