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.

and $300,000 worth of property was
destroyed.
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. There

that on the eruise of the North
Atlantic squadron a homicide was committed
February 'Jd on board the Indiana.
The chief master-at-arms,
James Douglass, had occasion to discipline
a Japanese wardroom steward,

Washington, J>. C.?Captain Charles
E. Clark has declined the appointment
of special naval representative
at the coronation of King Edward, and
the President lias named Hear - Admiral
Watson for that mission.
The declination of Captain Clark, it
is understood, was due to the fact that
the mission for which he was slated Involves
iH>rsomil outlay for entertainment
and exchange of courtesies of a
very formidable character, and entirely
beyond his private means.

still running, ami l>y force compelled
a complete suspension i 1' business iti .
their trade. Nearly :'?.">(?> men quitted
work. 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 : ?

tri ,tilde, dismissed tin* mm nnd closed
its doors. 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. Afier a long 1
discussion it was decided that no one k <
could go to work until all the owners '
had agreed to the schedule presented I <
by the men. - 1
