Jacksonville, Fla, papers report that
a serious condition confronts the cattle
industry of Florida. 1t has recently
developed that the remarkable demand
for beef and dairy cattle in Cuba has
about stripped Florida of her supply
of those animals especially the better
grades OF them. 1t seems that the
island was completely depleted of cattle
by the various armies during the long
war period, and every range and farm
is now getting back its stock as fast as
it can procure the cattle. Many are
consumed as fast as they arrive while
the better-bred animals are preserved
for breeding purposes. Florlda's ranches
have been drawn OH very heavily to
meet this demand. and the result has
become very noticeable.

the addition of gold has beeu s4lS, 000,-

Not known In Diplomatic Circlne
Whether Russia's Note Relative
to Evacuation Has Been Re-
sDOnded To-Our Policy.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE de-
yelopments in the Chinese situation point
To speedy withdrawal of the United
States troops from China. General Chat
fee has added the weight of his opinion
to that already entertained by many Of
ticials here. 1t probably is sisnihcant
that the generals statement Oh this point
was given publicity by the adminlstra-
tion.
No confirmation is at hand here of the
report that Great Britain and Germany
have joined i'll an agreement To remain
together in Peking regardless of the at
titude of the other powers. Should this
be true the fact doubtless would hasten
the rearward movement of the American
troops, for there is firm determination
to avoid becoming involved III any clash
between the powers, such as might rea-
sonably be expected to follow the exeeu-
ton of this reported British-German pro-
gramme.
If there have been further responses
to the Russian note relative to evacua-
tion. their purport cannot be ascertained.
This delay no longer interferes with the
execution of the American policy. The
state department has reasonably ac-
curate understanding of the attitude of
even those powers that have not made
formal responses to the Russian note. 50
that the mere written record Of their
views is not Of importance.

withdrawal that remains unsolved Is the

have not yet been secured. Possible

have gotten SO far away from the peO-
pie that it is difficult for them to see
why their agent, Mr.. Hanna, should
even take the trouble to dissemble his
contempt for the mere mob which
casts votes.
Mr.. Quay and his friends have seen
fit to indulge in n good deal of bitter
ness over his failure to he seated as a
Senator. 1t was a lesson to those who
get into the comfortable belief that
when the Legislature and the pre-
scribed forms become an obstruction to
certain interests, that the Governor of
a State can assu.ne almost any function
and ''by Interpretation" put himself
above law and beyond the power of
the people. There is 4 general feeling
through the cOuntry-and In this case 1t
was reflected in Washington-that it
was about time for the Senate of the
United States to declare itself
Now the Quay supporters are threat
ening to defeat the ship subsidy bill
because Senator Hanna was against
Quay. If it should happen that way it
would be something for which to be
duly thankful. Hanna is declaring

all summer. He has been trying to get
the Democrats to agree to let the ap-
preparation bills through without de-
lay, in the alleged interest of early ad-
journment, but as no assurances are
made about dropping the subsidy bill,
the Democrats are not hurrying any
thing. Every week Congress remains
in session the Republicans furnish the
Democrats with additional campaign
material.
