WILL STICKNEY AID?.
Believed That He is With the Stock
mon and Meat Producers in Their
Fiaht Against Meat Trust-TaIk Of
Big Packing House for oelwein.

Des Moines, March 2.-The fact
that A. B. Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western is about to espouse the
cause OF the stockrnen in their fight
against the railroads and the alleged
packers trust" became more evident
Yesterday, when delegation of twelve
business men from Oelwein appeared
before the convention Of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association of
Iowa, to bid for the independent pack
ing plant to be established in Iowa.
owing to rush of business, the
hearing of the proposition from the
Oelwein men was postponed until to-
day. At this mornings session re-
port will be received from the directors
who We're delegated to investigate the
cost of establishing an independent
packing plant.
The Oelwein business men last eve
ming refused to divulge just what
proposition they would make to the
associa ton. Neither did they discuss
the report that President Stickney was
behind them in their endeavors to Sc
cure the packing plant.
Oelwetn Is President Stickney's

of his railroad system there, and the

Japan Ready to Begin Hostilities in
Earnest on the Land.
Toxic, March Japan is ready to
assume the offensive on land, and to
follow up her successes on the sea by
vigorous campaign against the czars
forces in Korea and Mancanuria.
The Japanese government zealously
guards against any possible leakage of
Its plans, feeling that, possibly outnum-
bered by the Russians any knowledge
OF the Intended operations would be OF
inestimable advantage to the enemy.
But the departure of the general staff.
| which 1t was impossible to conceal,
leaves no doubt that orders have been
ISSUED to strike quickly and hard, in
the hope OF repeating on land the VIC
tories won by Vice Admiral Togo on the
sea.
| Nor Is the departure OF the STAFF for
Korea believed to be the only plan for
quick action which the war office has In
view. For several days nothing has been
heard OF the troops landed at Possiet
bay. seventy miles south of vladivostok,
and which were supposed to be march
Ing on Kirin, Manchuria, in the heart of

diers. But diplomats here believe
tho they have no official authoNza-
ton for such belief. that they intend
to attack viadivostok from the rear,
while the japanese fleet, known to have
been lowering in the vicinity OF that
Siberian stronghold for some time is
bombarding it from the sea. It Is
known at the war office that the gar
rtson at vladivostok expects such an
attack, as the government records have
been moved to Khabarovoka, 400 miles
Ito the north. and all foreigners have
been warned to leave the city.
That a huge land battle, possibly at
two or more points. may DE expected

West Africa, resulting In several fac
tories OF the Northwest Kamerur Com

who formerly was an employe of the
Northwest Kamerun Company, and
had been recently employed by the
government Herr Scnoeller. president
of the company, received in December
last long letter from Won Pueckler
regarding a stolen lantern, including
with the assertion he intended to make
the property OF white men respected
by burning five villages. Schoeller In
ferred from the violence of the LAM
guage Of Won Pueckler that the latter
was deranged and wrote both to the
count and to the agents of the COM
pany commanding that nothing be
done over so trivial a matter, saying
the company for the first time was
about to pay dividend and the good
will OF the natives must be cultivated.
Schoeilers letters arrived too late. Won
Pueckler, with twenty five men, tried
to arrest the head men Of one Of the
villages, but the count was killed and
his escort with difficulty escaped. Dur
