Great Archbishop in Line for
a Red One, Now That His
Great Rival Is Gone.

Friends of Archbishop Ireland see in the
death of Archbishop Corrigan of New York
a possible factor in the advancement of
the st. Paul prelate to the cardinalate.
Honors are distributed from Rome with a
care that exhibits perfection of diplomacy.
Possibly it was for this very reason that
neither Archbishop Ireland nor Archbish-
OPP Corrigan was made the recipient of
the red hat during the life of the latter.
AS is we'll known the two archbishops
held different views on ecclesiastical poll
cies with reference to the United States
The men themselves were not bitterly OPP
posd to each other, but in some respects
their views were dramatically opposite.
Rome never passed upon the matter In any
way nor signified it's preference for the
views of either man. Had it not been for
this situation, either archbishop might
have been cardinal years ago, but the
elevation of either would have been con-
strued as an Endorsement Of him and the
rejection of the other Rome evidently
did not care to do this and was, moreover,
reluctant to create another American car
dinal while Cardinal Gibbons held the
American premacy.
AS the matter now stands it seems in
evitable that there must soon be another
cardinal named for the American priest
hood. If Cardinal Gibbons is assigned to
reside in Rome to safeguard the int erests
Of the American church, the necessity of
an additional cardinal will become imper-
alive. OF the archbishops in America who
would be considered in connection with
the honor, John Ireland stands easily first,
being probably the most cosmopolitan and
best known American Catholic.
In this connection, the assertion is
made that in case the red hat is granted
to the archbishop of St. Paul, his resi-
dence may be changed to more impor-
tant center of population than the twin
cities. It is true that the church in nam
ing it's high officials takes into account
the location. Chicago or ST. Louis have
been mentioned as possible places Of resi-
dencet for the new cardinal, in fact the
location Of a cardinate at Chicago has
been suggestion frequently made for the
last nine years.

sentative government, :, one result EOf
which was that Great Britain was SUI
preme in Egypt, while, with regard . to
Ireland, the country need no longer fear
the insane suicidal projects OF imperial
disruption, supported by manysof the OPP
position statesmen.
At the same time, he said, the country
must not expect the "ashes Of past con-
flicts' to be extinguished Immediately.
Great Britain had had a great and serious
war, but admitting that misery and suf-
terlng had been caused, it must be recog-
nlzed that the power, prestige, influence
and magic effect of our great empire are
more potent, more efficient and more ,ad-
mlrable than ever BEFORE Eve have
suffered continued the premier, :'but we
have greatly won.' 1t was impossible
not to feel that the efforts of the people
of the country have. in some cases, not
been worthily recognized. The other day
Mr.. Morley asked if there was single
member Of the cabinet OF 1899 who if ne
could have foreseen the results of the
policy on which they were then launch
ing the country, would not have checked
the diplomacy leading to such deplorable
results. AS member of the cabinet he
(Lord Salisbury wished to meet this
statement with the most indignant denial.
The premier repudiated the assertion
that Great Britain was weakening on
peace terms. The country could not afford
to submit to the suggestion that affairs
should be allowed to slide back into a po-
sition where it would be in the power of
the enemy when the opportunity suited
him to renew the issues for which the
country had fought during the last three
years. When the conflict was over >all
possible would be done to mould their
present opponents so they could take UP
their. position in the empire which had
conferred so many blessings on the human
race. But it must be thoroughly under
stood that the whole government of the
country was to be of such a character that
it would be impossible that the struggle
could be renewed It was important that
this should be made clear. There was no
/ feeling Of bitterness towards the Beers,
for there was nothing the government
more earnestly desired than that they
should enjoy all the privileges conferred
on their brother nations by the colonial
system.
Touching on the question of imperial
federation, Lord Salisbury warned his
hearers of the danger of over haste and
exhorted those who were anxious to Sc
cure federation to consider earnestly the
steps they were going to take and the re-
suits expected.
'.We cannot" he said, .tsafely interfere
| by legislative action with the natural de-
| velopment of our relations to our daugh-
! ter countries. look with apprehension
on any attempt, unless backed up by the
strong mass of public opinion to anf1ci-
| pate events or foreclose precious results
| which, If we are patient and careful, are
in store for the empire

PRICES
FOR MEAT
IT.
What the Beef Trust Inquiry
in Missouri Seems to
Have Elected.
Big Packers Agree to Buy
Cattle in Successive Days
AS to Rebates.

