cept a Wage Scale Calling for . Ten
Per Cent. Increase

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-A new wage
scale, calling for an average advance
of ten per cent, will be presented to
the managers of all of the meat
packing houses in Chicago and cities
west of here by the cattle butchers
to-day. The scale is to 60 into ef-
feet on September 2 and the pack

cattle butchers affected are: Chi

Louis, so; Kansas City, 300; St. Jo-
seph, $50; Omaha, 100; Sioux City,

ment, and no formal recognition Of

THE MORO SITUATION.
No New Developments In Mindanao Yet
Reported-A Fierce Intsrtribal Fight
Near Camp vickers.

Manila, Aug. 2O.-There have been
no developments in the Moro situa-
ton on the island Of Mindanao. Gen.
Chaffee was expected to reach Cebu
on the army transport ingalls, yes
terday morning, but the vessels ar
rival at that port has not yet been
reported. 1t is possible that Gen.
Chaffee has decided to shorten his
trip to the southern islands and re-
turn to Manila direct. An order re-
ccived from the war department at
Washington leaving action in the
Moro situation to Gen. Chaffee's dis
erection has been transmitted to him
in the south, but has probably not
yet reached him.
It Is believed here that Gen. Chat
fee will increase the American forces
in Mindanao and issue an ultimatum
to the hostile Moros. There are at
present $1,000 American troops in the
Philippine islands, goodly portion
of which could be spared for active
service.
Capt. John j. Pershing, of the Fiji
tccnth cavalry, who is in command Of
the American column at Lanao, Min
danao, has reported fierce Moro
fight near Camp Wick
ers, Mindanao. The contending fac
tons met at Wedding, As men were
killed outright and many Others
we're wounded. No Americans were
concerned In the trouble.

melted the men to take the law into
their own hands.
In the Afternoon the negro was

await the action Of the grand jury.
This procedure has allayed much Of
the excitement that has existed.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-It is ad.
mitted at the state department that
there is a renewal Of tension be-
tween the United States and Turkey,
but the officials do not deem it pru-
dent to disclose the present condition
Of affairs. They say, however, that
the condition is in no way grave, but
is of that strained character which
has occurred from time to time with
Turkey in recent years. 1t is gath.
cred that the present tension grows
out of the long pending claims Of
Americans who suffered loss during
the Armenian outbreak. To some
extent the Stone abduction gave
added cause for irritation. The
American minister, Mr.. Leischman,
has been given wide latitude to deal
with the situation as circumstances
may demand.

0 Protracted Debate.

Morrlsville, VT, Aug. 2o.-Five
thousand persons listened to Secre-
tsry Of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw,
who was the principal speaker at a
republican rally here yesterday. His
address was chiefly devoted to the
tariff. He said he had never opposed
the readjustment Of the tariff, but
expressed the doubt about the wis.
dom Of instructing by resolutions, or
exacting pledges, from candidates
for congress, when the effect was
liable to precipitate protracted
debate with very uncertain results.
The secretary also said that the
protective tariff was not the mother
Of trusts, though it was the parent
Of conditions that made it profitable
for capital to combine and congenial
for labor to organize.

IT IS RETALIATION.
Proposed Revision Of the Cuban
Tariff by Cuban Senate.
A HEAVY INCREASE IN The DUTIES.
The Opposition Of American Beet sugar
senaton Has Not Diminished and II Il
Doubtful whether On Extra Session
Of Congress Would 10 Any Good.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The news OF
the proposed revision of the Cuban
tariff as authorized by the Cuban
senate and now before President
Palma for approval, has been viewed
by the officials at Washington not
only with interest, but with some
thing as due directly to the failure
Of congress to enact reciprocity
agreement with the island, and its
possible influence on the calling Of a
special session is now much dis
cussed.
The proposed alteration Of the Gu
ban schedules amounts to direct COM
mercial retaliation against this coun-
try to secure the increased revenue
which the island failed to secure by
reciprocity on sugar. On corn, Of
which the United States sold Cuba
$4,000 worth last year, the duty is
increased 1888 per cent. On many
articles the increase is 100 per cent.
This is true of wheat -four, of which
our sales amounted last year to ST.
100000. 1t is pointed out by officials
that only short time ago Cuba was
ready to reduce the duty on the same
articles that are now subjected to
an increase running from rs per cent.
to over 100 per cent.
Full knowledge of the seriousness
of the situation thus created is be-
lleved to have been at the bottom Of
much Of the extra session talk re-
Gently heard. The proposed action
by Cuba enlarges the question from
one affecting only sugar interests
to one threatening trade in several
other lines Of supplies. Its effect
in congress, therefore, is most likely
to be to cause a recasting Of the
forces as previously aligned on Gu
ban reciprocity. TO all appearances
the latter question has progressed
from a slight tangle to a very bad
snarl, and speculation is rife in we'll
informed political circles whether
even the calling of special session
of congress will be able to settle the
matter favorably to the island.
The opposition of the beet sugar
senator's has not diminished in the
least, it is reported, and unless some
new combinations can be formed to
carry through commercial treaty,
there is doubt whether possible
extra session would result in the
least iota of benefit to the people
of the island.

WESTERN MEN MEET.
The Transmississippi Commercial
Congress in Session.
CONCENTRATION OF ALL CONGRESSES
1t Is Thought That They Might Re Com
bined In One Body and Better Results
Obtained Thurber's Address on the
Cattle Industry.

St. Paul, MINI, Aug. 20.-The
Transmississippi Commercial con-
gress was called to order by Presi-
dent John Henry Smith, of Salt Lake
City. Representatives of the entire
west were present at the opening in
this city. An effort will be made at
this session to bring about con-
sideration Of the differences of the
west. There Is now a mining con-
gress, live stock congress, an irri-
CATION congress, q good roads con-
gress, all operating in harmony but
separately. The idea that better re-
suits could be obtained from a con-
centration of these is becoming
more and more widespread, and it
will receive careful consideration at
the present session.
F. 3. Thurber, of New York, Gre
ated a stiY early in the afternoon
session, during the delivery Of COM
prehensive address upon the cattle
industry, by asserting that after
three months Investigation he has
been unable to substantiate the
charges that there is "beef trust"
His opinion, he said, is that the large
increase in cost of all meats is due
to natural causes, beef prices having
been advanced by the failure Of last
years corn crop and the consequent
increase of cost in fattening cattle.
After speaking exhaustively Of the
process by which beef cattle reach
the butcher shops, Mr.. Thurber as
serted that there is no meat COM
bine. A number Of the delegates
took issue with Mr.. Thurber on this
question and the discussion was quite
animated for some time.
Owing to the non-arrival Of some
of the speakers who had been placed
upon the programme for the after
Moons session, a number of changes
were necessitated. Col. E. F. Brown,
Of Aspen, COL, read paper on
Mines and Mining" in which he
urged the congress to take measures
to secure the creation of a govern
mental department of mines and
mining, whose head shall be a men,
Der Of the presidents cabinet. Z.
R. Moses, of the executive commit
tee, discussed the proposition to
secretary Of the congress
ut Washington, whose duty it shall
be to advise Transmississippi inter-
ests of matters pending before the
legislature by which they
may be affected. At night the sub
ject under discussion was Alaska"
and among those who spoke were
Donald Fletcher, of Seattle, whose
topic was Territorial Government
for Alaska" and ]. A. Ivey, former
|y in the custom service, who spoke
Of the commercial condition of the
territory.
One of the principal speakers at
to-day's session will be j. ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern
railway, who will discuss the sub
ect of trade with the orient.
