CHARGED WITH KAISER
YOUNG AND WOOD WITH THE
CAVALRY.

the Defending Infantry.

Frankfort-on-t Oder, Sept. n.-Majof
General Young and Brigadier General
Wood and their aides-de-camp. Ldeuten-
ants Mckinley and Mccoy, charged with
the cavalry. led BY Emperor William to-
day.
The Americans did not draw their
swords. but they rode with the Garde du
Corps. ono of the household regiments and
the Emperor's bodyguard. This charge
was the climax of the manouyres.
About nine thousand horsemen. lancers.
eurassiers and dragons. fell upon the
flank of the retreating blues defending
army. capturing thirty of the latters
guns and 1000 of the infantry.
The cavalry started at daylight Monday
and at about half past swept over roll
ing meadows and upon the enemy's forces
which had been Theoretically disorganized
by a heavy infantry attack. The 9ovJ
cavalrymen made frontage OF a mile
and half and in the sunlight over the
open country. they rushed at hard gal
lop upon the artillery and infantry
which did not cease firing until the
horsemen were near at hand.
When the cavalry was within one hum
dred yards. the infantry quickly formed
into close platoon groups. which the
horsemen broke up. galloping between the
dead. The Emperor. mounted on a white
Arab horse, directed the movements AMI
at the finish galloped ahead as recklessly
as any trooper.
The Empress was present on horse
back. Major General Corbin and Lieu
tenant Colonel John A. Johnson, Earl
Roberts and other foreign guests were on
a hill, around which the charge was
made. General Corbin said it was the
finest military spectacle he ever saw.
Emperor Williams customary salute to
the Americans has been We'll, how's the
khaki brigade?"
His majesty has been disposed to chaff
the Americans little. Today they wore
blue fatigue uniforms. His shap eye
noted the change and he remarked pleas
antly upon 1t.
The Zeitung, commenting on the SIM
plicity of the American uniforms, said:
1.-THE American visitors have not need
of uniforms to make them look like SOL

COMBINE OF PACKERS
EXPECTED MERGER TO BE IN
FORCE SEPTEMBER 81.
Determination of the Trust is to Own
All Of the Packing Houses and
Stock Yards of the
Country.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Record Herald
tomorrow will say:
The long expected merger of the great
meat packing interests of the United
States will go into active and open oper-
alton Saturday. September "a, unless there
should be an entirely unlocked for change
in the plans agreed upon by all those
concerned in the deal at a meeting held
here today. An industrial combination
second only to the steel trust in point Of
magnitude and importance is therefore
practically an accomplished fact.
Reports concerning the actual terms Of
the consolidation differ. The most relia-
BILE light shed upon the subject was the
plan outlined by Boston authority who
has possessed inside information about
the deal ever since its existence was first
rumored in the early part of last spring.
According to this expert the new packing
combine is to be capitalized at the rate
of twenty-five times last years earnings
of the constituent companies. For exam
pie, Cudahy and Company are said to
have earned about $4,000 in 1901. which
would make their share Of the capital
stock of the merger 81, 000. 900. A 4 per
cent dividend that the new consolidation
amount to $4,000 on this lot of stock
approximately it's legitimate earnings.
On the basis of capitalization Armour
and Company whose last years profits
are supposed to have been about &, 000. 900
will receive $500, 900 in the new secu-
rifles in exchange for their business;
Swift ana Company will receive $50. 900 900,
their net earnings for the past year prob
ably not amounting to more than 81, 00o. 600
by reason Of the fact that this concern
does not own its subsidiary companies.
such as car lines and selling agencies.
Carrying out this method to the end. the
Schwarzschild and Sulzberger Company
would receive $26. 000,0 600.
1t is said that it is the undoubted deter
mination of the consolidated meat inter-
ests to control all of the packing houses
and stock yards of the country and to
save every possible dollar in the cost OF
manufacturing and distribution. In ad-
dition to this all by-products will be alb
solutely controlled and efforts made to
buy up industries that are closely allied
TO the meat business.

BIG UNION PROJECTED.
Western Railroad Employees Con
sidering a Combine.


San Francisco. Sept. 1.-THE Call says
that the largest and most far-reaching
union in the history of railroads has been
recently formed by the railroad cofiduc-
tors and brakemen on roads operating
west of Chicago. The men are dissat-
isfied with the present rates of wages and
will in the immediate future make a de-
mend for an increase of salaries of 20 per
cent. The Call is in a position to an
nounce that this union will make test
case on one of the roads. The organiza-
ton was perfected last June in Kansas
City and w. V. Stafford, a passenger
conductor of the Southern Pacific. resid-
ing at Oakland. was elected its executive
head.
Circulars have been recently passed
around among the men and as a result
every tarinman has signed the request
asking for the increase of 20 per cent.
and making other demands.
Chairman Stafford of the executive
council of the union, when seen confirm
ed all of the above statements, and ad-
ded:
Our organization is perfect. The circu-
lars we have been sending out have been
signed not only by myslf, but by e. h.
Clarke, Grand Chief Conductor of the
Order of Railway Conductors and r. Ii.
Morrissey, Grand Master of the Brother
hood of Trainmen. We have every train
man in the country back of us and we

that il he himself were caught, with his
long list OF previous convictions. he
would not get off with less than seven

SHOULD FOLLOW AMERICA.
British Educators Urged to Adopt
Our Methods.

Belfast, Sept. 1.-THE sectional meet
ings of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science. which opened its
Seventy-second annual meeting here yes
terday, were weIT attended to hear the
addresses of their respective presidents.
Many of these contained complimentary
references to the United States, which was
held up as tss model which Great Britain
ought to follow.
Prof. e. H. Armstrong of the educa-
tional section, made a strong plea for the
ergy. into the British educational sys-
tern. and paid a high tribute to the i'm
aginative insight and foresight Of "our
American cousin, Captain Mahan," who
had taught the nation the true meaning
and value Of sea power.
I'VE need some Mahans," added Pro-
fessor Armstrong, 80 discuss the larger
issues of national defense through educa-
ton. The ship Of State Is Of vastly great
err consequence than the mere navy. Yet
those who direct attention to the insult
f1ciency of its armament are scarcely lis.
tened to and there is not the slightest
effort to secure scientifically adjusted
and organically complete machinery tc
drill the crew. which Is woefully incom'
piete, owing 20 the terrible absence OF
organization and discipline"
Professor Armstrong contended that
what British education today needed was
to appreciate the value of a scrap heap
"why can't we," continued the speaker
follow the example of the industrious
American manufacturer and agree to
scrap our scholastic and Iscademic ideals
If not our schools and schoolmasters as
well. and re-ft along scientific lines?"
In support of his contention that boys
ought to leave school at II years and
then go to college, Professor Armstrong
said that much of the success of the
Americans was due to the way in which
republican doctrines were applied In
bringing up their children. adding: 1--WE
should set our children free and encour-
age them to be free at an early age"
