stock in the vicinity, urging that the
company was more or less co-opera-

would be given less preference over
all others in the matter of employment
and advancement. We planted quite

FROM HOOF
TO CAN

Washington, d. c., June 4.-The gov
ernmental investigation into packing
house conditions is still in progress.
This fact became known through the
special message of the President trans
mitting to congress today the report
of special investigators Neill and Rey-
nolds.
The allegations that dyes and chem
icals are being improperly used had
been made upon authority which the
president deems Seemingly good" but
it is now understood that he insists
upon learning the true situation with
view of having legislation enacted
to meet the abuses. His message re-
cognized the importance OF the govern
ment to act in the correction of this
evil.
"a law is needed" he explained,
that will enable the inspectors OF the
general government to inspect and
supervise from the hoof to the can the
preparation of the meat food product.
lFhe evil seems to be much less in the
sale of the dressed carcasses than in
the sale of canned and other prepared
products"
SHOCKING CONDITIONS.
Shocking as have been the condi-
tions portrayed in the report sent to
congress it is privately learned that
a fuller detailed report now in prep
aration, will corroborate many charges
which at this time it is deemed in-
advisable to make public because pub
licity has already corrected the abuses.
This report is of a preliminary ma
ture," announced the president, and
he further declared that "the condt-
tions shown by even this short IN
spection to exist in the Chicago stock
yards are revolving"
The president comes out fiat footed
ly against the proposition to have the
government pay the cost of inspection
which the house amendment to the
Beveridge bill provides.
'In my judgment" he declares in
his message, "any expense Of inspec-
tion to be paid by fee levied on each
animal slaughtered, If this is the pur-
pose of the law, can at any time be
defeated through an insufficient APP
preparation, and whenever there was
no particular interest in the subject 1t
would be not only easy but natural
thus to make the appropriation in-
sufficient Ii it were not for this con-
dition should favor the government
paying for it,
| The senate had adjourned today out
of respect to the late Senator German
before the message had reached 1t.
The reading of the message in the
house was followed with interest.

SCHLEY'S NAME
Prominently Mentioned to. Succeed the
Late Senator German of
Maryland.

Washington, d. c., June 4.-Pollti-
cal and naval circles in Washington
think that one of the strongest can
ddates for the vacancy in the sem
ate created by Senator Germans death
will be Rear Admiral Winfield S.
Schley, the hero of Santiago. Rear
Admiral Schley is staunch Democrat,
a native of Maryland, and was spoken
of as a candidate for the presidency
after the Spanish American war.
Governor Warfield, of Maryland,
under his constitutional option may
appoint a successor to Senator Cor
man until the next regular session of
the Maryland legislature, which con-
venes in January, 1908, selects a sena-
tor. 1t is understood that Governor
Warfield himself has senatorial aspir-
ations which would be favored in
1908 by his appointment in the mean
time of a notable Democrat who
would fill the Office with honor and at
the same time not develop such mark
ed political popularity as would jeop-
ardize Governor Warfield's own
chances with the legislature at its
next meeting. The German term ex-
pires March 4, 1909.

"STAND PAT"
TARIFF SPEECH

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 4.-Hon Les
lie M. Shaw, secretary of the treas
ury, delivered a ringing stand pat
tariff speech today before the South
Dakota Republican state convention.
He expressed the belief that the next
Republican National convention would
declare for revision, and intimated
that in that case the work would be
begun at an extraordinary session I'M
mediately after Inauguration. He
spoke in part as follows:
Il have no, desire to disguise the
fact that in a few localities there is
now some restlessness on the tariff
question. The American people are
like every other people, they grow
restless under prosperity and desperate
under adversely. A friend said in my
Office the other day that we we're sure
of victory this year and two years
from now if prosperity continued for,
said he, the American people have new
er gone back on prosperity. How
short was his memory. Our first and
greatest defeat was traceable solely to
the universal prosperity existing IN
the early nineties
Whether we are sufficiently pros
porous now to work our undoing
am not certain. We were never so
prosperous before and my hope is high
that we can stand a few more years OF
hn
price of farm products shall advance
yet higher, if wages shall advance
correspondingly if the new factories
are built, if business thrives, If depos-
rich, then so certain as history re-
peats itself the impression will prevail
that the inequalities of life are oc-
casioned by Republican policies and
the American people will again seek
to bring all to the same standard by
the Endorsement of the principles Of
our political opponents.
ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS.
''The Democratic leaders propose to
wage the forthcoming congressional
campaign upon the issues presented Dy
the Republican revisionists and they
are certain to quote the utterances of
every leading Republican who mas
urged revision.
Il wish to emphasize the fact, how
ever, that the party, as an organiza-
tion is standing pat, and that the par
ty, as an organization will revise the
tariff at the appropriate time. Inc
stand patter of today will be the re-
visionist when revision is had.
1T does not lie within me to say
when the task of revision shall be un-
dertaken. If | were to say that in
my judgment it should be done imme-
diately following the next inaugura-
ton and then if it should not be done
would at least embarrass myself and
to the extent of my influence / would
embarass my party. The next nation
al convention would very likely con-
slider the subject and if it shall declare
in favor of revision at an extraordln-
ary session Immediately following the
Inauguration, no loyal Republican
would take issue. Loyal Republicans
seldom take issue with their party"

AT THE BALL GAME.
Major Fisher was at the ball game
and could not be reached until p. M,
when General Sparks, commander of
the Second brigade at Columbus,
reached him by telephone. He was in
structed to procure car and rations
for the rs companies of the brigade.
He was instructed to be ready at p.
m. BY this time all preliminaries were
arranged, the car loaded and ready
No fresh meat was taken because OF
lack of the facilities to keep
it. Major Fisher arranged to Sc
cure the meat in Canton to be shipped
at the prices paid by the government.
The troops will be at the scene OF
the strike at least four days. Many
of the soldiers complain of being forced
to do strike duty. Prior to the Span
ish war the Ohio militia had been on
duty seventeen days during the coal
strike at Bellaire and many laborlng
men, particularly union sympathizers,
were bitter against the troops. The
Spanish war has overcome this prem
dice and now the feeling bids fair to
be revived again. The. feeling among
the soldiers is in that the state should
provide a constabulatory to do duty
during coal strikes.
Those of the company who did not

FEAR OF ENEMIES.
What was an apparent mix-up of
orders was in fact but part of a well
defined plan to mislead the puDlic.
1t is thought that this was done owing
road runs through coal mining dis
trict where no love is shown for the
militia and the authorities did not de-
sire to take chances of the train being
interfered with. If the plan was to
mystify, it was bowling success tor
no one apparently, officer or men could
fathom where and how they were go
ing to the seat of trouble.
SPECIAL ARRIVES.
About eight o'clock a special of four
cars and engine from Pittsburg arrived
in Canton. The conductor mad orders
to pick up the Alliance and Canton
companies, but at both points the
troops had left for Massillon prior to
the arrival of the train. Two of the
cars we're left at Canton and two were
taken on to get the troops at Massil-
Ion and bring them back to Canton
About eight o'clock the Pennsylvania
company ran a train of empty coaches
on the side track next to their yards
at the station awaiting the arrival or
the troops from the west over their
lines.
