Meat High i'm Germany.

The price of meat has risen in Ger
many from 20 to Is per cent. recently,
so that now prices are higher by 80 to
So per cent. than in the neighboring
continental states. The prices outside
of Germany usually are 10 to 10 per
cent. lower. Popular appeals directed
by the organized meat dealers are being
made to the government both in Berlin
and IN the provinces to raise the prOhibi-
ton against the importation of live cat
tie. The prices of meat supplied by the
retailers yesterday allowing for difference
in weights and moneys were: Filet Of
beef, AZ cents per pound; boiling beef,
q cents, pork 3lt cents; veal, 3lt
cents. The agitation for cheaper meat
by abOlishing the exclusion laws recurs
at intervals. These laws are based as i'm
the case of the American canned meats
on sanitary grounds. But the constention
advanced that the sanitary regulations
are made unnecessarily severe IN order
to prohibit cattle aud meat imports in
the interest Of German farmers.

End of Strike,

Chicago, July 2l.-The teamsters'
strike ended yesterday, closing one of the
most important chapters in Chicago's in
dustrial history. The end was a stam-
pede on the part of the striking drivers
to get back to their jobs. Lack Offunds,
general dissatisfaction with the leaders,
and assertions by hundreds led to the
collapse. Part of the strikers still sue for
quarter time when the members of the
department stores drivers union appear
at the barns. Sixty per cent Of them
had been promised their old positions.
The places of the rest already have been
filled. The railway express drivers who
blocked settlement after settlement by
refusing to 60 back unless the companies
agreed to take back every man who walk
ed out, applied for their positions today.
The end of the strike caused little stir.
Fof weeks it bad been quiet. Deliver
les were made by all the big department
stores, and except for the presence of
policemen on the wagons, the city did
not seem to be suffering any industrial
throes. Following is the financial buElen
imposed by the strike: Loss in wages to
teamsters, $500, 900; contributions to
strike fund by teamsters, $3.50, 900;
daily cost to board and lodge strike

TIE BATTLE OF 0ULL RUN was
fought forty-four years ago today. A
comparatively small percentage Of the
present inhabitants of Alexandra are
old enough to remember the event. Some,
however. do, and many of the thrilling
scenes incident to the falling back Of the
federal army upon Alexandria and Wash
linton will be reproduced wher attention
is called to the anniversary. The United
States troops had been in possession OF
this city nearly two months, during
which time the population had greatly
increased. Regiment after regiment had
passed through Alexandra on the way
to the front, aud our people who had
relatives and friends in the Confederate
army realized that the belligerenls would
soon come together. On the eventful
Dist day of July, 1861, the sound Of
carnage was waited from Bull Run to
this city, the first engagement that had
taken place within hearing distance of
Alexandra since the british vessels en-
gagged the American batteries at the
White House during thesecond war With
the mother country. The remnants Of
the federal army, tired, hungry and de
pressed, arrived here in squads the next
day to tell the story.

and seriously wounded her. Having
fired four shots at her, he then entered

himself, and, when the police had found
him, he lay on the floor with the empty
revolver beside him. Connaway is now
locked up at the Central Police Station,

at the City Hospital. The physicians

of the Central News at Vienna wires
that dispatches received there from Ga
latz, Roumania, say that eight more
members of the former crew of the mutt
nous Russian battleship, Kniaz Potem-
kin, who have been working in the dock
yard at Gaia, Calatz, have disappeared.
A Russian woman last week took qhO-
tographs of the members of the crew she
saw and the police have been able to
recognize the mutineers by means ofthese
pictures. A ROumanian committee has
been formed to protect the former mutt
neers, who were guaranteed safety from
arrest on condition of their surrender to
the Roumanian authorities. Dispatches
from Vienna stated that fifteen of the
former mutineers had been kidnapped at
Galatz, by Russian secret police officers,
who got the men drunk, and then
hurried them across the frontier.

End of Chicago Strike.

The end Of the teamsters' strike, that
has so greatly disturbed business conditi-
ons in Chicago for the last three months,
is apparently at hand. Most Of the
5000 strikers have made a complete sur
render, and will today seek their former
positions without an agreement of any
kind with the employers.
The first break in the ranks of the
strikers came yesterday afternoon, when
the lumber teamsters voted to return to
work regardless OF what action might be
taken by any other union. Last-night
the department store drivers and the
railway express drivers voted to call off
the strike and seek their former positions
in the morning 1t is expected that
about 60 per cent. of the department
store drivers will be reinstaIed. Today
the truck drivers and one of two smaller
unions will vote on the question of call
ing off the strike, and there is little
doubt, union officers say, that they will
decide to seek their former places.
The employers say that only such men
will be taken back as are needed after
the nonunion men have been provided
for, and that the question of wearing the
union button must be left TO the individ-
ual enfplOyer.

wood residence of James F. Mayhem was
struck seven times. The lower portion
of the structure is of solid masonry more
than two feet thick, but two bolts of
lightning tore holes in the wall and
found egress through two windows on the
opposite side of the room. The holes in
the masonry are large enough to admit
the passage of a man. Mr.. Mayhew's