JeffeRsNsHy, Mo. May THE exist
ence in st.BouissSof uniform. and fixed
meat prices and the secret rebate in addi-
tion to the c. O.. D. list was shown by
testimony taken at this mornings session
~ the beef trust inquiry.
Attorney General Grow said to-day that
the objections raised by the packers at
torneys at Tuesdays session of the beef
trust inquiry does not pertain to the va
lidity Of the antitrust law, but only to
the law authorizing the inquiry. The two
statutes are separate.
! 1.-THE antitrust law has been tested
twice in the supreme court and is unas
sailable," said he.
| Maurice Prendeville, St. Louis union
market meat dealer, was the first witness
examined to-day. In answer to questions
by the attorney general. Prendeville tes-
titled that Armour, Swift, Nelson and
Cudahy had fixed agreement regarding
prices.
"Tne packers buy cattle on successive
days. said he, $50 that each can buy at
his own price. There is very little indie
pendent buying in the East St. Louis
out by telling the cattlemen that If they
sell any cattle to the independent buyers,
they must sell all. to them.
ga better grade of cattle is sent east
than that sold in st. Louis. The ordinary
retail butchers cannot get high class beef
The best beef is sold to butchers at II
cents on the carcass" ...a
Did you ever get a rehate?' was asked
Of Prendeville.
-Four or five months ago I got rebates
on pork from Nelson Norris. At one time
the cooler managers told me that they
had an agreement not to sell at less than
S. per hundred They would evade the
SIS there any arbitrator in St. LOUISE"
asked Attorney General Grow.
"The cooler managers meet every
Wednesday afternoon and form a c. o. D.
list, and on Saturday they hold another
meeting. I do not know what fixes prices
for them, but they are fixed the last OF
each week for the week fOllowing.'
"When man does not sell his cattle
in East St. Louis" continued the wit
ness, land ships them elsewhere. the
packers send a dispatch head of him, in
structing the buyer to offer only so much
Meat this year. is much inferior to that
sold last year. Il
"The number of cattle sold and killed
in East ST. Louis this season has been
unusually large. Most of the meat has
been placed in storage. =
William Tamme of St. Louis, formerly
city salesman for Swift testified to a uni
form price at which statesmen of all CON-
panies were Instructed to sell. Attorney.
Ernst C. Dodge has charge Of the G. O. D.
list which is made up every week, the
witness declared. r. -
Tamme said that the increased price of
meat was out of proportion to the: in
crease in the price of cattle. He said 100
butchers in ST. Louis had gone out Of
business and that the Mound City Pack
ing company and the North st. Louis
Packing company had also retired. re-
| cess was taken until 1870 p. M, when the

LEFT TO THE
/. PRESIDENT
Senator Hoar Suggests That
the Canal Be Left in
His Hands.
The Cost to Be $3.50, 900, 900
Discussion of the Phil
.- ippine Bill.

Washington, May SENATOR Hoar to-
leaving to the president the selection of
route. The bill is brief, merely providing
that it shall be the duty of the president
to cause to be constructed canal by
such route as may be selected by him, and
having satisfied himself Of the right of
the United States to construct and pro-
tect such canal.
The president is directed to have har-
bors constructed at both ends and he is
given authority "to employ such agen-
cies and obtain such advice as he shall
find necessary"
Authority is given to the president to
determine the terms upon which foreign
countries may use the canal.
The aggregate cost Of the canal is fixed
at $3.50, 900 and 10000, 900 is appropri
ated for the beginning of work.
The Philippine Discussion.
In the discussion of the Philippine gov
eminent bill. Mr.. McComas of Maryland
defended the administration and the
army. After declaring that the war with
Spain. had been forced upon the United
States by the democrats and that the
through that war, Mr.. McComas asserted
that in the debates on the Philippine
question the democrats ignored all history
and the treaty which they helped to
ratify. He said they proposed to undo
the glorious work of the past four years:
Discussing the alleged cruelties, Mr..
McComas adverted to many such in
stances during the civil war, furnished
both by union and confederate forces. He
referred to Sherman's march to the sea
and to the horrors of Andersonville. He
urged that the confederate soldiers, as a
body, were not to be charged with the
acts of few. He spoke, he said, in de-
Tense of the soldiers of both the north and
the south. The army in the Philippines
was no more justly to be charged with
approving of isolated instances Of cruelty
than were the armies of the north and
south during the civil war. He paid a
tribute to the humanity Of the American
troops in the Philippines.
Mr.. Tillman said it was evident that the
committee did not intend to turn on the
light. For himself he was willing to pre-
vent the passage Of the bill until COM
plete information could be obtained.
Referring to elections in the south Mr..
McComas said that the senators from
South Carolina and Mississippi Gilman
and Money! cried out against the small
percentage of voters in the early elections
in the. Philippines, and said:
We behold senators from the two states
where there is less popular liberty than in
any others shouting loudest for constitu-
tional liberty on the other side of the globe.
Mr.. Tillman entered into general dis
cussion of the conditions in the south
after the civil war. He declared that the
southern white men took control of their
affairs by any means they could; that
they had retained control and would con-
troll in the future. He defied any man to
say that they did not do right.

THE FACTS IN MISSOURI
How the Packers Buy on Different
Days-I1leGal Rebates Allowed.

