There is a difference of 1,101.878 head to be supplied before the receipts of the current year shall have equaled those ot last year. Analaysis of stocks of cut meats at the five markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph and Milwaukee show that on July 31 of the curent year there were on hand 209,094.087 pounds. On the corresponding date of 1901 the combined stock consisted of 279.1,345 pounds. Krelght receipts at 121 points on the great lakes for the month of July, 1901. were 7,004.685 tons, and for the correspond in g period of 1902 there were received 7.52,848 tons at 144 different ports. Shipments from -VA different ports for July, 1901. were 4 7,031.357 tons, and for 1902. 7.426.548 tons from 217 ports.

Receipts of coal and coke at St. Louis for the seven months ending with July of this year amounted to 2.819,613 tons, compared with 2,419,943 tons for the corresponding period of 1901. Receipts at Chicago for seven months ending with July show a total of 5,138,062 tons this year, compared with 5.228.697 tons last year. The ConM llsville weekly coke output still averages somewhat higher than during 1901. SUNK BY GERMANS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. ) that report there is, in the opinion of the othcial3 here who have kept in touch witn affairs, little likelihood of any action by the State Department, and, indeed, judging from the character of the instructions transmitted through the Navy Department to Comamnder McCrea, of the Machias. there will be little disposition to question the Ju&tice of the treatment accorded Admiral Killick. The United States naval officer was specially instructed to prevent interference with commerce, and in the execution of those orders he was obliged to warn the rebel admiral that he must not search foreign shipping, else the Machias would use her force against him. The threat was effectual only so lorjtg as the Machias remained Haitien waters, and as soon as she headed northward Killick held up the German steamer Markomannla and seized her cargo of arms. While the State Department has not answered the German view that Killick was a pirate, it has. on the basis of its own Instructions to Commander MtCr, never admitted his right to int rfere with foreign shipping. It, Dowerar, did entertain a doubt as to whether Killick was not privileged to operate as he did in the case of the Markomannia, provided the seizure was made within the three-mile limit and so within Haitien water . However, any question that might arise as to the legality of the action of the commander of the Panther is one that the State Department probably will regard as solely between the government of Germany and of Haiti, and as the latter government already has lnonuced Killh k as a pirate, artfl had in'sought Commander McCrea to seize his ship the Crete it is certain that it will maid no issue in this matter. As there has been no attempt on the part of the German commander to seize nny Haitien port, of course the Monroe doctrine cannot be regarded as involved in this incident, which, after all. in the opinion of officials, may tend to a speedy settlement of the Internecine troubles of Haiti. The administration's view of the affair is It is one whose adjustment must be worked out as between Germany and the Quasi government with which the former is in dispute. The United States' interests so far cannot be regarded as Jeopardized or Interfered with in any way. The fact that there has been a brush between Germany and the revolutionary element in a country constantly embroiled in Internecine troubles, so far as can now be foreseen, will not result In action by this government, unless the Incident should develop into an attempt, which Is now considered improbable, to acquire territory. In that event the United States would promptly intervene. The Incident, it Is stated, is much less serious from a diplomatic point of view than if the actual government of Haiti were one of the principals Instead of the Firminlst government. President Had Nothtna; to ftuy. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Sept. 7.-As soon aa the Associated Press dispatch from Cape Haitien waa received here to-udht it waa

shown to President Roosevelt, while he was at church. A reporter latjr visited the Read House, where the President Is stopping. The President had retired, but Secretary Cortelyou stated that the President had nothing to say about the matter at the present time. . INCIDETS OF THE WAR.

