ONLY EMBALMED BEEF
Is Excluded From the British, Army
Purchases.
London, April 12. The director of con
tracts, a major, said to a representative
of the Associated Press:
"The new rule relating to army boef
applies only to refrigerated beef hither
to bought In the open market In Lon
don. It will not seriously affect the
American trade as the total weekly sup
ply for the army ia only 2W.0OO pounds,
which i3 barely 2 per cent of the weekly
imports of refrigerated beef into Erg
land from the L'nited States. Mr. Brod
erick's action was taken long before the
New Orleans proceedings. It is quite ab
surd to suppose that any Idea of re
taliation prompted the order, which was
due to a natural desire to help some of
the home industries. The difference In
price is very triflinsr and we are m.iking
that up by giving Tommy Atkins frozen
mutton two days instead of one day
weeKly. If the plan is satisfactory our
supply problem will be greatly simpli
fied, for we often have complaints and
disagreements over refrigerated beol.
Tou must not suppose that we now use
no home grown beef. Aldersliot and some
of our other camps are almost entirely
supplied with home grown beef. We
hav hitherto used refrigerated beef as
an addition to our rations, rather thin
as an integral part. We have no preju
dice against American firms and we do
not believe they will miss this trade to
any extent, even if it Is decided to con
tinue the experiment."
DOCTORS CAN'T TELL
"Whether or Not Ann Arbor Btndent
Has Bubonic Plague.
Chicago, April 12. A special to the
Record-Herald from Ann Arbor, Mich.,
says:
Dr. Novy when asked regarding the
condition of Charles B. Hare, the stu
dent who is supposed to have the bu
bonic plague, said:
"Nothing yet has been decided, but tie
is recovering rapidly. He is out of bed
and walks around occasionally inside the
contagious ward. He will be kept there
until week after next any way and until
it is certain he cannot spread any infec
tion." Student Commlngs, who is caring for
Hare, has not caught any infection and
preventives are still being applied to
him.

WELCOME PAS TOU KELLER.
Congregation to Unite in Showing
Faith in Slandered Minister.
New York, April 12. Preparations are
underway by members of the Trinity
Mission chapel to make the return of the
Rev. John Keller to the pulpit at Ar
lington, N. J., an incident memorable in
the church's history. It is not the inten
tion to advertise the time of his reap
pearance, but every member of the con
gregation will know of it, and it is in
tended that the warmth of the greeting
shall set at rest rumors that there is
among them a division of sentiment re
garding the charges made against the
pastor by Mrs. Barke' whose husband
shot him.
Wrapped in a heavy ulster and so dis
guised behind a large piair of colored
spectacles that several of his friends did
not know him, Mr. Keller this week took
his first trip in the open air since the
shooting. The trip consisted of an hour's
drive through the country with Dr. Jas.
A. Exton, in the doctor's carriage.
In the short walk from the house to
the curb Mr. Keller showed unmistak
able signs of his defective vision. He
kept hold of the hand of his physician
and set his feet forward timidly. Physi
cian and patient drove past the sp-t
where the shooting took place and turn
ed west into Midland avenue and down
the incline at West Arlington to the
handsome new driveway just completed
along the Passaic river. . As they drove
along Mr. Keller could distinguish only
the chief features of the landscape. Even
this, however, appeared to bring him
delight and he laughed and chatted mer
rily. When they got back home again
several neighbors who had seen the
wounded clergyman go out and were on
the watch for his return met them. Dr.
Exton hurried his patient through the
small sized crowd, however, declining to
let him stop even for a moment's cha1-
R1DGELY RESENTS IT.
Says Populists Do Not Intend to
Be Legislated Out of State.
Ex-Congressman E. R. Ridgely, chair
man of the Populist state central com
mittee, dropped into Populist headquar
ters here at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon
and spent a brief hour between trains
gathering up the leading strings of state
politics again after his winter in Wash
ington. This was Mr. Ridgely's first ap
pearance in Topeka since the close of
the campaign last fall.
The air of worry over the conduct of
a strenuous campaign is gone. The
polished environment of Washington has
brought back to him crispness and in
clsiveness and his very appearance some
how suggests strength and readiness for
another battle.
"The turn of affairs In Kansas has cre
ated new conditions." he said in an in
terview, "and it will necessitate a new
line of action. In my absence I have not
familiarized myself with the new elec
tion laws and have not had time to di
gest them since my return. I have talk
ed with very few of our people so am not
aware of the state of sentiment among
them even."
"As chairman of the state committee
what is your view of anti-fusion law and
its effect? What about keeping your
party alive " was asked.
"The People's party is very much alive.
It will certainly maintain Its identity
and is doing business right straight
along at the old stand. I find the head
quarters here at work actively and have
approval for what is done. As for my
self," tartly, "I can say we do not pro
pose to be legislated out of the state.
The people's party will make direct leg
islation the issue in the next campaign.
We are going to begin right at home to
practice what we preach. The next
meeting of the central committee is to
be set by referendum. The chairman
will not make an arbitrary call, you
understand. Every member of the com
mittee is asked by letter to express his
views as to when the meeting shall be
called. Shall we have it right awayfnr
soon? or about the middle of May? or in
June, July or August? Each will ap
proximate the most suitable time In view
of existing conditions and then we will
set an exact date. Wa set down a line
of principles that our party stands for
and we will transact the business of our
party by them. From this time out the
party is to be governed as it would have
the state governed."

