Washington, 1). C. -The original copy ;
of (lie Declaration of Independence is
lid more. The stirring text ?ud the
igtiatures of the members of the Conthieninl
Congress have faded away.
This precious document is preserved in
:> cabinet in the State Department LI- ,
hrary, but it is now practically nothing
more than a large sheet of parch- |
men I. Part of the words, "Declarn- j
lion of Independence," which were
written in large letters with many or- ,
uautental tlourislies, are decipherable,
but not a signature is visible to the
naked eye. One hardly discernible
stroke of .iolui Hancock's pen is all
that remains of ids bold and vigorous
autograph, which he purposely made
large, so as to show the British (!ov- |
oraim-nt that lie had no fear of being
known.
The Declaration is preserved in n
narrow drawer, glass covered, which
slides in a steel safe with heavy double
doors, locked by a combination.
\ftor its removal to the State Department
from Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
where tli<? Continental Congress
held its convention on July 1,
l~"t>, the Declaration was placed in a
glass case and exposed to the view of
visitors. Owing to the strong light
in win<*n it was subjected it began to
fade, and it was then removed to the
drawer in which it is now preserved.
This was several years ago. The fading
continued, however, until now the
noted document is nothing more, apparently,
than a mere blank sheet of
paper.
Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration,
with Insertions in the hand-,
writing of Franklin and John Adams,
is slid exposed to view in the same
case, where the formal document was
formerly on exhibition. Strangely I
enough, the ink on this draft lias not !
faded. The writing is still as elear
:i< it was I Jo y< ars ago, when Jefferson
and ihe other members of the Drafting
Committee wrote the words that
nnde defiance to the Rritish crown.
The original of the Constitution of
ilie I'nited States is preserved in the
same ease with the Declaration. It
h:is written on four large sheets of
parehenient, each kept in a separate
glass covered drawer. The ink sltows
en sign of fading. The signatures of
i.eorgo Washington and the oilier
members of the Coustiiuiional Contention
are as clear as if they had
iieen just written.

Vancouver, 15. C.- The Yukon lu- I
siirreeiion story is not nliogethor

rained Americans drew up plans for
forcibly deposing the (Sovernmenl and
police in tiio Yukon, somewhat similar
to the historical Jameson raid in
the Transvaal. .Major Woods, North
west Mounted I'oiice, discovered the'
schemes and took prompt steps to suppress
it, American officials at Skag- j
way co-operating.
The discovery of tlic scheme is sup- !
posed to Imve nipped it in the bud. It
is said the scheme originated in Seatlie,
and .sHoO.tHK) was available to aid
ihe venture.
The information has beeu obtained
from former police officers of the Yukon
force, and members of the gambling
fraternity who have come to.
the coast cities for the winter, and is j
guardedly confirmed by the officials j
wiio have just come down from the

The decision was reached by Solicitor

Commissioner Yerkeg. News of lite

The heirs have already been com- j

The Federal lax just fixed brings the

Disorders l>uo to a Proposed

Athens. Greece.?A remarkable politico-religious
agitation has kept this
city for days past in a state of excitement
which has resulted in serious
rioting and loss of life. The ostensible
cause of the trouble is the opposition
of the university students and others
to the proposal to translate the Gospels
into modern Greek and authorize such
new version for general use. There
is. however, a considerable political
element in the mov< ..icnt. involving
popular hostility to Slav influences.

hloas niul tho ni. others of the royal
family, as well a; tho Government,
are objects of their Indignation. The
governmental newspapers Akropolis
and Asty, which support the translation
proposal, also share in this hostility.
i
Tito demonstrations have been growing
in violence daily, and in the course
of rioting about twenty cavalrymen
and a few civilians were wounded.
The following day the students organized
a meeting at tit" ruins of the Temple
of Zeus and about 'JO.OOO persons
attended. Tho Government had supplemented
the police with a lurge
force of troops. Disturbances soon
began and revolvers were freely used.
In the melee seven persons were killed
and thirty wounded and many persons
suffered minor injuries.
Some of the rioters who recognized
Premier Tlieotokis in the street tried
to assassinate him. Several revolver
shots were tired at M. Tlieotokis, but
he escaped unharmed. Tlnj Prefect
of Police and the Prefect of Athens
were among the slightly injured.
Strong guards have hern posted at
the Palace and the residence of the
Premier, and also at the offices of the
Akropolis and Asty. The students
hold the university as their headquarters
and have adopted military discipline.

