600D CHANCE FOR 6000 CATTLE.
Washington, D. C Frank W. Bick
nell, special agent and agricultural ex
plorer of the agricultural department,
writing from Buenos Ayres to the bu
reau of animal industry, says that If
it is possible for some of the breeders
of the United States to send some
really first-class animals to that place
now Is a good time to do so, as British
cattle have been barred owing to an
outbreak of foot and mouth disease in
England.
The cattle must arrive in Buenos
Ayres not later than August 1, so as
to have time to get in condition before
the opening of the great animal show
of the Rural society, which begins in
Buenos Ayres September 14 and lasts
five days. This show brings out the
best animals in the country and Is for
pure bred stock only.
At this time all the best sales of the
year are made, both on the show
grounds and in the large auction
houses in the city. Representatives of
some of the principal houses there
say a few good animals from the Unit
ed States may be sold, but it is use
less to send anything but the very
best.

Agents of the Caar.
London. (Special) A dispatch to the
Reuter Telegram company from St.
Petersburg says there have been labor
riots for the past few days at Rostov-on-Don,
in the province of Ekratlnslov
in southern Russia.
There have been numerous colli
sions between the troops and the riot
ers. The troops fired and many of the
rioters were killed or wounded.
The outbreak at Rostov-on-Don, con
tinues the Reuter correspondent, some
what resembled the peasant riots in
the central provinces of Russia in the
early spring.
The leaders of the last riots were
strangers in the district. They were
dressed in fantastic uniforms and
adorned with decorations. They pro
claimed themselves agents of the czar
and preached the destruction of all
machinery which reduced the number
of laborers and brought the masses to
starvation.
A fanatical mob, inflamed with this
Idea, declared war on the factories in
the name of the czar and had already
wrecked many manufacturing estab
lishments by the time the troops were
called out.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Dally Express asserts that in de
fiance of the advice of his ministers
the czar has decided to give private
audiences to over 200 representative
Russians of all ranks. Including uni
versity professors, publicists, editors,
political prisoners and even convicts,
with a view of thoroughly probing so
cial problems and discovering the mo
tives for the assassinations of minis
ters and officials. They will be Invited
to tell the cxar frankly how the threat
ened revolution may be averted and
by what peaceful means the distress
and dissatisfaction of the lower classes
may be met.
SCENES WHEN C0N6RESS ADJOURNED.
Washington, D. C.-(Special.) The
senate has adjourned, after a session
marked by some of the fiercest de
bates ever known In the history of
that body. Even during the last
hours there was a warm exchange of
views concerning matters in the Phil
ippines, In which Senators Carmack,
Culbertson, McCumber and Lodge par
ticipated. Mr. Carmack Insisted upon calling
up his resolution demanding the in
vestigation of Philippine affairs to go
right on during the summer. Hr.
Spooner had a great real to say about
"attacks on the American army,"
which Mr. Carmack denleJ, saying
that any fool could charge such a
calumny and any parrot could be
taught to repeat It. The resolution
was shelved.
Mr. Cockrell of Missouri offered the
usual resolution thanking President
Pro Tern Frye for his services. The
latter made a feeling response.
WILD SCENE IN HOUSE.
Not since the Spanish war have there
been such enthusiastic scenes in the

Speaker Henderson declared the
house adjourned at 5:30, saying that
no house since that which adopted the
constitution has done so much work as

was greeted with great applause.
While the cheering was In progress,
someone started to sing "America."
It was taken up In the press gallery
and by the spectators and the big hall
-ang with the chorus. Other patriotic
ongs followed, "Dixie" being sung
with as much fervor as "The Star

Washington, D. C During the fiscal
year ending June SO, 1902, the bureau
of navigation reports that 1,1(7 vessels
of 473,981 gross tons were built In the
United States and officially numbered,
compared with 1,079 vessels of 489,656
tons for the previous fiscal year. The
decrease, compared with last year. Is
In sail vessels and canal boats, barges,
etc. New steel steamers aggregate
275,479 tons, compared with 263,265 tons
last year. Included in the total new
tonnage are ninety-four vessels, each
over 1.000 tons, aggregating 315.062 tons
or two-thirds of the output. Of this
lagre construction forty-one steel
steamers of 158.631 tons were built on
the great lakes.
The output of completed steel steam
era on the seaboard has been much be
low the indications of last July. The
launching of nearly every large steam
er has been delayed from three to
eight months and some are still on the
ways which by this time were to have
been In operation. The delays have
been partly due to the steel strike last
summer and to the great demand for
structural steel In all directions; to low
ocean freights and the lack of new
shipbuilding orders, which has left
builders and owners without motive
for haste. Last July 250,000 tons of
ocean steel steamers were under con
ttructlon or under contract, while at
present only about 160,000 tons are
under construction and no new large
seaboard contracts are reported.

CHINA ISSUES ULTIMATION TO POWERS.
Pekin. (Special.) The taotai of
Shanghai has notified the Bankers"
commission that China refuses to pay
the July Installment of the Indemnity
except at the rate of exchange pre
vailing April 1, 1901.
The foreign ministers consider that
the taotal's declaration Is the result of
the announcement of the United States
minister, Mr. Conger, to the Chinese
viceroys that the United States sus
taln's China's contention and Is willing
to accept payment on the basis men
tioned. But the ministers are confi
dent that China will accept the decision
of the majority of the ministers when
it is convinced that the United States
is Ha only supporter.

policy of the United States is unrea

were rather a plea for mercy than a

the case that a careful reading of the
progress of the meeting of ministers at
Pekln which led up to the ugreement
taken In connection with the context of
that documecnt has convinced the de
partment that It is the unquestionable
purpose of the ministers, and that

their proceedings, to permit China to
pay the Indemnity at the rate of ex
