Berlin, Aug 30.-The price of meat in Ger
many continues to RISE and the town councils
and other bodies and the newspapers in every
part of the empire are discussing what Is called
the meat famine" The butchers guilds ad-
vanced the price OF meat this week from 21a to
cents pound A good steak costs A cents a
pound in Berlin. Meats are generally reported
statisticalIy to be 26 per cent higher here now
than in 1900 although in Rotterdam, Paris,
Vienna and Budapest they are only 10 to 10 per
cent higher Gernany's more rapid advance Is
attributed to the scarcity of home animals. the
exclusion of foreign live stock and the prohf-
bition of canned meats, thus suspending large
American imports. Hamburg figures show that
the imports of American salt and smoked meats
in 1901 were only 12sS00 metric hundred
weights. against 305, 800 in 1898. The imports
$4,000 to $50 metric hundredweights. and Amer

BRITISH AGREEMENT


Washington. Aug. 30.-The customs treaty
about be signed at Peking between the repre-
sentatives of the British and Chinese govern
ments will serve pattern of to be con-
cluded by Mr.. Conger with the latter govern
ment The foreign representatives at Pekng
having regard for the fact that the British
trade interests with China perhaps more
extensive and complicated than those of any
other country, decided to allow the British Min
lister to prepare the first of a series of customs
treaties Although these will be signed by the
powers separately, 1t is the understa nding
among the other foreign representatives that
there shall be special advantages granted
by China TO any one of them. Therefore Mr.
Conger. who, it is understood, already has made
some headway toward the framing of a Gus
toms treaty. will secure any trade adyant Ia ges
which have been given to the British negofia-
tors. There will be no conflict between Mr.
Congers new treaty and that recently signed
for the United States by Mr. Sharretts This
simply substituted specific for ad valorem d,I-
ties as the latter plan admitted of many
fraudulent practices by importers. So Mr. Con
gers new treaty. while changing the rates on

eiple embodied in Mr.. sharrett's convention.

WAR,

Panama, Aug 30.-Referring to the announce
ment from washington that Colombia had pro-
tested against the action of Nicaragua in as
ssting the Colombian revoutionists, it is as
serted in government circles here that on Au-
gust % the revolutonist gunboat Padlla, while
at Corinto, Nicaragua, was visited by Mica
raguan Cabinet ministers and that there were
big celebrations on board the warship. 1t is
further asserted that the Colombian Minister
at Washington, Sehor Concha, asked the Mica
raguan Minister there Sehor Corea, to cause
the detention of the Padilla, which he refused
to do There seems to be doubt that the
situation is grave, for, while Colombia is con-
centrating large army on the Atlantic Coast.
it Is said that Nicaragua has sent note TO the
other Central American governments asking
them for assistance in the event OF COLOMBIA
declaring war Nicaragua. The Colombian
Government, the other hand, Is endeaVorlng

CHINA ASKS REPARATION
BAKER CITY TROUBLE CAUSES APPEAL TO
STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington, Aug. 30.-The Chinese Govern
ment, through its legation here, has asked the
State Department to that justice is done by
the State of Oregon to the Chinese who were
attacked by rioters in Baker City, Ore, on
August g. On that date about fifty Chinese,
who were employed in the city, were attacked
by mob, three of them were shot, and the
remainder were driven out of the town and
forbidden to return. The matter was promptly
reported to the Chinese Legation by the nearest
Chinese consul, and the legation authorities
having waited what they consider a reasonable
time for some sign of activity the part of
the local authorities, have now presented the
matter to the State Department, pointing out
that they do because the local authorities
have shown no disposition to prosecute the Of
tenders and make reparation.
The department will, following the usual
course forward the complaint to the Governor
of Oregon, with the request for explanation.
