England Is f, icing a meat turn Ine. Already the prlcea of all kinds of meat have gone so high that it la beyond the renin of the poorer classes, and there la no relief In Might. Bee is higher than It has been In more than thirty years, while American bacon la 9 shillings a hundred weight higher than the highest prlca provided In the cable code used by the provision market. When the code was framed no one dreamed of a price higher than 76 shilling. a hundred weight. American "long cut" hams are now 84 shll lings and "short cut" are 78 shillings. Not only meat, but butter, cheese and eggs have gone out of sight. So serious has the situation become that the National Federation Meat Traders' association has Issued a warning that unless a fresh source of supply is tapped meat will be prohibitive to the poorer classes. The announcement says: In view of the greatly Increased price of all descriptions of meat, both British- produced and Imported, to the retailer, ow lug to the short supplies of cattle with the largely reduced arrivals of live stock from the United States and Canada, the National Federation of Meat Traders' Associations (Incorporated) find It necessary to inform the public that retail butchers will be com pelled to put up prices all round. There are no Indications that meat will be cheaper for some time to come, the sources of supply having beon so seriously depleted. C'anaea Summarised, Summarized, the position may be put as follow: The crisis has been caused by a Shortage Of supplies of live cattle from Canada and the United States, and of chilled beef from the states. -",':" During the last twelve months the whole' sale price of beef has risen in some cuses by SO per cent In the poorer district of London the butchers have not been able to Increase the retail prices because people would not pay them Butchers In poor neighborhoods have been trading at a heavy loss, and Borne have bad to close their establishments alio gether. It is believed that a further Increase up to 3 pence a pound will be decided upon. , Many people are taking to a vegetarian diet rather than pay excessive prices for meat. Giving an explanation of the rise. Alder man Llndsey, the president of the National Federation of Meat Traders' Associations, said "For several weeks past the demand for meat has largely exceeded the supply. We are getting very few bullocks from North America because they have very few to send. Four years ago ws received 1,000 or B.Ouo a week. We are scarcely getting 1,000 now. I do not think the price of American bullocks has ever been so high. English supplies also are short and dear. Fresh Source of Supply "Jt has long bean felt by those, who have special means of obtaining lnforma tlon that unless some fresh sources of supply can be tapped the prices of meat in tills country will be so much higher that as an article of food it will becom almost prohibitive to the working classes, whose purchasing power Is certainly be coming leas. "The government have been approached not only by those directly intereated in the meat trade, but by moat of the cor porations of the large provincial towns and also by quite a number of the metro politan boroughs, ' to receive a deputatlo In order personally to urge the removal ' of the existing embargo, which prevents the landing of live cattle from the Argen tine at our foreign animals wharves. "Up to the present the government has not even granted those who are in position to give valuable 'information an opportunity of expressing their views Today we are met with this fact: That the number of live animals Imported for food is reduced almost to vanishing point. Meat from America. "We rely principally upon the United States for our beat supplies of summer cattle. In America they are past master in the art of keeping back what Is wanted until It commands the very best prices and they are doing something of the kind now. There is a splendid working arrange ment among the American exporters. With regard to the Argentine supplies, the meat has been brought across tha equator, and therefore has to be frozen so very hard that It nutritive properties are di minished. Consequently this source of sup ply does not help ao much as it would -were the Argentine cattle allowed to come alive as they used to. There has been a decrease of over S0.0OS builocka up to May 14 of tha preaent year, aa compared with last year's supply from North America."

