cused of embezzling $69O,O00 of the

fore United States Commissioner

John ]. Garrison. a clerk in the note
teller's department.. furnished the only

word and was about % or 80 feet away
from him. Describing the examination
Of the clearing house sheets by Bank
Examiner Hanna on October 18th, he
said:
Il was about twenty-five feet away
and when the sheet was given to AL
word 1 saw him turn his back to the
man next him and make some marks

cage and made some more marks and
then handed the sheet to Mr.. Hanna"

PROSPERITY FOR THE BUTCHERS
What a Cent a Pound Increase Means
to Chicago Meat Men.

Chicago, November "a fiat increase
of L cent a pound was put upon beef,
pork and mutton today by Chicago
packers. In one year the additional
cent will yield to the Chicago packers
the following sums: Dressed beef $15,
100000; dress pork and pork products
81, ,O0O, 900; mutton 1900 900; total ad-
ditional to incomes 39,000,0 900.
Retailers Of meats were thrown into
a panic by the unexpected rise in
prices In the adjustment of prices to
the consumers choice cuts of beef have
gone up as much as cents. pork ten
derloin jumped to the same extent and
mutton chops went up 3 cents. The
advance by the packers is more than
10 per cent. on the price Of meat the
day before election. The advance by
the retailer to the consumer will aver
age 25 per cent.
The packers claim they have been
selling dressed meats at loss for sew
eral years. In six months the price of
meat stuffs has gone up $3.50 per 100
pounds. There has been no correspon-
ding advance in the price of cattle,
hogs and sheep. Representatives OF
the packers in charge Of the dressed
meat department say the advance was
justified by the condition Of the trade
and imposition on the heels Of the elec-
tion Is but a coincidence.

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME
House Ways and Means Committee to
Meet to Decide Thereon

Washington, November 9.-Represen-
tative s. E. Payne, of New York, char
man of the ways and means committee
and republican leader Of the house,
was at the White house today and had
a conference with the president. Later
in the day Mr.. Payne said he would
call a meeting Of the republican men,
bers of this committee for November
2Oth to outline a partial programme for
legislative work in the house during
the approaching session. One of the
matters which will come before this
meeting will be the proposed reduction
In the war revenue taxes. He did not
think, however, that the reduction
would exceed s15,000,000 or less than
one fifth OF the present revenues from
that source. Much, he thought, would
depend upon the state of affairs in the
Philippines when the bill came up for
consideration. II a considerable army
had to be maintained there for any
length of time. it might be thought to
be wise not to cut the revenues too
closely. There were, however, a num-
ber of items in the present law that
might be wisely eliminated and these
would receive attention. Mr.. Payne
expressed the view that the ship Sub
sidy bill would be taken up and an eff
fort made to pass it during the coming
session.

THE CABINET MEETING
Foreign Affairs Fully Discussed-State
Departments Course Endorsed

Washington, November 9.-Two of
the three hours that today's cabinet
session lasted were occupied in a dis
cussion of foreign affairs, necessitated
in part by the fact that the president
intends to eXhauStively treat on this
subject in his forthcoming message to
congress. Reference was made to the
expressions in portions of the European
press that the United States policy re-
garding China would undergo marked
changes Immediately after the election
and it is authoritatively announced
that after a most exhaustive review of
every step of the Chinese difficulty,
from it's inception up to the present
moment delivered by Secretary Hay,
the cabinet ratified every detail, and,
moreover, unanimously expressed it's
judgment that the policy so far pursued
should be continued without change
to it's logical conclusion. Accordingly,
the present legation guard at Pekin
will be maintained and such troops is
yet remain to be withdrawn, according
to the original programme, will be ship
ped to Manila. With this addition to
his force, General Macarthur is expect
ed to renew the campaign against the
rebellious Filipinos with the Creates
energy. Administration officials here
think that as soon as the result of the
election becomes known throughout the
Philippines the resistance to the. au-
thority of the United States will be
overcome

THE NEW PHILIPPINE PURCHASE
State Department Officials Will Not
Discuss the Matter.

Washington, November 9.-Because
the cession of the islands of Cibitu and
Cageyeten Of the Philippine archipela-
go must be ratified by the senate of the
United States. the officials of the state
department positively decline to dis
cuSs the transfer which was referred
to yesterday by the Spanish premier
Still the fact is not concealed, and was
sent out in these dispatches about two
months ago, that the transfer has been
arranged as far as the executive branch
of our government could effect it.
The state department officials regard
the islands absolutely necessary to
complete American sovereignty in the
Philippines. Lying as they do, to the
southwest of the main group of islands
and in one of the most important
channels of communication. it would
be, in the eye of the department, a
most dangerous course to allow them
to fall into the hands of another power
and thus constitute a permanent men,
ace to American sovereignty in the
Philippines. They were excluded from
the original cession by the geographic
cal boundaries laid down in the treaty

FIGHTING IN TRANSVAAL
The Beers suffer Several Defeats-Se-i-
Gus Losses on Both Sides.