How Commander le( rea Put an End to the tape Haltlen Blockade. The present revolution in Haiti started in the month of April, this year, and General Tiresias Simon Sam, President of the Haitian Republic, resigned his office and left the Island In May. For the last two months American interests in Haiti have been looked after by the United States gunboat Machias, Commander McCrea. It recently developed that at least six European nations had confided the protection of their interests in Halt! wholly to the United States naval force In Haitian waters. Admiral Killick recently declared Cape Haitian to be blockaded, but this blockade was admitted to be inefficient and was abandoned by the admiral after Commander McCrea had made certain repr mentations concerning It. In a letter to the Firmlst admiral. Admiral McCrea Informed him that he was charged with the protection of British. French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Cuban Interests, as well as those of the United St.ites, and that he would prevent a second bombardment of Cape Haitien without due notice. In reply to this letter Admiral Killick wrote Commander McCrea, promising to observe the usages of civilized warfare in case it became necessary to back with his guns the military forces operating near Cape Haitien, and called his attention to a decree ordering the port of Cape Haitien in a state of blockade. Commander McCrea communicated the fact of the blockade of Caoe Haitien to the foreign consuls there and advised them to make a formal protest, which they did. It then became apparent that the blockade was ineffectual, as an American schooner had come in reporting no blockade. When this fact had been established. Commander McCrea proceeded to Cagnette, found the Crete-a-Pierrot in that port and sent Admiral Killick a letter in which he said that the government of the United States considered the blockade of Cape Haitien not effective even as a "de facto" blockade, and that the United States denied him. Admiral Killick, the right to search or visit any American or foreign vessel attempting entrance to the harbor of Cape Haitien. To this communication Admiral Killick replied that he appreciated the conditions and admitted the Inefficiency of the blockade, which he abandoned. The blockade Incident was thus closed and the Machias sailed Aug. 30 from Gonaives for Boston. The Crete-a-Pierrot soon after stopped the German steamer Markomannla, sent an armed force on board and took possession of the war munitions she carried, after Commander McCrea had told Admiral Killick that he had no right to visit or search any foreign vessel attempting to enter Cape Haitien and after the admiral had admitted the blockade to be ineffectual. There are three candidates for the presidency of Haiti, Callthenes Fouchard, Seneque Monplasir Pierre and M. Firmin. The Firminlsts have been active and In some cases successful in their engagements with the forces of the provisional government. M. Firmln is considered bv many people to have the best chance of gaining the presidency. In 1S89 he was minister of finance and foreign affairs In the Cabinet of President Hyppolite. He directed the negotiations with Admiral Gherardl, who had been sent by the Washington government to try to obtain a lease of the Mole St. Nicholas, and he succeeded in nhowing that the Constitution of Haiti forbade the alienation of any portion of the territory of the republic. Under President Sam in 1897 M. Firmin was also minister of finance and foreign affairs, and in 1900 minister of Haiti to France, where he was decorated with the ribbon cf the .Legion of Honor. LATEST THING IN DANCES "CORONATION GAVOTTE" WILL HI LF SOCIETY THIS WINTER. Created ly a Terre Haute MasterWalts Mingled with the Minuet 3Iovements Are Stately. NEW YORK, Sept. 7. The dancing masters, while in session here, decreed that the "Coronation Gavotte" should be the main thing In the way of dances this fall and winter. Debutantes will delight in It, for it is a stately dance. The somewhat blase society devotees will revel In it because it is more restful than the romping twostep, which has had such a sway for half a docade. Those who glory in the enchanting swing of the slow-gliding waltz will find renewed pleasure in the ballroom with the "coronation gavotte" as a pastime, for it mingles the minuet with the "mazy waltz" to a charm. You take your (partner UDon the floor, and, while the music Is droning along with some dreamy waltz, you bow to the right and the left and describe a semi-circle with the tip of your patent leather shoe. This is all mere preliminary. Your partner has been doing the same all the while, v ith many a glance from one side to the other, like a Spanish senorlta when the orchestra plays "La Gitana" at the carnivals of Madrid. Then you take your partner by the hand. She steps around lightly to the other lde and