saddled in European fashion, and his
other belongings including Bulgarian

the story because of the fact that Sara
fof was expected at Pusa on Tuesday
last.

A DISPATCH from Omaha says the
beef trust is squeezing the life out OF Ne
braska. 1t has slashed Lrices on cattle
and hogs and increased the charge for
beef and pork. In the yernacular OF
the market 'it catches 'em a-cOmin' and
a-goin'" till the foremost men in the
cattle industry are on the verge of ruin
and meat has become luxury. Market
statistics taken October 10 show that
within a year western packing houses
have raised the price Of pork 10 per
cent A year ago, in October, the aver
age price of hogs in 10 days was $50 /;
this wear it was $7.20. The trust is
paying 40 per cent. less for pork that it
did a year ago, and getting enough bet
ter price to make profit of 80 per cent.
greater. The same is practically true OF
beef, tie increase in profit being 80 per
cent. 1t is now costing Omaha families
SIS, 0OC more for meat than it did last
year before the trust got under way, and
Nebraska stock men, according to the
estimates of careful statisticians, have
lost s74, 900, 600 this year through the
manipulations Of the trust on the mat
ket. When efforts are made to take the
tariff of of cattle and hogs coming into
the United States from Mexico and Can
ada the protectionists set up the cry that
if this was done the American cattle
raisers would be ruined, but this is a
fallacy, for the trusts pay the graziers only
what they please, and fix the prices of
meats to suit themselves. 4 gentleman
from Fauquier county who was in the
city today in speaking on this very sub
iect said that he had just sold his cattle,
after feeding them for months, for the
same money he had paid for them in the
spring and that as the meat trusts regu-
lated prices he was helpless.

capitalization of the United States Ship
building Company at the direction OF

O1e of the dummy directors" F. P.

that he had not a cent in the world.
The directors, he said, passed on minutes

The CONSPIRACY CASES. standing
room was in demand in the United
States District Courtroom in Cincinnati
Yesterday on the second day of the trial
of Miller and Johns for conspiracy in
connection with the recently exposed
postal frauds. The defense was not
taken by surprise until in the afternoon,
when the stenographic reports of the
private secretaries of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow and of Gen.
eral Robb Of interviews with Miller were
introduced as evidence. Joseph L.
Watson, secretary and stenographer to
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, testified to being concealed in the
office of his chiefwhile General Robb and
Chief Inspector Cochran had their first
interview with Miller about the reports
of the postofiice inspectors regarding the
decision in the Ryan case and the dis
covery of his relations with Johns. He
then read from his original stenographic
notes all that was said during the two
hours or more that these officials were
thus questioning Miller regarding the
case. During the trial some damaging
admissions were made. Ryan admitted
that he took in over 81, 900, 900 through
the mails and had 5000, 900 OH hand
when the postoffico inspectors took
charge Of his concern.

Tries suicide, But Changes Mind.

York, Pa, Oct 15.-Eli Baubilitz,
70 years, growing tired of life, yes
terday, selected the bank of the Codorus
creek, near the Western Maryland Rail-
way station, as a quiet spot to quit the
world. With short piece of rope he
attempted to hang himself from limb
of weeping willow tree. A pedestrian
discovered the body dangling in the
foliage and cut him down in time to
prevent death by strangulation. The
would-be suicide says he is now glad that
his attempt was failure. 'Life's sweet,
after all, " he said, in explaining his new
desire to live longer.

