Quinlan of the third precinct were com- plaining witnesses in the Police Court this morning in the case of a colored quartet, composed of Laura Saunders, Virginia Jackson, George Lewis and Robert Moul- ton. The charge against them was dis- orderly conduct. Officer Hanley appeared an the stand and made his complaint. Ac- cording to his story, one of the women asked him to arrest one of the men, which he could not do without a warrant, and she said: “Then I'll go up and raise —, and you'll have to arrest the whole crowd.”” Judging from what the officer said, she raised all that she had promised as well as she could, and the officer told of the volieys of profanity he heard. Policeman Quinlan was then called in, and he told his version of the affair, which was entirely different from that of his brother officer. Judge Kimball said he could not hold any one on such conflicting testimony, and dis- missed the case. While the hearing was in progress Laura probably realized that she was going td be released, and she put her hand in her pocket to make certain that she had ear fare, but much to her surprise she made the discovery that right there in the presence of Judge Kimball and a score of policemen her pocket had been picked, and she had been relieved of 45 cents. This discovery caused a sud- den flow of tears, and resulted in the searching of a number of prisoners. The bailiff found 55 cents on two of the pris- oners who were searched, but in the ab- sence of proof as to where they got the money there could be no prosecution for theft, and Laura had to walk home. oe x The American Railway Association Is in session in St. Louis. PLOT TO KILL FAURE French Police Watching the Move- ments of Anarchists. “PETIT BORDEAUX” ONDER ESPIONAGE important Discoveries Made in Egypt. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS HAVRE, April 18.—President Faure ar- rived here today from Rouen, and was enthusiastically cheered. At the prefecture the president cordially received the officers of the Eritish warship Australia, specially sent to represent Great Britain in recog- nition of the French courtesies extended to Queen Victoria during her stay in the south of France. The Petit Journal of Paris announces that it has good authority for stating that. the prefecture’ of ‘police has detailed a number of detectives to investigate an anarchist plot, the object of which was to assassinate M. Faure, the president of the republic, during the fetes at Havre in honor of his visit to this city. President Faure represented one of the districts of Harve in the chamber of depu- tles prior to his election to the chief mag- istracy of the. republic. The president is also a ship owner of Havre and a member of its chamber of commerce, of which body he was formerly president. During the Franco-Prussian war he commanded a battalion of volunteers from Havre and led them to Paris, where he took part in the suppression of the commune. Natural- ly, the inhabitants of Havre have been looking forward to the president's visit to their city with considerable pleasure, and a number of elaborate fetes have been or- genized in order to show the esteem in which he is held in his electorate. According to the Petit Journal an an- archist known as “Petit Bordeaux,” a man of a type similar to Caserio, the murderer of President Carrot, and Ravachol, the an- archist who was executed after having been convicted of being’ concerned in dyna- mite outrages, left London recently on his way to Havre in order to assassinate Pres- ident Faure. Petit Bordeaux, who is a de- serter from the French army, was watched by the London police and by the French detectives detailed to keep an eye on an- archists in London. Consequently his de- parture from London was promptly sig- naled to the potice office in Paris and in Havre. The authorities of these two cities and elsewhere are taking the most active precautions in order to protect the presi- dent from injury. Whether this story is true or not, it would seem certain at least that the an- archists have recommenced operations, for two infernai machines were found in Paris yesterday. ‘The first was found in the Rue St. Simone, and contained a number of loaded cartridges; the seccnd was found on the Esplanade des Invalides, and consisted of a cylinder charged with dynamite. : Remains of a Race That Lived 3,000 Years Before Christ. LONDON, April 18.—The Edinburgh cor- respondent of the Times says that in a le>- ture delivered before the Edinburgh Royal Society, Prof. W. M. Flinders Petrie, the distinguished Egyptologist, declared that recent excavations made in the district thirty miles north of Thebes pointed to the existence three thousand years before Christ of a race quite distinct from the Egyptians. This race were probably the people who overihrew Egyptian civilization at the close of the old kingdom. Who they were and whence they came were uncer- tain, but the indications suggested that they were a branch of the same eastward migration of Libyans which founded the Amorite race in Syria. The Times comments editorially on the importance of Prof. Petrie’s discovery in transforming Egyptian history and in en- couraging the excavations in Greece and elsewhere. STONELL WAS BEATEN. Mr. Dwyer’s Entry in the Flying Handicap Plate Didn’t Get a Place. NEWMARKET, England, April 18.—The Ashley plate of 200 sovereigns, five fur- lorgs, for tw9-yeur clds, was won today by Mr. Lecpold De Rothschilds’ Gulistan. There were fiftecn starters.