smiles and bows some more. You are supposed to recognize these bows by "courtesylng" a little yourself. Next you place your arm around your partner as in the old-fashioned waltz, holding her elbow so as to allow her arm from the elbow down to her finger tips to rest lightly upon your arm above the elbow. This is a little more loving than the old style of waltz, where you simply take the girl's hand and fiy around as if you were pumping on an old-fashioned farm pump handle, but it is far more comfortable and certainly causes the young woman to look as it she was at least on speaking terms with her partner. A few glides at the waltz step brings you back again to the minuet part of the "coronation gavutte, " and you do some more smiling and bowing, just as if you had a lacfc handkerchief in one hand, a snuffbox in the other and a white wig on juur head, saying nothing of the knickerbockers and white satin slippers. The "coronation gavotte" is offered to society this year by Mr. Oskar Duenweg, a dancing master of Terie Haute, Ind. Anothtr new one that has been passed favorably by the convention is to be known as the "Waltz Dip." Now, don't think this the old regulation "Boston Dip," which sent you dropping to the floor three times after several glides of the waltz step. It is quite different. You and your partner take two glide steps as If waltzing, that is to say. the well-known motion forward and backward, and then -he lady glides off to the side with an oblique step, which, further than to make her appear extremely coquettish, enables her to show her tiny foot from beneath a perfei t Niagara of lingerie. Recovertng your composure, you follow the lady and both of you. as if by Inspiration, make two slight dips, which bring you back to position again, ready to repeat. R. W. Vlzay. president of the association, who is dancing instructor at the I'nited M Military Academy, said: "I approve of the recent turn in dancing. Everything now is looking backward to our old dignified and stately dances. There is less of the hilarious romping around the fioor, auch as the two-step furnished the young people in America and Great Britain during the war campaigns recently just get a band started oi; a march and you would see the boys and girls fiy away on a two-step as if they were all skipping off to war. Quite iifTerent from now on. The dances that are being approved now by the teach ers of the art are such as bring back Into piav the old forms of dancing a snatch here and there of the minuet, the gavotte, the waltz. After all. there is nothing more thrilling than the old slow-glide waltz, and IH i gradually coming back to rule society at all big balls." Will Meet In Cincinnati. W I HON A, Minn., Sept. 7 Announcement waa ma!- by Irwin Shepard, secretary of the National Educational Association, that the department of superintendence, nurabertni 1.406 or more of the leading educators of the United States, will meet in Cincinnati, O.. Feb. 24 to 27 next. Nothing half so fine aa Mrs. Austin's Pancake Vlout. Ask your greyer for it.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 7 Indianapolis stepped Into first place to-day and In doing so drubbed two local pitchers. Bailey, the star left-hander of the Columbus club, had his position on the slab made untenable In two innings. Hogriever, in the presence of a fine crowd of cheering fans, put a damper on the home team's aspirations at the outset by a fine hit to left field. Fox essayed to sacrifice, but Bailey chose to throw to second instead of taking the chance at first. The ball was wide by ten feet and Hogriever was perched on third when Fox safely landed at second, the ball having gone to the outfield. This was the commencement of a terrific fusillade that extended down the line to Kelium, with a brief interval filled with Coulter's out at home and a good throw by Vlox that caught Woodruff at the plate. Kellum had made as neat a hit as any of his compatriots and when the inning ended six runs had been scored. Columbus had demonstrated an inability to hit Kellum in the first inning so the game was over at the finish of the initial inning. On hits by Coulter, Kihm and O'Brien the visitors made three in the second. Another error by Bailey and a juggle by Hopke contributed to this result. In the third Turner allowed Fox to be safe, after Hogriever had singled, and Kihm's single scored both men. Kuhn's triple and a wild pitch after Matthews had been given a base on balls scored two more. Bailey was relieved after the second Inning. But the visitors went after Curtis and landed enough more runs to make the score too safe for argument. Columbus scored In the seventh on a hit by McFarlan arid double by Viox. In the ninth Columbus scored on a single by Turner and safeties by Viox and Knoll. Kellum was invincible at all other times in the game. Score: Colum. R.H.O.A.E.t Indpls. R.H.O.A.E.

