Support pleased to bills providing for Governmental supervision and control' of trusts. OGDEN. Utah, Sept 1L The Republican State Convention today nominated Joseph Howell, of Wellsville, Cache County, for Congress; Judge W. M. McCarthy, of Se vier County, for Supreme Court Justice, and adopted a platform in -which mention of Cuban reciprocity was omitted. On this point the beet-sugar interests of the state won out after a somewhat bitter and protracted debate in the committee on resolutions. Friends of Representative Sutherland, who ' was one of the Repub lican "Insurgents" on the reciprocity ques tion in the last session of Congress, wero determined that specific Indorsement of the President's Cuban policy should have no place in the platform, and this "policy prevailed. In this they were aided by the church people, who insisted that a com promise platform be adopted cordially in dorsing President Roosevelt's Admlnlstra-: tion, but leaving out direct reference to the proposed 20 per cent reduction. So strong was the feeling over this feat ure that, had the original programme as regards the order of business been carried out, it is probable that ah unpleasant In cident would have occurred. United States Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, was sched uled to deliver a speech this evening, marking the formal opening ot, the Re publican campaign in Utah. This pro gramme was changed last night to have Senator Beveridge speak at the close of the morning session today. When the boct-sugar sympathizers heard of this they openly threatened to give him a hostile reception, believing it a plan to influence the convention in favor of a Cuban reci procity, plank, ' the result heing that the programme was changed. Senator Bever idge speaking this evening. Then, with the platform adopted, the delegates more than made up for their, refusal to hear him n the morning by greeting him with wild cheering. An amendment to the platform, offered by Representative Sutherland, declaring it to be the seme of the convention that "President Roosevelt be nominated .for President in -fcof ai hTa .own ' successor" was carried with a whoop, the delegates standing In their seats and cheering for spme time. The platform, as adopted, deplores the death of President McKlnley; recognizes in Theodore Roosevelt his worthy succes sor and expresses, unqualified approval of his Administration. It Indorses the Re publican National platform of JD00, favors the protective tariff as It riow exists, rec ognizes the right of labor to organize for its own protection, and favors a National board cf arbitration to decide controver sies between capital and labor. It favors the passage of laws providing for Govern mental suprrvislon and control of trusts. It condemns "unjust and oppressive ag gregations of capital," but- also condemns the "Democratic policy of destruction" as regards corporations. Democratic assaults on the Army and Navy are?- condemned as being purely partisan, and productive of rebellion and bloodshed. The Government is' congratulated on the final step? toward building an Inter-occanlc canal. Stringent immigration laws are demanded. Senator Kearns efforts to open the Uintah reser vation and In behalf of irrigation laws are heartily cpmmended. TEXAS REPUBLICANS AD.TOUUX.

Professor Honsjh Says Tfcer Are Sn , perlpr In Intelligence, CHICAGO, Sept. 1L That a people su perior in Intelligence to those of earth inhabit the planet Mars is a conclusion that will be set forth by Professor G. W. Hough, head of the department of as tronomy of the Northwestern University, in a report he is. compiling of his Sum mer's observations from the Dearborn observatory. He makes this assertion as. a probability based en recent discoveries, and adds that of course it can never be established positively. The conclusion in cludes the acceptance of the theory of evolution, and the statements of leading astronomers that climatic con ditions of Mars are the same as of the earth. The possibility of "Venus ORDERED TO THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA TO PROTECT and Mercury being inhabited is admitted, because they are solidified and the in tense heat radiating from their prox imity to the sun may have been overcome by a deeper covering of atmosphere.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 1L (Special.)

He will not permit it to come before the convention, although, admitting that If such a resolution were brought before the convention it would undoubtedly be adopted.

They believo that if indorsement should be omitted THE BATTLE-SHIP WISCONSIN. through the influence of financial Interests Incensed at t the President's attitude towards the trusts the omission would react to his benefit, yet they do not like to see It, for fear It would be regarded In the nature of ' a turn-down and be made use of by other aspirants to the Presi dency.

Republican, in Ken tucky; Clark, Democrat, will succeed Jones, Democrat, from Arkansas; Latimer, Democrat, will succeed McLaurln, Demo crat, In South Carolina; Vest, of Missouri, has declined another term, and probably will be succecdrd by some other Demo crat, and Gorman, Democrat, from Mary land, has been elected to succeed Weh llngton, calling himself a Republican.

