NEW SOCIETY FORMED
Plan Is to Study American
Methods and Put Them
10 Use in Great Britain
Special Dispatch 10 The Call.


LONDON. Feb. 25.-Under the name
OF the Agricultural anG Industrial So
siety." an organization has just been
formed n London which is going to
make a determined effort TO break
down what it terms the monopoly of
the American meat importers in the
English market. AS to just how the
thing is 10 be done there is much
reticence among the promoters, but
their first step will be to study the
methods Of their successful rivals
For this purpose Maurice Perry,
wealthy sgriculturist and Alfred
Symons, a prominent wholesale
butcher, who have been most active in
the organization of the new associa-
tion, VIII start for America before the
end Of this month They will be ac-
cOmpanied by third delegate, a man
OF general business knowledge, ap-
pointed by one Of the English co-opera-
tive societies. So assured are they that
IN any event they viii be able to turn
10 good account the information they
will pick up on the other side that
these delegates have undertaken to
TROUBLE OVER RATES.
II is declared that the exorbitant
freight rates charged English produc-
ers by English railways constitute at
present the chief obstacle to the sue
cess Of the scheme. English roads
charge nearly as much for transport
ing goods from points in Essex to Lon
don, a distance Of forty miles, as do
American railways for shipments from
Chicago 10 New York.
The delegates to the United States
will, therefore, first devote themselves
20 q study Of American transportation
methods. They will then visit the lead
ing meat depots in the United States
and investigate the system of packing
for inland distribution and export en-
ployed in each place. By this means
they expect TO learn how big things
can be done most economically. When
they return after having mastered
their American lessons, the society
win begin operations with a capital of
$50 600, already subscribed.
II viii start by importing cattle
from Ireland. The cattle will be stall
fed and then slaughtered, the cut up
carcasses being delivered in such por-
Uions as required direct to London
residents. II the railroad companies
cannot be induced TO grant lower
rates motor cars win be employed.
The promoters estimate that by this
method English fed beef can be de-
lvered at consumers houses for
something like 5 cents a pound less
than is ordinarily charged in the
shops for American meat.
TRUST OF THEIR OWN.
II they meet with success they will
extend their operations to embrace
produce of various sorts and expect
later on TO enter into competition with
the American -four mills. Their farm
work viii be restricted at first to Es-
sex. a fertile region most favorably

RESPONSIBILITY UNPLAcED
BY Coroner's Inquest Investigating
South WATERFORD Wreck.

South WATERFORD, Me-, Dec. l.
When the coroner's inquest was re-
sumed, this afternoon, to place the re-
sponslbility for the freight wreck,
Sunday, on the Boston & Maine Rail-
road in which three railroad men We're

amined. The inquest was a private
one.

HUNTING SEASON CLOSES.
Over ALSO Deer, 200 Moose and 35 Bear
Shipped Through Bangor.

The first of December has come
around again and with it comes the
end of the moose hunting season in
Maine, the close season beginning at
midnight, Nov. 80. The record OF
moose of the present season shows
that in hunting these big fellows as
well as the more himble deer the hun
tiers have had great success. Last
year WAS d peor6 one for moose. To
be sure a large Iianlber of the animals
were brought out of the woods but in
comparison with the number killed in
other seasons the moose shipments
showed a decided falling off.
The total of the game shipments to
date is 4151 deer, 20S moose, and IS
bear.
This year the shipments of moose
through Bangor have already made
up in part for the losses in last sea-
sons figures. Up to the first of De-
cember last year 19S moose had been
shipped out of the Maine woods G
the trains coming into the angor sta
ton. Up to the close of the open sea
son on moose this year 206 of the big
fellows had been brought down. Fri
day moons trains brought down two
more so that the figures are ten ahead
of last year, and as the animals usual
ly continue to be brought down 70
several days after the season closes
it is probable that this number will be
increased considerably.
No unusually large moose have fig
ured in the shipments. this year, nor
have there been any antlers worthy of
note. 1t has been said that moose seem
to be on the increase in the State. but
the testimony of the hunters who have
been in the woods, this fall, does not
cOrrObOratc this. at least in the sense
in which it is meant. Many moose have
been seen. but if the reports of the
hunters are to be believed, and there
seems to be no reason why they should
not. eight out Of every 10 moose seen
have been either cows or bulls toe
young to clear the law. There is nc
doubt that there are a great many cow
moose in Maine, but they are barren
and they cannot be hunted. The big
bulls are growing undeniably scarcer
and at a rate which will probably bring
about some protective legislation in
their behalf-Bangor Commercial.

Have Clear Field in the
Cuban Election
Which Proves to Be Very Quiet
and the Vote Very Light.
Only Liberals to Have Seats In The New
Congress Are HoIdovers.

