ARIZONA PROTESTS
Against Abandoning the Military Post
Fort Whipple.

Fort Whipple.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 10.-GOvernor
McCOrd has telegraphed the Secreta-
~ of War, protesting against the
abandonment of Fort Whipple, sug-
gested in the last report TO the war
department.
"Whipple is now the only military
post in northern Arizona and is es-
sential," the governor declared, ito
the protection of half of the terri
tory's eXpanse, Il district constantly
exposed to deeds of outlawry and en-
bracing reservations of thousands of
Indians against whose occasional tur-
bulence nothing but military force is
ever effective. Even now there is a
serious and perhaps dangerous irri-
tation among the Navajoes with or
without cause. The national guard
is of slight strength in northern Ari-
iona, and the abolition of the fort
would be an error and a costly one
for the government and 1 want the
suggestion to be withdrawn"

THEN THESE THREE COMBINE
AND FORM A BUSINESS WITH
SSO,OOO,OOO CAPITAL.
Then. Y. Biscuit Co., The Ameri
can Biscuit Co.. And The United
States Biscuit Co.. Are The
Combine The N, Y. Co.
Will Probably Be Boss.

New York, Dec. 10.-It is probable
that within the next few days the great
bulk of the cracker and biscuit bust
ness of the United States will be con-
trolled by combination of the three
corporations that now share the trade
among themselves, says the New York
Times.
These three corporations are the
New York Biscuit company, the Amer
lean Biscuit and Manufacturing COM
pany and the United States Biscuit
company. The last named is incor-
porated in Pennsylvania and has its
headquarters in Pittsburg; the other
two are incorporated in Illinois and
have headquarters in Chicago. 1t is
generally supposed that the New York
Biscuit company will be in the lead and
it is said to have been the promoter of
the combination. This company has
for years been quietly absorbing its
rivals. The other two big concerns
have not been idle, but have been
position of equality with the New
York Biscuit company. Each has ac,
quired control of some other concerns
in its territory. The threefOld process
of absorption has gone on until these
three great companies now stand with.
out rivals except among themselves,
The combination now forming will put
an end to this limited rivalry and there
will then be but one biscuit concern
that will control the entire trade of the
country. Its combined capital will
be 10000 or $50, 100000.
The New York Biscuit company has
a capital of $1O,0OO,OOO. Its principal
office is in this city. Its principal of.
ficers are Henry ]. Evans, president
George w. West, secretary, and J. X
Wester, treasurer, all of whom live in
Chicago.
All the preliminary work of the new
combination, according to this com,
pany, has been done. The formation
of the union was begun as soon as it
WAS mutually understood that the
three companies had obtained control
of all the other large factories in the
country. When this was assured ne
gOtiationS for further combinations
were agreed upon and only the details
are TO be settled, it 81 said and the
union will he complete. 1t is also said
that there is not Il single concern out
side the combination that is wanted in
side of it. The headquarters of the
new organization will probably be es-
tablshed in this city.

Lewiston, Me-, Dec. 10.-Lewiston

agents are specializing on the possible
effect on local cotton manufacturing
at the proposed cut down at Fall Riv-
err One agent in an interview said
that the market was somewhat infiu-

situation might demand a reduction
in wages and curtailment of output.
Another said he hoped they would not
be compelled to cut, and he did not in
tend to borrow trouble. Another
said he considered it more advantag-
eous to curtail production than to re-
duce wages.

New Orleans. December 10.-The lee

Dryades street, was used as an audi

Boyer, of the Tulane University, on
his Investigations in the Indian
mounds of Louisiana, and particularly
those of Franklin and Natchitoches
parishes. The investigations We're be-
gun in the summer of 1896 and were
continued this summer under the aus
pices of the Tulane university and the
Louisiana Historical society. The
work this past summer was begun in
June in Como, La. on property be-
longing TO Mr.. C. II. Snyder. and clos
ed after ten or twelve of these mounds
had been examined. The excavations
which were dug from one mound were
compared with those of the others
and the conclusion was arrived at that
they We're used not as burial places
as was the popular belief, but was plac,
eses of refuge from overflows. Pieces
of bones, layers of shells, pottery skulls
and whole skeletons were uneaTthed
some of the specimens in 4 very fine
state of preservation. From a COM
parison of the findings of Prof b. had
come to the conclusion that they were
the remains and property of the In.

Rapids, Lewis River.
Victoria, b. c., Dec. 10.-Eiye or six
and perhaps seven lives have been lost
in the White Horse rapids, Lewis
river, during the last two months, ac-
cording to John Hepburn, who has
arrived from there. A boat built for
four or six men was found below the
rapinds one morning but there was no
trace of the occupants. They must all
have been drowned. There is now
very little open water between the
rapids and lakes, most of il being
frozen over.
At the White Horse rapids there
are about thirty people and there are
thirty-tive at the foot of Marsh Lake.
There are at least 100 more below
White Horse and many others have
gone into the Hootalinqua country to
inspect and prospect during the win
ter. Hepburn had heard of no strikes
being made on the Hootalinqua or
thereabounts, but a man named Da-
Wis washed $1,000 from the river bars
rich strikes will be made on the Hoo
talinqua this winter.
At Tagish house the weather was
bitterly cold. The Thermometer req
istered 80 degrees below zero. Among

CROWDED OUT BY THE SOUTH

Lowell. Mass, Dec. 10-The report.
ed decision of the Fall River manu-
facturers to reduce wages has not
aroused much comment in Lowell.
The increasing competition of the
southern plants has long been fOreseen
here and has been discounted TO as
great an extent as possible. Sever
al mills have already installed eNpen-
sive linen plants, and others have
changed over their machinery TO
run on special lines.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ALARMED.

Fall River, Dec. 10-The Arkwright
Club, a New England cotton manufac-
turers' organization, has appointed a
committee to investigate the cotton
manufacturing business of the South
ern states for the purpose of securing
definite and reliable information on
the subject in as much detail as pos
Sible. 1t is recognized that Southern
competition is largely responsible for
the demOraliZed condition of the local
print cloth market. The object of ap-
pointing the committee is to learn Of
ficially just what the situation in the
South is, and how large a share of the
general market Southern mills enjoy.
1t has been suggested here that Nor
thern and Southern mills link their in
terests, or, in other words, form q
trust, but one great obstacle in the
way of thus relieving the situation is
the difference between the cost of
manufacture in the South and in New
England.
