NIX for fancy animals.
Not many experters' were reached,
but the *values of those sold did not
show a, marked improvement over
thoso ef last Tuesday, and el lest .

reported Seld.
The heavy overingm of .sheep , had -
the effect of considerably wealietibig
the market for therm .and buyers
were hardly propared to take all on
their hatale that wero on sale. Spring
lambs probably declined in price tho
most.
The receipts of ranch rows were un-
usually heavy, but under the influ-
ence of a fairly brisk don:land for
good ones_ all were bought up by tho
leading buyers..
Tho arrival -amounted to SO ears,
containing 1,120 cattle, 2,182 sheoln
1,900 hogs, and 30 calves+.
The rearicet for exporters' ranged

HOPE TO AROUSE EUROPE.
The Macedonians Resolve To Carry
on Fighting.
A Constantinople despatch says:
"Carry the war to the sea coast!" is
tho latest battle cry of the Mtundon-
itin. insurgents:. Thin plan is design-
ed to bring the conflict more direct-
ly before) the eyes of Europe and
compel the Turkish .0 overnment to
weaken its forces in the interior.
Militar1r critics point out that Sara -
fon, the Ilulgariati leader of the re-
volutionists, hasbeen contriving- to
surprise the shrewdest of the Tur-
kish eannnanders in several parts of
the theatre of operations. They ol-
eo declare that the Macedonians who
are in wens aro rapidly acquiring
military babits in thought, action,
and endurance, the methods; of the
brigaecl haying been put a.side in a
remarkable manner during many of
tne recent operations. This change
shows an increasing ability to cope
'with the Sultan's forcos.
The opinion is widespread that
while the prosent uprising will inain-1
ly subeide at the beginning of Win-
ter, a situation as bad will develop I
again next spring. /knee diploma-
tists continuo to dwell upon hypothe-
tical solutions, which gives the inn
preseion that the crisis may take
an important diplomatic turn any
day.
An immense mass meeting of Mace-
donians took place here Wecluesday
afternoon. They were most enthusi-
astic. It resolved that a memoran-
dum should be presonted to the rep-
resentativea of the great powers at
ofia urging their novernments to
take action. The speakers norms-
sionately appeeded for tho iinmediate
intervention of the powers in Mace-
donia, declaring that if the pouring
out of blood in Macedonia continued
another fortnight, Europe would find
nobody there to save.

O'UR CY:MESE IN BRITAIN.
Uncured Should Not De
Shipped.
Dairy Division, Ottawa, hae
received adricee from Mr. A. W.
Grindley, Agent of the Deparbnent
of Agriculture, in Britain, to the ef-
fect that the reputation of Canadian
cheese has been injured by the large
amount that has been sent from
Canada this year in a "green" or
'uncured condition. Dealers state
that the great bulk of Canadian
cheese ha a been too immature when
snipeed, and Canadians will have
only themselves to blame if the Bri-
tish 'demand falls off front such
causes _as these. It need not be
pointed out that a falling off in de-
mand means a lower price. It is
simply another case of "killing the
goose that lays golden eggs"
When a salesauan notes ttal, 'tho
tendency of the cheese market is
downward, be is 'naturally anxious
to get rid of the stock he bas on
land; ot other times he thinks that
ie n011 save the amount of the shrin-

