Chicago, April 6.-War against the

discovery Of documentary evidence that
exposes the secret operations of The

now in the possession of the interstate

put the market on a paying basis and
the blacklisting Of retailers who re-
fuse to patronize the members of the
trust. Although the trust managers
deny that there is combination among
the large firms and maintain that the
price of meat is regulated by the price
of livestock. the Cudahy correspondence
is supposed to be ammunition enough 20

is gained that there is complete CO.

force and the forces of Generals De-
larey and Kemp. resulting in repulse Of
the Beers after heavy losses on both
sides. The Canadian Rifles especially
distinguished themselves, one party,
commanded by Lieut.. Bruce Carruth-
ers, holding it's post until every man
WAS killed or wounded.

from Pretoria. says:
Gen. Kitchener (I4ord Kitchener's

The British losses also We're severe.
The Canadian Rifles especially dis

showed great steadiness, allowing the
Beers to advance within 200 yards of
them and repelling them with steady
rifle fire"