Colombian Rebels Won at Aajna Dnlce End of a Long; Slea;e. PANAMA, Colombia. Sept. 7.-The governor general, Morales Berti, who has been besieged by the insurgent forces under General Herrera at Agua Dulce probably has been defeated. The government gunboats returned here last night from an exploring expedition. Officers of the expedition report having landed at Yeguala, where the insurgent garrison was defeated after a slight skirmish. A few insurgent prisoners were captured, and it Is from these men that the news of the government's defeat at Agua Dulce has been obtained. General Berti had been besieged since Ju'y 28. The troops of his command must have suffered terribly from lack of supplies during the last days of the siege ana it is said they were compelled to tat horse flesh. EXGLISH ROYAL CE.EALOGY. After the Manner of the Bible Geneulogles. New York Christian Advocate. The title "King of the English" was first assumed by Elbert in 828. just forty-three years before Alfred the Great ascended the throne. Richard I was the first to all himself King of England. Every King from Wllltam to Henry II called himself King of the English. Up to the time of Henry VIII Kings were addressed as "your Grace," or "your Highness." bu; bj 1527 this King assumed the title of "your Majesty." For 432 years the King of France was a title also borne by the monarch of England. When Elizabeth became Queen of England she was also legally "King of France,"' and was so styled. Henry VIII was the first King to assume the title of King of Ireland. When James VI of Scotland became Jameg I of England he took the title of King of Great Britain. Here follows a genealogy of the Kings and Queens of England written after the manner of the Bible genealogies. It was written during the reign of Queen Victoria. It now, of course, includes Edward VII It is complete back to William the Conqueror: Edward VII, who Is the son of Victoria. who was the niece of William IV. who was the brother of George IV, who was the son of George III. who was the grandson of George II. who was the son f George, who was the cousin of Anne, who was the sister-in-law of William III. who was the son-in-law of James II. who was the brother of rharles II. who was the aon of Charles I, ho was the son of James I. who was the cousin of Elizabeth, who was the half-sister of Mary, who was the halfsister of Edward VI. who was th son of Henry VIII, who was the son of Henrv VII. who was the cousin of Richard III. who was the uncle of Edward V, who was the son of Edward V. who was the eousttl of Henry VI, who was the son of Henry V, who was the son of Henry IV, who was the cousin of Richard II. who was the grandson of Edward III. who was the son of Edward 11. who was the son of Edward L who was the son of Henry III. who was the aon of John, who was the hmther of Richard I. who was the son of Henry II. wno was a eousm or tepnen. wno was the cousin of henry l. wno was the brother ! of William Rufus, who was the aon of William the ronqueror. wno was the son of his mother.

- . . m . 1. Thrall cept when forced to eaL STATE FAIR OF 1852. Some Reminiscences of the First Exhibition Fifty Years Aaro. To the Editor of the Indtanapoh Journal: Fifty years ago. when I had Just passed the twenty-third anniversary of my birth- 1 day, and while teaching school in the bluegrass region of Kentucky, I conceived tho idea of taking Horace Greeley's advice to "go West and grow up with tho country " But where to go was a subject that demanded much consideration. The first Indiana state fair was about to be held at Indianapolis, and I finally determined to visit It for the purpose of gaining some knowledge of the condition, resources and prospects of the State. I hsd been warned against it as a place of swamps, ague, impenetrable forests, deadly fevers and big graveyards; but I wanted to see for myself. The day of the commencement of ths fair I reached Indianapolis over the Madison & Indianapolis Railroad, then the only finished public highway of the kind in the State. Indianapolis was. at that time, a place of some 7,.u0 Inhabitants, the houses scattered along the National road from White river eastward for, perhaps, a mile and a half. There were only two or three small hotels in the city, and they were all overrun with guests from abroad before my arrival, so It was doubtful where I was to find lodging. In strolling up and down Washington street I happened to meet an old chum about my owe age who had come to Indianapolis under the sam kind of impulse that had brought me there. Each was glad to see the other, and we stuck together closer than two brothers. Late in the afternoon, having yot found no place to spend the night, we hailed a farmer who was going home from the fair with his family In a large farm wagon, and asked him if he could not take us home with him and furnish us lodging. "Certainly," he said, "jump in and we will take oar of you." And he and his good wife did take care of us in the most hospitable manner. The next morning we asked what our bills were, and he said 26 cents apiece for supper, lodging and breakfast would satisfy him. We would gladly have paid him four times aa much If he had demanded it. I do not now recall his name, but he lived not far from the deaf and dumb asylum, which was then some