MEAT WILL SOAR TO
Even HIGHER PRICES
Scarcity Of Cattle Will Cause
Further Advance, the
Packers Declare.

Chicago, July 11.-Meat prices will
rise above the record figures Of recent
years despite the huge grain crop, ac-
cording to packing house representa-
tlves who today asserted that the pres
ent scarcity Of cattle and the effect of
dry weather on grazing lands will more
than offset the enormous grain yield.
A price Of 16 cents to the butcher was
predicted as an early possibility and 1t
was pointed out by one of the packing
house men that cattle are now highe,
than for some time. Scarcity Of grass
fed cattle was referred to as a factor
in the predicted advance.
The dry summer in the west last
year, n of the representatives of the
packers said, wds one Of the chief
causes of the scanty supply on hoot
and another declared that the demand
for meat exceeded the supply and nat
urally caused prices to advante. All
agreed that meat prices showed .signs
of rising.

According to the story which has
gained circulation and which is given
considerable credence in Washington.
the Fflipinos are planning a general
uprising and a simultaneous attack on
OH Americans and American officials
throughout the provinces. The alleged
plan is said to involve these points:
The landing of arms imported prin-
clpally from Japan at points in Luzon
remote from the American army gar
risons.
The cutting of the cable on the eve
of the contemplated instruction.
The assassination of Americans in
Mantle and throughout the islands.

In the Philippines profess to believe
there is such an insurreetionary plot on
foot. Secretary of War Garrison and
Gen. Frank Mcintyre, chief Of the