Bothaville, November 9.-There has
been heavy fighting since November
9Th, resulting in the defeat of the
Beers, who lost % killed, 80 wounded
and 100 taken prisoners. Seven of their
guns also were captured. The British
lost officers and men killed.
London, November 9-Lord Roberts
telegraphing from Johannesburg under
date of November Sth, gives details Of
the defeat of the Beers near Botha-
vile, and adds to the facts already
known the following:
Colonel lie Calais was heavily en-
gagged for five hours with 1000 Beers.
Knox reinforced lie Calais and COM
pletely defeated the Beers. DeWet and
Steyn, with the Beers, left in great
haste and were pursued some miles to
the southeast. The enemy broke up
into small parties. LIE Calais was
among the killed. Steyn's secretary,
de Villiers, was wounded and captured.
Lord Roberts also reports a number
of small affairs, the most important of
which was an engagement fought No
vember 9Th by Smith-Dorrien, south of
Dalmanutha, which resulted in the
Eoers being driven to the east of the
Komati river.

tial Candidacy In 1904

New York. November 9.-Senator
Hanna. chairman of the national re-
publican committee. arrived today from
Cleveland. He said to a reporter:
'The people of this country were over
whelmingly in favor of sound money,
law and order and a continuation
Of that policX which stands for
prosperity. Patriotism and loyalty
to the flag were strong fac
tors in this campaign, and that,
together with the aid of those who
are generally termed sound money
democrats or gold democrats, but
whom 1 call American citizens. all
combined to bring about this result.
Nebraska was the greatest victory
of all. We made a hard fight in that
state; we went for 1t for all we were
worth. and while we did our utmost
and hoped for the best We did not ex-
pect to carry it. We have carried Ken
lucky and we have not yet given up
hope Of receiving her electoral vote and
we don't propose to give up. We have
carried the state and We propose to
fight for it,"
How about changes in the cabinet,
Senator?" was asked Of Mr.. Hanna.
You won't get a word out of me
about cabinet positions. 1 have moth
ing to say about that. 1t is none of
my affair"
Mr.. Hanna's attention was called ITO
the fact that Senator Depew had said
the insurrection should be put down in
the Philippines at once, no matter how
much money and men it would require
to accomplish this end and was asked
for his opinion on the subject. He re-
piled:
81 think the insurrection will evapo-
rate almost at once. but if it should
not / think we can safely leave the
matter in the hands of the president"
"It has been announced that you are
a candidate for the presidency in 1904?
IF l find the man who started that
report I will kill him. I wont talk
about that or allow any one else to do
so. 1t is too absurd"

decline the nomination if vt was ten

well, something very like it: but
don't wish to discuss that at all. 1t is
too foolish"

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION
The Republicans Cry Fraud and Say
They VIII Make Contest

Louisville, KY, November 9.-Repub-
Hcan Chairman Leslie Combs announced
his purpose today to contest the elec-
torial vote of the state and to see that
congressional contests are instituted by
the defeated republican candidates in
the Third, Ninth and Tenth districts.
Mr.. Combs said:
There is no question that Yerkes
carried the state by presidential plu-
rality of votes cast. 1t will take the
official count to show how many bal
lots were not counted by the prear-
ranged plans of the democrats to re-
duce the YerkeS vote. When it is re-
allied that ten votes to the precinct
gains over $4,000 votes in the state it
can readily be seen that this number
of votes could have been seized by the
democratic party in each precinct
without affecting public opinion by the
open ruffianism and disregard Of ap-
pearanceS which controlled their ac-
ton in 1899. The theftS of this year
are, in my opinion, greater than last
contests, but if the facts are now as
we believe, we will contest the elector-
al vote of the state Of Kentucky.
"AS to what congressman, Mr.. Combs
said:
1--WE believe Moss was elected over
Rhea in the Third district; that N. L.
Hopkins defeated j. B. White in the
! Tenth, and that Samuel J. Pugh de-
feated ]. N. Kohoe in the Ninth. We
believe that their election will be shown
on the face Of the official returns, but
if the commissioners fail to count the
ballots that were not counted by the
officers of election, We shall certainly
contest"
