MANY CATTLE DYING.
The Cold "Weather on the North Eanges
Severely Felt.
Ft.McLeod, X. W. T.. Maich 13. The
cattle on the ranges aro beginning to feel
the effects of the cold weather. In the
McLeod listrict there is as yet no cause
for apprehension and on the north side of
the river as far as New Oxley cattle are
doing fairly well. It is reported that
calves up toward the Porcupine hills are
dying pretty fast. The worst stories, how
ever, come from north of Xew Qxley, on
the Red Deer river, about the northern
limit of the county, where cattle are being
run on the range. The situation is said to
be very alarming and a repetition of the
disaster of the winter of 1SS2-3. when
thousands of the Cockrane ranch cattle
succumbed, is almost a certainty. There

THE M'CALLA INQUIRY.
NEW Yokk, March 13. The third day's
session of the McCalla inquiry was opened
today. The first witness was Lieutenant
P. J. Menlich. He told about men being
put in canvas jackets, and of the men be
ing ironed together. Men were ironed two
and two and were kept on deck under
guard of a mariue. In the case of Fire- 1
man Swaclich. the witness considered the I
man had been confined unjustly. On the
Enterprise the enforcement of discipline
was not in accordance with the rules of
the navy. He did not think the officers
of the" shin were derelict in their
duty. At Uronudt much liquor wa-.
.smuggled aboard and men became drnnk
on dutv. It was the worst offense a man
conld commit. A number of the crew sent
ashore for target practice cot drunk and
threw away their arms. He thought the
men had too much liberty. At Plymouth
liberty was civen to thirty men at 1 o'clock
iu the morning.
Dr. C. C. Herndon was the next witness.
He is the surgeon on the Enterprise. He
told of the catting down or Walker.

Great Demonstrations.
GUTHRIE, Ok.. March 13. The news of
the passage of the Oklahoma bill by the
houae was received here tonight with dem
onstrations of rejoicing. Crowds of men
paraded the btreets headed by brass bands
and carrying national ilags. Many pub
lic and private r uses were illumi

government when it shall be completed
means a great deal to Oklahoma and es
pecially to its towns and cities. It will
make possible the titles of lands and the
establishment of government for cities
and towns. In the past these things have
been an impossibility. Now that they will
be possible in the near future the people
are jubilant and much more confidence by

