CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE Record
Herald tomorrow will say that the
:ong- expected merger of the great
meat packing interests of the United
States will go into active and open op-
-ration Saturday, Sept. 27, unless there
should be an entirely unlocked for
change in the plans agreed upon by all
those concerned in the deal at a meet
ing held here today. An industrial
combination. second only to the steel
trust in point of magnitude and i'm
portance, is therefore practically an
accomplished fact.
Reports concerning the actual terms
Of the consolidation differ. The most
reliable light shed upon the subject
was the plan outlined by Boston au-
thority, who has possessed the most
inside information about the deal ever
since it's existence was first rumored
in the early part of last spring. Ac-
cording to this expert the new pack
ing combine is to be capitalized at the
rate of twenty-five times the last
years earnings of the constituent COM
panies.
Each ComPany's Share.
For example, Cudahy & Co. are said
to have earned about $4,000 in 1901,
which would make their share of the
capital stock of the merger $21, ,000,0
A per cent dividend that the new
consolidation might be expected to de-
clare would amount to $4,000 on this
lot of approximately its legiti-
mate earnings.
On the basis of capitalization Ar
mour & Co., whose last years profits
are supposed to have been about $S,-
100000, will receive 00,000,O 900 in the
new securities in exchange for their
business. Swift & Co. will receive $780,
100000, their net earnings for the past
year probably not amounting to more
100000, by reason of the fact that
this concern does not own its subsi-
diary companies, such as car lines and
selling agencies. The Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger company would receive
$25,000,000.
1t is said that 1t is the undoubted
determination of the consolidated meat
interests 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 distrib-
ution.
In addition to this all by-products
will be absolutely controlled and eff
forts made to buy up industries that
are closely allied to the meat business.

MOROS BELIEVE UNITED STATES
is AT WAR WITH SPAIN AND
RUSSIA
THIS STARTLING INFORMATION
is SENT THEM FROM LUZON
Some of the Dattos Are Anxious for
War, One Claiming That He Can
Hold His Fort Against Any Force
That May Be Sent Against lt-Sul-
tan Sends Warlike Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. II. =
Manila papers received at the war de-
partment today contain reports from
Mindanao regarding the Moro prob
lem, showing what the various sultans
and dattos are doing, together with
correspondence that has passed and
conversations that have occurred be-
tween army officers commanding on
the island and the different chiefs.
The Moro chiefs were informed by
Filipinos from Luzon that Russia and
Spain were at war with the United
States. One of the sultans, when ask
ed why he would not be on friendly
terms with the United States authori-
ties, said that the Moros were all un-
der the direction of the sultan of Stam-
boul and they had been informed there
was enmity between the sultan of
Stamboul and the United States gov
ernment. Capt. Pershing, in command
of the cavalry, told him this was en-
tirely mistake. Another datto made
the claim that the Moros always had
been in undisturbed possession Of the
Lake Lanao country and that even the
Spaniards never had attempted to in
terfere with them and they did not
want the Americans to do so.
Warlike Letter Comes.
There had been considerable friendly
correspondence with the sultan of Bac-
alod, but finally very unfriendly let
ter was received from him, warlike in
tone, which greatly surprised the
American officers. From another Moro
chief the Americans were informed
that the ugly temper was caused by
the punishment inflicted upon the dat
tos under the sultan of Bacalod These
dattoes were very anxious for war, one
of them claiming he could hold his fort
against any force that might be sent
against 1T. The war party was strong
er than the peace party and was taunt-
ing the Moros who wanted to be on
peaceful terms with the Americans by
calling them towards.
The Filipino insurgent, Ruffino, was
found to be in that region making
trouble for the Americans. In another
report from. the Moro country 1t is
stated that Capt. Baldwin tried to get
all the sultans and dattos to meet him
in a friendly conference. The sultan
Of Bacolod professed friendship, but
asked for three months in which to
communicate with the various tribes
over which he was chief. Moros in the
camp of Col. Baldwin said that this
was simply ruse to gain further time
and prepare for war.

FROST TOUCHES MANY
POINTS IN NORTHWEST
Is Killing In Many Places, But There
Is Promise That Weather Will
Be Warmer.

The. unusual drop in the temperature
yesterday, caused by a cold wave that
swept all over the Northwest, has killed
late vegetables and materially hurt
corn and flax. The wheat is now al
most all harvested and threshing has
begun, so it has not been affected.
Though there were frosts last night,
the indications are that within the next
thirty-six hours a rise in the tempera-
ture will be general throughout Min
nesota, Canada and the Northwest.
Where there were heavy frosts and
thin ice yesterday morning, last even
ing the temperature had risen above
the freezing point. At all points in the
Northwest yesterday the mercury has
gone up. In st. Paul it wass A In the
morning, and in the evening 48. Dur
ing the night it dropped and light
frosts turned the tenderer vegetation.
But it is safe to say that before night
the weather will again be normal. Ac-
cording to the report of the weather
bureau last evening from the most
western point, Kamloops, the thermom-
eter registered IA, while in the morning
at the same place it was A. All inter-
mediate points also report a rise. AT
Swift Current, the point that reported
the coldest temperature yesterday

grees below freezing and thirteen de-
grees below frost temperature, last
evening the mercury had risen to Sc.

morning 80, evening 81; Qu'Appelle,

throughout Montana, North Dakota
and Minnesota range from S6 in the
morning to 62 in the evening. From
these figures it is apparent that the
weather will be warmer.
This cold spell compares with the
average temperature during the sum.
mer, and is natural consequence Of
the unusually cool weather that has
prevailed. The first two weeks of Sep,
tember are always cool in this locality.
while a little later the warm weather
of the Indian summer is sure to come.

CHANGE OF PROGRAMME FOR
THE SENATOR IN UTAH FOUND
NECESSARY
HOSTILE RECEPTION IN
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
This Was Threatened in Case He Spoke
at the Time Agreed Upon-Sharp
Fight Occurs Between the Roose-
veltians and Beet Sugar Faction, the
Insurgents Winning the Day.

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican state convention today nomi-
mated Joseph Howell for congress and
Judge William Mccarthy for supreme
court justice and adopted a platform in
which mention of Cuban reciprocity
was omitted. On this point the beet
sugar interests of the state won out
after somewhat bitter and protracted
debate in the committee on resolu-
tions. Friends of Congressman Suth-
erland, who was one of the Repub-
lican insurgents" on the reciprocity
question in the last session of con-
gress, were determined that specific in
dorsement of the presidents Cuban
policy should have no place in the
platform, and they prevailed. In this
they were aided by the Church people,
who insisted that compromise plat
form cordially indorsing President
Roosevelt's administration be adopted,
but leaving out direct reference to this
proposed 20 per cent reduction.
Close Call for Beveridge.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, was
originally scheduled to deliver a speech
tonight marking the formal opening
of the Republican campaign in Utah.
This programme was changed last
night to have Senator Beveridge speak
at the close of the morning session to-
day. When the beet sugar sympathfz-
ers heard of this they openly threat
ened to give him hostile reception,
believing 1t a plan to influence the con-
vention in favor Of a Cuban reciprocity
plank, the result being that the pro-
gramme was changed. Senator Bever-
idge speaking tonight.
I An amendment to the platform offered
by Congressman Sutherland, declaring
it to be the sense of the convention
that president Roosevelt be nominat-
ed for president in 1904 as his own sue
cessor," was carried.
