AS TO TIMED MEATS

can Products.
TESTIMONY FROM CHICAGO
Report Made by the British Consul
General.
THE REMAINS OF PocAHoNTAs
Active Inquiry Recently Concerning
Their Observation-Disclosures Fur
nished to Steamships.
BY WILLIAM Z CrRTIS.


SDecial Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.
LONDON, June ID. 1906.
What are called the timed meat dis
closures in Chicago have caused a tremen-
duous agitation here in London because, as
Mr.. Lloyd George, president of the board
of trade, told the house of commons the
other day, the total imports of canned
meat game and fish from the United States
into the United Kingdom last year were
valued at f2062 900, a little more than So
100000. Mr.. George also stated that the
board of trade, which in England is a gov
eminent institution similar to our Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor and is repre-
sented in the cabinet was taking steps to
protect British consumers" The secretary
of war and the secretary of the navy both
have informed the house and the public
that neither branch of the service has con
tracts pending for American canned meats.
And Mr. John Burns, representing the home
office, announced that steps would be taken
toward a thorough investigation that
would satisfy the government and the peo-
pie of the United Kingdom as to the whole
someness of American timed meats. The
British consul general in Chicago recently
made quite an elaborate report on this sub
ject and testified in a most emphatic man
ner to the cleanliness. purity and nutrition
and other Chicago companies.
The injury done to American trade, not
only in meat, but In all other forms of
merchandise, by the agitation has been
serious and the figures of exports to Great
Britain and other European countries dur
ing the next three months will show a
large falling off. Even the cattle trade is
affected. Mr.. st. Clair of West Virginia
told me last night that the market for
fat beef cattle from America is dead fat;
that nobody is buying. The larger part
of the beef consumed in England and
Wales comes from the United States, al
though it is sold as English beef. The
distinction lies in the place where it is
slaughtered. Every steer that is killed on
English soil is sold as English beef, al
though it may not have been in the coun-
try more than twenty-four or thirty six
hours. Dressed beef which is imported
from the United States and also from the
Argentine Republic in enormous quantities
in refrigerator ships, is sold as American
beef, and all imported carcasses of NUT
ton whether they come from Australia,
the Argentine Republic or Canada, are sold
as Canadian mutton"
1t is not probable that the agitation will
last long or that the American trade in
food products will suffer permanently. The
British people have short memories and
they need our beef as well as our wheat.
They have already forgotten the scandal
Gus exposures concerning the food supply
furnished to the soldiers in South Africa
during the war, although they were Incl
dentally alluded to In the house of COM
mons the other day.

dispersed a free fight occurred Dowie

that the overseers of the Voliva faction
were thieves and robbers. At once q
number OF these about the house were
on their feet shouting: NO, no! YOU
are the robber! Why don't you paw
your debts?"
The disturbance became so violent
that Zion guard was sent to restore
order. The guard took hold of an old
gray-headed man who was Ioudest In
his demonstrations for Dowie to paw
his obligations and this was a signal
for free fight. A dozen men seized
the guard and were about to drag him
down the aisle when Gladstone Dowfe

platform and called upon the audience
