It was terrible ) fopg , not the fog Unit you have Hccn In Paris o New York but n black , heavy , smoky fog. "Yes , Just walk In , lum very much plcnsei to sec you , " eamo the reply from Colone' ' P. Cody , otherwise known as "lliiffulo Hill,1 ns ho quickly elosed the door to put out th xincanny fog. The visitor was UHliered iut n comfortable parlor , filled with trophies nm tributes from eminent people of all classes 'There were laurel wreathes , swords of honoi n magnificent rillo dcekcd with flowers and photograph , with autographs ol u host o persons too numerous to mention. "It's terrible weather , " said Colonel Codj "three days of it and just as bad as ever. 1 lias given mo malaria not the genuine ol bhakes which conies from ague but a sort c mean , sickly feeling. " "Colonel , " said the reporter , "I want yo to give me your views on the decline of th American cattle raneli business. " "Well , " ho replied , with clmr.ictcristic d < cision and clearness ; "I think I know ] U' about as much about cattle ranges as anyon on earth. I was the pioneer in the buslncs mid still own n DOOOncro ranch in North Plntti Neb. Cattle ranching has declined ccrtainl ; The decline dates from two years ago tin is to say , from the tmio when the preside ! ordered all the men on the Indian tcrritor to move their cattle outside the limits of tli reservation. The order was that all cattl were to bo removed within sixty days. Thci wore hundred of thousands of beasts on tin territory and the owners could not find an grazing land at luind available. The rcsu was that there was nothing left to do bi sell their cattle. The market became gluttt mid producers wcro compelled to sell fe what the middle man chose to give. Yc may be right sure they gave little cnougl That is ono and u strong reason. Thosccoi : reason for the decline in profits is this : Tl railroads , which have boon gradual penetrating further and furthe have at last got into Texas , m the Tcsui.o , instead of driving the hen hundreds of miles , fouiu1. P. market at horn Instead of the northern producer alone shi ping cattle to Chicago , the Texas man dl covered that ho could compote equally. Th has materially interfered with the northci trade , as Texas cattle arc cheaper. A thil reason is that when , llvo or six years ag the cattle business was booming in the noit cm .states , when the ranches in Nebrask Wyoming , Montana , Dakota and Colorai wcro paying as much as 30 to 40 per cent , ai when everything looked well and prosperou the ranch holders wcro so elated that tin thought the business would continue perm ncnt. As it was they overloaded thei selves with cattle bought at high prices , m mortgaged their original herds to buy mo beasts , so that when prices \ycnt down tin had their obligations to meet. They we then forced to sell for what they could ge nnd that was another causu of the decline beef. " "Is this another cause of that curse America the monopolists ! " asked the i porter. "U is , " replied the Colonel. "In Chlca , there exists a powerful ring of cattle trail monopolists such as the syndicate of catt commissioners. They keep themselves wi pobtcd as to the movements of the produce ) They know exactly how and when ccrtn lots of cattle must bo disposed of. Tin then proceed to "rig" the market : \nd t ! ranchmen Ilnd themselves at the mercy these men. The producer cannot afford hold his stock , and , moreover , has no mcui of doing to. His c.itllo are. grass-fed n cannot be corn-fed , therefore the proituc must sell in a very few days or lose weight. " "Cannot this ring bo biokcnl" "Yes , and it certainly ought to bo. Tl producers are strong and powerful cnoui to assert themselves , and they will undonl rdly do so by combining and by killing the beasts at home. "What reason is there why Chicago shoi bo the monopolistic Daughter house ! " "There Is ono very strong point I wov llko to make in reference to this. Look it from a sanitary point of view. Tnk < Btccr or. his native heath , full of life u health , la good condition and pure in blo < Again , take u steer which 1ms made u lo Journey , cither on the road or by rail. S the weary , worn look , the feverish eye a tcngue , the blood heated and the beast h maddened by excitement. Your comni sense will toll you that the nnltiml , killed Mho healthy state , will make bolter nnd mi healthy meat than tUo feverish hunted st < ns hu roaches the slaughterhouse in Chiea A'es , I roiiout , the animals should be sinus creel en the ranches , packed cleanly up refrigerator cars nnd ( .hipped right oil 'their ' destinations' without being nmu About by the Chicago common handler. " Weuow adjourned to luucUcoa with M Cody , and father nnd daughter who chatted merrily of their social triumphs In London and how Manchester had followed suit nnd showered them with social invitations. Huf- falo Hill told of how , while ho was enter- talnlnlng the four kings , the Prince of Wales had remarked ! "Well , Mr. Cody , I don't suppose you ever had four kings together before , " to which Cody replied : "Your royal highness , I have held four kings before , but never the royal joker be sides.1' Huffulo 11111 considers his royal highness the tlncst gentleman on em th , with plenty of grit in htm. After lunch the conversation was resumed. "Now. colonel , what is your advice to that largo body of men who are interested in rnncTics. They are pretty anxious regarding the outcome of their speculation. " I would say to them , " ho replied , "hold on and within three years It might bring you out. Although beef will not bo at the same prices It has been , you will have the finest business In the world. I would say so be cause they are going to have a market right at home. The cattle in the Indian territory have been disposed of or located in Texas. In the face of the superior beef production northern ranches have