ADVANCE IN PRICE OF BEEF.
Steaks Jump Up Three Cents On the
Pound-Reasous Why.

Commencing en- September lst there
will be an advance OF 3 cents a pound
Oh beef and veal in the Honolulu mar
ket. The advance is claimed TO be due
TO a raise Of l cent pound on the
Wholesale price in Australia and 10 the
duty of cents a pound, California
wholesalers not being prepared TO sup
ply the Island market at present. Dis
cussing the advance in price yesterday,
u. j. Waller, manager Of the Metropoii-
tan Meat Company, said:
For the present our customers will
have TO bear with us, as the advance
cannot be helped. We have been pay
ing . cents duty for month on Aus
tralian beef and selling at the old fig
ures. This simply cannot be conup-
ued. The lot of beef received by the
Warrimoo was cabled for to Brisbane.
In reply TO the first cables ouf CORE
spondents in the Colonies wired back
that there was an advance OF l cent a
pound and asked If they should ship.
We could not get beef from California
and had to accept at any price.
1t is our expectation that early in
November prices may again be reduced
TO a normal basis. We have word from
San Francisco that the big new steam
er Sonoma will leave San Francisco
on October 81 on the Colonial run. This
vessel will have all the cold storage
required With the opening Of the
California market to US We will be
able to sell beef as cheap as ever be-
fore. Under its contracts with Island
graziers the Metropolitan Meat Com
pany must pay them the same price for
beef that it costs to import oeef.

DAHOMEY CHIEF.

drunken band fell upon the ground in
all the grotesque attitudes of aban-
doned stupor
1t was not until the next morning that
the guards, making their rounds, enter
ed the hut. Then the horrifying side
of the beheaded being, hanging from
the roof, met their eyes. A patrol was
at once placed about the hut, and the
exposition authorities were notified
Investigation followed, and the truth
was soon known.
But 1t was moi deemed well that the
public should know the facts. Orders
were given that no mention OF them
should be made, and the guard was
directed to remove the evidences Of the
grewsome and barbarous tragedy.
When an attempt was made to remove
the body the Dahomeyans, who had
by that time partially recovered the
senses, resisted furiously. 1t Is a tenet
of their creed that the body Of human
being sacrificed in this way should
be left to putrefy where 1t hangs. This,
of course, could not be permitted.
When the body was removed, which
was not until the exposition was closed
for the night. the Dahomeyans became
frantic, bowling, screaming, frothing
at the mouth and threatening death to
the attaches to whom was assigned the
loathsome task.
Despite official secrecy and every ef-
fort to suppress the horrible scandal
the facts became known. The press,
warned by the government, ignored II,
but the populace could not be deprived
| of its sensation.
Today Paris Is aghast and excited ct
the report, and every grade OF society
has It's own version. Among the lower
classes the widest rumors are afioat,
one being to the effect that the victim
was a beautiful young Parisienne,
another that she was the daughter OF
a Seine washerwoman, third that six
victims were put to death. Officials
are silent, but the people are not.
| Dahomey, whence these sayagSs
come, lies on the western coast Of Afrl-
ca and has a long and odious reputa-
ton as the land Of human sacrifice, OF
perpetual warfare and Of remarkable
and fierce amazons. OF the latteI
there are 10000 as against male army
Of 5000.

together the worst lot OF savages that
the world has ever seen has resulted In
4 shocking scandal According to Z
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Times
some Of the savages became discon-
tented and were permitted to indulge
In some Of the festivities peculiar to
their native lands. Excitement reach
ed unexpected pitch, and at last one
Dahomeyan suggested a human sacri-
flee right then and there. All were
agreed. They proceeded to put the plan
into execution. With loud chants and
weird cries, accompanied by muffied
beatings upon Dahomeyan drums and
the squealing music of Dahomeyan
pipes, they repaired to their huts.
Here the witch doctor, or native
sorcerer, proceeded to select the vic
tim. 1t was girl of II or there
abouts, and the insane tribe danced
and screamed about her.
Nor was she loath to be sent to her
death. AS the band sung and jumped
about her she smiled and clapped her
hands and swayed to and fro in
unison with the barbaric music. Sud
denly, when the song was at Its
height, four stalwart Dahomeyans
grasped her yielding form, stripping
from 1t as they did the last vestige
Of garment by which 1t was encir-
cled. She was bound hand and foot,
ropes were fastened to her ankles, and
she was drawn upward to the rafters,
whence she hung head downward.
Then the frenzied crowd jumped,
danced and howled with the violence
of overweight natures, brandished
their knives and beat the drums. On
an instant one stepped forward and
with single sweep of his sharp knife
severed the poor victims head from
her body and held 1t up in his hands
so that all might see.
Long into the night, far past mid.

Dozen Twisters Reported From
Three Kansas Counties
Yesterday.
Three Deaths CONGRATULATIONS
Demolished and General Havoc
Wrought by the Winds-Details
Are Meager.

KANSAS City, May 6.-No less than
dozen tornadoes of more or less Sc
verify are reported to have occurred
this afternoon in Saline, Ellsworth
and Barton counties in central Kan
sas, which join each other. At Ellin-
wood, Barton county, three persons
are reported killed. Other storms are
reported near Ellsworth and Kanopo-
lis, in Ellsworth county, and near
Brookville. in Saline county. Near
Kanopolis eight distinct funnel shaped
clouds developed within a radius o.
twenty miles, four of them large ones
and two of which are known to have
travelled over the earth for a space of
twenty-five minutes. One of the storms
tore down all of the outbuildings,
granaries and wind mills on the
Waite farm, three miles north of Kan
opolis, and another tore down the
house and barn of farmer north of
Ellsworth. Brookville reports six
tornadoes traversed the country in as
many different directions from that
town without touching it. In no in
stance are details reported The de-
struction wrought has probably been
off the railroads. at inaccessible
points.
OMAHA, Neb., May GA special to
the Bee from Beaver City, Neb, gives
further details of the Wilsonville tor
nado. Many farm houses were de-
stroyed. The hailstones were as large
as base balls and were driven through
roofs. The twister appeared after the
bombardment, and took a northeasterly
course. 1t was funnel-shaped and did
damage over a wide area Farmers
west and north of Wilsonville were
the greatest sufferers. Many people
fed to their cellars.
A. Towers large house was de-
stroyed. Tower, his wife and daugh-
ter were seriously, though not fatally
injured. Houses and barns of H. H.
Parrish, H. H. Corbett and H. A.
Bourne were destroyed The latter
was seriously injured.
A daughter of l.. e. Mcfarland was
in summer house which was lifted
and carried some distance without seri-
Gus injury to her. Five COWS were car
ried a quarter of a mile. The resi-
dence of Rev. Lavine was destroyed.
His wife and child were carried forty
feet but not seriously injured.
Much live stock was killed by the
storm and the damage to crops and
fruit trees was great. The amount of
damage has not been estimated.