Mr. Dwyer’s Banquet and Mr. Croker’s Eau De Gallie have been scratched for the second welter and handicap which is to be run here today. : The flying handicap plate of 103 sover- eigns for three-year-olds and upward, five furlongs, for which Mr. Michael F. Dwy- er’s Stonell was entered and competed, with Sims up, was won by Mr. Jewitt’s bay filly Isagon, with T. Loates up. Isagon is four years old, and by Isonomy, out of Es- capade.

Howgate in Court. Capt. Henry W. Howgate was this morn- ing arraigned before Judge McComas in Criminal Court No. 1 on the three indict- ments returned against him on the Ist of this month. These indictments charge, re- spectively, embezzlement, forgery and falsi- fication of accounts. To them Capt. How- gate today pleaded not guilty, and, at the request of his counsel, Mr. A. S. Worth- ington, leave was given him by Judge McComas to withdraw such plea and de- mur cr file other motions attacking the validity of the indictments within two weeks’ time. The government was represented by Mr. W. M. Lewin, who stated that although a speedy trial was desired by the prose- cution, he would not object to the granting of Mr. Worthington’s request.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Metropolitan M. E. Church is hold- ing an Easter convocation today in the Sunday school room of thé church, Mrs. S. D, La Fetra presiding, and a large num- ber of well-known local church workers in attendance. The meeting is devoted to prayer and talks tending to advance the work of the society, interspersed with musical selections. A consecration service occupied the open- ing hours of the meeting. After prayer and the singing of ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” led by Mrs. Gibson and Miss Mat- tie Gray, members of the choir of Metro- politan Church, Mrs. La Fetra extended a few words of greeting to those assembled and thanked them for their attendance. Mrs. J. C. Tasker then offered an earnest prayer, aud she was followed by Mrs. J. E. Gilbert, who gave a Bible talk, taking as her theme the account of the events in- tervening between the resurrection and the ascension of Christ. Mrs. Gilbert poin:- ea cut the necessitv for eainest and con- stant prayer in daily life, dwelling on the duty of all to make their lives echoes of the love and work of God. Miss Mattie Gray sang artistically a con- tralto solo, accompanied by Mrs. Gibson, and then Mrs. T. H. Martin, president of the Mission Society of Hamline M. E. Church, was introduced. Mrs. Martin spoke interestingly about missionary work, urging particularly that young folks be brought into the society. Mrs. S..M. Hart- sock of Ryland Church also spoke at length on the special call to work. Mrs. La Fetra suggested that the hour of 12 o'clock be made‘a* period of noontide prayer, in accordance with the custom of temperance workers, and Mrs. Roach, cor- responding secretary of the Woman's For- eign Missionary Soctety of the Baltimore conference, oe calléd on’ to conduct the special service. The morning sessién was brought to a close with greetings from sister Christian churches by Mrs. C. C. Schell. ‘A social hour was then indulged in, dur- ing which was served what the society termed a “nickel-plate” luncheon. At 2 o'clock the afternoon session was opened with music. Rev. Dr. Johnston, pastor of Metropolitan Church, offered prayer and Mrs. W. M. Springer followed_with a Bible talk. Next there was a missionary sym- posium, Mrs. Mary E. Hitt, Mrs. S. L. Bei- ler and Mrs. A. H.: Eaton each giving a five-minute talk. Greetings from sister Presbyterian churches were presented by Mrs. M. H. McKnight, andi Mrs. J. H. Platt extended greetings from ‘sister Congrega- tional churches. The meeting then adjourned until this evening, when Rev. Dr. Johnston will con- duct devotional exercises, Mrs. A. H. Jew- ett will read a poem entitled “The Land of Ease” and Mrs. A. H. Eaton will deliver an address. An Easter offering is to be made and the convocation brought to a close with a benediction. —_—_—.—_ In Memory of Mr. Mansur. At a meeting of the officers of the Treas- ury Department yesterday afternoon in the office of Secretary Carlisle, who pre- gided, appropriate resolutions were adopted on the death of Charles H.

