On sccount of this shortage cattle prices advanced from $1 to | 2 per hundred as compared with & year ago, | and the higher prices for beef maturally fol- | lowed. With the higher prices for beef and | the press agitation on this subject consump- | tion fell off and cattle values declined in conse- quence. We regard the present depressionin cattle values, however, as only temporary, as the indications are that the next three months of this year will witness & further reduction in the available cattle supply of fnlly 50 per cent. | We are satisfied that there can be no combine possible among the beef-packers on occount of the increased number of buyers in all the tead- | ing markets and the diversified interests repre- sented by them. . WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—Secre- tary Morter. was shown the resolutions adopted by the St. Louis Livestock Ex- change yesterday deprecating the agitation about the alleged packers’ combine and | attributing the reductions in the price of live cattle of 16 cents a hundred in the last two weeks to such agitation. He said the statement of the St. Louis Livestock Ex- change wonld lead to the belief that the alleged combine of dressed beef concerns existed. “If the agitation, as they term it,” said he, “has caused a decline in the price of cattle on the hoof, why is it a similar calamity has not occurred in the price of dressed beef? 1t remains the same and in some cases is even higher. Their own statement eoupled with the prices of dressed beef answers their complaint.” sl e Failure of a Dime Bank.

WILLNICARAGUA YIELD? May Offer Passive Resistance and Await This Coun- try’s Action. CLEVELAND'S CABINET TO ACT. This Is an Opportunity for Testing the Administration on the Monroe Doctrine. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—The Nicaraguan Minister has received a cable- gram from his Government announcing the arrival at Corinto of two British war- ships with the expressed purpose of en- forcing the demandas contained in the British ultimatum. Just how this is to be done the Minister was not informed. The indications now are that Nicaragua will offer passive resistance to the British demands for some time at least,and mean- while the United States will do nothing but await the developments of events, un- less the British take some action that af- fects our interests, such as interfering with our shipping or other interests of Ameri- can citizens. This attitude is assumed in the full confidence that no attempt will be made by the British to secure any Nicara- gua territory, no matter what course she may be obliged to pursue to accom- plish her purpose of collecting the ‘‘smart money’’ demanded for the expulsion of Vice-Consul Hatch. There is reason to believe not only the Nicaraguan affair but the whole subject of | the extent of the protection to be ex-| tended by the United States to the sister | republics of Central and South America | has been very earnestly and deliberately | discussed by the President with bis full | Cabinet, and that the attitude as assumed | in the case of Nicaragua may be taken as| an indication of the line of policy to be | | adopted for the treatment of all questions | | arising between the European powers and < ics having such a basis as the present Nicaraguan incident | HAD A TEMPTING CARD, Boxing Bouts at the Scottish-| American Athletic Club. But a Knockout Blow Was De- livered and the Police Took a Hand. JERSEY CITY, N. J.,, April 23.—The Scottish-American Athletic Club provided a very tempting card to-night for the box-~ ing show, putting up their three best men, Steve Bloom, Tom Gaffney and Eddy Connell, against Jim Holmes, George Sid- | dons and Dave O'Connor respectively. The | bouts were to be six rounds each. The first | bout was declared a draw. George Siddons of New Orleans and Tom Gaffney then climbed the ropes. Siddons was much the cleverer, doing good work in the third. In round 5 Siddons led, the fighting be- | ing lively. A right-hand blow on the head | staggered Gaffney and he aimost fell. Siddons opened the last round with his | left on the face. Gaffney was not idle and he landed right and leit on the jaw and neck, following it up with a stinging left on the chy They went at each other hard and kept it up until the keeper rang his bell. Referee Early declared it a draw. The police interfered in the third bout, after O’Connor had delivered a knockout blow to his opponent, and no decision was rendered. ON THE DIAMOND.

