mates that the farmers of the United
States received $l,S61, 466, 900 for the
corn. wheat. cats, barley, rye, buck
wheat, potatoes and hay raised by them
last wear. This gives only one side OF
the account. The department does net
nretend to estimate the cost of produc-
ing these crops. Were it able to do 50
with so1ne approach to accuracy 1t
would be possible to form an idea OF
the profits of the American farmer.
Reasonably correct information on this
subject would be valuable and inter

CONSOLIDATION OF
DEPARTMENT STORES

New York, April 1O.-OfficIal notice
OF the rumored combination Of depart
ment stores was given yesterday by J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co., who solicit
subscriptions of the stock Of the AS
ISOLATED Merchants Company. The
company is capitalized at $20,OOO,OO
and proposes to acquire dry goods
businesses or interests in this and
other cities. The prospectus states
that a one-half interest hns been se-
cured in both the II. b. Clafiin COM
pany and the Adams Dry Goods Com
pany, and that James McCreery C
Co.'S Twenty-third street store has
been bought outright.
According to source closely con-
nected with the dry goods trade, the
syndicate being formed by John Claf-
lin Intends to purchase Il controlling
interest in each of the stores to be
included. A new controlling company
will then be formed. the common
stock of which will be exchanged for
the stocks Of the constituent compa-
nies, while some of the preferred will
be put on the market.
One consideration which makes the
transaction somewhat complicated is
the difficulty of determining fair val
uations for the various stocks. 1t is
not often that these securities change
hands. and well Informed dry goods
men say that 1t Is impossible In many
cases to name even an approximate
selling price.

RIG ROCK SLIDE AT VICTOR
DESTROYS A WHOLE FAMILY

and sisters, who were in the doomed
Tbe home of the Smiths was
crushed like q fragile piaythi.g IN the
hands Of a mighty giant, and the oc-
cupAnts met instant death.
The little girl who stood IN tae
doorway was, however, BY some
strange freak OF fate, pushed ahead OF
the mammoth slide and carried Dy y
to the engine house Of the Monument
mine on the opposite side Of the gulch:
where she was picked up, bruised ana
bleeding. but not fatally hurt.
The alarm Of the awful accident was
quickly carried to the city and ne.gn-
boring mines. Superintendent Ire
varthen Of the Portland, the nearest
big mine, called of all men at work
on the mine and set them at the TASK
Of excavating for the bodies OF tne
buried family.
A thousand spectators. men ana
women, who could not JOIN In the
work, nervously looked on from every
surrounding point Of vantage.
1t was, perhaps, about twenty min
utes after the work of rescue began
when the first body, that OF Mrs.
Smith, was taken out of the debris:
Near the spot where the mother feli.
the bodies of the little girl, Carrie. and
the boy. Davie, were found. These
from their position had evidently
reached the front Of the building In
an effort to escape. A half hour later
the body of Lizzie. the grown
daughter, was recovered. 1t required
an hour more of diligent search to hnd
the body of the boy. Warren. and the
remains Of the father were not taken
out until 0 o'clock.
Before darkness came on, electric
lights had been placed in position so
that the work could be continued With
out interruption. At IL o'clock the
dump was still sliding.
Two children of the family, Willie,
aged twelve, and James, fourteen,
were not at home at the time Of the ac-
cident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were natives OF
Boston. They came to the district hve
years ago. Mrs. Smiths mother, Mrs.

LOGAN STATUE UNVEILED
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S SPEECH

Some names instantly suggest
sentiment. That of Logan stands for
exalted patriotism. This was the key
of his success. Party politics to him
was nothing when the Union was in
danger.
"In Washington with most onerous
and eXacting senatorial duties resting
upon him, he was devoted 10 the wants
and necessities of his old comrades.
His sympathy, his services and his
limited purse were never denied them
In their need. He was among the first
commanders of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and to him We are indebted
for that beautiful service which Oh the
Both day Of May ench year brings to
the graves of the soldier dead, among
whom he now rests In everlasting COM
radeship. the offerings of an affection
ate people and the undying gratitude
Of a nation.
"As a popular orator his voice has
been heard In every state and territory
Of the Union, always for his country
and for the nag he loved.
"Tha highest eulogy ever paid him
was by his father. The latter in his
will divided his property between his
widow and children equally except
and quote from the will-'John Alex
ander, whose abilities are such that he
can provide for himself and his moth
er, II necessary. This provision is not
made from want Of affection, but be-
cause of unbounded confidence in his
future success"
what a remarkable tribute from
father to son! That expression of faith
was enough to quicken the young
mans noblest aspirations and call out
the best that was in him. And how
worthlly he vindicated the confidence.
To have inherited. to have deserved
and to have fulfilled that commenda-
tion from his fathers love and faith
Wen better than any inheritance OF
lands and tenements, stocks, bonds
and money. Beloved Of father, wife
and children, beloved Of his comrades
In war and peace. and beloved OF his
country, his whole life realized his
fathers prophecy and its words would
ladorn any monument to his fame"

standing in the doorway returning the
salute in her baby way, when the

ward her own home, escaping the nw-
full avalanche OF death, but her cries

INTERSTATE LAW IN
THE SUPREME COURT

Washington, April 1O.-In the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, Monday, an
opinion was handed down by Justice
White In various cases involving the
long and short haul clause Of the in
terstate commerce law, adverse to the
commission.
The principal opinion was rendered
in the cnse OF the East Tennessee &
Georcia Railroad Company, and the
charge was to the effect that a lower
rate was charged on freight carried to
Nashville than was charged on freight
to Chattanooga, the distance to the first
point being greater than to the latter
The decisions OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Circuit Court
and the Circuit Court of Appeals were
all antagOnistic to the railroad COM
pany, though on different grounds. The
opinion handed down to-day reversed
all these decisions and was In favor Of
the railroad company, though without
prejudice.
In his opinion in the East Tennes-
see case, Justice White decided that
the decision of the first court was not
In accord with the finding Of facts by
the commission. The decision of the
Supreme Court was that "the decree
OF the Circuit Court was that "the de
cree Of the Circuit Court of Appeals
should be reversed with costs, and the
case remanded - the Circuit Court,
with instructions to set aside Its de-
cree, adjudging that the order of the
commission be enforced and to dismiss
the application made for that purpose,
with costs, the whole to be without
prejudice to the right Of the commits
atom to nroceetl upOn the evidence al
ready introduced before II upon such
further pleadings and evidence as 1t
may allow to be made or introduced,
to hear and determine the matter in
controversy according to law"

Washington, April 1O.-The heroic
bronze equestrian statue Of Major
General John A. Logan, which rests
on nn imposing bronze pedestal In

the presence of the President, the
Cabinet, the widow and relatives of
the gallant soldier, many Of his com.
rades In arms and n vast multitude OF
people. The sculptor, Franklin Sim
mons, who was knighted by King
Humbert of Italy as a tribute to the
artistic character Of the work, was also
present.
Master George Tucker, grandson
of the honored warrior. pulled the un-
yelling cord at 2:45 o'clock. The folds
of the large American flag fell away

Logan, seated on his charger, stood re-
vealed, amid roar Of cheering that
echoed far down the intersecting
streets and avenues. The President
and members of the Cabinet were es-
corted to the statute by military pa

It has long been . disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
TO this continent across Bering strait
has been the lack OF resemblance In
culture between the aborigines OF this
country and the known races Of Asia.
This may be accounted for. Washing
ton scientist maintains. by the fact
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would in the course Of generations
have been. frozen out Of any migratory
peoples in their getting around BerinE
