PRESIDENCY INVOLVED Washington Scents Politics in Attitude of Beef Trust." Whatever may be tbe fculi of the arbitration talked of between tlie beef companies and the Amalgamated Meat and Butcher Woikmen of America, Brooklyn will bare to face famine prliee for all Linda of meat Moud.ty morning and thia condition will prevail for aouia lays- To tbe poor people condition, -probably will have become eery trleoiua by But-urday, for there are only a few cara of beef in eight and to-day'a abipmenta at Western point, are aaid to bo merely nominal. Berernl of the representative, of the firm, against whom the atrike is directed the Armour, Cudahy, Nelson and Nntionul, which usually rece'iva from two to five cars of mest every morning admitted to-day that they had received advices that nothing was put on rail for them yesterday. This means that shipment of meat' in any quantity from the West bns ceased. Even should shipments be resumed early best week, consumers here necessarily will have to face a blank of from four to live days or, possibly, a week, for the refrigerator cars take that time to reach Brooklyn from Western points. Prices' of All Other Provisions Ad-vanes.

Following the Strike. With the advance of from one to three cents a pound pn all kinds of beef prod ucts, came indications also of a general rise In the prices of other provisions, including eggs, butter and cheese, with an Indication that the advance possibly might extend to bread and fruit. Eggs rose one cent this morning. Aa tbe quantity of fish brought into the markets of New York and Brooklyn Friday Is always about the same it is hot erpected that any change will be made in prices by dealers dr restaurants and hotels to-morrow. As regards their beef purchases some of the hotels are protected by contracts and prices are the same all the year round.

None of tbe price lists were changed at any of the popular restaurants to-day. But four cars of.beef and mutton arrived at the Fort Greene place siding of the Long Island Railroad's Flatbush avenue station this morning. From twenty to thirty cars usually ariive there Thursday, it being the great distributing point for Brooklyn. A goodly quantity of tbe meat was for Levy Dablmann and the independent houses not affected by the strike. The beef for the firm came from St.

Louis. It was the only house that seemed to be doing a brisk business up till noon. Even at that hour the big refrigerating house of the firm was 'well stocked with sides. An advance of a cent or two on yesterday was being charged. 1 How To-Days Prices Compare with Those of Saturday.

The representative of a reliable house gave the following as the prices ruling at noon to-day, as compared with before the strike: Saturday. Prime beef, Ioo, ribs. Native-cattle 09 Texas cattle 06 Hinds, ribs 12 Chucks 05 1 Veal, prime calves 12 Lamb .10 The "Citizens informant as well as all the representn lives of all the packing bouses A-ere quite uneasy about the strike situation "We got nothing from the West this morning, he said. "We usually receive twenty-five cattle, at least, every morning. Farmers on Long Island Will Jump Provision Prices, "This strike, the same man said, "is going to affect the price of food products all along the line.

Eggs, I understand, are up two cents this morning. Talking among the others, it seemed that-the staving off of famine prices for a few days at least seems now to he an Ifln- possibility. AH questions to-day pointed to on inquiry as to wbat limit will be reached, in other words, bow tight will be the squeeze. Nearly ail will depend upon the home supply. Some of the independent companies have slaughter-houses in the city, and from these a certain amount of fresh beef will on the market every morning.

When it is said, however, that the weekly supply reaching the Tort Greene place aiding from the West, each week averages 2,000 head of cattle, an idea may be obtained bow email a figure the home supply of fiieata cut in the supply of the city. I One independent firm, Isaacs A Levy, das doing business much the same as usual, this forenoon, at Fort Greene place. At the slaughterhouse on Hudson avenue, about 75 cattle a day ere slaughtered, A little advance was being asked in prices on account of higher prices for cattle, it was claimed by the firm. A good idea could not be obtained as to what extent the local farmers on Long Island will take advantage of the strike. Ons thing was very clear, the strike will Continued on Third faceA NEW BRITAIN, form July Louis E.

