said a close follower of the grain
market, speaking of the December
option in corn. II am inclined to be-
ieve Mr.. Armour has something like
100000 bushels of December corn.
1t is not extravagant to say that
he has accumulated this immense line
at something like A cents bushel
on the average. December corn rose
to SO cents. There you have profit
of nine cents a bushel, which, ex-
pressed in dollars, is S2,7OO,0OO."

TO CORRECT DEFECTS
Congress Will Strengthen the PEN
atty Clause of Trust Bill.
No Constitutional Amendment Needed to
Provide imprisonment for Those Who
Violate the Laws Coal Strike Has
Aggravated the Situation.

Washington, Oct. 21.-One effect of
the coal strike and the methods
chiefly employed in its settlement will
undoubtedly be the consideration of
legislation by the coming session of
congress looking to the correction
of existing defects in the laws that
were framed for meeting such condi-
lions as those which have prevailed
in the anthracite regions for nearly
six months. That there will be legis-
1ation looking to the correction of
trust abuses is now accepted with
out question. Attorney General Knox
has made it plain that an amend
ment to the constitution is not nee
essary to provide means of reach
ing the trusts and it is now expected
that the public sentiment aroused by
the operations of the coal trust, the
meat combine and other combina-
tions of that character, will compel
congress to take action.
An effort will be made to amend
the antitrust law, so as to bring into
force the criminal features, which,
for some reason, have been allowed
to remain imperative, though section
2 of the act of 1890 fixes fine
of $1,000 or one years Imprisonment,
or both, for every person who shall
monopolize or attempt to monopolize
or combine or conspire with any 9th
er person or persons to monoplize
any part of the trade or commerce
among the sereval state, etc. If buy
ing up the coal mines and operat,
ing them in connection with railroads
. under system of freight rates which
precludes, competition does not come
within this provision of law an at,
tempt will be made to frame a law
which will meet the case.

WEARY OF LIVING.
James Younger, Ex-Bandit, Com.
mitted Suicide in st. Paul, MINI.
Wanted to Wed q Young Woman. But Hs
Was Legally Dead and Couldn't Get q
License-Not on Speaking
Terms with Cole.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 20.-James
Younger, formerly a member of the
notorious James band of outlaws,
which infested the western country
a quarter of a century ago, commit
ted suicide yesterday by shooting.
He left a letter to the press in which
he gives as a reason for his act de-
spondency over continued ill health
and separation from his friends.
Younger, since his parole from the
state penitentiary in July of last
year, had led an exemplary life. His
first employment was a travelling
one of the trips he made about the
state he was quite seriously hurt
by fall from a wagon. Old wounds
he had received earlier in life also
gave him much trouble and, al
though he soon obtained lighter en-
ployment, his health was extremely
precarious and this caused him much
worriment. He was 81 years of age.
On bureau in the room was found
long Manila envelope, one side of
which was written: ''To all that is
good and true I love and bid fare
well.-Jim Younger" On the other
side of the envelope were these
words: "Oh, lassie, good-by. All
relatives, just stay away from me.
No crocodile tears wanted. Report
ers: Be my friends. Burn me up
Jim Younger"
The envelope contained a package
of letters that had passed between
Younger and a lady with whom he
is said to have been much in love.
The lady, who is prominently con-
nected, is said to have reciprocated
his affection and it was reported at
one time that they were to be mar
ried. The lady's relatives raised
strenuous objections to the wedding
and further obstacle was the fact
that it was pointed out that a pa
rolled prisoner could not legally con-
tract marriage. The couple deter
mined to disregard the objections
of relatives and an effort was made
to overcome the other obstacle to
their marriage by securing from the
state board of pardons a full pardon
and restoration to citizenship. This
effort failed and this, it is thought,
had much to do with Younger's deter
mination to end his life. 1t is also
said that relations between Jim and
Cole Younger were very much
strained-in fact that the brothers
had not been on speaking terms for
the past six months.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-The depart

owing to the remarkably cool and
wet summer experienced throughout
a considerable part of Europe, the
harvest of 1902 is one of the latest
on record. The promise of an album
dant yield, therefore, has been only
partly fulfilled in Europe, allowing
for grain gathered in a damaged
condition and for that actually
spoiled. Russia has the best report