Ben. F. Wright, the man who shot him- self in the woods near Glenwood cemetery yesterday morning, died at the Emergency Hospital at 7 o'clock this morning as the result of his self-inflicted wounds. Yester- day afternoon the physicians in attendance decided that his wounds were of a prob- ably fatal nature, and advised his removal to the hospital. This suggestion was fol- lowed, and the injured man was taken from his brother's residence, on 10th street near O, at about 4:30 o'clock. He failed steadily through the night, ard, though | retaining consciousness, continued to sink until his death this morning. He was in great pain at times, but did not once speak regretfully of his act. He told the physi- ciens during the afternoon that he had first fired four or five shots into his left breast in the region of the heart, but feel- ing no immediate effects from the balls, he concluded that the thickness of his outer &arments had caused them to deflect. He therefore removed his coat and vest and deltberately placed the muzzle of the thirty- two-caliber pistol that he, was using against his abdomen and fired“the ball that finally caused his death. It was found that it had traversed the bowels and had caused six punctures. There were six shots found in all, Wright having emptied his pistol of all ‘the charges In his pockets were found several papers, among them a letter to his wife, from whom he has been separated now about @ year. That has been delivered to her, and its contents are not known. Another note was for his brother, Mr. John Wright, and told him that the shooting was his-own deed. He begged his brother to blame no one. for the deed, but to understand that the wounds were self-inflicted. He made no direct statement to explain the cause. of his act, but said enough at times to lead those around him to believe that he took his life in a fit of despond- ency, partly caused by his separation from his wife and partly on account of the loss of his position in the government printing office, from which he was discharged last summer. His brother, the undertaker, soon after that event, set him up in the little cigar stand that he kept in the nook just west of 9th street on Pennsylvania avenue, but he did not recover from the grief of losing the place he had held for 80 many years. So far as is known he was moderately successful in his business, and made enough to support himself well, His wife maintained herself by taking boarders. Two of their sons are in the west at school, where they were sent by Mr. John Wright, who has had charge of them for several years. There are two other sons, ungrown, and they are with their mother. Mrs. Wright and these boys were with the injured man most of the time after the discovery of his body. It was ascer- tained that Wright must have been con- templating this act for some days, for he has said many things that now, in the light of the suicide, show that he had been turning the matter over in his mind. On Monday he bade his brother good-bye as he left the house in the morning. He breakfasted there as a rule, and this fact was commented upon by the brother at the time. Coroner Hammett visited the Emergency Hespital just before noon today and after viewing the body and hearing the state- ments of the physicians who attended Wright decided that there was no doubt that It was aecase of suicide, and so de- clared that an inquest was unnecessary.

RISE IN BEEF % The Agricultural Department Still ccndition at in-" /casés to withdraw plea and demur or file cent a Investigating the Cause. DR. SALMON GIVES SOME FIGURES Looks Like an Agreement Between the Big Packers. THE LOCAL EFFECT + Reports still continue to come in to the Department of Agriculture from its agents in the west who are making an investiga- tion of the causes which have led to the recent big rise in the price of beef. They have not~been received in sufficient force yet to justify the department in making a final statement with reference to the mat- ter, embodying ajl-the facts that have been unearthed, but the more deeply the inves- tigation goes the more the officials of the department are-convinced that the trouble comes from some sort of an agreement among the’ big packers to keep up the price of the cowmodity, to the co1sumers, sharing as little as possible of the profits with the original producers, the farmers and stock raisers. A prominent official of the department told a Star-reporter today that they were still in the inquiring stage rather than in the ‘assertive stage. They are collecting facts and figures from which to draw con- clusions which may or may not warrant further action on their part in the future. The substance of the whole matter, the ex- tract of beef, so to speak, is contained in a brief report which the Secretary of Ag- riculture has received from Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of animal industry. Dr. Saluncn’s Figures. Last week. Secretary Morton called upon Dr. Salmon to make an investigation into the causes fn the rise in the price of beef. In the reply to this Dr. Salmon has pre- sented to the Secretary a brief statement as to the prices in the Chicago market of @ressed beef and shipping steers since Jan- uary 1, 1895. This statement shows the ex- tremes cf prices for this class of cattle have been for January, $4 to $5.25; for February, $4.10 to $5.50; for March, $4.60 to $52); for April (first half, $4.75 to $6. Com- menting on these figures, Dr. Salmon says: “The prices show that cattle on foot are approaching paying figures for growers and feeders, but they do not warrant any such sentatioral rise in the price of dressed beef to butchers by the great slaughtering establishments nor an advance such as has been reported on the part of the retail deal- ers in meat to consumers. A normal rise in the wholesale price of dressed beef and in the retail prices should be only in pro- portion to the rise indicated for beef on foot.” The Local Effect. In this city the price of choice cuts of beef nas gone up about 5 cents above the nermai, the dealers maintaining that it is necessary to raise the price of the best cuts in a proportion greater than is done with the poorer cuts, as there is compara- tively no profit on the latter. The whole question to be determined is whether the rise in dressed beef can be reasonably accounted for by the increased value of cattle on the hoof. In the opinion of some ot the experts at the Agricultural Depart- ment this is not the case. They say that the people at the slaughter house find they haye to pay a cent or so more, so they raise the prices above that figure to the wholesalers, they to the retailers, and so on to the consumers, each one who handles the commodity getting more than his share of the profits. They say there is no won- der that the farmers and stock raisers cbject. The natural result of this business is to lessen the demand for dressed beef. ‘Lots of people right here in Washington are using beef on their tables less fre- quently than ever before, and there has been an unusual demand for fish and other staples which can be used as a substitute for beef.
