Rome, Nov. %. - Announcement is
made that the consistory, originally
scheduled for this month, has been
postponed owing to the situation in
Portugal.
The concordat between the holy see
and that country makes it mandatory
that the vatican create the patriarch
of Lisbon cardinal in the first con
sistory held after his appointment as
patriarch.
The pope wishes to avoid the crea.
ton Of Mgr. BellO as cardinal at the
present time, because this might be
considered as premature recognition
OF the republic of Portugal.
Arrangements are being made to
bold the consistory in February.

SAYS eRocERs IN COMBINE
Mayor Hanna Submits Report on
Prices to Des Moines Council.

Des Moines, Nov. ga formal in
luiry, involving the assistance OF the
grand jury, is necessary to ascertain
the alleged existence in Des Moines
Of q combination of merchants form
ed to hold up the prices of groceries
according to report submitted by
Mayor James r. Hanna to the city
council.
Mayor Hanna reports that state
ments made by various citizens in re
gard to exorbitant prices point to the
fact that there is such combination
in the city. He also says that he has
received affidavits from merchants
and commission men denying the
truth of the allegations.
r. o. Brennan, city solicitor, has
ruled that the power Of the city coun.
Gil is limited in making such Inquiry
and that the statutes provide that
such inquiries can be made only
through the courts.
Following is Mayor Hanna's report:
l have accumulated considerable
material, some of which charges that
there is an organization of the retail
grocers, also OF the wholesale grocers
and commission merchants. Just
what the scope and purpose of these
organizations are cannot be deter
mined without a thorough-going eX-
animation. Some of the charges as to
eXorbitant prices seems to be borne
and charges are made by persons who
ought to know pretty we'll whereof
they speak, that prices are absolutely
fixed by these combinations and that
competition is effectually met by GER
tain arrangements. On the other hand,
l have affidavits from certain mer.
chants and commission men denying
absolutely the truth of this statement.
In order to come to any definite con.
illusions, found that it would be nee.
essary to make a formal inquiry.
Haveing some question in my mind as
this, referred the matter to the city
solicitor. who reported that the pow
ers Of the council were very limited
and extended only as to an inquiry
the issuing of licenses for
peddlers, and so forth, and that the
statutes provide definitely that such
inquiries can be made only through
the courts and should be taken up
through the grand jury.
koto Finds Queer Case in Sick Cow.
Two important discoveries affecting
the tuberculin test of cattle were
made when twenty head from the
state institutions at Davenport and
Mt. Pleasant were slaughtered in the
packing house at Ottumwa. One OF
the discoveries was that of COW
which had been given the tuberculin
test three times. The first two times
she reacted to the test, but the third
time she failed to react. But DR..
Koto had suspicious of the health of
the bovine and she was slaughtered
with the discovery that she was the
worst affected with tuberculosis OF
any of the cattle slaughtered. This,
DR.. Koto believes, proves the absolute
need for the test and also the fact
that an animal can be so much tested
that it becomes immune and will fail
to respond to the test even if suffer
ing with the disease Practically ev-
cry animal which was killed had re-
spOnded to the test or was suspicious
and practically every one showed tu-
bercular alesions.

HAL7S SOAP CLUBS

RULE BY PHARMACY BOARD
Iowa State Commission Holds That
Club Idea of Selling Drugs Comes
Under the Head Of timer
ant Vending.

Des Moines, Nov. 26.-Soap clubs
and clubs similarly organized for TAX
ing orders for soap and medicines and
delivering the same, received black
eye at the hands of the state phar-
macy commission which ruled that
the business of taking orders and de-
liverng soaps and medicines under
this plan constitutes tinerant vend-
Ing within the meaning of the code
and requires a license of $780,
The ruling Of the commission as
announced and signed by Secretary
E. J. Moore, is as follows:
1T is the opinion of the pharmacy
commission that the business of TAX
ing orders and delivering medicines,
as is done by agents OF the Larkin
company and similar concerns, under
what is known as the club plan con-
stitutes itinerant vending within tho
meaning of section 1896 of the code,
relating to itinerant vendors of drugs,
etc.
"All persons so engaged are requir-
ed 10 pay the license fee of 500 per
year before commencing SUCH JUST
ness. Failure to do so renders them
liable to the penalty of the law gov
erning such cases. By the commits
sion of pharmacy, ED. J. MOORE.
Secretary
1t is generally believed that Larkin
and other concerns Of the country,
which make a specially of selling un-
der the club plan, will contest the or
der of the commission in the courts.

