June 10.?With the pre? vailing advances in the price of bet f producta as ascribed by the packers to cattle shortage at slaughtering centers, the consumption of this meat in ?New York city Is said by whole? salers and; retailers to have fallen from 25 to 30 per cent, below the normal decrease. High prices, ex? ceeding the maximum of recent years, have been the dominating factor con? tributing to this result, it Is ad? mitted. , The demand for beef, an investiga? tion shows, hns fallen off throughout the city. Hotel*, restaurants and families are reducing their dally or? ders, often by one-half. Already the retail prices ure one-third higher than the quotations of a year ago. Sirloin steaks have been quoted as high as 32 to 36 cents a pound, while the consumers of "churk" and other Inferior cuts of beef have felt the pinch severely. In many districts of the East Side the retailers required to meet whole? sale price advances, which have ag? gregated between three and four cents a pound within the last week, are selling their products at prices Which yield little or no profits rather than take chances of further curtail? ing their trade of raising retail fig? ure*. Representatives of the larger pack ling companies Insist the advance of 1 to 4 1-2 cents a pound within the last week In wholesale quotations is due solely te the shortage of cattle. They assert that had consumption volume held to the normal figures for this season of the year, the Increase would have been much larger. Retsliers lay the blame for pres? ent conditions upon the packers. Yes? terday's wholesale prices of from 11 to 12 cents a pound they held to be at least three cents above the figures thst should prevail. Several retail? ers attributed conditions to price ma? nipulation by a so-called trust, as? serting that representatives of the va? rious large slaughtering interests meet each Saturday and agree upon prices for the ensuing week. LIGHTNING KILLS TWO. I. E. Cole and His Son Albert arc Dead and Two of Ills Daughters Injured. Spartanburg, June 11.?J. E. Cole, aged about 43 years, a promlneut farmer of Walnut Grove section of the county, and his son, Albert, aged 12 years, were killed by lightning this afternoon about 3 o'clock. Two young daughters of Mr. Cole were ihocked by the stroke of lightning, but were not seriously injured. It is reported here tonight that the little daughter, t years of age, is in a serious condition as the result of the shock. Mr. Cole was In the act of lowering a window when the flash came, killing him nnd his s. n in stunt ly. Perry's Big Guns. Commodore Perry had not yet electrified u grateful nation with his In.mortal n.e-sage. "We have met the er.emy, and they are ours." While the ' ' \\. In progress the sound of i'. gun I v. as heard at Cleveland, about C ) anlsg away in a direct line over the wat* r. The few kettlers there were expecting he battle and listened with Intense Interest. Finally the sounds ceased. They waited for a renewal. None came; the lull was painful. Then they knew thes battle w is i?ver; but the result- ah, that was the point. One old fellow, who had been lying flat with his oar to the ground, soon settled that point. Springing up, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Thank God! They are whipped! They are whlpepd!" "How do you know?" the others Inquired. "Heard the big guns last!" Perry's guns were the heaviest.

Two Cent Postage .May lie E1Y< to All Europe?Expectation is the Lower Rate Will Swell \? of Communication ami So bri m 1 ?arger Revenues. Washington, June 10.?In the near future, it likely that u postal rate at two cents an ounce for Qret-Olaai mail Will be in fore1 between the United States and all of the hading Europe? an countries. Postmaster r, eneral Myers lias al? ready concluded such an arrange ment with Great Bfttan, Postmaster General Euxti n. of England, eagerly availing himself of the suuggestion of? fered by Mr. Meyer. The two-cent rate will be effective next Auiunr.i, and, of course, having been lowered the rate never again will be raited. Postmastr General Myer is in? clined to the belief that the lowering of the rate will so greatly increase the use of the foreign mails as actually to inrcase the revenue of the depart? ment. In this opinion, he Is support? ed by the department officials gen? erally* who have studied the situation. When the rate of postage was re? duced in this country, from three to two cents an ounce, it was apprehend? ed by some officials that the change would Involve a great loss to the Gov? ernment. As a matter of fact, the sale of stamp Increased to such ah extent that the revenues, dsplte the apparent loss of one-third on firatclass matter, Immediately became greater that they had been before and never since that time have fallenv back. It Is expected that the effort of re? ducing foreign postal rates will be substantially the same. As indicated by the postmaster general, however, there are a good many difficulties in the way of establishing generally a two cent rate on all first class foreign mall. "It will be necessary," said he, "to confine the cheap service to those countries which are touched directly by the- mail steamers from America. France, Germany and Italy are ex amplea of these. The steamers carry mall to these countries which late:' is transported by rail through them to other countries. Naturally, it would be difficult to arrange for a two-ceni rate on that transferred mail, because mail of that character involves addi? tional expense in its handling. "I hope soon to bring about an ar? rangement which those countries wlih which Americji has direct steamer connection by which the two-cent rate between them and us will he ef? fective. It would be a vast conveni? ence to our pople and to the people o/ th? other countries and I am In? clined to the belief that it would- In? crease, eventually, the postal reve? nues of both America and the coun? tries with wnlch the arrangement may be made." Postmaster General Meyer ha3 been working on the two-cent ar? rangement with Great Britain for sev? eral months. In addition to th.it, and to the postal savings bank proposi? tion, he has several other reforms for the department In view, which if put Into effect, will benefit the service and be of distinct advantage to the people. A New Wood. The latest discoveries of valuable qualities In a formerly neglected spe des of tree resulted after an investi? gation of the tupelo gum. which finds its home In the Southern swamps. Tupelo two years ago was little known gad Heidorn used even In the parts of the country where It is most plentiful. In the cutting of cypress in the 'Gulf St it es, where tupelo is found in large quantities, the trees were disregard? ed. It was found that the prejudice then existing against the wood was caused by a lack of knowledge of Its properties and lack of care In handling the material. The investigations car? ried on by the United States forest service have proved the value of the Wood for a number of dses. 1*he re? sult of these studies largely removed the prejudices against this gum, and j in a short time the demand for tupelo ; rapidly increased. The wood is now widely used, not only In the States where It grows, but also In distant parts of the coun? try. In the manufacture of wooden pumps, sounding boards for violins and organs, mantels and Interior fin? ishing, such as moulding, door and window frames and door jambs. It Is also manufactured Into nil kinds of lumber Including a good grade of edge grain* flooring. Tupelo gum in the form of flooring was recently found competing successfully with Douglas fir In the Los Angeles mar? ket, even though bearing a freight rate of 85 cents a hundred weight from Its source of production In Louisiana.