Ne.o York Sun Special Servscs s..s
Chicago. May 7.-Changes in the cattle
trade at the stock yards have been dis
covered which point strongly to the exist
ence of a close combination among the
"big six packing firms By comparison
which purchase cattle for the wholesale
butchers of the east and southeast it was
discovered that an immense increase in
their orders has developed since the trust
has been threatened with an investiga
ton. .~.-. r.
In New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Baltimore and other large cities
are many wholesale butchers who do not
deal in hogs and who pack no meats They
simply kill cattle and sell dressed beef
to the retail butchers Of their respective
vicinities. They buy their cattle at the
stock yards through the commission mer-
chants and are the direct rivals Of the
"big six" combination. -
For long time they have been fought
almost to the point of ruin by the packers,
but since the investigation was deter
mined on the trust has discontinued it's
oppressive tactics and the result is that
these wholesale butchers have suddenly
developed a surprising activity. They are
sending in larger orders for cattle every
day, the increase within a month aggre-
eating $500 head week.
The chief means used by the packing
combination to Cypress these eastern
houses is the shipping rebate arrangement
with the railroad companies. In addition
to this the packers are said to have
threatened not to sell to any dealers who
did not also buy dressed beef. What little
life was left in the smaller houses after
these two methods were exhausted was
taken out Of them by the temporary un-
derselling. The effect on the meat trade,
50 far as these dealers were concerned,
was not so much restraint of trade as
trade determination.
The fact that the eastern buyers are
showing their improved condition by MAX
ing largely increased purchases has made
a profound impression at the stock yards
Farmers and feeders also who visit the
yards have not been slow to observe the
transformation and are more than ever
convinced that it Is the packers combina-
tion that hammers down the price of cat
tie and threatens the feeders.

EARLY DATE

The Governors Opponents
Will Work for a Late
Convention,

Tuesday, July t.: is a good guess at the
date of the republican state convention,
to be decided by the sta tie central commit
tee tomorrow at 2 p. m. at the Windsor
hotel, st. Paul. 49,. .... - T.. ...-- .
Opponents of Governor Van SAINT will
decide tonight whether to fight to-mor-
row or lie down. They want the conven-
ton late7Sept. 1 is a favorite date with
them. The word has been passed around
that there will be a conference tonight.
The anti-Van SAINT members, including
Tams Bixby, will get together and count
noses. If they can muster majority they
will name late day for the convention
II not, they will make no show of oppo-
sition to July as the date, and there
will be no outward sign of. disagreement.
Bixby arrived in st. Paul yesterday at
ternoon and is still there, closely under
| cover. He will be quiet till after the
committee meets. This will in large
measure tell what turn affairs are taking.
No one doubts that Bixby has joined the
ranks Of the insurgents. Eli Warner and
T. l.. Schurmeier of St. Paul are under
stood to be with him, also G. S. Mitchell
of Alexandria, Marcus johnson of At
water and Senator Daniel Shell of Worth
lngton. MI: Schurmeier has declared him
self for a late convention
BlaDy is not a candidate for Governor
nor probably will not be- He wants to
beat Van SAINT, but would rather make
the attempt with some one else.
'Bixby would better hurry up with his
candidate said an insurgent to-day eff
he or somebody else doesn't come out
pretty soon, the convention will be held
and Van SAINT will be nominated.'
: July l is near the usual convention
date. Clough was nominated on July 1,
and Eustis on June 80. The date suits
the farmers as it comes before the
| harvest rush.
s.What reason is there for a late con
vention?'' one of the opposition members
of the committee asked to-day.
| well, we want to- take plenty of time
to canvass the situation and see what is
best for the party was the answer .tThe
farmers will come, whenever we hold the
convention. We want to take plenty of
time and see that the nominee of the
convention is the choice of the people.
We want to pick out the best man.
By the sshest man" was meant, of
course, anybody but Van SAINT.
Who this will be, no one knows. All
the men talked Of as candidates, including
Bixby, know that popular sentiment is for
Van SAINT. They have no desire to throw
themselves into the breach and be offered
up as sacrifices. The opposition to the
policy of Roosevelt and Van SAINT is pow
erful, but not popular. The insurgents
are up against hard proposition, and are
as much at sea for a candidate as ever.

MEAT INQUIRY
BROADENED
In Case of Illegal Rebates
Goods Are Likely to Be
Seized in Transit.
Facts That the Investigation
in Missouri Is Bringing
Out To-day.


Chicago, May 7.-United States District
Attorney S. H. Bethea returned to CHI
cago to-day after his conference with At
torney General Knox relative to the in
vestlgation of the so-called beef trust
1t was announced that the bill for injunc-
ton against the big packers is being
printed at Washington and that it will
probably be filed here Friday, when Spe-
cial Attorney Day is expected to arrive
with it.
Indications are that the scope of the
inquiry has been broadened materially.
1t has been ascertained that the bill will
ask not only for dissolution of conr
tracts entered into by and between pack
ers, but that goods in transit be seized if
1t can be shown that contracts exist
whereby railways are allowing packers
illegal rebates.