Havana, Dec. 1.-The political aSita-
ton which began six months ago with
the national convention of the Liberal
party and which has dwindled since the
withdrawal of General Jose MIGUEL
Gomez, the Presidential candidate
named by the convention, ended, today,
i'll an election that was 50 quiet and I'M
interesting as to cause scarcely rip
pie OF excitement. The vote cast was
very light, this being due to the lack
of interest in the wholly one-sided cleo
ton and the heavy rains of Thursday
night and today.
The Withdrawal of the Liberals from
all nominations as d protest against al
legged inlustices by the government and
the people in conducting the primaries,
left clear field for the Moderates, and
every Moderate nominee was elected
from President Palma to the provincial
councillors.
The only Liberals who will have seats
in the new Congress, which opens in
April will be the followers from the
Ole Congress and consequently only a
third of the Senate and a fifth of the
House will be composed of members of
tnat party.
The Senate will have II Moderates.
one Liberal Nationalist. or Nunez fol-
lower, five Liberals. and four so-calle6

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminertIy safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal ard the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
anti-septics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozengcs to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
ana bowels, and to clear the complex
ION and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver is great
" benefited by the daily use of them:
.ne! cost but twenty-five cents a box
d' drus stores. and although in some
Sa patent preparation, yet I be-
sc ssse get more and better charcoal in
s.uart's Charcoal Lozenges than in ann
VI me ordinary charcoal tablets"

THE forward crew made a spectacular
escape. The only rope available was the
lead line, which was cut in two equal
pieces for each member One at n time
each tied his piece to one of the stanch-
ions of the fence. The action of the
waves swayed the boat back and forth
against the ledge and as it struck the
rocks the man on the line would drop on
this treacherous footing and scramble up
the bank. Captain Wright was the last
to leave. Capt. Balfour escaped from the

and his mate climbed an overhanging
tree.
They got line from the Lafayette S

means. The embankment was very high
and thicllly covered with ice. Some of the
men worked their way hand over hand up
this rope. 1t was here the fireman, Pat

were hauled over the line
The Manila was not injured to a great
extent and after daylight both crews
found shelter aboard her.

To Fight If Question at
Issue With Powers
Is Reduced to Bulgaria, Greece
or Roumania-- He is Busy
At Present During the FestivaIs---He May
Later Talk Business.

Constantinople, Wednesday, Nov. 90
-(Delayed in transmissiOn.-Spea
to The Associated Press, today, u
prominent diplomat said:
THE people of the United States,
even the people of Europe, do not real
ize the seriousness of the present sit
uation. The tension between the Sultan
and the powers is growing daily and
the general feeling of uneasilieSS is in
creasinS, though there is probably no
reason for anxiety SO far as the safety
of foreigners is concerned, especially
in the capital.
The powers could not have chosen
a worse time than the present for their
ultimatum. They might as well send
an ultimatum to the Pope during Holy
Week as to expect the Sultan to do
anything in the last week of the fes-
tival of Ramazan or during the festi-
val of Bairanl.
THE Sultan and his ministers are
this week. engaged daily from 8 o'clock
in the afternoon in listening to fanat-
zeal discourses by the mullahS Cor
priests, who dwell on the past great
ness Of the cal;phs in a manner which
undoubtedly impresses their audience
with the irnpossibility, certainly with
the undesira bility, of yielding to the
powers.
"These performances will soon be
over, however, when matters will prob
ably assume more sane and normal
cause; but there is no doubt in my
mind that the Sultan will need. on this
occasion, much squeezing. He may be
content enough to see certain islands
in the possession of the powers rather
than see his hold on the last of his Eu-
ropean possessions weakened.
This feeling. naturally. is shared to
certain extent by the higher army au-
thorities, who would be very much dis
inclined TO see the Turkish territory
coded, or any thing equivalent to such
cession. without striking a blow"

well-equipped army, Turkeys great nu-
merical superiority would count for
much.

on board of her. The Austrian, who did
not give his name was the only person
on deck.
A high running sea hurled the barge
upon her beam ends. pulling her up SO
suddenly and straining the hawsers so
much that they were broken off at the
bow Of the Delawanna. The barge new
er recovered from the powerful blow
which the sea had given her. Her

when the barge went over the water

lily laden craft was unable to stand the
Increased weight and foundered imme-
diately. The Austrian had time to Send
but a word of warning down the COM
panion way and then jumped over
board before the barge disappeared.
For a while it seemed as if the sue
ton caused by the sinking barge would
engulf the seaman also, but by SWIRL
ming to a part of one of the small
boats Of the barge which had been
knocked overheard, he was able to
keep above water. 1t is believed that
the captain and his wife and the engi-
neer and cook had no opportunity to
reach the deck before the Delawanna
sunk
The Delawanna was owned by the
Delaware, Lackawanna Il western
Railroad and was built only a rev
months ago in New York City. The cost
was $4,000. She was 156 feet in length,

in South Boston, but had made their
home upon the barge since she was in

who was drowned was Peter johnson
