THE CHINESE REBELS.

LONDON, Dec. S.-Li Hung Chang, the
viceroy, has telegraphed to Shanghai, con-
firming the news of the utter defeat of the
rebels 1t is feared here that this unex-
pected success will cause the government
TO overrate its power to suppress the re-
bellion entirely. The details of the recent
massacre show that it Was a veritable car
nival of blood. The mercilesS horde at
tackled and set on fire several orphanages,
and an awful holocaust was the result
L 'rrible scenes were enacted on the road
long which Christians fled from the
as assins. Many who became exhausted
dropped by the roadside and died. The
course of their flight is marked by corpses
half eaten by dogs Ii Hung Chang has
just telegraphed that martial law has been
proclaimed throughout Nanchuria.

PAII WAY NEWS,

CHICAGO, Dec. Sit is reported this
evening that the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Niagara Falls short line have fallen
into line with the Erie and will restore
traffic re ations with the Alton. The
board of rulings, however, does not
acknowledge itself defeated even yet. The
other roads will be asked to defer action
until conference can be had with the
highest officials of the Erie, in the hope
that the boycott may be patched up and
again put iuto running order.
f S. Washburue, for the past two
years connected with the Big Four. has
been appointed freight traffic manager for
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis,
te succeed the late Mr.. Sargent.
General Passenger Agent Charlton of
the Alton, in letter to Chairman Finley,
says that he desires to conform as closely
as possible to the action Of the Western
Passenger association in the matter Of rates
for the Christmas holidays and will adopt
a rate of a fare and one-third for the
round trip He declines, however. to re-
strict the distance to points within 200
miles of each other, giving rs his reason
that such restriction would enable the
association lines to impose on the Alton,
as they had always done, by using cheap
tickets to manipulate the rates between
terminals.

why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables.

Why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables.
Meat is manufactured product for
which large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
process of Transforming the vegetable
protein, fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding Of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
corn TO make pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume large quantity Of
soil produet to produce small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation of the
fact that IN most parts of the world
meat j. the food Of only the well TO do.
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
IN Europe eat little meat. and IN India
and China they have none at all 1t is
hard enough for them 10 get the nutri-
ment they need IN vegetable forms.
Meats they cannot afford At
water IN Century.

THE BlkCkFEET.

MILES CITY, Mont, Dec. 8.-Three
settlers have come in from Tongue river
who say that the Indians have noticed the
surveyors at work locating claims and
have been fully informed of the meaning
of the work by an old squawman. The
Indians declare that the white men shall
not hold ranches within the reservation.
Since the escape of the Indians charged
with cattle killing the other Indians have
been ugly, as usual after an arrest. While
they are in most threatening mood, yet
no actnal hostilities have occurred.

a COAL FAMINE

MASON CITY, Ia, Dec SO d. Buch-
eker, a large owner of mining property in
Illinois and wholesale dealer whose busi-
ness covers much of Iowa, today said that
there was not a weeks supply of coal in
the hands of the dealers in Iowa, the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas or
Nebraska. The miners are working on
half time because of the scarcity of cars
The situation is not due to the negligence
of the roads, but to the development of
the west and the sudden demand for coal
caused by the cold weather at time when
the cars are loaded with grain. All that
part of the west mentioned is in imme-
diate danger of serious coal famine.

WARSAW, Dec. S.-The failure of the
crop has not been universal In the
Caucasus the harvest was so abundant
that the grain is still roJting at the sta
tions for want of rolling stock to carry 1T
away. The government has tried to
remedy this drawback by sending over
1000 trucks south, but these will not be
sufficient. There is much reason to sup
pose that there will be "A famine next year.
The autumn wheat has been seriously
injured by rain and it is very probable
that the spring crops in many of the east
ern governments will turn out no better
than they did this year. Indeed, the out
look in Russia IS very gloomy, and every
one is preparing for a sad winter.
