 The company Is the result of the me- gotiations which have been under way for several months looking toward the formation of Mllk trust. The capital for the formation is said to have come largely from abroad, principally from London, and the remainder was sub scribed in New York. It Is intended to introduce an entirely new system of sup> plying milk to New York and Brooklyn and nearby places. Arrangements have been completed whereby farmers who have been supplying isolated creamer- les will ship direct to the trust. Some of the ereameries in this state and through the milk producing belt in New York state will be turned into depots for the trust. The milk of small farms will be delivered to these dcpots and forwarded. In other places. where the producers are in business on a sufn- ciently large scale, the milk will be shipped direct from the farm to the de-
  thence distributed to the customers in New York,

 Advices received here from Paris show France Is awaiting Great Britain's ac- ton. If Great Britain follows the lead of Russia and Germany and occupies a seaport, France will forthwith do the same.
 It has been recently noticed in con- nection with the naval forces of vari- ous countries in the Pacific that Japan is second only to England in naval &C., tivity, being ahead of Fracce, much in advance of Germany ana vastly in the lead of Russia and the United States. Moreover her ships are all of the best and highest types of naval architect ure. The following ships are under construction for the Japanese: Three l4,8O0 ton battleships, which are we'll advanced. at Armstrong's. Thompson's and the Thames Iron works respective ly; one battleship of about 1000 tons. commencing at ArmstroEg's: four first class armored cruisers of $500 tons displacement and 20 knots speed, two at Armstrong's, one at the Vulcan works at Stettin and one at the Forges ct Chantiers.

That the Montana men have secured a high class race horse is undeniable. for the son of Hanover and Lady Reel proved him. self to be one of the greatest 2-year- olds in the world. The colt has the per- feet action which Is so essential for horse that must run fast and far. He mas proved conclusively that he Is a phenomenon to carry weight. Whether he can stay the Derby and Realization distances will be unanswered until he goes to the post next spring. The long winter is before him yet. and many things may happen between now and the racing season in this vicinity.

 Her Neighbor Across the Channel.
 London. Dec. 22.-A dispatch from Yokohama says:
 Russia has notified Japan of the tenn porary occupation of Port Arthur, and a large Japanese squadron has left Ma gasaki.
 Sir Halliday Mccartney, the English secretary of the Chinese embassy, was asked if Russia's possession of Port Arthur would be temporary. He re- piled that thAs plea was usually made pretext for occupation.
 An unconfirmed report is current here that part of the British far eastern squadron will be stationed at Wei Hal Wei this winter. If true, this indicates that Great Britain Is working with Ja- pan. The latter still occupies Wei Hai Wei, pending payment of the Chinese war indemnity.
 The newspapers are much disturbed over the situation. What do we get?" Is the burden of their complaint. and they all insist on the necessity for i'm mediate action. The Globe says. Rus

 The Pail Mall Gazette echoes The Standards inquiry as to Americas at- titude and remarks: "Of course the par tition of the coast, which Is bound to come, will not be confined to Russia and Germany. Every naval state in the world is actively concerned in the dis turbance of the equilibrium in the far east. Great Britain. France and Japan especially. But the United States can not be treated as a quantity to be ig- nored. Tame acquiescence with these seizures Is not worthy of our past and is fatal to our future.

Story Window. Receiving Injuries Which
 Caused Death
 Washington, Dec. 22.-The tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of former Secretary of the Navy Hilary Herbert of Alabama, caused a profound shock to Washington society, in which the young lady had for a number of years been prominently connected.
 The coroner decided that no inquest was necessary, the facts in the case being clear. At police headquarters the death was reported as a case of suicide. due to melancholia and temporary ab- erration of the mind, as the result of breeding over long illness.
 Miss Herbert's death Is traceable in- directly to an accident while horseback riding in Virginia last September She always had been enthusiastically fond of riding. and during a visit to Vir- ginia she started out one day on horse that had not been we'll broken. It stum- bled. and she was thrown violently to the ground, sustaining severe injuries to her back. She was brought back to Washington, but recovery was exceed ingly slow, and it was not until last Sunday that she was able to go out of the house.
 It had been Miss Herbert's custom for several years to take her breakfast In her room and later prepare for the so- cial obligations of the day. Shortly after 10 o'clock she dressed to go down
