QUIET CORONATION EXPECTED
London Fast Being Emptied Of.lts
Coronation Crowd.
NOTHING SETTLED AS YET.

London, June 2S.--With the favora-
BILE progress of the king there is much
discussion as to how the coronation
will eventually be effected. While
nothing has in any way been definitely
settled, it appears that King Edward
is likely to celebrate this event very
quietly and with merely the ceremony
that attends the opening of parliament.
This consists of a drive direct to West
minister abbey, accompanied by a small
escort and a speedy return to Buclling-
ham palace, and it is rumored that no
foreign princes or ENJOYS will be
especially invited for the occasion. All
this, of course, is quite in the air, but
it forms one of the chief topics of
London's daily conversation.
Hundreds of visitors to London, es-
pecially Americans and people from
the country fioclxed to Westminster
abbey and until late at night curious
and rather awestricken crowds of
spectators stood gazing at the place
where Edward VII should have been
crowned. The artificial coronation
annex, which is one of the few parts
of the abbey not hidden by stands,
attracted special attention.
Providing King Henry maintains his
present rate of improvement, London
will soon be emptied of its holiday
crowd aud the proposed coronation
will be looked forward to as an occa-
sion for sedate thanksgiving, bereft o.
pageantry.
London has only just begun to realize
the practical effects of the coronation
postponement. The exodus OF visitors
to the Continent and the provinces is
taking the capacity of the railroads
and steamboats,. This return traffic,
however, nowise makes up the rail
road lines loss of hundreds of thou
sands of passengers from the provinces
and nearer continental points who had
delayed their coming to the last mo-
ment crowded all day booking the
cheaper class of ''trippers," for whom
London, minus the coronation, had no
attraction.

NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.
Success: ri In Arid Regions-Used for
Food ms Well as Feed

= Washington, June 30.-Emmer, n
new grain introduced from Russia by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, promises to become one of the
most important permanent crops in
this country for stock feeding. Fur
thermore, it may become n popular
human food product as it is in Euro
|. pean countries. This cereal will be
particularly welcomed by the farmers
of the semi-arid states because of its
being resistant especially to extreme
cold and drouth. Already considerable
interest has been manifested in the
cultivation of emmer in the semi-arid
regions of this country. Experiments
with it have resulted with marked
success.
Professor Carleton, of Manhattan,
cereal expert in the department OF
agriculture is thus quoted:
Conditions entirely similar to those
of these Russian governments exist in
the plains states of this country. The
grain is sometimes incorrectly called
by wong name of 'speltz.
True speltz is radically different
sort of grain, nearly as different as a
pear is different from the apple, and
not grown at all in the United
States. Emmer is species of wheat.
The plants of this species are pithy or
hollow, with an inner wall of pith;
leaves sometimes rather broad and
usually hairy.
''ln Russia large amount of the
grain is used for human food. Special
machines are in use for hulling it.
The grain is then crushed into kind
of coarse grits Qsrupa) and used for
porridge called ''kasha," or for other
kinds of breakfast foods. Little cakes
from the coarse meal are sometimes
used with SOUPS"

continued with increased intensity for
about "a hours. The wind held steady

dangerously high, being but two feet
above normal, but the storm which
originated in the West Gulf and passed
on the land with its center $50 miles
west of Galveston, made itself felt on
the island. The only damage reported
in Galveston was the burning out of
fifteen motor cars by the water getting
into the electric machinery.

London, June 26--Queen Alexandria

Her majesty took part in the festivi-

nation would have to be postponed,
she quietly answered: "Ilave not felt
that this would happen?" and asked

PACKERS MERGER
IS ACCOMPLISHED
viii Go Into Effect September
27, Unless There Be
Complications. q
TERMS UNKNOWN
Believed capitalization Is to Be at the
Rate of Twenty-Fi i Times Last
Years Earnings Of Constitu-
ent Companies.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The Record-Her>
aid says this morning:
The long expected merger Of the great
meat packing interests will go into eff
feet and operation September n, un-
less there should be an entirely un-
looked for change in the plans agreed
upon by all those concerned In the Zeal
at a meeting held here yesterday.
Observation-Disclosures second only
to the steel trust in point Of magnitude
and Importance Is therefore practically
an accomplished fact.
Reports concerning the actual terms
Of the consolidation differ. The most
reliable light shed upon the subject Is
thai the new packing combine is to be
capitalized at the rate Of twenty-five
times the last years earnings of the;
constituent companies. For example,
Cudahy g. Co. are said to have earned
about $S20,000s in 1901, which would
make their share Of the capital stock
Of the merger $21, 900. 900. A 4 per cent
dividend that the new consolidation
might be expected to declare would
amount to $s40, 900 on this lot Of stock
approximately its legitimate net earn
ings. On the basis Of capitalization
Armour & Co. will receive 5000, 600, 600 In
the new securities in exchange for their
business. Swift & Co. Will receive $780,
600, 900 and Schwarzchild 6 Sulzberger
would receive s26. 600, 900. It Ia said that
Ut Ia the %undoubted determination Of
THE consolidated meat interests to con-
troll all Of the packing houses and
every possible dollar in the cost OF
manufacturing and distributing.
In addition to this all by-products
will be absolutely controlled and efforts
made to BUY up industries that are
closely allied to the meat business.

Cooperation the Plan. .N
Cooperation of the present powerful
railroad organizations is said to be the
means relied on to secure results.
There has been much talk Of a great
new organization. It is likely to prove
only a federation of old organizations
for a specific purpose. The different
orders, including conductors, brake
men, ~switchmen, engineers and fire.
men, will decide whether they wish to
present their grievances together and
make common cause. The greatest
caution will be observed to give no Of
tense to the railroad arrangements. 1t
is probable that the demands will be
presented simultaneously from differ
ent organizations. The men do not
want to take the attitude of threaten
ing. Their relations with the compan-
les have been uniformly friendly and
satisfactory for many years. But they
realize that they must oppose the great
aggregations of capital with equally
extended a~ggregations of labor's Or
ganized power, and they expect to ac-
cOmplish it..
