The sheep industry of the country IS

enormous consumption Of mutton, and
wool at high prices, has given the
business an impetus that seems to IN

ranches Of the West are almost a
thing OF the past The increase in
sheep now is in dozens and ffties on
the farms throughout the country. One
feature of the business that looks like
permanency is the growing taste for
mutton. 4 few years ago Americans
ate beef and pork and seldom called

HAVANA. Dec. s.-The decree removing
from Office the Congressman elected last

says:
The vacancies hereby declared in the
House Of Representa- ives shall be filed at
elections to be held under the provisional
government pursuant to the proclamation
issued by the Provisional Governor of
Cuba on September 20. 1905. and at the
same elections Senatorial electors shall

The fifth clause says
AS the term of office Of members of
the House of Representatives elected in
1904 will expire on the first Monday of
April. 1908. and as under the law of Cuba
the election Of their successors should be
held on December /. 1907. and as il is OBJ

tranquility and public confidence are re-
stored TO such an extent that the special
elections referred 10 in the proclamation
Of the Provisional Governor, dated Sep

date Of the said regular elections in De-
cember, 1907. there shall also be elected at
such special elections the successors Of
those members Of the House Of Represent
atives who were elected in 1900"
IL is claimed that the business element
is disappointed that the decree does not
give definite assurance of American control.
Senior SanguiIy considers that these ex-
pressions of a feeling of insecurity by busi-
ness people are prompted by the hope Of
obtaining permanent Intervention leading

interested in this phase of the question
therefore encourage the idea that condi-
tons are insecure in the hope Of obtaining

proprietors. The cases went over Until
Thursday of next week, as Schmitz' IS lawyer
pleaded that the Mayor hadn't had time
70 study the charges.
The hearing revealed the truth of the
gossip Of the last few days that Schmitz
and Ruef have quarrelled and that Schmitz
has accepted the advice of the heads of
several big corporations to rid himself Of
the boss. They coolly nodded TO each other
when they came into our to-day and they
held lone Of those confidential talks in
which they we're wont to indulge.
Another proof of the split Is that they
ave retained separate counsel and each
will defend his own case.

turned from side to side and saluted ac-
qusintanoes with a smile, but he had no
smile for Ruef. The boss looked toward
him appealingly several times and twice
