CATTLEMEN AND RAILROADS.
An Agreement Reached which Promises
Mutual satisfaction.


Topeka, Feb. 27.-The conference
arranged between the Kansas cattle
men and railroads resulted in the
differences being adjusted. The rail-
roads gave the cattle a pasturage or
feeding in transit rate, but declined to
restore the old carload rate.
The railroads propose to abolish the
weighing system of which the cattle
men complain and accept the weights
at the Kansas City stockyards, by
which the cattle are sold. The roads
also promise to take up the individual
cases complained of and make an effort
to right wrongs which may exist.
The conference ended by general
hand shaking despite the fact that
some of the cattlemen charge that
nothing has been gained for the fat
stock shipper and that the agreement
reached is a compromise in which the
cattlemen surrendered. The railroad
men claim they have met the cattle
men more than half way and made
important concessions.
This agreement, it is said, does not
stop the suit of the cattlemen against
the Santa Fe, brought to determine
the validity of the law creating the
court of visitation.

Making History.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Director Merriam
proposes to use typesetting and tab
ulating machines in getting out his re-
port of the next census. This decision
may get him in hot water, however, as
the labor organizations are opposed to
using machines of this kind because
the work can be done by the employ
ment of about one-third the number of
printers otherwise required. Some of
the local labor leaders called upon Di-
rector Merriam and told him if he car
ried out the plan they would see Presi-
dent Mckinley and make protest.

An Knock on Germany.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Western sausage
makers have protested to the agricul-
tural department against the sweeping
exclusion of American sausages from
Germany, thus cutting of an important
and growing branch of trade, and at
the same time casting most injurious
aspersions upon the purity OF the Amer
lean product. One condition as to inn
ported fresh meats alone is regarded as
impracticabIe, that the slaughtered
animals must be sent over whole, and
with the intestines attached.

patents TO such Indians of the

governing their own affairs were
referred 10 the Secretary Of the In
terror, and by him to the Indian
Commissioner, who reported ad-
versely on them, saying he does
not believe in promiscuously grant
ing patents to these Indians, but
adds that no opposition will be
made to granting patents for the
lands of deceased Indians. Ac-
cordingly, Representative Tongue
has offered an amendment providing
that when any Indian on the reser-
vation over 81 years of age becomes
! the owner of more than so acres,
the Secretary shall patent all over
that amount, reserviug the best
land for the Indian"