MAY BE HELD ON HIS BIRTHDAY anada la Deeply Iatereated la the Event and Favors Mar 314 aa the Moat r'nvornble Time. BY LADY MARY MANWARINGI LONDON, June 26. (Special Dispatch to The Bee.) The next great function attend ant on n change of monarch will be the coronation of King George. Already dis cussion bs to the probable date of the crowning of George has begun. Two dates are mentioned. May 24. Empire day, und June 3, the king's birthday. The former seems to meet with most general favor not oniy ncre, out turougnout ui empire as Messages have been received welcoming the suggestion from Canada, India, South Africa and Austialla. Canadians especi ally are delighted. For the Canadian people generally a better day could not be hosen, because for many yeara May 21 has been pre-eminently the best of all 'anadlan holidays. It has been the first holiday after the winter months and is ertarded as the formal ushering In of the ummer season. Should Empire day be chosen for the coronation more elaborate plans than usual will doubtless be made for its celebration throughout Canada, and he holiday will henceforth take on a deeper significance, marking an It would both the birthday of Queen Victoria and the coronation of the reigning sovereign. Auatralla'a Attitude. Sir George Held, the Australian high commissioner, gave his view upon the pro posal and spoke of It with enthusiasm'. 'If the coronation of his majesty is to take place on any date near that of Empire day I certainly think," he said, "it would be a most happy event If the great cere monial was fixed for a day which Is being more and more associated with the broader aspects of empire and loyalty. As the years pass the significance of Empire day increases rapidly. The coronation, to which every subject of the king will look for ward with Intense Interest will assume additional significance if It takes place on Empire day. And no one better under stands the empire that his present majesty." In South Africa Empire day Is already a public holiday, and the suggestion Is strongly supported. The Rand Dally Mall supports the pro posal In a leading article, urging that the arrangement would have a far-reaching Influence both In England and the domin ions, and would be peculiarly fitting In view of the king's remarkable acquaintance with the outer areas of the empire over which he rules. Strain on Queen Mary. Queen Mary la beginning to feel the severe strain that she has gone through during the last few weeks, and Is very anxious to take as complete a rest as is possible for some little time to come. For that reason she Is seeing no one beyond the members of her own family and one or two especially Intimate friends. ' Her majesty has always enjoyed very robust health, and this has improved of recent years. She had, however, a very sincere affection for the late king, and the shock of his death has affected her rather con siderably. Like King George, her majesty has no liking whatever for foreign travel and she has declined to listen to susrarestlona that 'have been brought before her recently. that she should pay a private visit to the continent for a time, and will snend the next few months at Windsor, Barton Manor and Balmoral, In the order named. She proposes, however, at the first con venient opportunity to travel to Broad- stairs, in order to Inspect the school in which Prince Henry has been sent. . Baby Heir to Throne. Youthful, indeed, are the heirs of many of Europe a monsreha. Our own heir apparent ia only IS year old, the tsar vltch of Russia la In his 6th year, the Crown Prince Humbert of Italy la 5 years old, Prince Leopold of Belgium Is 9 years old. King Alfonso's heir is but 3 years old, while the pride of Norway, the Crown Prince Olar, la not yet 7 years old. Prince Boris of Bulgaria la IS years old, and the heir to the throne of Saxony Is 17 years old. Youngest of all la Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, who is but a baby of about 13 months. Of the minor ruling houses, the heir to Lippe Is not yet I yeara old, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, t years and months and Saxe Alterburg 10 years old. On the other band, the oldest heir to any .throne is Prince Leopold of Baravla, who ia in his 19th year. Makes Boeord Drive. Lord Lonsdale, whose name has been much before the publlo lately in connection with the terrible dlaaater at the White, haven mines, which he owns, has been termed England's best all round sports man,' and there ia not much exaggeration In the description, for his lordship rides, shoots, yachts, motors and boxes, and laVn expert slipper of greyhounds. Ills chief love, perhaps, is for horses. Back in the nineties, Lord Lonsdale made a bet with Lord Shrewsbury that he would drive twenty miles in record time. In spite of the roads being covered with deep anow, Lord Lonsdale won. The road to be tra versed was that between Reigate and Craw ley. His lordship drove a fqur-In-hand the first five miles, and made up the twenty by driving a alngle horse for the last stage, accomplishing the total distance in fifty-five and a half minutes. Will Visit Berlin. It is definitely aettled that the flrat state visit to be paid by King George and Queen Mary to be foreign court shall be to Berlin, and his majesty gave a promise to that effect to the Kaiser before the. latter left this country. It la not expected that this visit will take place until the autumn of next year, and It is probable that their majestiea will halt for a day or two in Paris as the guests of the prealdent before they return to thla country. His majesty proposes to maintain the custom of the late King Edward, and to visit in turn each of the principal courts of Europe aa opportunity serves, and among those capitals that be hopea to vlalt later are Madrid and Lisbon.

