The Wyoming Stock Growers Assacia- tion Meet &t Cheycnee, The Men Who Furnish Cheap Beef for Eastern Markets, Who Commencel Twelve Years Ago In a Small Way Have Increased Forty Fold, Now Represent $100,000,000. Their Deliberations on Quarantine and Pls uro Pneumonia, Resolutions Presented Asking the Public Not to Bear Down Too Heavy on Them. THE BULLOCK BARONS, CrrveNNg, Wyo,, April 6.—The following is the report of the secretary of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association which met here to- ay: The report of the secretary, Thomas Sturges, was read and the views embodied in the re- port were as representing the predominating sentimont of the association, It reviewed the werk of the association during the twelve years of its existence, and spoke of its re} markable growth in numbers as evidence in «ifluence. ~Beginning in April, 1875, with ten membors and representing o total of 20,000 head of cattle valued at $350,000, it had to-day swelled 1t9 membership forty fold, represent- ing an ownership of 2,000,000 head of cattle, and the valuation, inculding horses, plant and real estate, of $100,000.000. The association had prepared the brand law which protects the record of previors owner- ship and secured the enactment of the firat sanitary law, for protection against the cattle disease, which was passed west of the Alle- ‘hanies, excopting only those of the state of 1linois, The report then touches upon the more lre- cent labors of the association and speaks of an investigation as to the existence of Texas fever, Inregard to this question Secretar: Sturgis andg -he special committee which thoroughly investigated the subject declare, first, that Lexancattle brought from the southern part of Texas are dangerous to our cattle for about sixty days from the time the said southern Texans leave their native ravges any method of bringing them which places them on our ranges in less than that time ehould be discouraged, and the cattle so brought SHOULD BE REFUSED ADMITTANCE, Second—That the same cattle can be brought among our stock after said sixty "“{’ have elapsed with entire safety to us. The report, in speaking of pleuro-pneumonia, says, ‘Their investigations outside of tho statements of the government officials_leave no doubt that it has this year sppeared in fou prominent western states. further west than any previous development, viz: in Illi nois, Ohio, Kentucky and Missourl, Tno dis- ease to-day is confined within narrow bounda- ries and each known avenue for the use of ex- ion. is guarded but the disease is as ten- aclous as it is slow add and insidious, and the committee was unanimous in the opinion that a reasonable detention in quarautine before entering Wyoming should be at once imposed on all stock coming from the east. Regard- g the report of the national trail the report says 7 THE WYOMING ASSOCIATION can take no other position than they would upon the proposition to expend the national funds for the advancement of any special in- dustry in any other state of the union. The report speaks of the important queations of grazng lands as follows: Among the new questions arisiog one imperatively demands attention; namely, the use of overnment Lsnds for grazing. The eastern public who gladly hailed our production of cheap beef ten years ago, welcomed us to the nso of the bar ron platesu, where wo risked our lives daily sgainst the Indian, has now no milder term for us than DULLOCK BARONS AND ALISTOCRATS OF PLAINS, THE Every possille misrepresentation is made in the vublic_prints. Though we have built up the only industry practicable on these arid, sandy prairies, created millions of taxable property, congress is daily urged to crueade against us, a8 though we were o class whoso business was a byword of reproach, whose de- struction would be a commendable act. The two principal crimes laid at our door are: First, that we obstruct and prevent by force and violence the settlement of these lands by the farmers, Second, that wo pay nothing for the use of the lands OVER WHICH OUR HERDS GRA 1t is needless to say to you, useless to say to doaf ear at the east that about 80 per cent of theee lands carefully estimated can never by any system produce grain; that 10 per cent. is mountain and canyon, that on the other 10 per cent. the settler is daily entering without hindrance; we are weary asking our eastern critics how we can reimburse the government when that government will neither sell nor lease, But as we are threatenod with hastily, 1gnorant legislation st every sossion, it is bot wise to place this association record as depying the charges made against us, Stating in general terms our desire for an equitable adjustment of the question, we do not wish_to precipitate the matter, but such an expression would be powerful weapon in the hands of our friends in congress when called on to speak in our Dehalf, The committes hope such resolutions will be adopted. The election of foreman of the round up districts took place, and an adjournment was then taken until ten o'clock to-morrow. The convention will probably e sevoral days in sossion, — THE CHICAGOJOPERA FESTIVAL, A MAGNIFIOKNT BUIL THE PXINA DONNA —SEATING CAPACITY ~INBURED SUCOESS— 75,000 TICKETS ALREADY SOLD, On10AGO, April 6.~The army of singers who take part in the opera festival which be- gan tonight bave all arrived In the city, M'lle Nevada coming last night completiog the list of prima dounas, The leading artists are quartercd in different hotels, each having been provided with sumptuous apartments but the public hasalready been regarded with the personal disagreements of theseleading professionals, on account of their quarters as well as upon other topics,. M'lle Nevada was apparently satisfied with the rooms assigned er but not being able to secure a sufficient number of private parlors for her personal at- s, » change of hotels became nece uurg in [T but she aud her baggags were finally safely housed this forencon, Nevada was advertised to sing in “‘Nirclla” on Wednesday nights but the ‘announcement now comes that sho will appear a0 “Lucia” or *‘La Sonnambula,” which gives promise that the experience which the San ‘ranclaco public had with this prima donna to be repeated.

