little to be done until we hear from the
legal proceedings against the trust
The reported rise in the price of beef
IN Kansas City has not yet male itself
felt in the local markets. Local dealers
do not see any hope OF a fall until the
Department Of Justice has finished its
Iabors- The impression prevails among
the local dealers familiar with the meth
DDS OF the trust baTons that the big COM
bine viii make a determined effort to Eeep
prices where they are in spite OF al
legal action until after the Government
contracts for the army have been awarded
The popular feeling Throughout the city
against the trust is becoming intensified.
Not only are the proprietors Of the res
taurants and cafes outspoken Il their de-
nuRciation. but the crowds in the mar
kets IN the morning are prone to gather
IN little knots and discuss the situation
with freedom and indignation.

taken up in a dozen large cities through
out the country The wave of popular IN
dignation IS manifestiDg itself in various
ways In Baltimore the meetings of the

meetings. In Chicago. Pittsburg, and
Philadelphia the newspapers and the citi-
zens are giving the dealers the heartiest
cooperation

GOLF LAWS.
THERE MAY BE SOME CHANGES
MADE IN THEM TONIGHT.

New York, May 6-There is much
speculation regarding the special meet
ing Of the United States Golf Associs.
tion at Delmonico's this evening.
The stated object is to discuss the
changes in tine bylaws recently made
by the executive committee and for
ratifying, changing or amending the
same, as the meet ing may decide. {"
Many prominent players are opposed
to all changes and think they ought
to be voted down. The calling of the
meeting has served to revive the old
charges that the executive committee
seeks to dominate the game. The
changes in the amateur championship
and the pairing for the first match
play round on the score basis are the
rulings to which the most objection is
made.