Whatever may ba the changes of feeling among the Irish people as to the wisdom or propriety of seeking to guin Irish. freedom by force of arms, there has been no change In the affection and esteem for the men, who risked their lives for Ireland in the Fenian days. Tao great home coming pilgrimage Is bringing many of these gallant fighters home ti.is year and they are being received enthusi astically. Among them Is Thomas Cullinane, who took a very Important part In the move ment In his native place during that stormy period. The district in which Mr. Cullinane first saw tho 'light, that of Bally- macoda, can boast of some of the best und most devoted adherents to the move ment, of which James Stephens was the head, and some of them particularly Peter O'Neill Crowley and his companions of the -episode at Kilclooney Wood are re membered as amongst the best and truest and most steadfast, which Cork county produced at that time. Mr. Cullinane was often commissioned by the leadera to un dertake very delicate and exacting tasks, and it waa while performing one of these dutiea that he was arrested. On the 6th of March, 1867, he proceeded to Castlemartyr. by direction of Captain McClure to make certain Inquiries, and while doing so he fell Into the hands of the police. He was afterwards tried in Cork with Captain McClure, Kelly and Joyce, and he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Three weeks later, however, he received a reprieve, and was then transported to Western Australia. In February, 1VT1, he was given his free dom, and he then proceeded to America. Though he ..had . been a - long time away his heart always reverted to the land for Which he strove ao nobly, and lately he returned to his native district of Bally-, macodtt. .To signal Ite the home coming and to give him a welcome worthy of his patrotlc record . a meeting .was held in Bally macoda last week. A platform over which stars and strips floated was erected for the proceedings, which werft marked by the greatest enthusiasm. . Gaffaey'a Experience. Another returning Fenian Is Mr. Bernard Gaffney, who left Ireland for Australia In 1863, and who is now in his' ,aeventy-ffrth year. He had many Interesting reminiscences also of those stirring times, especially of the "Cataipe" expedition, which was fltte cut for the purpose of assisting Fenians In western Australia to escape. Mr. Gaffney was one of the leading spirits of "The Irish Citizen," which waa started In Sydney In 1871. Mr. Gaffney speaks highly of the Irish nationalist feeling in Australia and the sympathy and interest with which the fight for home rule la watched by the Irish exiles. ."Prince of Peace" at Belfast. v Hon.

Bankrupt Well Fixed. A strange discovery was made by u bankruptcy court official, who, accom panied by nine police officers, paid a cur- prise visit to the house of Mrs. Jul! Quill of Coolea. County Cork; who waa recently declared bankrupt for a debt of f35 for rent. The official happened to pick up a pillow, which looked aa If it had been carelessly thrown down on a basket. Immediately a son and daughter of Mrs. Quill pounced upon him and struggled desperately to get possession of the pillow. The official fell upon it and remained In that position until the policemen came to his assistance. The pillow was then ripped open and among the (feathers were found bank notes, gold and silver, amounting alto gether to 128 Is 2d. Two books were also found, showing that the bankrupt's sons had 307 to their credit In the bank. WOULD REVISE CALENDAR Burton Man Prupoaea n Chan In Division of Mentha, Making Tot Fractions.

