cago since he left the service of the
Southern Pacific and resumed his old
place with the Grand Trunk. Mr.. Hays
returned four weeks ago from London
where his plans were submitted to the
Grand Trunk board, and, it is said, that
they have received the approval of the
directors.
The plan is to extend the Grand
Trunk through Wisconsin and Mime
sofa to st. Paul, thence northwest into
Manitoba and from there practically
paralleling the Canadian Pacific. This
report comes from one of Mr.. Hays
close associates, who says there is no
question that active work in the will
begin within twelve months.
The Grand Trunk has acquired con-
troll of the Clover Leaf, giving it a di-
rect line from Detroit to st. Louis.
This practically forms a new through
line from New York to st. Louis over
the Lackawanna or Delaware & Hud-
son to Buffalo, Grand Trunk to De-
troit and Clover Leaf to st. Louis.

PACKING COMBINE
IS ABANDONED
Claim That This Is Due to the Att.
tude of the National Admin
istration.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The combina-
ton of the great packing houses of
the country, which has been under
consideration and in process of actual
formation for the last six months, is
said to have been abandoned, at least
for the present. The decision not to
contemplate the combination is due
in a large degree to the attitude of the
national administration toward trusts,
as outlined by President Roosevelt in
his recent speeches, and to the posi-
biltty that in, the event of a consolida-
ton congress might remove the tariff
on cattle.
1t was learned that a final meeting
of the heads of the firms known as
the big four packing houses in Chicago
had been held, at which 1t was agreed
to end all negotiations at once. This
was followed by an order issued from
the Office of Swift & Co. that the firms
employees should Immediately discon-
tinue the inventory of property and
stock which had been ordered and
started for the purpose of tabulating
report of the financial condition Of the
company which was to have been used
as basis of the division of shares-in
the combine.

YOUNG STRATToN DECIDES TO
CONTEST HIS FATHERS WILL
He Thereby Forfeits the $4,000 Be-
uueathed TO Him

DENVER, Col, Sept. pa Harry
Stratton, of Pasadena, CAL, today de-
cided to contest the will of his father,
Winfield S. Stratton, which left the
bulk of his estate, estimated to be
worth from $10,O00,0O0 to $12,000,000,
for the establishment of a home for
poor sick people at Colorado Springs.
Under the will young Mr.. Stratton for
feits the $4,000 which his father be-
queathed to him by making the con-
test.
Aside from the allegations that the
will is void on the ground of public
policy and it's visionary provisions, it
will also be averred that w. S. STRAIT
ton was mentally incompetent to dis
pose of his property.
1t is said that Wolcott & Vale,
counsel for Young Stratton, will re-
ceive $1,000,000 as their fee if they sue
coed in breaking the will. Young Mr..
Stratton would not consent to bring
suit until he was assured by the at
torneys that the clause in the will pro-
viding for the forfeit of his bequest of
100000 if he should make contest
was void.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 24-There
will be no contest between the rifle
teams of the Illinois and Minnesota
National guard for the Washburn tro-
ply this year, as Minnesota, which
challenged Illinois, did not get her
challenge in by March 1, the specified
time. The Illinois team did not make
as good a showing at the rifle range at
Cape Lincoln, in shooting for places
on the state team, as was expected, and
for this reason took advantage Of the
provision which stated that the chal
lenge must be sent in by March 1.
Should Minnesota send a challenge

EMPEROR OF KOREA
REPORTED DEAD
1t Had Been Announced That His CeIe-
bration Was Postponed Be-
cause of the Cholera.

PARIS, Sept. 25.-In dispatch from
Seoul, Korea, the correspondent of the
Figaro says it is reported that the
emperor of Korea is dead.
A dispatch from Seoul last Monday
said the celebration of the anniversary
of the coronation of, the Emperor vi
Hieung had been postponed in conse-
quence of the spread of cholera there,
but the real reason of the postpone
ment was alleged to be lack of funds.
Vi Hieung succeeded to the throne in
1854. He assumed the title of emperor
in 1897 1t was reported in 1898 that
the emperor and the crown prince of
Korea had been poisoned. They both
recovered. 1t was then believed that
the poisoner was a lady of the emper-
ors household and she was supposed
to have been actuated by jealousy or
political motives.

MANIFESTO FROM
THE BOER GENERALS
They Repudiate All Desire to Inflame
the Minds of the
People.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 24.-The Boer
generals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey,
have issued manifesto In the shape
Of an appeal to the civilized world.
This document recalls how, after the
terrible struggle in South Africa, the
Beers were compelled to accept the
British terms of peace, the generals
were commissioned to proceed to Eng
land and appeal to the new govern
ment to allay the distress which is
devastating the colonies, and, in the
event of the failure of the mission to
appeal to the civilized world for chari-
table contributions.
The generals say that having failed
to induce Great Britain to grant fur
Their assistance it only remains for
them to address themselves to the peo-
pie of Europe and America. After set
ting forth how sweet it had been, dur
ing the critical days they had passed
through, to receive constant marks Of
sympathy, the generals take this OPP
pOrtun1ty to express, on behalf of the
people of the late republics, fervent
thanks to all those who had assisted
char1tably the women and children in
the concentration camps, prisoners, etc.
Inc SHlal BOer nation, goes on
the manifesto, can never forget the
help it received in it's dark hours of
suffering. Our people are completely
ruined. 1t has been impossible to make
complete inventory, but we are con-
WINGED that at least 10000 houses on
Boer farms and many villages were
burned or destroyed by the British
during the war. Everything was de-
stroyed and the country was complete
ly laid waste. The war demanded many
victims, the land was bathed in tears,
and orphans and widows were aban-
doned. We are appealing to the world
for contributions to assist the desti-
tute and help in the education of chill
dren.'
The generals repudiate all desire to
lnf1ame the minds of the people and
declare: "The sword is now sheathed
and all differences are silent in the
presence of such great misery
They say the small amount given by
Great Britain even if multiplied ten
fold would not suffice to cover the war
losses alone.
I'VE solicit the hearty cooperation
of all existing committees in the vari-
Gus countries which we are on the
point of visiting with the object of es-
tabHshing satisfactory organization"
