UNCLE SIM WILL NOT STAND
Any NONSENCE TO DELAY ChNnL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-It is an
nounced at the State department. that
the United States Government will not
be delayed beyond a reasonable time
in its plans for the construction of the
Panama canal.
If Colombia manifests a disposition
to haggle over the terms, the price to
be paid her and the extent of the Uni
ted States jurisdiction on the isthmus,
the United States Government will
not wait to conclude a treaty with her.
but will begin digging the canal and
discuss the terms afterwards.
This Government has determined to
construct canal. It has selected the
Panama route as the best, most prac-
tical and the cheapest. The money to
purchase has been appropriated, and
the title has been found perfect. Every
thing Is in readiness for beginning
the work except securing an agreement

GREAT STOCKYARDS COMBINE
N6drIu HII the Great Meat Marts to Be
M6rQ6d in Trust

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Consolidation of
all the stockyards in the country under
one management is contemplated by
the leading interests in these proper
ties, and the plan will probably be car
ried out, but after the completion of
the deal to merge the beef packing in
dHstries.
1t is announced by leading interests
that joining of the Armour, Swift, Nor
ris and other beef packing concerns
will be completed by the end of the
year or early in 1903. The underwrit-
ing agreements are said to have been
signed already with the idea of an
nouncing the combination as soon as
the money market is strong enough to
float the stock. There are widely diff
ferent reports as to the amount of stock
the combination will have, the figures
on the total running from $500, 900, 900
to $500, 100000
The consolidation will include the
Armour, Swift and Morris and other
properties in Chicago, and of course
the Hammond and Anglo-American.

deal. and the Cudahy and Schwartz
child & Sulzberger companies. While
no announcement of the officers has
been made it is probable that Gustavus
F. Swift will be president and ]. Og-
den Armour probably chairman of the
board of directors
With the exception Of the Chicago
stock yards, which are controlled in
Boston, all the properties involved are
owned and controlled by the owners OF
the principal beef packing plants. The
different yards that will probably be
included in the deal, aside from the
Chicago yards, are those at Kansas
City, East st. Louis, ST. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, Fort Worth, Texas. South Oma-
ha and Sioux City.
The plan for consolidating the vari-
Gus stock yards has not progressed as
yet to point where the amount of
stock required has been more than
discussed. 1t would undoubtedly run
close up to $100,000,0oO