OVERTHROW UF SEPARATISTS I Gratifying Development in Hunga-1 rian Politics. ' SERIOUS ELECTION CONFLICTS Emperor Francis Joseph Kirrr Great Ratlsfactlnn Over the Final Solution of Pub lia Problems. BY EM1L AXDRASSY. VIENNA. June 25. (Special Dispatch to The Bee.) The complete overthrow of the Hungarian separatists In the last general election has not only been one of the most remarkable, but the most gratifying de- veiopments m. the politics of the empire of j recent years. I Count Khuen-Hwiervary, the Hungarian premier, will have behind him fully two- j thirds of the new Hungarian Diet. It Is doubtful, in fact, of the Kossuth-.! list h i combination will be able to muster 109 votes : out of the 453 members. Large districts which have for. years past exclusively sent members of the Justh or the Koosuth parly to the Relchsrath have now deserted these leaders for deputies ad vocating dualism. AlUr such a decisive de feat no one, either here or In Hungary, Is disposed to take too tragically the threats Of obstruction by the Kossuth and Justh fractions. The, Hungarian nation Is wearied of Jhe long and fruitless "conflict which has materially ruined the country. Any attempt, therefore, to disturb the great work which is awaiting the new Parlia ment by recourse to obstruction meet with very doubtful success. Result of the Election. The result of the Hungarian election cam paign, the progress of which is hourly re ported to Emperor Francis Joseph has ex ceedingly gratified the monarch, who has wired Count Khuen to this effect. Serious conflict t6ok place In, connection with the elections. At Koerpen, near . Karansebes, the Constituents blew up a parsonage with dynamite after the priest had voted for the government party. Profiting by the ex isting turmotl In order to decide their quar rel at Zlgetkamara, a band of Tziganes had an encounter with a number of Roumanians. Joung Kosarkar, the Gipsy queen, headed her companions In the fight, and fell, dagger In hand, three other women being killed with her. Two men perished on the side of the opponents, while the gendarmes succeeded In arrest ing twenty-one Tziganes, who were all more or less wounded. In Hungary, ap parently, politics are considered to be more important than religion, for the priest of Turnad, giving his support to agitation on behalf of the governmont a considerable number of Catholics became Protestants. Effect of Emperor's Vlalt. The recent tour of the emperor to Bosnia and Herzegovina - has resulted In curing another sore place in the empire. The re establishment of tha ancient kingdom of Bosnia and Herzegovina destroyed by the- Turks In 146S has .caused the greatest en thusiasm In those provinces and they are now believed to ba thoroughly loyal to the empire. . -All along the . route - traversed by. the royal tron - through Bosnia the ' population turned out and cheered -enthusiastically. At Sarajevo the reception accorded to the emperor was most Imposing and cordial. The ecclesiastical authorities of all creeds, the local' officials and army officers awaited his majesty's arrival at Sarajevo station, which was magnificently decor ated. The emperor, who did not seem In the least fatigued after nis twenty hours' journey, was acclaimed with the greatest enthusiasm. After the exchange of most cordial greetings the emperor, at the side of the chief of the Bosnian government, General Varesanln de Vares, followed by a magnificent cortege, preceeded. In a carriage and four with outriders, escorted by guards, to the palace, passing on the way through magnificently decorated streets lined with troops, to the accom paniment of the spontaneous and enthus iastic ovations bf the immense crowd. Despite the dismay of the court officials, the emperor In the most democratic fashion walks among' the Jubilant crowds and speaks ith the people without the least ceremony. As may be Imagined, their en' thuslasm has been doubled thereby. A touching Incident Is related of the emperor's visit to the monument of Vlsoko erected to the memory of the soldiers who fell in the Bosnian war of 1870. He spent some minutes before the monument with uncovered head In silent prayer. Then he stooped and plucked a single wild flower and laid it on the stone which covers the last resting1 place of so many brave soldiers.

This Is the .opinion of J Prince George of Servla, who has been spending three months In a small garrison town as a punishment for his alleged un gentlemanly behavior toward the prefect of police and who has been recalled upon the advice of tha physicians, who found that he la suffering from a severe attack of bronchial catarrh, and after being treated for some daya In Belgrade has been advised to go to Vichy tfor a -four weeks' cure. Prince George was to have left at once, but he had a controversy with his father, tha king, who did not want to make him an allowance of over 120 per diem, and as a result his royal highness refused to go away at all until the allowance waa increased.

