WHATSECIETARYWILSNSAYS OlMtrvativna of His Trip in the W Thinks the Price of Mf Will Qm Otwn Abundance of Grass in the Csuntry. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Secretary Wilson, who bas returned from a trip1 throogb the west, summarised tn6 agricultural condition in the states be' visited. These states included Ne-1 braska, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He said there was a great abundance of crops generally in that regjoa. t "There will be a good oora crop,"i he said. "Corn now is substantially out of the way of the frost. "The corn crops in parts of Kansau Nebraska and Indiana are probably! the finest on record. There has been more hundreds of millions of dollars depending on the ripening of this cropj this year than the ordinary person has ever realized. "While the crop is a little late, any danger of its failure can now be con sidered over. The crop is a good one. While it may not be a record-breaker, the quality of the corn is saleadid and with the exception of the southern states the yield per acre is very heavy. In the south the drouth has somewhat affected the corn crop. "The wheat crop of the west this' year is also very fine and what ma be considered as really the most im portant crop of all the grass crop is exceedingly good. "The census tells us there has been' a great Increase during the last ten years in the number of cattle in the United States. This information; taken together with the fine crop of grass, insures lower prices of meat. I don't believe the price of meat, how ever, will ever be as low as it has been in the past for the simple reason that the American people are more prosperous than ever before and are eating more meat than ever before. "However, the exceedingly high prices of meat will be a thing cf the past as soon as the present feeders get fattened up to a beef condition. Another thing that will tend to keep the price of meat a little above the former lower price is the demand of England for our meats." . DENIAL BY YOUNG ROOSEVELT.

It develop ed that the bank was run in the loos est sort of a way, no check or re straint being placed on Chamberlain's actions. In fact nobody but Chamber lain himself knew anything about the bank's affairs.

WILL RIVAL THE STEEL TIUST Plans Will Ge Into Operatien in Abeuf Twe Weeks How Capital Stack Is Divided Armour & Ce. Will Have Large Interest. CHICAGO, Sept 13. The Record' Herald today will say: The loag ex pected merger of the great meat pack ing innterests of the United State will go into active operation Satur day, September 27th. unless there should be uniooked for change in the plans agreed upon by those concerned in the deal, at a meeting held here yesterday. An industrial combination second only to the steel trust i there fore practically an accomplished fact. Reports concerning the actual terms of the consolidation differ. The most reliable light shed upon the subject was the plan outlined by a Boston authority who has possessed the most Inside information about the deal ever since its existence was rumored in the early part of last spring. According to this expert the net concern is to be capitalized at the rate of twenty-five times the last year's earnings of the constituent companies. For example, the Cudahy acking company is said to have earned about 1821.000 in 1901, which would make its share of the capital stock of the merger 121.000,000. A 4 per cent dividend that tha new consolida tion might be expectedv to declare would amount to 1840,000 on this lot of stcck approximately its legitimate earnings. On this basis of capitalization Ar mour ft Co., whose last year's profits are supposed to have been about 8,- 000,000, will receive $200,000,000 in the security in change for their bus! ness. Swift ft Co. will receive $50,- 900,000, their net earnings for the last fear probably not amounting to over $2,000,000, owing to the fact that this company does not own its subsidiary organizations, such as selling agencies. Carrying out this method to the end the Schwarzchild ft Sulzberger com pany would receive $26,000,000. It is said that it is .the undoubted determination to control all the pack ing houses and stock yards in the country and to save every possible dollar im the cost of manufacturing and distribution. In. addition to all this, by-products will be absolutely controlled and efforts made to buy up Industries that are closely allied to the meat business. MARCONI SOLVES PROBLEM.

Chicago Professor says They Are Su perior in Intelligence. CHICAGO Sept. 12. That a people superior in intelligence to those of the earth Inhabit the planet of Mars is a conclusion that will be set forth by Prof. G. W. Hough, head of the de partment of astronomy of the North western university, in a report which he is compiling of his summer's obser-. vations from the Dearborn observa tory. He asserts this is a probability based on recent discoveries and adds that, of course, it can never bes es tablished positively. The conclusion includes the accep tance of the theory of evolution and the statements of leading astronomers that climatic conditions of Mars arr the same as of the earth. The possi bility of Mercury and Venus being in- habited is admitted, because they have solidified, and the intense heat resulting from their proximity to the sun may have been overcome by a deeper covering of atmosphere. None of the other planets, the professor said, could contain animal life. SULTAN HARD UP FOR. MONEY. Fails to Come in and Debts of the Gov ernment Are Unpaid. CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 12.
