U..O > III UI-U LUC CUUClllttlOIl X Hill I the no-called Beef Trust Is a combination in restraint of trade, -within the weaning of the Sherman Anti-Trust law. and he litis accordingly directed ilie i'nited States District Attorney at Chicago to prepare a bill in equity for an injunction against it. This statement was given out by the AttorueyCenernl. after a linal consultation with President Itoosevelt on the subject: "On April I this Department directed W. A. Day. Esq.. ?>:' Washington, in bis capacity as Special Assistant to the Attorne.v-Cieneral. ?<> examine, as far an possible. th > pnblic charges to the effect that a x-ombinntion of large meat dealers of tin* I'nited States had been olTccted contrary to the provisions <>f j .lie laws of the I'nited States. Tills pi\Tnniiiary examination resulted in [ instructions to Mr. Day and Mr. \ Iiethea. United States Attorney at Chicago, on April 7. to prosecute sitnul- i tniieously in Chicago :tud the East a more particular examination into the allocations and proofs alleged to exist i in support thereof. From their reports 1 am satisfied that sufficient evidence is in hand upon which bills in equity for an injunction can l?e framed to restrain the combination mentioned from further proceeding under their agreements, which clearly appt ar to ho in restraint of interstate trade. I have, therefore, in compliance witlt the law. which provides: "It shall lie the duty of the several District Attorneys of the United Slates in their respective distriets, innlcr the direction of the AttorneytJeneral. to institute proceedings in equity to prevent and restrain' violations of this net. directed the District Attorney at Chicago to prepare a 1)111 for an injunction against the corporations and persons who are parties to the combination mentioned, to he tiled in the United States Circuit Court for the Northern District of Illinois." There* is an opinion among certain officers of tle> Covornment tlint the recent transactions of the meat dealers form a violation of the criminal statutes, hut the prosecution of a civil ' suit under the Sherman art is all that is contemplated at present. Suicide Cnusril by Meat Trimt. New York City.?Louis Iloleeelr, a butI'in'V, committed suicide by hanging himself because the hi.eh price of meat forced hint out of business.

The futy of the storm broke at o'clock p. in. There was no premonition of its terrible violence. There was an utter absence of the usual fmiuel- j shaped cloud, and the clouds looked no j more threatening than those which produce the ordinary thunder shower, j The wind was :i straight gale, but it was of terrible velocity," whipping down scores of houses in the soutti part of the eity and reducing to kindling wood $100,000 worth of the ilnest mining plants in this district. Lincoln, Noli.?A terrific wind reach- i itig ar times a velocity of sixty miles an hour prevailed at Liueoln throughout the afternoon and into the night. P.ut little damage was done. There was a slight fall of rain. All kinds of weather conditions prevailed in adjacent towns. In York County there was a drenching rain followed by a heavy snow. In Creelvy County hailstones fell of sufiieient size to strin trees and kill poultry and young stock. The benefit to wheat and farming in general will he untold. This puts the wheat in condition to stand many days without more rain and still be in good condition. Omaha, Neb.?An unusually heavy wind storm, wldcu struck this city killed one person and Injured a number of others, unroofed a number of buildings and broke many skylights.

They cugagcd in a series of running lights with the police and plant managers, and in one of the severest elashes exchanged a volley of pistol shots with tlieni. The railieals anions the strikers were In eoinmand, aiul hostilities eeaseil only when there were no more shops to win over to the cause for which they j were lighting. Many persons on either side were severely injured during the rioting, but none dangerously so. The disorder began early in tiie day, and was unexpected. A meeting of striker-, was hold at Itueger's ltiverside Hall, and liOtHi men gathered at the place. They demanded that helpers sh.mld get 'JO cents an hour; machine ineti, 22 cents; tinlshers, lit eeuts; leant- ; el's, lit) cents; the schedule to be in effect for the next live years. The old prices per hour were as follows: Helpers, UP;, cents; machine it.en, l^'i cents; t'.nishers, 22 cents; learuers, 141 j cents. While the meeting was in progress the radicals urged a raid upon the works still in operation, and wit a their suggestion was approved a rush was headed for the establishment of .lames j Slio.-w.... t 'CI : ? .

Robert tl.tede's works wore 1 visited next, and after that the Hamlord mill, where the first serious disorder oeeiirred. was surrounded. Windows were smashed, eheiuieals spille 1, and i Oi.siderahie damage done. The iuen at work in tin* plant quickly quitted their places. While one molt was closing the Haniford mill, another was surging into the plant of the American Silk 1 lyeing and Finishing t'ompav-y. Armed witii dye sticks and sjoues. they charged through the place, driving the men from their places. (Joorgo Arnold, o te of the members of the tirin, was dropped insensible with a blow on the head front a dye slick. Almost simultaneously an attack was begun on the works of Kniil (leering, and it was in the tight for possession | of it that the shooting oeeiirred. Two i policemen were guarding the property, ami when the mob came rushing down, they warned these in the van to keep a way. Some one in the crowd t.iseliarged a revolver, and the police quickly returned the lire. Half a dozen shots were tired, and one striker, who escaped unidentified, was shot in the leg. The mob stoned the policemen, and when one of the latter arrested one *of tin- leaders, closed in around hint. The otlieers swung their clubs and heat their way out of the crowd. One of the patrolmen finally secured a rille and when lie came out and faced the crowd Willi it, there was a general scattering. After loitering around for a time the strikers re-formed and marched t ? Knip.-cher ?V Maas's dye shop in the < 1 tin i.i ill yard, where seven policemen were on duty tinder Sergeant llnlstead. T> reach the yard the strikers would have t > cross a bridge near tlie dye shop, and the police, seeing thei:i coming. inarched up to the bridge and blocked the passage. The rioters breke tip into entail bands, and loitered arou id for some time. A rock was hurled fori one of those groups at Sergeant Halsted. It struck a telephone at which the Sergeant was Ktanding, and in falling it hit Arthur Neale, who was speaking to the Sergeant. Five strikers were arrested and arraigned before Recorder Senior, and all except one went to jail. John Hall was arrested for inciting his companions to riot at the Wcidtnann shop, lie went to jail for ten days. Antonio Jarat, a Freneh-t anadiaii, got ten days In default of the payment of a line of $10 for creating a disturbance. Louis Forauo and Ernest Foster went away for ten days for throwing stones at Weldniann's shop. < ieorold Mcstcliu threw a rock at Sergeant llaistead :iih1 got ten days. Judge Dixon called the Crand Jury before him and charged them to return as many indictments as possible against persons guilty of rioting. The conservative element of the strikers ; had, in the meantime, disavowed the violence of their fellows, and urged a return to peaceful means to gain the end (lint was sought. The strikers met again in Hunker Ilill < Hal! to receive tin? reports of committees appointed to visit owners of shops. Nearly all were to the effect that own- < ers would grant the increase if all would. Decisive answers were received from Knipsoher & Mans, Caede, < Kearns Brothers and the I'aterso i ; Dyeing Company, all of whom agreed unconditionally to grant (lie increase, i It was ther. asked whether the men i employed by these four concerns could go to work Immediately.