depreciated in value. The northerner is going \o \ be looked to for beef hereafter. The man who owns a north ern ranch is a producer , and I see a prospect of the producer controlling the market In stead of the1 middleman. Ho soon will bo un willing to take any price offered him by the ring. I would say to the cattlemen that they are the proper persons to control the market and not the middlemen , who only sell on com mission , I repeat , the producers are strong enough to break that ring and they will dc "Do you recommend any particular line ol stock as likely to bo most remunerative 1" "What I say is , grade up , but deut grade up too Hue. Hlood too pure cannot stand the hardship so well as u more mixed one. The Herefords are irooel. The Short Horns ane Polled Angus are likewise. The latter Is r tiptop rustler. Some of the Englishmcr won't understand that , but I mean ho is i splendid beast to look after himself , but the Hereford is the ono I like. Ho is beef dowi to the heels. Few people in this country realise what the American cattle trade is Twelve years ago there were no cattle ranches in Montana , Dakota , Wyoming 01 Nebraska. Huffalo grazed over the land Texas was then the homo o the steers. It took an army o 4,000 men to cross the countr ; in the great Sitting Hull war. Now where the Indian nnel buffalo roamed have risen uj cities and ranches and thousands of clvilUcc homesteads. Nowadays men coino to m ; show and look at my buffaloes and say 'What u pity it is that such noble-lookini beasts should have been exterminated , ' nnd say the buffalo has gis-cn way to the bcttoi animal , which all can herd , and tlio extlnc tion of the buffalo put an end to the Indiai war. The cattle trade has brought up hund reds of thousands of cowboys , the best Ugh infantry in the world , a race of hardy mci who will form warriors of indomitable coinage ago and strength to America should she eve need their services. " Thus concluding he led the way to the vaa mil adiomiu-j the race course , which ha been erected especially for the Wild Wes show. Soon ho reappeared In the arena ii full western costume to receive the enthusl astio applause of u large audience who hai braved the blinding fog to sco American fa west life realistically portrayed. As John M. Burke remarked : "Our objcc is to place a series of pictures of America life before our audiences in sueh a form tha they will retain the impression for life. " One thing is sure , wherever Huffalo Hil and his truly American troupe locate , in thu district do all kinds of American Industrie rise up and llourish ami prosper. It was s in London and is so in Manchester , mid hui drcdb of American Stars and Stripes wav over dingy fog bound Cottonopolis. FUK.YKS OF THK FOG.

Many people will not like what they see as the pros pect opens. Hero is a point for the llrst time now made very clear. Lord Salisbury does not intend to resign on any issue but that ol Ireland , That seems to bo plain enough from the last of the Liverpool borlcs ol speeches. Ordinarily a government may be defeated on some outside question , as Glad stone was in 1SS3 on the budget. He re signed , but the country must not understand that and side blow will upset the present government , That is a pretty bad lookout for the people who are laying wires to trip uj over for instance , the Crofters thcD Welsh church , local government and n dozen others dangerous subjects. The government may bo dofeatee ! in any of these and yet it will stick fast What will Mr. Glaelstono say to that } He may make the country ring with denunciations tions of what ho can describe as Lorel Sails bury's arbitrary and unconstitutional course , There may bo a tremendous hubbubauel | , it ii quite clear that Salisbury would not have taken a resolution llko this without consult ing with Hartington , and thus the whole unionist party must bo agreed to accept n < defeat ns involving the fate of the ministry unless It arrives on the Irish question. Hov it can arrive on that with a majority of oven hundred to support the main lines of the ministerial Irish policy it is very hard to sec The startling ultimatum must affect the whole course of the session from beginning to end. What will be the use of planning intricate tricato schemes for catching the governmcn unawares if it will not go when it is beaten Of course no ministry could stand loiif against u succession of defeats , but fron what quarter is blow after blow to fall I 1 is not visible to the men who study minutel ; every inch of ground. The second point brought into light I : equally important , only it concerns tlio con scrvativo party exclusively. They are tole that they must make up their minds to swal low more than is agreeable. Yoi cannot say to Lord Salisbury : "Have your cake and cat : t : You hoi power by liberal votes ; you must passlibem measures. " Many conservatives will nat urallysay : "What is the good of having conservative government in oftlco if wo mus take any dose our opponents may chose t mix for us. " So that the premier has notli to say. The conservative party has a mastc and must obey him. The master is a libcrti unionist , so hero wo have ono of the grea parties split into fragments and the other lei by ono of these fragments. Th Irish question dissolves everything lik a powerful acid. I very muc doubt whether anyboely really admires th present position of affairs , but nobody ha the power to alter it. Ireland may not go\ crn itbelf , but is she not governing Englis parties ami practically dictating the cours of all Hritish legislation. It looks very mucl like It. Wait till the radical blue pill i stuffed into the mouth of your good old-fash ioncd tory. There will bo wry faces see anef stormy language heard in spite of th soothing syrup which Salisbury has so coi siderately adminlstcrcel beforehand. DICKKNS' SKCONI ) SOX.

