The ee CONGRESS INCLINED TO IGNORE QUESTION OF THE BEEF TRUST. Representative McDermott of New Jersey Introduced a Bill Abolishing Duties on All Meat and Poultry Imported Into the United States Mr. Richardson Presented Resolution Instructing Ways and Means Committee to Take Matter Up and Investigate Present High Prices of Beef.

COUNTRY CLAMORS FOR RELIEF republic special Washington, April 23 Unable to obtain any assurances from the members of the AVjuuuslAIesnfl Committee aSr tion ould be taken on his "resolution for a free beef bill. Representative McDermott of New Jersey to-day Introduced a bill abolishing all duties upon meat and poultry imported from foreign countries. Majority members of the committee are not inclined to appreciate the tremendous effect and far-reaching harmful consequences of the Beef Trust and at present are absolutely blind to the demands of the people that something be done. Representative Richardson brought the matter up in the committee to-day In an Informal manner and the only result was immediate adjournment. Mr.

McDermott's bill was referred to the committee, where an attempt will be made to get a record tote on it. Another move aimed at the Beef Trust was made to-day by Representative Richardson, the leader of the minority, when he introduced this resolution: "Whereas, there has been recently an unusual increase in the price of beef, mutton, veal and pork, which is abnormal and duo largely. If not altogether, to trusts and other combinations, alleged to be unlawful In their organization; "Resolved, That the Ways and Means Committee be instructed to investigate the question of recent Increase In the price of the-e articles, to determine the cause thereof, and If practicable, offer some measure or legislation that will afford relief against the evils complained of." COUNTRY IS AROUSED. Mr. McDermott decided to take Immediate action, to the extent of introducing a bill and forcine It to, the attention of Congress and the country on account of tremendous pressure that is being exerted on the mem- bers of Congress by constituents who are already feeling the harmful effect of the ri-se In price of meat and meat products.

He received a letter to-day from a citizen of Trenton, N. which said: CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY FACES GRAVE CRISIS SJwen Professors Resign to Assist in Making Stringent Retrenchments. ItEl'UBUC SPECIAL. Washington, April 23. The Catholic University of America Is facing a serious financial crisis.

Seven of its most eminent professors have be compelled to resign In or der that the remainder of the faculty may exercise stringent measures of retrenchment. Those who tendered their resignations at the recent meeting of the trustees are Carroll D. Wright, lecturer on social economics; MonIgnor Rooker, lecturer on ethics; Jo-s'ah Pierce, lecturer on civil engineering; Edmond L. Briggs, associate professor of law C. II.

Goddard, instructor In law; Albert Doollttle. head of the department of mathematics, and Charles Warren Stoddard, professor of literature. None of these vacancies will be filled till the finances of the Institution are on a better basis. At present the Catholic University has a total endowment of about $2,500,000. but of this only JUXW.0M Is available as a paying investment.

For more than two years It has been claimed that the American hierarchy docs not support the university with the steadfast loyalty which Pope Leo enjoined when he made this apostolic foundation. The university holds its charter directly from the Pope, and he has conferred upon It and Its officials special marks of esteem. Internal dissensions among the faculty, and the absorption of numerous sinecure professorships and emoluments by one or two of its members, are also assigned as reasons why this extraordinary retrenchment has been practiced In the midst of a. cholastlc term. travels along the arcade southwardly, toward too Cacsade Gardens In the distance.

Another arcade will be planted forty feet to the left of the one shown In the picture. These trees give every Indication MAY BECOME NATIONAL ISSUE "I have never voted the Democratic ticket but If the Republican party, which Is now In power, does not remove the tariff on prodq-ts, I shall never again vote the Republican ticket." "This," said Mr. McDermott, "is only a sample of scores of letters that I have received, not only from my own constituents, but from other cltUens of New Jersey. "It seems to me that the removal of the tariff on meat and poultry would be a direct blow at the Beef Trust, as it would open up the American market to importation from other countries, especially Canada and Mexico, which would tend at once to reduce the price. The present 2-cent tariff on imported meats Is almost prohibitive." May Make It an Inane.

Mr. Richardson's resolution was also re-referred to the Ways and Means Committee, where, according to the majority. It wi'l probably sleep until the House leaders themselves wake up to the fact that the revelations in relaUon to the Beef Trust may lose them the next Congress. 'At to-day's meeting of the Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Richardson, entirely an Informal manner, directed this question to the head of the table, where sat Chairman Payne and Representatives Dal-zell and Grosvenor: "It seems to me that something should be done to investigate the trusts, and especially the Beef Trust.

I would like to ask the majority members of this committee if it la not possible to do this in some-nay There was only indefinite answer from the head of the table to the effect that the matter was all buncombe, and even if it were not, nothing could be done. "I move that the committee now adjourn," said Mr. Dalzell. An adjournment was at once taken. Every Democratic member of the Wajs and Means Committee will urge that something be done and, if no effort is made by the Republicans, they will call it nromi- nently to the attention of the country, and make it the prominent campaign issue this fall.

Chairman Carter of the National Commission and Chairman Tawney of the House Committee on Expositions met to-day and discussed some of the questions to be considered before the matter of postponment of the St.

Louis Exposition Is taken up Is, a formal manner. Definite Decision. No definite decision was reached to-day as to legislation in regard to postponing- the Fair, and it Is said that there was some difference of opinion as to whether Congress should take the matter up without direct suggestion from St. Louis. The arlous methods by which postponement might be secured wore discussed in detail by Congress of Its own motion; by Congress at the initiative ot the local corporation; or, third, upon a suggestion or recommendation from the National Commission to the Exposition management that the Fair might be made a greater bucccss If postponed, on which suggestion the directors might feel it advisable to act.