The opera hall which is thrown open to the public this even- ing is ome of great beauty although entirely s temporary sffair, it has boen constructed in the exposition building, where thoe national conventions that put in nomination Garfield Blaine and Cleveland were hold, The opera hall occupies the north. ernend of the great structure and partakes of the usual architecture of a theatre, but hasa soating capacity much beyond the ordinary auditorium, The commanding features of the hall are the great expanse of stage, allowing fully six hundred persons to appear at once and n great number of boxo to the right and left of the stage, rising in three tiers. The or- namention of the interior is very rich, aud the nery, costumes and stage property aro claimed to ba the finest ever employed in the presentation of an opera in this country. The ticket sales this afternoon had reached £75,000, insuring n complete financial success of the en- terprise. Circaco, April 6,—Betore 8 o'lock nearly overy goat {n the immense auditorium was occapied and in fifteen minutes later, at the close of the overture, several hundred persons ‘monopolized the standing room back of the parquette and in the aisles. The opera was “Rossinis Semiramide.” The first strains of the overture satisfied the audience that the acoustio arrapgement of the hall was admira- ble, 1he softest strains of the large and well- trained orchestra were perfectly audible in all parts of the house, Pattl in the title role could not have wished a warmer reception than was accorded her, nor could Scalchi complain on that ac count, The chorus of 400 voices, of which was comprised the local contingent under the direction of Silus Pratt, did its work in a way to win the good-will of the audience from the start. Socially, the opening night of the festival was a great success, each one of the many boxes containing representatives of the most respectablo circles here, The directors of the enterprise count the initial performance all they could wich, s Movementof the Troops in the North- west, Winxieea, April 6,—General Middleton began his advance from Fort Que Appelle this morning. He has now fwith him the Winuipog Rifles and a field battory of about three hundred men A and B batteries which left hero last night reached Queappelle at 10 oclock. A battery will probably be pushed to overtake the first detachment at Touchweod, and the first con ngent of the Toronto troops, about 300, will tollow in the samo line, making this colnmn fibout 750 strong. It s said that I batery and _ the sccond detatchment from St. Paul will go on to Swift Cur rent and be taken down the south Saskatchewan in steamers and barges to meet tho main column. At Clark’s Crossing they will make up about four hundred men, The Queen’s Own Rifles from Toronto arrived at port Arthur this morning and will reach here at midnight. The Grenadiers from Tor- onto are twelve hours behind time. Nothing definite is known of Reil’s force,themost con- tradictory stories being_ afloat. It is not likely that_the rebols will oppose the troups in a body, but they may do them much harm by harrasslng skirmishes on the march across the prairies, Every indication is_that the advance from Foit Que Appelle to the Saslatchowan willbe ong of _extremo diffi- culty, Trains arenow 1 bad state and tonms cannot take hoavy loads, The mud on the roads is kneo deep i places.

Sax Fraxcisco, April 6.—Prior to Judge Sullivan's decision in the suit for divorce and alimony brought by Miss Hill against ex-Sen- ator Sharon, tho latter brought suit in the United States circuit court against Miss Hill, declaring the alleged marriage contract i fraudulent document, and asked that it bo pronounced such by the court. The case has leen called and continued_several times, At the last hearing Judge Sswyer ordered the contract to be produced, so that Expert Piper might test if the ink used in the document was the_same a8 that of Sharon’s signature.