To one nob.e family In France the recent marriage of Miss Mary Harrl man, daughter of the great American rail road man, to an American was little short of a calamity. The son and heir had long ago marked the fabulously rich American heiress as-the means by which the family fortunes should he renewed and had paid assiduous court to Miss Hurriman. In order to assist the marquis, for that is his title, and it Is, In fact, a historic one, his relatives have, It Is sulci, even pawned their household furniture, besides borrow ing money at Cxcrbttant Interest on the strength of false statements about the projected marriage. It can be said that the marquis received no encouragement either from Miss Hurriman or from her parents. But even then the members of this noble family could not conceive of an Ameiicun girl turning down such a title for the sake of an ordinary untitled American, and up to the very time of her marriage, hope was entertained. It is said, with how mucn truth 1 am unable to say, that an appeal has been made to the former Miss liarri niah to assist the marquis' family out of their financial difficulties. Old Rule Restored. . At last the house of Mollere has recov ered Its 'most cherished privilege, which It lost nine years ago. The actors will them selves accept or rejeot new plays submitted to the theater, a decree repealing that which abolished the privilege In 1901 hav ing been signed by the president of the re public. , The Internal management of the Theater Francois is a state affair, and can be altered only by . a. jformal decree by the president. The new measure reinstates 'the old system, with one or two Improvements. Thus the reading ..committee, besides the six actors' who form', the administrative council, and two other elected male mem bers, will Include also two actresses, the two senior feminine partners in the joint stock company of the theater, who, for the present, are Mesdames Bartet and Pierson. A hardy younm explorer, M. Ralleer du Baty, who accompanied Dr. Charcot on his previous Antarctic expedition, has Just re turned to Paris from an adventurous voy age to which he' and his brother Henri de voted the whole of their small fortune. Two and a half years ago they purchased a fishing boat, ftfty-flve feet In length, and set sail with a crew of four other companions for the desert Island of Kerguelen, in the south of the Indian ocean. . In the forty ton fishing boat they have successfully completed a voyage of 15,000 miles. Be tween Rio do Janeiro and the Island of Tsldan d'Acunha they encountered a ter rible cyclone. On the Island they found a population of eighty-three souls, whom they describe as half-civilized and as of Eng lish origin. During the remainder of the voyage the little boat was buffeted by heavy storms, but the desert isle was safely reached In March, 1U08. Fifteen montha were apent in exploring the Island, making acientific observations and hunting seals. In June last year the party started for Australia, and had a terrible passuge of forty-five daya owing to storms. It was only by throwing out oil that the boat was kept afloat. On reaching Melbourne the boat was dlspoaad of for a handful of gold, and the explorer took the passenger ateamer for Marseilles, where he has Just landed. He will report to the Academy and tho Geographical society. Seudenta Get Revenge. The medical students who have been ex cluded from the French School of Medi cine . by the police for expressing, by means of eggs and tomatoes, their objec tions to the present system of electing canuf-dates to the " faculty of medicine have had their revenge.' Dr. Bertlllon, one of the principal object ors, presented himself as a candidate, and devoted the greater part of hla thesta to a brilliant satire on certain features of medical Instruction in Francs, to the prac tical exclusion of "muscular rheumatism," the theme allotted to him aa a aubject. The candidate began by stating there were two kinds of doctors, and entered upon a very thinly veiled attack upon the dean, M. Landouzy, and the Jury. It aoon became too much for the dean, who tartly reminded the candidate that he had not yet mentioned "muscular rheumatism." "Oh, yes," was the reply. "I am going to treat It in text-book form." And without a smile, he presented in the most abstruse medical terminology a ridiculous account of how cutlers, being obliged while work lng to stoop In a stream of water to sharp ?n their tools were subject to rheumatism. and evaded it by tying long-haired poodles to the calves of their legs. "The cutlers catch fleas from the dogs," Dr. Bertlllon added gravely, while the lec ture room rocked with laughter, "but It la claimed that tha doga draw the rheumatism out of their masters." Dr. Bertlllon proceeded to aay that cer tain doctors preferred to aend their pa tients to hot springs a transparent refer ence to Mr. Landouzy'a favorite treatment, which made the dean writhe, while a nerv ous member of the Jury In scarlet robes shuffled uneasily with hla feet. "Muacular rheumatism," the candidate quickly ob aerved, "has 'also a certain moral effect. Patients become irritable and cannot keep their feet still." The audience roared. Tha situation was unendurable, and the jury filed out, while M. Landouzy, rising, angrily announced that the candidate's name waa struck off the list..

