Chicago, Sept 26.-Strong assertion
was made by a morning paper yesterday
that the proposed merger of packing
houses had been abandoned for the pres
ent owing TO the antitrust utterances
OF President Roosevelt i'm recent speeches

solidation congress might remove the

cngo had been held. at which il was
agreed TO end all negotiations at once.

a Prince Albert coat. with striped trou-
sers and carrying heavy walking
stick. met his English partner.
1T is mainly my purpose in coming
over to attend the meeting of steamship
line directors and managers" he said.
He was asked If the fact that Henry
wilding. OF the Leyland line. had not ar
rived, would delay the meeting.
II think that the managers will wait
until Mr.. wilding comes" he replied.
"The object OF the meeting Is to COM
plete negotiations. The preliminaries of
the combine have been settled"
"Wiu the Cunard line come in7"
There is no possibility OF the Cunard

There will be no Canadian trust" he
continued. ''The st. Lawrence river is not
navigable in winter. do not think there
is any possibility OF England running a

Reminded that Charles T. Yerkes had
said when here that he was going to

| TO the last inch, and that parliament had
| refused franchise to Mr.. Morgan until

Mr. Yerkes' statement Is very humor-
Gus. The fact is Parliament put both Of

mcns!ons bids fair TO rival the cele-

OF this cave is east and west, and its
dimensions are approximately $50 feet
in length and 20 feet In height, with
a maximum width of 40 feet.
Like most caves. IL diminishes In
height and width as il penetrates in
land until II dwiudles 10 mere tis-
sure about eighteen Inches wide. which
can be seen TO extend for some dis
tance farther. About halt way i'll
there Is an upper gallery or smaller
cave. which extends only Il short way.
The Stalactitcs and stala aSmitcs are nu-
mcrOus and varied In shape and size.
In several instances they have united
to form complete pillars. The entrance
to the cave is about $50 yards south Of
