Managua. Nicaragua. Jan. 23.-The ad-

strong. engaged the government outposts

of Acoyapa.
The government forces. 1850 strong, un-

lutiopists replied at long range with rifle
fire. They retired after forty-five minutes.
finding themselves badly outnumbered
and lacking artillery.
There were no casualties on the govern
ment side.
The arrest of Conservatives alleged to be
involved in a movement against Madriz
still continues. The widest rumors cur
rent. One reports the capture of the
steamer Victoria by the revolutionists on
Lake Nicaragua. Another has it that Gen.
eral Vasquez has gone over TO the revo-
1utionsts, but this is declared by the gov
ernment to be absurd.
The authorities said to have inter-
cepted letters sent by runners by way OF
Costa Rica in which there is evidence of
the sending of $1,000 to the revolutionists
by Granada Conservatives.
San Juan del Sur, Jan. 23.-Rear Admiral
Kimball, commander of the American
squadron, has issued notice urging all
Americans in Nicaragua to abstain from
taking part in the political controversies,
or from violation of the laws of neutrality
toward the factions in arms. He declares
that he will not extend protection to any
so-called American interest which really
has no existence in law.
Great tension prevails throughout the re-
public because of the conscription orders.
In r11aa
the recruits are allowed to proceed with
their work in the day, but they must sleep
in the barracks at night. The rising of the
Conservative party has caused surprise in
some quarters, as President Madriz was the
first to promise and accord. so far as he
was able, complete liberty. Many of the
most prominent of the Conservatives have
been imprisoned, but it is understood that
they are being we'll treated.

THE PACKERS SIDE.
j. Ogden Armour Discusses
Meat Prices.

Chicago Jan. 23.-"Beef is only about
half cent higher than it was year ago."
said J. Ogden Armour to-day. Like
many other things, it has risen during the
last few years, but this is because it's
production has not kept pace with the de-
mand.
More people are buying meat and are
buying more meat than ever before, while
stock raising has shown little if any
change. Consequently higher meat pre-
walls. Secretary Wilson in his annual re-
port described the situation accurately
when he said that the shrinkage of the
cattle range area had resulted in a greater
percentage of corn-fed beef and higher
prices.
Our published statements tell the whole
story. They show that when meat is high
the packer as well as the retailer and con-
sumer must pay more for it. The packers
do not dictate the prices"

have drafted a petition to be presented to
the state Legislature asking that tax be
imposed on all food products held in cold
storage over thirty days.
Petitions to Congress to place an export
tax on meat, in hopes that prices would be
lowered thereby. will be started here Mon
day.
Baltimore. Jan. 23.-In addition to the
garment workers, eight thousand men,
members of unions affiliated with the Fed
Grafton of Labor. have definitely pledged
themselves to abstain from meat for thirty
days. Butchers have been compelled to
drop prices two TO four cents a pound.
From Hagerstown comes the information
that the boycott is being spread by an end
less chain process. Other towns in various
parts OF the state also report the spread of
the boycott.
When the Legislature reconvenes on
Tuesday Senator Crothers, of Cecil County
will introduce a joint resolution calling
upon Congress for an immediate investiga-
tion of the high prices of foodstuffs, and,
should this disclose responsibility on the
part of any trusts. that the Attorney Gen
eral be instructed to prosecute Immediately,
and also that. in such event, all such food
stuffs be placed on the free list.
st. Louis Jan. 23.-The anti-meat cru
sade In this city suffered its first setback
this afternoon, when the Central Trades
and Labor Council. representing $4,000
union men. voted down a resolution to eat
no meat for thirty days. The resolution
was rejected on the ground that such ac-
tion would cause suffering.
The Retail Butchers Association dis
cussed the cause for high meat prices this
afternoon. A resolution was adopted de-
claring that the high prices are caused by
the demand of foreigners for veal and
young pigs, which prevents cattle and pigs
from growing UP, and results in turn in a
scarcity of cattle and hogs.
A memorial was addressed to Secretary
Wilson asking him to take immediate steps
TO cultivate the tastes of foreigners to the
meat Of full grown animals.
William Moody, of East st. Louis, presi-
dent of the National Association of Stock
Exchanges, says the high prices should be
regarded as a blessing instead of a men
ace, and that the laboring man should de-
mand more money for his labor rather than
abstain from eating meat.

SAYS AVERAGE PRICES NORMAL,
Stock Raiser Blames Demand for
Choice Cuts.
GBy Telegraph to The Tribune. I

Tby ItIegraph 10 The TrihunC.
Austin, Tex. Jan. 23.-"Ike" T. Pryor,
former president of the Texas Cattle
Raisers' Association, president of the
rans-Mississippi Congress, and who has
extensive livestock interests. said to-day:
Il do not consider the price of meat is
unusually high in view of the cost of pro-
duction and other conditions. There are
not enough choice cuts to supply those
who will take nothing else. The price of
average meat is normal
The mere boycott of this one industry
will not solve the problem. Capitalization
in the cities, abandonment of farms and
general decline in range and farming in
dustries are the pith of the whole trouble. "

The Harvard team was not quite ag-

crimson had good opportunity for a
field goal from Yale's 15-yard line.
Harvard chose to rush and lost the

Yale, by good kicking, got the ball on

Yale played a wonderful defensive
game, but could make few gains in
succession through the Harvard line.
Although the game ended quietly,
close followers of the sport gave Yale
the credit of the contest, while Har-
ward followers were disappointed.

Gregory-Times Advocate: Tuesday
evening about s o'clock Mrs. Anton
Christianson met instant death as a
result of runaway accident.
Mr. and Mrs. Christensen and two
sons were on their way home in a lum-
Der wagon. They stopped at the de-
pot to get box of express just after
the evening train had pulled out The
team being rather fractions the older
boy remained in the wagon with his
mother to watch the team while the
father and younger son went into the
depot for the box. 1t seems the box
proved too heavy for them and the
help of the older son was needed
Mrs. Christianson staid with the team
but got out of the wagon and stood
at their heads. Just as the box was
being loaded in the wagon the team
started, knocking Mrs. Christianson
down and both team and wagon pass
ed over her body. Medical aid was
at once summoned, but life had de-
parted, instant death having been pro-
nounced. The remains were taken to
the home of Mrs. Henning.
Mrs. Christianson was a woman past
middle age and moved here with her
husband early last spring from Atkin-
son. Neb.
