Victoria was rammed and sunk by the
Camperdown with terrible loss of life was
narrowly averted. sa-s4r 4'.a II, a ~
The same cause which led to Sir
George Tyrone's disastrous mistake In
handling the Victoria is responsible for the
accident which happened to Sir Compton
Deville's flagship. During the recent COM
bined maneuvers in the Mediterranean the
Bulwark, Doville's flagship. collided with
the Formidable. The armor plates of the
Formidable were seriously damaged and
the cost of dry docking and repairing
the ship is stated to be $S50,000.
Directly after the collision a notice was
placed upon the lower deck by the COM
mander in chief Of the flagship and was
followed by a similar intimation on the
Formidable forbidding all on board to
communicate with anyone upon the sub
ject. Members of the crew were further
ordered not to allude to the collision in
their letters to England.
Both the Bulwark and Formidable are
the latest type of British battleship each

National Packing Company Gets IL
cense In Illinois.
Chicago April 10.-The National Pack
ing company, recently incorporated in
New Jersey, has acquired from Secre-
tary Of State Rose a license to- transact
business in Illinois. Its New Jersey cap
ital is $15, 1000, 900, while in Illinois it has
capital stock of $4,000,000.
The company secured its Illinois Ii
cense just before the ruling of the federal
court at St. Paul yesterday was known.
What the outcome will be now no lawyer
processes to be able to predict, but it is
assumed that the anti-merger decision
will have direct bearing on this prelim-
mary beef merger as well as on the
greater one in contemplation.
The National Packing company is to
assume charge Of and operate thruout
the country all the competitive plants
acquired by the packers. These are the
Omaha Packing company, the g. H. Ham

Washington April 10.-It is possible
that there will be reductions in the in

year. Commissioner Yerkes has sent out
a circular letter to collectors in all dis
tricts thruout the country calling on them
Pto submit estimates of help needed dur

July L. In this letter he asks collectors
to consult with revenue agents and con-
slider carefully the question Of help needed

up estimates on the basis Of the good
administration of public business" He
calls attention to the great reduction in
the appropriation for expenses of collect
ing revenue as compared with that for the

an emergency fund, known as the war

At large mass meeting held later in

Nearly everywhere the popuace sided
with the government and made the best

at Rotterdam was almost stopped. The
gas works were running short-handed but
sufficient gas was made to light the
streets. Householders largely used can
dies and oil.

military brigade to work the railways