Mr. Sherman Tells Why Ha Go; It and Its
Benents toDisie.
WAmrGT-jX, March 13. After the in
trodu 'lion of several impoitant bills the
senate preceded to tne calendar and passed j
numerous bills for public buildings j
among them being one fdr Hastings, Neb ,
ro cost ?15O,0W. j
Mr. Eutis then referred to the two state- !
ments made by Mr. Hoar yoterdsy ui ref-1
erence to tne sonttiern state.-: one ot tnem
being that in. the state of Louisiana, and
som other states there are laws
which made it a penal offense, punishable
by imprisonment in the penitentiary, for
a white man to associate on terms of
equality witti a black man. He asserted
there was not the slightest foundation for
such a statement. There never had bteu
a necessity for the state of Louisiana to
enaci sued a preposterous law. The
other statement by Mr. Hoar was
to the effect that there was another
law m Louisiana whitb provided for the
sale of any colored man fouud for a cer
tain time out of work, and that the former
master should have the preference in the
purchase. He Eustisi knew that the
criticism was directed camst the D mo
cratic legislature of Louisiana of 150o, but
he had never heard a Republican senator
criticise the infamous laws enacted ia
Louisiana by Republican legislatures.
There was no such taw, however, as that
which Mr. Hoar had referred to.
After a brief disensaion Mr. Hoar ad
mitted that his former statement about
the laws of Louisiana wan incorrect.
Mr. Sherman took part in the discosnoo,
which soon became a heated controversy.
He traced thecourse of the reconstruction
movement and .said that at the close of the
war it had not been contemplated at that
time to arm the negro with suffrage. But
the laws passed by some of the southern
states had been so unjust to the negro
that the north became convinced that the
object of the south was to overthrow the
results or the war and to deprive the freed
meu of all the rights of freedomship. TTp
to that time ull legislation had been
guided by the one generous feeling that
tho results of the "war should be blottsd
out except the one growing out of the abo
lition of slavery. Rut when the time came
it was seen that there was no way to pro
tect the emancipated people except by arm
ing th8m with suffrage. Congress had re
luctantly, slowly and deliberately adopted
that remedy as the only one fitted for tue
case. The right of suffrage did not now
exist with colored men wherever it might
be valuable to them. The result of the
fifteent j amendment was, practically, to
give to the southern states in
creased representation in the house
of representatives and increased
power in the electoral college.
If there was anything wrong in the situa
tion of sonthern affairs the people of the
people of the south bad brought it on
themselves. There was no feeling of hate
existing in the north against tho south as
intimated yesterday bv Mr. George. On
the contrary citizens of the north had gone
into the south with their wealth and tneir
energy and were now developing the re
sources of large portions of rhe south. He
could see difficulties that surrounded the
south and would be glad to aid the south
in avoiding them. In that view he had
voted for the educational bill, but if that
bill were to bo rejected by the south it
would not be for the north to complain.
The south complained of the fifteenth
amendmeut and response was that the
uorth had been compelled to adopt it.
Mr Butler thought the adoption of the
fifteenth amendment aud the reconstruc
tion acts were not so objectionable in the
southern suites as the conflict between
Andrew Johnsou and the Republican con
gress which was really the causs of their
adoption.
Mr. Sherman replied that Andrew
Johnson, a southern man, had deserted
the Republican party aud turned his back
to it after the? had helped him into the
party.
Mr. Butler Then I understand the sena
tor from Ohio practically to admit that the
southern people were not aloue responsi
ble, but that Andrew Johnson, vice presi
dent, was more responsible for the enact
ment of extra measures against the south?
Mr. Sherman I look upon Andrew
Johnson as a southern man and a Demo
crat. Mr. Butler He was your Republican
president and the peoplo of the south had
no other authority to look to after they
surrendered their arms except the execu
tive. Mr. Sherman The southern peoplo had
the right to look to congress as the gov
erning power of the country. After some
further remarks, Mr. Sherman said: "You
have thirty odd members of the house of
representatives based on negro represen
tation. Now let the south obey the con
stitutional amendments. Let it give the
negro his vote and permit him to vote as
he wilL Aud uutil that is remedied,
either through tho negro voting
or through tho negro excluded from
the basis of I'opresentation there
never will be a feeling of content and
equality among the people of the northern
states. And now you complain of us.
For what? For injustice, wrong, violence
or bloodshed? No; you complain of us
that we hate you. Wo deny the hatred,
but we dsmand tho justice. And I now
say that beyond and auove this educational
bill, or any other pending measure, is an
act of congress that will secure to every
man in the United States who is entitled
to vote, his right to cast his vote and
have it counted. "Whenever congress
rises to the dignity of passing
such a law that will be uniform
throughout the United States, affectum
Massachusetts and Ohio as well as South
Carolina and Mississippi, every man will
feel that it is a just aud fair law and there
will be no further ground of complaint.
Congress can not exercise any control in
local affairs iu the southern stales aud
does notciaim tho light to do so, but what
we insist on is that there shall be a law
that will protect tho right of suffrage."
After Mr. Butler had replied to Mr.
Sherman in a long speech the senate ad
journed. WESTERN MATTERS ATTHE CAPITAL.

FORT Worth. Tex.. March 13. The
third day's session of tho interstate, cat
tlemen's convention was called to order at
10 o'clock this moruins with President
Stoddard in the chair. The president read
a telecram from Mayor Pulton, of Galves
ton, exteudliic the hospitality of tho city
to the delegates.
The committee on statistics reported on
the matter of establishing a bureau for in
formation aud statistics in each of the
live stock producing and live stock feeding
states and territories, to the effect that it
was very essential to have a correct record
of the available supply and
probable demand of live stocs
in order to form an intelligent
opinion as to the value of the same. Tlie
committee therefore believed that tno es
tablishment of such bureaus would be of
incalculable benefit to the live stock pro
ducers of tho United States but were in
doubt whether uuited action could be had.
It was further recommcuded that the con
vention memoralize congress to appropri
ate sufficent money to introduce this im
Drovement in tho conductiiiK of tho live
stock business of the country under the
auspjees of tho department ot agriculture,
Tho renorc was adopted.
A report was read asking tho next legis
lature to appoint a veterinary, whose duty
it will be to suppress all diseases in cattle,
especially Texas fever. Adopted.
A long discussion was evoked on the re
port recomniendlug that the department
of agriculture relocate the fever line, but
the report was fin Uy adopted.
An excursion party of 300 visited the
union stock yards duriug the afternoou.
Upon reassembling after the visit to tho
stockyards the report of the committee on
resolutions wns received. Thu preamble
recites the depressed condition of the live
stock industry of tho country, the causes
of which, it claims, are not due to over
production, but rather to manipulation
and a combination to control thu
market, aud for the purpose ot re
lieving tho industry, thu resolution
request congress to pass laws declaring
combinations now existing, or which may
hereafter be formed, unlawful, aud pun
ishable by such tines and penalties as will
make the law effective.
The resolutions lavor nntional inspec
tion and call upon the governors of the
states and territories interested to lay the
matter before their respective bodies and
request them to enact laws to insure a
more healthy condition of this important
industry.

