says:
Investigation at the stock yards In

the American cattle market has there

meats as at the present time. The
demand for export cattle Is enormous
The statement is made that the prices
OF all cattle viii be higher next year

when all the thousands Of feeders find

THE BEST RECRUITING FIELD.
New England and Western States WIN
Be Called on For Men.

New England and Western States VIM
Be Called on For Men.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-It appears
from today's order that the ten regi-
ments are to be recuited in new Eng
land and the western states. Kansas
and Pennsylvania have apparently
been selected as the best field for re-
cruits. 1t is said that no special effort
is to be made to secure recruits in the
southern states. This is due, 1t is
said, to the experience of the officers
who operated in that quarter for re-
oruits for the ten volunteer regiments
just organized, The only places where
difficulty was experienced in securing
men was In Georgia, Alabama and the
Carolinas and the gulf states and the
two northwestern Pacific states.
The ten regiments organized under
the order Of July 9Th, have secured
their full quota except the Twenty
ninth at Fort Mcpherson, Ca; the
Thirty-third at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas; and the Thirty-ffth regiment
at Vancouver barracks, These reRi-
ments win be filled by use of the over
flow from the more successful regl-
ments,

PRICES AT NEW YORK
Advance Caused by Shipments Of
Large Quantities to England.

NEW YORK. Aug. liza represent
tative Of the firm Of Nelson, Morris &
Company, when asked as TO the cause
Of the rise in the price Of beef, said
to a World reporter:
THE advance here is caused by the
eff lrts of the American packers to
drive Australian beef from the Eng
lish markets and establish American
beef instead. We want that business
and in order to secure it we are ship
ping immense quantities Of beef to
England.
Just now the business abroad is
being carried on at a heavy loss be-
cause we are cutting prices to kin
competition.
The consequence is that the export
Of American beef is very much heavier
than ever before. Naturally under
these conditions thre is less beef for
the home trade. although there are as
many cattle for the market as ever.
There is no real shortage in market
able cattle. all the reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The receipts
at the yards In Kansas City. Omaha
ami Chicago yesterday were large.
"The foreign demand being very
heavy as 1 explained. the prices to
cattle dealers as well as to butchers.
are high. The packers are not reaping
any great rewards. The recent heavy
shipments TO the cattle yards may ease
the strain a little, but do not look for
lower prices.
"The remedy for complaining butch,
ers is simple. They must raise prices.
1 have not heard any complaint from
consumers. The butchers are COM
planning and they must work out their
salvation by getting more money for
their beef.
They must get together and keep
up their prices with the gneral advance
If they really want to protect them
selves"

mony Of General Roget made a visi-
bly, profound impression on the court.
II must be remembered that all the
members Of the courtmartiai are grad

from early youth have been imbued
with respect for military authority
and prestige amounting 20 religion.
II should also be remembered tho
General Roget, although not employed

10 the first Dreyfus courtmartial in
1894. was former sub-chlef Of the bur-
eau Of the general stan, and that
Dreyfus served under his immediate
orders and supervision. General Roget
turned toward Dreyfus this morning.
AMI. in a ringing voice. with unhlnch-
ing glance, said; "Dreyfus has de-
MED any knowledge Of plans Of con-
centration Of troops In case Of moblli-
zation; but Dreyfus. himself. in 1893
drew three maps. showing the zones
OF concentration Of the French army.
These maps are in the Fourth bureau
Of the general stan"
"Dreyfus made no reply. but turned
and spoke to Matire Demange. Cen
eral Roget again turning ferociously
upon Dreyfus. said;
"r'reyfus denied having any knowl-
edge Of the manual OF arms, but In

evidence tending 10 connect Dreyfus
with them Is Of vital Importance. The
prisoners face flushed with excltment
as he declared: 1T is frightful to be
compelled for Ave days TO listen TO such
charges without being able to defend
myself. 1t is veritable torture to an
innocent man"
His face became llvid and waxen;
he appeared more nervous and dis
heartened than at any previous period
OF the trial. Maitre Demange seemed
embarrassed by his failure to secure
an adjournment until Monday and
either from inability or want Of mast
cry Of the facts. made no attempt by
cr1ss questions. as Maitre Labori
would doubtless have done. to sift out
the truth Of General Roget's testimony
which. like that OF MercIer, Billot. and
Cavaignac. is an impassioned pleading
for the prosecution. All the rest Of
General Rogets evidence was violent
and irrelevant diatribe against Col
onel Picquart.
General Mereier, In civilian dress,
and General Zurllnden and General
Billot in uniform. seemed immensely
pleased when Nine. Henry testified
that she had had no knowledge OF the
person whom her late husband referred
to in his famous last letter to her,
when he said: You know in whose
interests acted" A galaxy Of gen.
eral officers congratulated Nine. Henry
when she descended from the witness
stand and from their radiant faces. it
could be read that they regarded
Dreyfus' condemnation as a foregone
conclusion.

FinancicrS Fear War.

