WERE UNABLE TO BUY BEEF.
The Teamsters Strike Causes Short
Rations For The Public.
VIOLENCE HAS COMMENCED.

Chicago, May 3l.-Thousands of per-
sons in Chicago are unable to buy beef
at any price and it will be worse Two
hundred butchers on the North and
West Side have decided to close their
shops until the transfers shall be
granted the CONCESSIONS asked, and
many others will be forced to close
because of their inability to get fresh
meat. Although the supply in the
downtown districts, which affects the
hotels and restaurants, has not been
shut Off the deliveries of ice and coal
in many instances have been stopped,
and many will be forced temporarily
out af business.
For the first time since the strike
began violence was used, and the men
are becoming so much excited over the
situation that more clashes are feared.
The police had to be called on several
times to quell small riots.
The distribution of meat to local
houses was attended by great dlfnculty
owing to the attitude of the striking
teamsters. No work was attempted
without the presence of the police. A
non union teamster made an attempt
to deliver meat at the Palmer house,
and was severely beaten for his pains.
At every point where attempts were
made to unload refrigerator cars,
police were present to prevent trouble.
One car was sent back to the stock
yards, it having been found impossible
to unload it.
The water street "luggers" organized
and announced that they would refuse
to lug meat not carted by union team
sters.

FILIPINO SECRETARY OF WAR.
In Washington TO Correct Reports In Cir
culation.

Washington, June General Filipe
Buencamino, of Manila, formerly Ag-
uinaldos secretary of war, called on
the president in company with Secre-
tary Root. General Buencamino was
taken prisoner by the United States
troops at the time Aguinaldo's mother
was captured, and since that time has
been at the head of the federal Filipino
party. lie tol the president that his
mission to Washington was to correct
some of the false reports that have been
put in circul alton with view to dis
crediting the work of both the civil
government and Judge Taft and the
army. The civil government, he told
the president, was doing really won
derful work for good in the islands,
and it had been ably seconded by the
army. The stories of cruelties perpe-
trated by our soldiers, he said, were
either wholly untrue or greatly exag-
gerated. The army has conducted it.
self in way to elicit praise from all
right thinking Filipinos, and this, too
in the face of the greatest temptations
and provocations. Judge Taft's COM
mission had the entire confidence of
all rightly disposed natives, he said,
and it was general Buencamino's hope
that Judge Taft might be induced to
remain an indefinite time at the head
of the civil government. The Filipinos,
ne said love Judge Taft, for he has
never once deceived them, and they
know him to be their friend.

TO VISIT WEST AND SOUTH.
President Will be in Oklahoma and
Kansas Late in October.
MUST BE HOME IN OCTOBER.

Washington, June 2.--President
Roosevelt has decided to make two ex-
tended trips during the coming fall.
He had intended to visit all the places
on his proposed itinerary in one jour
ney, but for various reasons has con-
cluded to return to the capital after
going West and North, before pro-
ceeding to the Southern and additional
Western points. He will visit Detroit,
Mich, Springfield, Ills, Chicago and
other points late in September, return
ing to Washington probably the first
week in October.
After remaining at the White House
for two or three weeks, he will start
South, going first to Mississippi, where
he will participate in bear hunt
arranged by the governor of the state
and Captain A. E. Randle, of Wash
ington, who formerly resided in Mis-
sissippi Then the president will
probably take in New Orleans on the
way to San Antonio, where the Rough
Riders were organized. After being
cheered by the cowboys and witnessing
their COW punching and other open air
sports, he will swing back to Wash
ington, probably by the way of Indian
territory, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri
and Illinois, making few speeches
en- route.
If his second trip is begun late in
October, the president will probably
go to Texas by the Northern route
just mapped out for his return trip,
coming home by the way of New Or
leans and making the Mississippi bear
hunt the last number on the program.

re now on the eve of coming to a head.

suits, than American labor. The
wages now are from five to ten times
