EARRE HAS HOPES FOR HARP

Much consultation at the White House and
elsewhere has resulted In decision to send
| to Congress the Neill-Reynolds report as to
/ the meat business in the great packing
| houses of the West. This will be done
within a few days. The White House Is
| somewhat shy as to whether the full re-
port or a part of 1t will be given to Con-
gress 1t Is supposed that no part of it
will be suppressed and that statesmen and
the common herd throughout the country
viii be fully edited by alleged disgusting
details of all sorts.
| The report Is understood to be in course
of preparation and not ready for transmit
/ tai to Congress The finishing touches will
! be put upon it in the next few days. AS
heretofore stated. Messrs NELL and Rey>
| nolos at first made verbal report to the
President. accompanying 1t with some
1 memorandums. AS the Information was
| supposed to be for the benefit of the Presi-
dent, and Congress was not then contem-
pared.
This has been done in the last few days
| with the object of making public il de-
| manded by Congress Under these circum-
| stances it Is reasonably certain that un-
| usual care has been taken in eliminating
as much as possible that is uncorronorated
| by actual facts and testimony.
| Representative Wadsworth. chairman of
| the House committee on agriculture, spent
| twenty minutes or half hour with the
President this morning going over the meat
| inspection situation as 1t stands in Con-
gress. Mr.. Wadsworth said that time
would be taken to evolve a measure that
| would be satisfactory to all concerned, "a
bill that will be without injury to any
body" he said.
| That this is a period of incubation and
| 5ai wit congressional leaders
4 on this subject is manifest by the number
| of conferences going on. and the care
| shown in reaching conclusions Mr.. Wads-
worth has had two talks with the PreSi-
| dent in the last few days, and half dozen
| other leaders have consulted with the chief
| executive.
| Brazil Making Little Progress.
Henry Forster Hitch the senior member
! of an American firm that has been engaged
| in sugar planting near Pernambuco. Brazil.
| for nearly half a century, called on the
| President today to talk with him about NIL
| ing the consular office at Pernambueo. When
Mr.. Hitch was asked about conditions IN
Brazil he said: They are not especially sat
| sfactory encouraging. Brazil Is not
making the progress that Is shown in Ar
gentina and the countries south of her. All
| sorts of property interests are overwhelmed
with taxation. and there Is little progress
| in any direction. There was an overpro-
| duction of sugar last year throughout the
III,
| the sugar plantations. Argentina is begin
| ming to drive the United States out of the
| -four trade of Brazil by being able to under
sell and show better freight rates. Argen-
| tina is developing into one of the greatest
wheat growing countries of the world. and
| -four mills are springing up in all directions
They manufacture a splendid grade OF Hour
Their principal advantage over the hour pro
duced In this country Is that their freight
| rates to Brazil are much cheaper than
this country can quote.
Has Hopes for Harp.
Representative Pearre Is continuing his
! fight for a good place for Reno s. Harp
| Of Frederick county, and is more hopeful
now than at any other time that he VIII
| land his man either for naval officer or
| suhtreasurer at Baltimore Mr.. Pearre saw
| the President today. accompanied by b. II.
| arner Of this city. Mr.. Warner said that
the best element of the party In that dis
| trict was united for Harp and wanted him
to have the position he was being pushed
for.
Secretary Bonaparte is understood to have
talked over the Maryland appointments
with the President today, and 1t Is probable
that there will be an announcement about
them in day or so.
Postmaster Baker Retires.

KY, has withdrawn from the race for an
