In one day last week more than 1900
immigrants landed at the port of New
York, and within torty-eight hours after
nearly the whole of this army was dis
tributed by rail over the United States
to be absorbed in the rest of the popula-
ton. While many believe in a protect
i've tariff against manufactured goods,
this is a gentle reminder that there is no
tariff against muscle.

The Missouri Supreme Court has fined
five meat packing houses under the State
ANTITRUST law SIS, 900 each for being in
the meat trust. Their fines with costs
amounting to $27, 1856 have been paid.
That amount many times over has been
taken from the ~meat-eating public, and
was easily paid. What is most needed is
criminal prosecution against the leading
officials of these companies.

President Roosevelt thinks a bigger
navy necessary to maintain the Monroe
doctrine. When VIM. H. Seward told
the French to get out of Mexico and
when Richard Olney told England and
Great Britain to keep hands off Venezuela
this country did not have a big navy. 1t

armor in these days in order to have his

CHANGE IN OLD ROUTE,
It Is Being Considered by Illinois Gem
tral Railroad.


tral Railroad.
Sioux City, Aug. Am important
change in its route between Sioux City
and Chicago is being considered by the
Illinois Central railroad. and the ru-
NOR in railroad circles Is that the road
Is about ready to make the change.
For some time the Central has been
figuring on double tracking Its system
between Dubuque and Chicago. The
most expensive part OF The work, II IL
declared. would be between Galena and
Scales Mound In Illinois, there being q
heavy grade between these towns and
also a great many dftchcs and streams
to cross.
Now it is said the company has de-
cided to build from. Scales Mound to
DUBUQUE over new route which would
cut out Galena, passing several miles
south of the historic capital od 10
Daviess county. This would be seri-
GUS blow to Galena. thru which city
Illinois Central has run for nIany. many
years.
1t Is reported that even II the new
track were constructed south OF Golena
it would be used only for east-bound
business. Thus. Illinois Central trains
east would pass around Galena, but
Illinois Central trains coming west
would go thru Galena, as at present. A
stub line would be built from GalenA
to Scales Mound to put Galena In COM
munfcation with east bound trains.

Sarto Very Popular.

Giuseppe Sarte was born in Riesi,
diocese of Treviso, June 2, 1896, and
was created cardinal by Leo XIII. at
the consistory of June IL. 1898, receiv-
ing the title OF ST. Bernardo delle
Terme. He is also patriarch of Venice
since June, 1898. and bishop of Man
tua.
Cardinal Sarto enjoys great popular
ity in his diocese. and is honored by
all for his purity, for the strict up
rightness of his life, and for liberal
ideas. He is a modest and agreeable
man, highly cultivated. very kind
hearted, still strong and robust in spite
of his 6S years. He may be considered
among the more liberal members of the
Italian eposcopate and sacred college.
He is rather timid In expressing an
opinion. 1t is said that Leo XIII. al
ways thought very highly OF him, and
sided with him on one occasion when
Sarto disapproved of Rampolla's pol
icy. Altho most faithful to the holy
see he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy at Venice.

GOLD STANDARD INEVITABLE.

Mexican Conference Shows That
Country Must Come to 1t.
Mexico City, Aug. 4.--The third sub
committee of the monetary conference
has adopted the report made by Ricar-
do Garcia Grandos, which, after citing
figures regarding the worlds present
stock of gold, says these figures dem.
onstrate to the point of evidence that
gold is at present nominally "nos
scarce" but tends to predominant abb
solutely as the sole standard and mel
sure of values, silver being relegated to
a secondary and subsidiary role as q
token of coinage.
The repor. continues:
Our commerce is carried on at pres
ent almost exclusively with gold stand
ard countries and If we wish to avoid
or mitigate monetary and mercantile
crisis it is imperative that we intro
duce a monetary reform that Will give
stability to our currency.
The adoption Of this report by ne
commission is taken to indicate that a,

