D1sM1ssEs THE SUIT.
Decision in the Case Brought at SeY
Orleans to Prevent Shipment of
Mules to South Africa.

New Orleans, April 15.-Judge Par
lange in the United States superior
court Saturday handed down de-
cision dismissing the suit brought
by the Boer representatives here to
prevent the shipment of mules and
horses out of New Orleans to the
British army in South Africa. The
decision is lengthy one.
Judge Parlange holds that the
transactions between citizens of the
United States and the British gov
eminent were conducted under the
order of private citizenship and that
the courts had absolutely no juris-
diction to interfere. The horses and
mules, the court said, were bought
in neutral territory.

WHERE PURE AIR IS FOUND.
the Dust and Smoke Of
Cities.

The chemical composition of the at
mosphere differs little, if at all,
wherever the sample be taken;
whether it be on the high Alps or at
the surface of the sea the relation of
oxygen to nitrogen and other con-
stituents is the same, says scientific
authority. The favorable effects,
therefore, of change of air are not
to be explained by any difference in
the proportion of its gaseous con-
stituents. One important difference,
hawc-er, is the meteorological one.
Che air of high attitudes contains no
microbes, and is, in fact, sterile, while
near the ground and some 100 feet
above it microbes are abundant. In
the air of towns and crowded places
not only does the microbic impurity
increase, but other impurities, such
as the products of combustion of
coal, accrue also. Several investi-
gators have found traces of hydro
gen and certain hydrocarbons in the
air and especially in the air of pine,
oak and birch forests. 1t is to these
bodies, doubtless, consisting of traces
of essential oils, to which the curative
properties of certain health resorts
are ascribed.
Thus the locality of fir forest is
said to give relief in diseases of the
respiratory tract. But, all the same,
these traces of essential oil and aro-
matte. products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not necessary constituents
of the air. AS recent analyses have
shown, these bodies tend to disap-
pear in the air as higher altitude
is reached. until they disappear alto
gether. 1t would seem, therefore, that
microbe, hydrocarbons and entities
other than oxygen and hydrogen.
and, perhaps, we should add argon,
are only incidental to the neighbor-
hood of human industry, animal life,
damp and vegetation.

The boom in horse breeding which
began with the outbreak of the war
wu with Spain and be-
came more pro-
nounced when hos
tilities began in South Africa is not by
any means ended yet. 1t is estimated
that about 1oo 900 horses will be need
ed for the 10000 mounted troops Great
Britain is now raising for African
service, and the larger number OF
these must come from this country.
The outlook for the horse dealers is
excellent, but meanwhile Uncle Sam
must pay more than ever for his cav
airy horses, even so tempting an offer
rs $145 per head not being enough to
provide sufficient supply. Until ma
tions go to war with their cavalry
mounted on bicycles OF automobiles
there does not seem to be any reason
for the horse breeders to feel any
alarm for the future.

: A late report says that In the Pecos
valley, south from Roswell to Bar
stow, Tex, distance of 10 miles,
there will be planted this year 1900
acres of cantaloupes, with an approx
innate estimated yield of 1000 car
loads of the melons, or something less
than car load to the acre. The crop
will be shipped direct to Chicago, and
will have an average car load value of
S450-the minimum per car load being
$500, with a maximum of $500. The
enormous growth of the Pecos valley
cantaloupe industry is readily seen in
the fact that 10 car loads of the mel
ons were marketed from the valley

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
More About the Details of His West-
ern Journey-yisit to Yellow-
stone Park.

Washington, April 15.-Several mat
.ers in connection with the itinerary
of the presidents western trip We're
decided Saturday. Former Senator
Carter and Mr.. Bache, representing
the transportation company of the
Yellowstone park, arranged for the
trip through the park. Usually the
park is not opened to tourists until
the middle of June, owing to the fact
that the park is at an elevation of 1000
feet, and is not completely clear of
snow until that date. For this occa-
sion, however, it will be opened this
year fortnight earlier. The presiden-
tial party will reach Butte, Mont, May
IS and will lunch there, proceeding in
the afternoon to Helena. where dinner
will be had. The party will reach the
park on the morning of May 30 and
spend three days travelling through
it. In this brief time all the features
of the park cannot be visited and sew
eral of the famous geysers will neces-
sarily be missed. But the plan is to
have the party see the best of the
scenery and the most picturesque of
the great natural wonders in which
the park abounds. Upon leaving the
park on the evening of May 81 the
party will double back to Anaconda
and leave thence southwark for Salt
Lake City. The Kansas itinerary will
include stops at Topeka, Emporia, OF
tawa, Baldwin, Lawrence and possibly
Junction City.
Capt. Pitcher, of the First cavalry,
now stationed at the Preside, San
Francisco, is to succeed Capt. Goode as
superintendent of the Yellowstone
park.
Washington, April 15.-Arrange-

Orleans, whence they will proceed to
San Francisco over the Southern Pa
cific. After the launching they will
go north to Portland and Seattle and
return over the Northern Pacific, ar
irving in Columbus about June 1. It
is understood that neither Senator
Hanna nor Senator Foraker will ac-
company the party. The representa-
tives who will not go are Messrs. Bur-
ton, Weaver, Van VOORHEES, and Kerr.
