ROCKEFELLER MAY NOT.
Standard Oil Financier's Aid TO Retail
Butchers Not Assured
Easy Hill Climbers.

New York, Aug. 24.-Oficers of the
Retail Butchers Protective association
are not discouraged by the denial of
the report that John D. Rockefeller
would help them in their fight against
the beef trust, which has advanced the
price of beef 2 cents a pound. They are
now pinning their faith to w. c. Whit
ney. and say they have excellent
grounds for believing that they VIII
have the active sympathy of the eX-
secretary OF the navy in their effort TO
establish here abattOirS Of their own,
where they will slaughter the beeveS
which they Will buy in the west and
distribute to their members on a CO.
operative plan.
George D. Rodgers, Mr. ROckefeller's
secretary, was quoted as saying that
the Standard Oil hnancier had not prom
ised in any way TO support the retail
butchers in their fight, and he laughed
at the idea that MIR. Rockefeller might
be moved thereto by a desire for re-
venge upon the Cudahys or any other
member of the big five"
Louis Wagner, president Of the butch
ers' association, when told of Mr.
Rodgers statement, said that it was
possible that Mr.. Rockefeller wished
to avoid publicity in the matter; never
theleSs it was close friend of his who
had told told the butchers that they
would probably find an ally in that
quarter. The committee OF butchers,
which had been appointed to see Mr..
Rockefeller. will call on him anyway,
teller refused to receive them. They
say his refusal would by no means
paralyze their fight against the trust,
though they would be glad to have him
on their side
Secretary Loeser is reported to have
asserted to have said that he had as
surances of the support of several
wealthy men, including Mr.. Whitney,
who would subscribe literally to the
stock. He expects the butchers will be
ready to do business on their own ac-
count about January I, next, and hopes
to have cooperative abattOirs in the
west as well as the east. The Retail
GrOcers' association of New York, it is
reported on the same authority, has
asked to have stock in the project, and
from the way in which applications are
coming in, it is expected that shares to
the extent Of $1,000,OOO will soon be ap-
piled for.
No one retail butcher will be allowed
to buy stock of more than s., O00, 900 par
value, it is now said. Mr. Loeser reports
that similar combinations to fight the
trust are organized by the retail butch
ers in Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo
Cincinnati, Cleveland and St Louis.

PRAISE FOR OTIS.
General Miles Declares He Is a Fine
Ohcer-Discusses Conditions.


New York, Aug. 24.-GeneraI Nelson
A. Miles said to the Philadelphia CORE
spondent of the Tribune:
THE new secretary of war is a man
of business. As a result very different
conditions already exist. The interests
of the country have demanded a Wig
orous prosecution of the war in the
Philippines; now they will have it.
4 know nothing about a change of
commanders on the islands. My COM
mand of the army has nothing to do
with the administration. AS major gem
eral commanding, I am responsible for
the health and discipline of the army.
Both are in excellent condition
General Otis is a fine officer. That
has been demonstrated by the splendid
morals of the army its health and it's
efficiency in the field in the Philippines.
THE inadequate force to meet the re-
quirements has been the cause of some
what abating the results which have
been achieved. Our army, nOtwith-
standing the vast superiority of the
enemy in numbers, has been victorious
in every engagement. The army may
be large and valiant enough to defeat
an army quadruple its size, but it takes
additional force to hold the towns in
an enemy'S country and to cover lines
of cOmmunica ton.
About 20 per cent of our army under
any conditions is practically inactive
OWING 10 various duLleS ABOUT the camp
and in hospitals, transportation, sick
ness and various other causes. In the
civil war only a portion of the army
operated on the fighting line. A great
bulk of the troops were engaged in
various duties in the rear
Much embarrassment has been oc-
casioned by the supplying of the enemy
with food and munitions of war by their
friends in Manila and Hong Kong. not
to speak of encouragement from their
friends in the states It is difficult to
discriminate in the enemy's country
between -combatants and foes

The Remington Aids Dreyfus-

The persecution of Dreyfus reads, it
is true like some tale from the Dark
Ages, but the story in some things has
a very modern setting We hear for
example that three Remington type
writer's are being used officially at the
Rennes trial Perhaps it's an encour-
aging sign. If the men who compose
the court have a 1.-THE of the modern
enlightened ideas which are shown in
these dumb machines, then the prison

Bravo for Governor Stone!

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 6.-In a
letter which Governor Stone wrote to-
day to W. S. Grcnoble. Of Gettysburg,
declining to sign petition addressed
to the Secretary of the Navy urging
that one of the new cruisers be named
the ''Gettysburg,' the Executive
said
If naming u cruiser Gettysburg
would alone honor and distinguish the
excellent town of that name would
not hesitate to join with you in this
request; but to the whole country and
to the civilized world that name typi-
tie, great battle, which settled a
controversy between the North and
the South of our country. To both
sections it recalls a great heroic strug-
gle. The victory was with the North,
the defeat with the South.
In the recent war with Spain the
North and the South were blended as
one in defense Of the flag. Our battle
ships and cruisers are manned by
sailors and marines from both the
North and the South, and 1 do not
think it wise that name should be
selected for any Of our vessels which
will revive the unpleasantness which
grew out of the civil war and existed
for so many years.
"Let Gettysburg be honored and
revcred as the site of great battle,
wherein the survivors Of the Northern
army and the survivors Of the South
ern army can alike uphold the valor of
their comrades. I am not in favor of
giving any vessel in our navy name
which will distinguish battle fought
by Americans against Americans"
