 Since the 5Beginntng of the strike the price of desirable cuts in Joins and risb has jumped from 15 to 20 cents. A corresponding raise in the price of medium grade falls heavily on the boarding house keepers and the fami- lies who buy the ordinary cuts of steak.

CHAMBERLAIN TARIFF.
Commission Thinks United States
 Has Control of Heme Market.

London. July 20.-The report of Joseph Chamberlain's tariff commfs- sion on the iron and steel trades ar riyes at the conclusion that the de- cline of the British iron and steel in dustry is due to the fact that the manufacturers of America and Ger many have secured control of the home markets by means of high tar ifs and an organized system regulat- inp their export trade, that they are in a position to dump their surplus products on the British and other markets irrespective of cost and that the dumping could not be carried on except for the British system of free imports. The committee expresses the opinion that the situation can only be remedied by system of tariffs arranged as follows:
 (A) A general tariff consisting of a low scale of duties for foreign countries admitting British wares on fair terms.
 (B)-A preferential tariff, lower than the general tariff for the colonies giving adequate preference to British manufacturers and framed to secure freer trade within the British em- spire.
 GOA maximum tariff consisting of comparatively higher duties but subject to reduction by negotiation to the level of the general tariff.
 The report, which is signed by 58 commissioners, is very bulky and gives the evidence of British manu- facturers, the evidence gwen before the United States industrial commis- sion on iron and steel industries, the organization and working of German Kartells and vast amount of statis- tics. etc.

DEMOCRATS DISPERSE.
Conference at the Hoffman Closes
 Goinas on at Esopus.

New York, July 2O.--The conference of democratic leaders which has been in progress at the Hoffman house for the past two days ended to-day when several of the most prominent of the leaders left the city Ex-Senator Da- wis of West Virginia, the democratic candidate for viee-president, accom- panied by Norman B Mack, national committeeman from this state. and his secretary, left for visit to Judge Alton B. Parker at Esopus, at the judges invitation. Mir Mack. 1t is understood, accompanied MT Davis in order to introduce the two candidates, as they have never met.
 Senator German of Maryland who has been one of the confreres at the Hoffman house, and who was also in- vited by Judge Parker to visit him at this time did not go to Esopus. He sent telegram to Judge Parker last night declining the invitation at pres ent, but saying that he would be glad Of the invitation later.
 There will be no further confer ences until prior to the meeting of the democratic national committee next Tuesday, July 26.
 David B. Hill had expected to go to Normandie-by -the-sea to-day for a few days, returning in time for the committee meeting and possibly a visit to Judge Parker before then but he was called back to Albany on per within a few days.
 Esopus, N. Y, July 20.-It is be- coming daily more evident the Rose mount is not the place in which to look for information concerning the democratic national committee chair manship. There can be no doubt that present conditions here favor the selection of Senator German, if he will accept the chairmanship, but Judge Parker to-day apparently knew no more actually about the final se- lection than did the newspaper men. The bulk of opinion here to-day is that if Senator German finally re- fuses the appointment National Com mitteeman Taggart will be the choice.
 Judge Parker to-day pursued his us- ual morning routine, beginning with a plunge in the Hudson, excepting that he did not go for a horseback ride after breakfast.
 The heat was again very intense, though tempered somewhat by a southerIy breeze. The morning mail was much smaller than has been the average of late and there are no fea- lures of interest in it, excepting a very enthusiastic letter from an S-year-old boy in Manchester, N H., who declares himself to be "a Parker boy from head to foot"

 The squadron was discovered in the Straits of Tsugaru at 8 o'clock this morning steaming rapidly eastward. St 3:30 a. m. it was reported off Tappi cape. At ' a. m observers at Hako- date discerned it and reported to Tokio that it was then steaming to the east.
 Warnings have gone out to shipping along the eastern coast of Japan and merchantmen are hurriedly seeking cover. It is expected that most Of the shipping will be warned before the Russian vessels can infiict serious dam age if a raid is purposed.