The Mutilated Remains of a Man Who Was Murdered. KANSAS CITY, April 23.—A special to the times from Richmond, Mo., says: On a sandbar in the Missouri River, near Camden, within 200 yards of where Dr. William F. Fraker is supposed to have been drowned two years ago, William Ming and John Bell found in a barrel the mutilated remains of a man. The head and legs had been severed from the trunk and one foot had been cut off. . The ghastly find was brought to the Ray County shore and an inquest held on it by Coroner Dove. There were mo marks or pavers by which the body could be identi- fied, and it was buried on the river bank. Some speculation as to whether the body might not be that of the missing doctor was indulged in, many theories as to the preservation of the body during the two years the doctor has been missing being put forth. But little stock is taken in the theory, however. It will be remembered the doctor carried $38,000 life insurance in different companies and that his relatives had to bring suit to receive payment of the policies, the com- panies claiming the doctor was not dead. e g Suicide of a Girl.

The Cowles Company Perpetually Enjoined From Using a Sep- arating Process. CLEVELAND, Oso, April 22.—An opin- ion has been handed down by United States Circuit Judge Taft which decides a famous patent case which has been in court for & number of years and which has | excited a great deal of interest. The suit | was brought by Francis Low executor of the estate of Grosvenor P. Lowery, against the Cowles Electric Smelting and Aluminum Company and A. T. Osborne. The defendants claimed that they had the right to two patents by assignment from Charles Bradley for a process of sep- arating metals, particnlarly aluminum, | from their ores by the use of an electric | current, both to fuse and electroize the ores. They claimed that they came into possession of the patents by virtue of a sale to A. T. Osborne who was said to have | assigned the right to the Cowles Electric | Smelting and Aluminum Company. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, claimed that Bradley sold and assigned the patent right to them, and that they held letters patent at the Department of Patents in Washington. The Cowles people also held letters patented, and the suit was to deter- mine which party was guilty of infringe- ment. Judge Taft, in a voluminous opinion, covering over fifty pages of typewritten matter, held that the defendants had in- fringed and were not entitled to letters of patent. He granted the plaintiffs a per- petual injunction restraining the defend- ants from using the patent rights, and or- dered the letters of patent held by the Cowles people canceled and declared void. —_————— Scientists Going to Alaska.

