New YORK, October oCol. Frank
G. Thompson. chief of the special
agents of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau in this city, said to day that the
United States Government had been
robbed within the last few months in
his district of at lee ST 500. 900 through
the operations of men skilled in the
art of restoring cancelled revenue
stamps. Freeman Strait, who was
arrested saturday ana is now in Lud-
low Steeet Jail, is said to have made
at times 1000 a week by restoring
stamps.
Strait was Ostensibly real estate
and insurance man, with headquar-
ters at 10 Broadway. He was trap
ped by a special agent now working
in the Wall street district. This man
is getting evidence to entrap another
business man who is suspected OF
committing the same offe'ise that is
laid at Straits door. The agent who
trapped Strait first learned that he bad
been experimenting in chemicals, and
discovered that he made his own mu-
cilage, a preparation closely resem-
bling the government mucilage, used
on the backs Of stamps. He formed
Strais's acquaintance and gradually
got into his confidence. Strait, when
arrested, Was taken to Col. Thomp-

Dropped In the Waste Basket.

When Dewey was making his way
home through the Mediterranean,
stopping few days at several ports,
he was the target OF a succession Of
yellow interviews or, to speak more
precisely, of elaborate lies. In the
light OF what he has since said and
advised, those rigmaroles, purporting
to be kilograms from Europe. but
which probably were written in New
York. are shown to be deliberate
mess Os mendacity. The first inter-
view, dated at Trieste, reported that
Dewey was discussing a future war
with Germany. A moments S reflection
on his experience and discretion was
enough to explode that fiction. When
the Admiral reached another port the
yellow fakirs represented that he had
SO high an opinion of Tagal capacity
that the only logical thing was to
grant them immediate independence.
A yellow paper at once telegrapned to
Dewey asking him II he had said what
it's own minion had invented. Dewey
prasped the situation. He dropped
the telegram in the waste basket. He
had discovered the secret OF how to
get along with a newspaper an1icted
with the yellows.
In due time Dewey reached home
and one OF the first things he said was
that the Filipinos are not fit for inde.
pendence at this time. His first con-
ference with the President resulted In
the dispatch Of more war-ships to cut
of the insurgent supplies and capture
their ports. Dewey's waste basket
made the yellow papers tired. They
have accordingly turned their atten'
ton to the President of the Boers to
relieve him Of his diplomatic respon'
sibilities and shuttle the cards them.

British Foreign Office, and Bucking'

Sophisticated. His waste basket has

THIS YEARS CORN CROP.
Secretary Wilson Talks About Its
size and the Price situation.

CHICAGO, ILL, October S.-''This
years corn crop will be one of the
largest in our history" said Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson, who is
in Chicago with the presidential party
to- day. The total yield, it is esti-
mated, will be between twenty-three
and twenty-five hundred millions of
bushels. There will be plenty for
manufacturing and feeding, and we
will have. all the corn to sell that
anybody wants to buy. To what ex-
tent the crop will be shipped abroad
will depend largely upon the price it
will bring. The high prices offered
for meat will incline the farmers to
use their crop for feeding purposes. :"
Continuing on the prospects of good
prices, Secretary Wilson said:
where stock is to be found the
corn will be fed, unless the price be
high. A considerable percentage OF
the crop will be cribbed, as the farm
ers generally are we'll of and are
getting geod prices for their products,
so they can afford to hold their corn
crop.
Meats are likely to be high, be-
cause in the last few years our popula-
ton has grown faster than the meat
producing animals. Then, injudicious
grazing on the semi-arid regions Of
the West has been destructive and
many of these ranges do not have
over 50 per cent Of the animals they
had fifty years ago. A steady demand
outside OF the United States for first.
class meats in the quarter and On the
hoof, and a growing demand, not only
across the Atlantic, but in the coun-
tries in and arouad the Pacific, for
American canned meats is playing an
important part in influencing high
prices. The demand is growing in
the Orient for animal products, and
growing rapidly.
The British in the TransFaal war,
should it occur, will want Our canned
meats. They can not use our refrig-
Grated meats over there. and in order
to feed their soldiers as veil as the
United States feeds theirs. they would
have to take the quarters TO Cape of
Good Hope IN cefrigerating vessels
and then establish a plant for caring
for chilled meats similar TO the one
the United States has at Manila. They
must have canned meats. All this
talk we have heard about embalmed
beef will not change this order of feed
ing troops. Thev may avoid the
kinds that do not have salt in them,
known as canned roast theef, and this
may result in salt being used in this
preparation, but the fact remains that
armies require canned "hen they can
not get chilled beef. The United
States is the only country prepared
10 supply it. and the growing demand
for it in all quarters of the globe will
help 10 keep up the price of meats. :
