THE HARVESTER TRUST.
The Farm Implement Manufacturers
Form a Big Combine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. - The American
Harvester company incorporated yester-
day, will absorb a number of other
firms, including most of the important
manufacturers of farm machinery. The
new company will employ $4,000 men,
and have an output of 100000 machines
year. 1t will divide the country for
business purposes into eastern, central
and western divisions, with manager
for each.
The capital stock of the company is
$35.000,000. Among the directors are
Cyrus H. Mccormick, William Deer
ing, Walter A. Wood, Lewis Miller, A.
L. Conger and A. O. Bushnell.
Col. Conger, when questioned, said
the present demoralized condition of the
harvester business necessitated the
formation OF new company. Many
failures have occurred in the past few
years, entailing immense losses. The
cost of materials has been advancing so
that it has become necessary either to
raise the price of machines to the farm
ers, or, through economy. produce and
distribute them more cheaply, as it is
the purpose of this new organization to
do. 1t is no less the interest OF the
binder manufacturers than of the farm
ers themselves, that the latter should
obtain binder twine at reasonable prices,
and the hope of effecting this is the
most important reason for the forming
OF this company.
They do not expect to check the COM
petition, but shall possibly carry on the
manufacture of the present machines at
the several different works.

EMBARRASS BANKS.
Barker Brothers s. Co., of Philad el phia,
Go to the Wall.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 20.-The
failure of Barker Brothers & Co., bank
ers and brokers, was announced in the
stock exchange this afternoon, and had
depressing effect on the market.
This is Wharton Barker's firm. They
are largely interested in Reading secur-
tiles, Oregon Pacific bonds, and Balti-
more and Ohio. They had small line
of deposits. The firm OF late had been
doing very little business through the
stock exchange. An assignment was
made to Edward Mellar, son-in-law Of
Wharton Barker. The suspension, it is
said, is not much OF surprise to the
well-informed, as the firms credit has
been poor for two months. 1t is said
their liabilities will be S3,000,OOO but
the creditors are not numerous. The
firm is said to have failed because of in
ability to realize on outside securities.
The failure was caused by the furry on
the stock exchange.
The suspension is said to have been
brought about by shrinkage in the
value of securities, and banks calling in
loans. When the announcement of the
suspension was made, the stock of the
Finance Company of Pennsylvania, of
which Wharton Barker is president, fell
from SO to 66, but it is authoritatively
stated that the company is in position
to pay every dollar they owe. The firm
of Barker Brothers has been established
for fiftv-three years.
Abraham Barker, the venerable founder
of the bank, is one of the best known
financiers in the country, and was form
erly president of the stock exchange.
Wharton Barker said this afternoon !:
people who owed us money, and upon
whom we depended, did not pay US.
They failed to meet their engagements,
and we failed to meet ours. That is all
that can be said now. OF course the
condition of the money market has
much to do with the trouble. 1t is nec-

The Board of Directors to be Re-

The Rocksfellers Said to Have Secured
Control of the Northern Pacific.

Associated Press Dispatches.

New YORK, Nov. 20.-President
Adams, of the Union Pacific, and Presi-
dent Hughitt, of the Northwestern,
have been in this city since Tuesday.
and it is said some important develop
ments will soon occur. The Gould peo-
pie state that the board of directors of
the Union Pacific will be reorganized
within ten days, and the statement is
circulated that President Adams has
signified his willingness to hand in his
resignation if asked for. 1t is also said
that if he finds that large number of
stockholders are opposed to him he will
resign.
New YORK, Nov. 20. The World says
The greatest piece of news in Wall street
is that John d. and William Rockefeller,
the Standard Oil magnates, have ac-
quired control of the Northern Pacific
railroad, which practically means the
ousting of Henry Willard. They are
known to have been heavy buyers of
Northern Pacific preferred during the
late decline in values. The North
American company, by the ownership of
securities, had control of the Northern
Pacific, but much OF the first named
company's assets have been closed out
during the past few days in liquidation
of loans. The Rockefellers bought in
Northern Pacific at the request of jay
Gould. They have great amount of
surplus money, for which they have
been seeking advantageous investments.
The earnings of the Northern Pacific are
now the largest in the history of
the company. The company, however,
has been suffering from entanglements
with other Willard corporations, and the
purpose of the Rockfellers is stated to
be to remove it from them. There is a
scheme on foot to provide connections
for the Northern Pacific, which will
make it an uninterrupted rail line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. By it's alli-
ance with the Wisconsin Central, it al
ready reaches from Puget Sound 10 Chi
cago, and its route thence, it is said will
be by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The Northern Pacific directors have
declared their regular quarterly divi-
dend of one per cent. on preferred stock.
At Wizards office the following state
ment was made: "It is not true that
Willard has given up his passage to
America, as published this morning. He
will sail on the Aller today"

