Director Merriam.

Editor OF The COlOred American
Dear Sir: A number of articles have
appeared recently in the columns Of
your paper indicating that Governor
Merriam, Director of the Census, is
discriminating against the colored race
IN reducing his force; that charges of
in0ficiency have feen unjus ly brought
against cOlored clert and that pre- m.
ises have been made to members If
Congress for,,..tbeir retention, but that
the members backs are turned 1 am
In position to know that these state.
mons are untrue and unjust to the
Director Of Census. and / do not be
lieve that they should go unchal 'enged.
He is cOnfIO lted with many difficult
problems in connection with the re-
duction Of 'he force, but 1 think the
records wi show that he has solved
these cOnscientiOusly and without pre-
judioe to any clss OF people. T. er is
nothing in his past career as a public
man which slstains such a charge
On the contrary, he has shown every
evidence of his desire to give due TecOg'
milton to the colored race 1t will be
recalled that in the sllotmeI of ap'
pointments which was made st the
time Director Merriam organic ID the
office. he was not unmindful of the re
quests and rights of our people. He
even departed at times from his strict

Supreme Court of Porto Rico Re-
 verses Lower Courts Decision.
 SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 16.- The supreme court of Porto Rico has rendered decision in the appeal of Santiago Iglesias, president of the Fed eration of HVorkmen of Porto Rico, wnc was sentenced last December to three years, four months and eight days im- prisonment on the charge of conspiring to raise the price of labor in Porto Rico The court acquitted Iglesias of all the charges against him, thus reversing the decision of the lower court. A fine of $25, however, for contempt of court in not answering a summons was allowed to stand.
 Fifteen hundred members of the Fed eration of Workmen paraded through San Juan in the afternoon. They stop ped at the palace and saw Governor Hunt, who spoke a few words to them The paraders were orderly. There was a similar parade at Ponce when the news of Iglesias' acquittal reached there. IglesiaS is now at the latter place, where he has organized several unions of the American Federation of Labor

AFTER BEEFPACKERS
Attorney General of New Y York
 Begins Investigation.
TRUST TO. BE BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT
tsovernor OdeII Back of the Move ment-Unprecedente Rise In the Price of Meat May Result In
 Criminal Proceedings.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Attorney General Davies of this state is here from Albany to conduct an investiga- tion into the charges which have ap- peared in print of late that combina- tion of the big beef packers of the coun- try have forced up the price of meats Of his investigation Mir. Davies said:
 T do not know whether or not you here in New York fully appreciate the extent of the criticism which has been leveled at the beef packers. In my own county, Oneida, there has been actual suffering on account of the exceptional ly high rates charged by the western CTS. @I have received many letters from the writers complain of the present diff ficulty of supplying meat to their fami- lies. They ask me if I cannot do some thing to relieve them.
 Before I left Albany l talked over the meat situation with the governor. 1 found him much interested in the subject and very much against any high handed proceedings on the part of any combination. He is willing to in- dorse any step 1 may take looking to the relief of the citizens of the state.
 T am not at liberty to tell the results of my investigations. I have heard plenty of rumors and many reports re- garding the doings of the packers here, but until I can reduce what I have heard to evidence that will be strong enough to take before q court I must keep silent 1 can only say that, as far as my investigations have gone it looks very much as if the packers had ex- ceeded their legal powers. If when l examine these meat men before a ref cree I find that they are guilty of over stepping their rights, 1 shall proceed against them on the ground of restraint of trade and of carrying on q business injurious to public policy. It is crimi- nal for any body of men to create,a monopoly on commodity that is essen tial to tile maintenance of life. If any criminality is found, the proper authori- ties shall be instructed to bring pro- eeedings against them.

RUSSIAN MINISTER SLAIN.
His Life Had Long Been Threatened
 Assassin Under Arrest.

ASSaS81m Cnder ArFGSts
 ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.-The minister of the interior, NJ. Sipiaguine, was shot and fatally wounded at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the lob by of the ministerial offices by man who held a pistol close to the minis ter's person.
 The minister was taken to the Hospi- tal Maximilianoysk, where he died in one hour.
 It was learned later that Sipia guine was on his way to attend a meeting of the committee of ministers. He had just ey.tered the office of the imperial council when the assassin, who had driven up in a carriage, approached and handed him folded paper, saying he had been charged to deliver it by the Grand Duke Sergius. The minister stretched out his hand to take the doc ument when the assassin fired five shots at him. Three of the bullets struck M Sipiaguine, and one wounded his servant.
 The assassin did not resist arrest He said his name was Balsahanstt; that he was a student at Ixiev, where he had been sentenced to compulsory military service for participating in the riots of 1901. He said he had sub sequently been pardoned, but that he had not been reinstated at the univer- sity and that he therefore revenged himself upon M. Sipiaguine.
 The life of the Russian minister of the interior had been threatened for some time
