Records Are Kept of All Cer- tificates of the Inspec-~ tion of Pork. BEEF CATTLE DROPPING OFF. No Reason Why Retail Prices Should Be so High in the Eastern Markets. WASHINGTON, D.

Taking the figures of the statis- tical division, which he believes to be ap- proximately correc there were in 1892, in the United State population. 364,216 of such cattle, or 493 to each 1000 of population. This shows a great diminu- tion in the beef cattle of the country and also that the increased price of such caitle in the stockyards legitimate. Under such circumstances, however, the market should be strong and the cattle be readily disposed of at advanced figures, instead of the Secretary that to each 1000 of being weak and depressed, as is constantly | reported. The price of beef in the Eastern cities has gone higher than is justified by the price of live cattle, and the reported break in the market for cattle on account of alleged de- creased consumption has come in advance of any lowering on beef. In each case the effect has shown itself in advance of the cause. A letter has just been received at the de- partment from a prominent and perfectly reliable gentleman in Central Tliinois, who states that the beef sold in his town is shipped sometimes from Kansas City and sometimes from Chicago. The retail price of first quality meat, as good as ever found in any city, is for loin and porterhouse steaks 15 cents, and for round and rib roast of the best quality 1214 cents. As such meat can be shipped from Chicago to New York for less than three- quarters of a cent per pound, it is difficult for the department to see why the con- sumer in the Eastern cities should now be forced to pay double these pric QUARANTINING CATTLE. Kansas Stockmen Intercept a Band From Infected Old Mewico. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 21.—A spe- cial to the Times from Eureka, Kans., says: Fresh excitement has been caused among cattlemen here by the arrival of a carload of cattle from San Simon, Ariz., which is north of the quarantine line, but it is be- lieved that at least a part of them are from 01d Mexico and have been exposed to the them in temporary quarantine pend- ing the action of the Livestock Sanitary Commissioners, who were communicated with. Chairman Johnson arrived this aft- ernoon. He found the town filled with angry cattlemen. The breaking out of Texas fever would bankrupt -Greenwood County. The cattlemen threaten to use force if it is necessary to prevent the cattle being pastured in this vicinity. The Sani- tary Commissioners will decide the matter to-morrow. = g HE DEFIED THE COURT. Sheriff Mullin of Pender, Nebr., Released by the Justice. OMAHA, NEBR., April 2L.—A special to the Bee from Pender, Nebr., says: Sheriff Mullin was convicted by the Indian Justice for assaulting the reservation police and l}eld in $100. He refused to give it and de- fied the court, even refusing to promise to appear before the Federal Grand Jury. The court finally released him without for- ma]il_y to avoid further trouble.