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. Is, 1903

THOUSANDS gathered on the south
side of the Treasury building IN
Washington today to see the veil pulled
from another statue of federal general
that of William Tecumseh Sherman
made famous by virtue of amarch through
a defenseless and devastated section OF
the south to the sea, leaving tram OF
blackened chimneys in his wake. His
effigy will call to mind another federal
general. Philip II. Sheridan, who MADE
q similar march through the valley OF
our State with the avOwed purpose OF
making itimpossiblef for crow to fly over
that norton of the Old Dominion without
carving its rations. Many are madeprom-
inent BY the accidents of wa. who never
would have been heard of during a nor
NAL condition of affairs, and the many
stafnes now seen in and about the Capitol
aud other places in Washington, and
which are being constantly added TO-
will in wears cause that city to resemble
London. where there are almost as
many effigies of men, more or less
illustrious, as lamppOsts. All countries
produce a small number of men whose
names should be perpetuated, but those
deserving such an honor are rendered
immortal by their histories, not by
heroic statues or stOried urns, while
those who never earned their spurs for
the reason that they lacked the genius
TO make them interesting figures Id
history, will as time goes ON be reie-
gated to owls and bats. The history OF
the world shows that such will be- the
case. Busts Of Homer, Socrates, PERI
cles. Philip or Alexander are viewed
with interest by all generations, while
those Of many other Greeks Of less
magnitude attract no interest from
the fact that the originals played no
important parts in the world S
history. 1t will be so with many that
Americans are now placing in the Pan
theon. We are told that Mercury on
one occasion came down to earth i'll
order to ascertain what mankind thought
of him. He entered the shop of 4
sculptor in disguise and after examining
statues Of Jupiter, Minerva, Juno
Venus and other deities, picked up one
of himself and asked the price. The
dealer replied that if the supposed Gus
toner was in earnest and would purchase
either of the other busts he would throw
the one of Mercury in gratis. Some OF
the "heroes" of this day might have
the same experience were they to visit
the earth centuries hence.

Unwilling the sherman Statue.

Washington, Oct. 15.-A large con-
course of people, representing nearly
every State in the union, gathered south
of the Treasury building this after
noon to witness the unwilling of the
statue to General William 7. Sher-
man. The unwilling was accompanied
by cheers from thousands of throats aud
stirring martial music, and in the pres
ence of a large gathering OF men
high in the councils of the nation.
Little William Tecumseh Sherman
Thorndyke drew the folds of the U. 5.
flag from the statue and adds one more
work of art to the already large collec-
ton owned by the nation. The Presi-
dent of the United States, the highest in
the ranks of civil, military and Off
cial life, and many hundreds Of
ex-soldiers who followed Sherman dur
ing the war attended the exercises that
were held around the monument.
The parade which preceded the unveil.
ing was large and imposing. The regu-
lar exercises included an invocation by
Rev. DIR. d. J. Stafford, Introductory re-
marks by Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge,
president of the Society of the Army o.
the Tennessee, and speeches by President
Roosevelt, ex-Speaker Henderson, Rep
resentative Charles Grosyenor, General
Thomas j. Henderson, of Illinois, and
General Daniel E. Sickles and bene-
diction by Bishop H. Y. Satterlee. The
Fourth field battery fired salute Of
seventeen guns just previous to the un-
yelling, and when the statue was ex-
posed to view the Marine Band dis
coursed enlivening music.

A New CANAL TREATY.-The
Colombian Senate Committee, charged
with drawing up bill authorizing the
president of the republic to negotiate a
new canal treaty with the United
States, presented the project to the Sen
ate Yesterday.
1t provides that the latter must APP
prove or disapprove the extension
of the concession for six years
granted to the new Panama Canal Com
pany in 1900. If this is disapproved
Colombia will reimburse 81 900, 900 to
the company, with interest, and will
take possession of the canal works next
year in which case the republic will then
be able to negotiate a new treaty with
the United States.
If the extension of the concession Is
approved by the Senate the new Panama
Canal Company will have until the year
1910 to fulfil its obligations.
The Senate will take up the bill on
Monday.
Tits pointed out that authorizations
given to the executive by the Senate to
negotiate treaties are valueless, as the
executive, according to the constitution,
can negotiate treaties without authori-
cation from the Senate and present them
to Congress for approval, and any law
amending the constitution to this or any
other effect must be sanctioned by two
consecutive congresses.

