APOLOGIES FOR INSULT
TO AMERICAN CONSUL
Mud Flinging at Cienfuegos Said to
Have Been the Work of
Rowdies.

Apologies satisfactory to the State
Department have been made for the
insult offered 10 the United States con-
sui at Cienfuegos, Cuba. The depart
ment received the following report this
morning from Minister Squiers, at Ha-
vana, concerning the affair:
II have the following telegram from
the United States consul at Cienfuegos:
When ! entered the consulate at $50
o'clock this morning the Janitor called
my attention 70 the fact that the door
and coat Of arms were smeared with
mud. ! reported the facts 10 the police
The acting mayor Immediately ordered
an investigation an he and other au-
thorities called and expressed their re-
greet
The matter was brought TO the atten-
tion OF officials in Havana who express
ed their regrets 10 Minister Squiers.
This will probably end the matter. as
the State Department believes the insult
20 have been the work OF rowdies whom
the government was not able TO control.
Havana dispatches announce that
Lieutenant Hanna has been sent to
Cienfuegos to investigate the insult
The mudthFowing is said to have been
done for political reasons. II IS believed
10 have been an attempt 20 prove the
republic and officials incapable Of main

Give Secretary Wilson a beef carcass
and see how much he knows about cut
ting it up and selling II. He could not
guess within $40 OF what he would get
out of IT. When he says that beef to
the consumer Is too high he does not
know what he is talking about"
This was the statement Of one Of the
largest wholesale houses in Washington
when asked by TIE Times this morning
If beef was being retailed at too high a
price. At the big house OF Schwarzschild
& sulzberger the further statement was
made that the packers are not the re-
taiiers IN any way shape. or manner. as
averred by Secretary Wilson yesterday.
A representative of the firm said:
I'VE do not dictate to a single dealer.
We do not sell them unless they are
sound OF have some backing. and no
matter how much backing they have we
don't pay they do not get any more
meat"
Packers Do Not Dictate.
Confirming this statement. two retail
ers said:
The packers do not attempt 10 die
tate to US where we shall buy our
meats. They do not control or attempt
to interfere with a single dealer in
Washington. There are three large in
dependent houses in the city who do all.
or most all. OF their slaughtering- They
are Withheld & Co.. Golden. Love &
Co.. and. n. Auth & Co., whose prices
are about the same as the trust prices,
but whose business is Independent. and
whose presence in the field has a ten
dency 70 keep the trust prices down"
Secretary Wilson made TO The Times
yesterday the statement that extortion-
ate profits were being harvested by
some one between the man who raises
the cattle and the man who eats the
meat.
This is denied by the packers who are
represented IN this city. and by the re-
tailers themselves. Some OF the man
ayers refuse to make statements. but
those who do speak say that beef is low
and the retailers are not making any
money.
Wholesale Prices.
Armour & Co. gave The Times the
following prices OF dressed beef to the
retailers: Straight sides. TO cents a
pound as against TO s5k cents a pound
during the corner two years ago; hind
quarters, TO lO1z cents a pound as
against TO III cents. and TO cents
for fores as against to cents two
years ago.
At the offices Of Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger. II was stated that the best
beef went 10 the dealers as high as y
cents during the stringency in the meat
market IN 1902.
One manager who did not care to be
quoted made this statement regarding
profits:
There is scarcely a dealer in Wash
ington making a living. Let him cut
three critters a week, and perhaps he
Will make $40. out OF which he has his
expenses. the price of his stall. a man
and horse and delivery wagon. You
can easily see that he is not getting
more than a living"
Another wholesale agent said: THE
most 1 ever got out Of a. carcass was II
cents pound. and II was an AL animal.
That cost me cents a pound. and

On some of these his verdict has been
favorable to the British claims and on
others the reverse.

