THE INCREASE IN MEAT PRICES.
EXPLANATIONS GIVEN BY LARGE DEAL

Various reasons are given for the recent advance
in the prices OF meat, canned and fresh At the
New-York office OF Armour & Co., of Chicago
Tribune reporter was told by representative of
the firm yesterday that live cattle out West were
50 cents a hundred pounds higher this week than
last, which made beef 81 hundred higher. 1t de-

a short supply of cattle. Slaughterers had to
pay for live cattle than usual. and the
farmer got the benefit. Many of meat had re-

at this time a year ago. One pound beef cans,
however. had advanced 15 cents a dozen and two
pound beef % cents dozen in the last
month. No large orders had been received from
the Government. There no advance on pork,
which was sold at the price three months
ago. The present advance beef would probably
not affect the consumer. Another advance in price
might possibly do so. but that depended on the re-
tail dealer.
Samuel Well, secretary of the firm of Schwarz-
schld & Sulzberger, at Forty-ffth-st. and First
ave. said that prices had advanced half a cent on
beef in the last three weeks because the price of
cattle was going up. There was greater demand

general prosperity OF the country! the ldooiliS man

he purchased only pound. The Chinese situa-

go0ss had advanced more on account of the pos
sible demands of the armies of the world than any
thing else.
Isaac BlumenthaI. president OF the United
Dressed Beef Company, Forty -fourth-st and First
ave denied that there was any scarcity of fed
cattle in this country. He said the rise in price
was probably only temporary, and that 1t would
not affect the consumer The retail butcher would
not raise prices the present advance for fear
of losing his trade his rivals. There at
present a demand from Europe for fresh and
canned beef and a great quantity of canned goods

Slips of the Tongue.

It is the invariable rule that men,
bers of the house of commons must
address their remarks to the house
through the chair, and, though in the
flow Of argument an orator is often al
lowed without remonstrance, to use the
second personal plural in admonishing
his opponents, the first words are all
ways addressed to the occupant Of the
chair This, like many other rules OF
debate, has percolated from the house
of commons down to all our minor as
semblies, and the consequence is that
few members find any difficulty in COM
plying with the custom. Not infre-
quently, however, ruling habits prevail,
and a new member involuntarily dis
closes the nature of the assembly to
which he has been accustomed. In a
debate on the Irish land bill in 1894,
Mr.. Kenny, an Irish Q. c., convulsed
the house by addressing Mr.. Speaker
as MY Lord" Mr.. Powell Williams,
in the same parliament, saluted him as
"Mr. Mayor" and an effervescent Irish
man, Mr. Bodkin, astonished the
speaker by giving him the dignity Of
Your Reverence. "-Gentlemen's Mag

AMERICAN FLOUR IN JAPAN.
Also American Built Mills Which
Grind American Wheat.
THE DEMAND is INCREASING.

Washington, July 16.-Vice Consul
General Mclean has made report
from Yokohama on the subject of the
importation of American flour into
Japan. He says that the use of flour
is not confined to the large cities of
Japan, but is becoming common
throughout that country. He speaks
of three or four American built flour
mills, the largest having capacity of
$50 barrels day, that are now helping
to supply Japan with flour. There are
many small native mills of hand and
water power throughout the country,
but their product is of coarse char
acter and they do not compete to any
extent with the imported stocks.
American wheat also is being import
ed in Japan and the considerable
amount of flour made from it is being
sold there. The demand for flour
Throughout the Orient is rapidly in
creasing, the best points of consump-
ton at present being Russian
possessions in Northern China and
Eastern Siberia.

FORMAL DEMAND ON CHINA.
Secretary Hay Talks Plainly To
Chinese Minister.
MUST PERMIT MESSAGES.

Chicago, July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Secretary Hay has demanded of the
Chinese government that the state de-
partment be put in communication
with Minister Conger at Pekin without
delay.
This demand was made upon Mr.
WI, the Chinese minister in Washing
ton, who has, no doubt laid the mat
ter before his government in a
roundabout way through Sheng, the
director of the Chinese telegraph sys-
tenn.
Secretary Hay has grown impatient
at the delay in hearing from an au-
thentic source the truth about the
conditions in Pekin, especially in re-
gard to Minister Conger.
Apparently the imperial government
at Pekin, the secretary declared, when
the Chinese minister appeared at the
department of state with copy of the
imperial decree, was in communication
with the outside world, and there was
no reason why Washington should not
be permitted to communicate to its
representative at the Chinese capital.
Secretary Hay pointed out that
while some credence should be put in
the advices from Pekin, all of which
came from Chinese sources, the best
way to prove their accuracy and au-
thenticity was to permit Mr.. Conger
to send a message to his government.
1t is believed the position taken by
Secretary Hay will produce immediate
results.

QUESTION OF ANNEXATION.
Secretary Root Gives His Views Regards
Ing Cuba.

Washington, July 16.-Secretary
Root in discussing the coming consti-
tutional convention in Cuba, expressed
himself quite positively on the ques-
ton of annexation. In reply to a
question he said that the subject of
annexation, or any other subject, for
that matter, might be brought up be-
fore the convention, but that, in his
own opinion, Cuban annexation, If it
came at all, was not imminent just
now. Said he: "My own experience in
Cuba leads me to believe that the de.
sire for independence is both strong
and general among the people. l do
not think they want annexation even
supposing that we want them.
Under the congressional declaration
we are in honor bound to give them
independence first. If, subsequently,
they wish annexation, that is matter
for them to determine But it should
be determined when they are in
position absolutely independent of us.
Even then, as l have suggested, it is
case where it takes two to make bar
gain.

Kansas City, July 16.-President w.
T. Kemper, of the Kansas City board
of trade, predicts that, with the most
favorable weather conditions from
now on the state of Kansas will not
raise more than half crop of corn,
and says that unless rain falls at once
in Central, Northern and Western
Kansas the failure of a corn crop will
be calamity in many sections. Some
sections of Southern Kansas have had
good rainfalls, and with favorable
weather the next few weeks will have
fair corn crops Encouraging reports
have been received from Chanute,
Independence, Coffeyville and other
towns in that section of the state.
The corn is very clean all over the
state and would have been in excellent
condition had there been sufficient
rainfall. Mr.. Kemper predicts that no
amount of rain could make the average
yield more than two-ffths of crop in
the Central, Northern and Western
parts of the state.

The New England Conscience.

Rudyard Kipling, in Harpers' Maya

New England conscience, which her

A man, and more particularly wom-
