This spell will f|iilckly pass." The cold weather during the past week has been due. the observer said, to the succession of high areas at the north of the Pacific slope and Nevada iMid passing easterly. The pressure 11 le.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Capt, Chat, W . Katl of the corps of engineers left this week on I tour of Inspection or the rivers of the middle west and south find to attend public hearing! to be held in many cities mid towns by a com mittee of the board of engineers for rlvern »nd harbors. in addition Capt. Kut« will make s careftil examination, at the request or the house committee on riven nnd harbors, of the proposed fourteen-foot ship canal from Lockport, 11., in St. Louis. This is the project thai li Intended to Join the waters of the great lakes with th« Gulf of Mexico, giving the Mississippi and Missouri river valley states direct water trans portation to the outside world and In suring them a share. In the great trade with South and Central America certain to be opened up once the Panama canal is Mulshed. The Inspection tour made by ('apt. Kutz will not amount to much, however, unless congress adopts a more liberal policy with regard to waterways development than It has followed In the past. Already there are lmprovementI Improvement projects approved by the government engineers amounting to upward of $300,000,000. The national rivers and harborg, which meets in con vntlon here December 6 and 7, is striv ing to have the federal government provide means for carrying out the recommendations of the engineers. An annual appropriation of $50,000,000 Is to bo asked at the hands of congress and the sentiment in favor of such an ap propriation Is growing very, strong unions commercial bodies throughout the country. If there la any antl-Ameriran feeling In Japan it is not evidenced by the editorial expressions of the principal newspapers of the island empire, De rplte reports that all Japan Is aroused over the treatment said to be accorded their countrymen on the Pacific coast a hatch of clippings received by the state department from Ambassador Wright at Toklo breathe nothing but peace and good-will toward the United States. Tho articles are extremely moderate and friendly in tone, setting forth that the troubles in San Francisco are entirely local and that they cannot be permitted in any s?nse to Interfere with the growth of closer business and political relations between Japan and the United States. They also Indicate a readiness on the part of Japan to enter Into a reciprocity treaty with this country to further commercial interests between the two nations. Two Kinds of Circulation The American Bankers' association convention has met, pondered over cur rency reform, adopted a plan and ad | journed. To the layman the scheme of 'the men of money seems to go a long | way toward preventing monetary | troubles nnd consequent panics, but it remains for some of the treasury of ficials or opposition bankers to pick flaws in it. A number of bankers have , gone home, but several have gone down to Hot Springs. Va.. where their head quarters will be the Homestead hotel for a couple of weeks while they take the baths at the noted winter resort. One western man of affairs, who is badly twisted with rheumatism but who was the life of the party, bade his friends good by in the lobby of the New Wlllard. "Since we've done our best to cure the financial body of its ailments," he said, laughingly, '"l think it's up to me to look out for my personal shortcom ings in circulation. I'm not a legal tender, although I'm not counterfeit. It isn't the "immunity bath' I'm going after, but I hope it'll prove as ef fective." "The people of the United States vs. Theodore Roosevelt, president," will be the title of a suit that will be filed as soon as the chief executive returns from the Isthmus. If James B. Green, a negro lawyer of this city, carries out his in tention. The lawyer 'will take up the case of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry whom the presi dent discharged because Of the Browns ville, Tex., race troubles. The negro soldiers, it will be remembered, re fused to divulge the identity of several of their number who engaged in a shooting affray with citizens of the town, and the president forthwith is sued a sweeping order discharging the battalion, which took from the mem bers the right to serve again in the mili tary or naval service of the nation, and furthermore abrogated their civil rights. This order, contends Mr. Green, Is in I direct violation of the constitution, and j he proposes to bring suit to compel the | setting aside of the presidential order ! and the return of their civil rights to his clients. Only by a court-martial can men be punished as the president punished them, is the contention. Rate Bill Hits Cadets There are wailing and weeping In An napolis and West Point because of the new railroad rate bll. It has been the practice of the railroads to carry the embryonic admirals and generals to the annual football game without charge. When the usual courtesy was diplomatically asked this year it was learned that, under the ruling of the Hepburn bill, the cadets would be com pelled to nay their own fares. The war department, after a full Investigation of the matter, has bowed Its head to the Inevitable and has ordered the cadets, if they want to chase the pigskin against the jackies of the other arm of I lie II rvioe, to scrape together the pric* of h railroad ticket or stay in bar racks. Despite all the agitation and scandal Over the (aimed beef trade the export, ot canned goods for the lust tiscal year i , ached U>e total of $18,000,000.

' DECLARE CATTLE STARVE TO DEATH LOCAL PACKING COMPANY SUES RAILWAY Arizona Broadhorn Breaks Away and Starts on Long Journey Home ward — Other Damages Are Described Because, as they allege, the Southern I Pacific company delivered to them a "bum steer" instead of a tine specimen of beef which they had purchased, the directors of the Senious Packing com pany yesterday filed suit In th ' su perior court for damages for the loss of the steer and for heavy damages re sulting from the mistreatment of cuttle, by the railway company. I The first trouble, according to the complaint, occurred on December 1 of last year, when the railway contracted to bring a very fine specimen of Steer from Douglas, Ariz., to Los Angeles by , way of Vuinu. The steer was valued at $30 on the ground, which Is a good price for Arizona beet, considering that the shipping and feeding will rest with the buyer. I Mr. Steer was packed Into a car and started for Los Angeles. At Yuma he was prodded out of the car and Into a corral, where lie was to be fed. The corral was owned by the railroad l company, and according to tho allega tions of the complaint, the gate was left Open, so that when the great steer turned suddenly about and charged for his liberty there was n<> one to oppose him, ami with tossing horns and tri umphant bellow he started back across tin desert for Ills home with the em ployes of the railroad going pell-mell after him. Steers Badly Jolted The steer kept his lead and lias not yet been found. The company Is ac cused of offering a weary, wind-broken one as a substitute, which the Sentous company refused to accept, and bided lts time for th« reckoning. Again, on December 20, the Sentoua company ordered a Shipment of beef from Douglas, including a carload of shorthorns. They now allege that the | cattle car was attached to the rear end of a freight train of fifty cars and that the consequent Jolting was so bad that the cattle suffered from the ef fects of the Journey. • ;■. ■ lt Is* stated in the complaint that so often did the train start and stop that many of the steers were trampled and frightened Into frenzy by being tossed about. As the car was the last It re ceived all the ill effects of quick curves on the road with disastrous result to the cattle. Four steers died after the trip, caus ing a damage of $900. while further damage to the cattle from logs of flesh and bruises is asked by the packing i company to the amount of $290.85. On December 29, the complaint fur ther alleges, the Sentous people ordered 1 33 head of cattle by freight by way of iii ■ Southern Pacific from Calexlco. lt Is alleged that through the fault of the railroad the animals were starved at way stations, where the oars were sidetracked, so that, nine of the animals died. So great was the damage In flesh to the other steers that a damage of $1300 resulted. i The company asks for 12.180.85 from the railroad company for loss and dam age, to cattle and for the costs of the suit 3 TO BEGIN BRIDGE IN SIXTY DAYS $40,000 STRUCTURE ACROSS ARROYO Viaduct on Seventh Street Will Be Delayed Until City's Finances Are in Better Shape By the decision of the council yester day a $40,000 concrete bridge will be under course of construction within sixty days.