mended in a modified form by the en-

timony and submitting report as 10
the facts in the case. This report ana
the testimony was referred TO Juase
Advocate Davis, who made an exten-
sive review and submitted an opinion
to Secretary Root.
General Davis reviews the case IN de-
tail and says a case falling within the
statutes is clearly shown, and suggest
ed that demand be made on Littaur
Bros. for the repayment Of the contract
of December Z, 1898.
Secretary Roots endorsement says in
part: Il suppose there is no doubt
that manufacturing firm. one mem
ber of which happens to be member
of congress, has a right to manufac-
ture and sell goods to jobbers who are
filling government contracts, and that
they do not come within the provisions
OF the statute so long as the contract
between the firm and jobbers is sep
arate and distinct transaction from the
contract between the jobber and the
government. There appears to be no
evidence that in the manufacture OF
gloves by Littaur Bros, to be- used In
filing government contracts made by
Lyon and others, there was any viola
ton of the statute except in one case,
the contract of December, Z. 1898.
1t Is not the duty or right of the sec
retary of war to adjudicate that case or
to determine whether the statute was
or was not violated, except in SO far
as it may be necessary for him to de-
eide what action should be taken by
the war department in view of the
facts disclosed. I think the indications
of an interest by the manufacturing
fir mare sufficient to require me to pro-
ceed upon the theory that there is a
prima facie case of a violation of the
statute"

Land Bill en- Second Reading.

London, Aug. 4.-The duke of Devon
shire moved the second reading of the
Irish land bill in the house of lords
yesterday. The duke said that the gov
eminent was confident that the ex-
penditure of the $60,0OO,000 provided in
the bill would be fully compensated for
by economies in the judicial machinery
and the reduction of the police expenses
which the addition of the measure
would render possible.
In conclusion, the speaker declared
that altho it would be rash to predict
that 1t would prove final settlement
OF the Irish question, any serious alter
alton of the bill as adopted by the
house of commons would release the
contracting parties from the obliga-
tions mutually undertaken. Never be-
fore, he said, had the representatives OF
the various interests concerned asked
parliament to sanction q settlement,

ARMOUR BoYcoTTs KANSAS CITY.
Packing Company Diverts Live Stock
Shipments to Fort Worth.


Kansas City, Aug. 4.-The Armour
Packing Company of Kansas City has
withdrawn from the Kansas City
Transportation Bureau. There is no
doubt that the withdrawal was caused
because w. P. Trickett. commissioner
OF the Kansas City Transportation Bu-
reau, interfered with the plans of Ar
mour s. Co. to take away from the
Kansas City market large and profit
able shipping territory, including a
large part of Oklahoma territory and
all OF the Indian territory 1t is the plan
of Armour &. Co TO make this territory
tributary to Fort Worth, where Armour
q Co. has a packing house.
Soon after the establishment Of Its
packing plant at Fort Worth the Ar
mours secured a new tariff for live
stock in Oklahoma and the Indian ter
ritory. The rates were so favorable to
Fort Worth and so discriminating to
the Kansas City market that at the In
stance of the live stock men the trans
portation bureau sought to secure a re-
vision of the rates. The Armour Pack
ing Company resented the bureaus
effort to secure fair rates for the Kan
sas City live stock men and withdrew
from the bureau.
The railroad rates secured by the Ar
mour Packing Company practically
deprive Kansas City OF shipments of
cattle and hogs from points in Oklaho-
ma south of Red Rock on the Santa Fe;
Pond Creek on the Rock Island: ,Sapul-
pa on the Frisco. and Wagner on the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas. The terri-
tory which is taken from Kansas City
includes the best part of Oklahoma and
of the Indian territory. The rates Sc
cured by the Ar1nours were an advance
beyond the old rates. but the increase
is far greater to Kansas City than to
Fort Worth, and In that way the Fort
Worth market Is favored.

themselves suggested.
This duke of Abercorn conservative,
while appreciating the liberality of the
financial provisions of the bin, declared
that nothing could racompense the
landlords for the losses they would
have to sustain. If their sporting
rights were lost. their property sold,
there would be no inducement for, the
country gentlemen to remain in Ire
land.
Lord Crewe (liberaD followed. and
said that unless the landlords sold on a
large scale, serious results would fol-
low. because the unsold estates would
become centers of discomfort and dis
turbances.
The earl of Dunraven conservative
congratulated the government on the
bill, which, he said. was broad and

that the bill failed to carry out the en-

did not return to the senator's room,
but an employe of the hotel is respon-
sible for the statement they went to

Mr.. Blythe answered all knocks at
the door. When a reporter called Mr..

in the room.
Mr.. Blythe added that so far as he
knew Senator Allison and the gov

just left Mr.. Blythe's room and de-
scended in the elevator. Senator AL
lison did not return to his room to his
room and no one saw the Minnesota
