WARNINGS TO LIVESTOCK MEN
THEY WILL BE SENT OUT By
WEATHER BUREAU.
To Be Notified of the Approach of
Abnormally Geld Spells and Also
Of Unusually Heavy Rains.


Fort Worth, Tex, Jan 3.-The Ma
tional Livestock association, with the
assistance Of W. r. Brandenburg, resi-
dent bureau observer at Denver, has
just secured an order which is import
ant to the livestock men Of the west.
\ letter received by the secretary Of
the association from Mr.. Brandenburg,
says:
Pursuant to our understanding
took up in the interest of the livestock
men, the matter in relation t. the
change in the regulations governing the
issue Of special warnings and I am
pleased to say that Professor Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
has issued Instructions to the effect
mat emergency or special warnings be
issued when prolonged spells Of abnor-
mally cold weather, high nOrtherly
winds, with snow. or heavy falls Of
snow, are indicated for any section,
and that special warnings also be is
0usd when unreasonable or abnOrmally
heavy aims are indicated for any sec
ton.
Heretofore these warnings have
been restricted TO a few settled points
in each state. It is therefore very graf
flying to know that in the future tele-
grar7s conveying information Of the
above described character viii be sent
to no fewer than 102 points in Colorado
and prOpOrti0nate number to points in
Wyoming. Montana, Idaho Utah North

ADVANCE IS NOW EFFECTIVE
MERCHANTS WILL CONTINUE
THEIR OPPOSITION.
Increase In Rates Is Likely to Draw
Business Away From New York
City.

New York, Jan 3.-RailTOads belong
ing to the Eastern Trunk Line pool
have put in active operation the new
freight tariffs involving an advance of
20 to % per cent in rates.
Merchants of this city, not discOur-
aged by the refusal Of Attorney Cen
eral Griggs to institute injunction pro-
eeeGingg to prevent the introduction of
the new rates, are determined to con
tinue their opposition. They viii first
apply to the railroads themselves and
try to get a hearing by the classical
ton committee which drew up the
higher rates. They propose to show
that the rates will not only be a seri-
Gus discrimination against small ship
pers, since the advance on less than
carload lots is greater than tOn carload
lots. but the new tariff is likely to
drive away business from this port.
Some Of the trunk lines have received
complaints from business men in the
interior to the effect that if the new
rates stand they VIII be compelled to
ship by Baltimore. Charleston, Newport
News, New Orleans and other southern
ports, since the narrow aIgin on
which they do business will not admit
of any profit whatever under the new
tariff.
If no other plan works, it is under
stood that the shippers will take steps
! against the railroads on the ground
that the new agreement concerning
rates is made by an irOnclad pool which
is in all respects as much violation
Of the antitrust law as if it were Oper-
ating as an association.

TO PREVENT TEXAS FEVER.
Cattle From the North Are to Be Ex-
perimented With.


Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 3.-Recent
successful experiments in the inocula-
ton of calves and yeaTlings as a pre-
tentative against Texas fever are to be
followed by an experiment on a large
scale. There viii be shipped tomorrow
from Kansas City to Beeville. Tex, 100
pure bred Hereford and short horn
calves selected from the best herds OF
the country. The Texas state board
of agriculture has for two years been
preparing for the reception Of these
animals, having set apart and fenced
of a ranch of 10000 acres on which not
a hOOf has been allowed for two years,
so that il is wholly free from any
germs Of Texas fever, owing to the ac-
ton of the frOsts of two winters.
On this ranch the northern calves
viii be inocUlated with the poison Of
the fever ticks, in such manner as to
bring on the disease in mild form, and
will then be allowed to run and become
immune to the Texas fever, after which
they may be generally introduced into
the herds of Texas. The shipping OF
high priced northern cattle south Of
the fever line has heretofore caused
heavy losses. as the mature animals
have been continually liable to the dis
ease.
Mr.. T. T. B. Sotham, president Of the
National Hereford Cattle Breeders as
sOciatiOn, is 4 leader in the present ex-
short horn calves TO be shipped today
have been gathered from prize herds in
the states of Missouri. Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana The
100 calves are valued by Mr.. SOtham
at $40 600

CARNEGIE'S PURSE IS CLOSED
WILL NOT GIVE A DOLLAR 10
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
IS Opposed 10 Its Policy of Imperial
ism-He Is Also In Sympathy
With the Beers.

New York, Jan. 3-Andrew Carnegie
was interviewed by a World reporter
concerning the report that he had
promised to subscribe $4,000 to the
Republican national convention fund.
There's not q word Of truth in the
report, ne said. 4 viii not give dol
lar to help the Republicans If their
platform is not sound-.f it is not
American. Not q cent to Imperialism
not a cent to renegade Ame~icanism.
Ny position on these questions has
been made clear.
Ny mind is open, but my purse is
closed. If the Republican party is true
TO the principles that have made this
country great, then I would subscribe.
But not If the platform commits the
party to policy TO which l stand IN
alteFably and uneompromisingly Op-
posed
Il am in favor of securing all the
West Indies islands, if we can do 50, %
he continued. 4 believe they viii make
desirable and proper acquisitions to our
territory. That sort of expansion is on
the right line. But mind you, it should
not so beyond territory on this CONT
nent. We have no business either in
morals or in politics to take and keep
the Philippines.
DO you mean we should annex
Cllba?" was asked.
10. we are pledged as to the action
we are to take there. We have given
our word that Cuba shall be free. If
the people show a disposition for an
nexati0n then that raises another ques-
ton.
1.-THE annexation Of Cuba, however.
would, in my opinion, kill the Repub-
iiean party. Its free iron, free coffee
and free sugar, the competition of its
cheap labor with our labor would
strike a blow at a vital Republican
principle"
Suppose the Democratic party de-
clares against expansion and the Re
publicans for 1t, would you contribute
TO the Democrats fund.-"
Il would consider it. Ny mind is
open, but my purse is closed, as I have
said I want to see the Republican
party range itself on the side of true
Americanism-no renegade American
ism for me, no running off after the
Will-'O-the-wisp Of territorial aggran-
diZement It involves dangers on every
hand If we shut the door in the Phil
ippines we arouse Europe. If we open
it we destroy the very thing that i'm
perialiSts give as their reason for tax
ing the hilippine6-cOmmerci expan-
sion. The latter course permits all ma
tons to enjoy commercial privileges
there on an equality with US"
Mr.. Carnegie paused for a moment
and then went en-: Il am with the
Beers in their fight. They are fighting
bravely tc maintain their republic.
Their stand is for republican institu-
tons. They are battling for a princi-
pie with which all good Americans
should be in sympathy"