New York, Sept. PA special dispatch
to the Tribune from London says: The
correspondence between Sir Alfred Mil
ner and President Steyn strengthens the
current belief here that today's cabinet
council will decide to send out from 10, 600
to 10000 additional troops to South Africa
and caves all questions Of diplomacy open
until their arrival. Meanwhile the Orange
Free States leaders and the Afrikander-
ound Will bestir themselves to keep peace
between England and the Transvaal and
VIII nave the best wishes of the English
conservatives, like Sir Edward Clarke,
who are hoping that war may be averted.
Leading financiers in the city are con-
WINGED that war is inevitable, since Meth
err President Kruger nor Mr.. Chamber
lain can retreat with honor and there is
no other way out of it. That is the COM
monest expression heard in Lombard
street, that each side has gone too far to-
turn back and hence there is nothing to
do but fight it out. An experienced
banker remarks that the government here
is waiting to put all the reinforcements
ashore and the Beers are holding back for
rain, which will give water n grass or
the veldt for their cavalry and that in
the course of six weeks there will be a
quick three weeks campaign.
Mr.. Chamberlain will provide a draft
of an alternative policy when the cabinet
meets and his friends assert that it will
turn on the pivot of the paramount au-
thority of the British government in
South Africa. Rumors that the Trans
vaal government will be asked to disarm
and abandon its ines of fertilization in
Pretoria and Johannesburg are prema-
ture, but not u~nfounded. Mr.. Chamber
lain keeps his W counsel and shows no
sign by which the next movement in the
game can be anticipated,

THREE STEAM L.AJNDhlES.

The prospects for getting washing done
cheap if cut rates are made in Anaconda
are good if the establishment of rival
steam laundries is any criterion. Ana
conda has only one steam laundry nov
in operation. The Montana Steam Laun-
dry, which suspended a short time ago,
or rather stopped their machinery ana
began doing their work in conjunction
with the Anaconda Steam Laundry as a
matter of economy, has been sold to
Wills & Gnose, the East Commercial
street merchants. The bill of sale was
made out today and placed on file in the
office of the county clerk and recorder.
The machinery of this laundry is at the
old stand at 316 East Park avenue and
could be started VI at a moments no
tice.
Mr.. Gnose, one of the purchasers, said
this morning hat he did not know when
it would be operated but at a not far dis
tant date, but when started up it would
be run upon a first class plan. From an
other source 1t is learned that some par
ties whose names cannot be learned will
start a third laundry. the machinery be-
Ing already on the way. Mr.. Gnose said
the establishment of a third laundry was
news to him but woul not interfere with
his plans. Competition, he said, was the
life of trade. The Montana laundry when
r~e-opened would be out for business.

CHANGES HER PORTRAIT YEARLY.

Washington letter: There is a peculiar
portrait in Washington which has ere
ated much interest among those who
know of its existence. It's popularity is
that every year it has been changed to
show the changes which time would have
made in the original. The portrait is by
a Washington artist, and is that of his
wife land was painted many years ago,
when she was a young bride. A few
years after the portrait was painted the
young wife died, n so great was the
grief of the artist that he determined to
keep her likeness with him all the time,
and to do SO he decided that year by year
he WOULD change the portrait SO as to
make it grow old with him and thus
keep her, as it were, ever with him. Every
year, on the anniversary of his we'd
ding day, the artist locked himself in his
studio and changed the lines of the face
of the portrait, adding what he thought
would make the difference of one year.
There have been many anniversaries of
that marriage day and consequently
many changes in the portait. Today the
picture is that of an old woman, the hair
turned gray, the fac wrinkled and pale.
but still beneath the marks of time. as
made by the brush of the artist, can be
seen the early beauty of the young bride
, and the attractiveness of the young Wo-
man.

Canada Cannot Take Part.

Toronto. Ont, Sept. 22.-Goldwin Smith,
writing in a local paper, says:
Nothing could show the extent to
which the head of Columbia has been
turned by the wal more than her adora-
ton of the hero Dewey. What did the
hero Dewey and his comrades do? They
sat in almost perfect safety and destroyed
at long range a line of helpless tub
with some hundreds of the poor Span
iards who ann them and who alone
had any opportunity of showing heroism
on the occasion. So perfectly secure did
the Americans feel that they adjourned
to breakfast in the middle of their sport.
There was among them a single casualty
and had all gone tiger hunting one cas-
ualty at least would probably have oc-
CURED. For this, however, Dewey is de-
clared to be the equal of the great sea-
man who conquered in the terrible days
of Aboukir, Copenhagen. Trafalgar. If
he We're SO inclined he might probably
be elected president Of the United States.
Canada cannot possibly take part in the
celebration of Dewey's triumphs without
an evident breach of courtesy oward
Spain, a friendly nation, which has lone
Canada no wrong. Spain, let it be re-
membered, though deprived Of her possess
sions in this hemisphere, is still a Medi-
%terranean power, decayed at present. but
capable of restoration. The British gov
eminent will hardly thank the Canadian
government for making her an implaca-
BILE enemy