NEW CHWANG, July firing ha been hesrd to the southeast day and night for several days past. This is taken to indicate that the Russians are offering stubborn resistance to the Japanese advance. It is reported that the Japanese have occupied Yin-Kow. CHE-FOO, July 14. Private advices from New Chwang indicate that the long-expected battle at some point between Kai-Chew and Taschikow is now in progress.

I'he forces arrayed against General Kuro-patkin probably number- in the neighborhood of 125,000 men. General Oku, with 75.000 men, has been pressing the Russians from the south, having driven them from Kal-Cbow, and General Nodzu has been advancing rapidly from the eastward, and yesterday was reported so close to the point of hostilities that little doubt is felt that his 50.000 men are now co-operating with those of Oku. The fight, beyond doubt, will prove a terrific one, and may prove to be the first large strike toward the end of the war. Kuro-patkin is in a bad way, situated as he is, for not only has he Generals Oku and Nodzu opposed to him, but General with another large force is to the northeast of him, and might readily advance, fas enough to cut off the Russian retreat toward Mukden. LONDON, July 14.

Neither confirmation nor denial has been received from an official source to the report that Port Arthur has fallen. The report which preceded it, that tie Japanese had been repulsed in a desperately-fought battle and bad lost in the neighborhood of 30,000, killed and wounded, also Is without confirmation. It is probable, howevef, that the Russian position at tie Port is fast becoming untenable. One report, received this moraing from St. Petersburg, contnins a rumor that the general staff has received a dispatch from General Seotssel, commanding the Russian forces at the Port, which states that the prospect of bolding the place has been lessened by the fact that the Japanese have mounted large siege guns oq the Taku mountains.

These heights overlook the fortifications, and from this point the destruction of the forts and the silencing of the guns by tbe Japanese would be a matter of far greater ease than an attack from the level ground. The report adds that General Stoessel had all along expected aid from General Kuropatkin, and now that the latter is having his hnnds full to the north there ia little hope tit the beieaguredgarriaon the Port holding out. Russian Ships Passing Dardanelles Equipped for War. ODESSA, Russia, July 14. It is learned that the Russian volunteer fleet vessels, Petersburg and Smolensk, which passed through the Dardanelles, both carried guns and ammunition, two pieces of heavy ordnance and a number of quickfierers.

These were obscured. The cargo of the vessels was ostensibly coal, but the smallest kind of an examination would have revealed the war fittings of the vessels. ST. PETERSBURG, July 14. A dispatch received to-day reports that a body of Japanese which began a march on Taschi-Kao has returned to Kai-Chow.

July 14 -Oom Tsui Kruger, former President of the Tranavael Republic, died at Clareus, dn tbe Swiss Canton of Vaud, at 3 oclock thia morning. Death was due to heart weakness resulting from an attuik of pneumonia. Ha had been ill for a month past, and last Monday lost eonaciouaneaa. Hit daughter and son-in-law wera at his bedalde when the aud cams, but be never recognized them after losing eonaciouaneaa onWed-nesday. After death the body immediately waa embalmed and later in the day the remains Will be placed in a temporary vault, pending the result of an application to Great Britain for permission to take the body to the Transvaal for final interment.

It was not until Saturday night that the former President became seriously ill. although he bad shown many sign of weakness in the past few weeks. On Saturday he attended to bis affairs, hut on Sunday was so ill he could not leave hie bed. Beside his daughter. Mrs.

Eloff, and his aon-in-law his physician. Dr. Hey maun, and his secretary, Predal, were in the house when death came. Tbe request to the English Government is in accordance with a wish which Kruger often expressed that he migbt be buried heside his late wife. Military Spirit Animated Him Early ia HU Life.

