scales, upon which cars are weighed.
Members OF the convention said that
mauy OF these scales were inaccurate,
as frequently giving short weight rs
over weight. Amusement was caused
by the experience OF big western
railroad. The scale used by the rail-
road to fix the weight OF ears
when empty was in bad order and add
ed 7 900 pounds to the weight OF each
car. The result was that on every car
load the railroad lost the freight
charges on 1000 pounds OF freight.

Madrid. Nov. 1.-THE new project
OF obligatory military service now IN
der discussion in the Senate threatens
further to complicatc the relations be-
tween the Spanish government and the
vatican, as it does not exempt either
the secular or the monastic clergy.
The bishop OF Madrid, yoicing the
clerical protest which characterizes the
bill as the most anti-cIerical feature OF
the ministerial programme, declared
today, that it violated the canonical
law authorizing ecclesiastical immunity
and was especially offensive in that it
would deplete the ranks OF the clergy.
The measure also arouses q storm OF
protest in a section OF the press on the
ground that instead OF abolishing the
abuses OF the old regime under which
substitutes could be purchased, which
was one OF the causes OF the rising in
Catalonia last year, it offers a system
whereby recruits may be discharged
after several months service by the pay
ment OF an indemnity, thus continuing
the discrimination in favor OF those pos
sessing money.

Stuart and former Governor Montague
met on the street, and while they were

nor. "
No charges we're made by Mr.. Stuart
Of fraudulent proceedings in the Ninth
district, and he had nothing TO say
against his opponent, The democrats
have not as yet given up hope in the
Ninth. Mr.. Stuart's friends say that the
great fight he putup in the campaign
and election has paved the way to certain
victory in the next guberDatorial con-
test, and there is but small doubt that
he will be the next governor Of Vir-
pinia.

King georges Innovation.

London, Nov. 1.-THE king AMI
queen hope to be crowned at Delhi as
emperor and empress of India on Jan
uary l, 1912. The announcement OF
this epoch making event has come as a
great surprise, as there is no precedent
for such a function. Queen Victoria,
who was proclaimed Empress Of India
in 1877, never at any time contemplated
holding a coronation durbar. King
Edward visited India when he was
Prince Of Wales, but adhered strictly
to the rules of royal etiquette laid down
by his mother, and never saw any OF
his colonial dominions after Ire came
to the throne.
King George is known to be an ardent
imperialist, resolved upon strengthen
ing the bonds Of empire, and he has
thus early in his career shown that he
is not inclined to follow blindly in the
steps of his predecessors.
His message read at the opening OF
Parliament in South Africa seemed to
foreshadow a visit to that country at
some future date, and there can be lit
tie doubt that the presence OF himself
and hi, queen in India will help to de-
stroy the germs OF disaffection growing
among the teeming millions Of Oriental
subjects

The Prices Of Meat.

Chicago. NOV. l7.-"All this talk OF
reduced prices for meats has no foun-
dation, in fact. The big packers,
ALARMED by impending federal prosecu-
tons. are trying to curry favor with
the public and to make the retailer the
goat in the whole affair"
This is the explanation here today OF
the United Master Butchers OF Chicago
Of the interviews recently given out by
j. Ogden Armour and other beef
barons" in which the assertion wa
made that meat prices were on the to
boggan and that the consumer would
find it cheaper to eat portarhouse steak
than to go hungry.
IF we can be assured by the pack
ers, =" said the Master Butchers assem-
bled in regular meeting, not in news
paper Interviews, but by signed con-
tracts that they will reduce the price
OF meats to'a certain amount and keep
them reduced for, say three months,
we will be glad to make corresponding
reductions TO our customers.
The butchers are unanimous in say.
ing that meat prices are appreciably
lower than at this time last year, but

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. Il

Dispatches from London say the
personal efforts on the part Of King
George to effect settlement in tie
crisis now threatening the present sys-
TEN Of English government have failed.
Instead. the House OF Lords is today
facing an utimatum from the liberals
that before November % they must
consent to pass the bill limiting their
power of veto, or the issue will be
forced before the people in a general
election. This development is the re-
salt today OF King Georges hasty visit
to London yesterday and his summon
ing of the priyy council. The king
deems the present crisis threatening to
the entire system Of English govern
ment. He therefore came TO London
with the hopes Of effecting compro-
mise between the liberals and the con-
seryatives. This was thoroughly dis
cussed both at the meetings OF the
priyy council and the cabinet and still
later when the king received Premier
Asquith for a personal consultation.
Asouith. however, refuses to consider
for an instant the question OF a com
D-omise. ed has made known the ulti-
matum to the House Of Lords. The
result was keen disappointment to
the King. Nevertheless, the declara-
tion HAT King George considers the
crisis the most serious with which Eng
land has been confronted in a century,
has resulted in hasty awakening OF
the Lords. 1t is entirely possible now
that they will give up at least some Of
their present rights Voluntarily IN an
effort to save the government. Lord
Iansdowne, leader of the conservatives,
declares that the upper House stood
ready TO do its share toward eftectlng re-
forms, and would concede the abolition
Of the hereditary principle aud a fuller
representation OF certain elements in
the House. These tardy promises by
the Lords, however, are looked upon
with suspicion by the liberals and the
latter assert that they will still enforce
the terms of their ultmatum.