For centuries past i they have thought of Asia as a con? tinent Whose inhabitants are lost in apathetic quietude. Now, however, one rarely sees a telegram from any OOUhtry in Asia which does not re? cord some disturbances, sometimi a of the monst dans;' rous kind. The 1 of Japan which within the last con tuiy was supposed to he voluntarily isolated from kind, has shattered the Isolated from mankind, has shattered the idea of the "yellow peril" which was thought to be extinguished with the extinction of the Tartar ascendency in Russia. There is suppose.! to be a revolution in "far Cathay," which Pushkin once describeJ as lying "in dotage buried." Reuter records ev? ery day some new symptoms of the unrest which is prevailing in India, affecting not her soldiery, as in the mutiny, but 'her whole population in their uncountable myriads. In Indo? China, the French officials are hamt ed by the possibility of a vast popu? lar insurrection. In Afghanistan the warlike clans are evidently pondering on the possibility of a new descent into the southern peninsula, and may yet compel their nominal sover? eign either to let them loose or to take their lead in a war to which the discontented in India are said, on good evidence, to be perpetually in? citing him. One motive, at least, for the r upletion of the Russian rail? ways *.z the East is believed to be a vagw pprpehension that the popu? lation of the Khanates are throbbing with hope that they may rid them? selves of the weight of the heavy Russian hand. In Persia the people have caught the Western Idea of superseding des? potism by an elected legislature, and may even split up their ancient em? pire into pairing principalities; while in Turkey the martial caste, which for ap many centuries has threaten? ed Eastern Europe and plundered Western Asia, is protesting that it wants to be civilised and free of a tyranny at once military and sacer? dotal. No one even expects tran quillty in any corner of Asia, and statesmen are surrendering the idea that Europe can either partition Asiatic dominions, or warn the peo? ple that they are expected to be quiescent. They are even holding conferences to devise combined plans for preventing the weapons of the West from being imported into States which may intend to use them against the white man. The makers of telegrams say only this week that the "mild and submissive" Hindoos are promising the most ferocious god? dess left among the pagan peoples that in the fullness of time they will offer up the entire white race as a grand sacrifice at her shuine. Hither? to such an offering has been pro nousced by all Hindoos unholy, even the hugs refusing to sacrifice the whites on the distinct grounds that they are taboo, as unfit for sacrifice as if they were pigs; but now con? tempt and dislike would seem in a sense to ha\e sacrificed suhc ab? horrent offerings. There ma/ be much exaggeration in all this, for it must not be forgot Ien that the whit ? people, who when separated from each other by descent or organization, often fail to under Itanjl' each other?wltnebs thr relation between the Centic Irish and the Scotch?seem unable to penetrate the cloud which seperates them from the brown and yellow peoples. The newspapers, again, always write of any movement in Asia under the par? tially stupefying influence of sudden panic or lUprise. Hut still the evi? dence of unrest?troublesome un est ?from Tokio to Constantinople can? not be rudely denied. There is un? rest, and the really Interesting specu? lation concerns, but not the fact which is patent, but its hidden, or at all events still obscure, causes. What has thrown so many and such quiescent people into an inexplicable fever of agita Jtion? Why, for instnace, are the Chin? ese, who are independent, and the Persians, who are the vainest of man ' kind, and the Ottomans, who are a dominat race and must loss their I dominance in any great change, all persuading themselves that thev need and will have radical reforms? It is as Inexplicable as. the sudden move I ment against polygammy, wh'- h is said to be affecting the entire female world of Islam. Is it really the fact that the strength developed by reformed Ja? pan ha? lifted the depression of cen tu'ies from all Asiatics, and excited them to an imitation which must of course, finally break up the ancient quietude? We cannot answer the question, but we can testify that one of the ablest of Anglo-Indian officials was startled and bewildered by find? ing that in remote villages north of j Kashmir, and In the huge valley of ' the Brahmaputra, every Japanese vle ? tory was welcomed by an illumina ' tlon.

Or is it possible that an emotion ....In to the one which produced the Crusades, and though not so directly con? nected with any religious impulse, still fatal to quiesence, Is sweeping through Asia from Nagasaski to the H< sphorus, stirring up race*, which for ages have slept the sleep of con? tent, but are now determined to ad? vance upon some path, mental or physical, which they think open? The thing occured when the barbparians rose on Rome, and again when sci? ence in Its second revival told men tbat the sun, in spite of the evidence of their eyes, did not rise and set. Doubt came then into the world, and all the world was shaken.

"We are somewhat in earnest this time, "My Dear Friend: Accounts fall due ! this month that must be met by the orphanage for the support of Its many little children to the amount of $2.500.
