tsanchlmen Around Pierre Expect
to Sell More Range Fed Cattle.
Ranchmen in the Pierre section of the
state feel that they are in good shape this
year on account of the scarcity Of corn.
They have in past years had to compete
with a large number of corn-fed cattle
when they went into the market with fat
cattle, but this year they will not find this
to SO large an extent. This section is in
the best shape to turn out fat range cattle
this year, as the feed has never been bet
ter, and under the present circumstances
this class of cattle is likely to bring good
prices on the market. Range reports in
dictate that the cattle are in fine condition,
and with the dry weather hardening the
grass they will he ready 10 ship at an early
date.

1t is believed by those who have been
keeping in close touch with the orange.
ments for the court of inquiry in the
Schley case that a series OF sensations
will result as the outcome of the inves-
tigation. The precept that was issued
is considered by the un~prejudiced us a
bill Of indictment found by the Navy
Department against Admiral Schley. 1t
is understood pretty generally that jeal.
ousy is rampant in the navy. While it is
firmly believed hat Admiral Schley will
be given the hot end of the hearing, not
w~ithstanding the precautions that Sec
rotary Long will throw about the inquiry.
there is an u%ndercurrent of opinion that
the admiral realizes this, and in view Of
his speedy retirement from the navy pur-
poses to open III to public gaze all the
ms and outs Of the naval management in
times of peace and war, at home as well
as abroad. If there is my truth in the
stories of jealousies and improper striv-
ing for official preferment that have been
bruited about for years past in a more or
less aggravated form, it is believed they
will be presented by Admiral Schley ana
his counsel at the court of inquiry in such
a manner as will gravely accentuate the
fact that has heretofore been Intangible
gossip.

Up to date something like $4,000 600
have been withdrawn from New York
and sent West to move crops. The with
drawals have been as follows: To New
Orleans, $2,235, 600; to Chicago, $780,.
600; to Cincinnati, S100,O0O; to st. Louis,
$225,000. The money has been mostly
in currency of small denominations-$2O
notes and under. The money sent West
thus far is about 100000 more than was
withdrawn at the same period in 1900.
Despite the increase in the withdrawal,
the Treasury officials have no fear of i'll,
consequences on the New York money
markets, such as occurred last year. 1t
will be recollected that money was then
taken out of New York at such a rate
as to create almost a panic in Wall
street. Nothing of this sort is a%nticipat-
ed now, however, the department having
an ample supply of money on hand to
meet the demands.

1t is estimated that the cost of the
Sampson-Schley court Of inquiry will be
about $225,000. This estimate is based on
what Navy Department officials have
now in sight, but making allowance for
an examination Of probably a third more
witnesses than are now contemplated the
expenses would perhaps be $4,000 or
$4,000. Secretary Long and Captain
Cowles, Assistant Chief of the Bureau
of Navigation, expressed the opinion that
the inquiry would not be an expensive
affair. Thu opinion of a very high naval
will be required to thoroughly invests
gate all the points in issue. Two months,
however, would not be too large a mar
