MAY LEAVE CHICAGO.
The Dressed Meat Companies Consider
Dividing Their pants.

Dividing Their Plants
CHICAGO. ILL, July 29-One OF the
most disastrous effects OF the great
strike to Chicago, it is feared, VIII be
the disintegration OF the great plants
at the Union Stock Yards. On account
OF the labor unions which exist there,
Ii is said that the intention Is 10 scat
ter the great packing-houses. -Four OF
the big packing houses-Swift, Ar
mour, Morris and the Chicago and Pro-
vision Company-have seriously con-
sldered the change, and ii is said COM
mittee is now at work making arrange
ments for the move.
One of the big packers at the yards,
in speaking OF the matter to-day, SAID:
"Such a move was in contemplation Tor
some time by at least four OF the largest
establishment at the yards.
"Such a candidate would be heavy
blow at Chicago's present supremacy In
the live stock trade, and would mean
the loss OF millions Of dollars every year
In the volume OF business done Ia the
city. / do not mean that any oil the
establishments now in packing town
would remove their entire plants, out
that they will reopen some OF the now
defunt houses 10 other cities, so that
they will not have all their eggs In one
basket in case OF any further trouble
with their employees"
The great railroad strike OF 1877 and
the Knights OF Labor strike Of 1886 did
more than any other events to break up
the live stock trade Of Chicago, and
were directly responsible for the estao-
lishment OF most OF the smaller packing
houses throughout the West. For
time these plants were successful, but
gradually the trade worked back into
the old channels, and at the present
time Chicago has no worthy competitor
for the business.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL


British Capitalists Becoming Intersstsd
in It-A scheme TO Buy Controlling In
ierest in 1t aud Resell to Americans
LONDON, July 29.-Consideraele In
terest has been aroused here In tbs re-
port to the United States Congress by
the Cons ittee of Commerce, accom-
pauying Congressman Mallory's Mica
raguan Canal bill. and the statement
that the differences between the Mica.
raguan Canal Company and the Govern
ment of Nicaragua have been settled
has been industrionsly circulated In
London financial circles.
In 1855 the group of men headed by
Colonel North, which includes . large
following in Liverpool, OF which Messrs.
w. & j. Lockett are the leading repre-
sentatives, put on paper financial
plan, and were prepared to find 9.0o0,-
900 sterling In cash to help build
canal.
The most i'm portant member OF this
combination would have been LORD
Rothschid, who wax so interested that
he summoned . conference OF the heads
OF the firm. The Paris house, however,
made such strenuous opposition to the
Rothschilds being known Ia connection
with Nicaragua, in view OF the then APP
preaching dissolution OF the Panama
Company, that Lord Rothschild told Ii.
+. Pollock, of Messrs. Pain, Son 81 Pol
lock, that he would still continue in the
project but that 1t must be so arrapg-
ed that the late j. s. Morgan should In
his own name represent the Roths-
childs.
The syndicate plan at that time fell
through, owing TO the disputes as TO
title between the Menocal and Black
man companies. Then the Menocal
people succeeded In raising money In
Glasgow from the Coates-Arthur group
Of Glasgow capitalists.
The matter is now again on the tapis
in London. 4 certain mysterious Amer
lean OF the name OF Read has arrived
here and has again approached the
North group, Mr.. Robert Harvey and
others. mir. Reads plan, however, does
not aim at finding the capital for cut
ting the canal. The Nicaragua Canal
Construction Company, OF which ex-
Senator Warner Miller was president,
is, us everybody knows, in the hands OF
receiver.
Mr.. Read is trying to raise f4o,oeo
with which to buy from the receiver
on behalf OF London syndicate, q con-
trolling interest-5l per cent.-in
the shares OF the Construc-
ton Company at SIS per share.
AS soon as this is accomplished
the fact is to be trumpted throughout
the United States that British syndi-
cate has bought up the Nicaragua Ca
nal, and In the anger OF dismay that Is
thus created, Mr.. Reads syndicate ex-
poets TO resell TO Americans at very
handsome advance per share. He has
already secured over half OF his $40, 600.
II, however, Congress should In the
meantime pass q bill guaranteeing in.
terest OF the bonds OF the company 1t
would probably pay Mr.. Reads friends
to resell in London. The international
aspect OF the question In view OF this
transaction need not be gone into now.

SpFe:aI 20 ms Rs7tsts-.
KINGwooD, w. VA, July 29.-Peter
+. Smith predicts the weather for Au-
gust as follows: On nearing the close
of July a very high temperature will
prevail in all sections, which will be
followed by a wave Of disturbance CEN
tering on the opening OF the month,
relieving large portions OF the country
from excessive heat. Conditions do not
favor rains evenly distributed over sec
lions of the country, but rather the
converse In the interior portions; how
ever. the lake districts aud the north
east are likely to be supplied with
enough desired for vegetation. Locally
In narrow belts, portions OF the interior
may be relieved by showers, while large
districts may be deficient in moisture.
From about the sth TO the 18th very
heated period will prevail, which then
will be relieved by fresh ozone. A
disturbed period Of showers will
likely attend the 10th, 18th
and i2th; however the threatening APP
pearance of the clouds will pass off In
buster. attended by narrow belts OF
rainfall. From the 18th to the 22d
will be a period OF high temperature,
when a wave Of disturbance will inter-
cept 1t, attended by light and scatter
ing showers OF rain, which will be the
introduction OF q wave OF more mild
temperature, which will then disrobe
the month Of some part of its furnace
like heat. The 2Sth Of the month will
likely bring some refreshing showers.
The month is not likely TO experience
any violent interior wind storms In the
character OF cyclones or tornadoes
which nave rotary motion around a
central axis