Itis generally believed here that the rumor is true. Over 150 aftidavit from leasers of the Flournoy company will be present to-morrow. Every citizen is deeply interested in the result of the hearing. Over twenty-five landleasers were yes- terday interviewed at the Winnebago agency, and they were generally down- hearted over the interference and delay caused by the effort to eject the Flournoy company, and many of them who depend entirely on this year’s crop to keep them and their families from absolute want next winter could hardly suppress their emo- tions when talking of the matter. Many of them blame Captain Beck, while many have no opinion on the matter. —-——— AYMAR ARRAIGNED. His Bondsmen Say the Bank Officials Broke Their Promise. NEW YORK, N.Y., April 21.—8amuel E. Aymar, the defaulting clerk of the Shoe | and Leather National Bank, was arraigned in the Tombs Police Court before Justice Voorhis this morning and remanded to police headquarters until Monday after- noon when he will again be arraigned in court. Aymar was accompanied to court by Lawyer Frank Angell, who was also counsel for Samuel C. Seely, a brether-in- law of Mr. Aymar, who also robbed the { same bank of a large sum of money. Mr. | Aymar was visibly excited when he was aigned. None of the bank officials were in court, but Secretary Thompson of the company which was on the prisoner’s bond while he was a clerk in the bank, was present, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. An- gell said the bank officials had broken faith with him.~ He said that on last Monday | Aymar came to him ana told him he had | robbed the bank of $90,000 and was going | to United States Commissioner Shields to give himself up. “I advised him not to do so, but that I would go to the bank officialsand tell them about it. I saw President John M. Crane and told him what Aymar had told me. I also saw Vice-President Hiltner. They assured me they would not cause the ar- rest of Aymar but would look into the matter and would notify me before the ar- test was made. Instead of doing this President Crane immediately secured a { warrant and had Aymar arrested without | informing me. I suppose they thought Aymar would run away and that the bond would have to be forfeited.” When asked if he thought there was any collusion between Aymar and his brother- in-law, Seely, Mr. Angell said: | “Tam positive Seely did not know one | thing about the theits of Aymar and when | he hears about it he will be as surprised as anyboay.” | s WANT JUST FREIGHT RATES. The Interstate Commerce Commission Meets in Denver to Act. DEXNVER, Coro., April 21.—W. G. Vea- zey of Vermont, W. R. Morrison of Illi- nois, W. A. Bissell of Chicago and H. B. | Holliday of Washington, members of the | Interstate Commerce Commission, arrived | in this city to-day and with J. D. Yeomans, | who had preceded them, will begin an im- portant session at the Federal courtroom to-morrow. Simultaneously came a host of railroad men from all parts of the region | west of the Great Lakes, among them being General Traffic Agent Stubbs of the South- | ern Pacific Company, General Traffic Agent Monroe an Solictor Kelly of the Union Ps eneral Freight Agent | Crosby of the Burlington. The principal cases to be heard are those | filed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- | pany, manufacturers of iron rails, ete., and | George J. Kindel, a Denver mattress- | maker. in which the railroads are charged | with discriminating against Colorado man- * | ufacturers. | It is alleged in the complaints that the | same rate is charged on freight shipped from New York to Denver as on that shipped from New York to San Francisco. It is also charged that the railroads charge as much for transporting Colorado-made | goods to the Pacific Coast as for similar made goods from the far East, thereby de- | priving Colorado manufacturers of cheap | raw materials and placing them in direct | competition with New York prices. | Mr. Stubbs, who is vice-president of the | Southern Pacific as well as general traffic | agent, claims that a decision favorable to ‘ the complainants would mean a complete | overturning to every through rate to Cali- | fornia points and would affect every trans- | { continental line. e e LIFE-SAVER SULLIVAN. The Ex-Champion Smothers a Fire Burn- ing a Woman’s Clothes. BOSTON, Mass., April 21.—Ex-Cham- pion John L. Sullivan distinguished him- self as a life-saver this afternoon. Just | before 4 o’clock he heard a woman scream | in the rear of the house in which he was stopping. Heran down the stairway and saw there was a fire in the kitchen and | that Mrs. Margaret Donnell, the cook, was | in danger of being burned to death, her | clothing having been ignited by blazing | fat on the stove. He quickly wrapped a big mat around the woman and succeeded | in extinguishing the fire. She was badly | burned, but the chances are favorable for | her recovery. Sullivan’s hands were burned in several | places and he was obliged to call on a doc- tor, but the wounds are not serious. Mrs. Donnelly’s burns proved fatal. She died at the City Hospital at 12:15 this morning. ealleen oy SUNDAY'S CRIMES. Three Murders in Kansas City, Mo., in One Day. KANKAS CITY, Mo., April 21.—This was a bloody night in Kansas City. Ga- briel Hicks, a negro blacksmith, was shot and killed by William Davis, colored, a | dishwasher atthe Union depot. The shoot- ing occurred when Davis attempted to eject Hicks, who was boarding with him, for having slapped Mrs. Davis’ face. Charles Hang, a colored porter in a Sev- enth-street saloon, was stabbed by W. J. Adams, a cigar-maker, who was drunk and had been ordered out of the saloon. Hang isdying at the Receiving Hospital, Ole Wilson, a laborer, was probably 1atallfi stoned by a crowd of negroes who e assaulted him on Twenty-first street, near Terrace. His skull was crushed. SIS North Carolina Gold Mining. RALEIGH, N. C., April 21.—Gold miners from the West are arriving at Piedmont section of North Carolina and there is an outbreak of mining fever. The discovery of a nugget weighing eight pounds five ounces in Stanley County has increased interest in mining. Four inndred miners from the West are expected within sixty days.

