time the price of live cattle has ad-
vanced about two cents q pound, and
it was a long time before the price OF
meat had advanced proportionately to
the price OF cattle at the packing
houses.
A number Of reputable newspapers
have been too quick to catch at the
absurd theory that the shortage of cat
tie was due to other than natural causes
and these have even gone so far as TO
charge reputable business men with be-
ing identified with the alleged move
ment to corner cattle. This analysis
may temporarily please the unhappy
consumers who are hit by the rise and
gleefully swallow tho specious infor-
nation afforded them as to the cause with
a sort of malicious consolation. But
the exercise of little common sense will
demonstrate that all the gold in the
mint couldn't make money out of an in
vestment in conering live stock. IT
has been tried with large capital and
has failed, invariably, we believe. The
natural causes are "a sufficient explana-
ton and the newspapers who indulge in
slant-eyed investigation will learn that
they cannot fool all the people all the
time my more than they have with the
sophistry and the skilfully-handled
figures which seemed to demonstrate to
a good many innocent persons that tariff
reform" aud free trade would make this
heretofore unhappy" country pros
perous.

reply of the Chillan Government 10 the claim for
damages now being urged by the British Govern

heirs OF Patrick Shields. McKinstry and Shields
brutally beaten by Valparaiso police during
the trouble OF 1881 McKinstry was sailor on the
United States warship Baltimore. and Shields was
fireman the American collier keweenaw.
Shields died a result OF me wounds Inflicted BY
the police. Both men were British subjects and
Lord Rosebery took up the matter and an inter
national tribunal is now investigating the circum-
stances Valparaiso. The Gillian answer evades
the real point IL says that the Valparaiso police
reports fail TO show any record OF the case. and
declares that the improbablty OF the facts Is
manifest at the outset" Chill seeks to avoid pay
ment on the ground that such claims should bee
presented before our tribunals I'm the ordinary
way" Objection In made TO the international trl-
bunal infringement on Chins rights The
Gillian counsel also says that shields drank "A
bottle OF pale beer the day he was arrested 1t Is
therefore possible that this disturbed his reason.

on the payment OF these claims. Mckinstry has
disappeared and the lawyers further action VIII
