very few years ago the stock grow
ers were bowling about the meat trust
and wanted an official investigation
because prices were so low. Now the
stock grower is very quiet, while the
consumer is roaring at the prices he
must pay for his sirlOin steak. The
law OF supply and demand in its silent
and irresistible work never pleases all
classes.

WON'T RENEW STRIKE
The Chicago Freight Handlers
Decide Against Such a
+a. Course.

Chicago, July 22.-There will not be
n renewal Of the freight handlers
strike in Chicago. This decision was
reached at a special meeting of the
freight handlers union last night,
called by President Curran, to con-
slider report that for of the roads
are discriminating against the old en-
ployes, who went on a strike two weeks
ago.
After a careful investigation COM
mittees appointed to investigate the
supposed grievances reported that all
the railroads. with the exception OF the
Pan Handle. are living up to their
agreements, and that III some instances
the mel, had been accorded better
terms than had been demanded while
they w',re on strike.
While the Pan Handle people have
been unable to place all the strikers, it
was reported that all the old men
would be at work in the course of a
+ sw days, or as soon as the contracts
Of the non-union men who had been
engaged during the strike should ex-
pire.
This state of affairs met with the
approval of the union, and it was de-
cided that there was no cause for. any
future controversy with the railroads,

FIGHTING BURGHERS BITTER
Friction in the Transvaal Between the
Cutters and Lasl Ditch
Isl. s.a ..., ~ Men. -t-agEs 49, 49,. 10y

Pretoria, July 1S.-The settlement OF
the annexed territorities Is not being ac'
complished without considerable friction
This Is especially noticeable in the bitter
hatred and persecution on the part of the
Beers who stayed in the field to the end
of the war against the Beers who served
Us British scouts. 1t Is said that some OF
these national scouts have been shot. Sc
intense is the feeling that many Burghers
who fought consistently to the end dis:
tinguish themselves from those who sur.
rendered during the war by wearing 8
green badge. The Transvaal and Free
State colors are also freely worn, and the
custom Is encouraged by the Dutch who
did not take an active part in the war.
Many of the burghers declare they We're
induced to agree to surrender by the false
representations of their leaders, who
painted the terms too rosily. Discordant
elements are numerous and any attempt
to place the burghers who surrendered
during the war in authority over those
who fought throughout will conceivably
result in a renewal Of hostilities. The ma.
jority Of the Beers have apparently in nc
way abandoned their nationality and some
of them preach the ACCESSIBILITY of open
ing Dutch schools so as to keep alive theil
nationality. The whole situation so bris.
ties with difficulties that there are not
lacking those who doubt If the document
signed May 81 was really the final settle
uent of the South African trouble.

Meanwhile. says the story, the an

unexpectedly, sent n shot after the
fleeing man and then fired at his own
wife. y
Chief of Police Benjamin II. Rich
ards, having heard that some one had
really been wounded, and that the in-s
jured person was a woman, deemed 1t
his duty to order an inquiry.
All concerned, however, have main
tanned the most absolute silence, and
the police have made no Roadway. No
one believes that an arrest will be
made.
The wife in question has secluded
herself; the husband who Is prominent
in horse show circles, refuses to see
any one: the young man, who Is said
to have fed so hastily. Is not to be

New York, July 1S.-W. T. Bryan's long
delayed letter Of apology to the Tilden
club Of this city, has been received by the
secretary Of the club. The letter explains
Mr. Bryan's statement that he had re-
ceived no invitation to attend the opening

that the invitation had been mislaid and
then Mr.. Bryan pays respects to the for
mer president in this way:

cratic party III 1898. I recognized his
right to do SO, and did not criticise his
decision, although as the party candi-
date was compelled TO bear the odium
which his administration had brought up
on the party-an odium which has already
led to more disastrous defect than any
since experienced. He has nev.r yet in
dicated any intention to return 20 the
democratic party, and his business LITER
ests are now such as to make his return
impossible. Until he does manifest some
respect for democratic principles and pol

see the party grow in numbers and in

REPORTS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Railway Earnings Gratifying - Iron
and Steel Trade Very Good, but
Hampered by Scarcity of ~
Pig Iron.

+ New York, July 21.-Bradstreets
will say today:
Weather, crop and industrial deVel-
opments have been largely favorable,
and coupled with the great ease Of
money, make for an optimistic feeling
in trade and speculation. AS stated
some time ago and confirmed by re-
cent developments, the future seems
more and more secure, but the I'M
mediate present does not in all in
stances present so satisfactory an APP
pearance. ,
Railway earnings are really flatter-
ing, June returns on nearly l00,0o0
miles of road showing an aggregate
gain of s per cent on last year. In the
matter of actual business improve
ment Is noted the demand for finished
products Of iron and steel, and lumber
seems to be recovering from the tenn
porary depression. The shoe trade,
and naturally hides and leather, here
tofore backward, have begun to show
a favorable side, and the strength OF
wool and wooden goods Is also more
noticeable. The dry goods trade taken
as a whole, Is rather quiet, but In
creased interest is shortly to be ex-
pected.
Good growing weather is reported
the country over, ara corn and cotton
reports are generally more favorable.
The southern peach yield has been
| large, and fruits generally have done
we'll.
| Iron and steel trade conditions are
surprisingly good
The scarcity of pig iron amounts to
| something approaching a famine. Heavy
sales of finished material are reported
| at Chicago and Pittsburg this week.
| Bar iron structural material, rails and
| in fact all of the heavier forms note
| special activity. Implement manuTaG-
turers have been free buyers. Hard
| ware has been exceptionally active,
| builders material leading. Some west
ern shovel manufacturers report an
unprecedented output and sale of this
| class of material. Wire cloth is active
and large orders for material are re-
ported booked. Machinery, saws and
stoves are active at the west. Prices
note few changes and are at the top in
practically all lines. Woollen goods are
/ still quiet at the east, but reports OF
the clothing business received from,
| western and southern manufacturers
Indicate good business.
| The industrial situation is better
than it has been for some time past.
Wheat, including flour. exports TO,

New York, July 21.-R. G. Dun &

The settlement. of numerous labor
controversies and prospects of early
agreements as to other struggles has
greatly improved the industrial out
look, while agricultural conditions
steadily improve. AS these have been
the only unfavorable influences for
some months the prospects for active
trade are decidedly encouraging.
Preparations for unusually heavy fall
sales are being made, and confidence
grows stronger. Mills and furnaces
that have been idle on account of the
usual overhauling, resumed as rapidly
as needed repairs could be made. FL
nancial conditions are sound, the mid
year dividend distributions producing
no stringency, and speculation has been
heavy for the season, both in securities
and staples.
Manufacturers Of cotton goods hold
prices steady and there has been Il
distinct increase in demand during the
past week. 5.... :. p ~.
Export trade has increased through
buying for India, but China Is less of a
factor than usual.
Eastern shoe shops receive more or

Crop prospects have continued favor
