SPOILED BY RAIN.
Aldershot. Eng. June 16.-The indis-
position Of King Edward and the inces-
SAINT downpour of rain combined to eff
fectually spoil the grand review of

OF Red Wing, Mimi, who was deported
from the Philippines by General MacAr-
thur for. publishing alleged libels on the
army, came up liz the house to-day, and
Mr.. Teibert, Is. c., made it the text of a
speech against this class of bills He
referred to the veto of the president just
read in the case Of Emanuel Klauser and
his other vetoes of like bills. He said:
am glad to see that the chief executive
has come to my assistance to keep the roll
OF honor from being besmirched by deserters.
While disagree with the president in almost
everything else, l heartily indorse his posi-
ton in this matter. ! have protested against
the passage Of these desertion bills for ten
years.
He moved to lay aside the bill with an
unfavorable report.
Mr.. Mondell, (Wyo.), declared that the
bill did not seek to remove the charge of
desertion. Rice, he said, was an officer
and had been unjustly dismissed for being
absent without leave.

tached to that lease its value, If anything,
is purely speculative. In this situation it
seeks the power to incur debt without limit.
1t is one thing to grant a railway company
the right to borrow money needed to aid in
construction and equipment of their lines
1t is quite another thing to authorize a
class of railway companies to incur unlim-
tied obligations without respect to the
amount of their stock or worth Of their
property.
cannot bring myself to believe that this
species of special legislation is consistent with
the public welfare or necessary to the legt-
innate development of railway property. On
the contrary, it is my firm belief that cor
porate power to issue stocks and incur debts
needs regulation rather than expansion.
To the wise judgment of the general assem-
bly, submit these objections for such con-
sideration AS the constitution prescribes.
trust is is not inappropriate to say that
express my dissent with utmost difference and
regret, and that nothing but an Imperative
sense Of duty could have constrained me to
withhold approval from an act passed by the
majority of both houses of the legislature.

MOST GREEDY
OF OCTOPI
Beef Trust Makes $Ioo, ooo,-
900 by One Turn of
the Screw.
Immediate Duplication Of
These Enormous Profits
Is Possible.
few York SIN spscxaS Services


: New York, March 2S.-The Herald says
that absolutely controlling trade aggre-
eating $600,000,00O annually, the unot1-
cial combination of interests known as
the beef trust has succeeded, after many
years Of organization and expansion, in
so completely dominating the provision
markets of the United States that indie
pendent competition is killed. The STRAIT
egic policy of the beef trust has become
steadily more despotic and aggressive, un-
til wholesale and retail butchers in New
York and other cities who will not sign
the ironclad agreement of the Chicago
combination are driven out of business by
scores. both by being cut off from supplies
and being openly undersold by the agen-
cies especially established for the pur-
pose of crushing competition.
The latest squeeze" engineered by or
ders from the pooled interests of the
houses forming the trust is the boldest on
record, and the middlemen and consuming
population of New York have been forced
to pay, within the last week, advances on
prices already abnormally high of from
3 to cents for beef, mutton and pork.
There has been similar rise in other
cities, until the increased profits of the
beef trust over the scale Of 1901 are con-
servatively estimated at $100,0O0,0O0. The
recent movement makes fresh meat an
almost prohibitive luxury to thousands OF
families In this city.
It Is within the power of the beef trust
to order another advance and pocket an
other 500, 100000, with the mere labor OF
telegraphing the new schedule to their
agents in every city and town in the
United States. OF the $500, 100000 of year
ly business $56O,000,OO0 is handled by only
four firms.

RHODES RICHES
South Africa's Benefit and
Not Particular Persons
to Absorb Them.

London, March 2S.-Englishmen, acous-
toned to TRADES from the continent on
the subject Of the Jameson raid, are
amazed by the worldwide tribute to the
unique greatness of Cecil Rhodes. Even
the leader writer's here were constrained
by memories Of the parliamentary inquiry
to admit his completely in the raid against
the Dutch republics and estimate his blum
ders as commensurate with his services
to the empire, but now that the worlds
press ranks him with Give and Hastings
as an empire builder, they are suggest
ing the substitution Of Westminster
Abbey for his own place Of burial in the
Matoppo hills.
Those intimate with Mr.. Hawksley, who
drew Mr.. Rhodes will, are confident that
the mining and other investments have
been pooled and left en- bloc as trust
for the benefit of South Africa. Those
closely associated with Mr.. Rhodes do not
expect special requests. They assert that
it was one Of Mr.. Rhodes cardinal prin-
ciples that personal service should be we'll
recompensed during his life, and that the
bulk Of his fortune should be reserved
for public purposes in South Africa.

