PACKERS ENJOINED.
Restrained by Court from COnspiring
to Control Decentralization
Is Temporary.

Chicago, May 21.-The six great
packing houses that together control
60 per cent. of the meat business
of the United States have been en-
joined from continuing any combina-
ton or agreement by which prices
are fixed or trade is restrained.
Judge Grosscup, in the United States
circuit court Tuesday afternoon, at
the request of the government, en-
tered the order for temporary in
junction. The packers made no OPP
position to it, except in some par
ticular details, and through their
counsel, John S. Miller, they an
nounced that they were not yet
ready for the battle. 1t will be Au-
gust before the real fight comes, for
the law gives the defendants that
much time, and when it does come it
will be upon questions of law and
not upon questions of fact.
The firms against which the tenn
porary injunction stands are: Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co., the Cudahy
Packing company, Nelson Morris &
Co., the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
company, the Hammond Packing
company. Two subordinate compa-
MES, the Armour Packing company
and the G. HI. Hammond company, are
also enjoined, as are some 80 of the
owners, officials and employees of the
companies.

ADOPTS REVISED CREED.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
Unanimously Agrees to Changes
in Confession of Faith

New York, May 23.-The general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church
Thursday adopted the report of the
committee on creed revision making
changes in the Confession of Faith. This
action, which was practically unani-
nous, was taken with little or no de-
bate. The change proposed will now
go to the various presbyteries for rat
ification. When the report was pre-
scented last Friday motion for its
adoption was made at once, but the
vote was deferred until Thursday. As
was to be expected, the prospect of an
interesting debate on creed revision
attracted a crowd which filled the gall
leries solidly and when the doors of
the ground floor were opened all the
seats not reserved for the commissions
ers were occupied at once.
New York, May 24.-The Presby-
terrain general assembly voted to APP
point a committee to cooperate with
committees from other religious
bodies to secure uniform restrictive
legislation relative to divorce and re-
marriage.

IN THE WRONG OFFICE.
The War Department Had Jurisdic'
tiOn Over NavigabIe Rivers,
But Not Creeks

An amusing incident occurred the
other day in the usually prosaic pre-
cincts of the Office of the secretary Of
war. In addition to the customary
throng of official callers was small
band of Indians who had come from
the far distant reservation in the west
to see 'the Great Father" as the Indi-
ans call the president, relates the
washington Star. Sphinx-like and
stoical, they awaited their turn to talk
business. Secretary Root did not keep
them long in suspense. His quiet man.
ner and civilian dress did not seem to
impress them much, and at first they
seemed unwilling to stand up and talk
to him. After the exchange of many
gesticulations and gatteral grunts be-
tween the big chief, Thlecumfxico,
and the interpreter, the latter under.
took to tell the secretary what was
wanted, but with Indifferent success.
He said that the big chief said "his
heart was white" and his spirit was
white" and that he wanted 'justice
and peace. The secretary was clearly
puzzled by the situation. He under
took to. explain that the war depart.
ment had no jurisdiction over the In.
dams and suggested that they had bet
ter see the secretary of the interior.
The red men would not understand him
and the chief started to make another
harangue.
what tribe do these men belong
to-" finally inquired the secretary.
"The Creeks" replied the interpre.
ter.
"Ah, the Creeks" remarked the Sec
rotary with smile. 81 see it all now,
but they have made a mistake. / have
jurisdiction over navigable rivers, but
not over creeks"
The war secretary then withdrew;
the Indians left the Office in single file
and were started off in the direction
of the interior department.

TRADE REVIEW.
Situation in Business and Industrial
Circles as Viewed by Lead
ing Agencies.

New York, May PAR. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Many
minor labor controversies have been settled,
but the situation in the anthracite coal
region has assumed more serious aspect
Railway earnings continue satisfactory;
roads reporting for two weeks of May show
gains of 81 per cent over last year, and Is. 4
per cent. over 1900. No change is reported
in the iron and steel situation, former con-
ditions merely becoming intensified by the
threatened decrease in supplies of fuel and
the labor controversies in certain branches
Of the industry. The railways are seek
ing rails, rolling stock and other equip
ment, while contractors require much struc-
tural material. Quiet conditions have pre-
vailed in the cereal markets, with only
moderate volume of option transactions
and fractional changes in quotation. Dis
patches from correspondents of r. G. Dun
& Co. indicate satisfactory progress with
the new corn crop and material increase
in acreage.
Failures for the week numbered 1872 in
the United States, against $50 last year,
and II in Canada, against Y last year."
Bradstreet's says: with almost uni
formly good wheat, corn. oats and cotton
crop reports, improved retail demand
caused by warmer weather. full volume of
recorder business for this season of the
year, good collections and heavy railroad
earnings, the only cloud on the situation
would seem to be the continued unrest of
labor and the idleness of large numbers of
industrial workers as a result thereof. Tele-
grams to Bradstreet's point to the great
ly increased area devoted to corn and oats
is receiving adequate moisture at time
when greatly needed. 1t will probably be
found that all of the 100000 acres of win

be turned into coarser grains, high prices
for which have been induced by short
yields and straiteneG supplies last year

GOLD FROM GOLDFISH.
London Papers Swallow Tough
Yarn About the Credulity of
Our Farmers.

After hearing from returning Eng
lishmen few tales about New York's
gold brick industry they are prepared
to believe anything in London about
the plausibility of the American ICON"
man and the gullibility of his victims.
A particularly tough yarn has just
gone the rounds of the London papers
about gathering of Kansas farmers
who contributed 500 apiece to ven
cradle person who had process for
extracting gold from goldfish, says the
New York Sun. -
According to his yarn the venerable
person with the glib tongue and the
gold extracting process met the farm
ers at the Aquarium. He confded to
them that through peculiar chemical
process in the goldfish's digestion dis
covered by him several grains of pure
gold are made and dissolved in its body
daily.
The gold, of course, came out of the
seawater like that of the Boston gen.
tIeman who made fortune out of
credulous folks year or so ago. After
inspecting the gold fish the scientist
took his farmer friends to labora-
tory.
There after juggling with chemicals
he produced from small fish a gilt
tering nugget. After that the farmers
contributed readily and the scientist
disappeared with the proceeds of his
collection.
OF course~the credulity. even of Kan
sas farmers, ends somewhere, and
there hasn't been any such swindle.
But the London papers swallowed the
yarn. One of them found in it very
good reason why Englishmen shouldn't
be persuaded to be Americanized into
adopting Yankee business methods in
any degree.

Death in the Flood.

A severe electric storm burst over
Preston, causing extensive damage to
property and the loss of four lives.
There was violent wind and inces-
SAINT lightning. Although many per-

dered on cyclone, the characteristic
funnel-shaped cloud was not observ-

Conkey was 35 years old. He left a
widow and one child.
Chimneys, fences and signs were
blown down all about the town..
Ten miles west of Preston there
was a cloudburst. The Root river be-

Willbright, a young farmer, hurried
his wife and three children into a
buggy and started for high ground.
But he was obliged to ford a gully
that is ordinarily dry. Here an I'M
expected stream, five feet deep and
roaring like mill race, caught and
overturned the buggy and swept the
three little ones to sudden death.
They were two girls, aged seven and
five, and boy of ten months. The
body of the baby has not yet been
recovered

table on page II of the report
