congratulation was telegram from

the effect that Texas would admit peo-

previously: It is believed that the

of powder, butt the powedr had been gathered for solne time, as early as
 September q. as can been seen in the Chilian papers ok that date. which did
 not suspect them that the cattle im-
 pOrtation question would turn so tragi-
 cally.
 The Argentine Republic is, the great
 purveyor of beef and mutton for Chilli and Brazil. and it was natural that at
 the banquet rendered by labor societies
 of Santiago to two Deputies in Con-
 gress belonging to the Democratic par ties, the Deputies should have been asked to demand from the government
 the abolition of the duties imposed up-
 on Argentine meat and livestock. These duties were injuring the people, be- cause they increased the price of meat, which. as said at the banquet. had come to be an article of luxury for the working people," The Deputies de- cleared that they were willing to sup port warmly the movement, provided the labor associations made a demon- stration, important by it's number of manifestants and by it's organization, 9o IiAGIA II oiAoulu nave L4AC dPECSii ttAlGG Of a popular uprising against the in- iquitous taxation on Argentine meat.
 The leaders of the associations promis- ed that such a demonstration should take place.
 It is probable that it took place, though dispatches have not reported it, between the building of the above banquet and October 9, the date of the riot, and it is probable that the ! government refused to abrogate the ob- noxious taxation. which brought about the troubles at Santiago. This re- fusul is so much more probable be- cause a committee of the Narional
 Society of Agriculture, composed of
 native cattle breeders, called on Sep i tember % on President Ricsco, of Chili. The committee told him about the in
 jury which the repeal of the import duty would cause to the catle indus l try of Chilli, and asked him to maintain a taXation thanks to which, they isaid, such valuable and important business interests had been created in
 the country" The President answered
 that ihs impression wa sthat the duty had been advantageous for the in- crease of the Chilian cattle industry, land that the breeders could be sure 1 that the government would not abro- gate the dupt upon the importation of Argentine cattle.
