PROBE FOR A TRUST
Proposed by Martin of South Da-
kota, Who Is After the
Beef Combine.
LAYS A CHARGE AT ITS DOOR
Says 1t Is Violating the Injunction
Against Combining-Ffgures
Some Profits.

Washington, March 2. Wnerner
the "beef trust" is violating the in
junction resting against it is to be
made the subject of official investiga-
ton by the department of commerce
and labor, according to a resolution or
dered reported favOrably to the house
by the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. Should the house
take favorable action ON its resolu-
ton, which is to be called up at the
earliest possible moment by Chair
man Hepburn, it will constitute the
first instructions from congress to the
new department to exercise the pow
ers given it under the law to investi
gate the operation Of industrial insti-
tutions.
Martin Makes the Charge.
The resolution was introduced In the
house Feb. by Representative Mar
tin, of South Dakota. Martin was
given an extended hearing by the COM
mittee, in which he made the assertion
that 1.-The beef trust was violating the
spirit of the injunction, if not its let
ter. Should the investigation show vio-
lations of the injunction the matter
undoubtedly will be referred by the
president to the department Of justice
and the trust" proceeded against for
contempt of court.
Gives a Case in Point.
To illustrate how he believed the in
junction against the ''beef trust" was
being evaded by that combination,
which, he stated, consisted of seven
concerns, Martin said he was told by
stockman that he had just sold a
train load of fat steers in Chicago
When he arrived in that city he sought
bids for his stock. He went to the
various concerns, but could secure a
bid from only one. He finally ac-
cepted this bid His curiosity had been
aroused and he resolved to see what
the reason was for tbs condition. That
night the steers were : sarate6 oy the
trust into seven equal los and sent to
the seven different concerns.
Profit Made by the Trust"
10 illustrate the profit that he as
serted was being made by the beef
trust" Martin said that on Feb. 1,
1902, the price of good toextra steers"
was $3.50 per hundred weight, the price
of good to extra beef Sides was
$S.3Is; on Aug. 1, 1903, the price of
beef sides was the same as on Feb. 1.
but the price of live beef had dropped
to $o.17 per 100 weight. During the
month of August $4,000 steers were
sold on the Chicago market, making,
according to Martin, an additional
profit to the trust for the month of
$3,SS2, ,263, or $144,3l7 for each of the
twenty-six businessdays of that month.

1t is the talk on the street that when

Indictment will be returned, but it will
be against a man whose name has not
heretofore been publicly mentioned in
connection with the crime. The ar
rival of Mcdonald caused no demon

to be the inciting cause. The prison

Washington, March 1.-During con-

appropriation bill in the house Scott
Of Kansas made the declaration that
a negro had dined at the White House
with President Cleveland during the
latter's first administration. The state
ment was prompted by reference
by Gilbert of Kentucky to the dining
Of Rocker Washington at the White
House. When the name was demand

FORT AT PORT ARTHUR.

forced to retire. The Askold was in
a sinking condition. The Novik was
badly dana ged, and a torpedo boat
was sunk. The Russian battleship
Retvizan was again damaged. The
japanese withdrew in good order"
Same Old Japanese Tactics.
The pause in the war operations in
the Far East has been broken by an
other Japanese attack on Port Arthur,
OF which only the foregoing brief ac-
count is yet to hand. This report, how
ever, shows a repetition of the now
familiar tactics Of Japan, and it is
presumed that this attack was made
in bad weather, previous telegraphic
advices having reported severe gale
raging at Port Arthur. AS usual the
japanese did not remain long enough
off the harbor to enable the gunners at
the forts to get their range. Again,
also, the same three cruisers, the Bay
an, the Askold and the Novik came
out to meet the attack, and this sug-
geets that either they were the only
effective ships there or that the larger
battleships were unable to get out.
First shot on Land
London, March IA cable from
Toxic, dated Feb. 2S. says: The first
shots of the war on land were ex-
changed today at Ping Yang. A small
detachment of Russian infantry, evi-
IDENTITY scouts, appeared this morning
to the northward of the town. The
japanese outposts opened fire from a
range of 1,7O0 meters and the Rus
slams retired. The telegram reporting
the incident fails to mtntion any cas-
ualties. 1t is presumed there were
none, on account Of the small number
of men engaged and the distance sepa-
rating the opposing armies.
Looking for Some More Soon.
1T is reported here that there will
be a small engagement soon some
where in northern Korea, where the
Russians are scouting over an extend
ed area close to the Japanese posi-
tions, but a general engagement is not
expected to occur for some time. The
Russian force south of the Yalu river
is inconsistent BILE, it's greatest strength
seeming to be in the vicinity Of Wiju.
North of the Yalu the Russian army
Is constantly increasing in numbers
and is being mobilized. but the chances
of it taking the offensive are slight"

and said that in the Spanish war there

there was member Of the Republic

Scott Draws a Contrast.

Scott asked him if he did not know
that negro dined at the White House
during President Clevelandis first adj
ministration, to which Gilbert replied
that the Democrats were not particu-
larly claiming Cleveland, and that he
was not first-class Democrat. Scott
drew a contrast between Washington
and Taylor, saying the former was a
man of recognized ability and had been
the guest of distinguished people at
home and abroad, including Queen Vic
toria, and declared that the latter had
nothing to commend him save the
claim that be carried the Democratic