Kino Yniri-The flrocfrjr Trmlc Situation?Kffect
oT Corn Crop Failure.
New York City.?Whatever may he
the influences, natural or artificial, at
uork. it can no longer he disputed that
food products, not only in X -\v York
City but throughout the country, are
steadily rising in price. In groceries 1
this new and startling development
is not so marked and it Is said by i
many to be of only a temporary nature.
In meats the situation is one 1
to concern not only the housekeeper !
but the meat trade Itself.
One butcher said that the preseut 1
price of meats is the highest that he '
has known in nine years: that- is. the
highest price to be maintained for any i
length of time. During the winter of
lS'Jo-Wtt prices were slightly higher for
ft brief period. f
One wholesale dealer of this trades- 1
man's acquaintance, who, during hi>/i
forty years' experience in the whole!- '
sale meat trade has traveled all over
the West, remarked to bint receutl/y
that there would be no cheap beef f<t>r
a year or two to come. At the preseAit
time, the butcher added, all meafts,
with the exception of veal, cost t'he
consumer two cents more than in f.he
summer. Veul itself is six ce-'uts J
higher. i
This increase came suddenly atoout ;
the tirst week in September, the dealer 1
explained, and there was no Inullca- '
tion of a return to former prices.f lustead,
he predicted that the prid-e of
llliilllu u-ill 1,1. -
.* lit IUV.1 V-4iOl- IIUIU il ceill to ii
ceut and a half within the next /three
weeks, and lie is of tliu opinion that ;
these abnormal rates will coutiuXie for
three or four years. (
Further, he said, the rise of six: cents
a pound in veal was due to tlije good
prices obtainable at present for milk.
Farmers linu that they can g?~>t more
protit out of milk than out of veal,.and
are allowing their calves to c become
cows. j ; I
Alauy reasons are advancetV for the '
increase in cattle and liog products.
Th?? principal one is the failuire of the
corn crop. Farmers estimate that for
each bushel of corn eight ipounds of
merchantable pork sbouh.t accrue.
With a price of six and tin-ee-quarter
ceuts for pork, the fanner 'nus a total
of tifty-four cenis as rct-urus from
ltis bushel of corn, to set (tgninst ieveuty-tivc
cents, which his com commands.
This liue of agricultural reasoning
also applies to cattle, ami during the
year thousands of acres which were
formerly devoted to p.raziug were
plowed and planted for grain. The <
cornstalk disease" has also thinned
lite ranks of the lteef producers, ami
the heavy losses on rant 'lies in winter,
due to inadequate housbag, have by no
means decreased. All ljuese have combined
to make costs higher to the
consumer.
While systematic eff orts *will doubtless
be made to remedy this existing
shortage and farmers outside the great
cattle districts will pr mabiy turn their
attention to the business to take advantage
of the prese'nt high prices, it
is generally conceded, thai those prices
cannot tic materially altered for some
time to come.
Meanwhile, the cattlemen, with depleted
herds, are forced to raise their |
prices, the wholesalers are compelled |,
10 follow, and tiie vetnilers are In turn '
laid under the necessity of levying
increased tribute upon tbo army of
consumer*.
In the grocery trade the situation
is very different, i aud if uny vegetables
or fruits haye advanced in price
ihe increase has been directly tracea- !,
ble to crop failures, as In apples and
potatoes, h reshI lnlu eggs and butter
are higher than} usual, but this was
explained by onl- grocerynian as merely
the annual winter Increase in price. 1
i'he marked rilse iu cold storage eggs
was the work] of "a combination,"
which, he said, cornerei this section
of the uiarken, as it had done last
winter. CauiLed goods were higher, i
owing to the Irlse in the price of tin, ]
but with the I exception of oats, prac- I
tlcally everything else was on a normal
Imsis. I I

the subject of diplomacy, to which he

"There was a time whe t diplomacy

the Monroe doctrine< and the

we can hardly go far wrou".