LONDON, Exc., April 23.—The Stand- ard’s Berlin correspondent telegraphs: The action of France, Russia and Germany has not yet exceeded a friendly, but ener- getic protest against the Japanese annex- ing any part of the Chinese mainland. I hear that the Russian Minister at Peking has already been instructed to negotiate with the Chinese foreign officials regarding the cession of the Chinese territory which | Russia demands in compensation for the Japanese acquirings. China, being unable to reject Russia’s demands, hopes to con- fine them to the cession of a portion of | Manchuria and an ice free port. The Daily News says it understands that the Government will not join any combi- | nation of the powers to interfere with the | results of the Japanese victory. The Min- | isters were willing and anxious to avert the war, but they do not consider that British interests are injuriously affected by | the terms of peace. | ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, April 23.— The Svet declares that Russia has con- centrated in Japanese waters twenty-two warships, carrying 360 guns and a large | body of men. This fleet, it is added, with the French squadron, makes a total of | thirty-seven warships, carrying 610 guns. | Moreover, according to the paper,a Rus- sian army of 20,000 men could occupy | Jesso and take Japan in the flank should | trouble arise. YOKOHAMA, Japraw, April 23.—1It is | officially denied that the Chinese customs, | by the terms of the treaty of peace with Japan, are placed under Japanese control. The stipulation says that on the pay- | { ment of the first two installments of in. j demnity to be paid by China, Wei-Hai-We! | might be evacuated, provided China | pledges her customs revenue in order to secure the payment of the balance due. | This, it is added, is optional, and might | never take effect. At present ther® isno | intention of touching the customs revenues of China, much less placing them under | the control of Japan. NOW HAS THE RIGHT. | Japan May Make Tariffs on United | States Goods. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23. — Japan’s right to frame her own tariff rates on United States goods has now aecrued under the termsof the new Japanese treaty | with the United States, thirty days having expired since the exchange of ratifications. | Minister Kurino of Japan says, however, that while the subject of a general tariff | law has been considered in the Japanese | Diet, he has not yet been informed of the | enactment of alaw. Under these circum- | stances, the Japan rate on United States goods will remain at 5 per cent ad valorem until the act is passed. From other official sources it is learned | that a new tariff law is not likely to be | passed until Japan has concluded all her new treaties with European powers. Itis | stated that the new tariff will not be on the line of a high protective policy, but will be | arevenue tariff. While Japan has many | infant industries, it is said they are making | phenomenal advancement. When the | new tariff is framed it is understood that its most important features referring to the United States are likely to be as fol- lows: Kerosene oil, which is now the largest item of United States export to Japan, will probably remain at 5 per cent ad valorem. Flour, breadstuffs, canned goods and other domestic necessities will either remain at 5 per cent or be scaled down, as the Japan- ese policy is to cheapen the necessaries of | life. Raw cotton, which is the third item of export, being sent in great quantities | ! from the Southern States to Japan, islikely | to go on the free list. Japan is anxious | to get raw material for her flourishing cotton factories, which are turning out a product which competes, it is claimed, | with the best cottons of the world. It is | said that the freight rates to Japan are an- other factor which protects her industries. THEOSOPHISTS DO NOT AGREE. Annie Besant and Her Charge Against Mr. Judge. NEW YORK, ., April 23.—A London | dispatch says that Annie Besantisto re | open her charge against W. Q. Judge, the vice-president of the Theosophical Society, alleging that Mr. Judge has manufactured and distributed forged messages of the Mahatmas. Mr. Judge was seen by a re- porter last night at the Theosophical So- ciety rooms. He said: ‘‘Annie Besant wants to be president of the society, but cannot as long as I remain vice-president, for I am inline of succession when the present president shall no longer hold office. These charges that she brings are absurd. In the first place I never had the audacity to claim to receive those messages and, in the second, suppose I had claimed to re- ceive them, who but the Mahatmas them- selves could deny my claim? Suppose that Iexhibited their signatures, where is Annie Besant to get the originals to prove that I have forged the names?” —_—— STOLE A STAMP COLLECTION. Sensation Caused by the Arrest of Society Physicians. MONTREAL, Quesec, April 23.—Edgar Nelton, an American variety performer, has caused the arrest of Dr. Cameron, one of Montreal's society physicians. charging him with the theft of a $4000 stamp collec- tion. Some months ago Nelton com- plained to the police that an unknown man pretending to be his friend had called at his rooms and stolen the stamps. At about the same time Dr. Cameron claimed to have been robbed in a similar manner by a man who called in his absence. Nel- ton now claims to have proof that the doctor sold some of the stamps belonging to his stamp collection. The .arrest has caused a great sensation. e A Overflow of the Dnieper.

A Clear Case Made Out Againsl One Stamp Swindler. HAMILTON, O~t., April 23.—The case against Mrs. Mack, whose extradition is asked for in connection with the counter- feit stamp swindle, was resumed to-day. The United States Attorney from New York was presented, also the Chief of the Secret Service Bureau at Washington. | On the evidence of Arthur Fish of this city, who was taken to Chicago to identify | Morrison, and by the testimony of Captain Porter and Charles Felton, of Chicago,and | others, it was shown that Mrs. Mack, the | woman under arrest, and Mrs. McMillan of 26 Carroll street, Chicago, are one and the same. Also that George Morrison is C. O. Jones of Chicago. The testimony of these and other wit- nesses showed that an engraving outfit, | such as would be used for counterfeiting stamps, gummed paper, a perforating machine, etc., were discovered ina small room in Mrs. McMillan’s residence in Chicago; that Morrison, alias Jones, and three other men were there constantly at work for weeks, and that the prisoners dis- WAR AGAINST HOVAS Several Minor Victories Won by Invading Troops.

