PRICE OF MEAT HIGHER.
Good Beefsteak Costs a. Cents q
Pound i'm Berlin.

BERLIN, Aug. 3O.-The price of meat in
German continues to rise, and the town
councils and other bodies and newspapers
in every part of the empire are discussing
what is called the meat famine" The
butchers guilds advanced the price of meat
this week from 2lac cents to five cents per
pound. A good steak costs Al cents a
pound in Berlin. Markets are generally
reported statistically 26 per cent higher
now than in 1900, although in Rotterdam,
Paris, Venice and Buda-Pesth they are only
10 to 16 per cent. higher. ~Germany's more
rapid advance is attributed to the scarcity
of home animals, the exclusion of foreign
live stock and the prohibition of canned
meats, thus s~uspending large American i'm
ports. Hamburg figures show that the
imports of American salt and smoked
meats in 1902 were only 12S, 500 metric hun
dredweights, against 305, 300 in 1898. The
imports of sausages have shrunk in the
same time from $4,000 to $50 metric hum
dredweights and American canned meats
from 1850 to 1880 metric hundredweights.
Berlin slaughtered in July $40 fewer ami
mails than in July, 1901, in spite of the in
creasing population, and the slaughter!ngs
were further diminished in August. The
official authorities of the kingdom Of Sax
ony report a 5 per cent. decrease in the
slaushterings since 1901, and a great amount
Of animals suitable for butchering.
A number of important municipalities
have petitioned the government to open
the frontiers to live stock. The Prussian
minister of agriculture, Herr Won PodbieI-
ski, replying TO a deputation of the Posen
Council meeting making such a request.
said it was impossible to withdraw the
exclusion decree, averring that the exclu-
sion of foreign animals had immensely i'm
proved the veterinary conditions of Ger
many.
The decisions of the customs authorities
as announced by the Boersenhalle of Ham
burg yesterday, 10 require certificates of
origin in the case of American grain, is di-
rected against Canadian wheat, on which
Germany wishes to collect a duty of Is
per cent. because of Canada's preferential
treatment of British goods. Unless GER
tificates of origin are insisted upon the
customs officers would be unable TO dis
criminate against Canadian wheat. The
decision is expected to prevent American
~warehousmen from mixing Canadian with
United States wheat destined for export
and grading northern spring wheat, against
which practice the German consul general
in New York had already protested.

MGR. GUIDI PROMOTED.


ROME, Aug. 30.-Mgr. Guidi, the apos-
tolic delegate in the Philippine islands. will
be nominated archbishop of Stavropoli, the
only titular archbishopric vacant. The Os-
servatore Romano will tonight officially
announce both the appointment to Manila
and the confirmant of the episcopacy.
Mgr. Guidi, after receiving an official let
ter this morning, saying the Pope wished
to give him a special mark of his benevo-
lence, and has appointed him apostolic
delegate at Manila, asked for an audience.
which the Pope Immediately granted. Mgr.
Guidi thanked the Pontiff for the honor con-
ferred upon him, and the Pope said that
from the moment il was apparent that the
negotiations regarding the friars' lands
would be continued at Manila he thought
Mgr. Guidf was the most competent and
most fitted to carry on the delicate ne
gotiatiOns.
The apostolic delegate in the Philippine
Islands was also received by Cardinal
Gotd, the project of the Propaganda, who
said to him, Il love you as though you
were my SON"
After his conservation Mgr. Guidi will
be instructed TO proceed 10 his post i'm
mediately, arriving there about Nov. Z.
He Will take with him an English prelate
as his secretary.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The appointment
of Mgr. Guidi as apostolic delegate To the
Philippines means the relief of Mgr. Sbar-
retti, who was designated originally by the
Vatican for that mission. Several months
ago Mgr. Sbarretti asked Rome that he be
relieved of the Philippine mission, and
since July last he has known that his re-
quest would be granted. From an authentic
source II is learned that Mgr. Sbarretti will
receive an important mission, but up to
this time it has not been decided where he
Will be sent. Mgr. Sbarretti formerly was
auditor of the apostolic delegation to the
United States. He was appointed Bishop of
Havana in 1893, and after the excellent serv-
ice he rendered the church in Cuba by its
reorganization, which was made necessary
by the change of government, he was called
TO Rome 10 be sent on a special mission
to the Philippines to reorganize the &C.
clesiastical status there. In March last he
received orders to proceed to the Philip
pines and prosecute his labors. On his ar
rival in this country. however, he found or
ders to wait here for further INSTRUCTIONS.

Ireland Nav Get a Red Hat.

ROME, Aug. 3o.-The reports relative to
the creation of another American cardinal
are unfounded. or at least premature.
For fifteen years efforts have been made
TO secure another American member of
the Sacred College, but it was found that
the American episcopacy was not sufficient
Iy favorable. General Di CesnoIa came to
Rome to advocate that Archbishop Ireland
and the late Archbishop Corrigan both be
promoted to avoid their rivalry, but New
York's geographical position was regarded
at the Vatican as being too near Baltimore
TO permit of Archbishop COrrigan's appoint
ment. With the passing away of Archbishop
Corrigan the situation was much altered,
and it is considered that a satisfactory So
luton of the Philippine question might bring
TO Archbishop Ireland for his
services in the affair.
At the Vatican it is said that newspaper
talk will only delay Archbishop Ireland's
chances, as the Pope is always i~rritated at
the idea of anything being imposed upon
him by the press.

PANAMA. Columbia, Aug. @.-Referring
10 the announcement from Washington
that Colombia had protested against the
action of Nicara qua in assisting the Co
lombian revolutionists, it is asserted in
government circles here that on Aug. Is
the revolutionists' %gunbost Padilla, while
at Corinto, Nicaragua, was visited by
Nicuraguan Cabinet ministers, and that
there was big celebrations on board the
warship. 1t is further asserted that the
m minister at Washington, Senior
Concha, asked the Nicaraguan minister
there, Senior Corea, TO cause the detention
of the Padilla, which he refused to do.
There seems 10 be no doubt that the sit
uation is grave, for while Colombia is con-
solidating a large army on the Atlantic
coast, IL is said that Nicaragua has sent
a note TO the other Central American gov
rnments asking them for assistance in the

of religion. He proposes that each parish
maintain a theater under the management
of the church. In an Outspoken interview

LONDON, Aug. 9O.-One of the results of
the report of the committee on army edu-
cation is a scheme of the War Office to re-
duce the living expenses of cavalry officers
so as to enable a man to live on 81, 600 per
annum besides his pay, the present mini
mum being about 5000. The War Office
proposes TO furnish officers messes and
quarters for bachelor officers at the gov
ernment's eXpenuse and to furnish a full
field kit to each officer. The proposed con-
cessions will greatly relieve the strain on
the poorer officers and are sure to result
in the entry of a more efficient, if not so
fashionable element, into the cavalry
branch of the service.

New wireless Telegraph Scheme.

LONDON, Aug. 3-One of the latest
wireless telegraph schemes is the proposed
installation of a combined lightship and
ocean telegraph station. one hundred miles
west of the Lizard. 1t is suggested that
a vessel provided with a powerful search
light, projected against the clouds, mark
the position of the station at night. The
wireless plant is TO be powerful enough
to command the fair way of the channel
and exchange news and orders with pass
ing vessels. Should the experiment sue
ceed ii is proposed to establish a number
of such ships along the coast. 1t is thought
that they will be particularly valuable in
the transmission of meteorological reports
and storm warnings.
