He will take the stump for the first time
in the campaign and, unless he: breaks
down, he will continue to tour the state
as long as the campaign lasts. Senator
Hanna will devote considerable of his at

a great deal Of his time to the tariff ques-

Senator Hanna does not believe in tariff
revision and will take strong position
on this question. He believes that the
present prosperity of the country is due
to the protective tariff and Will appeal to
the voters of the state to frown down
any talk of tariff revision at this time.
Senator Hanna. who has arrived home
from the east, declines to discuss revision

of their live stock in pursuance of their
strange religious belief that it is sin
to hold cattle or use any beast Of burden

Government agents have seized all the

the east, Speaker Henderson reiterated
his decision to retire from the congress
sional race in Iowa, denied any inten-
ton of "abdicating' from his present
position until his term of office shall have
expired, and declared himself in perfect
accord with the tariff views of President
Roosevelt, as enumerated in his Cincinnati
speech.

fighting for protection for American in
dustries and American labor, and / shall
not be a party to any Juggling at this late
day." the speaker said. president
Roosevelt's tariff views, set forth in his
Cincinnati speech, coincide with my own.
There is no difference in our belief. His
speech was strong one and it has my
hearty Endorsement"

new lights in your own state?" was asked.

HOW COAL .BAR0NS do IT

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Exhorbitant freight
rates charged by the coal roads of the
east, excessive prices paid by the con-

cause and result the man who is contem-
plating ruinous coal bill may find new
light: on the anthracite situation in the
eastern mining districts. -, Il
-, The effort OF thegminers to secure better
wages is not the only cause Of the jump Of
prices in fuel. The combination OF coal
operating and coal carrying railroads to
maintain unreasonable tariffs, out of all
proportion to rates on other merchandise
of like quality, is held responsible.
A comparison of these coal rates, as
maintained by the eastern roads with the
throws light on the situation by the aid
of which the consumer can see the posi-
ton of the operators. a..
By the aid of # the purchaser can see
that the profit Of The coal operating roads
does not all accrue from the operation
of the mines. To this is added the
enormous profit OF hauling at prices
which double and treble the rates charged
for any other similar line of freight !
When this is understood, the readiness
with which coal prices reach an excessive
point can be apprecia ted. -.- I

the murder of Mrs: Annie Pulitzer was
still uncertain this = morning regarding
the Identity of his prisoner. At 9 O'clock
he had not communicated with Captain
Titus of the New York police department
and said he was not sure that he would
do so.
There is more doubt this morning in
the minds Of the police that the prisoner
is the much-wanted Young than was felt
last night. Although in many ways the
man answers the description Of Young,
his complexion is not extremely dark and
the teeth OF the prisoner do not CORE
spond with the description. He has re-
ceding forehead, very prominent high
cheek bones and a protruding upper lip
His hair is brownish black. When inter
viewed in his cell this morning, the pris-
oner talked readily and with a good deal
of Intelligence. He says his name is
Bert Edwards, that he is 26 years old and
formerly lived with his stepfather, Henry
Carruthers and his mother at $40 Sixth
street, Portland, Ore. He left Portland
on June Is because Of a fight with his
stepfather and has since been roaming
about the country. He declared at first
that he had not been in New York, though
he afterward contradicted this statement

dial arising from the revival Of the family
quarrel between King Leopold and his
daughter, the Princess Stephanie (Coun-

on all sides is expressed for the princess,

1.-THE precise facts are these: was
praying at the bier of the queen when
someone came about o'clock and said
the king would not receive me. I imme-
diately left the death chamber. I had no
interview with his majesty"
It was hoped the public, who applauded
Princess Stephanies match with the
Count Lonyay, that the death of the queen
would lead to healing the rupture, but the
incident at Spa is taken to demonstrate
that the king is a sirreconcilable as ever
to what he openly designated as mis-
alliance ever after the approval of the
Austrian emperor, Francis Joseph. The
princess will probably leave Brussels to-
day to join her husband in England.
Therefore she will no the present at her

$5O,000,000 TOO SMALL
Western Cattlemen Give Up Their
Plan of Fighting the Trust
Beef Famine Coming.
Ne4U York Sun Special Servtce

Chicago, Sept. 22-Cattlemen of the
western cattle breeding section are be-
coming disheartened at the efforts Of the
packing combine to invade their field
and, according to reports from all over
the west, are selling off their stock and
retiring from the business. The plan, re-
Gently set on foot, to organize a co-opera-
tive stock company, with a capital Of $780,,
100000, for the purpose Of fighting the
packing house combine, has been prac-
tically abandoned, as the cattlemen real
lie that even s50,000,000 is too small a
sum with which to oppose the immense
amount Of invested capital represented in
the trust.
Even the breeding COWS are being dis
posed Of by the stock-raisers as rapidly
as possible, and 1t is predicted that with
in three months the country will expe-
rience a beef famine that will be more
general and more serious than the one
it has just recovered from. The rapid
change that has just taken place. from
a practical famine to more than plenty
is accounted for by experts by the fact
that breeders are turning their cattle into
cash as rapidly as possible, with the in
tention Of giving up the business before
the operations Of the packing combtna.
ton compel them to do so.

alarmed over the future of the industry
