WHY PACKERS MAKE MONEY
Skinners Become Experts aud Turn
Out Hides in First Glass
Condition.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. S.-The evidence at
the packers combine custer proceedings re-
lated to the Importance of the live stock
industry in Missouri and Kansas and the
magnitude OF the operations conducted by
the packing companies.
1t was shown by the records of the KAN
sas City Stock Yards company that Mis-
souri, is second only to Kansas in the num-
ber Of cattle, sheep and hogs marketed. and
that the bulk of the live stock brought
to this market comes from these states.
Superintendents and accountants for the
packing companies testified that during the
year 1901 the local plants paid for the stock
slaughtered, apparently $4,000, 900, and Of
fered employment for 10000 persons.
The packers get more for hides than small
butchers because sknners IN large plants
become experts and turned out hides In
better condition.
All the witnesses disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the use of rostine or other chemical
preservatives.

COURT APPEALS TO CONGRESS
Says Legislature Alone Can Decide
What Mails should Go
Second Glass.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Practically the
whole policy of the postoffice in its recent
classification reforms is involved in three
decisions rendered today by the district
court of appeals. In two cases the decis-
ions are against the department and in the
other it is sustained. All three cases will
be appealed, pending which final action the
classification reform policy, under which
many publications have been excluded from
second class privileges probably will re-
main in suspension.
The two cases decided adversely to the
government are those of the National Rail-
way Publication company and the Railway
List company. The department is upheld
in the case OF the Chicago Business col
lege. The lower court is sustained in all
three cases.
The courts opinion is that congress has
reserved the determination of what should
be carried as second class or third class
matter.
II may be the classification is not as def
mite as 1t might be and the privilege is
grossly abused, but corgIess itself made
the classification and II Is not competent
for the postmaster general to add anything
to the statute or take anything from it.
In the Chicago Business college case the
court holds the publication is an advertis-
college is not ian institution of learning
such as congress contemplated admitting to
the second class rate.

WILL KILL TO CURE DISEASE
DIR. salmon Considers Cattle COndi-
tiOn in New England Most
Serious.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Dr Salmon re-
ports that the situation is serious, there
being about 5000 cettle in herds known to
be affected. New cases are constantly
being found. Extensive outbreaks of the
disease have occurred in Vermont, but DR..
Salmon believes the situation can be han
died by slaughtering and disinfecting.
BOSTON, Dec. 3.-United States quaran-
tine against New Hampshire was ordered
today on the recommendation OF Dr. Daniel
e. Salmon, because of the discovery of an
outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in
Salem, N H.
DR.. Salmon said today:
It appears from statements made by H.
o. Averill, commissioner of domestic ami
mails for Connecticut, that a careful in
quiry in that state has failed to show any
disease. The disease was positively as
certained to exist in Vermont and re-
ports from Rhode Island indicate a much
larger number of cases than were at first
supposed to exist in that state. In Massa-
chusetts work is well under way.

The prince returned from the United

ment at Washington, II It occurred. His
desire was conveyed to the emperor, who
approved Of II.
His majesty attaches considerable impor-
tance to the social side Of the embassy at
Washington and considers that the wealthy
prince and princess OF Plesse are especially
fitted to dispense German hospitality at
that capital.
The plesse is powerful and the matter will
not be allowed to rest. Prince Henry Of
Plesse only left the diplomatic service be-
cause of former Chancellor Won Caprivis
ruling that anyone marrying a foreigner
must resign his post Chancellor Won Bue-
lows candidate is DR.. Mumm Won Schwartz
zenstein, the German minister to China.
Another possibility is Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, German consul general at Cal
cutta, who is not unfavorably regarded at
the Foreign office, though he is liable to at
tack from some quarters, as he is sup
posed to be an unusually warm friend Of the
United States.
Baron Won Sternberg's friends affirm that
President Roosevelt six months ago ex-
pressed a preference for the baron to sue
ceed DR.. Won Holleben when the latter is
retired. Some such expression from the
president appears to have been conveyed to
this government.
Prince Henry Of Plesse married, in 1891,
Miss Daisy Corvallis West, one of the
daughters OF Mrs. Corvallis West, who
was a noted English beauty.
