MEAT PACKERS IN SESSION.
Representatives of Twenty-Five States
Adopted Important Resolution.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The executive COM
mittee of the American Meat Packers AS
ISOLATION, whose membership embraces 2T5
large and small packers in Twenty-Five
states, met here today and unanimously
adopted resolution asking all inspected
slaughtering establishments to buy cows
subject to post-mortem inspection by
the United States government. The request
was made that immediate effect be given
the resolution.
Secretary George L. Mccarthy of the as
ISOLATION said:
The diseased cows to which we object
fome from filthy farms. and 1t naturally
follows that the dairy herds from which
most Of them come are diseased. The dam
ger to the public by consuming milk and
other dairy products from tubercular cows
and cows suffering from other diseases
would be appalling if it We're generally
known. The farmers who are responsible
for this condition of affairs have no incen-
tive to keep their farms clean and their
herds free from disease so long as they are
paid full value for diseased animals sent
TO market for slaughter, but when cattle
are bought subject to inspection after
death every farmer who has been criminally
negligent will Immediately clean up his
place and take measures to keep disease
out of his herd

"WFEDING OUT, OFFICERS.
twenty-five Vacancies in the Navy
Must Be Created.

Rear Admiral Evans will preside tomor-
at the Navy Department at a meeting
of naval officers of high grade, appointed
for the purpose of wedding out suf-
ticient number of officers to meet the
needs of the naval personnel act and pre-
vent stagnation in promotion. Naturally
there is great anxiety among number of
officers as to the outcome of the meeting
of this board, though the results will not be
announced before July J. when the va
canCies must be made.
Altogether the act requires this year that
twenty-five vacancies be created. The
board is relieved of the dsagreeable duty
of retiring cOmpulsorly the entire number
of officers by the voluntary applications for
retirement of some of them, but in any case
five captains, four commanders, four lieu
tenant commanders and two Iieutenants
must be put out of active service by the
end of the fiscal year.

Heavy Fine Imposed.

John j. Taylor, visitor to this city, was
in front of 1873 Pennsylvania avenue north
west early yesterday morning with the side
walk and the street in front entirely to
himself. There We're some who desired to
use that particular dewalk but they
yielded it up to Taylor. What Taylor did
to get this open space, it is alleged was
to pull a razor out of his pocket, mutter
a few things about cutting to kll'' and
flourish the weapon.
Policeman Boswell of the sixth precinct
learned of the matter, and took Taylor
into custody. He found the razor in his
prisoners pocket. Taylor was charged in
the Police Court this morning with carry
ing concealed weapon, and Judge KIM
ball ordered him to pay 500 fine or serve
six months on the farm.

AGREEMENT WITH GERMANY.
Awaiting Signature Of the Officials in
Berlin

Official notice of the signing of the Ger
man tariff agreement has not yet been re-
ceived by the State Department from Ber-
lin, and therefore, a delay has occurred
in the PRONUNCIATION of the proclamation
issued by President Roosevelt putting the
agreement into operation. Advices of an
unofficial character reached the State De-
partment, and acting these the procla-
nation was prepared and signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt before his departure for
Indianapolis. 1t Is not effective, however,
without the counter signature of the Sec
rotary of State, who has decided to wait for
official notification from Berlin, which has
been expected momentarily.