A secret police officer named Muratoff, was walking unarmed In one of the prin cipal streets of Moscow two or three daya ago, when he thought he recognized the mistress of a long sought for criminal named Shuravleff, alias Bolussoff. The woman was accompanied by a man, whom the detective rightly guessed to be Shurav lff, and whom he promptly seized by the wrists with a view to arresting Mm. Shuravleff threw off the detective and toolt to flinht, drawing a revolver from his pocket and firing four shots at Muratoff, who ran after him. The detective fell to the ground mortally wounded. He was carried to the nearest hospital, where he died in a few mlnuUs. In the meantime the pursuit was con tinued and Shuravleff fired nearly a dozen shots at the police and others who weic following hlni. None of them, however, took effect, although the uniforms of sev eral policemen bore bullet marks. After dodging from street to street Shuravleff dashed down a -cul-de-sac abutting on a railway embankment. He fired at the guard on duty, but missed him, and the." a peasant youth made a rush at him und caught hlni by the legs, bringing him to the ground.. He was immediately arrested. Shuravleft's record of crime is almost Incredible.. He is known to have perpe trated at least seven murders and to have been concerned In fifteen armed robberies, twelve church thefts, and 200 other crimes most of which were commltteed In, tbjd vicinity of Moscow. For years he has eluded all the . efforts of the police to capture htm, thanks mainly to his genius In, assuming impenetrable disguises. He is only 30 year old. , tilrl on Long; Bide.

Many Sentenced to Death. After sitting- with closed doors In St. Petersburg, a court martial has concluded the trial of sixty-eight persons charged with armed robberies and other crimes.

MARSEILLES. June 25. (Special Dis patch to The Bee.)

In well Informed circles, however, this of ficial declaration of the kaiser s return to health la taken with a good deal of allow ance. Despite the popular belief to the con trary, the kaiser has never enjoyed robust health, und he has always hud to take the greatest care of himself. The strain of the funeral of King Edward told rather sev erely upon the emperor, since he had not been In the hr-.t of health for some little time previously. The utmost care Is taken to prevent tha true state of affairs becoming known to the outside world, but those few personages who have seen the kaiser since his return to his capital have been greatly struck with his careworn expression and the ex treme Irritability that he displays. Several consultations of the court physicians hava taken place, but the real nature of hla majps'.y's complaint Is very carefully con cealed. Under these circumstances It I not surprising that tho most disquieting; rumors are afloat In Berlin at the present moment.

Dr. Koch, the famous bacteriologist. whose reath occurred recently, was one of mot remarkable of sclent ts of recent years. He was known as "tne man wttn out a personality" on account of hla cold, scientific nature. Everything with him waa a matter for research, and he seemed almost devoid of human emotions. It was, of course, as a bacteriologist that he achieved his fame and ' he caused a tremendous sensation some time ago when he stated that he had discovered tho bacillus of consumption. Dr. Koch had an enthusiastic admirer In the kaiser, and It Is said that It was due to the kaiser's In fluence that the doctor announced his dis covery to the world, although at the time the lymph that was to work such miracle was not absolutely perfected. Unfortun ately, the wonderful "cure" for consump tion was proved to be no miracle-worker after all, and the great white acourge la still a terror to the human race. Of late years Dr. Koch had devoted him self to the study of sleeping sickness. Ha spent a long time experimenting In East Africa, and came to the conclusion that the disease was spread by a small Insect which lived principally on crocodiles' blood. The doctor believed that! the dis ease would be practically stamped out If all the crocodiles were destroyed. While In Africa Dr. Koch's fame -waa ao great that the natives would send mes sages hundreds of miles to ask ' him to visit their' sick friends.

With a gasp of astonishment the mer chant replied, "You can stand on your hoad: before you get any money out of me." No aooner were the worda out of hla mouths than, to his bewilderment which waa shared by tha other guests In the crowded room the burgomaster carefully placed hla hands on the carpet and, with the mayoral legs gracefully elevated In the air, passed; in an Inverted attitude out of the room. ' Returning a moment later he claimed; his $1,250 fee for the performance and wag handed a check by the amazed merchant. Hchool of salesmanship.
