REDUCTION OF PENSIONS.
westerners Concerned Over the Announced
Intention Of New York Repub'
licnn Leaders.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-Westerners
in Washington are considerably con-
cerned over the announced intention
Of the republican leaders In New
York to include in the platform OF
the convention to be held next week
resolution demanding the regula.
ton of pensions and reduction OF
the pension appropriations. No ex-
PLANTATION is offered for the proposed
action, and it is accepted here as
simply another effort OF the New
Workers. who are opposed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to embarTass him
during his Forthcoming swing around
the circle in the west. The presi-
dent is known as an advocate OF q
liberal pension policy, and the pro
posed resolution is looked upon here
as a move in retaliation for the presi'
dents attitude toward the trusts.

CATTLE TRUST soon.
Reported Move In Chicago to Con-
troll the Trade.
FIRMS SAID TO Be IN The COMBINE.


Chicago, Sept. 2o.-The latest com
bination to control an important in
dustry has originated in Chicago in
the shape Of the cattle trust. It will
have . capital of s5o,ooO,ooo and will
pre-empt the cattle business Of the
northwestern and southwestern
states, which means practical mo-
nopoly in this country. The ANAL
gamation Of the several interests
which will make the new trust . Ger
tainty will, 1t is thought, DO perfect
ed by January l, 1903. -Four and pos
sibly six Of the largest commission
firms at the Union stock yards are
negotiating for the purpose Of form
ing a combination to control the cat
tie trade Of the southwest and the
northwest. The cattle growers will
be advanced sufficient money to feed
their herds and market them. And
in this manner the consolidated firms
can control entire sections OF the
country. This would mean a cutting
Of the expense Of operating almost
in half. The four firms which are
mentioned as being certain parties
to the combine are Strahorn-Mutton-
Evans commission, McCausland, Hoag
& Turner, Smith, Haas & Co. and the
Evans-Snyder-Buel company. The
two others mentioned as possible ad-
iuncts to the combination are the
Drum-Flato commission and Greer
& Mills Commission company.
Tho Cattle Outlook Dark.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 20.-"The out
look for the cattle industry Is dark.
The heavy cattle receipts at the Kan
sas City stock yards recently simply
mean that the western cattlemen
are alarmed over the future pros
poets Of that industry and are either
roing out Of the business entirely or
are reducing their herds SO as to be
able to handleS them with their own
capital. Breeding herds are being
wiped out rapidly in every quarter.
Production is being stopped. Next
year the shortage will be felt in the
price Of veal. Later on beef prices
will 20 soaring. Why the alarm?
The packing-house merger" Thus
spoke M. C. Campbell, chairman OF
the Kansas live stock sanitary COM
mission and one Of the largest indi-
vidual cattlemen Of the west to-day,
in discussig the cattle situation.

to Washington Society.

Washington, Jan. 4. = Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, was
formally presented to Washington
society Friday night at a ball given
in her honor at the white house.
About 500 guests in all were pres
ent, many of whom either were con-
nections of the Roosevelt family or
well-known society people living out
side of Washington. Miss Roosevelt
is the first white house debutant
since 1878, when Miss Nellie Grant,
the daughter of President and Mrs.
Grant, was presented to society at
a ball, which was the gayest social
event of the decade. Friday nights
entertainment was given a personal
rather than an official character by
Mrs. Roosevelt, whose wish was that
Miss Roosevelt should make her
debut much as though it had taken
place in her own private home rath-
er than in the white house.
