THE PACKING COMBINATTON.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SCHEME EX-
PECTED THIS MONTH
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuSE.I

IBY TELEGRAPH The TRIBUSE.l
Chicago, Aug. 2.-The announcement of the
packing combination will probably be made the
present month. The leaders have decided that
the combination has gone so far that it is use
less to dissemble further.
The gauntlet has been thrown down by the
packers to the Kansas City Stock Yards Com
pany. The combination has plants there val
ued at S3000000 1t has secured option on
a big plot of land opposite Kansas City, the
Kansas side of the river. The Tolleston bluff
is TO be worked again, and unless the owners
of the Kansas City yards will sell to the COM
binatior cheap, the packers will remove their
plants the river. AS a result of the belief
that they will carry out this threat, the stock
of the stock yards company has declined from
$40 to 800 share.
The combination also has designs on the
Chicago Stock Yards but it has it's own estimate
of the value of the yards. Before it will pay
I-Igh price for control the big combination will
distribute its business at the six stock yards
that it now owns and so divert business from
Chicago
The Union Stock Yards pays s per cert and
yardage, switch charges. etc. all tempt the
packers for big money They may demand
bonus, they did, when S3,O00OOO was
given up rather than to allow Armour and Nor
rs to go to Tolleston. Or they might require
the stock yards company to put up large
amount of money for stock in the packing COM
bination.
The cOmbiuation-Aarmour, Swift and Morris
now controls the st. Paul. st. Joseph, East ST.
Louis Sioux City and Fort Worth stock yards.

MISS HOYSRADT KILLED.
TWENTY-FIVE PEOPLE INJURED IN coll
LISION ON ALBANY AND HUDSON
ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

Hudson, n. Y, Aug. 2.-Marjorie Hoysradt
twenty years old, niece of the late General JACOB
W. Hoysradt, of this city, was killed and ABOUT
twenty-five others injured this evening IN
a rear end collision, at Rossman's, on the Al
bany and Hudson Electric Railway. This is a
track third rail line.
Thousands of people took advantage OF the
fine weather for & days outing at Electric Park,
twenty miles north of Hudson. A church ex-
members going by way of the many routes from
this city. One of the many attractions was an
open air theatrical performance in the afternoon
and evening, which draws hundreds, and causes
the cars to run with speed and limited headWay.
After one car had passed Rossmans station at
6 o'clock bound toward Hudson the shoe which
obtains power from the third rail got out OF
order causing the car to stop. Whether or not
there was time to send back a warning is not
certain. At any rate, moment later another
car filed with Philmont and Hudson people
came on at full speed. and crashed into the car
ahead. Each car will seat sixty people, and
many were standing There was no time for any
one in either car to jump and in a moment all
was confusion, the passengers being thrown in
heaps.
Every effort was made by those who escaped
injury to aid the others in the wreck lele-
phone messages were sent to Hudson for every
doctor in the city to go to the scene, and they
responded promptly, a special car taking thein
out. Word was sent to the Hudson Hospltal 10

H TTJJTSTR ATFD SUPPLEMENT, 16 PAGI
RUSSIA TO FIGHT TRUSTS.
RETALIATION THREATENED IF POWERS
DECLINE PROPOSAL.

st. Petersburg Aug. 2.-It is serni-oficially
announced that the Russian Ministry Of Finance
expects reply in the negative from the powers
to the note regarding international action
against trusts. When such replies received
the Russian Government will once more affirm
that any increase in duties Russian sugar
will be regarded as an infringement of existing
treaties. and if such increase is enforced the
Russian Government will consider itself free to
disregard it's treaty stpulations. The Ministry
of Finance does not propose to take measures
against the powers collectively, but special cir
cumstances in each case will be considered, with
a view to the adoption of the measure most ad
vantageous to Russia. 1t is known. however,
that Russia already intends to raise the duties
on wine and several classes of goods imported
by trusts chiefly by way of the western frontier.

BIG HORSE AsToNTsHEs CROWD
U-NAIDED 1T LEAPS FROM AN EXCAVATION
INTO WHICH IT HAD FALLEN
IN BROADWAY.

Billy. big gray horse. one Of a team that pulls
a heavy dray for A ]. Barrett. a bonded truck
man, of No SO Broadway. astonished a crowd by
its intelligence and athletic ability yesterday at
Park Row and Broadway by leaping from an ex-
cavaton in which 1t narrowly confined. More
than witness remarked that the animal could
have done better had ii been circus horse.
There Is an excavation at that point. where re-
pairs of the Metropolitan Street Railway tracks
are being made II. W Nette. the driver, was
going north in Park Row, the narrow passageway
making 1t necessary to driTe on the tracks. Be
tween the tracks and the excavation, as safe
guard, had been placed three heavy planks by the
workmen. When the front wheels of the heavy
truck touched the planks they were displaced the
wagon tottered and then lurched over into the
excavation, about fouI feet deep
had its hind quarters drawn down with the
wagon. For a moment two tho animal stood
almost erect on its hind teet. with its fore feet
resting on the pavement. The horse appeared to
be less frightened than many who had seen the
accident Soon finding its position uncomfortable.
the horse with difficulty placed first one MOOT and
then the other the bottom of the hole.
A score of hands hastened TO release the harness
and measures to rescue Billy were undertaken.
The animal as soon he realized that the OBJ
structions were removed. shook its head, snorted
as II to give warning to its rescuers. and then
with a mighty lean reached the pavement.

seas defenceless. 1t is foregone conclusion
that such squadron would dare to attack
the southern entrance to New-York and that 1t
would have a practically hopeless mission in
attempting to force its way past the forts
New-London. The first part of the programme
Of demonstration to the world is, therefore,
negative to the extent that 1t only shows that
in case of war the fighting battleships Of the
navy will not have to be drawn away from their
real work to defend the harbors the coast
but will be free seek the enemy the high
seas.
GREAT SHOW OF FORCE AT CULEBRA.
Infinitely more impressive is to be the great
gathering Of the North and South Atlantic and
European squadrons under the admiral and I'VE
rear admiras at Culebra next January when
more than a million dollars for extraordinary
expenses above the mere maintenance of the
service will be used. How the administration
regards that mobilization of three-ffths Of the
entire available force is shown by the following
order issued the other day to those charged
with preparing the ships for service including
the now ambulance and machine shop ships, the
auxiliary vessels and land parties:
Concerning the concentration Of our squadfons
in the West Indies next winter, the department
desires a hearty and vigorous cooperation on
the part of all bureaus and naval stations con-
cerned in order that this mobilization OF Inc
feet may be successfully accomplished

and has intrusted the command OF the fleet TO
the admiral OF the navy.
The Secretary feels that this movement Is a

engaged upon this service may be prepared Tor

The Secretary hopes that the result will he a

important evolution.
LESSONS OF THE MANGUvRES.
1t is too early to dwell on the details Of the
January manGuvres, but in addition to the les
son Europe is TO learn from the display, Con-
gress will see, at the moment when il is consid
ering the appropriation bills. that the navy is
giving a good account of itself, is making the
best possible show of the money that has been
economically expended for great ships. and that
its further growth on the same lines is not only
warranted but Indispensable. For ii will be
shown incontestabl that while to-day for it's
size, it is equal TO the navy OF any probable
enemy. its present rate of growth restricted by
legislation. is far less than that of Germany.