[ New York Herald Cabl Special to the Hen. ] While Charles Die ! ens ib keeping the memory of his fathc green to borrow a figure from the "Hauntc Man" the second son of the novelist , Hcnr Fielding Dickens , recorder of deeds , is doin the same filial thing in tlio courts of Londo and Kent. Ho much resembles his fathe : whoso cleverness of oratory ho has decidcdl inherited. Within the past week ho has thrc times made hits in sharply criticizing a wi ness who was seventy-seven years old. His opponent retorted ; "What about Lor John Hussell , Lord Palmerston , Mr. Glae stone and the Emperor William , who ai aged men with grand memones } " Mr. Dickens answered ; "Thero are u fe' constellations as well as a myriad of mer twlnklers in the aged firmament of intollce as In the tellar firmament. " Yesterday ho represented a sucecssfi plaintiff who sued In the queen's bench fc the return of some stock fraudulently cxacte from him In the Charles Dickens silver mini "I am bound to say , " ho observed In openln his address , "that the family have no Intcrci in the mine , but have every reason to sco tin the name is not misused. " To-day Mr. Dickens was in thoccntri crimhiM court defending Harry Thomas , a heir , a gentlemanly looking young man , a artist , who was charged upon several ii dlctmentb with endeavoring to extort mono from Mary Elizabeth Turner by menace an also with threatening to publish a libel upo the same laely with a similar object. Tl story which Mr , Dlckcus had tj meet c cross-examination makes a cause cclebro In the dark pages of criminal blackmail records , The prosocutrlx deposed that she had been married seven years. They resided In llalelgh cottage , Hogents Park. She was in the habit of at tending All Saints chitrch , Cavendish square. The prisoner was In the ) choir and his voice attracted her attention three years ago. Ono day us she was leaving the church the pris oner spoke to her and told her that his imtno was Henry Graham nnd ho was aware that she admired his voice. Ho made the sug gestion that she should meet him In private and hear him sing at his rooms in Oxford street , uscel for singing purposes. She wa curiously fascinated by him mid she met the prisoner at these rooms once a week for ono year ami the prisoner used to sing both secular and sacred muslo to her. In consequence ol something the prisoner said as to the expense of a music room she sent AT > . Upon another occasion she gave the prisoner JU5 , This took phico after they had been acquainted for twelve months. Onetime the prisoner told her he had found out that some ono hud been following them. She asked whether lie had given this man any money nnd ho told her ho wanted 1)0 ) within a week and that it was to her advantage to let him have it. She told him she would sco what she could do. Immediately after this bhe communicated all that had taker place between her and the pris oner to her husband. At the dictation o her husbanel she wrote a letter to the pris oner , addressed him as "Dear Harry , " aue promising to let him have what money hi required as soon as she could. The prisonei wrote , pressing her to let him have tin money for the man referred to and she gave this letter to her husbanel. On the 14th ol September the prisoner called upon her a horresidence in St. Johnwood. Her husbane was absent at this time. She asked him wh * ho had come and she then tolel him that shi informed her husband of everything. Mr. Dickens' cross examination was adroit Ho did not iniutimato any impropriety , bu directed his inquiries toward the implicatioi that the lady was fascinated by and in levi with the prisoner and her giving of the mono ; was the result of tcnelcrness and not menace Hut ho could not shako off the facts of hi client giving a false mime or of an anonymou letter being in the prisoner's writing. Mi Dickens had that insinuating manner which in the eyes of his father's novel , "Our Mutua Friend , " is so well described by tlio phrase "Hear with his Jury stoop and eyeglass. " The the accused was found guilty and sentence to twelve months' imprisonment. SKXTOX'S ILLNESS SKHIOUS. Symptoms Invcle > iilng Which Ilcndei _ ; Hli Itcciivcry Douhtfill.

