CHICAGO, March lS.-Howard, White

day, give detailed statement OF the
packing operations in Chicago for the
twelve months ending March |. "The
exhibit is highly gratifying. The re-
turns show increased business both for
summer and winter months. The ag-

total number packed was 5,72l, ,9l0

months OF l,07l ,564. OF the whole
number there were packed during the
summer 2,97l, ,l27 and during the winter
2,7Sl ,O64 Although the supply has
been so liberal, there has been cores
ponding urgent demand for home con-
sumption and foreign exports. During
the twelve months the two leading
houses have packed the enormous num-
Der of 1916, ,469 hogs, an average OF
l9, 800 per month. Their aggregate bus
mess exceeds that OF every other
city in the West. Their opera.
tors exceed nearly one-seventh OF
those OF the entire West. The receipts
of live hogs during the year were 7,059,-
355, and shipments 1894, 800. There

Ex.Gov. CURTIN PREDICTS WAR.

EX-GOV. CURTIN PREDICTS WAR.
He Thinks the Cars Death Will Involve
the Powers in q Great Struggle.
Andrew Il. Curtin, ex-Minister to
Russia, in conversation with a newsps-
per reporter in New York, said:
81 have been very much surprised at
the accounts published in the newspa.
pers concerning the present Car OF
Russia. When | was at St. Petersburg
the feeling among the educated and in.
telligent people was one Of great fear
OF the time when the present Cxar
should succeed to power. He was not
considered to be a reiormer by those
best able to judge, and it was feared
that when he had the power he would
put on the hand OF despotic rule to
very great extent. In personal appear.
ance he was not at all like his
father, the late Car. He looked
more like a Tartar, had
rough hair and coarse features, and WAS
very much dreaded by the best people
in Russia. OF course, he may have
changed, because am speaking OF ten
years ago. But still the accounts in the
papers surprise me very much"
"What effect will the change have on
the prospects of peace in Europe
at will hasten a general war, in my
opinion. The present Empress, or was
when ! knew her, very bitter towards
Germany. 1t was said that she even
went so far as TO refuse to wear any
thing that was made there, because
OF the fact that the Emperor William
had taken by force two OF the
most important provinces in her
fathers kingdom. With this feeling, it
would not surprise me to see Russia the
ally of France in a conflict against Ger
many that would undoubtedly arise il
Greece and Turkey declare war. Rus
sia and Germany have been in symps.
thy with each other on the Eastern
Question. But now it will be but
natural for the former TO assist the King
OF Greece, because he is the brother OF
the Empress OF Russia. Greece has
been very actively engaged OF late in
warlike preparations, II war is declared
it is probable that France will immedi-
ately ally herself with Russia, as an en-
tering wedge iOr declaring war against
Germany. The French people are
eager for the renewal of the conflict.
They were never better prepared, and
at the very first opportunity they will
certainly strike for the repossesson OF
their much coveted provinces. Such is
my belief. Should it take place, ! think
it would be bad for America, because a
general European war could not be
otherwise. ] do not think the assassi-
nation will affect the relations between
Russia and this country, because ]
know the present Car was very friend.
ly to US. II will undoubtedly stop all
reforms in that country for some time TO
come"

The John Means Explodes and Sinks
Four Lives Lost.
MEMPHIS. March lS.-The towboat
John Means, OF the st. Louis and New
Orleans Transportation Company, en-
route TO st. Louis, exploded her boiler
last evening at 6 o'clock, just above
Osceola, Ark, about ninety miles up the
river, and sank out OF sight almost i'm
mediately. She carried crew OF twen'
ty.six men, four of whom-Seals, the
pilot, a deckhand named Morris, and
two firemen, Germans-are missing,
supposed to be drowned. Charles Pur-
cell, the pilot on watch at the time OF
the accident, was blown into the
river and had a leg broken;
Tom Canaon, deck hand, had
his skull fractured, VIM. r. Woodbridge,
second cook, was scalded on the neck
and legs, and Captain Mcclellan was also
slightly bruised Oh the head. When
the boat sank the five barges, loaded
with railroad iron and block tin, which
she was towing, iloated down the river,
Captain Mcclellan and the wounded
men were brought here this morning by
the Belle OF Memphis. The captain re-
turned to the scene OF the disaster with
a tug to secure the barges.
CAPTAIN Mcclellan returned TO the city
this evening. The barges iioated down
fifty miles and grounded on the bar at
Foglemaus Chute, where they will re.
main until a steamer goes TO their relief.
The City OF Helena will take the crew
TO st. Louis. Nothing later has
been heard Oi the four missing
men. Captain Mclelland, who was
asleep at the time of the disaster, was
blown into the river but rescued by
yawl.
Later investigations OF the disaster
only show gross neglect in the engineers
OF the i'll fated steamer. Her boilers
were in leaky condition ever since
passing Vicksburg Some repairs were
made on her last Wednesday, but the
boilers still leaked. Her tow was very
heavy, and at times it was almost I'M
possible for her tO stem the current.
Morris Fitzgerald, deCkhand, is miss
ing. It is impossible TO obtain the
names OF the tiremen. The last seen OF
John Scales, the pilot, he was standing
lust over tue boilers when they ex-
ploied.