The Supreme Bench Expected to Hand Down an Opinion Before Recess. MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE. Arguments Have Been Heard and a Conclusion Is Believed to Have Been Reached. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—Tt is generally believed the United States Su- preme Court will before the adjournment of the present term render a decision in the case involving the validity of foreign judgments in courts of this country. Bar- ring the question of a rehearing in the in- come tax cases this is probably the most important matter now before the court, and the fact that notwithstanding the cases were argued during the terms of 1893-94 and still are undecided it would appear to indicate the members of the court have en- countered difficulty in dealing with them. There are two of these cases, but the points involved are so much alike that a decision in one will in all probability be equal to a decision in the other. The first of the cases is that of Samuel J. Ritchie vs. James W. McMullin, and it is an appeal from the decision of the United States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis- trict of Ohio affirming the judgment of a Canadian court in McMullin’s behalf against Ritchie. The second is that of Henry Hilton and others vs. Gustav B. Guyot from the United States Circuit Court for the South- ern District of New York affirming a deci- sion against Hilton & Libbey, successors | to A.T.Stewart & Co., for the sim of $280,852. In the latter case Guyot appears as the official liquidator of the affairs of the firm of Charles Fortin & Co., glove manufacturers of Paris. It appears that in 1866 Stewart & Co. en- tered into an agreement with Fortin & Co. to sell in this country all the gloves the French firm could manufacture and to divide the profits equally. In 1879 there was a disagreement and the French firm sued the New York house in the Tribunal of Commerce of Paris and obtained a judg- ment. The case was appealed to the Paris Court of Appeals, but the judgment was affirmed. In the meantime Stewart & Co. | bad closed the house which they had | hitherto maintained in Paris and sold their property there. The Paris firm then entered suit in the Federal Circuit Court of New York and asked for the execution of the decree of the French courts, main- taining the sufficiency of the judgments of the foreign courts. The Circuit Judge gave a judgment for the full amount. Hilton & Libbey, as the successors of Stewart & Co., then brought the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it was twice argued for Guy by Messrs. William G. Choate and William D. Chip- man, and by Messrs. J. C. Carter and Elihu Root for Hilton & Libbey. Enor- mous interests are involved in the de- cision. It is said judgments to the amount of $16,000,000 have been rendered in the Canadian courts alone against Aferi- can citizens, the validity of which depends upon the decisions in these cases. The lawyers agree there is scarcely any doctrine of law which so far as regards formal and exact statement is in a more uncertain condition than that relating to the force and effect of the judgments of the courts rendered in one nation by the courts of another. Many decisions have been rendered in England, but they appear to have left the question in an involved and confused condition. Messrs. Carter and Root laid down the proposition in their argument on the Hil- ton case that the question of the conélun- siveness of a foreign judgment depends upon the circumstances under which it was rendered, and where it was not so con- clusive as to preclude inquiry into the original merits of the controversy, when the State is under its ordinary obligations to the party demanding the inquiry, to give him at least one full and fair oppor- tunity of having his cause adjudicated upon its original merits. This oppor- tunity, they claim, was denied them in this case. 1t is understood a decision has been reached by the court in the case, but it is not known whether the opinion of the court has been prepared or when it will be handed down. It is not considered proba- ble, however, that the court will again allow the matter to go over through a re- cess. Troopers Exchange Places. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—Secre- tary Lamont has ordered four troops of the First Cavalry, selected by the regiment commanded and accompanied by Colonel Arnold and Major Viele, now at Fort Grant, Ariz., to exchange places with four troops of the Seventh Cavalry, accom- panied by Colonel Sumner and Major Baldwin, now at Fort Riley, Kans. The exchange is to give the First Cavalry a chance to avail itself of the advantages of the cavalry school at Fort Riley. Lieutenant-Colonel Carpenter of the nearly $2,000,000, mainly for public pur- poses. Murphy claims to be the son of Judge Handley’s sister, but he is regarded as an impostor, as the Judge was fre. quently heard to say that he had no living relatives, —_— BELIEVE LENZ IS DEAD. The Famous Cyclist Was Killed While Traveling Through Armenia. PITTSBU RG, Pa., April 21.—Relatives of Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist, who was making a trip around the world on his wheel for Outing, are now convinced he was murdered by the Kurds in Armenia at the beginning of the massacre there. T. P. Langhans, cousin of the wheelman, has just received a letter confirming this belief. The letter is written by an American missionary in Armenia, but his name can- not be given for fear the letter might find. its way pack to Armenia and his life would be endangered because he confirms the special Armenian letter of the Associ- ated Press last Friday. The missionary says the situation is se- rious and' danger is imminent. He says the Armenians intend to fight for their liberty. Speaking of Lenz, the missionary says he has reliable information that Lenz was killed last May at Koordalon, on the Alish- gard plain, near the famous pass of Deli Babaka. The missionary talked with a man who says Lenz arrived at Karakales- sen on what the native said was a two- wheeled cart. Two days later the man saw the dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan. From the description given there is little doubt it was the body of Lenz. The mis- sionary has sent for three men who also saw the body and expects to be able to tell just how Lenz met his death. —_—— VANDALS KILL SHEEP. Though the Owner Had Promised to Take Them Off the Range. DENVER, Coro., April 21.—A special to the Republican from Red Cliff, Colo., says: Sheriff Crumley returned to-day from the Herwick ranch on Catamount Creek, six- teen miles from Wolcott, where J. T. Her- wicks’ herd of 200 sheepwere killed Thursday night. The vandals weat into the pens on foot, beginning by cutting the throats, but this being too slow they soon began using a hammer. This was the only herd of sheep in the county and was the cause of a meeting of the cattlemen of Grand, Eagle and Routt Counties at McCoy, April 6, when it was resolved that no sheep should be allowed on the range. Mr. Herwick stated that he would dis- pose of the sheep as rapidly as possible, if given time to get them in condition to market. This was not granted and citizens all over the county are indignant. Her- wick had announced his intention of leav- ing the grazing business and working his | placer property on the Grand River, near his home. pected.

