complications may am at Buena Yen
tura, where the Colombian authorities ^
have been endeavoring to compel thi :
agents of the Biltish steamer Ecuador,
owned 3iy the Pacific sAi? am Navig.v i tlon
company of Liverpool, to transport
troops to the isthmus. It wai 'v
at the request of the Pacific Naviga- t!
tlon company that the Phaeton left *
Panama for Bucna Ventura. ^
The agents of the line refused to i;
embark the troops and appealed to u
the company's representatives here, ^
who in turn placed the matter before h
the British consul, with the result J>
that the Phaeton was sent to Buena ,lj
Ventura to protect British Interests, ti
Tho action of the Pacific Steam Navi- B
gatlon company in refusing to trans- ^
port the troops has caused indignation
in Colombian government circles. A n
high official who was interviewed on J'
the subject said that arrangements
were made by the government in 1879 ? ;
with the Pacific Navigation company
by which the government granted u
many liberal conoescions to the company.
;;
The Colombian* government, It waa ,|
added, has, since the contract was <'
signed, paid the Pacific Navigation ^
company over $20,000 in suhBldies in <;
'r consideration of which the company h
was to transport Colombian civil and 11
military employes, prisoners, mails
and soldiers at special rates. There
la no clause in the contract^ it was j
further asserte'd, providing that dur< ^
Ing an outbreak the obligation of tha
company to transport the troops ceas- <
ed to be effective.
In conclusion, the high official ol .
j the Colombian government referred to, ^
said that the present refusal of tha (
raclflc Steam Navigation company to
transport Colombian troops here may
be sustained l>y the presence of a Brit* >
ls.h warship at Buena Ventura, but
nevertheless it Is a clear violation of
the contract between the Colombian
government and the steamship company
made in good faith by the government
which has faithfully adhered
its agreements,
ki government eUoles ft is claimed
f>*at the nOn-afrlval fit tho rehtfOEce*
ments of troops from Buena Ventura
will prolong the revolution on tho itshmus
and cause unnecessary bloodshed,
and that, consequently, tho govern- /
rnent officials of Colombia have groimd I
4o claim damages from the Pacific

no doubt that the government will

low High Priced Beef and Cotton iced
Are Related.
The Texas Cotton Seed f'nishers'
association at u late meeting hold in
'exas, passed a resolution containing
mt the high price of beef was due to
shortage in seed products. The foiwing
taken from the Cotton a nil
' irin Journal, throws some light upon
ds subject:
"The i^ilcs adopted by the Texas
otton Seed Crushers' Association puts
in line with the other associations of
sjmilar kind In 4he South. It is probble
that there will be no more invasn
of Mississippi and Alabama by
exas mills in search of seed.
"The cattlemen who were expected
ere to expostulate over their alleged
ad treatment during the past year
ave not put in appearance as yet, and

A resolution was adopted depreeat- j
.c any act of congress that may tend

ml* alleging that the present high
rice of meat is due "to a shortage in '
' si products." " |
This would scorn to show there were
\o sides to this question of high beef (
nd that in so far as Texas is concerned
to price of beef is bound to vary with
to price of cotton seed hulls and cot- c
>n seed meal. In proportion as the
rass area of Texas has diminished, ^
10 cattle-raisers have been compelled
i buy feed stuffs, and the only availble
feed-stuffs in quantity is cotton

ave been selling within the last year

his means that the meat supply in

ill probably go much more extensively

urposes and in handling cattle for