DEFENDS RUSSIA.
Returned Americans Say Czar Is Not
So Black as Painted.
New York, April 12. A recent arrival
from China is Ralph James, who for
nearly 15 years has been extensively en
gaged in mining at Kalgan, near Pekin,
and in Siberia. Since his arrival he has
placed orders for machinery to cost
nearly $400,000.
In an interview he said: "I have juit
returned from a long sojourn in Russian
and Chinese soil. It is my opinion that
Russia will never take Manchuria or
permit others to seize it.
"Russia and the Russians are misun
derstood. The evil of the misunderstand
ing ia easily traced. It is due to the di
plomatic use of newspapers by Great
Britain. The latter is a jealous nation
with a powerful navy. Her great factor
ies have lost the trade with Russia and
America has gained it,
"In 1893 the Russian government first
received a concession In Manchuria from
China. Russia made a formidable fort
out of Port Arthur and constructed a
railroad across Manchuria at a cost of
over $50,000,000. Last summer, during
the troubles over $.30,000,000 damage was
done this railroad by the boxers. In or
der to save her property and preserve it
from entire destruction Russia sent 125.
000 soldiers along the road and the Chi
nese, who had become roving bands of
outlaws and thieves, were driven almost
entirely fr&m the country.
"The emperor of Russia is a home lov
ing man and his subjects who are now in
that Manchurian army are of the farm
ing class of Siberia and it is the emper
or's wish to have his army sent home,
where they are needed to prepare for the
coming season's crops Still, Russian
property must be protected and with
such purpose in view Russia tried to
gradually withdraw from Manchuria,
making terms with Chinese officials to
protect the great railroad.
"The Chinese are well aware of the
friendship of Russia. They know that
in 1S93 me czar prevented Manchuria.
Mongolia and Thibet from revolting and
raising the Russian flag over their coun
tries. The highest princes and priests of
those three countries have visited the
czar every year, praying for permission
to raise the Russian flag over them, and
every time these representatives receiv
ed the same answer: 'Russia will never
permit her flag to be raised over your
countries. We want your country, peo
pled by its present citizens, as a great
open field and barrier between the popu
lated districts of China proper and the
borders of Russia.'
"Had one gone along the line of the
Trans-Siberian railway last fall, as I
did, during the illness of the czar, there
would have been a sight worthy the at
tention of other nations to behold and
ponder over. All the way from Vladi
vostock in the east to Moscow in the
west, men, women and children were
kneeling in the streets in prayer for the
recovery of their father, the czar.
"The recent troubles In St. Petersburg
was not of a serious character and were
greatly magnified by the press, particu
larly by the English. All this talk about
the czar's guard and steel houses is bosh.
The cabinet officers can be seen any day
riding along the Nevsky Prospect and
are seen of an evening at the hotels and
restaurants."
DEPARTMENT STOKE TRUST
Charter Authorizes a Wide Range of
Business.
New York, April 32. A special to the
Tribune from New Haven, Conn., says:
The Associated Merchants company of
New York, known as the department
store trust company, gains wide range
of powers through the charter rights or
iginally granted by this state to the Col
umbian Construction company, cf whlcii
the New York company is the . out
growth. The charter thus taken over author
izes the company to conduct a manufac
turing business, to own and equip steam
or electric railroads, bridges, stores,
buildings, warehouses, telephone, tele
graph and electric lines, steamships and
steamboats, vessels, ferry boats, surface
or underground railways, to deal in real
estpte, - stocks, franchises, securities, to
negotiate with any other company re
garding their stocks and establishimen' .
to operate railroads in this or any other
country. The company ts however, pro
hibited from occupying any highway or
public ground in this state for railroad
purposes. These enormo-.is privileges are
buried in the charter that passed both
houses recently and which are now un
derstood to have been put through Inr
the benefit of the big organization.

LED A DOUBLE LIFE.
Skoog, the Counterfeiter at Night
Was Pious Mr. Brown by Day.
New York, April 12. The Journal and
Advertiser says:
John Albert Skocg, the counterfeiter
who now hovers between life and deatn
in the prison ward at Bellevue hospital,
the result of self-inflicted wounds, led a
double life; and he did it so cleverly that
hardly a person in Williamsburgh wjll
believe that the would-be suicide and
"Albert A. Brown," the photographer of
Grand street, Williamsburgh, are one
and the same. That he is a man who
escaped from a prison in Joliet after
killing a guard Is beyond their power ti
realize. He was a favorite in the horms
of his neighbors. In the Republican club
of the district he was one of the leaders
and was regarded as a power at the
polls.
In the Swedish church, at Leonard
and Griggs avenue, the same "Brown"
was one of the most devout worshippers
and a regular contributor.
To the poor of the district he was a
veritable Robin Hood His neighbors
said he gave away more than he could
afford. They thought he lived on the
proceeds of the little photographing es
tablishment and did not know that night
after night his printing press on the top
floor was turning out 50 and 100 kroner
notes, as well as notes of Uncle Sam's
currency and bills of the Bank of Scot
land. E. M. Clifford, who has charge of the
house where Skoog lived, said that as
"Brown" he was the best tenant they
had Mrs. Clifford said she could not
believe the man was a counterfeiter.
Skoog's apartment was Just across the
hall from her and Chief Hazen and his
secret service men were, at the moment
when she expressed her faith in Skoog,
packing away the plates from which the