CONSUL MURDERED.
Representative of U. S. Govern-
ment Assassinated,
A. Washington despatch says t-olize
Staito Department received a cable-
grani ou Thursday from 'United
Sta,tes Minister Lei:Annan at Con-
.stantirlople announcing that ntilliain
O. Magelssen United States Viso -
Consul at Beirut, Syria, was as-
sas,einated while riding in a carriage
on Sunday. The 'American Minister
immediately brought the crime to the
attention of the overnment and do-
mande(' action by Turney. Acting-
nocretary Loomis cabled Minister
Lei:Omen instructing him to 'demand
tne ineraediate arrest and pueneaneut
of the persons guilty of the murder.
No 'demand for money in behalf of
the man's family has yet been made,
but that probably will follow.
Vagelosen, wile was a Scantlina-
eian, was appointed Vice -Consul at
Beirut Septennber 20, 1889, by Coo-
sul Gtabriel Roxentlal, who is of the
sante nationality. At the time of
his appointment as Vice -Consul he
watt a Consular clerk in Turkey. He
wes born at Dratsburg, Filinore
County, Minn.
Tlie announcement of the assassina-
tion, following so soon the an-
nouncement of the assassination of
a Russian Conaul in Turkey, created
strong comment in official eireles.
Minister Leisbanan gave no particu-
lars, and the State Depart:meet nas
no information as to the cause of the
murder,. To American Government
will insist that the local authorities
be punished if 'they wore 'derelict in
their duty, and that full measure of
punishment be given the actual per-
petrators of the outrage.

TO SUPPRESS CRUELTY.
World-wide Plan for Protection of
Birds and Animals.
A Berlin despatch says :-The Ber-
lin Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is taking t/ie in-
itiative in attempting to bring about
an international understanding on
the subject of cruelty to animals and
birds of Italy, with the aim to sup-
port the work of the Italian socie-
ties and with the co-oneration of the
Italian Government. The plan is as
follows :
Coneplcuaus signs will be placed on
the railroad cars, asking tvavelers
to aid in suppressing fearful cruelty
to animals and birds in Italy, by
complaining to the 1(a.yok or other
officials of the place wilere tlie a.cts
of cruelty occur. . An illustrated
eirOular will also be distributed
among the travelers, explaining the
facts as they exist, and travelers
will be requested to aid in the move-
ment by refusing to eat song -birds
at the hotels and boarding-houses,

FEARFUL ATROCITIES.,
Scenes of Horror at Inrushevo in
Macedonia.
A despatch from Monastir says:
Krushevo, a town of 10,000 inhabi-
tants, is in ruins. The women and
children are homeless, and the at-
mosphere is pervaded with the
stench of corpses, which are being
gnawed by dogs and pigs. The
town was first entered by 800 in-
surgents, who raassacred the Turk-
ish garrison and set up a provision-
al government. They also levied a
tax of $10,000 from the notables of
tbe town, and compelled the other
inhabitants to melt down their
spoons to make bullets.
Threa squadrons of Turkish cavalry
6elit to relieve the place were at-
tacked en route and forced to retire,
with the. loss of one hundred killed.
Tho Turks • then concentrated seven
battalions and one battery on the
place. The insurgents fled and the
Turkish soldiers entered, pillaging
tho houses and maltreating the wo-
men. The hand of tho Greek priest's
daughter was lopped off to secure a
bracelet sho wore.

aimed with truly fiendish ingenuity
at the position of ono of the thin:

SALT FROM ENGLAND.
Shipped. Over in Bags and Shipped.
Back in Meat.
One thousand sacks of English salt
passed through the customs office in
Kansas City 'the other morning. rt
is a fine quality used in packlog
meats for export and comes from
Liverpool, says the Kansas City,
Star.
A peculiar thing about this same
salt is that it must travel back to
Liverpool again, though in a differ-
ent form. Here it is used in pack-
ing meat which will ultimately find
its way to John Bull's breakfast
table. John Bull believes in reci-
procity, as proved by the salt re-
ceived. Be uses our meat pnly on
condition that we use Nis salt in
packing it. This arrangement suits
Kansas City packers and causes them
little incon-venience.
When the salt is received tliny pay
nuty of 12 cents per hundreil
pounds. -:Wnen it is returned with
beef and pork an export duty of the
same amount is charged. Uncle Sam
collects 1 per cent for Dandling these
products through the customs oince.
The exporter and consignee get to-
gether and are not, in the end, out
"TrYonnisuocift salt are received in Kan-
sas City for use in the peeking
houses in the west bottoms. It
comes in sacks weighing about 225
pounds each. It is mined in the
south of England, and is of a much
finer quality, say the packers, than
they could possibly secure in this.
country. So the arrangement suits
both parties to the contract and
