Stockman's View ef
the Proposition.
CHICAGO, May 81.-The executive com
mltiee of the American Meat Peckers' as
aociatlon, whoae membera embrace 275
large and email packera la twenty-nine
etates, met here today and unanimously
adopted a reaolutlon asking all inspected
alaughtertng establishment to buy cow
and other "she" cattle aubject to post
mortem inspection by the United BlaUe
government. 'X"lie request waa made that
Immediate effect be given the reaolutlon.
Becretary George L. McCarthy of the
association aald: "The dlseaaed cowi to
which we object come from dirty, filthy
farme and it naturally follows that the
dairy herds from which moat of them
come are diseased. The dancer to the
public by conaumlng milk and other dairy
products from the tubercular cowa and
cowa Buffering from other dlaeaaea would
be appalling If It were generally known.
The farmers who are responsible for thla
condition of affaire have no Incentive to
keep their farme clean and their herds
free from dleeaae so long aa they are
paid full value for diseased animals sent
to the market for slaughter, but when
eat tie are bought subject to inspection
after death every farmer who has been
criminally negligent will Immediately clean
up his place and take measures to keep
disease out of hie herd."
MORE STKEJtS AT HIGHER PRICES
Effect of Movement, Bays E. A. Cndahy
Cattle Man State Views.
When asked -what effect the new policy
adopted by the packera In refusing to buy
cowa only when aubject to post mortem ex
cmtnallon had had on the trade at South
Omaha, E. A. Cudahy of the Cudahy Packe"
Ing company said:
"The result has been to Increase the sales
of steers about 10 per cent and the, prices
for steers from 40 to 60 cent per hundred
pounds. The packer at South Omaha be
gan last Monday in refusing to buy cow
unless subject to the pot mortem examina
tion, and as- a result the commission men
lvo refused to sell cow under such an
4.rangrment. and we have not, therefore,
oouglit any cow since that time. The com-
1 a iniHKinn in.n iiaivn iMfn nvmni i iii.it- i i i -
ftomere rot to send cowa Into the market
at the present time and the price of steera
lius advanced proportionately with the de
li' crease In the supply of rattle.
John Keith of Sutherland, one-of the big
" Nebraska stockmen, at the Merchanta ho-
tel on his return from a' visit of several
week In the enst, during which he visited
tlNj Jamestown exposition. Mr. Keith was
ssifed In reference to the new Inspection
planaa proposed by the porkers relative to
the ante and post mortem examination of
cattle.
"J am a little averse to being quoted In
thla matter, but Mr. Perry' letter In The
Bee put1 the situation pretty fairly. The
cattlemen recognise the relations that exist
between tiiem and the packera and we are
hardly din posed to criticise their methods
too severely for obvious reasons. The ship
per realise that without the packer t lie re
would be no market for their cattle. A a
rule when the cattle, be they steers, cow,
heifer or calve, our Interest In them
ceases after they have paased the packing
house ; scales. W have no other recourse
but to accept their Judgment. Aa a rule I
, am satisfied that the shipper will oppose
' the poet mortem inspection of live- etock and
t do not think it will ever be enacted Into
law. If It should It mean a serious thing
for the shipper. He ha no knowledge after
the eteer or cow has been killed and dressed
, that the condemned animal le the one he
sold. It place too much discretionary
power In the hand of the packer and in-
' spector. We aim to Bend healthy cattle to
the markets and build up our reputation aa
cattlemen by bo doing and I hardly think
the ehlppera will want to aubmlt to any
such rule as la embodied in the post mor
tem inspection before a settlement for the
cattle le made. We cannot punch our cattle
full of holes to find out whst alia them
when they are apparently healthy."