df?.tance out of town. After breakfast we accompanied him and his family to the fair, whtre my companion and myself strolled from place to place, during the whole day, getting a glimpse of everything on exhibition. The floral hall, if it could be properly called by that name, for thc?re was not a flower in it. was full of domestic goods which the Hoosler housewives had made with their own hands from the raw wool, cotton and flax, into the most durable and beautiful fabrics. At that day almost all the clothing worn by the farming class, both men and women, was manufactured at home, and contained no shoddy. The housewives then were yet like those in the days of Solomon they sought wool and flax, and worked willingly with their hands they laid their hands to the spindle and held the distaff. There was considerable farm machinery on exhibition, but it waa all rude, and so far as lightening farm labor was concerned It was not much better than that In use a hundred years before. Riding plows and cultivators, horse hay rakes, horse corn cutters, husking machines, shredders, corn planters, self-binders, hay loaders, etc., had not then been even dreamed of. But the most curious object to the young wanderers from Kentucky was the great crowd of people, so different in dress, talk and mathods of doing things from what they had ever seen before. The farmers and their families had come in th ir farm wagons from all the adjofnlng counties, bringing supplies of food, blankets, cooking utensils etc. They had a real "outing," as we call it now. Hundreds of women were dressed in plain home-made fabrics and sunbonnets, and the men in Jeans pants and red flannel shirts without vests or coats. Their suspenders were knit by girls at home out of good strong yarn, and were more servlcable than any we can get now. Another feature of the fair that excited our curiosity was the great number of women with babies in their arms. We met them wherever we went. We had never seen anything like it In Kentucky, for there the small children were always left at home with the aervani To us the first Indiana State fair was a veritable baby show, and the only one we had ever seen. But these babies, born In log cabins, were all rosy, hearty, laughing little fellows. To-day they are stalwart, intelligent men and women, and they have largely helped to make Indiana one of the greatest and most prosperous States in the Union. There was no racing, and the stock on exhibition was very inferior compared with that of the present day. On the entire grounds there were not as many carriages and buggies as one would find at a Sunday church service in an out-of-town church at the present daj The fair was held on a tract of land belonging to the State, just above the old wooden bridge over White river, on the National road. It is safe to assert that the progress Indiana has made in wealth, and in material, mental and social development, since her . first State fair, fifty years ago. will ecel that made by any other commonwealth In the world, in a like period of time. Coincident with this fair, which called attention to the wonderful resources of the State, was the inauguration of our great system of free schools, which has made it almoftt impossible to find within our boundary a man or woman, or even a child ten years of age, who cannot read and write. From my observations in 1852 I believed that Indiana was bound to have a great future, but the wildest dreams of my youthful fancy have ben far surpassed by what has actually taken place. P. 8. KENNEDY. Crawfordsville. Sept. 6. A Sure Thine;. Philadelphia Record. Judge Pennypacker, In a public' address, once predicted a certain popular movement as sure to occur within a given time. A friend asked the Judge if It were not rash to make a positive Mutement regarding a specific date for any occurrence, arguing that nothing is certain. In reply the judge told of a Celtic rook who had asked m r mistress one Monday for leave of absence the following Sunday to attend her brother's funeral. "Why. ' exclaimed the mistress, "this is only Monday! Surely, nobody's going to keep a dead body a whole week!" "He's not dead yet, mum," explained the cook. "No? Well, he may die to-day or he may live a month. No doctor can safely say that a person will die at such a time that a day may be set for the funeral." "The doctor's nothing to do with IL, mum." was the further explanation. "Ol m sure Sunday'II be all roight; f r he's sintinced to be hung Friday." The Theatrical Indostrr. New York Commercial Every hall in town, every theater stage and some attics and basements are engaged by th.e theatrical companies for rehearsals of new plays which are to be put on the road this fall. Few persons outside the profession realise the expense of making ready a good play, m appreciate the business that it brings for dressmakers, tailors and all the trades that fit out the individual from, head to foot in the latest fashions. Then come tne railroads and hotels for a share in the managers' receipts. N -papers receive columns of advertising! The artists who paint the scenery are weli paid. Musicians are In demand for the many orchestras. Express companies get their share. Billposters, painters and carpenters and a hundred minor interests are benefited. The Unman Ear.
