LOOK FOR WAR WITH ENGLAND.
Russian Officers Preparing for an At.
tack on India.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-The impress
sion is growing here in military circles
that the probabilities favor a collision
between Russia and Great Britain be-
fore the war with Japan ends. / am
Informed on good authority that this
view is held both by the officials of the
general staff of the army and In the
admiralty. In fact, the feeling that
trouble is to come from Great Britain
is so strong in high army circles that
preparations already have been begun
for the concentration of troops along
the Afghan, Persian and Indian from
tiers with a view TO being able to art
ptonp ~ in the event that Great Brit
ain undertakes to Interfere in any way
on behalf of Japan. For many wears the
skeenest minds of the Russian military
establishment have realized it was sim
ply question of time when a clash
should come between Russia and Great
Britain for supremacy in central and
southern Asia and the Russian var
Office has elaborate plans for the in
yasion of Great Britain's indian pos
sessions. This is well known in Lon
don and military preparations along the
lines where an attack on India would
be possible are under way.

A FAMILY QUARREL ON
Swift and Morris, Members of the Beet
Trust Said to Have Joined Hands
s7Gt Ao,i.,e+ a rn,o,r.


Chicago, Nov 24.-There is mystic
rious friction among members Of the
Beef trust. II Is asserted that a COM
bine has been formed to fight the Ar
mour interests.
The Armour interest Is alleged to be
dictatorial and has created jealousy be-
cause Of its success in cornering eggs,
fruit and other food supplies by the
gigantic cold storage system.
When the National Packing company
with its $25, 600, 900 capital was formed
which is designed to take over all com
petitors and be the big holding COM
pany for the trust, Armour insisted on
40 per cent. Swift got but 81 and Nor
ris %.
The Combine Made.
1t Is asserted that Swift and Morris
combined forces While j. Ogden Armour
was In Europe, and with their combined
60 per cent. interest in the National
Packing company against 40 per cent.
owned by the Armour company, they
endeavored to undermine the Armour
forces. On top of this the Hammond
people, who sold out to the National
Packing company have brought suit
against Armour in Massachusetts for
$l,200000. alleging breach of contract,
and j. p. Lyman, the president of the
National Picking company. who was
prominent in Hammond company af-
fairs, has resigned from the National
company.
Secrecy of the Business.
There is no large business in the
United States conducted along such
lines of secrecy as the packing house
business. 1t is known, however. that
during the last year the Swift Packing
company has had the most prosperous
year in its history. With the $4,000 600
increase in capital last January the
company absorbed certain distributing
houses and refrigerator car companies.
The latter is one of the most profitable
branches Of the business.
The railroad companies pay y of a
cent mile mileage on the Swift re-
frigerator cars of a capacity of 10000
pounds each. laden or empty. This
means SIS a car for every car shipped
from Chicago to the cost and returned,
and naturally places the packers in an
impregnable position in respect to COM
petition.
The Swift stock has suddenly risen
from around par to $l15.

FIRE and Panic Cause Horrible Deaths
at Lancaster, Pa.
Lancaster, Pa, Nov. 26.-Five Italians
persisted in a fire which late last night
destroyed the old Noble grain ware
house at North Bend. For some time
sixty or more Italian railroad laborers
have been sleeping in the building.
: One of them was washing pair of
overalls in a pail of gasoline when a
spark from his pipe fell into the pail
causing an explosion that scattered the
burning OIL
Instantly there was "a panic among
the Italians, most of whom had been
asleep. They fought madly to escape
from the burning building. One leaped
from a window and was picked up with
a broken leg.
1t is believed that the five who per-
ished were trampled upon in the rush
to get out. Their bodies We're recov-
