TO PUT ON A PLAY.
Striking Machinists to Begin Cam
paign of Education.

Chicago, March 2S-According to
President James O'Connell of the Ma
chinists' union, who returned here from
Cleveland today, it is the intention of
the Machinists' union to begin cam
paign of education on the subject of
labor unions. For this purpose a theatre
cal company has been organized which
will present melodrama dealing with
labor problems. The play was written
by General Organizer Stewart Reid of
the Machinists' association, and it is
proposed to secure dates in all the prin-
cipal manufacturing towns of the mid
die west. Any profits will be devoted
to the machinists' fight.
President O'Connell, who has been
experimenting the machinists' strike in
Cleveland, said today that the strike
there practically had been won as
eighteen firms had already signed the
union agreement. He expected with
confidence that the strike in Chicago
would also be settled within a week.
No further attempts at arbitration,
however. OsConnell said, would be made.

BOOM IN PORK.
May Reaches the Highest Point

Chicago, March 2S-Hog products

breaking price records, added enough
more to their figures today to create in
terest outside the board of trade. May
pork closed yesterday at $12.021a and by
noon today had advanced 4715 cents.
This price, $3.50 is the highest paid for
May delivery since March, 1895. De-
sold at 1886. Since that date lard and
short ribs have each advanced a dollar
or over. Finished hogs are scarce.
They cost relatively more than their
products. Packers are paying about
$3.50 for hogs on the hoof and the pres
ent price of product is only about SO So
over that. There is a stiff demand for
product for immediate delivery and
consequently sales for future delivery

peka; as with nearly all other Ameri-
can cities, your trees are too close to-

in others. 1 think the planting of trees
on parkings should be under the direc
tion of the park commission or city
forester. Detroit is the neatest city L
know of in America. The vacant lots
there are kept from growing up to

A FLYING TRIP.
j. PierpOnt Morgan Sails For
Europe Today
To Hold Conference With w.
*. Vanderbilt.
BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Which Wall Street Has Been
Waiting For
Is Now About to Be COnsummat-
ed 1t Is Said.
IIG RAILROAD DEAL.

New York, March 2S.-The Herald
says: ]. Pierpont Morgan will sail for
Europe on the White Star liner Teu-
tonic today His stay abroad will be
brief, but it promises to be important.
He is to meet William K. Vanderbilt
in London to arrange, it is said. a big
railroad deal for which Wall street has
been waiting and hoping for at least
two years. Important European finan-
cial interests are also to be seen re-
garding the same matter.
These statements come from close
friends of Mr.. Morgan. They say that.
although arranged some time ago, the
hurried trip is not to the liking Of the
financier.
But the matter is too important to
be neglected, even though the death of
Charles H. Coster has complicated af-
fairs in Mr.. Morgan's office to such an
extent that his absence at this time is
inconvenient.
Beyond that it directly concerns New
York Central and its allied lines, no in
timatiOn of the real nature Of the mat
ter which makes necessary a conference
between Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Wander
bilt can be obtained. Wall street knows
that the two men are more closely al
lied now than ever before. and that
they had plans in common for the de-
velopment of big railroad schemes even
before they stood together in the De-
cenbcr panic to protect mutual inter
ests and one another's friends
1t is known that the Morgan and
Vanderbilt railroads are now working
harmoniously, even as they never did
before and Wall street has q vague
notion that in the Vanderbilt plans for
the Western extension of the great New
York Central system, Mr.. Morga n4cutS

previously occupied Jagersfontein. Mag

scenes resembled the American oecupa-

Among the spectators at Fauersmith
was President Steyn's daughter.
Heavy rains made General Clements
march hard and are causing sickness
among the troops.
A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland,
dated Tuesday, March q, says the ap-
parently reliable reports that the Beers
are re-entering Ladybrand cause the
presumption that the British troops
have crossed the line of the Boer re-
treat towards KroOnstadt, and that a
fight or surrender near Iadybrand, is
imminent As Maseru dispatches are
not distinguished for their accuracy,
and as the British force near Lady
brand under Colonel Pitcher, is quite
small, nothing very definite seems likely
to result from the operations.
Advices from Simonstown say that
the sickness there is unabated and
many prisoners are in a serious condi-
ton.
The only word from General Butler is
a report of the officers who have recov-
cred from wounds and who have re-

shape and the horses are picking uI

However, the reports regarding the

so conflicting that they can not be
taken in any way as authoritative.
