MERELY MARKET MANIPULATION
Says Mr. Wley-Scheme of the Interests Which Put the

Abnormal Reduction in Prices of Meats

Washington. Nov. 16-The so-called

chief Of the bureau OF chemistry of the
department of agriculture.
He said here today:
The interests which manipulated
the prices upward temporarily have re-

the purpose OF getting fresh grip.
The so-cailed reduction in meats is
fictitious. Its manipulation was delib-
crate. just as the increase in prices
was unjust. unreasonable and uncalled
for by conditions prevailing through
out the country. The prices were fic

we're forced there arbitrarily by the
interests.

Secretary Wilson said today that the
announced reduction in prices was alb
normal. He said IL was due to the
fact that the drought in the cattle

hands must pay S35 a ton for his hay.

PANAMA SETTLES :. BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Chief Justice Fuller Arbiter of
 Costa RiGa Trouble. <

The long staGding and menacing boundary dispute between Panama and Costa Rica has been settled by the signing of protocol referring the arr bitration of the question to Melville w. Fuller. chief justice of the supreme court of the Uni:ed States. The proto- col was signed at Secretary of State Knox's residence in Washington by representatives of Panama and Costa Rica.
 The boundary question has been pending since Colombia and Central America became independent of Spain. Colombia contended that its western boundary on the isthmus should be drawn from the Golfo Dulce to Cape Gracias-a-Dios. Central America held that the old boundary of Guatemala went eastward as far as the Rio Chi riqui. including the Bocas bay region.
 A few months ago the two countries asked Secretary Knox to use his good offices to settle the question. Dr. Be lisafio Porras was sent to Washington as the special commissioner from Pan- anna, and Dr. Luis Anderson represent ed Costa Rica.

STRIKE
 ENDED BY PENROSE
United States Senator Forces
 Company to Yield.

United States Senator Boies Pen rose brought an end to the Philadel- phia street car strike. which involved a general sympathetic strike of 60,0Q0 men, lasted three weeks and cost sev- eral million dollars.
 Under pressure from Senator Pen rose the Rapid Transit officials agreed to terms that gave the carmen's union nine-tenths of everything they de- manded. Even the recognition of the Amalgamated union through a griev- ance committee was included in the equalization.
 First of all, the company agreed to take back all of the men on strike and to restore them to their old runs and their priority on the wage and promo tion lists. The pr"viso was made that if the company was unable at once to restore all of the old men to their jobs it should pay $2 a day to all that were kept waiting and that these should re- teive their former jobs within two months.
 The status of the 1T3 motormen and conductors who were discharged for intoxication, knocking down fares and for the good of the service-the act which precipitated the strike-was left to q board of arbitration.
 The strikers won point in the mat ter of wages. By their old agreement they were to receive 9 cents an hour beginning June 1, 1910. They were getting 22 cents when they struck. By the agreement forced by Senator Pen rose they go back to work at g cents an hour, and they will be raised to 23112 cents on June 1 next.

 F.. For Congress by 5,e4o.
 Eugene N. Toss of Boston was elect ed to congress as Democrat iL the Fourteenth Massachusetts district on Tuesday by d plurality of 5,G40 over William k. Buchanan Of Brockton, running as a Republican.
 It was an overwhelming victory for Foss, for every precinct ill the dis trict reversed the vote of 1908, when the late Congressman Lowering car ried 1t by more than 14,000. Floss re- ceived 14,9S9 votes and Buchanan 9,34O.
 The district was considered the strongest in the state, but from the day of the party convention which nominated Buchanan prominent Re publicans secretly expressed their fears of a Democratic victory. From every town came reports of wholesale repu- diation of the Republican nominee. Committee chairmen resigned because they could not support Buchanan, and from every hand came word that life long Republicans were going to vote for a Democrat for the first time.
 It was the first congressional cleo tion since the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill went into effect, and the outcome can be construed as a rebuke to that measure. Foss made his campaign chiefly on the high cost of living. put ting the blame upon the new tariff.