ulates Its Creed.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-The Farm
ers' Mutual Benefit National association
today agreed to resolutions demanding
a revision of the patent laws; the abol-
ition of the national banking system !;
that the circulating medium be confined
to gold, silver and copper coins and
United States treasury notes; favoring
the loaning of money by the national
government to citizens, in sums not ex-
ceeding $1,000 to any one person and
properly secured, at interest not exceed
ing per cent. per annum; favoring the
issue and sale at par of United States
bonds of $40, $40, $50 and 800, bearing
2 per cent. interest, and redeemable at
the option of the holder and the govern
ment.
The resolutions further demand the
regulation of corporations by law; favor
the election of the president, vice -presi-
dent and United States senators by pop
ular vote; oppose civil service laws, and
fix the tenure in Office OF United States
judges not to exceed nine years. The
election OF postmasters and railroad and
warehouse commissioners by popular
vote is also urged. Pensions to soldiers
and sailors are approved, and the revis-
ion of the government officials salaries
is recommended, as is also the reduction
of taxation on necessities and convent
ences, and the regulation of immigration
and the manufacture of adulterated
foods.
The resolutions conclude by making a
provision for the establishment of ma
tional organization to attend the coming
sessions of legislatures throughout the
country, in the interest of farmers or
ganizations, and calling upon the repre-
sentatives Of the association to keep
aloof from both OF the old parties.

Run On a New York Bank.
New York, Nov. 20.-The run begun
on the Citizens Savings bank yester-
day was continued this morning. Be-
fore 8 O'Clock 1000 excited Poles had
gathered in the vicinity. Some pa
raded up and down the neighborhood
all night. President Quintard expects
the run to continue today and tomor-
row. He says the bank is ready to
meet it.
The bank has not yet made use of its
privilege of claiming ninety days, but is
eral days. No reason is known for the
run.
The crowd became so great that it was
necessary to call out squad of police to
get them in line which extended out
to Canal street and down to Elizabeth.
The depositors were then admitted in
squads of fifteen. Offers of assistance
from other banks were declined. Presi-
dent Quintard said it would take aweek
to settle with the depositors in today's
line.

feeling of suspicion. President Freling-

LEFT NTH THE SENATE.

Another illustration has been furnished OF
the respect entertained for public sentiment in
the House of Representatives by the prompt
passage of the AntiLottery bill. This meas
ure was demanded by all decent people. and
in responding to the demand so quickly and
elfcctually, the Republican majority has once
more commended itself to the country. 1t has
once more proved not only its disposition TO
do useful work, but its competency also. This
House will long be valued as one which, in the
face of an intensely bitter and unpatriotic op-
position, and despite the numerical weakness
of its majority, has accomplished great and
beneiicent work. The Republican leaders have
maintained hearty accord. They have ap-
preciatcd their duty and responsibility. They
have realized the necessity of presenting u
united front TO the enemy and they have sup
piled by organization what they lacked in
mere numerical force No petty jealousics
have been allowed to interrupt their harmony
or to interfere with the fuIfment of their
party pledges. IT the same thing could be said
Of the Senate we should 60 into the November
elections with every assurance OF a sweeping
victory.
Senator Quay has been so far prevailed upon
by the press Of the land as to include Post
Office bills among those which the Senate may
consider at this session, a circumstance which
renders anti-lottery legislation possible. This
is well enough so far AS it goes But it By no
means satisfies the public will nor comedies the
public right. The same party which with a
feeble majority and a violent opposition has
accomplished so much in the House for the
National welfare possesses in the Senate q
strong majority. There is no want of means
or power in the Senate Republicans. They
can redeem their partys promises and effect
ually enact the party's sentiment if they choose
to do so. Those of them who do not choose TO
do 50 will not be permitted to plead incom-
potency as their excuse for fragrant dsre-
gard of duty This Anti-Lottery bill is one
of many measures now in their keeping which