SHREWDNESS OF AMERICA.

London, Jan A. The Times, in an
editorial this morning dealing with the
action Of the United States government
with regard to the open door, in Chi
na, sass:
In this matter America has shown
will the result be hailed with greater
satisfaction than in great Britain. No
where will the particulars of the ar
engagements be waited with more in
terost than here.
Our cousins are a Wide-aWake race.
They perceived that the trade pFivil-
eyes they enjoyed in ManchuTia and the
orders given by Russia for railway ma
tGrial and the like were, for obvious
reasons, Of a temporary nature. They
recognized that the powers averss to
the open door encouraged American
trade only because they could not thsTn-
selves supply the commodities needed.
The position of the United States
was peculiarly precari0us. and she sa-
gaciOusly resolved to render il secure,
or as secure as assurances could make
it, America is the last power in the
world to. have gone to the trouble Of
getting paper assurances and then al
lowing them to remain paper assur-
ances only. If she has obtained them
she viii see that they are observed, and
in this she viii get the unfailing sup
port Of the country which initiated the
open door policy"

REBELS ARE DISPERSED.
One of the Results of Colonel Pill
chsr's Victory at Douglas.

chsr's Victory at Douglas.
London, Jan. 3.-Lacking news from
the main British camps in South At
RIGA whose future action can alone have
an important effect on the larger is
sues of the campaign, the British public
is making the most of Colonel Pitcher s
miniature battle. Unbounded tribute
is paid to the prOwess of the Cana
dams and Australians and graphic &C
counts are published of the scenes at
Douglas as the victorious entered that
place The representative Of the As
ISOLATED Press, with the flying column,
says:
1.-THE Immediate result Of Colonel Pill
cher's success is the entire dispersal
of the rebels who have been governing
the country for the past six weeks"
After Sunnysde was captured the
TOrOntos occupied the lager for the
night and joined the main body the fol-
lowing morning, bringing the whole OF
the BOer tents wagons and loot, and
leaving the COrnwalls in garrison at
SUnnyside. The British force then
started for Douglas, the TOrontos
bringing up the rear in wagons.
In the afternoon the troops entered
the town unOpposed and amid extraOr-
binary scenes. The inhabitants were
OverjOyed and crowded about the sol
diers. shaking hands with them and
when they learned that their delivererS
were Canadians and Australians the
enthusiasm became frenZied- There
were deafening cheers as the troops
traversed the main street and it was
almost impossible for them TO make
progress, the crowds being SO eager
to shake hands with the colonies.
1t appears that the LanddrOst and all
on the previous night. The unrnounted
rebels are reported to be intrenched in
the vicinity. Quantities Of ammunition
were captured and destroyed.
A dispatch from the MOdder river
intimateg that the Sunnyside prisoners
Will not be treated as prisoners of war
but as British subjects caught in open
rebellion.
At the MOdder river camp the conduct
Of the cOlOnials is greatly admired and
all are delighted that they have struck
the fast blow on the western frontier
since the battle of Magersfontein, 1t is
believed the relief Of Thurman viii
quickly follow.
From a source which has many facili-
ties Of gaining inside news from South
Africa, the Associated Press learns
that Colonel Pitchers occupation Of
Douglas is regarded as merely the first
step of General Methuen's carefully ma
tured plans to OUthank the Beers. Ac-
cording to this authority it is probably
Colonel Pitcher in conjunction with
General BabingtOns force from the
MOdder river will proceed to the rear
Of those Entertainments which now pre-
vent Methuen from proceeding to Kim
berley.
Colonel Pitcher has only about fol- ty
miles travel before he achieves this end
and if this understanding is correct an
attack by General Methuen and a de-
termined effort to relieve Kimberley
may be expected any day.

Officer Miner, under the guidance OF

FEARS FOR A TRANSPORT.
Reinsurance offered On the Victoria,
Over6ue at Manila.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Twenty per

the transport Victoria, which sailed on
Oct. II from this port for Manila.
The Victoria broke the thrust block
Of her main shaft on Nov g. about
$500 miles from Manila, near a num-
Der Of rocky islands. She took from
here hay, oats and railroad iron. The
transport refused a tow from the Tar
tar, possibly from the reason that she
wanted co avoid paying salvage.
Both vessels were in the employ Of
the government, but both being under
charter, a delicate question might have
erisen in regard to the tow bill. The
Victoria is chartered at so much a day.
but the government viii not pay the
price for the time the vessel is drifting
about the Pacific. The Victoria is an
iron steamer Of 1 500 tons.