Seeking Foreign Concessions,

Berlin, Oct. l5.-A syndicate German
fnanciers has been formed to seek con-
cessions from Brazil and other South
American governments to construct a
network of railroads in South Amer
lea One scheme is to obtain a
concession for the erection ola road
from Valparaiso to Rio Janeiro. A conces-
sion has been obtained for railroad
from Santa Catharino to Asuncion, Par
aguay. The right is given to a nominally
Belgian company, which in reality is
controlled by the new syndicate. The
German plan is to outbid the New York
intercontinental railroad company which
is also after South American concessions.

THE VERDICT Of acquittal in the Till
maa case rendered in Lexington, S. c.,
today will cause no surprise to those
familiar with the killing of Editor Con
zales While few approve of the killing,
many have from the first sympathized
with Tillman and are ready to admit that
he had great proyocation and that there
were extenuating circumstances in the
case. For months and without ceasing
Gonzales had filled the columns of his
paper with outrageous abuse of Tillman,
and the latter, goaded to desperation,
met and shot his traducer, In this day
and generation it would have been more
in order for him to have met and serious
ly thrashed Gonzales, than to imbrue
his hands with his blood. In by-gone
years if Gonzales had published such
attacks his first article would have brought
about hostile meeting or public
apology.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gszette.I
Washington, ID. C.. Oct. 10.


Washington, ID. G.. Oct. Is.
The President, upon the recommends
ton of the Attorney General, has re-
moved Marshal Fred. A. Field, Of the
District of Vermont, for dereliction OF
duty in permitting the escape at Provi-
dence. Rhode Island, of three Cinnamon
entrusted to him for deportation.
Leopold S. Stern, of Baltimore, who
fed to Canada after his indictment in
connection with the postofiice frauds,
was brought to Washington this morn
ing by Postofiice Inspector Mayer, OF
Chicago, and Deputy Marshal Arthur
Sewers. of Toronto. He was locked up
pending the efforts Of his attorneys to
secure bond. The charges against Stems
were conspiracy to dehaud the govern
ment in contracts for letter carriers bags
and presenting false claim to the gov
eminent. 1t was on the latter charge
that the order TOR his extradition was
issued. He appealed, but later waived
further proceedings and decided to give
himself up to the Washington authorities.
'The Judge sitting on the Tillman
case would have given different charge
to the jury had he been in Ohio" said
Representative Chas. Grosvenom today.
'In our State the law does not expect a
man to run away to avoid being killed.
Down in Carolina it seems to be different,
for the Judge said that Tillman should
have done his best to avoid meeting Con
zales."
Kirk Munro the writer Of boys
stories who has just returned from a
trip up and down the Chinese coast
called at the White House this morning
and talked to the President about his
Journey. 81 don't think there is any
danger of Russia coming to wa" he
said: "Japan is broke and can't engage
in a costly contest and Russia dOesn't
care to fight. Russia is in Manchuria
to stay and Japan might just as well
accept the inevitable"
In the Supreme Court of the United
States, on motion of attorneys represent
ing the oleomargariDe manufacturers,
the cases which are to be argued, In
volving the constitutionality of the new
cleo laws which provided tax OF ten
cents a pound on oIeo colored in imita-
ton of butter, were reassigned for argu-
ment on November 80, on account of the
illness of counsel.
Minister Takahira of Japan called
this morning upon Secretary Hay and
the two talked over at length the situation
in Manchuria and Korea. 1t sprobable
that he brought some news as to the
nature of the most recent demands made
by Russia upon China, as he said upon
leaving that he believed he had their
substance but until notified it from
official sources he could not make public
the text nor discuss them. The State
Department has been endeavoring for
the past week to obtain information on
this subject. In regard to the bellicose
attitude of Russia and his own country
the minister believes that trouble is now
not so imminent as it appeared TO be per-
haps a week ago. However, he did not
appear extremely confident of peace.
