A GIGANTIC TRUST
To Be Formed Among the Big
Packing Firms.
Looks for 20 Per Cent. Profit on
$500, 100000 Capital.
Armour, Cudahy, Morris, Swift and
Others in the Deal.

Chicago. Aug. 31.-A giant combina-
ton of all packing plants of the coun-
try, to be known as the United States
Packing Co, with an estimated annual
business of from $3.50, 900 to 81 900, =
600, 900. transacted on a probable CAPT
talization of $780, 1000, 000 and returning
a yearly profit of from $4,000, 900 to
500, 100000; probable head of the COM
bine, j. Ogden Armour; to be president.
Gustavus f. Swift; profit on volume
of business. 10 per cent; profit on cap
ital stock. 20 per cent.
These are some of the details, grad
ually coming to the surface in financial
circles. of the most gigantic and far
reaching of all the trusts yet projected
Notwithstanding repeated and positive
denials from Armour, Swift and Other
local interests, the proposed combine is
accepted as a certainty.
This trust overshadows the United
States Steel Corporation, otherwise
known as 1.-The billion dollar steel
trust" for where people now know of
the big steel trust merely as something
to read and wonder about, the beef
combine or food trust will be an every
day reality to every family in the ma
ton.
1t is announced in New York ana
Boston that the basis of payment by
the new trust for the corporations and
firms it is to absorb will be 20 times
the earnings for the last year. These
earnings are as follows: Armour d
Co, sS,000,000; Swift & CO., 81 900, 900 (;
SchwarzschiId 81 Sulzberger, $1,000
900; Nelson, Morris & Co, $4,000, 900;
Cudahy, 100000.
The reported division of capital
among the principal interests in the
$500, 900 is to be as follows: Ar
mour & Co., $500, 600. 900; Swift &c Co,
800, 900, 900; Nelson. Morris Il Co, $75,-

in various parts of the United States,
| $50, 000. 900. Miscellaneous expenses,
including cost of promotion. etc, are
placed at $z5.G00,000.

THE WAR GAME
Is Now on Between the Army
and Navy.
Higginson Will Aim to Lay Low Some
Of the Notifications.
The Army Is Ready to Sink Some of
His Ships.

u. S. S. Alabama, Menmesha Blight
Martha's Vineyard, Mass, Aug 81
Since the arrival of the Massachusetts
naval reserves on the battleship Ala
bama, yesterday afternoon, to take
part in the war game, there have been
two incidents calculated to remain in
their memory. One was the service
held, today, on the gun deck forward,
when Chaplain Rennold offered up the
sacrifice of the Massachusetts, The
other was the CONCERT given, last night,
on the port quarteT deck by the Naval
Reserves band. There was still an
other incident which did not come
cause it took place before the visitors
came aboard ship.
Saturday afternoon is usually a holi-
day on board man of war and for
yesterday the crew had arranged a
series of friendly boxing bouts. A ring
was formed on the fOrecastle deck and
about this had gathered almost the
entire ships crew. The barbettes of
the 13-fnch guns and the middle and
lower bridges We're all dotted with 81
lently enthusiastic seamen.
The Reserves on board the Alabama
augmented the regular-siZed congrega-
ton which filed the forward gun deck,
this morning, to attend mass. FIR. Rem
nolds offered up the service from a
little altar set up near one of the
starboard pinch guns.
Today, these men turned out with as
little realization of what is wanted of
them as comes to the captains of the
various ships of Admiral Higginsons
White Squadron of the destination of
the fleet and the mode of attack, which
will be presumed in order to bring
about the humiliation of the forts
from Gardeners bay to Narragansett
But rs one naval officer said: THE
navy is ready at any time; so the
navy was waiting, today, for the
period of hostilities.
An immense fleet has modified in
last to come were the battleship Indi-
ana, the auxiliary cruiser Supply and
the cruiser Montgomery. The Ailleen
and the Scorpion are also here. This
makes a formidable squadron of ships.
The large body of marines who have
been camping on the shore of Marthas
Vineyard broke camp, today, but their
destination was unknown here.
1t seemed probable during the after
noon that Admiral Higginson's power
full fleet would move before the hour
set for the beginning of hostilities.

BOTTLING UP SLEEP,
Troops at New Bedford Preparing for
Long Sleepless Hours.

