He will not. therefore, oppose it if pro posed. Senator Perkins of California, who was as determined an opponent of the Cuban tariff reduction bill last session as Mr. Burows, said during the day: "The continued pressure of the ad ministration has had its effect."

Boston, Dec. 3.The cattle bureau of the state board of agriculture has begun a systematic and exhaustive in spection of the cattle reported as hav ing the foot and mouth disease, the prevalence of which in New England has caused an embargo on traffic in cattle, sheep and hogs. In their tour of inspection the cattle bureau representatives found fifty cases in Littleton and Westford in Middlesex county and eighty cases in Attleboro, Bristol county. Reports of infection were received from herds in Stowe, Danvers, Bridgewater and East Bridgewater.

Fort Benton, Mont., Dec .3.M. E. Milner, one of the heaviest shippers of beef to the Chicago market from Montana, says the past season has been the best for the stockmen that he has known in his twenty years ex perience in Montana. Prices have been good, weather conditions favor able and the grass better than usual, conditions that are not likely to oc cur again in a long time. It is Mr. Milner's opinion that the industry has reached its flood tide In Montana, and from this time on, owinfe, to the contraction of the range, it will be come a farming proposition and be conducted at a heavier expense. Sheepmen also report the season a favorable one for mutton and wool. However there have been some ship ments that netted the owners very small returns. WOLVES KILLING DEER. Big Game in Northern Minnesota Rapidly Being Exterminated. Duluth, Dec. 3.Attorney General Douglas, who returned to Duluth dur ing the evening from a hunting trip in Northern Minesota, reports that timber wolves have been creating great depredations among the deer. The great scarcity of this game he at tributes to this fact more than to any thing else. In an interview he de* clared that unless steps were taken to destroy the wolf pest big game in Northern Minnesota would be gone within a few years. "There is too little inducement to the average man to kill wolves for the bounty which the state allows," said General Douglas, "and I believe the legislature should amend the law in such a way as would result in great er destruction of the pests." TOO CAUTIOUS ON TRUSTS. London Papers Comment on Presi dent Roosevelt's Message. London, Dec. 3.Some of the Lon don morning papers regard President Roosevelt's mesage as disappointing inasmuch as, according to their view, "he adopts a cautious, conservative policy rather than a revolutionary one in dealing with the trust question and tariff." On the whole, however, while carefully examining the message in detail, there is no strong disposition on the part of the press to strongly criti cise it. The president's enunciation of the foreign policy of the United States, and his advocacy of a strong navy meet with warm appreciation, and the message generally is wel comed as a tranquilizing one by prov ing no organic change of policy in tended.

A dispatch from New York under date of Nov. 30 says: "If Worthy Evans, who left his realatives four years ago in St. Paul and has not since reported his whereabouts, is found to be living in this city, the Evans family will consider the Ouija board little less than marvelous. "If it is found, in addition, that he has been living in Twentieth street, their faith in the occult powers of this fireside game will be unbounded. Mr. Evans' father, who was a clergyman in Minneapolis, has been dead some years, and since Worthy disappeared the family has been living in that city. "A few nights ago Miss Evans was experimenting with the Ouija board with a friend of the family, while her mother looked on. After various sen tences had been spelled out by the lit tle machine, it started off at a great rate, and gave out the following news: "Worthy is livinsr somewhere in Twentieth street, New York City. Advertise for him." No doubt this is the same Worthy Evans who a few years ago was em ployed by C. A. Jack as a drug clerk, and who went from here to Big Lake. He led a sporty life and owned a race horse or two. He got into trouble later on, left his wife, it is said, and about three years ago was working in Duluth, and other places in northern Minnesota for a new fraternal order.
