Berlin. July 2O-The price of meat has
risen in Germany from 20 to % per cent
during the last six months. so that now
prices are higher by 80 to 30 per cent than
In the neighboring continental states The
prices outside of Germany usually are
10 to Is per cent lower. Popular appeals
directed by the organized meat dealers are
being made to the government both here
and in the provinces to raise a prohibition
against the importation of live cattle. Six
public meetings in this connection were
held at Cologne last night. The butchers
association of Berlin is planning a num-
Der of agitation assemblages. The prices
of meat supplied by the retailers today
allowing for differences in weights and
money, were:

The agitation for cheaper meat by abol-
shing the exclusion laws, recuTs at inter-
walls. These laws are based as In the
case of American canned meats, on sanl-
tary grounds But the contention Is con-
stantly advanced that the sanitary reg
ulations are made unnecessarily severe, In
order to prohibit cattle and meat importa-
tions in the interest of the German farm
ers. The Deutsehe Tages-Zeitung, the
principal agrarian organ, has leading ar
ticle, reafflrming that Germany can ana
ought to raise all the cattle she consumes,
and that In fact the rise in the price OF
meat is due to the butchers associa-
tions; to fine meat shops and to Increased
rents. The question for the moment en-
cages general public attention.

Chtatham Sums Up Situation
With District Attorneys
WILSON CAUSES SURPRISE
His Action Is interpreted as RefIee-
tion Upon Mr.. Hyde-Government
Printing Office to Be In
vestiaated Next.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, July 20.-(Special )-District
Attorney Beach, who returned this morn
ing from a three days trip to New York
and Boston, Acting Attorney General
Hoyt and Richard Cheatham of the
Southern Cotton Ginners' association held
conference today on the progress so
far made in the investigation of the
cotton leak scandal.
None of the parties to the conference
will discuss the case, but there is every
reason to believe that enough has al
ready been developed to lead to the re-
tirement of at least two more employees
of the department of agriculture. How
far they are criminally involved cannot
at this time be learned The government
is still on this feature of the case and 1t
may be some days before the district
attorney concludes his investigation.
There seems no doubt that the case
against Holmes is becoming stronger
daily, and It Will not be surprising II
conspiracy in the department to give out
the cotton reports is clearly shown by
the district attorney.
Wilson's Move Causes Surprise.
Secretary Wilson's announcement that
he has decided to assume a Poo-Bah role
and act as chief statis;ician, In addition
to his many other duties, comes in the
nature of a surprise. The secretary ls
evidently anxious to keep the advance
figures In the hands Of as few employees
as possible. Some think the decision not
to continue the office is a reflection by
the secretary on the former statistieian,
Mr. Hyde.
Look Into Printing Office.
| 1t is now reported that steps Will be
taken to secure an inquiry into sdyff k44<
lures of the supply purchasing metl,Sds
| of the government printing office, in
volving general dealings in printing ma
| chinery.
There have been rumors and ntima-
! tions that such an investigation would
prove interesting. While II is not known
that the keep commission has any pres
ent plans for taking up the matter, It
continues to be talked about as one of
the things certain to demand considera-
tion before long. either at the hands of
the keep congressional committee. II
Is alleged that one small supply concern
in New York enjoys most of the printing
office trade In machinery, running up
into immense figures each year, and that
thfs condition has prevailed for number
of years.
That the government printing office
costs about two million more to run than
1t should has long been believed here.

dence of Prince Dolgorulxoff The first

enough and 1t was referred to a COM
mittee to be re-drafted. Later an amend
ed resolution was presented and pass
ed. 1t likewise protests against the con-
stant violation of the private and social
rights OF Russian citizens by administra-
tive officialdom, and calls upon local Of
flcials to protect the sufferers from the
present state of affairs, and to assist in
preserving the people from illegal and

Revolutionary Speech Made.
M. Petrunkevitch. president of the
Moscow Agricultural society, declared
that all hope regarding the government s
scheme which had hitherto been nour-
ished, had proven vain. Everything was
going on the same way, and IL was diff
| flcult to say whether the zemstvo Is real
ly nteded to work in the national in
terest II was obvious, he said, that the
bar separating the Emperor and the peo-
pie was too strong, and that they could
not count on reform from above They
had appealed to the Emperor and they
should now appeal to the people. Prince
Postlxoyski said that the speech of M
Petrunkevitch was direct incitement TO
revolution and left the hall.
Prince Dogorukoff repudated Prince
RostkoyslSi.s construction of M. Petrunk-
evitch's speech, which he said only echoed
what had been set forth In the memoran-
dun presented by the marshals of the
nobility to the emperor.
