A Washington dispatch to the New
York World under date of July 31,
follows: Protests are coming to the
department of agriculture from traffic
officers of all the railroads that handle
live stock in great quantities on ac
count of the specifications for cars in
which cattle may be carried for more
than twenty-eight hours without un
loading for rest, water and feed. The
railroad companies, as soon as they
realized the purpose of the depart
ment to enforce the twenty-eight
hour law, set about devising stable
cars which woujd maice it unneces
sary to unload for the purpose of
rest, water and feed. Secretary Wil
son limited the number of cattle car
ried in the standard cattle car of
thirty-six feet length, so as to give
one-third of the cattle room to lie
down at a time. Thus, twenty-three
head of cattle of an average weight
of 700 pound's may be carried in one
car, but only twelve of an average
weight of 1,800 pounds. But railroads
like to load cars to tho limit of their
capacity, and that is where the rub
comes.

A dispatch to the Chicago Record
Herald under date of Denver, July 30,
follows: Locked in a narrow cell in
the penitentiary and left there for
hours by a warden, wnlle a crazy man
In an adjoining cell was shouting at
the top of his voice, Hamlin Garland
had his latest experience today in
gaining local color for his next work.
Garlfind visited the penitentiary and
asked to be locked In a real cell for
half an hour. The warden complied,
telling the deputy to release the au
thor in thirty minutes. The deputy
forgot the novelist for three hours.
When at last he went to release him
he found the visitor pacing his cell
like a caged lion. Garland expressed
his Indignation in warm tones, but
afterward repented and sent the war
den a box of cigars.

A dispatch to the Denver News un
der date of Washington, August -2,
follows: Republicans In Washington
are beginning to feel that the new
crop of scandal Jn government places
in Washington may not be ns easy
to explain as were the postofllce scan
dals, out of which capital on tho
stump was made by the democrats in
the last presidential election. At
that time the republicans held there
was no other department against
which such charges could be made,
and they held out the fact that the
president had ordered the examina
tion or investigation and that there
was prompt action. In the present
instance, however, there have been
many commissioners appointed, and
there have been no results, the agri
cultural department and tho geologi
cal survey scandals having been ex
posed by tho merest accident. Only
recently the celebrated Keep com
mission closed its labors without hav
ing detected anything wrong in the
agricultural department, or anywhere
else, that was worthy of indictment.
Not more than a year ago tho Terrell
commission closed its labors, and
there were no results. It Is already
reported here that the long list of
this summer's scandals will be mar
shaled in array during the con
gressional campaign, and that the
argument this time will be strong ma
terial for the reason that the republi
cans have always been the investi
gators and they have been unable to
find anything wrong. The president
evidently takes this view of the case,
and has ordered Mr. Wilson to re
deem the situation. It was today said
that members of the geological sur
vey and others, who were alleged to
be using information in advance for
the benefit of certain magazines, have
resigned their jobs with the maga
zines, and will attend hereafter strict
ly to government business.