Amendment Itot Discussed. The discussion to-day did not consider the form of any amendment to the sundry civil bill. Some weeks ago rough drafts of amendments concerning postponement and World's Fair souvenir coinage were handed by Senator Cockrell to Chairman Tawney for the purpose of being put into shape. Chairman Tawney is unqualifiedly for postponing the Fair without action in St. Louis.

Ho believes that national Interest In tho Fair Justifies Congress in taking that mode of notlflng the local corporation, of the Government's opinion in favor of more time for preparation; Senator Cockrell ana Chairman Carter do not entirely agree with him. It can be stated definitely that no new legislation will be proposed this week, at least. WILLIAM M. CROSS NOMINATED. Democratic Candidate for Delegate to Congress From Oklahoma.

April 23 Acting Secretary of War Sanger to-day administered a stinging rebuke to Brigadier General Frederick Funston, and the general comment heard about the Capitol Is that It Is well merited and long overdue.

Congressmen say the longer Funston standi In the public eye the smaller he appears. When his father was in Congress he enjoyed the sobriquet "Foghorn Funston," and no one who has been thrown into contact with that noisy lawmaker doubts that General Funston is a true son. The letter sent by Acting Secretary of War Sanger says: lr: am directed by the President to Instruct you tht be wlhes you to cease further public dtKussion of tho situation In the Philippines anil alio to express his regrets that you should male a Senator of tho United States the object ot publlo criticism or discussion.

Both wheat and corn were sensationally strong and actUe on the Produce Exchange to-day, each scoring an advance ot 2 cents a bushel. The big factor In tho Chicago and New Tork com markets was the firm of Harris. Gates Co, of No.

10 Wall street. It was currently Hated that this firm had taken advantage of the serious crop news to make a drlvo against the St. Louis bear contingent, and thai the latter, under the leadership of John Kaufman, had been forced to cover. In the wheat market the advance of more than 2 cents a. bushel was made without a single Important reaction.

In this cereal the traders were Influenced almost entirely by the damage reports that came steadily along from the West. The rains In the win ter-wheat States were considered too light to give any substantial relief. While the Southwest was generally reported to be thirsting for rain in the spring-wheat region. Red River Valley advices indicated snow and very low temperature a condition most unfavorable to seeding. In corn, the speculative element, led by Harris.

Gates Co. Is said to be in control of the market, and some bellevo that, with the limited supplies In sight, it would be comparatively cosy to corner tho market. The sharp advance to-day to 70j cents a. bushel in the market brings the price to the highest point at which It has sold this i-esr. W.

They wUl reside on a farm near AtUbK WONDER IF HE IS JEALOUS." Probably what caused the Issue of this particular letter was an application from General Funston for leave of absence In order that he might attend the banquet to be given in Boston by the Middlesex Club.

It Is understood that he was to deliver another address there. The request for leave of absence was refused. A copy ot Mr. Sanger's letter was forwarded to Senator Hoar. TELLS HOW IT HAPPENED.

Denver, April 23. When shown a copy of tho order issued to-day by Acting Secretary of War Sanger by direction of the President, General Funston sold: "I think It possibly rerers to my remarks on the Philippines at the Sons of the American Revolution banquet last Saturday night. I said nothing there but what I had said before, and the manner In which I was Introduced by General Hale at that function naturally called for remarks on the Philippines. If my remarks are not satisfactory to my chief, I regret It- "I am the last man to do anything prejudicial to military discipline, but when talk on the Philippine question I am liable to lose my temper."

Chicago. 111., April 23 Corn Is once more claiming the attention of the speculative world and incidentally the Western farmer fortunate enough to own a few hundred bushels of the golden cereal had reason to congratulate himself to-day on learning that the bulls on the Board ot Trade had tossed prices in the pit up nearly 3 cents a bushel July corn 6Sjc, 61c. MHc Sc. Cttc 66c thus were quotations reeled oft the ticker during trading hours to-day, much to the amazement of those who watched the blackboards In the various downtown brokers' offlcas, and the advance In corn and Its causes were the chief topic of discussion In both financial and grain circles. The July option finally closed at 66c Reasons for Advances.

On the Board of Trade the reason given for the skyward flight ot the cereal was that Eastern speculators, deeming the situ, atlon unusually bullish owing to the scarcity of corn In the country as the result of last summer's drought, are engineering a "deal" which bids fair to eclipse the bull performance which George H. Phillips gave the public Ju-it about a year ago. The bull party operating through the firm of Harris-Gates, which house has bought several million bushels of July com In the last few days. Che case with which prices advanced to-day on a trade lacking in most of the exciting features of a bull market Indicates, so traders say. that tho bull party is already in a position to control prices ana lively scenes are looked for.

Wheat Also Bullish. In wheat the return of clear, cold weather, with somewhat sensational reports on lowering of growing wheat conditions) In Indiana and Kansas, were the bull features. The weather map was a startling one. In sections where gcod rains were had yesterday the official chart simply Indicated showery conditions. St.

Louis and other Southwest points bought wheat here, and St. Louis led the early advance. Weather reports were worse as the day and huilish enthuslaxm InM-MUri Pushing the price to T7c for May and 7ic for July In the last hour of trading.

The conservative element among the strikers had In the meantime disavowed the) violence of their fellow and urged a return, to peaceful means to gain the end that Is sought. Large numbers of the strikers were la sullen spirits, and It was predicted to-night that any attempt on the part of the employers to resume business without dealing with them would be desperately resisted.