Republican, of Nevada. VM be succeeded by Democrats.

If He TnlliM on His Tonr, He I Likely to Sny TliiiiffH Xot Best .for Army. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 1L More Interest in the movements of General Mlletv than hns been expressed is felt in Adminiptration circles. There was an Impression that the General would bo brought to the front at I the encampment of the Grand Army In this city for the purpose of bringing h.lm forward as a Presidential candidate, and the fact that he will not be in the city Is received Kitb some gratification by those who are worrying over Prcaldcnt Roose vclt'a future. Ort the other hand, officials of the War Department, from what has occurred heretofore, are of the opinion that General Miles may make such repre sentations concerning conditions Jn the Philippines as will be Inimical to the policy pf the. War Department. It Is not ex pected that theVjeneral will do more than tp give his personal views of what he ob serves in the Islands, and even theos will no doubt be confined to military matters. At the same time, should he criticise the management of affairs In the Phjllpplnes, It would no doubt be used by the anti-imperialists and the Democrats as campaign material against the Republicans).

It is the duty of the South and the South alone to pro vide for Confederate soldiers who may need assistance. To permit others to aa that duty would, in our judgment, be both unbecoming and wrons to the .South ern people. " "But lettt be well understood that we are grateful just In the same way that a man Is grateful to a neighbor who or fsrs financial assistance when the angel of death , visits his home In both cases we must politely but firmly decline iq aoccpt the offer.

(Continued from First.Pa&e.) and natlnfactory to most of the people, would have better suited some of the pol iticians with modifications. They think it would have been better from a political standpoint to defer the declaration of Washington's Intense loyalty until later, when there might have been a possibility of the President needing It more than he does now. and perhaps passing over some thing In the way of patronage for it This, of course. Is a mercenary thought. but it is on record that mercenary men have cccasionallydrlftcd Into Washington politics. Illsh-Grarie Oratory. .

Thompson has a pleasing voice, easy delivery and a com mand of language which enables him to weave Into his arguments sentiments of rare beauty. Mr. Plies. Is Jess poetical, but also has a very entertaining manner, and the men who were opposing them the hardest'llstene'd with pleasure to their oratory. Mr. Preston, who closed the discussion, although a very bright man, does not shine as an orator, ind he provoked con siderable merriment by complimenting Piles and Thompson, and adding: "You see, the railroad company knows where to find good men to make their speeches.

OUR FREE MEAT TRUST NOW CERTAIN SEPTEMBER. 27 THE DATE IT WILL BEQIN 6fEUXTI'6x.' Combine Is to Be Capitalised nt Twenty-five Times the Earn ings Tulccn In. CHICAGO. " Sept. 11. The Record-Herald tomorrow will say: The long-expected merger of the great meat packing interests of the United States will go nto active and open opera tion Saturday, September IT, unless there should be an entirely unlooked for change in the plans agreed upon by all those .con cerned in the deal at a. meeting held here yesterday. An industrial. combination sec ond only to the steel trust In point of magnitude and importance is therefore practically an accomplished fact. According to a Boston authority who has possesed the mo3l inside information about the deal ever since its existence was first rumored, the combine is to be capitalized at the rate of 25 times- the last year's earnings of the constituent companies: for example,, Cudahy & Co., are said to have earned about 182.000 in 1901, which would make their share of the capital stock of the merger $21,000,000. A four per cent dividend that the new con solidation may be expected to declare, would amount to $S4.C0O on this lot of stock approximately its legitimate earn ings. On the basis of capitalization, Ar mour & Co., whose last year's profits have been about $8,000,000, will receive 5200,000,000 of the securities In exchange for their business. Swift & Co.. will re ceive ?5O,000.00O and the Schwarzchlld & Sulzberger Co., 526,000,000. It 1b said that it is the undoubted de termination of the consolidated meat In terests to control all of the packing houses and stockyards of the country and save every possible dollar In the cost of manufacturing and distribution. In ad dition to this, all by-producjts will be ab solutely controlled and efforts made to buy up Industries that are closely allied to the meat business. Court's Jlulinef Mennn Dearer Gas.
