Yates at the front says:
"One could hardly imagine a greater

after the battle of Liaoyang and the
army now resting south of MukdeD.
The men live in dugouts, but most of
the officers are above ground.
Health Good.
Everybody is well and comfortable.
The dugouts are all shellproof and
each has d stove with sleeping lodges
around the sides. The men are pro
vided with bedding, warm underwear
mostly of Chinese manufacture, and
better Chinese boots than can be
bought in Russia Bath houses are
provided one for the officers and one
for the men of each company. OH
GERS and men partake OF the same
fare which is distributed twice daily
in big coppers from the camp kitchen.
Plenty to Eat.
THE rations consist OF one pound of
meat and two and one-half pounds OF
tea. There is little sickness owing
to the care taken with drinking wat
er. There is guard at each well.
Some of the companies have been
compelled to- use water from the
Shakhe river. Water parties go TO
the banks unarmed. There is a gener-
al truce protecting water parties on
both sides and much chatting between
Russian and Japanese is exchanged

Hint mt Intimidation.
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 3f.-Herbert
Noble, of New York, one of the lead
ing figures in the controversy between
Bishop Talbot and DIR. Irvine. who held
a secret conference here yesterday on
the case. said last night that intimida.
ton had been practiced in getting
Huntingdon signers to repudiate the
presentment against the bishop.
Friends of Bishop Talbot" he said,
'.had an agent at work. and we know
who this agent is. We have had detec-
tives on the case. and we will make a
statement and disclose all the facts to
the public.
I'VE know this agent has done his
best to break the power of the pre-
sentiment and the regulations are the
result.
Still Enough Signers.
Even if the Huntingdon signers do
insist upon repudiating the present
ment it will not invalidate the instru-
ment which even then would have more
signers than are necessary"
w. A. Wilson, another Philadelphia
signer. confirmed the statement made
by the Huntingdon signers that they
signed blank sheet of paper, but
added that all presenters attached
their names to the original paper. The

PRICE IS NATURAL
Population Of the United States
Outgrowing the Produc-
ton of Beef.
EXPORT TRADE ALSO FACTOR
Government Expert Gives Combination
of Packers Secondary Place as
Cause for Advance.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 31.-The
members of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, in
convention here, yesterday listened to
an Interesting paper read by Freder
ick c. Croxton, of the United States
bureau of labor, in which he accounted
for the advance in price of beef during
the past 10 years. He presented sta
tistics in support of his theory, giving
the ratio of the supply to the demand
during the period covered by his pa
per. He said in part:
Advance of 10 Per Cent.
"The retail price of fresh beef is
now about 10 per cent above the aver
age for the period from 1890 to 1899.
The margin between beef at wholesale
and at retail is usually rather close
THE most difficult question encoun-
tered in study of beef prices is that
of supply. The estimates of the bureau
of statistics of the department of ag-
riculture show an increase from 1890
TO 1894 of 1876 per cent in the number
OF cattle in the United States, while in
the same time the population increas-
ed about 30 per cent and the exports
of fresh beef increased 72.9 per cent
Possibly "a Combination.
1T is possible that combinations of
packers exist, which would doubtless
exert a steadying influence on decln-
ing prices, or conformation might be
strong enough to control to some ex-
tent the prices of cattle bought for
or the supply of beef
which would seriously affect
the price to the consumer"
