In surety companlos and tho bonds held by
the order as security for Mr. Thompson s

Hut UJe fact that no pecuniary Iosb Is sus

'Ills bondsmen have been notified nf the
defalcation nnd tho supremo tent will look

an adjustment with tho bond companies,
there will bo no delay in the payment of

CHICAGO, Nov. 7. According to Informa
tion received at the. headquarters of the
National Live Stock association in this city
.congress will have the western public land
question brought to Its attention this win
ter In a new manner. A number of prom
inent rattlcmen of the west, who have been
quietly investigating, arc prepared to show
that during the last five years there has
been an enormous decrease lu the number
of cnttln In this country, a decrease which
seriously threatens tho beef food supply,
and unless speedy action Is taken by con-
gress In the rourse of a very few yearn beef
will be selling nt such a fabulous price that
only the wealthy will bo able to afford to "We are fearful of an epidemic of small
ludutgo In the luxury of a beefsteak. pox on the Indian reservation," said Com-
The cause of this rapid decline In the
number of beef rattlo Is said to bo due
solely to the contraction of tho western
public grazing lands nnd tho Incrcaso In tho
consumptive demand. The rapid settle-
ment of the west has caused tho ranges
left to become crowded. Grasses have not
been reseeded and consequently millions
of acres of once good pasture have been
turned Into absolute desert.
f.nt-KP Hprd Are l)liprril.
Most of the large herds havo been dls-
persed nnd slaughtered and the bulk r the
small stockmen, but the evolution from the
largo herds on the open range to the small
herds In pastures Is too slow', owing to un
favorable land conditions, nnd where a few
years ago the markets wore supplied with
cattl 1, C and 6 years of age,- even year-
Ungs arc now being slaughtered to make up I
th? 8,,nPly of bccf'
Th stockmen claim that the unfnvornblo
metnons or administering tne puniic lanus
of 'he west are back of the threatened
shortage, and nt tho coming national con-
ventlon In Chicago next month an effort
will be made to throw the whole matter
mio congress, i ne convention win as
that a committee be appointed, with expert
assistance, to investigate and devise plans
for relieving the situation.
. ... .1
The stockmen In tho national association
have been striving for several years to do-
vise some plan for amending tho land laws
that would remedy existing evils, but have
been unable to ngree. One foctlon Is In
favor of leasing the lands by the govern-
ment. Another wants tho lands ceded to the
Utotes; another wants tho laws left on they

tend to stop the waste and destruction now

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. (Special Tele-
gram.J - Senator Dietrich today through his
secretary bronchi to the attention of the
commissioner of Indian affairs the pessl-
blllty of an epidemic of smallpox anions
the citizens of limner, Thurston county, a
village Just north of the Winnebago Indian
reservation, unless Imperative action Is
taken by the authorities. The senator
urged Immediate action on the. part of the
government In view of tho seriousness of
the case and asked that something bo done
to prevent tho spread of disease. As the
Indians arc cltlns of Nebraska, It was
decided that the question of quarantine
rests solely with the Thurston county au
thorities, and It. devolves upon them to
move In the matter.
Commissioner Jones, when the matter
wab brought to his attention, dispatched n
vigorous telegram to Agent C P. Matthews,
calling his attention to the condition of
Affairs and Instructing him to use all the
means possible to stamp out and Isolate all
cases of smallpox and guard against the
spread of contagion.
mlssloficr Jones today. "The Indians havo
been free from the disease for several
years, but our physlolans havo warned us
to take the utmost precaution, and accord
ingly we have sent out Instructions to all
agents to Isolate rases and quarantine rig-
orously. Tho Indian ofllcc stands ready to
do whatever Is possible to prevent eon

citizens to stnmp out tho disease.1'

PARIS, Nov. 7. 7.10 p. m. A dlnpatcit
from Admiral' Calllard has lust been re
ceived announcing that ho landed marines
on the Island of Myttllno and took posses
sion of the customs nt Mldclllo without re
sistance.
Tho Prench government has received re
plies from nil the governments to Its note
explaining the measures taken against
Turkey. An excellent Impression has been
created lu ofllcl.il circles by tho tone of the
response of the United States, which Is
couched In most friendly terms.
Advices received here say tho Turkish
authorities have cut the English line be
tween Mltylene nnd Constantinople. Thus
Admiral Calllard was unable to communl-
cato with M. ll.iptlstc, councillor of the
Prench legation at Constantinople, nnd was
obliged to file all dispatches at the Islnml
of Syrn,
The Prench government Is fairly satis-
fled with the progress already achieved In
tho dispute by tho naval demonstration.
Tho sultan has promised to settlo all mone
tary clnlms and has offered guaranties
which fall little short of those demanded.
Prance, however, will Insist on full guar
ties nnd also on tho surrender of Turkey
In the matter of treaty right before evacu
ating Mltylene.
No International complications are an
ticipated In view of the powers' response
to Pranro and no trouble Is expected on
tho Island Itself.

In well Informed circles lu St. Pcteibur
a fear Is expressed that the present steps of
Prance may cause matters to develop so
rapidly that Russia, desplto the. czar's lovti
of peace, may find Itself driven Into an
attltudn of another kind In order to safe