Stephen J. Paul Kruger, the lion of South Africa," was one of the most picturesque figures of the last century. A -man of intense religious temperament, he had with it a rare excessive and martial ability, a wonderful mental power and an indomitable will, -and these quail tie were what raised him from a humble grassroofed cottage of a frontier graziCr.to the Occupation of the Presidential chair in the Transvaal Republic. While the life of the former President was filled with stirring incidents it was not till war with England broke out that he manifested those sterling qualities which won for him a name which will ever be at the head of the list. He was born at Colesburg, Cape Colony, Oet.

16. 1825. At 11 he worked with his father on the frontier, at 14, having reached the years of majority, according to the standard of his country, he joined the army and fought in' the punitive expedition agninst the Matcbele. From that time on, his life was military one. At 16 he was promoted to the post of field cornet, and a few years later became a commandant.

Forced to Flee From HU Country to Europe. In 1883 the choice of his country, the South African Republic, fell on him, and he was elected President. This post he held until 1900, when the fortunes of war turned against his land, he was forced to flee from the country and take refuge in Holland. Ha remained either at Hil-versum, Mentone or Utrecht, until a short time ago, when he traveled to Clar-ens, in search of health, but only to end his life disheartened, weary, and full of years. The former President was married three times.

His last wife died in the early part of J901, and it is said that this sorrow in his declining years hastened1 the end of his own life. 'Oom Paul was a man of great kindliness of nature, yet there was in hie makeup an insurmountable obstinacy which made the Boer war the long-drawn-out struggle which it proved to be. Time and again, when British victories were scored, the other leaders of the forlorn South African hope willingly would have given np and surrendered to the inevitable, but Kruger, qn esch occasion, protested, and the result, was that the miserable war which had degenerated into guerrilla fighting by the burghers continued. When: finally, the Boers, beaten, homeless and heartbroken, laid down their arms, it. wxs even then in direct opposition to wishes of this old man who had from afar.kept the.

wjir.ppirit alWc all hope was dead. Kruger wns heartbroken with the losa of his country and with the end of the war began rapidly to fail and with the exception bf a few reappearances of the old lion-like1 spirit, the remainder of his life was spent in continual sorrow and longing for what might hare been. In the latter part of 1902 Kroger issued what he termed his memoirs, and which gave a good index into the irradical hatred for the British and -all things English, which characterized his later years. In these he described the late Cecil Rhode as one of the most unscrupulous character that ever existed. To Lord Milner he referred as the tool of Chamberlain, and concluded to-day he enjoys the satisfaction mf having turned South Africa into a wilderness and robbed thousands of Innocent people of their lives.

Of England- policy In South Africa Ife aaid: Lie, treachery, intrigues, and secret instigations against the government of the republic these always hffve been the distinguishing marks of English polities, which found their final goal in a cruet war." It ia said that President Kruger waa worth J23.000.00a vfj I.4? IN TIMES SLD'G ACCIDENT Derrick Breaks and Huge Stone Crashes to Ground BROOKLYN NEGRESS MAY DIE. Corona Woman Suffer From 8hock-Flylng Splinters Caused the Injuries. By the breaking ofa derrick used in boiet-ing a huge stone, a part of the ornamental cornice of the old New York "Times building, at No. 41 Tart row, Manhattan, shortly- before noon b-day. the atone crashed to the pavement, breaking through the temporary bridging built over the sidewalk end burying itself in the pavement.

Flying splinters of wood and stone injured five persons, three men and two women. One of tbe women, a negress thought to have been fatally hurt. Her skull is fractured. One of those hurt wae a workman ou tbe building, tbe others being pedestrians who were parsing in the neighborhood at the time of the accident. The injured are: JOHN O'CONNOR.

85 years old. of No. 239 East Ninety-fourth street. Manhattan, right arm injured. FREDERICK MEYER, a printer, 63 years old.

of 412 Twenty -ninth street, arm injured. LAWRENCE RYAN, 53 years old. of No. 467 Forty-fourth street. South Brook Ivn, left leg fractured and wounded about the head and face.

