is caused by demand there. Really,
now, what caused it--demand there
or demand here? Who are the beef
consumers? Why, the workers, and
you know it. Why this increased
demand and the better prices here?
Simple enough. More work and more
wages here. Why more work: Easy

The Car. 1t is Said Will Interfere to
Assist Spain.
New York, July 26.--A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: 1t is
authoritatiycly stated that Russia is
even more active than either Germany
or Austria in automatically prompt
ing Spain and in moving for 4 COM
binaton Of the continental powers
to do something to check the United
States. At different stages Of the
war. the Russian government has as
sllred the Spanish foreign ministry
that it does not want any European
power or America to establish itself
in the Spanish archipelago in Ocean
ica. But having reasons Of its own
for not wishing to appear too openly
to help Spain, fearing it might pro-
mote an understanding between
Great Britain and the United States.
Russia has encouraged Germany to
exert pressure at Manila and has
coached France to take the lead III
demonstrations Of sympathy which
the French foreign ministry only re-
luctantly consented to do.
Ever since then, Russia and the
vatican, with the aid OF the Austrian
court. though contrary to the judy
ment Of the Austrian chancellor,
Count Goluclowslli, have been ar
ranging for a concerted action by the
continental powers to int2rfere both
when an American squadron comes
to Europe and when, in the peace
negotiations, the question of the
PHILIPPINE islands comes up Then
Russia and France will plead in be-
half OF Spanish interests to prevent
the United States, Germany o.
Japan from interfering.

Mckinley Nouchcd for Him

RAJ pll Botkin, son Of Congressman
at-large j. d. Botllin: is probably
the only private soldier in the United
States volunteer service who is di-
rcctly indebted to President Nckin-
Icy for his enlistment.
When the first call was made for
volunteers Ralph, who is only lG
years OF age, went to the recruiting
office to enlist, but was rejected on
account Of a slight physical defect.
lie gricyed a great deal, when he
saw the Kansas troops or the com
mand Of Colonel Lindsey en- route tC
Camp Algcr lie wcnt> up to the
lower house Of congress TO ask his
father as a special favor to use his
influence at the war department in
his behalf. He was an only son and
Mrs. Botkin, who was i'll, hated tc
see him go to war so young.
NIr. Botllin, seeing that the boy
was very much in earnest, called a
carriage and both Of them rode di.
rectly to the White House. Mr.
Botk>n explained the situation to
President Mckinley, who, after quos-
toniny the young man closely said
that he would suspend the rcgula.
tions in order to give such 4 brave
young patriot a chance to serve his
country
"What do YOU want2" asked the
president.
81 want to be a private with IT,,
other Kansas boys" said young Bot
kin.
"You have mcttIc enough to be !;
general" said the president, pleas
antly.
Mr.. Mckinley called the war de-
partmcnt up by telephone, and, after
getting the adiutant general OF tho
army, he said: "Corbin, l have /;
young jayhawker here that wants t.
fight for his country: assign him tc
Colonel Lindscy's regiment at Cam
Alger without examination. | vii
youch for the fact that ne is al
right.'
That very night Ralph Botkin
walked into Camp Al9er, reported tc
Colonel Lindsey, and was assigned tC
tent with another Kansas boy.

history of the United States that The
