 CHAPTERS.
A cting Secretary Is-
 sues Warrants.
Contractor and Inspector of Supplies in the Quarter Masters Department to be Criminally Prosecuted.

Washington, Sept. The criminal prosecution of Morris Busch, the con tractor and Robert Charlton, inspec- tor, was ordered to-day by Acting Secretary of War Oliver This action IS contained i'll direction to Judge Advocate General Davis to prepare the necessary papers for this prosecu- tlon and submit them to the depart ment of justice. Busch holds con tract with the quartermasters depart ment Of the army to furnish fur caps and gauDtlets to be delivered at the Schuylkill arsenal, Philadelphia. The order for prosecution is taken on the strength of a report recently made by Major F. $. Strong, of the artillery corps, acting inspector general, in which it is shown that a conspiracy to defraud the government exists be- tween Busch and Charlton.
 Besides the criminal prosecution of Busch and Charlton, Secretary Oliver directs that Busch shall be compelled to complete his contract with the gov ernment upon penalty of a civil suit for damages. He also stipulates that if any inferior articles are furnished the government by contractor Edwin H. Taggart, under his contract of October s, 1902, he shall be required to replace the inferior goods under penalty of a civil suit for the recovery of the money paid.
 The report of Major Strong regard ing conditions in the Schuyll1ill arsen- al has led to a suggestion from the inspector generals department which has been made an order by Secretary Oliver for an immediate investigation of the important depots containing army supplies. These are located at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, lief fersonville, Ind, San Francisco, Sc. attle and other places.
 The conspiracy to defraud the gov. ernment of which the department al leges the contractor and inspector are | guilty, consists in the delivery and acceptance of goods of quality infer for to that required by the contract | Hereafter a commissioned officer will be assigned to duty as chief in spector in the arsenal.

FATAL EFFORT.
Father Saves His Wife But Perishes With His
 Children.

New York, Sept S.--While trying to save his two children, son and q daughter, both under 10 years of age, from a fire ill crowded tenement building in East Seventy first street early to-day, Antonio Coletto and both children were suffocated by smoke. The body of the father was found ly- ing in the hallway of the fifth floor with the bodies of the children clasped in his arms, where they had fallen in an effort to reach the window where they might have attracted the atten- tion of the firemen who were taking other imperilled persons down their sealing ladders. Coletto had already helped to carry his invalid wife to the roof, whence she escaped to an adjoin- ing building.
 There were twenty-four Italian fam flies including 120 persons in the build ing and all of them were asleep when the fire began in the basement and spreading to the hallway of the first floor, cut off all escape from the floors above. A policeman awoke the sleep ing tenants, who then swarmed down the fire escapes.
 Michael Anglin, his wife Mary and daughter Nora were badly burned in hurried flight from their rooms on the upper floor to the roof. In their haste the Anglin family left three of their children in their rooms and the firemen who went up on scaling lad ders found the two boys and one little girl penned in smoke.illed room from which they were unable to reach the fire escape. They were passed down the sealing ladders.
 The fire was quickly extinguished, with damage of about $1O.OO0.

 Have Difficult Time.

New York, Sept S.-Under guard of policemen and occasionally showered with sticks and stones, the United States mail delivery wagons. whose op- eration in New York's busiest centers is threatened by 300 striking drivers, carried the mails without delay to-day. During last night four drivers were hurt on wagons passing through east side streets, which were showered with missiles from upper floors of ten ement houses. Each wagon today had a uniformed policeman riding with the driver.
 Upon receipt of information from Jersey City and HobOken that attacks were being planned in those cities upon New York mail wagons, United States Marshal Henkel communicated with the chiefs of police in both places. who said that they would have special de- tails of policemen to meet the wagons from New York at the ferries and, to escort them through the streets. United States secret service agents made the report of threatening condi- tions in the New Jersey cities.