Specials to the Republican show that similar conditions prevailed throughout the State, moistening the ground and working much benefit to the farmers. At Red Cliff there are six inchesof wet and heavy snow and it is still coming down. Railroad traffic has not been materially affected. CHALLENGES [N ORDER Exciting and Closely Contested Games in the Handball Courts. Feeney and Linehan of the Unlon Court Prepared for All Comers. The handball courts were crowded yes- terday and several exciting and closely contested games were played. One of the best was at the Union court between J. J. Feeney and R. Linehan and J.J. Nelson and J. J. Dillon. The two former won after a game contest by three games to one. Feeney and Linehan are out with a challenge to play any amateur or profes- sional team on the Pacific Coast, Jones and Riordan excepted, for a valuable trophy. Harlow of the San Francisco court and Paddy Cahill, recently from Chicago, are preferred. W. McManus, proprietor of the Union court, is prepared to bet any amount on the success of Feeney and Linehan, who are members of his court. The attraction at the San Francisco court was a match between Champion Jones of Australia and J. Harlow and J. Kearney. Theyg)layed the best three out of five games and Jones won three and his two opponents one. A rattling game was played at the Occi- dental court between Champion P. T, Donnelly and C. J. McGlynn and John Purcell and Gus Ebner, the latter of the Olympic Club. Donnelly and McGlynn were the victors. T. F.

Bonnet and Champion Don- nelly at the Occidental court, and John Purcell and Al Hampton will play Ed Ma- loney and Thomas Fennessy, the latter of the Acme Club, Oakland. Great interest has been aroused amon handhall-{layers by the challenge of Harlow of the San Francisco court to play Champion John Riordan. orany other pro- fessional or amateur on the coast, for $50 a side, and the acceptance of the challenge is awaited with anxiety. Following were the games played at the different courts: At the San Francisco — W. Darius and J. Brown played J. Morris and C. Butterfield, Seventh will remain at Fort Riley as cavalry instructor.

According to the decision recently ren- dered by the Attorney-General as to the power of Supervisors to make changes in the State game laws, rail or any other game bird sought for by sportsmen can be shot in any county in the State during the open season. A letter to the CALL from Gilroy states that the next important event in sporting circles will be a match shoot between the Gilroy Sporismen’s Protective Association and the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club. The conditions read that three shoots must take place to decide the championship of Santa Clara County. The Lincoln Gun Club has announced {hat on the 28th inst. it will give an open- to-all shoot at its grounds. The event of the day will be a team shoot between the Lincoln, Empire and Electric clubs for a handsome prize. The Lincolns recently held an election of officers, which resulted as follows: D.

It is such fights as the one about to take place that destroys all pros- pect of the sport of boxing under careful management being tolerated in this city.

AT SCHUTZEN PARK. Some Remarkably Large Scores Were Made by Marksmen Yes- terday. The California Schutzen Club held its spring festival at Schutzen Park yesterday, and there was a great outpouring of marks- men in consequence. It was the annual prize shoot and outsiders were allowed to participate. Captain F. Schuemann had | the park and grounds in beautiful order and in consequence the women and chil- dren and picnic parties had a most enjoy- | able time. The new proprietor is working hard to make the place the most popular and select | picnic and shooting résort on the coast, and bids fair to make a success of his efforts. Sunday next the Lafayette Guard and the French Legion will hold their annual outing there and a big crowd is expected. The_prize winners yesterday all made exceedingly good scores. H.