The express office clerks from Buffalo positively identified the prisoner as the | woman who sent the package of counter- feit stamps to firms in Chicago, and one of the parties in that city who were duped by them tald of his communications with the Hamilton concern. Two of the wit-| nesses described how Mrs. McMillan ar- rived here on April 3 under the name of | Mack and met Morrison as if they were perfect strangers. ' This closed the case for the crown and Mr. Nesbitt, Q. C., for the defense, asked for an adjournment until Thursday to de- | cide if he will offer any evidence for thei prisoner. Mr. Greer, for the crown, argued | that a prima-facie was all that was neces- | sary and the defense could not call evi- | dence, except to let the prisoner go into | the box. Decision was reserved. MEXICAN' BANDITS SHOT. Two of the Most Noted Cut-| throats Put to Death in a | Legal Manner. At the First Volley They Fall Riddled With the Bullets of the Police. GUADALAJARA, Jaussco, Mex., April 23.—The execution by shooting of the fa- | | mous Jaliscan bandits, Feliciano Mariavos and Mauricio Rivera, early yesterday morning, attracted wide attention. Hope of reprieve by President Diaz was held by the lawyers and friends of the condemned until the night before the execution, when, the time of limitation having expired, the prisoners were ordered to prepare for death at sunrise. They spent most of tlre night either in praying to the images in the prison chapel, to which they were allowed access, or in pacing back and forth in their quarters. At 4:30 o’clock several priests | arrived and took their confessions, remain- | ing with them until the end. At 5 o'clock Sub-Lieutenant Jose Nan- | carte arrived at the carcel with an escort of twenty gendarmes from the Jalisco State forces, and two minutes later filed out with the prisoners, who affectionately em-‘ braced their spiritual comforters. On taking leave of the priests the two bandits were placed in a kneeling position on the north side of the prison, and at the word of command were pierced with bullets from the double file of police, who fired in unison and with telling effect. The two men dropped dead, falling toward each other, after which “‘Tiros de gracia’ were | given in the chest and brain of the already | dead men. The police, priests and others who had witnessed the spectacle then left and the relatives were admitted. After giving vent to their grief, the families of the executed outlaws replaced their regu- lar clothing and bore away the bodies for burial. Mariavos and Rivera were among the most desperate outlaws and bandits who ever operated in the coast country. L e FRENCH STRIKERS VIOLENT. Mobs Attack Cars and Omnibuses on the Streets of Paris. PARIS, Fraxce, April 23.—The omnibus and tramway strikers are becoming vio- lent. and the windows of others were smashed. | An excited mob of the strikers ended this afternoon in the men rushing out of the hall shouting, “Death to the blacklegs; overturn the cars.” The strikers then attacked the carsand omnibuses on the main boulevards and ill treated the drivers. The Republican Guards eventually dispersed the rioters, making several arrests. — Resigns His Portfolio. OTTAWA, O~t., April 23.—Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister of Militia in the pres- ent Government, has resigned his portfolio and will leave for California to-morrow. Friction between himself and Major-Gen- eral Herbert is the cause of the resignation.

Harrassing Non-Union Miners. POMEROQY, Onro, April 23.—A messen- ger in a buggy dashed into town from Minersville at 1 o. &. and stated that the village was about to be burned by riotous strikers. Sheriff Titus went to the place single-handed to reconnoiter. Spies evi- dently notified the strikers of hisapproach, as they disappeared from the streets before his arrival. Last night’s outbreak was caused by a report that eighteen non-union miners would go into the mine this morn- ing.

Thronghout the island posts with several hundred men stationed at each have been established. A French gunboat has ascended the river Betsiboka and silenced a Hova bat- tery at Mahabe. The enemy was driven out with a loss of eight killed. Two cannon were captured. The popu- lation of the village gathered around the tombs of the chiefs in order to defend them, but on finding that the French re- spected the graves they yielded and asked protection from the Hovas, who had an® other camp of 3000 men at Maidane, on the other side of the river. General Metzinger, with four companies of infantry and artillery, attacked Maidane on April 3 and routed the enemy, killing 100 and wounding many. The French loss was 35 wounded. The Soir states that ex-American Consul | Jobn L. Waller, who was brought from | Madagascar to Marseilles under arrest, | acted as the medium between the Hovas and the English for the conveyance of orders for munitions and arms.