land are being pushed forward as rap

Il have watched with concern the
course of the negotiations between
Japan and Russia with regard TO their
respective interests in China and Korea,
and any assistance which my govern.
ment can usefully render toward the
promotion OF a pacific solution will be
gladly afforded"
Scramble for Seats.
Extraordinary interest attaches to the
reopening OF parliament because OF the
many possibilities that lie in the near
future which may result in trouble for
the government. There was the usual
early scramble for seats.
Since the adjournment Of the first ses-
sion Of this parliament. last June many
questions which were then in compara-
tive infancy have come prominently TO
the front and they may prove the rocks
on which the present governmental ship
VIII go 70 pieces.
There is the question OF the support or
rejection OF former Colonial Secretary
Chamberlains zoliverein and here is the
greatest danger Of trouble.
The fight on the fiscal question has az
sumed unexpected proportions.
Much interest is displayed in what at
titude the Irish members will take to-
ward the matters at issue, as II is rec
ognized that in their hands. to a large
degree, rests the fate Of the government.

A woman in society is Obliged to
keep late hours. She must attend re-
ceptions and balls. She seldom allows
herself quiet evening at home. Her
whole time is taken up in keeping en-
gagements or entertaining In her own
home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been
called catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time,
If they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact
that Peruna is the tonic for a run
down, depleted nervous system.

PURPOSE OF WASHING COAL"
A Useful and Helpful Process Which
Increases Its Heating Capacity.

A Useful and Helpful Process Which
Increases Its Heating Capacity.
The purpose Of washing coal is to
free it as nearly as practicable Of all
matter that reduces its heating capac-
ity or has a detrimental. effect upon the
metal produced with such coal or with
coke made from such coal.
The impurities in coal are of two
kinds: Such as are chemically passive
but which do not produce heat, but,
on the contrary, absorb heat and clog
the openings in the CRATES by forming
ashes and clinkers. They must be re-
peatedly handled, shipped and freight
paid for them and are burden all
around
The other kinds of impurities are
chiefly iron pyrtes, an ore composed
of iron and sulphur, containing as
much as 53 per cent of the latter ele-
ment. There occurs also frequently
some phosphorus, which remains in the
ashes. The sulphur and phosphorus
are both injurious to the quality Of the
iron produced in a blast furnace and
| for this reason il is very important
that coal or coke for blast furnace use
shall be as free from these two ele-
ments as possible. The phosphorus
occurs i'm the producing matter and
remains there, unless it is given an
opportunity to chemically combine with
iron. lime or other matter for which
il has an affinity.
The value Of furnace coke is based.
apart from general commercial reasons,
upon it's degree of purity from ashes,
sulphur and phosphorus.
The ashes entering a blast furnace
with the coke cannot be disposed OF
as under ordinary conditions, as for
instance when fuel Is burned upon
CRATES. but it must be melted and thus
converted into Stag. But the heat In
n blast furnace is not sufficiently In.
tense to melt the ashes, unless some
other element Is added to the charge
which melts readily and has the prop
erty of inducing the ashes to melt also.
Such elements are in metalurgy called
dux: one of the most efficient and
cheapest is limestone, and this Is used
for converting not only ashes but also
all nonmetallic matter contained In the
iron ore into a liquid Stag. But apart
from the quantity Of fiux required to
liquefy the earthly ingredients Of ore
IL takes two pounds Of limestone for
every pound of ashes brought into the
furnace.
II in accord with this, says Mines
and Minerals, we consider the amount
of ashes charged into furnace con-
Stunning, say 800 tons Of coke day.
and which coke contains said 10 per
cent of ashes, then we find that the
ashes charged amount to thirty tons,
and the limestone consumed In melting
the ashes is sixty tons. Now assuming
that the cost Of this be 81 per ton COM
prising quarrying. loading. shipping,
unloading and charging into the fur
mace. there is a daily expenditure OF
SEQ which Is In round figures $4,000
DER year and represents 8 per cent In
terest on a capital of $4,000. For
this and the other reasons the price
maid for furnace coke IL based upon its
greater or lesser freedom from i'm
nurities. which lis ascertained by chem
ical analysis.
