ARMY HORSES HARD TO GET.
furchaaing Department Finds Difficulty
 in Meeting the Requlrements.

in Meeting the Requirements.
 The entire northwest is being ran- sacked by agents of the war depart ment in quest of horses suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army The horses procured are for the most part brought to Chicago, where they are inspected. and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color Of the animal, it's weight and it's height. The owner must stand the expense of havs ing the two front shoes removed. fur nish a halter and have the animal weighed. Tt would require the anil mals to be nodded, said horse trader at the stockyards. AS yet there arg few horses that we Lave received that come up to the requirements of the or der, and an owner having a horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands a larger price than the government offers to pay .@ The local horsemen state that the gov ernment will have to make some allow ance on the order or 1t will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but it is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year. --CbiGago Chronicle.

Sad for Scotch salmon Fisheries.

Sad for Scotch Salmon Fisheries.
 This has been a bad year for the salmon fisheries of Scotland In fact for several years they have just been going from bad to worse. In 1895 they were fairly remuneratiye. That year 25,364 boxes were sent to Billingsgate Gondo1) but ever since then the quan. tity has gradually declined The fel. lowing year, 1896, only 22.435 boxes were sent, in 1897 still less. 1G,2S4 boxes, and last year, 1898, the total consignment was only 14,174 boxes. As the average for the eighteen yeara from 1879 was g ,t61 boxes, the de- crease of last year is close on 5000 BCt 1t is to be remembered tfct the whole harvest of Scottish salmon does not now, as formerly, go to London 4 considerable portion of it is now sent to other places. The returns of rai1 way and shipping companies are prob. ably the most complete, but even thest only show 1,7f7 tons forwarded las year, against 2.z94 tons in 1897.

general reply to charges made against the
management Of ths United States Express
Company.
The war .Revenue law imposed a stamp
tax Of 1 cert on each express package
amounting to a tax OF about > per cent on
express earningS. The express companies
did net resist this tax. They always affixed
the stamp whica SIS al that the Govern
ment was inJerest4 ID in OF course. they
charged the increase in cost TO the ship
pers. Shippers generally paid the addi-
tionat cost without complaining.
Some people, not shippers, for political
purposes, tried to stir up an attack on the
express companies By claiming that the
express companies could not increase their
rates 10 cover the tax. They brought suits
against the companies. cut the Supreme
Court OF the United States held that the
companies position was right.
AS President OF the United States Ex-
press Company, Of course, I had the con-
pany stand on its legal rights. as they
have been declared by the United States
