LONG WANTS THE FACTS
OFFICERS OF CHICAGO HAVE NOT
REPORTED VEJflCE TROUBLE.
King: Victor Emanuel, It I State,
Will Pardon tlie Offenders Cap
tain Wynne's Military Record.
WASHINGTON, April 29. Secretary
Long has cabled directly to Captain Day
ton, of the Chicago, at Venice, for a
statement of the facts connected with
the arrest of some of the officers of that
ship at Venice. So far there has been no
official report on the subject to either
the State or the Navy Department, a
fact which causes the officials here tp
express surprise, as they feel that the
matter is of sufficient gravity to warrant
an active exhibition of Interest. The
statements so far made through the press
dispatches are not sufficiently precise to
enable the officers here to form a judg
ment as to the amount of turpitude In
volved in the officers' conduct, and they
are disposed to await official advices be
fore expressing an opinion. It Is fully
expected that as a matter of comity. If
for no other reason, the Italian authori
ties will turn the prisoners over to Cap
tain Dayton upon his promise that they
shall be dealt with according to the
United States Naval regulations, for an
enforcement of the sentences of confine
ment In jail would create a very disagree
able impression. .

party of potash owners has been waiting
to offer them properties. Even members
of the closely-knit German potash syndi
cate are making propositions to the Amer
icans. The mere announcement that the
American potash trust was Invading Ger
many caused the potash owners keen sen
stations. Some of them are hoping for
an enormously profitable sale, while oth

address delivered at a meeting of the

son to apprehend that the shipping com
bine would prove disadvantageous to
trade.
"The public has no right to complain
at an attempt to make the long, disas
trous Atlantic traffic remunerative," said
the speaker. "The combine might help
rather than injure British interests If It
tended to improve the uncertain returns
on the capital Invested In shipping."

ingly rail at the government.

ber and a large manufacturer, declared
the Austrian tariff must he prohibitive,
unless the empire is willing to be devoured
by the United States, whose "McKInley"
and "DIngley" policies have been followed
by an Imperialism which has enabled her
to oppress the rest of the world. The
question is, said Herr Kollscher, whether
Ausjtria should determine and control her
own National policy or disappear as a
nation and become a sort of Americas
satrapy.

day the specific status of the proposed
action of the Government against the
big packers will be laid before Attorney
General Knox at Washington. While the
actual drafting of the bill for the tempo
rary Injunction ha3 not yet begun, the
allegations which this bill will contain
have been practically determined upon by
District Attorney Bethea, acting with
Special Government Counsel Day. It
is now known that the bill In its

BILLION-DOLLAR BEEF TRUST.
Great Combination of Chicago Pack
ers Said to Be Under Way.
CHICAGO, April 29. !'A $1,000,000,000
packing trust is among the possibilities
if the United States Government should
succeed In maintaining Its contemplated
Injunction proceedings," says the Tribune.
"The prediction is made in La Salle-street
financial circles that large packers who
may be made defendants In the Federal
Court will be forced formally to combine
If the prosecution against them under the
Sherman anti-trust law is successful. The
combination would be along the lines fol
lowed by the United States Steel Corpora
tion, and wouid be made to comprise
practically all the beefpacking companies.
In the country.
"In the formation of such a combination
all tho powers now denied the packers,
with one exception, could be legally con
solidated. The single exception. In the
opinion of corporation lawyers, would be
the adoption of an arbitrary and unrea
sonable schedule of prices. Many at
tempts have been made to form such a
corporation, but all have been unsuccess
ful. During the lifetime of P. D. Armour
the question of the promotion of a huge
packing company, to include all the Chi
cago firms, was discussed, but Mr. Ar
mour stood firm against all such propos
als. It Is estimated that at one time the
project went so far as to be considered by
tho heads of all tho large Chicago firms,
but the question of the allotment of cap
ital stock Is understood to have been the
rock on which the plan went to pieces."
Representatives of Armour & Co., Swift
& Co., and the other large packers at the
stockyards today denied that there was
the least foundation for the report that
adverse action of the Government might
result in the packers forming a $1,000,000,000
trust.
Five hundred employes of the packing
firm of LIbby, McNeill & Libby have been
released, owing to the "dull times." Su
perintendent Morrow said that the pro
posed Government Investigation of the
packing business had nothing to do with
the letting out of the employes, and that
the plant would by no means be closed.
"It is not unusual for the meat business
to grow comparatively dull at this sea
son," he said.

CURED MEATS GO UP.
Advance Is 1-2 Cent a Pound Lard
Alio Takes Upward Jnmp.
All kinds of cured meats have advanced
cent a pound. Lard Is cent a pound
higher. These new prices are announced
In the local market to meet the higher
level of prices In the East. In the past
month cured meats have all advanced
about 1 cent m the East.
Small receipts and higher cost of- hogs
are the causes of the advance. Receipts
are between 25 and 33 per cent less than
they were last year at this time. Stocks
are not laid by as is commonly done at
this season, to meet large Summer and
Autumn consumption, and the result Is
short accumulation. A premium is paid
for heavy hogs, and large hams now
cost more per pound than do small. Usu
ally large hogs are a little cheaper than
small.