Fort Rodman, New Bedford, Mass
Aug. 31.-So far as appearances went
at Fort Rodman, today, no one would
imagine that war, or even mock war
was impending, possibly within half
day. Nor would an observer
imagine that a hostile fleet was an
chored in battle array within 10 miles
of the post. 1t was a day of great
activity and practical work, but so far
as appearances of hostility were evil
dent in camp, peace apparently reigncd.
The camp itself was literally
wrapped in slumber, officers and men
alike apparently recognizing the need
for piling up sleep in view of nights
of future waking and a momentary call
to arms.
Not an incident was reported by the
guards from taps to rcveille. Sunday
was not in the least day of worship
nor Of idleneSS. The customary
throng of visitors was absent the war
orders compelling a rigid curtailment
of access and limiting the outsiders
in camp to few chosen war cor
respondents and one or two choice Of
ticials in favor at headquarters.
Col Frye was rushing preparations,
comparatively green artillerymen into
Il condition to man effectively a post
whose ordance ranged from the big
S-inch disappearing mount rifles to the
popping GattIings. 1t was a task of
no small amount and officers and men
bent themselves to. it with zeal. In
each emplacement the state officers

tillerymen of the permanent post at the
| fort.
The morning guard mount was well
performed wonderfully well for the
second day in Camp. Capt. Lombard
| of Il Battery was officer of the day and
Lieut.. Gleason of X Battery officer of
| the guard. The consolidated report OF
| the post showed the strength of the
militia garrison exclusive of the 20
regulars at the posD as follows:
Field and staff. &c: band. "a. Bat
eries-A. officers. 50 men; p. Of

Champlain, President Roosevelt, to-
day. was conveyed in the steam yacht

rate display of red lights and fire
works. the latter including some beau
tiful set pieces, while numerous craft
on the lake which had been gathered

other ways shared in the tumultuous
reception which was accorded him.
Ascending the steps of the Shaw res
idence. the President in a brief address
thanked the assemblage for having
turned out in such numbers to greet
him. At the conclusion of his remarks
he was vociferously cheered and the
crowd dispersed.
Those of the party who did not ac-
company the President to Thompson s
Point were. today, entertained by a
committee of 100 representative BUSH
ness men of Burlington.

1000 Men IDLE
Through Burning of Shaw's
Tannery at New Limerick.
Total Loss, Over s6O,OOO--PIant
May Not Be Rebuilt.
Town Has No Fire Observation-Disclosures
Gave Assistance.

Limerick, Me-, Aug. 31.-The destruc-
ton of the tannery and adjacent build
ings of W. l. Shaw at New Limerick.
last night, entails loss of upwards of
$4,000, and brings idIeness for a time
to fully 200 men. The village of New
Limerick has no fire fighting apparatus
and the best assistance was given by
the Houlton firemen
The tannery plant consisted of the
tanning building proper, a long store
house, q building containing the cleo
trio lighting plant, the office building
and the post office. The contents of
one Office alone were saved. AS addi-
tioral fuel to the blaze, 10000 cords of
bark were eaten up. and two bark cars
of the railroad and the highway bridge.
In the tannery many thousand dol
lars worth of finished leather was
ruined. but the hides in watts in pro-
cess of curing are thought to be all
right.
1t is not known yet whether the
buildings will be rebuilt.

MRS. NATION DEPARTS.
Not Much Pleased With Recent Visit
to Bangor.

Bangor, Me-, Aug. 31.-Carrie Nation
has gone, and there was an intense
sigh of relief when the Boston boat
cast off the line at 2 r. NJ. Saturday.
The great "smasher" waved goodby
to a group of w. C. 7. U. women, who
were at the dock to see her off.
After having been elected from the
Bangor house, Friday night, for max
ing a disturbance, Mrs. Nation spent
the night at private house after lee
turing in City hall. 1t was announced
that she would speak again, Saturday
night, but Mayor Engel declined to let
the hall again.
An Intellectual attempt was made to
secure an opening at Riverside park,
and 50 it was decided Mrs. Nation
should so direct to Boston.
Mrs Nation came down town, early
Saturday morning, and applied for "a
warrant for the arrest of Landlord
Horace c. Chapman of the Bangor
house for assault and battery from
Recorder Adams of the municipal
court. He sent her to Judge Bailey,
who refused to grant one.
This sent Mrs. Nation off with Il
TRADE of abuse and loud talk which
attracted a crowd. She denounced the
recorder. the judge, Bangor, and ev-
erything in it, and was finally gently
but firmly escorted out of the building
by the police.
She had announced her intention or
making a tour of the saloons of the
city, but on account of lack OF time
was unable to carry out this part o.
the program.
Mrs. Nation declares that she WI

steamer had been chartered and they
