FIX PRICE OF BEEF AND PORK
ARGENTINE IDEA TO AMALGAMATE
WITH THE AMERICAN
TRUST.
HOT AFTER IHf BRITISH MARKET
WILL FIGHT FOR 1T WHETHER
THEY COMBINE WITH THE
AMERICANS OR NOT.

London, Aug. 29.-Edward and Will
lam V. Casey of Buenos Ayres. with
the assistance of British capital, are
organizing a combine of the refriger-
ating, packing and cattle growing in
terests of the Argentine Republis,
with view to joining hands with the
Chicago packing trust In order to con-
troll the meat trade Of the world. They
believe that when such an amalgama-
ton has been effected the United
States and Argentina will be able to
dictate the price of food wherever the
human family depends on pork and
beef for it's sustenance. William V.
Casey, in discussing the matter said:
1.-THE United States is at present the
worlds butcher, but the increasing
demands of its own population and
the decreasing supply of cattle will
eventually force the American packers
TO devote themselves exclusively to
the home market Then will be the
time that Argentina will demonstrate
the ineXhaustible productiveness of its
virgin soil.
"Whether we ally ourselves with the
American trust or not, we shall GER
tainly give it fight for the profitable
British market, which is dependent
on North and South American meat
during nine months of the year. The
chilled meats of Argentina and the
United States can be sold in Great
Britain at a profit of so per cent, while
the demand constantly exceeds our ca
pacity. When our arrangements are
complete we expect TO engage an ex-
perienced Chicago packer to conduct
the business and particularly to intro
duce the Chicago method of using
every part Of the slaughtered animavs.

Pardee for Governor.
Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 29.-The most
hotly contested factional fight in the
history of the Republican party in Cal
ifornia came to an end yesterday
when the sixth ballot was taken in the
state convention for the guoernatortal

sembled the forces of Gov. Gage were
still hopeful Of making some combina-

broken, and the opposing forces mani

Tuesday Gov. Gage reached his
highest vote on the fourth ballot, when

the next dropped to 1895 1-2. The end
came amid the greatest confusion.
When Shasta county was reached In

mise of Eben Waters.
A dispatch from Salem, Mass, con-
veys the information that Eben
Waters prophetic name), 80 years
old, died last week from excessive
water drinking. He did not indulge
in alcoholic drinks of any kind, and
he Is said to have been temperate in
all things except his appetite for
water. 1t was his habit to drink
three quarts of water every 1ay, and
this. his doctors say, resulted In com.
plications that proved fatal" At any
rate, he died. II Is sad case TO con-
template. Here was a man cut OF
in the prime of life, at the perihelion
of his usefulness, so to speak, and
all because of the lack of little
wholesome restraint. 1t Is charitable
to believe that he was not wholly re-
sponsible. 1t may have been that he
was an only son, and that his doting
have his own way too often, and did
not point out strongly enough that
self-indulgence is the shortest path
to the grave. OF course, they see
their error now that 1t is too late,
which is the cause of fully oEe-third
of the tragedies of life. Scientists
aver that the average of life is great
er now than at any other period in
the history of man, and that more in
terest is taken in the subject of long
evity. II this be so, there is a moral
in the untimely demise of Mr.. Waters.

A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent In.
corporation Of the international Har.
vester Company which took over the
business Of the FIVE leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion OF
the farming community.
The economical necessity OF con-
solidation Of the interests OF manufac-
turers and those OF their farmer Gus
toners must De apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
OF material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence OF ex-
treme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents--has made the business
Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the In
creasing Of the prices of machines o.
the reduction OF the cost OF manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
OF the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There Is no watered
stock: the capitalization is con-
sentative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered TO the public, II having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
ates.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
II. Mccormick Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
man Finance Committee, George w.
Perkins; Vice-Presidents. Harold f.
Mccormick, James Deering, VIM. II.
Jones and John j. Glessner; Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe.
The members of the Board OF Direct
ors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley,

BITTER AGAINST PALMA.
Strong Talk of Impeaching the Gu
ban President.


Havana, Aug. 3o.-President Palma
finds himself to-day without the sup
port of a single newspaper controlled
by the Cubans. The editorials pub
lished in the Cuban press are. consid-
cred collectively, remarkable for their
bitterness and outspoken opposition to
the chief executive. One of the prin-
cipal causes of the opposition to the
president seems to arise from the fact
that he granted the Castaneda conces-
sion for the establishment OF an elec-
trio light plant at Havana. This con-
cessiGn has been a subject Of bitter
discussion in the house of representa-
tives, and some members of the house
are demanding Senior Palma's i'm
parchment unless the concession is re-
scinded.

he not a great favorite of the man

well. well, then will have to dis

But she did not, and as the days and
nights passed she came more and
more to look for him and to listen
more and more to the sharp and dis
eliminating criticism upon the per-
Torrance passed from night to night
by the keen young fellow who was not
afraid And there were delightful
little Bohemian lunches after the play
at which only Herbert and she and
Marie were present. And 80 she came
to tolerate him. But finally she came
to pity him. The season was drawing
to close and she was planning to go
away--a very long way-to rest. 1t
was really too bad to lead the boy on
and then drop him like an old shoe.
Then a sharp pang came to her as
she thought IL all over. 1t came to her
that IL would cost her something To
exclude this bright and bouyant at
mosphere from her life. Really he was
the most original and entertaining man
who had come into her life-yes, and
the freshest and most honest. She
would miss him-yes, she would miss
him sorely. The arguments over the

admiration-or was IL alteration? All
these things she would miss, and
Grace had not been trained in the
school of going without. Why miss
all these good things that she liked?
He was by far the best man, all things
considered, she had ever met. Why
not marry him and have him always
with her. The idea was ridiculous or
course-he was a mere boy and she
had had proposals from the richest
and the most distinguished-but she
liked him and she didn't need money
or position-that she had acquired and
could acquire, and she liked the boy
and wanted him TO be with her. Be
sides she had encouraged him to n
certain extent and she felt 1t would be
brutal to break his heart. Yes. she
would yield to one humane and kindly
impulse-she could well afford 1t now
that she was on the top wave and
managers bidding for her. She would
give the boy an opportunity to propose
and she would accept him and then
and her thoughts went out along
rosy highway of day-dreams, which
left her cheeks flushed and her eyes
soft and moist.