CANNOT PARDON
President Roosevelt Thinks Con.
Sress Has Assumed Too Much

President Roosevelt Thinks Con-
gress Has Assumed Too Much.
Washington, March 2S.-President
Roosevelt to-day sent to the house veto
of the bill for the relief Of manuel Klau-
ser from the charge Of desertion. The
president says: .....
This BILL like the senate bill in the case of
James W. Howell, not only authorizes the
president to act, but also orders the secretary
of war to revoke the order approving the
proceeding, findings and sentence Of a general
court-n1artial and to grant an honorable dis
charge. 1t appears to imply the possession
by congress Of the power of overrulins land
reversing by statute a valid judgment. If it
did not dc that it was simply an exercise of
the pardoning power 1t is questionable
whether congress possesses either of these
powers, and when the bill directed the secre-
tary Of war to revoke an order. congress in
fact did the thing which it ordered him to do.

500 STOCK
Good Dividend on Preferred
Will Probably BeDeclared
This Summer.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, March 2S.-In view Of the
large earnings of the 500 line and the
fact that the Canadian Pacific advances
have all been paid, it is not unnatural
that there should be persistent rumors
regarding the probability Of early divi-'
dends on preferred. 1t is stated, however,
that the matter Of declaring dividend
on preferred has never been discussed
by the directors, and it is not likely to be
before June at the earliest. Some time
in summer the question will come up, and
it is likely to be acted upon favorably.
Preferred is entitled to per cent divi-
dends, but assuming that the average
monthly increase so far shown in the
present fiscal year is maintained, more
than three times full dividend would be
shown for preferred. Stockholders who
made inquiries regarding the dividend
outlook have been informed, as to the
probability of action the coming summer
and are disposed to hold their stock.

IN SESSION.
Presidents of the Three Roads
Are Together in
St. Paul.
A Shake-up Among Minor
Officials Is Regarded
as Probable.

The continued presence in st. Paul of
President George V. Harris of the Bur-
lington and his conferences with Presi-
dents Hill and Mellen have given rise
to the belief that the three merger rail-
roads are contemplating some changes in
policy and are forming some new sort of
traffic agreement. MI. Harris has been in
st. Paul four days, a much longer period
than Is generally necessary for the trans
action of minor business
Yesterday General Manager G. w. Hold.
redge of the Burlington & Missouri River
road was summoned TO St. Paul, and ar
rived early to-day. The Burlington &
Missouri River is the extension of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which taps
the Northern Pacific at Billings, Mont.
The arrival of Mr.. Holdredge gave rise
to the belief that the merger roads are
about to put into effect some changes of
policy regarding the handling and divi-
sion Of traffic. 1t is hardly likely that the
roads would, at this inopportune time,
carry out any of the radical plans said to
be contemplated under the merger, owing
to the cases now pending in the federal
courts. 1t is not unlikely, however, that
there may be shifting around of some
OF the minor officials of the various roads
One report was that Mr.. Holdredge
would be made assistant to- President
'Mellen, Of the Northern Pacific, to sue
coed Thomas Cooper, made general agent.
The first assistant to the president is
virtually western general manager, al
though he does not have that title. Put
ting Burlington man on the Northern
Pacific might assist materially in carry
ing out Mr.. Hills plans, s2though the
act in itself would not be revolutionary
enough to attract much attention.

SALTWATER LAD DIED INSTANTLY
the Stone From the Muttla-

Special to The Journal.
Saltwater, Mimi, March 28.-At noon
to-day Carl, the 6-year- old son. of John
Olson, was crushed to death in the South
Hill stone quarry. The father is en-
ployed in the Atwood A mill, and the
little fellow set out to meet him. Ct
tracted by the sand in the bottom Of the
quarry, he stopped few minutes to play
when a boulder, weighing several TONS
crashed down the side of the quarry and
upon the boy. The services of thirteen
men were required in removing the stone
from the boys body, which was crushed
in a horrible manner. Coroner Freleigh
found that death was purely accidental
and held no inquest.

Strange Confession Avails Not in
This Murder Case.
Salt Lake, Utah, March 2S.-The state
supreme court to-day handed down an
opinion affirming the decision OF the lower
court in the Lynch King murder case.
Lynch and King, whose real name was
Pagiri, were convicted of the murder of
Colonel Prowse, a we'll known sporting
character, in Salt Lake gambling house,
in September, 1900. Two months ago
convict in the Colorado penitentiary at
Canon City, named Strange, made the
statement that it was he (Strange) and
not King that did the shooting, and
hard tight to save Kings life has been
made by the Italian consul. A second
application for new trial will be made
to the lower court and unless this is
granted, the condemned men will proba-
bly, be shot in May
