CATTLE EXPORTS HALTED
New England shippers Stay Idle TIL
Disease Has Been stamped

BOSTON, Dec. 7.--No reply has been re-
ceived as yet to the cable sent to the Brit
ish government by the acting consul ex-
pressing the desire of steamship men and
cattle shippers that its quarantine against
the shipment Of cattle from New England

Portland Of western and Canadian animals,
Meanwhile the New England export cat

MAY ONLY FIGHT WITH WORDS
French Deputies Exchange Seconds,
but shots Are Likely to he
Harmless.

PARIS, Dec. 7.-As a result Of the hstic
fight in the Chamber yesterday, M. Syveton
has chosen the Marquis De Dion and M.
Guyot De Villenuve as his seconds to meet
the seconds appointed by NJ. Vale. AS a
preliminary to a meeting, however, II must
be decided who was the aggressor and
whether the offense comes within the code
of honor.
NJ. Syveton's personal offense against
Vale consists in giving him the lie, while
the minister's personal offense consists OF
having called NJ. Syveton wretch"
A further complication is pointed out by
the Figaro, which says that duelling is
practically interdicted among ofncials in
authority. For a minister to engage in a
duel is tantamount to giving up his port
folio. The general belief is that the sec
onds will determine that no cause for a duel
exists.

Asks Men to Compare Their Work
with that of Baltimore
Colleagues.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 7.-Cardinal Gibbons
referred in his sermon today to the as
pensions cast upon the friars in the Phil
ippine islands.
He said in part:
Much has been said in the past two years
regarding the friars in the. Philippines
They have been praised and abused in turn.
Perhaps the best way to Judge Of these
much-maligned men is to consider the char
acter Of their consecrated brethren and sis
ters in Baltimore. This investigation will
give us an opportunity of ascertaining how
far the religious men and women OF this
city are imparting the example of Christ
as presented in today's gospel.
His eminence dwelt at length upon the
good work performed by charitable and
religious organizations, and claimed that
the parochial and Catholic schools saved
the city fully s5OOO annually.

BUILDS PALACE FOR A CHILD
Andrew Carnegie Comes to Dedicate
Million Dollar Home on
Christmas.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-Andrew Carnegie's
reason for disregarding his London physi-
clans advice and sailing on Oceanic for
New York last Wednesday became known
today 1t is Mr.. Carnegie's desire, stronger
than any fear OF the evil results of an
ocean trip in winter, to give to his little
daughter, Margaret Christmas present OF
the new mansion at Fifth avenue and
Ninety-flrst street.
On Christmas day, his health permitting,
he will give a house warming and the mag
nihcent structure will be presented to the
light of the household. The family on ar
rival will go direct to the new house.
The wish of the fathers heart has been
delayed too long already, in the mind OF
Mr.. Carnegie. The house was to have been
occupied a year ago, but the magnitude of
the work has been miscalculated. Men
were engaged night and day during the
year now passing to make sure that there
would be no further postponement and the
81, 900, 900 mark set for the cost Of the house
has been passed.
Mr.. Carnegie is a great lover of Central
Park, and while at his New York home is
daily pedestrian on it's walks. An en-
trance to the park fronts his grounds.
He named his place the Highlands of Man
months to meet the views of Mrs. Carne-
gle, who acted for the little owner of the
mansion, before the plans were accepted
and the work begun.
While engaged in giving away millions
for public libraries Mr.. Carnegie has
watched the walls of his new home rise and
has overlooked the work on the garden, the
establishment OF which has added $500 900
to the cost of the mansion.
Miss Margaret will clap her hands with
pleasure when she sees her own particular
surroundings private kindergarten, a
glass winter garden and playrooms in
which a school of children could revel,
will be her own premises. Plenty OF air
and lots Of flowers. with birds, will make
her the most envied heiress Of the metrop-
| oils.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Tin accordance
with the unanimous agreement OF last
session the senate will take up the state

The bill will undoubtedly provoke con-
siderable debate and It is generally be-
lleved that Il will not be disposed OF until

last longer.
Senator Beveridge, as chairman of the
committee on territories, will call the bill
up on wednesday and will probably speak

agree with him will follow. All Of them
will give careful attention to the testi-
mony taken by the subconmittee which re-
Gently visited the territories.
The committees written report has not
yet been submitted and this, too, will
probably be put in on Wednesday. The re-
port will anaiyze the Testimony, dealing
with the Questions of soil, mines, agricul-
tural possibilities, educational facilities
and general fitness of the population Of the
various territories for statehood
strongly oppose These Claims.
II is generally understood that a strong
position will be taken in opposition to the
claims Of New Mexico and Arizona, consid-
erable stress being laid on the fact that a
large percentage Of the people Of those ter
ritories are necessarily in the conduct OF
the business OF the many courts.
Attention will be given to the previous
question of statehood Of those territories,
many OF which are seriously criticised by
the present committee on the ground that
they fail entirely to represent the real con-
ditions. The report will he accompanied by
a transcript of the testimony on which it is
based.
II is expeoted the immigration bill will be
discussed IN half-hsarted manner on Mon
day or Tuesday, the proceedings consisting
largely in reading the bill and the eOnsid-
Grafton of amendments.
There will be. more or less executive bus
mess. during the week, and in all probable

TEXAS LOSES MUCH LAND
Property Holders Have No Title to
Holdings Now New Survey
is Out.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. IA report just
filed in the state land office fixes the Tooth
meridian so that Texas loses strip OF
land three-quarters OF a mile wide.
The survey takes off that much OF the
eastern edge of Lipscomb, Hemphill,
Wheeler Collingsworth and Childress
counties, a total loss OF 1121s sections or
$4,000 acres. 1t was at first understood
that the new line would give to Texas a
strip Of eight miles of Indian Territory, but
IL the corner as lately marked is made
permanent, the people who own property
will be without title, as a deed from Texas
will be worthless. This new location will
stand unless the people Of Texas can pre-
vail on congress to authorize a joint sur
vey for the purpose OF marking a new
line.
This makes the third portion Of the Texas
boundary line in dispute.
