TWO SITES IN CONSIDERATION
PLANT TO BE LOCATED AT SOUTH
ST. PAUL OR NEW
BRIGHTON
FORMER PLACE Is FAVORED
Establishment of New Industry VIII
Increase Business to the
Extent of at Least
s5,OoO,OOO.

Cudahy Bros, the big Chicago packers,
nave decided to locate a large brircl
IN the vicinity of the Twin Cities If ia
said that negotiations have been un ler-
way for more than a month. but they
nave been conducted in so quiet a man
ner that not even a hint of the impend-
ing deal became known until yester-
day
1t was learned yesterday that Cudahy
Bros. have fully decided on an invasion
OF the Northwest, and the only remain
Ing obstacle is the securing of a plant.
There are but two plants near the Twin
Cities that are available. One is the
Dakota conpany's house, located at
South st. Paul, which has been vacant
for some time, and the vacant pant at
New Brighton. The Cudahys have had
representative in St Paul for the past
week who has been looking over the two
locations. 1t is known that Patrick
Cudahy Is very much in favor of the
South st. Paul plant, due to the fact
that it is located within the Union stock
yards, and for the better reason that he
believes that a concentration Of the busi-
ness will bring better results for all. In
the face Of this, however, the New
Brighton plant has been considered. and
it is said that people interes-e ed there are
putting forth many claims for that Ioca-
tion.
The Dakota plant at South ST. Paul
has capacity of about 1000 hogs per
day and is well equipped with modern
machinery. The Union Stock Yards COM
pany has been making every effort to
find a tenant for this plant and look on
the coming of Cudahy Bros. with much
favor. 1t is said that they have made
Patrick Cadahy very beFal propos tion
and one that he will probably accept
Gen. M. d. Flower, president Of the
Union Stock Yards company, is out Of
the city, so that the nature of the nego-
tiations that have been going on canRot
be learned
It is said that Swift & Co, who now
occupy the main plant at South ST.
Paul, are very much in faveF-e of the
company is lending all the assistancs
possible to bring that result abort. South
st. Paul has always been known as a
"one-man market" owing TO the fact that
but one large concern is located there.
This has been detrimental to the inter-
ests of all, and it is said to be a GER
tainty that with this obstacle removed
the South st. Paul market will prosper
wonderfully.
1t is promised that something of a
definite nature will be known within a
very few days, and it has been sugg ssted
that in the meantime it would be well
for the business people of st. Paul TO
lend all the help possible in order that
the efforts of the Minneapolis and New
Brighton people may be overshadow
Withthe additional plant at South st.
Paul it is conservatively estimated that
the business of the place would be in
creased $5,CO00.0 a year.

PACKERS, WAR A ..PIPE."
Reliable Authorities Stamp Is as a
Bare-Faced Fable.

During the past day or two, several
stories, bearing on a so-called war among
the meat packers, have appeared in tie
daily papers in the cities where some Of
the larger packing plants are located. It
was alleged that the big packers, Morris
Swift and Armour had determined to
freeze out the small fry. and in the small
fry were included Cudahy Rros-, Of Chi
cago. and the Omaha. Packing company,
of Omaha. 1t was said that the war was
directed against these two mainly for
the reason that they had violated an
agreement entered into some months aga
and it was decided to carry the war
against all small concerns at the same
time. Every effort was made by the
G. orb yesterday to ascertain the facts
Among the representatives Of the out-of-
town packing concerns no one could be
found who knew anything CT the war.
J. S. Bangs general mana ger of the
Swift & Co. plant at SoCth St. Paul, was
seen Yesterday He did not content him
self with a denial OF the story. Dut
stamped it as a fake pure and simple.
''Stories Of this nature have APP cared IN
Chicago papers from time to time" sad
Mr.. Bangs This last one, however, Is
founded on imagination, nothing more.
1t is undoubtedly the work Of some space
writer. I would certainly know about
such a. thing as this were it based on
fact. 1 will say positively that there
has been no intention of making war
against either of the large concerns men
toned, or against the small local houses

THE GUEST OF AUSTRIA
CORDIAL RECEPTION TO KAISER
wILHEI-M,s OLDEST Roy.

BERLIN. April 15.-The German press
prints columns regarding the doings of
Crown Prince Frederick at Vienna,
pointing out particularly the enthusiasm
with which he was received there by the
populace and court.
Private advices say that the crown
prince was somewhat flushed, being un-
used to such ovations, but he soon re-
covered his self-possession, and at last
nights banquet delivered his toast in
resonant tones and with military pre-
csion.
The reports of the toast of the Austrian
press varies, and the Vienna official press
differs from the semi-oficial papers,
omitting the phrase comrades in arms, -
adding phrase about the crown princes
thanks for a most cordial reception. All
accounts agree that he spoke without
notes, while the emperor of Austria read
from manuscript.
Today the crown prince took breakfast
with the Saxon minister to Austria,
Count Won Rey.

dent Joseph Smith, of the reorganized
church of the Latter Day Saints, today
announced to the conference in session
at independence, Mo-, that the Lord had
revealed His will to him relative to two
subjects which have been mooted ques-

are whether women delegates should be
allowed to act in legislative capacity in
the church and whether priests and
teachers who are not delegates should
be allowed an ex-off1cio vote in the con-
ference. The entire day yesterday was
devoted to fasting and praying many of
the supplications asking for the Lords
will upon these questions, and the con-
ference was pleased to hear President
Smith announce that the prayers had
been answered. The body of the church

elation until the quorum of twelve and
other official bodies have approved it.

HAYS HARD TASK.
SENATE WILL BALK ON ANY 18TH
AuAN CANAL TREATY.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Long inter-
views were had today between Secretary
Hay and Senators Foraker and Lodge
supposedly with reference to the proposed
isthmian canal treaty which is to re-
place the Hay-Pauneefote treaty if Sec
retary Hay succeeds in his task of rec
onciling the views of the views of the
senate and the Administrations The talks
that the secretary OF state thus far has
had with senators on the subject of a
canal treaty have revealed consider
able opposition to any treaty at all. some
senators insisting that nothing more is
requisite to the construction of the canal
than the abrogation of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, and it is still far from certain
that treaty can be drafted that will
command the support Of two-thirds of
the senate and still be reasonably ac-
ceptable to Great Britain.
