Rome, July 81.—The Tribune says
the assassination is believed to be the
result of a prearrange plot. The non-
Militant anarchists are said to have de
clared that at a meeting in Paris lots
were drawn and a man chosen to kill
Humbert. Madame Remala and son, at
whose house the king was stopping
while in Milan, have been arrested.

That Is What Albany Butchers are Charging
for Native Beef. |
There is a bit of a flurry in the looal (
meat market, and as a consequence, loud <
complainings are heard from among the
ranks of housekeepers generally. The ',
cause of the trouble lies iu the faot that
within the last two or three weeks the I
price of beef has been jumping until,
now it retails at 15o per pound. |
The buyiug public complains that the
prices they are forced to pay by thej
butchers are exhnrbitant, bnt the bntoh-
era insist that they are making less
money now than at a by time during the
last five or six years. A few months
ago the price of native beef was 10c per
pound. Tho first advance was to 12)^o,
and even that increase called forth loud
oomolaiuts. But when, a short time
ago,-the price was still further advanced
to 16o, a genuine howl of protest went
up.
The butchers say they are helpless in
the matter, aud that under no circum
stances can they make lower prices.
The conditions complained of are due to
the unprecedented scarcity of beef cattle.
Whereas, it. used to be the case that
parties with cattle to sell would bring
them to market and offer them for sale
“at any price,” the butchers are now
forced to go out into the “highways and
byways,” as it were, to search for
beeves. The scarcity makes the price
higher, of course, for every butoher has
scour the'oountry iu order to be able
to keep his stock up. Those who; have
cattle to sell realize that a scarcity ex
ists, aud they have gouo up, according
ly, in their prices.
The demand for good beef cattle
seems to be decidedly oh the increase,
and those farmers who have any con
siderable number to sell can get almost
any price they see fit to name. r The
butchers are in the market for beef and
they must have it, whether the price be
high or low. Meanwhile, however, >he
complainings of those who have to pay
the retail price for steaks and roasts are
becoming more prononuced.
