BEEF F.iMI.E ~ CHICAGO.
Teamsters' Strike and Boycott of
Stockyard by the

Chicago, May 27.-Chicago's beef
supply from the stockyards has been
almost entirely cut off and unless the
concessions demanded by the striking
teamsters are granted within the next
day Of two the city will be face to face
with a famine
The situation is growing more alram-
ing with the passing of each day. Not
only have the big packers failed in
every attempt to smuggle meat out of
the yards, but the wholesale and re-
tail butchers VINO unusually drive their
own wagons into the yards and take
out loads of provisions have been for
hidden to do SO in the future. AS a
result, there is a movement on foot
among the 1900 or more buthers of
Chicago to close their shops for a week
or two, or as long as may be neces-
sary to defeat the packers in their
fight against the Transfers. Most of
them declare that they are in sympathy
with the strikers and feel that stop
ping the sale of baef would be the most
effective way to help the teamsters.

Peace Negotiations.

London, May Eth British cabi-
net was in session for two hours today
discussing the communications receiv-
ed from Pretoria since the meeting of
the ministers on Friday last. 1t is I'M
stood that the inner committee Of the
cabinet will telegraph the result of the
deliberations to Pretoria this after
noon. The Boer delegates at the
T~ransvaal capital will then probably
return to Veerengingen and report to
the burghers still assembled there. Ac-
cording to the views of the officials
here there is nothing to warrant the
pessimistic opinions expressed in some
come of the discussions at Pretoria and
learns that the government continues
to be satisfied that the negotiations
will result in d peaceful settlement.
Some minor points are still being dis
cussed, hut these are expected to be
fully disposed of within a day n two.
A. j. Ealfour, the government leader,
made no statement in the house of
commons today regarding the peace
negotiations. He announced a post
ponement of the decision of the budget
fixed for this week, remarking that it
would be very i~nconvenient to debate
the budget while there were other
things in the balance" He subse-
quently explained that it would be i'm
possible in discussing the budget to
prevent references to the peace ne
gotiations.

The English papers tell this story OF
an incident in revision court:
A certain person who figured on the
register was objected to by one of the
agents on the ground that he was dead
The revising barrister declined to &C.
cept the assurance, however, and de-
manded conclusive testimony ON the
point.
Thereupon the agent of the other
side rose and gave corroborative evi.
dence as to the decease of the gentle
man in question.
"And pray, sir, how do you know the
mans deadY demanded the barrister.
"Well," was the reply, 81 don't know.
It's very difficult to prove"
AS suspected" returned the irate
barrister. You don't know whether
he's dead or not"
The barrister glanced triumphantly
around the court. His expression grad
ually underwent a change as the wit
ness coolly continued:
~ was saying, sir. that don't know
whether he is dead or not, but do
know this-they buried him about a
month ago on suspicion"
