It Has Received the Ugliest Knock
►

•
In Its ij.istory.
A despatch from Parie says : It Is
learned (hut the C,,mniissary-General's
defied of the statement That Chicago
foodstuffs aro sapplie:d to the French
army is incorrect. The fact is that
20,th00 cans of this food were landed at
Havre, and sent thence to Bordeaux,
where the meat was rocanned, marked
with French labels. rind sold as French.
One of the largest Paris caterers says
that his customers were refusing to
take American canned goods. Conse-
quently he Intends to cease importing
teen(.
Ogaden Armour, in an interview on
Wednesday. said that, whatever might
happen elsewhere, his yards are above
reproach. Nevertheless. ho acknowledg-
ed that the trade had received the
ugliest knock in its History.
JOHN BURNS TAKES A (HAND.
A despatch from London says : Tho
Chronicle says that Mr. John Burns, as
president of the Local Government
Board, has been closely watching de-
velopments in the canned (neat matter.
As soon as the aspect became serious
he summoned a meeting of the nodical
health officers of the London County
Council, the city corporation, and the
28 metropolitan boroughs, and consulted
with them as to whether anything fur-
ther could bo done to secure an adequate
Inspection of canned goods. Ile also
Instructed Chief Medical Officer Buchan-
an to prepare a report. This has been
done, and the report will be available
to the members when Parliament meets
next week after the Whitsuntide holi-
day.
It is stated that steps are being taken
to get the Foreign Office to take diplo-
matic action in the matter.
IMSEASED FROZEN HOGS.
A despatch from London says: Mr.
Terrett, chief meat inspector at the
Smithfield market, says that numbers
of frozen hogs arrive from the United
States in a shockingly dlseesed condi-
tion. yet bearing the Government inspec-
tion
nspecttion seal. He does not believe that any
Government Inspector would be fogdlsh
enough to pnss hngs in such condition.
The wonder is hew the seals get attach-
ed to them. Mr. Terrett adds that it is
Impossible for the inspectors hero to
discover while the hogs are frozen
whether or nut they are healthy. Buyers
aro warned that they purchase at their
own risk . !f, when the hogs are (hawed,
they are found to be diseased they are
immediately seized.
A ned•spaper here sent a reporter to
crake a surprise visit to the makers of
canned delicacies and inspect their pro-
cesses. One leading firm accepted the
challenge with alacrity, and passed the
ordeal to the utmost satisfaction of the
reporter, who was regaled with various
tid-(lits. Another firm asked the news-
paper representative to call at a more
convenient time, while another abso-
lutely refused "lo have anything what-
ever to do with any newspaper."
WOULD IMPOSE EMBARGO.
A despatch from Ottawa says: Dr.
Chisholm (Easy Huron) will call the at-
tention of Parliament to the shocking
revelations in connection with the sani-
tary conditions of the Chicago packing-
houses, and will ask if it is the intention
of the Government to prohibit the im-
portation of canned meats and (neat ex-
tracts from the United States, not only
in the interests of tho public health, but
also to assist the farming, stock -raising
and packing industries of Canada.
LOSSES WILL BE GREAT.
A despatch from Kansas City, Mo.,
says : It is estimated that the business
done by the pocking houses located here
will suffer to the extent of $10,000,000
as a result of the agitation in connection
with the President's crusade against
"doctored" meats. Reports of the various
plants seen on Thursday agreed with
the estimates in the telegraphic do-
spatches that the business of the whole
country would show a loss of at least
$150,000,000.
"1 don't think," said Charles W. Ar-
mour on Thursday, "the estimate of
$150,000,000 loss to the packers 1n the
whole country is exaggerated. This is
only a shrinkage of about ten per cent.
on the total volume of the business
done, which, I think, is easily one and
one-half billion dollars In all branches
of the trade. We have complaints al-
ready from Englund that the canned
meat trade is decreasing. it Is easy to
scare people five thousand miles away."
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS.
Messrs. A. B. Ingram and iI. N. Kiltson
to Act With Mr. Leitch.
A Toronto despatch says : Two of the
Commissions made necessary by the
enactments of the last session of the
Ontario Legislative Assembly aro now
complete and ready to commence the
labors which will be required of them.
These are the new Hydro -Electric Com-
mission, whose functions will enable the
municipalities of the province to secure
electric power at an economical rate,
and the Railway and Municipal Board,
which hes been for so long expected.
At the close of a somewhat protracted
meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday,
Premier Whitney announced that it had
been decided that the former body
should be composed of Hon. Adan Beek,
of London, the Minister who has been
so closely identified with the power
question of Ontario; !Inn. J. S. Ilendrle,
of Hamilton, and Cecil B. Smith, who Is
now chairman of the Tenhisknming and
Northern Ontario Railway Commission.

turally be the chairman of the newly
founded organization. it has not boon
decided as yet what salary will be paid

miral Rojestvensky, who commanded
the Russian fleet et the battle of the Sea
of Japan, and the officers of the torpedo
Loat destroyer Bedovi for surrendering

dictment is a crushing arraignment of
the demoralization and cowardice of the
officers, contrasting their conduct with
that of the officers of the torpedo boot

KNEW HOW TO BE A QIIEEN
King Alfonso's Version of the Bomb
Outrage.
The Madrid correspondent of the Lon- Queen, who, in descending from the
dun Telegraph sends what he claims lei royal carriage, soiled her tram and
King Alfonso's own account of 11►e bona) stioes with lee blood of the horses, with
outrage as communicated by the King which the carriage was sprinkled.
to courtiers a few hours after the ex-
plosion. The following are some points
of the story: Their !Majesties were !n-
clining to the left side of their carriage,
acknowledging the salutation of ladies
on the grand stand in front of the
Church of Santa Mania, when suddenly
there was a noise close to the right fore
wheel like a sledgehammer striking the
stone pavement. Then there was a ter-
rific detonation like the discharge of a
large calibre gun.
THE CARRIAGE TREMBLED.
like a strip tossed by waves. A strong
acid odor rose, a white flash like light-
ning was seen beneath the carriage, arid
a noise was heard resembling the rasp-
ing of hundreds of files. The carriage
was enveloped with smoke so dense
that the King was unable to see the
street and could scarcely distinguish Queen.
Alfonso did not feel the last trace of
injury, but with anxious thought that
the Queen might be hurt, he took her
head between his hands, kissed her
and asked: "Are you wounded?" Look-
ing fixedly at her husband, the Queen
The King then noticed tho dead and
wounded by the side of tho carriage,
and exclaimed in a tone of reprehension:
"What a terrible misfortune! Whet in-
famy! \\ hal great wickedness must Lo
required to she'll so much innocent
blood!" The King, then giving his urns
to the Queen, tried to lead her so she
would not see the y;aims, but this was
useless.
Despite the panic, the people on the
balconies cheered the King and Quern.
The former made signs to show that
1 oth were uninjured. After walking
twenty steps to the Carriage of Respect,
the King, after having seen the Queen
inside, turned to the equerries and said:
"Co very slowly to the Palace." After
ht had entered lite carriage ho thought
the Queen might have been hurt and
was concealing it. Ile unxiously asked:
"'Poll me the truth. Are you wound-
