CURRENT EVENTS.
Favorable Report on Treaty.

The senate committee on foreign rela-

the new isthmian canal treaty and to
urge it's early ratification, there is favor

of, perhaps before the adjournment of the
senate for the holiday recess. Two of the
democratic members of the committee

the treaty and doubtless will nOt when it

that there ma be M more unnecessary
delay in iegislating for the great enter
prise.
There appears to be no doubt, therefore,
that the convention will be ratified and
there certainly is no sound reason why it
should not be. The naturalization prin,
ciplc which the treaty recognizes, is as
much i'll the interest of the United States
as of any other country and it is mani
testify absurd to argue that it would place
this country at a disadvantage under any
circumstances. The idea, also, that the
clause relating to the policing of the canal
places a limitation upon the power of this
country to absolutely control it, is with
out force. The United States has secured
in this treaty all it asked and there ought
to be no question as to the duty of ratify,

Steers Weighing Nearly 2,40O.

Three of the biggest steers ever
unloaded at the Sioux City stock yards
arrived yesterday from River Side, S.
D., a small station four miles east of
Mitchell, on the Omaha road. The trio
aggregated 1850 pounds, an average OF
$685. pounds each, and their owner
and feeder, B. Z. Satterlee, refused a
bid of 1926 per 100 pounds for them.
The cattle were the center of much
attraction at the yards, and Mr.. Satter-
lee was complimented on the way he
had finished them. The animals were
high grade Shorthorns, which had been
groomed and fed for three years with
great care. Each wore a blanket 20
keep its coat glossy and smooth. Mr..
Satterlee will ship the steers to Chicago,
where he intends to place them ON exhi-
bition at the international live stock
exhibition.
The cattle came in with n load, and
when they emerged from the unloading
schutes they frisked about displaying
how lively they felt. Surprising as it
may SEEM, they were notlcgy. MI. Sat
terlee was asked many questions in
regard to the manner in which he cared
for the prize steers. He said for three
years no fed each animal fourteen
pounds of cornmeal a day. For the
last three months they have been fed
speltz(G German wheat) and equal parts
of bran and corr meal.
The price S7.25 which was offered,
was the highest ever bid on cattle in
this market. Sioux City Journal.

Two New Buildings.

Bills have been introduced in the house
for the erection of public buildings i n
Pierre and Deadwood. There is the best
OF reason for both to- pass. Both of these
cities are entitled to the liberal attention
of the government. The one is the capital
of the state and should have not only an
adequate post-office, but a United States
court house in which the people can take
pride and which will adequately provide
for the business of the court. Deadwood
is n of the most thriving cities of the
state and one of the seats of the federal
court. These bills have been pending in
several congresses. There is plenty of
money in the treasury and there would
appear to be a bright prospect of success.
