"A Big BISCUIT war.
Battle Between the New York and
American Biscuit Companies.
4 SWEEPING REDUCTION N PRICES.
Both Corporations Are Backed by Big
Capital, and the Fight Promises
to Be . Long, Hot and
Interesting One.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-The Times-Herald
publishes the following:
A big trade war between the New
York Biscuit and the American Biscuit
companies is on. Late Tuesday the
New York company decided upon
sweeping reduction, averaging IS per
cent, in the price Of all the goods sold
by it, and its cut rates are being cir
culated. They take effect from one
end of the country to the other. 1t is
the biggest cut in the price Of crackers
and cakes that ever has been made,
and the corporation which went
through such speculative reaction
last summer has now donned its fight
ing clothes and with its rich hackers
is determined to see the war in the
biscuit business to the end.
The New York has a capital stock OF
SO, 600, 900 and 20 bakeries, from which
it issues score or more OF different
kinds of crackers and cakes under the
general designation of biscuits. 1t has
in this city the largest and best'equip-
ped bakery in the west. 1t is from
this center that the fight will be
directed. All the other bakeries OF
the company are in the east, but its
headquarters are here in Chicago.
The American has about 40 bakeries.
distributed pretty generally through
out the country. 1t has four or five
small ones in Chicago, the headquar'
ters also of that company. This cor
poration has an authorized capital OF
1000, ,OOo, though the amount issued
is not furnished in its annual state
ments, since it is close organization,
controlled almost exclusively by the
bakers, whose plants are in the com
bination. But their capital indicates
something Of the size and importance
of the two concerns which manu-
facture crackers and cakes for distri'
button in every part OF the United
States. There is no reason to believe
that the consumer, who pays all the
way from five to 40 cents pound fol
the products of the companies, vii
reap any benefit from the conflict, bn'
it will be good thing for the grocers
At the same time. if continued very
long, it will necessarily make large
hole in the profits Of the competing
companies, since the reduction OF 3;
per cent, in gross income will absorl
the big end of the net revenue OF any
ordinary business.

GEN. ALFRED PLEASONTOh.
Another of the Distinguished Soldiers Of
the civil War Gone.

Another OF the Distinguished Soldiers OF
the civil War Gone.
= WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Gen. Alfred
Pleasonton, one of the most distin-
guished cavalry officers on the Union
side during the late civil war, died at
his apartments here at a. IN.
His death was calm and resulted
from a system worn out with ac-
tivity and work. A nurse and
his physicians only were with him.
He has no relatives nearer than nieces
and nephews. For the past six years
he has lived the life Of recluse, sur
rounded by his books and enjoying
the society OF a few friends OF his
army days. He received comforta-
BILE pension from congress few
years ago, which enabled him to pass
the declining years of his life in
ease and comfort, as his wants were
few. This pension money was beyond
his meager personal wants, and he
freely gave to less fortunate and more
needy army comrades.
Gen. Pleasonton was born June 2
1924, was graduated from West Point
in 1874 and served in the Mexican ant
civil wars with distinction. In 1881
he was placed on the retired list OF the
army with the rank of colonel.

New YORK, Feb. ia Herald spe-

Cushman K. Davis, Of Minnesota, is to
be chairman of the senate committee

tor Sherman upon the resi- gnation of
the latter to become secretary of state.
Senator Frye, of Maine, is next to
Senator Sherman in rank on the COM

mittee on commerce, and he has let it
be known among senators that he
prefers to retain that chalrmanship
rather than take that OF foreign rela-
tions.
Senator Davis is one of the acl1nowl-
edged authorities on international
law in the senate He will relinquish
the craftsmanship of the committee on
territories, and it is probable that
Senator Shoup will succeed him IN that
place, thus vacating the chairman

Mr.. Palmer (dem., I'LL denounced
the bill as an outgrowth OF nativism-

The educational conditions imposed by
the bill upon immigrants were, in his
opinion. essentially and radically un-