[ New i'ork Herald Cable-Special lo the Br.n. ] It is difficult perhaps , for English residents of New York who have been theic many years to reali/o the great strietes radicalism and democrae-y have made here since they emitted this .side of the Atlantic. It is difficult indeed for even some Londoners to comprehend thih. Not only dc the rndie-als wonderfully increase in numbers , but their land and labor reform doctrines increase - crease in boldness , nnd the increase is en tirely disconnected with the Irish question , Last night two radical meetings , which might bo called democratic assemblages , wcro held at Ucptford on the Thames , at which was Wilfred Blunt , candidate -for the vacancy and at West New In gloan. In these places the mosl progressive doctrines were promulgated to immense crowds , who cheered the enuncia tions. At the latter meeting was Lord Hob' house , ono of Gladstone's now peers of 1SS5 , This meeting was more especially regarding municipal reform and n new constitution The largo gathering voted that no loe'al gov eminent could bo satisfactory unless ii elected by universal suffrage adults of both sexes. The Deptfordcrs adopted a plat form after the American fashion , ii : which "Protect and advance the inter csts of labor" were planks ; manhooe suffrage ; payment of members of parlia ment , a'triennial parliament ; local self-gov eminent ; poor law reform ; free secular edu cation ; complete religious equality ; ccbsa tion of royal grants except to sovereigns ; nb olition of hereditary legislation ; power of do Glaring war to bo vested in the house o commons only ; abolition of property quail llcation in local government ; cumulativi income tax ; nationalization of laud ; compul sory limit to labor of eight hours. In tin face of these fourteen democratic progrcs sions , ami Ih'o.y spread'"also"over the king dom , especially where miners , mechanics am navvies congregate the tory Journal : whistle to keep conservative courage up Thus , for instance , the St. James Gazette which had previously gis'cn attention ti Mayor Hewitt's after dinner speech nnd tin Knights of Labor allegeel disagreements says : "Tho beneficial effects of a very littl firmness in dealing with disorder has beei recently exemplified in a marked degree ii the United States.

[ New York Herald Cable ) Special to the Hii : : . ] A crowded nudtcnca gathered at the church St. Andrea del In Jj Vllle to-day to hear the promised sermon ot j' the archbishop of Philadelphia. Among jj those present were several Amcrloau and Kngllsh speaking bishop representatives ot various colleger , and many distinguished personages of American and English society in Home. The subject was ' -The Mission ot Christianity. " Taking feu- his text. "A child is born to us , a con is given to us , and tha government shall bo upon his shoulders , " the preacher appealed to the luoifc' haustlhlej treasures of God's ' material creation as witnessed by the new discoveries daily made in the scientific world. "As an , illustration of the richness ami fecundity oQ Goel's works in supernatural order , " said Dr. Kyan , "particularly in that most transcend * cut of all his wonders , tlio incarnation of hia divine Son , all are staggered at thq marvels of the earth below and the hoavous above. If mystery is over us and under 119 and on every side , wliat may wo not bellcYO of the depth of mystery and Inllnito possi bilities which lie within the sphere ! of that most awful truth which makes God man and man Godl What wonder that Christ's mission is uni vcrsal , a world-wide dominion over all HIM lions , a universal sway over men's 1111011001 * ! and hearts. The magi are a poof of it. Their first gift was their greatest precious beyond the gold , fragrant beyond the franle incense and myrrh the reverend homage ofi their intellects nnd adoring love of theiu hearts. The universal mission of the Ho * dccmcr is not. finished , " continued the } preacher. "It is now committed to hia church , 'All power is given to mo ; go ye , there * fore , mid teach all nations , and lo ) I am always with you , always even to the consummation of the world.1 Tha church has of right divine a message to tha intellect of man , for that which Christ taught and divinely commanded she continues to teach to-day. " Next the preacher dwelt on the church's mission to tlio human heart , nnd showed that the foundation of all morality is found in hoc doctrinal teachings. "For why elo wo obey God's law , or revere the sermon on the ) mount , or yearn after the beatitude , except because wo believe God to bo and Jesus Christ to bo his own Son , and- a divinity sent message. Make ) Christ a mere man , and his resurrection is a myth. Let him sleep in some eastern grave , and Christian morality falls with a crash. It Christ be not living at the right hand of the Father , then vain are our hopes hero and hereafter , our faith is a snare , Christianity a "iiision. Hut Christ lived and His church continues Ills mission. While His voice la heard shall society htan'Jf family ties bo re > spcctcd and individuals sunctilieu. " jj | Filially the archbishop alluefeeT' jfi to the universal manifestation of homage to * Pope Leo as the hero of that world which * , recognl/.cs still that the only true , certain and solid foundation of modern civili/ation late to be found in that which ho represents ou earth , the revelation of gooel which ho has been pleased to show unto mi'n in the face of his divine Son , The sermon lasted an hour. The large assembly was deeply Impressed by the state'ly eloquence of the Houssuet of America. _ Munificent ClinrlticH. [ Cuwlulit ISkS lilJilinrn ] niinlun llmnrtt.
