SCANDAL BREWING
Campaign Against Lord ChaFiss Beresford Has Reached Point
 Where Government MsyAcl.

1 The campaign now being waged by i the London newspapers against Ad- miral Lord Beresford has reached 8 1 point where it seems inevitable that the government must interfere in some way to abate what is becoming
 public scandal. It is difficult to ar-
 rive at the true facts in the case. but ever since the notorious signal inci- dent on November 2, 1907, strained
 relations have existed between Lord Beresford and Rear-Admiral Sir Per cy Scott. Lord Beresford also has declined to continue his friendship with Sir John Fisher, first lord of the admiralty on account of his disagree
 ment with the admiralty policy. This feeling has been so open that Lord
 Beresford at one of the kings levees
 held recently deliberately ''cut" Sir
 John in the presence of many naval
 and military officers.
 Several of the influential London
 newspapers openly clamor for the res-
 ignation or the removal of Lord
 Beresford from the command of the
 Channel fleet, on the ground that he
 cannot agree either with his super
 iors or with his interiors, and that
 naval dissensions of such a nature are national danger. Other papers contend that Lord Beresford is tho victim of an unfair press campaignl The Standard this morning asserted that Lord Beresford signalled to Sit Percy Scott that he was quite right in disobeying signal which the adk miral had sent up during the recenk maneuyers of the Channel feet for ai evolution which. if obeyed, woult have brought the cruisers Argyll and Good Hope into collision, and this in- cident, says the Standard, is helping toward the restoration of friendly re- lations between the two officers The | matter will be raised in parliament ! to-day.

MEAT GOES UP A CENT.
A Similar Raise Is Expected Every
 Week Now.


 New Haven, July S.-Another Jump of l cent pound was made in the wholesale price of beef recently, and another turn thus put in tho screw under which the retailer meat men of the city are wincing. This Is but another step in the gradual mountain climb which the price of beeef started on back in the winter. Last week the wholesale price went up cent and this week it takes one more to buy each pound. The re- tallers believe that the rises are to take place regularly each week for some time to come.
 A prominent retail meat dealer re- gently stated that the burden of the raise will fall almost entirely on the retailer at present as the price of meat has been raised at retail to such a level, forced by the wholesale rise; that sales will practically stop if any more is added. Many of the dealers are already suffering a great diminution of their sales on this az count and even those with the trade among the wealthier classes fear that the rise which they should make to enable them to get a profit out of the new price would compel them to suspend their trade entirely. The same dealer stated that while 35 cents is the price which is being asked in this city for porterhouse steak the came quality of steak is selling at 40 cents in Boston.

CITY RINGS SUIT.
McGovern Cd struction Co Did Not
 Keen Agreement

The city of Waterbury has insti- tuted proceedings against the Nation al Surety Co of New York, as surety for the McGovern Construction Co, to recover $16,000. In 1905 the city awarded to the McGovern Co a con tract to build trunk sewer in the south part of the city. The company found itself unable to do the work and evidently abandoned 1t. This course obliged the city to advertise again for bids to finish the job and after a time a contractor was found. But meantime, the city itself was compelled to proceed with the work until a contractor was found who was Willing to take it up. The city in it's complaint sets forth that the work cost it $16,000 over and above what It would have cost had the McGoy- ern construction company kept the contract. The National Surety Co as surety for the company Is responsi- Die to the city for its loss in the mat ter.

MEXICAN P0LITENESS.
In the State of Miehoaean chivalry Is
 Compulsory.

In the State of Miehoaean chivalry Is
 Compulsory.
 "If any man opines that the days of chivalry and the true knight errant spirit have gone forever. let him start forthwith on far southward journey, not halt his steps until he brings up in the town of Morelia, which is the capital of the Mexican state of Mlchoacan,' remarked a travelling man.
 Having arrived in Morelia, he will at once sec that the chlyalrous spirit still survives. I was down there not long ago, and the gallantry of the men and their extreme readiness to extend courtesies to the fair sex pleased and surprised me. When I noticed the alacrity with which the native males jumped up on the crowded street car to offer their seats to the first senorita that entered, I thought to myself how much more gentemanly are these Mexicans than many of my own coun- trymen. They do not wait to see if some other man Is going to get up. but each tries to beat the other in cour- teously proffering his seat to the lady.
 q spoke about tho matter to the pro- prietor of the hotel and immediately be began to laugh.
 "'You must understand. senor,' said the innkeeper. that the governor of our state issued decree tlnt If any man keep his seat in a street car, thereby compelling woman to stand. he is liable to arrest and n fine. The police have been instructed to execute this order severely, and I think this has much to do with the prompt polite ness of which you speak. since none of our population wishes to become in- volved with the police and to be pub licly branded as lacking in gentillty.'" -Baitimore American
