scales, upon which cars are weighed.
Members of the convention said that
mauy OF these scales we're inaccurate,
rs 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 cars
when empty vas in bad order and add
ed 1000 pounds 10 the weight OF each
car. The result was that on every car
loud the railroad lost the freight
charges on 1000 pounds Of freight.
A committee report asking Congress

Il consider the increase OF ZIG per
cent in the population of San Francisco
to be the most remarkable gain made
by any city under such adverse condi-
TONS" declared acting Director Vilcs,
of tho Census Bureau this afternoon.
Among census officials it was said
generally that the gain OF "A, 1870 over
the population OF 1900 by San Francis
co was the feature OF the present census
80 far. It was pointed out that San
Francisco was practically wiped off the
map by the great fire of 1906, yet with
in four years recovered her former
population OF 342,7S and added the
increase, making the present total
416, 912.

The Prices of Meat.

Chicago, Nov. IAN this talk OF
reduced prices for meats has no foun-
dation, in fact. The big packers,
alarmed 10y impending federal prosecu,
tons. are trying to curry favor with
the public and to make tho 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 portarh0use steak
than to go hungry.
IF we can be assured by the pack
ers, said the Master Butchers assem-
bled in regular meeting, mot 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 appreclably
lower than at this time last year, but
object to the packing interests giving
out the idea that heavy price cuts are
10 be expected at once or in the near
fl1tllre.

STUART FOR GOVERNOR.

Henry c. Stuart, recently the demo
cratic candidate for Congress in the
Ninth Virginia district, appeared on
the Richmond streets Yesterday and
was bailcd as governor by his many
friends; no less than dozen such greet
ings coming 10 him.
When interviewed regarding his con.
test Of the vote in the Ninth, Mr.. Stuart
said be had nothing further to say than
his statement to the Ninth district
democratic committee Tuesday. Mr..
Stuart and former Governor Montague
met on the street. and while they we're
talking a friend approached and rlac-
ing a hand on the shoulder Of each
said: Former governor, next COVER
nor"
No charges we're made by Mr.. Stuart
of fraudulent proceedings i'll the Ninth
district, and he had nothing 10 say
against his opponent The democrats
have not rs yet given up hope in the
Ninth. Mr.. Stuart's friends say that the
great Fl 2 lit he put up in the campaign
and election has paved the way to certain
victory in the next gubcrnatorial con-
test, and there is but small doubt that
he will be the next governor Of Eir-
uinia.

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 |, 1912. The announcement ct
this epoch making event has come as a
great surprise, as there is no precedent
for such 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 ne
is not inclined to follow Llindly in the
steps of his predecessors.
His message read at the opening OF
Parliament in South Africa seemed to
foreshadow visit to that country at
somo 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,

Priests as Soldiers.

Madrid, Nov 1.-THE new project
OF obligatory military service now un-
der discussion in the Senate threatens
further to complicatc the relations be-
tween the Spanish government and the
vatican, rs it does not exempt either
the secular or the monastc clergy.
The bishop OF Madrid, yoicing the
clerical protest which characterizes the
bill as the most anti-clcrical 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 y storm OF
protest in section of the press on the
ground that instead OF abolishlng 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 system
whereby recruits may be discharged
after several months service by the pay
nent OF an indemnity, thus continuing
the discrimination i'll favor OF those pos
sessing money.

CnlIRifl AND STATE.

The Kaiser, while visiting the
Benedictine Monastery at Beuren, 10
which he had previously presented a
crucifx, addressed the abbot aud a
number OF Roman Catholic digaitaries.
He said:
Il look. 10 you to l!e!p me keep my
people religious. THIS is very impor
tant, as the twentieth century has set
loose ideas which can only be success
fully combated with the help of religion
and the support Of heaven. My
crown can only guarantee me success
when it relies on the word and Per
sonaIily Of our Lord. The govern
mcnts of Christian princes can only
be carried on according to the will OF
the Lord. The altar and throne are
closely united and must not be sep
arated."

Railway passengers into wild panic
below Laughorne yesterday afternoon,
when somebody shouted that bite
from the animal meant sure death from

ready to believe the worst about the
inur-ieggcd stranger scampcring npand

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. Il

DISPATCHES from London say the
nersonal efforts on the part OF KING
George to effect settlement IN tie
crisis now threatening the present sys-
tenn OF English government have failed.
Instead, the House OF Lords is today
facing an ultmatum from the liberals
that before November IS they must
consent to pass the bill limiting their
power of veto, or the issue will be
forced before the people in q 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 10 Londoli
With the hopes Of effccting u 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 stu!
later when the king received Premier
Asoui,h for personal consultation.
Asuuith, however, refuses to consider
for an instant the question OF Il com
promise, and has made kno%n the ul'i-
matum to the House Of Lords. The
result was i keen disappointment to
the king. Nevertheless, the declara-
tion that King George considers the
crisis the most serious with which Eng
land has been confronted III century,
has resulted in n TASTY awakening o!
the Lords. 1t is entirely possible now
that they will give UP at least some o.
their present rights voluntarily in an
effort to save the government. Lor!
I.ansdownc, leader of the conservatives,
declares that the upper House stood
ready to do its share toward cftcctlng re-
forms, and would concede the abolition
of the hereditary principle aud a fuller
representation OF certain elements III
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 ultimatum.

Woodbury., \. J., Nov. 17.-Leo, a

Ivy mad cat yesterday while on his

ragged animal off he was bitten on his
