THE practical failure Of the corn
crop" he continued, "in some of the
western states, which heretofore fur
nished the greatest portion of the sup
ply to the people Of this country, and
the consequent increase in price, will
cause the distillers TO pay a-grcat deal
more for their raw material than they
have been in the habit of doing in the
past. The consumers in this instance.
as In all others since the law of supply
and demand has been known, will, of
course. be compelled to pay this in
crease in price. a number of people
In this country are probably not
aware of the fact that about rs percent.
of the whisky distilled in this coun-
try is made from corn. Thousands
every day are drinking what they sup
pose TO be rye, when in reality II is
nothing more than colored corn Juice.
Out In Kansas, Nebraska. Missouri and
Iowa there will be less corn harvested
this year than ever before in my rec.
ollection. Taking into consideration
that these four states, where nearly
all the corn in the United States Is
raised, or rather an enormous percent
age OF II, are so short as to the output
this year, 1t can be readily seen what
effect the decrease will have on the
market Distillers will be forced to
pay we'll for their corn. and the only
avenue OF escape for them Is TO make
tho consumers fork over the differ
ence."

Sweet Abbeville, oft in coming years,
When liie's bright morn is dimmed with

Thy mem'ry Ger my soul shall come.
My early thoughts delightful home!
Here when my sky was fair and bright
And hope shed forth her fair light,
danced away life's golden hours.
Mid pleasures fair and roseate bowers
My bosom knew no cause Of grief,
NY times OF woe we're few and brief;
My life was like an April day
Alas too soon 1t passed away
But thee I never can forget,
The spot where Oft times have met
The youthful friends whom once knew,
Forever faded from my view!
Sweet spot the years may pasF away.
Thy memory with me shall stay;

DETAILS OF THE CONFERENCE REFUSED
-PINKERTON MEN NOT ENGAGED.

The highest officials OF the United States Steel
Corporation were unanimous yesterday in say
ing that there was new development in the
steel strike situation.
mo change. There is nothing to say" was
the answer which invariably received by
the searcher for news. Charles NJ Schwab
president of the United States Steel Corporation
called at the Office Of ]. P Morgan shortly be-
fore 11:3O o'clock. Fifteen minutes later Mr.
Morgan Joined him. Mr. Schwab was accom-
panied by a stranger. whom several persons be-
lieved to be John Jarrett, secretary Of the
labor bureau OF the American Sheet Steel
Company but at the Office Of the latter
company it was said that Mr.. Jarrett had
not yet arrived from Cambridge Springs. Penn
report quickly circulated in the Street
that secret conference under way at Mr.
Morgans office, but this rumor could not be con-
firmed When announcement was made of the
settlement of the Northern Pacific fight by Mr.
Morgan's letter to his associates, the rumor con-
cerning the conference generally discounted
President Schwab left the office of the banker
shortly before 1 o'clock. When asked TO reply TO-
President Shaffer's alleged statement to the
effect that the strike would be ended at once II
the manufacturers would allow the Amalga-
mated association to organize the non-union
plants Mr. Schwab shook his head and begged
to be excused.
Warner Ames, vice president of the American
Tin Plate Company, held conference with sew
eral of his colleagues. but he refused to diVulge
any part of their deliberations 1t was said that
formal conference would be called between
the principals until the strikers approach the OF
ficials with a view to effect settlement Inc
manufacturers, it was said, have no misglving
as the end of the trouble. They believe that
public opinion is on their side and are confident
that the strike will be lifted with compara-
lively small amount of injury to themselves
They realize that the situation is serious. but be-
lieve that the strike will not be of long dura-
ton.
r. A Pinkerton said yesterday that his agency
had not been asked by the steel corporation to
furnish men in the mill districts. He continued:
I'VE are of the strike business, ana nave
been for ten years.
