The Trust Leaders Promise That Price
Shall Be Reduced.

New York, April 27.-Relief is prom
Used definitely from the present abnor-
NAL prices of meat, and within a month
they will have reached nearly or ex-
actly their former level This state
ment will appear in the Press, tomor-
row. which will also say:
"The promise of relief was made,
last Sunday night by Ferdinand
Su!zberger, one of the big Six when
ne was comforting with the members
of the committee of investigation ap-
pointed by the Republican Club of this
city. While this conference was only
preliminary to the important one to be
held in Washington, with all of the
meat 'barons," Mr.. Suizberger felt
called on to make some definite promise
to the insistent committeeman.
Il can say with assurance" he said,
when pressed for some promise of re-
lief, that in a month from now prices
will have sought their former level, or
close to it. l can make that promise
because there will be an influx by that
time of the grass fed cattle from Texas,
market a break in prices is bound to
follow"
1t was learned that the conference to
be held in Washington will be held,
next Thursday, in place not yet Sc
lected AS it is to be a secret session
the place chosen probably will not be
made known in advance. Those at the
conference will be G. r. Swift, Ogden
Armour, j. Lyman OF Hammond & Co.
Edward Morris of Nelson, Morris &
Co.. Michael Cudahy and Ferdinand
Sulzberger of Schwarz, Child & Sulz-
berger. These men will confer in Wash

this state, and Alfred l.. Bullowa, Sem
ator Samuel S. Slater and James W.
Halves, members of the committee ap-
pointed by the Republican Club to in
vestigate the meat question and assist
in prosecution. if relief could not be
obtained in any other way.
1t is not believed that Attorney Gen.
eral Knox will be present, as such
proceeding while he is preparing to
prosecute the trust men can hardly be
likely.

A remarkable quarrying feat was re-
Gently accomplished at Rubislaw quar-
ries, Aberdeen. Scotland. A large stone
had been drilled, ready for splitting,
when the thought struck the foreman
that the severe frost which prevailed
might be utilized. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes. and it was
found after a couple of days that the
block of granite had completely burst
open. An idea of the immense power
of the frost will be gathered when it is
stated that the stone thus detached
measures ~ feet by feet, and has a
weight of about six tons.
