So, They Saw.

Five hundred employees of the
packing firm of Libby. Mcneil &
Libby at Chicago have been re-
leased owing to "dull times"
Supt. Morrow said that the pro-
posed Government investigation of
the packing business had nothing
to do with the letting of the en-
ployes out.
The price of beef on the hoef has
advanced $l.60 per hundred pounds
within a year, and the price of
dressed beef has advanced $4 hun
dred in the same time. Beef dress
es about 60 per cent of the weight
on foot, and there is the oifal as a
considerable offset to this loss. So
that 50 advance in dressed beet
would be liberal allowance, and
the Beef Trust is simply pocketing
profit amounting to about 25 pei
centum.

RED SEA PIRATES.
Flourishiug in Arabian Waters as in
the Days Sf Yore.


News from Alden, says the Madras
Times, tells that pirates, as in the
good old days Of old are troubling
the coastwise shipping, and the
stretch Of Arabian water between Ho-
deida, Kunfadah and up TO Jeddah is
not safe. There are three Turkish
warships cruising along the Arabian
coast, supposed to be doing special
sea police duty, BUT piracy is still 60
ing on. To anyone who KNOWS aught
of the methods q Tho Turkish men-o'-
war commanders this will not be as
tonishing. The latest case reported
is that OF a sambook which left Hodei-
da for Kunfadah. loaded with piece
goods and merchandise worth about
$4,000 aud $4,000 in cash. The
crew numbered l 1 and there were II
passengers. While anchored for the
night, according to custom, in bar
ren place near the coast not very far
from Jaizan, the ship was. at mid
night, bearded by two fishing boats,
containing ~ negroes armed with
large sticks. The negroes fell on crew
and passengers, beating them unmer-
cifuiIy, and, having ned up their
hands and legs, took charge of the
sambook and sailed all night.
The following morninglhey arrived
at small place on the coast, anchored
and four of them taking money went
on shore. They bought 60 rifles and
200 cartridges. came back on board
and sailed again all day with their
prisoners still tied up. After sunset
they came to place called Towail, on
the same coast, which is their home.
On anchoring their friends crowded
to the shore and joyfully helped them
to discharge the loot. After taking
out all the cargo. money, provisions
and the crews and passengers
clothes, they told them to clear away
with their sambook, giving them
only one days provisions. The leader
of this gang, named Ahmed Gobaish,
is said to be a well known pirate and
highwayman. He is also the chief of
;he place. Next day the despoiled pas
sengers arrived at Jeddah and re-
ported the matter to the authorities
there.

My impression was that the Fill

general expressions to me were
that they should love to be citizens
of the United States if they can be
equals of the Americans, but they
do not want to be connected with
any government where they will be
regarded as interiors"
"With the exception Of few To-
cahties peace and quiet and order

territories and am convinced this
condition will be universal through
out these islands in a very short

Scores Gen. Smith.

Representative Siblcy pa ere
ated something of a sensation in the
house on Monday of last week by
severely denouncing Gen. Jacob IL -.
Smith for the orders he issued in
the Samar campaign. "He admits
that he issued the order to make
Samar a howling Wilderness" said
Mr.. Shelby, "and to kill all over ten
years of age. Such a man should
not be permitted to stay in the
army until the sun goes down. He
is disgrace not only to himself
but to every man who wears the
uniform of his country. No man
can justify such orders, no matter
how adroit may be the'plea of his
lawyers and defenders. He admits
he issued the order and hope there
is enough courage, patriotism and
christianity at the other end of the
avenue to see that he is stripped of
his uniform within forty-eight
hours"
Mr.. Shelby was vigorously ap-
plauded by the Democrats and some
of the Republicans.

men were from Sullivan's home town,
Boston, while number claimed to

"As result of the news the men
became excited and finally battle

succeeded in quelling the disturbance

 Information was received at the United States marshal's office at Phoe- nix that Corporal Irish, stationed at Fort Grant, was murdered near that point on last Saturday. He was shot in the back. Suspicion is directed to Haskidistal, an Apache scout and companion of the corporal at the time of his death. The two men had started out from the fort under orders to Will- cox. The agency at San Carlos was notified and Indian scouts and officers have gone out in the hope of capturing the treacherous Apache. The Indians seem desirous of punishing the crime and will aid in bringing the murderer to justice. Haskidistal is an old scout in the service of the government and, like the Apache Kid, was very much trusted Indian.