An Early Settlement of the Sato War

CHICAGO. 111., March 13 In railroad
circles here it is expected that the rate
troubles ot the western roads will soon be
settled, as a result of the absorption of the
Chicago, Hnrlingtou & Northern by the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. It was
the Burlington & Northern that first re
duced both passenger and freight rates
between Chicago and St Paul. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul held the "Q''
responsible for this action and retaliated by
cutting rates to Missouri river points.
Now that the "Q " has taken possession
of the Burlington & Northern, then is no
doubt but that it will restore rates in the
northwest, and so iuilueiicj an advance iu
Missouri river rates.
Kansas ClTV. Mo., March 13 The cut j
in freight rates still continues. It was
learned today that the Santa Fe Is cutting
the rates on p.icking house products
from -is cents to i2 cents, consign

of the season. The Prohibition committee
issued a rail for a meeting of citizens to
discuss the question of dropping the pro-'-ecution
of some liquor cases that hara
held over from the lato lamented Rraud
jury. One case has been twice tried and
lulled of uccess by a hung jury. The tax
Dayers are get! ins tired of it, so, in jrood
faith, nearly 150 of our best business men
sigued a petition to be presented to tho
meeting, requesting the Prohibition com
mittee to stop the prosecu-ion unless they
put up for costs theuis vs. At S o'clock
last nisiht the Unite! Presbyterian church
was crowded. V S. Bristol, Missouri
Pacific agent, presided, and the petition
was read. After a few su. gtstians about
not prosecutinir mnr. erers and thieves,
the petition was tabled and the petitioners
-ub-ided. Nothing acnm pi ithed ex
cept the creating of hard teeling between,
some of the people.
The district court is in session again,
and the JJeaty murder is on again Tho

MEDICINE LODGE MATTERS.

Medicine Lodge. Kan., March li Tha
business men of the town ot Mediclno
Lodgo all feel that the coming summer is
to bo one of the most prosperous and
profitable seasons they have had for a
number of year, and is mostly due to th
unbounded confidence- they have m tho
state immigration move with lmadquartera
it Wichita, antl all alike know that when
Wichita, with the assistance of the towtn
throughout the southwest, starts , In for,
j something, and especially m the mauncr
tney nave, tutu sureiy m;ui riuiiii. tiu
follow.
All one has to do to bo ccmvlnct-d
that sorghum Migar making is a success ia
to come to Medicine Lodgo and ce for
himeelf the immense piles of tho maiiuf.to
turtd article. It is eveii stacked iu long
tiers of barrels in front of tho sugar mill.
Messrs. Eld rid & llluman nro now full
feeding GOO head of big cattle in the hog "
pens adjoining the mid and also have
about a like number of hogs following
their cattio. They aro grinding the cauo
seed and corn together, which they say
makes a tip-top feed. A few more such
firms as Eldrid &: H him an would be a
blessing to .southwextern Kansas. Men
that are not afraid of their own shadow;
men that will aim to utilize every pound
of stuff that conies to the mill In the way
of producing fat. Instead of the iarmer
having to haul his grain to tho depot and
ship it out of our country, h draws It. to
corn pen at the sugar mill and there re
ceives the highest possible price. What
wc want in this couutry it to give tho
tanners wlio have come iscra years ago
and stayed through thick nnd thin a
chance and that is clear the "utrlp" and
let everi farmer raise his twenty or fifty
head of cattle every year and know that
lm him not "ot io coniDcto with the Inruo
cattle barons that graze their thousauds of
heads of cattio on lands that, compara
tively speaking, don't cost them a cent,
and Still without a dollar' taxes to pay
on such inimeiisi herds. When the farmer
has a claim on 1G0 acres of land, taken for
the sole purpose ol trying to make a living
for himself and family, ami pays his taxes
from year to year into the county treasury
to keep up roads, i-cliooU, etc , tno cittlo
baron has his pasture free and his chil
dren living at home In their eastern man
sions with all school and society advan
tages possible. Ixt the people own thli
country. let them have n home whero
tl.ey can raise rattle, hogs, and such Mock,
enough to supply this nnd n:d in supply
ing a more densely populated country.hiid
then, as every man can n.tbf larg cap
italists, have a number of such firms n
Medicine Lodge Ims in every community
that w!I buy ihe farmer's cine, cittle and
hogs nt the highest posH le prtcc. and
thus make better units all the way round.