CHILD OF SPANISH
QUEEN BORN DEAD

Madrid, May 24-Queen Victoria
gave birth to a boy, which failed to
survive, at 4 o'clock this morning. The
unhappy outcome is attributed to a
premature accouchment which, how
ever. was otherwise natural. The body
will be buried without ceremony in the
royal pantheon Of the Escurial monas-
terry.
When told OF her loss, the mother
wept bitterly. King Alfonso is still in
London, where he attended yesterday
the funeral OF the queens uncle, the
late Kink Edward.
The past few weeks had been most
trying for her majesty. Early in the
present month the approach OF the
awaited event was noted by the royal
physicians and twice during the days
that followed. the officers of the court
were summoned under the impression
that the birth was imminent. While
this state OF doubt existed, his majesty
was obliged to go to London for the
royal obSe~VieS.
According to custom, Premier Can
alejasy Mendes bore the body to a
room adjoining the queens chamber
for the official inspection by the mem
bers OF the royal family and court
functionaries who had been "-aiting
there.
This is the first occurrence of the
kind in the Spanish royal family, al
though a child of Queen Isabella III
lived only long enough to receive the
lustral water.

|DICCERS OF PANAMA
ARE HAVING TROUBLE
Unprecedented Rainfall i,
Isthmian Region Is Retard-
ing the Work.

Washington, May 24.-The canal
diggers on the isthmus are having
trouble, principally owing to the un-
precedented rainfall which has loosen
ed the soil and interfered with engi-
neering operations. At one place about
mile north of Empire, an old canal
dug by the French, broke through the
banks into the new cut, flooding seven
steam shovels and raising the water 55
feet above sea level. 1t became neces-
sary to construct q giant flume of tim
Der to divert the water of the old canal
before operations could be resumed.
In another case what are known as
the toes of the west section Of Gatun
dam have been sliding in and washed
away the trestles, and nothwithstand-
ing the greatest efforts on the part of
the engineers, 10000 to $4,000 cubic
yards Of material disappeared almost
instantaneously into the great hole
that had been washed under the cor
ners of the dam. Power pile drivers
were set to work ct once and the gap
was closed within a week so that there
has been no serious interruption in the
work.
Great progress is being made in the
construction Of the mammoth locks at
Gatun, according to the Canal Record,
and 1877 per cent Of the concrete has
been placed.

WISE MEN UNABLE
TO LOCATE COMET

Williams Bay Wis, May 24.-Pro-
fessor f. b. Frost, in charge Of the
Yerkes observatory here. expects to
make an observation Of Halleys comet
In the west some time before night.
Although cloudy skies prevented the
making Of any positive observations
early today, Professor Frost and Pro-
fessor K. e. Barnard, the comet expert,
agree there will be no display Of the
comets tail in the east tonight. The
scientists say that the earth has
either passed through the tail while
clouds obscured the sky or that the tail
curved to such an extent as to miss the
earth entirely.
Des MONIES, Ia, May 24.-Professor
d. w. Morehouse, of the Drake univer-
sity astronomical department, declares
from observation Of the comets tail in
the east shortly after 3 o'clock this
morning that the earth is passing longi-
tudially through the tail of Halley's
comet. The tail was very faint in the
east today. indicating that the earth
is nearing the farthest extreme. Pro-
fessor Morehouse says. The backward
curve is responsible for the longiturial
passage Professor Morehouse ex-
poets to see the tail in the west this
evening