Tokio, Sept [, 6 q. m.-Last nights disorders were not particularly serl- ous. Thirteen cars and one railway kiosk were destroyed. Thirty persons were wounded during the clashes with the police and many others were slight ly wounded by stones in the crushes of the crowds The disturbances In the Kanda district of the city proved not to be serious. The crowd first threatened to burn the Russian cathe- dral. but sergeant of the guard cley- erly prevailed upon them to desist by telling the crowd that if the cathedral were destroyed he and the guard would commit suicide. The crowd agreed not to touch the cathedral. There was considerable disorder and noise in the district, but there was no destruction of property and no serious clashes between them and the police. Demonstrations against the metropoli- tan police headquarters continued un- ltil a late hour. Crowds swarmed around the jail and hooted and threat ened.
 The newspapers generally assail the police authorities for withdrawing street patrols and leaving the city un- protected. Soldiers are proving to be more effective than the police in hand ling the crowds. The soldiers are pop ular and the crowds generally obey their orders. Accompanying the or dinance declaring martial law is an urgency ordinance increasing restric- tions on the press and giving author lty for the suspension of papers guilty of increasing the excitement and other breaches of order. Under this ordin- ance the government has suspended the publication of the Miyako, the Yu- rozu and the Niroku.
 The Tokio municipality has passed a resolution denouncing the terms and favoring the abandonment of the peace treaty.
 The municipality had planned a mass meeting at Hibaya park to-day, but on account of the danger of dis order voluntarily cancelled the meet ing.

STATE OF SIEGE.
German Authorities Prepared to.
 Fight Dread Cholera.

Berlin, Sept S-A sort of sanitary state of siege exists in the district that now extends from the river Oder northwestward to the Russian border. about 250 miles. and from Danzig to Grodzisko, south of Posen. about 1JO miles. But it is a state of siege which all the inhabitants are auxiliaries of the medical authorities and the only enemy is the terrifying cholera bacil- lus.
 Admonitlons of the doctors are rein forced by red placarls and police and newspaper cautions and sanitary leaflets. There is no lack of advice and observance of it too.
 Here in Berlin the medical council of war sits at noon each day in the ministry of education, worship and health. taking fresh measures to meet the situation. The commander-in-chief of this board in the field Is Dr Adolf kafka. head of the bureau of infee- tious diseases whose headquarters in the infected area Is constantly being changed His sanitary motor boats patrol every stream. Dr Kafka's special stan of about 200 persons Is being constantly increased. The an- nOuncement of this vigilance has had a decidedly reassuring effect on those who live within and without the af- fected area.

CATTLE RECEIPTS
LAST WEEK OF SEASON

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 14.-Cattle
receipts here last week were the lar
gest of the season, being $500, in
GLIDING 10000 calves. The market
weakened from day to day and the
total loss for the week was from 10
to 25c on killing cattle. Packers
bought freely every day, the local
concerns purchasing 10000 cattle
during the week, which is also a rec
ord for them. There was a good de-
mand for stockers and feeders the
first of the week, but buyers were
scarce after Tuesday, and the market
on this class fattened out from %
to 40 cents by the end of the week.
1t is just a little early for feeders to
have all their arrangements for feed
ing completed, although the corn crop
in Illinois. Kansas and Missouri is
made, and it is practically sure in
Iowa and Nebraska. On the other
hand, range stuff is moving two weeks
earlier than a year ago, so that Just
at this time stockers and feeders are
suffering both from small demand and
~over-supply. For this reason a good
many believe the market will be bet
ter a little later. Grass COWS closed
the week selling at 1925 to $3.50:
Gamers, $1.75 to sails; stockers and
feeders, $2.50@4; fair to good grass
steers, $3.25@3.75; veals. $3.50
@5.25; bulls, s2.1562.5O. The cattle
supply today is $4,000 head. The mar
is steady to a shade lower on all
kinds.
The sheep and lamb market went
up another notch last week, and is
also higher today. There was a good
assortments Of westerns in the 5000
received today, including 2,400
good to choice Utah lambs, and every
thing here sold at the highest point
reached since the recent break. Re-
ceipts have been small lately, not
more than half enough for the de-
mand. Utah lambs today weighing GO
pounds, sold at 1918; Arizona ewes,
$3.50; S7-pound Arizona wethers, So:
76-pound yearling Arizona ewes, IS:
77-pound Arizona yearling wethers.
$3.50. Some mixed Utah wethers and
