Germany Demands Cheaper Meat Herlin, Auk. 24. The agitation for the opening of the frontiers to the free importation of meat and live animals has taken the form of telegraphic ap peals by associations and municipal itiea to Chancellor von Huelow, espe :ially from Thutingia, where prices are alleired to he 40 per cent higher than formerly. There seems to be no doubt that the price of meat has risen 40 per -nut. dnrinir the last ten years, and from 20 to 30 per cent within a year. Waiters Accused of Big Steal. New York, Aug. 24.

No further reports indicat ing the progress of the boycott have been received at the department, and it ia not believed there is any progress outside of Shanghai. Cure for Leprosy Proved.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 22. Devasta tion, ternhle and complete, was wrought on all sides of th Iwin tit'es by the storm of Sunday night, accord ina to reports just received here Through all the region from Anoka to Fillmore counties reports tell of disast er and Iohh of life and property. Members of families are missing and it is lielieved they are buried under the debris, which was strewn broadcast by the w ind. Many instances of maiming are le ported and the total loss of life w ill not be known for some days. Crops which had been cut and were ready for threshing suffered in many places ami standing corn was damaged by hail and wind. Hailstones several ii'ieln-R in circumference worked havoc with the crops in some sections. Ijirue sections of railroad tracks were Hwent awav south of here and the mail trains on certain portions ot the Chi cairn. Milwaukee iV St. Paul road were run yesterday on improvised tracks, making slow time on account of the en forced insecurity of the roadbed. In some of the farming localities the irrain was strippHl from the stalks, even in the shocks, by the furious rain and wiiitl. and haystacks were com pletely demolished. Huge trees, w hich have successfully withstood the storms of years, were uprooted am! hurled he fore the wind, and hams ami other oui buildinir were completely destroyed The damage done to build ngs and crops in the southern counties will reach many thousands of dollars, but no accurate estimate can be formed un til complete reports are received. All sections report that the storm was cyclonic in its nature and from some points reports tell of a funnel (dialled cloud that deHcended with the most intense fury, leaving destruction I . , , , in its path. Navies Will Fraternize. New York. Aug. 22 New York will be the scene of a remarkable demon stration of fraternity and goodwill be tween the tack tars of the navies of ti rent Britain and the United States during the drat week in October on the occasion of the visit of the second cruis er squadron of the Rritish fleet. On or about the first Monday in the month 1.200 American sailors will entertain a like number of their British brethren. Arrangements are making for a great banouet. smoker and theater party as the principal events. Indians Want Statehood. Muscogee. I.T., Aug. 22. The chief taincy of the five civilized tribes to the number of 200 delegates met here to day to declare for separate statehood for Indian Territory, aided and anettea ty white residents of Indian Territory, who for both business and sentimental reasons are opposed to a union with Oklahoma. This is the first time the tribal citizens of the territory ever as sembled to notify congress that they are ready for statehood. Texan Health Regulations. Pallas, Tex., Aug. 22. It has been ordered by the State Health department that all persons entering Texas by northern gateways must furnish health certificates properly attested. Identifi cation of persons must also be given in certificates. WILL DRIVE CONGRESS. Legislation Must Be Passed On Rail road Rates and Tariff. Washington, Aug. 22. In abandon ing tint idea of r ailing an extra session of congrcH in November, President Roosevelt ha handed out no encour agement to the men who aro fighting railroad rate legislation, or to the stand-pat Republican who disagree with him on the tariff rpirstlon. J tie abandonment of an extra session in November will have little effect upon the actual work of the next emigre. It simply mean that, instead of get ting together and organizing in Novem ber, congreH w ill meet on the .first Monday in December, will organize in the day preceding the holiday rece, and will be ready for work soon after the fi rut of January, inst-ad of the llrr-t of Jecemler. I'.ut congress will not shorten the session, for the time that is taken off at the beginning will bo tacked on at the end, and it i now probable that the first session of the Fifty-ninth congress, instead ol ad journing in April next, will run well Iiiti the summer. President Roosevelt lias not aban- loned hope of securing the parage of a railroad rate hill, nor ha he given up hope of securing a readjustment of he tariff to meet new condition. Arid it may be s ;t dow n as an absolute fact that, if the president, makes clear his position and in a message to congress insist upon railroad rate legislation as well as tariff legislation, the house of representatives will pass bills very closely in line with hi ideas, and won't waste much time about it. The people of the United States, es pecially the voters, have become pretty thourghly imbued with the idea that there ought to be legislation on the railroad rate question. They believe the president would not have taken his firm stand without cause, and the peo ple are with the chief executive. A great many of them, undoubtedly a large majority, agree with him that the time has come when there should be a readjustment of tariff rates, especially the rate th.'-t affect industries no long er nveding protei.-tion !a-hinl a tariff wall, but which are taking advantage of the protection afforded by the Ding- ley law to sell their products abroad at less price than they command in thib country. If the president wins his fight for railroad lcgiilation he may have to sac ridce the tariff bill at the coining ses sion, but it is known lie regards the railroad question as the more import ant of the two at this time, and would probably be willing to compromise on these grounds, if he can get a satis factory rate bill. The discussion of the railroail question, or rather the dis cussion of the railroad question coupled with the discussion of subjects injected for filibustering purposes, will occupy so much time that there will be little opportunity to consider a tariff bill in the senate. The house, which must originate tar iff legislation, may frame and pass a tariff bill, while the senate is wrestling w ith the rate problem, but the chances are that the senate win noi oe oongeu to surrender to the president on the tariff question at the coming session, provided it paspus the rate bill favored by the president. There is hardly time in a single session to dispose of two such great questions, but there is no telling what President hoosveelt may be able to do. TROLLEY BROKEN IN PIECES. Hit by Flying Freight Car at a Butte Street Crossing. Rutte, Mont., Aug. 22. Ten persons were killed and more than a score were injured, some fatally, here tonight, aa the result of a freight car dashing into a crowded open trolley car at the cross ing of the street car and the Oreat Northern railroad tracks on ttan street. Passengers on the car, men, women and children, were returning Irom Co lumbia CiardeiiB. The motorman, as usual, stopped hia car before reaching the railroad crossing. At that moment a Rutte.

