BEEF PUT ur ny A COMBINE.
Cattle ON the Hoof Very Little Higher
Than a Year Ago.

Washington. April 2A-It is understood
that the developments thus far made in
the investigation Of the beef question.
have almost convinced Secretary Morton
that a combination has been formed FOR
the purpose of putting up the price Of beef.
The secretary early in the history of the
recent rise was inclined to attribute it TO
natural scarcity of fat cattle Notwith-
standing the unusual advance In dressed
meat cattle on the hoof show a very mod
crate Increase in value even less than IL
would seem natural to expect In view of
the small receipts by comparison with a
year ago
Chicago. III. April 2i-The live stock
men of Chicago do not like the reports
sent out by Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton. intmating that the high price Of
meat is caused by a combination Of the
stock men as against both the producer
and consumer of meat. At a largely at
tended meeting held at the stock exchange
at the Union stock yards to-day, a long
series OF resolutions were adopted and or
dered telegraphed to Secretary Morton
The resolutions say the receipts of cattle
at the four principal western markets for
tho current year are 10000 head less than
for the same period of 1894. This alone Is
responsible for the increase In the prices
OF dressed beef. Statements recently sent
out, charging that there Is a combine or
trust are pronounced unjust, and the
public is asked to withhold its Judgment
until the merit of the controversy can be
investigated by the press.

CHICAGO ron HONEST COIN.
-Four ont of Every Five Democrats
Against Free silver.


Chicago, ILL.,, April 24.-President Rob
bins and secretary Richards of the Hon
est Money League section of the local de-
mocracy opened permanent headquarters
for the league to-day In the Palmer house.
From this headquarters canvassers have
been sent out in fun force to-day to search
thoroughly the entire downtown section
of the city and secure the signatures of
democrats to the leagues declaration of
said one of the canvassers to-day. About
four out of every five democrats / meet
gladly signs the declaration. Most of
those who don't sign base their refusal,
not upon hostility TO the gold system, but
their lack of knowledge about the money
question. They say that they have not
studied the subject any yet and don't
care TO jump in the dark"
The honest money league at a full meet
ing of the executive committee held at the
headquarters to-day, issued an address in
the shape of a resolution to the demo-
cratic voters of the county appealing to
them to abstain from participating in the
primaries to be held on May and to en-
tirely ignore any action which may be
taken on the monetary question at the
state convention of the Democratic party
to be held in June. The calling of such
convention is declared TO be a usurpation
of power on the part of the democratic
state central committee, calculated to
bring disaster on the party in Cook coun-
ty. The committee on public meetings Of
the league was directed to at once arrange
for a mass meeting to be held in this city
TO give expression to the protest. The
date of this meeting was fixed for May B.
the day the primaries are to be held The
idea of the sound money democrats is TO
cast discredit on the work of the dele
gates to the Springfield convention as
lacking legitimate authority. Signatures
pies are coming into headquarters at the
rate of 800 a day.

the Death Penalty.

Sing Sing. N. ". April 24.-Buchanau
before he retired last night. wrote a long
letter to Gov. Morton thanking him for
listening to the appeal of his wife and for
granting him a respite of one week.
Buchanan's young wife came direct from
Albany last night to Sing Sing and spen4
some time with her husband in the prison.
Buchanan told her that he did not expect
to be executed next week. and he still had
strong hopes OF escaping the death pen>

were 10 keep up her courage, to see his
lawyers to-day and urge them to take ad-
vantage OF whatever chance there mighn
now be to prevent the execution OF the
death sentence next week.
Warden Sage said to-day that he would
not execute Buchanan until he had con-
fcrred with the attorney general as to
whether it would be legal to carry out the
law next week, when the respite granted
by the governor will expire. He said no

STRIKE or THE nus DRIVERS.
The Company Makes Concessions
and the Men Apt 20 Return to Work.

Paris, April 24.-The situation in the
omnibus strike changed somewhat this
afternoon. There were very much fewer
riotous demonstrations to-day than yes
terday, which is perhaps accounted for by
the fact that all of the strikers arrested
for rioting yesterday We're promptly con-
victed of disorderly conduct to-day and
punished. The moral effect of this action
was greatly enhanced by the physical ef-
feet produced by the procedure of the
prefect of police, who to-day employed
$500 regular policeman and 1900 Of the
municipal guards in the preservation of
order. 1t is now believed that the strike
is approaching its end The omnibus
company has consented to the point made
by the men that the minimum pay shall
be 3il francs day and the men, in consid-
GRAFTON of this concession, will probably
abate some of their claims. Several other
points have been conceded to the strikers
and 1t is probable that most of them will
return to work.
Proust and Deville, leaders of the om-
nibus strikers, have been arrested for in
citing the men to violence.

Englands refusal to cooperate with the
other powers is due solely to the desire
not to take part in matters in which she
mas no immediate concern. We trust It

DO more than to endeavOr to persuade
Japan. There is nothing to be gained

ting the various conditions of the treaty
which she cannot allow.