SARAH RUSSELL, Degress, of Nineteenth street and Neck road, Brooklyn skull fractured; serious. ROSALIE KATES, of Central and Railroad avenues. Corona. L. injuries slight: suffering from shock.

It was fortunate that the accident did not occur ten minutes later, at which time office buildings in the Park Row district would have emptied thousands of men and women clerks and employees into the streets for the noontide meal. As it waa the streets i nthe vicinity of the Time Building was almost deserted, save for a few pedestrians hurrying along, and the presence of some few workmen on the temporary bridge that spanned the sidewalk in front of the building. The fact that no one waa killed the mass of stone that fell, and the flying splinters of wood and stone, is regarded as miraculous. High up on top of the "Times building and at the northwest corner of the structure I bilge derrick has been erected some days since for use in hoisting the great and massive cornice stones ornamental in design, preparatory adding several stories to the building. Fortunately at the time the derrick broke and collapsed, sending to the pavement, many feet below, the mass of stone, together with the broken derrick and a tangle of ropes and chains, there were no- workmen upon it.

The impact of the massive stone upon the heavy yrooden planking across the sidewalk was terrific. There waa a grinding tearing sound and then the great block of granite ripped its way with irresistible force through the inch planks and striking the pavement buried itself deep into the In a moment thousands had gathered across the street, lin City Hall Tark, viewing the disaster. It was rumored that a hundred people had been killed. Ambulances were summoned trom the Hudson Street Hospital and the police drew a dead line about the building, closed the front doors and permitted no one to pass in front of the structure. Cars were held up for ten minutes in the fear that other stones or debris of some sort might fail to the street from the roof.

Patrick Burns, of No. 973 East li6th etreet, who was slightly injured, said that he was walking near Lawrence Ryan when hie attention was attracted by some scattering dust coming down. Before there could be any word of warning, he said, the great stone rushed by his head and buried itself in the. sidewalk. He said that Ryan as hit by a beam and knocked down with such violence that his watch stopped promptly at 11:40.

Whether they intended to spend the night at Amityville or whether they were hurrying in order tft- return to Brooklyn last night, canot be told. Jewell regularly telephoned his wife If he intended to be out late, and from this it is argued that he expected a quick return from the trip.

Mr. Tate hurried to the Corell house, but wae unable to arouse the sleeping inmate. This morning early he tried again, end Mr. Corell heard for the first time of his son's death. He telegraphed his wife tha there had been an accident, snd she took the first train for Brooklyn.

He accompanied her to her Washington avenue home, and there the news wae broken to her. The effect on her health i much feared. Mr. Corell started for Rockville CcntW with an undertaker at 10:51 this mornina At the Jewell home the scene last night was very different. Mrs.

Waldron dismissed Snyder from hi employ when the matrimonial difficulties arose, and he secured work from Mn, Coreli. Mr. Waldron this morning refused to tell where hia sister was living, whether she was interested in the tion of the body, snd whether he knevfl anything about Snyder's family. Real estate men of the Bedford section generally credited the explanation tha Corell saw the approaching train, but tha he was ambitious to show the speed possibilities of his marhibe to Snyder, and su tried to beat the train to the crossing.

July 14. There is an important conference going on heea, to-day between Judge Parker, August Belmont. Bourke Cockran, Senator McCarren and William Rodle. Yie advent of McCarren here was regarded aw particularly important, as' It I believed that he is primed with an intimate discourse upon the situation in Kings snd Manhattan and competent to discuss ways and means to the materialization of Judge Parker pej programme for getting the support of all faction. The Senator arrived at 2 06 p.

nr Thev came up on the written request of the nominee and will probably return tonight. Mr. Belmont said he had just come from the convention and knew nothing new about the situation. Mr. Cockran said he had nothing to add to his recent statement except that he felt confident the issue of the campaign, would vote the Democratic ticket with his whole heart in the support of it, and would go on the stump in Judge Parkers behalf if the latter desired him to do so.