INJUNCTION AGAINST
UNION BOILERMAKERS

Lincoln, Neb., May 24.-Following the
hearing Of arguments Of the attorneys
in the Burlington railroads injunction
suit against the boilermakers union at
Havelock, Judge Munger has announced
that he would issue temporary in
junction against dozen Of the union
men upon whom the evidence appeared
to fix responsibility for recent disturb
ances occurring in the shop city be-
tween strikers and so-called "scabs."
The Judge indicated that for the
present the restraining order against
all members Of the union would remain
in force. This was granted the rail-
road company two weeks ago. There
are 103 defendants.
A number Of street fights have &C.
Cured between the strikers and strike
breakers in the last few days. This led
to the companys attorneys asking for
a temporary injunction.
Judge Munger declared from the
bench that anyone disobeying the order
would pay dearly for contempt of court.
He has not announced the names Of
those who will be enjoined.

COMET LOSES OLD TAIL
AND new ONE Is COMING

Chicago, May 24.-The theory that
Halley's comet has lost it's old tail,
which Is still floating in space In the
eastern sky, and Is now generating a
new one, was advanced by the Rev.
Daniel j. McHugh, professor of astron-
omy at De Paul university, today. The
old tail was forced away from the
comet by the force Of unusual cleo
trical repulsion caused by the sun
spots, which were so prominent
Wednesday, he thinks.
1T is my opinion" said Professor
McHugh, that the comet lost it's tail
some time Wednesday night. There are
records of it's having done the same
thing in 1885. and 1t Is also believed
that it's tail was lost In March of this
year. I believe that there Is not the
slightest chance Of the earth's coming
in contact with the tail on this visit"

BULLOCK WEARING
I. fine RAIMENT IN
ENGLISH CAPITAL
Honors Accorded Sovereigns
Are Likewise Extended to
u. S. Ambassador.

London. May 24-Four British SOL
diers, scarlet coated, topped with bear
skin busbys, guarded Theodore Roose-
Welt in Dorchester House day and night
before Ambassador Reds residence
until King Edward rested with his
fathers. These honorary guards were
sent because Colonel Roosevelt was
special ambassador to the royal obse-
quies
Before the guards arrived, and so be-
ing in no danger of challenge, Seth
Bullock went to Dorchester House in
response to Colonel Roosevelts invita-
ton to luncheon. The South Dakota
marshars other intimate friends might
not have recognized him, so resplen-
dent was he in a shiny silk hat, morn
ing coat, boiled" shirt, carefully
creased trousers and patent leather
shoes.
Meets Titled Persons.
He met at luncheon Dick" Cunning
hame, the African hunter, who person
ally conducted Colonel Roosevelts ex-
petition through the Jungle; Lord Gro
mer, who became famous as the British
agent in Egypt; the Marquis Of Lans-
downe, and other guests. All were de-
lighted by Seth Bullock's tales Of the
wild west, in which Colonel Roosevelt
was not the least prominent figure:
1t was revealed during the luncheon
that Colonel Roosevelt had disobeyed
his physicians order to keep indoors
and as quiet as possible. Colonel
Roosevelt had taken Seth Bullock and
Cunninghame, Of whom each vows the
other is a good fellow, to the shop of
Rowland Ward, taxidermist, who is
mounting some Of the faunal speci-
mems shot in Africa. The companiona-
BILE trio went also to a gunsmith's,
where, while inspecting firearms, they
recouunted their adventures afield.
Writer'S Impression Of Hunter.
Colonel Roosevelt's demeanor
strangely impresses those who do not
know him. For example, an English
newspaper man who watched Colonel
Roosevelt yesterday, wrote:
"Mr. Roosevelt's gait is a tumble of
short sharp steps, his feet are slight
ly Of the spread-eagle kind; his hands
are either on his hips or resting stiffly
by his side. Mr.. Roosevelt's style of
conversation is staccato splutter of
short sentences"
