AS TO AMERICAN MEAT
EngliShmen Curse 1t Along
With American Business
:.a Methods.
ENGLISH MEAT DRIVEN OUT,
And 1t Is Now Sought to Alb
solutely Control the
Price.
ENGLISH MEAT DRIVEN OUT,

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The meeting Of
the meat and cattle section of the Lon
don chamber of commerce in Memorial
hall has served to bring out storm of
jealous abuse in regard to American
meat and American business methods.
The Daily Telegraph's statement that
American beef kings, after half ruin
ing British husbandry, now coolly pro-
pose to take an additional million from
British traders and consumers, Ia re-
peated ON all sides. In an interview
with Chairman Cooper of the cattle
section of the London chamber Of com.
merce. he is quoted as saying:
''If it was merely question Of no
abatement, there is no doubt that the
retailers could have accepted the situa.
tion. But it is viewed by many as
marking the beginning of a
Series of Other Encroacmsnts
ON trade. The Americans go so far as
to say not only shall the statesmen
be deprived of the pound and o quarter
allowance in every quarter of meat
hitherto allowed, in order to compen-
safe tor the loss by shrinkage in transit
and cutting up, but he must not make
such an allowance to his customers.
This is only the first step toward OBJ
tanning control of the market, and
when it suits their fancy, to corner the
trade. ~
''The reason the Americans haue OBJ.
tanned such hold ON the English mar
ket is that they have sent meat to it
perfectly regardless of the price at
which it was sold. This was merely
to create a demand. But in so doing,
they have practically forced their meat
upon the market, and what is more
they have ..#
Forced English Meat Clean Out of 1t.
"There are only two sources of meat
suppiy available for the London mar.
ket, excluding of course, the frozen
stuff. One is America and the other
Scotland. England itself is not in ii
at all. The importers have their prin-
cipal centers at Liverpool and at Dept
ford, near London, where their stock
is landed aud slaughtered.
What they are aiming at ,undoubt-
edly is to drive every one out Of the
trade if they can possibly do SO, in
order to create monopoly. The regn-
late not only the wholesale but the
retail price in America, At one time
they fairly cornered the trade in New
Yolk. To overcome this Legislature
was compelled to introduce bill to
the effect that all meat sold in New
York state must be killed in it."
Referring to the cost of meat. MI
Cooper said:
THE American has not TO pay nearly
so much for the carriage OF meat as the
Englishman. 1t costs less to bring a
ton of beef from New York to LONDON
than it does to bring the same quantity
from Aberdeen TO London. The NATIVE
producer is not placed on anything like
fair footing, and the American cap
italists realizing this are making every
effort to control the English market.
We, however. feel that they ought not
to be allowed to do SO without great
struggle. maintain that if the trade
here sticks together, they can bring the
American importers to the old terms,
because their meat must be sold"

GUATEMALA DISPUTE.

A Mexican senator Wants Nearly Half .
Million Damages.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 10.-A dispute
is On over the Guatemala damage nego-
tiations now pending in this capital.
It is over the bill Of Miguel Terucco, a
Mexican senator, for $4O0, 900 damages
TO his logging camp on the southern
frontier by invading Guatemalans
Senior De Leon, the Guatemalan envoy,
holds that there are large discrepancies
in the Terucco claim, and that data
held by the Guatemalan government
will easily prove this. There promises
to be preliminary hitch which will
take many months to settle, and will
necessitate an exhaustive review of the
various things which enter into the
question. Should this finally be set
tied it is evidently the policy of the
Guatemalan government to gain time
by raising multitudinous other ques-
tions to block the progress of the case,
so that prospective settlement is long
way off.
Both sides evince stubborn disposi-
tion to carry their points. Senior De
Leon is constantly engaged in corre-
spondence with Senior Laza Arriga, the
Guatemalan representative at Wash
ington, presumably looking at the
United States stepping in to assume
the role of arbitrator in the case. The
latest known instructions from his
government are that the Guatemalan
minister shall pursue a uniformly pa
cific policy, and these are the same in
structions borne by Don Jacinito Cas-
tellanos, the new minister of Salvador,
to Mexico.

ment is expressed by members of the
house who favor the arbitration bill,
over the lack Of interest manifested by
the parties most affected by it, Before
the holidays many invitations were
sent to prominentlabor leaders, officials
of railroad organizations and railroad
magnates, to present their views to the
committee on labor. No response has
yet been received from any of these
men, so that the hearings which were
to have begun this week, and were ex-
pected to have been interesting and
valuable sessions win probably be
abandoned. Chairman McGann will
bring the bill up in committee for vote
and obtain an expression upon it.
Labor Leaders Distrust.
Mr.. McGann says that the labor
leaders he has talked with are not
strongly in favor of the measure. They
express distrust of two features of it;
the establishment of permanent COM
mission and the authority it gives the
courts to force judgments of the COM
mission. Objection to the first propo-
sition is that searied commissioners
may find it more to their interests to
favor railroad corporations than the
workingmen and may become biased
by these circumstances. The power
given to the courts is said to SAVIOR of
compulsory arbitration. which is gem
orally unpopular with workingmen,
although the DEGREES could not be en-
forced but for short time. There is
Q possibility that the bill will be re-
ported to the house in amended form.