Going to Fight Yankees. New York, Aug. 22. The Tribune tomorrow will say: "enezueia has placed orders in F'urope for torpedo boats with guns and ammunition at the cost of about $2,500,000, a larger amount than that little South Ameri can republic has ever expended at one time for war materials. An American, who has just returned from Venezuela is authority for the statement that President Castro recently declared that he waa "going to fight the Yankees," which is giveu as the cause ol the large orders for war material. Rains Do Not Retard. London, Aug. 22. The Telegraph's Tokio correspondent says that despite the heavy rains the Japanese have ad vanced in Northern Corea. The Rus sians abandoned their advance works and were driven back. After crossing the river the Russians destroyed the bridges and there was no sign of the Russians south of the lumen, ine Japanese army in Corea has already effected a certain communication with Field Marshal Oyama.

TatbcU's Description of the Oil KInK'a PhjritOKnomr, Study the photograph, the last taken of Mr. Rockefeller, study George Vari an's powerful sketch from life made In 1003. and say if It be worth while to be the richest man In the world at the cost these portraits show, writes Ida M. Tarbell In McClure's for Au gust Concentration, craftiness, cruelty, and something Indefinably re pulsive are In them. The photograph reveals nothing more. Mr. Varlan's JOHN BOCKE FELLER. sketch Is VRstly mors Interesting for it suggests, besides, both power and pathos and no one can look long on Mr. Rockefeller without feeling theae qualities. The impression he makes on one who sees him for the first time Is overwhelming. Brought face to face with Mr. Rockefeller unexpected ly, and not knowing him, the writer's Immediate thought was. "This Is the oldest man In the world a v living mummy." Rut there is no sense of feebleness with the sense of age; In deed there Is one of terrific power. The disease w hich In the last three or four years has swept Mr. Rockefeller's head bare of hair, stripped away even eyelashes and eyebrows, has revealed nil the strength of his great head. Mr. Rockefeller Is a big man, not over tall but large with powerful shoulders and a neck like that of a bull. Ills head Is wide and deep and disproportionate ly- hlirh. with curious bumps made more conspicuous by the tightly drawn, dry, naked skin. The interest of the big face lies in the eyes and mouth. Eyes more useful for a man of Mr. Rockefeller's' practices could hardly be conceived. They are small and intent and steady, and they are as exurewdonleas as a wall. They se ev erythlng aud reveal nothing. It is not a shifty eye not a cruel or leenng one It is something vastly more to be feared a blank eye, looking through .Ti,i throueh things, and telling noth ing of what they found on the way nut If the eyes say nothing the mouth tells much. Its former mask the full mustache Mr. Rockefeller has always worn, is now completely gone, Indeed the greatest loss Mr. Rockefel ler sustained when his hair went wa that It revealed his mouth. It Is only a slit the lips are quite lost, as If by eternal grinding together of the teeth teeth set on something he would have. It Is at once the crudest rea tura of his face this mouth the crudest and the most pathetic, for the hard, close-set line slants downward at the corners, giving a look of age and sadness. The downward droop Is em phaslsed by deep vertical furrows run- XX JAPANESE GUN 5. - 1 - - .. 6; 1 t nlng from each side of Ms nose. air.

VILLAQE3 ARE TO VANISH. Three Hamleta to Be Obliterate to In crease New York's Wat:r Supply. Three more of the Croton Talley' most picturesque villages are soon to be obliterated to meet the ever-Increasing demand of New York City for wa ter. The hamlets doomed by the wa tershed authorities are Croton Falls, Cross River and a part of the town of Somers. The houses, churches, stores, shops and even the cemeteries are to be blotted out, leaving only the bare land, which will be flooded with wa ter, making two lakes, each about four miles long. The first of the village to go will be Cross River, where New York has begun the erection of an Im mense dam to cost $3,000,000, one of the busiest manufacturing centers of Westchester County. It has a popula tion of 500, with a postofflco, threo churches, two schools, a cemetery and a half dozen stores and shops. The place was founded in revolution ary times and was famous generations ago for its paper manufactories. The people will be paid for their property at "market value," but this will hard ly compensate them for the losa of their homes and the breaking up ol their associations. About 700 persons in the three con demned towns will lose their homes and business, and most of them will be compelled to go out in the world and begin life over among strangers. In the case of the old people the cir cumstances are pathetic, and many sad scenes are expected when the time ar rives for them to bid farewell to thai homes and neighbors they have known since childhood.
