FAULT OF CUSTOMER.
Can Blame Himself if the Cost of His
Meat Has Not Been Reduced,
Saw DealerS

Chicago, Feb. Cts the fault of the
customer if his meat bills have not
been over Is per cent. in the
last eighteen months, according to the
market men, who resent the statement
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that
the public still is paying trust rates.
Loud protest came from the retailers
against the assertion that no cuts have
been made in the price Of meats to the
purchaser, while the price Of beef on
the hoof has fallen from SO to So a
hundred weight. 1t is said tina the
packers lave reduced prices to the deal
ers, who in turn, ave made reductions
to the consumer, until, in Chicago at
least, the charges are little higher than
they were before the meat combine be-
gan it's Vaccinations.
The retailers produced figures to sup
port their statements and analysed the
situation in a n that puts it up
to the consumer to see that his bills
have reached q normal mark.
Where the cost of meat has not been
reduced the fact is attributed by the
dealers to any n Of the following
causes: The customer orders by tele-
phone, and does not get as good a
quality az he pays for. The customer
has become so fastidious that he will
buy only the best parts of a carcass,
and the demand for these cuts forces
up the prices. The customer buys on
credit and the dealer charges for the
favor. The customer is ignorant of
meats and falls an easy prey to the
avaricious dealer.

He MADE a A GUESS.
Chamberlain Thought the Beers
Wouldn't Fight, but Were Mere
ly Running a Bluff.

London, Feb. 8.-An interesting little
bit Of ante-war history was revealed
by the liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
5ell-Bannerman, in the house Of COM
mons today.
Referring to Joseph Chamberlain's
gibes at the attitude of the opposition
when Chamberlain yesterday defended
the course OF the government towards
he Transvaal, Sir Henry said that
when Chamberlain interviewed him on
June 20, 1899, prior to the war, and
asked him if the opposition would sup
port the government in sending out
10000 troops to Cape Colony. he, Sir
Henry, expressed surprise; whereupon
Chamberlain said:
you need not be alarmed. There
will be no fighting. We know those fell
lows won't fight. We are playing a
game of bluff"
AS a result, Sir Henry added, the op-
position refused to relieve the govern
ment Of any responsibility regarding
the curse 1t chose to pursue.
The statement was greeted with
roars of laughter from the opposition
benches. Chamberlain, in reply, said
ne did not remember using the word
bluff" His only object in approach-
ing Sir Henry was to make sure the
South African question should not be
treated in a party spirit, SO the Beers
might be convinced of the earnestness
Of Great Britain.

condition is Now Admitted to Be Ex-
ceeuinuIy Critical.

ceedinely Critical.
Washington, Feb. S.-The following
outetin was issued by Senator Han
mas physicians after a consultation
this morning:
senator Hanna has typhoid fever.
The diagnosis is confirmed by the COM
plete examination reported this morn
ing by DR.. Behron. The senator rested
fairly well last night. This morning
his temperature is 100, pulse 81"
President Roosevelt called at the ho-
tel this morning to inquire after the
senator's condition.
Senator Hanna is a Very sick man.
Every member of the family has been
telegraphed to and is in the city or on
the way here. All Mrs. Hanna's en-
gagements have been postponed. She
was to receive today and was to have
attended several important social at
fairs this week.
The situation does not justify the
statement that Hanna Will not recover,
although developments have seemed to
turn n against him. His recu-
perative ability is marked and is de-
pended on to pull him through. The
physicians, While admitting the serious
character OF his illness, are far from
having abandoned hope, but it is plain
they are unable to forecast the future.
Hanna Is Despondent.
His own dependency is regarded as
the most serious symptom. He seems
to believe his end has come and has so
expressed himself. The main efforts of
the physicians now are directed to-
ward cheering the patient and dispel-
hing his discouragement.
He has frequently alluded to the i'll
ness of his friend Mckinley, and it is
thought the unexpected death of the
produces the melancnolia.
The possible development Of kidney
trouble is source of apprehension Of the
physicians. They base their statements
regarding the weeks hat must elapse
before the enator will be able to go
out, ven in the event of no untoward
development, or his extreme physical
exhaustion.
DR.. Behrond is a microscopic expert
of this city. He made two tests. The
first one showed the presence of the
typhoid bacillus. The second test was
made to confirm the first one. The
physicians will issue no further bull
letins before evening unless some unex-
pected development occurs. The doc
tors say the case of typhoid is irregu-
lar.
The question OF sending for members
of Hanna's family was discussed with
the physicians today and 1t was decided
not necessary at present.
Physicians say the outlook is hopeful
for recovery aud that the crucial point
in the illness should be passed in about
a week.

the bill. In this he was successful, his
point of order being sustained by the
chair, but by an overwhelming vote the
house promptly added the sections to the
bill by way Of amendment.
Only three members voted in opposition
to the restoration. Mr.. ~Sheppard's fur
Their effort was to secure an amendment
to the restored sections which would pro-
vide for the purchase of rare and untried
Seeds, but despite his earnest appeal for
this amendment it failed, and the bill was
left just as the committee brought it into
the house so far as seeds for free distripu-
ton were concerned.
This was the only item in the bill that
aroused serious discussion, and Will a few
minor amendments it was passed by the
house without division.
The house upon converting went into
committee of the whole and began con-
sideration of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill.
After a lengthy debate caused by Mr..
Sheppard'S attack on the seed distribution
question had ended and the bill was re-
stored to its original form Mr.. Hepburn
OF Iowa proposed an amendment to the
paragraph providing for public road in
quiries so as to appropriate 500, 900 instead
of $4,000, and urged its adoption, but it
was lost on a vote.
The agricultural appropriation bill then
was passed, and the house adjourned until
Monday.