FIVE ITEMS OF PEACE.

Statement of the Terms Being NegO-
tiated Between Japan and China.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-An authorita-
tive statement of the terms of peace be-
ing negotiated between Japan and China
has been secured from official sources.
The statement is made in order TO clear up
much misrepresentation arising from spec
ulation as to the terms of peace. They
are five in number as follows:
81 Neutrality-suspicious. of Korea
Second-Permanent cession of the
Island of Formosa to Japan.
Third-Indemnity of 100000 taels
(Chinese coin worth $LSS.)
Fourth-Permanent occupation of Port
Arthur and the immediate contiguous
territory.
Fifth-A new Japan China treaty
opening the interior of China to COM
merce.
The money indemnity is expressed in
Chinese taels instead of Japanese yen.
The tael is in reality weight instead
of a coin. It is considered silver
money. While the face value at
$1.33 would be equivalent to $399,OOO,-
900 in silver, it is said the actual value
would be between $210,0O00OO and
$22O,0OO,OOO in gold.
The fifth term as to a new treaty
includes various trade features
such as free access of Chinese rivers.
There is no demand for territory on the
mainland outside of Port Arthur and its
contiguous surroundings.

The secretary's letter of instructions

DR.. De Salmon. Chief of Bureau of Animal In
dustry:
SIR:-Furnish at your earliest con-
venience statement of the number
OF cattle received at the stock yards in
Omaha, in Kansas City, in East ST. Louis
and in Chicago dnring the months of
January, February ana March for the
year 1895. 1t is important just at this
time to ascertain as as we'll may be from
those sources what falling off
there is in the cattle supply of the
United States as compared with previous
years. In January, 1885, cattle sold for
$50; in February the same year for
So So; and in March the same year for
$57715 per hundred weight at the Kan
eas City stock yards
And in 1892 they sold in the same mar
ket in January, at 30, in February at
81 80 and in March at $47O per

sold in January at $500, in
February at $3.50; in March So. 20 and in
January, 1894, at the Kansas City stock
yards they sold at $525. in February at
| $3.50 and in March $3.50.
l wish now to ascertain the, prices
paid at Kansas City and in Chicago dur
ing January. February and March OF
1895. and also the number of cattle re-
ceived at those points during that time.
The largest cattle receipts at Chicago
in any one day occurred. l believe
April %, 1892, when 32,677 head were
received, and the largest cattle receipts
at Chicago in single week were 95,52e

ending September l9, 1891; and the
largest receipts of cattle for single
! month at Chicago were in Septem ber

Be kind enough to instruct the agents
| of the bureau of animal industry of the
United States department of agriculture
wherever they may be stationed to col
lect and send in as rapidly as possible
| all reliable data at their command
which may tend to truthfully show what
diminution, if any, there is in the cattle
supply of the United States for the
year 1895, as compared with previou:
years.
Also instruct the agents of the bureau
of animal industry to make thorough
inquiry as to whether, in their judgment
there is any mbination in violation o
law by which cattle ''trust" is putting
up the price Of beef products, while it ii
putting down the per capita price of cat

Abandonment of the Indianapolis Colony


Abandonment of the indianapolis Colony
Advised.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 11.-Recent
articles printed in newspapers telling of
profitable fields in Guatemala for Amer
icAn emigrants induced the formation of
an Indianapolis colony, whose purpose it
was to emigrate to that country.
This colony was to consist of $50 men.
Among its members was J. Conrad Bray,
who wrote to P NJ. B. Young, the Amer
lean minister at Guatemala. asking for
information regarding the fattering in
ducements that have been offered emf
grants. Mr.. Bray has just received an
answer to his letter. Mr.. Young writes
that the interviews which have been so
widely published as having come from
the Guatemalan minister are absolutely
false. The minister says that that
country holds but poor inducements to
emigrants. He says that laborers receive
but 81 day. He discourages any at
tempt at emigration on the part of
Americans. The proposed colony will
be abandoned upon the advice of Min
lister Young