LIGHT ON RUSSIAN HISTORY
Assassination of Alexander II Pre
vented Promnlsrntlon of Const I
tntlon Many Years Ago.
BT. PETERSBURG, May 31.-A number
of Important letters written by the late
Constantlne Pobetdonostaeff, while preu.'
curator of the Holy Synod, are now ap
pearing In the Archive,.' the leading his
torical Journal of Russia. These particular
letters deal with momentous event Imme
diately following the ass. sftlrtatton of Alex
ander II. and ahed new light on the fate
Of the constitution that had been drafted
by Lorls Mellkoff.y
The great mass of Pobeidonostseff's cor
respondence Is deposited under seal In the
Rumalntseff Historical museum of Mos
cow, and according to the will of the
former procurator general these document
may not be published for ten years, but
copies of the present letters, which are ad
dressed to Motutchteff, were given by
Pobetdonostaeff In 183 to the editor of the
Archive, with the understanding that they
be published posthumously.
It has been fairly well established that
Alexander II. at the time of his assassina
tion was about to proclaim the constitu
tion drafted by Mellkoff, who was then
virtual dictator of Russia, establishing
parliamentary Institutions in the empire.
The death of the emperor was even as
cribed to a reactionary plot that hod for
Its ultimate object the prevention of tho
promulgation of a constitution. Pobeido
nostseff's letters fully confirmed the ex
istence of this constitution end gave com

following the accession to the throne of the

EXPORT FINISHED PRODUCTS

WASHINGTON. May 11. Great as has
been the growth ln the volume of the man
ufacturing producta of the United States
since 1(st0, the bureau of statistics today
Issued a statement showing that the pro
portion of those products which has been j Tourtellotte, who opposed capital punlsh
exported has steadily grown, so that while ; ment and whose manifest disqualification
In 1839 the exports were 64 per cent of the has been running through the trial for
entire product, they had Increased ln 1105 j several days. Judgs Wood called the
to 1.1 per cent. ' question up, ' and first both eldee fenced
Taking the article which has under- j on it. Finally the state challenged Tour
gone a process of manufacture, and com-'! tellotte and the court excused him. The
paring its exportatlnns with those of all defense reserved a point on the matter
articles, the bureau of statistics finds that j because It may prove valuable fighting-
It formed 32 per cent of the total exports
tn 1860 and 60 per cent In 1906, while articles
In a crude condition formed 68 per cent of
the exports In I860 and but 40 per cent ln
1906. Articles which hsve undertone a pro
cess of manufacture Increased twenty-three
fold during the period, while that exported
In a crude state Increased less than seven
fold, Indicating e growing tendency to turn
thle product into a finished state by Ameri
can labor before offering it for sale abroad.
On ..the ether hand articles which have
undergone a process of manufacture formed
In 1860 82H Per cent of the Imports and In
1901 but 64H per cent, while those In a
crude stste. chiefly used In manufacturing,
formed but 1"H per cent of the Imports In
1SS0 and 45H per cent In 1906, showing a
tendency to bring the foreign article Into

The state lias exhausted Its arbitrary

It used Its tenth peremptory challenge to

I The new special venire of sixty-one talee-
. . . t,. .,ii
men that presented Itself when the trial
, ... ' , ,, .rl,
' was resumed this morning, proved very
fruitful In men qualified to act as Jurors.
There were the usual offering of assorted
excuses, but only five of them moved the
heart of the now etern court. Talesman
J. A. Robertson, the very first man called
qualified In a canter for the vacancy cre
ated by the seventeenth peremptory chal
lenge, and the defense at once challenged
Juror Hermon Cox, the veteran whom It
tried eo hard to disqualify on Monday last.
This made the ninth challenge used by
the defense. After three failures. H. F.
Messacar successfully withstood the fire of
questions from both sides and was ac
cepted for the place.
Then the court finally dealt with Juror
ground on appesl. Talesman Nelson Free
land quollfled for Tourtellotte'e old place,
but the state did not care to have him on
the Jury and fired ita last challenge on
him. Senator Borah wanted to pasa the
state'a lent challenge temporarily In order
to get other vantage ground before using
It, but Judge Wood ruled that' If psssed
It would be waived end lost.
.Here the pay streak of qualification
pinched out and the vacancy was unfilled
when the hour of adjournment . waa
reached. Alfred E. Off. a capitalist, Who
Is suspected of disqualification, was caught
In the chair at the last moment before a
single question had been asked, and to the
amusement of the crowd was cent to the
Jury housi to be carefully locked up for
the night.
Aa the court rose Judge Wood signifi
cantly remarked to counsel that the length
of tomorrow's session would depend upon
the celerity with which the Jury ia com
pleted. Mrs. Haywood's wheel chair was today
moved alongside that of the prisoner and
they remained together through both morn

sists of ecclesiaatlclsm and not service.
"There were forty-eight religious con
ventione In the city during the lost session

was attempted or done was to perpetuate
the life of themselves. Ecclesiaatlclsm
stops progress all the world over; the
thing they ought to seek Is progressive
religion.
"Washington Is a city of four corners.
The southeast la occupied by negroes,
whose death rate le twenty-one ln 1,000,
while the northwest la for gentlemen, the
! death rate being fourteen. I know but one
church ln America which addresses Itself
to the business of caring for the southeast,
a that it shall have an equal chance with
the northwest.
"My dream is that la every large city
there could be opened ln Ite center a build
ing with the sign 'Kingdom of Heaven.' I
would have the pulpit supplied with strong
j men of various creeds the Roman Catholic
; beside the Salvation Army captain and
have the various churches responsible for
filling the pulpit with their best men."

Before walking out to the platform to

Address of tho President.
President Roosevelt, In beginning his ad
dress, paid a high compliment to agricul
tural achools and mentioned Minnesota's
agricultural high school In particular. He
spoke of the lack of Industrial training
hitherto existing and commended the edu
cation that fits a man for the farm.
Speaking of Industrial schools, he said:
We hear a great deal of the need of
protecting our worklngmen from competi
tion with pauper labor. I have very little
fear of the competition of pauper labor.
The nations with pauper labor are not the
formidable industrial competitors of this
country. What the American workingman
has to tear is the competition of the highly
skilled worklngmsn of the countrlee of
greatest Industrial efficiency. By the
tariff and by our immigration lawa we
can always protect ourselves sgalnat the
competition of pauper labor here at home:
hut when we contend for the markets of
the world we ran get no protection, and we
shall then find that our most formidable
competitors are the nations In which there
I is the moat highly developed business ahll
j Ity, the most highly developed Industrial
1 skill; and these are the qualities which we
I must ourselves develop.
Salary and Wages.
After discussing the dignity of labor, the
president continued:
, i ne calling or tne skilled tuier or the
i soil, the calling of the skilled mechanic,
j should alike be recognised as profemins,
; Just aa emphatically as the callings of
I lawyer, of doctor, of banker, merensut, or
; clerk. The printer, the electrical worker.
' the house painter, the foundry man, should
' be trained Just as carefully aa the atenog
i rapher or the drug clerk. They should be
' trained alike In head and in hand. The
. should get over the Idea that to earn 1U
, a week and call it "salary" is better than
I to earn J6 a week and call It ' wages."
j The young man who has the courage and
the ability to refuse to enter the crowded
i field of so-called professions and to take
to constructive Industry la almost sure of
an ample reward ln earnings, ln health,
ln owoit unity to marry early, end to
' establish a home with reasonable freodom
from worry. We need the training, the
I manual dexterity, and the Industrial lnlelll
! gence which can be hest given In a good
: agricultural, or building, or textile, or
1 watchmaking, or engraving, or mechanical
school.
it should be one of our prime objocta to
put the mechanic, the wageworkrr who
works wltii his hands, and who ounht tit
work In a constantly larger d.gie.. wltii
his head, on a liixiu-r phmc of ertlclrney
