OPPOSITION PLANNED
To THE BEEF TRUST

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Carefully laid op-
| position to the beef trust" which, it
is asserted, will reach gigantic proper
tions shortly, began operations today
at the partly completed packing plant
/ owned by the Independent Packing Co.
| With the utmost secrecy two compa-
nies, the other the Western Packing &
Provision Co, have organized in Chi
cagO. and their plants when completed
will have cost S5O0,O00.
While the packers of the beef
trust" circle were waTding off the at
tacks of the interstate commerce COM
mission as to private car lines, and
the federal grand jury as to combina-
tion and conduct of their business, the
wholesale butchers, hotel men and res
taurant men, as well as other large
consumers of meats, were secretly or
ganizing with determination to sue
ceed so strongly in their minds that no
word reached the public till today.
Men interested in the Independent
movement say the railroads have given
them assurances that they will aid
them to almost any extent, as they
have tired of what they term the pack
ers' manipulation and sometimes
treachery.
third and larger independent plant
will be built next summer and will cost
more than 100000 in itself
Wholesale butchers, hotel and res
taurant men have organized in twenty
cities, and it is understood are getting
ready to erect similar packing plants.
Negotiations are partly completed with
organizations having capital, energy
and fight, in New York city. where two
packing plants have already been quiz
city erected; one at cost of 81, 500, 900,
in San Francisco; one in Mobile, Ala;
one in Granville, Mich, and two others
in larger cites of Michigan; one in
Buffalo and several scattered through
out the south, west and north in cities
of 100000 to 100000 population.

A MEXICAN MOB
FATE OF AMERICANS AS RESULT
OF A SHOOTING.

Was Surprised by the Natives.
Three Dead and Four
Others Will Die.

El Paso, Tex. Aug. 21,-Meagre re-
ports reached here tonight uf a massa
ere of Americans at MicOss Station, in
the state of San Luis PotOsi, Mexico
According 10 reports, three Americans
were killed and four mortally wounded

The trouble is said to have started
over the shooting of an insulting Mexi-
can by an American. The Mexican
mob formed at night and surprised the
American colony, butchering them be-
fore they could make q defense. ac-
cording to the report. Such meagre re-
ports as have reached here came in
over railroad wires, and no details are
obtainable over the federal lines in
Mexico, the only commercial lines in
that country. The massacre is said to
have taken place last Friday.
The trouble started over thefts at the
Hacienda mines, at small place
known as Cuidad del Miaz, near Mi
coss. The attacking throng was bent
on robbery as we'll as revenge. The
latest information is that six of the
MeXicans are in Jail. One report says
no Americans were killed. Headquar-
ters OF the mine are said to be in Chi
cago.

LOOKS DARK
oenator cuIlom Hopes For Peace But
Fears II Will Not Come.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-senator Shelby
NJ. Cullom, chairman of the foreign re-
la,ions committee of the United States
senate, expressed the opinion today
that the outlook for peace between
Russia and Japan is unpromising. Ow-
ing to his official position, Mr.. Cullom
is regarded as particularly we'll posted
on foreign affairs.
THE situation looks dark to ME-"
said Senator Cullom. Il have had
great hopes for peace, and still hope,
but fear that the negotiations at
Portsmouth have failed to develop a
satisfactory basis of settlement.
Russia seems TO be firm against in
demnity. Ii Japan does not get in
demnity | fail to see that she is get
ting much out of the proposed settle
ment. Japan already has won the ISL
and of Sakalien and the fort at Port
Arthur. Unless she receives more than
the cession of these advantages, al
ready gained in war, | do not see that
she greatly profits.
"As for the question of surrendering
interned ships, that should not block a
settlement 1t can be settled without
difficulty under international law"

BARNEY OLDFIELD
Thinks He Has Plan to Make Auto
Racing Safe.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug 21.-Barney
Oldfield has new plan to make speed
racing in automobiles safe, and here
after will not engage in competition
unless the number of contestants to a
heat is limited to two. and that they
start from opposite sides of the track.
MY idea is that the speed contests
should be continued" said OldGeld to-
day, "but think that every element of
safety should surround them. The ac-
cident to Jay was due to the dust. l
would rather lose race than ride in
the dust, and have demonstrated that
time after time. BY having two men
start from opposite sides of the track
think all danger of driving into the
dust will be eliminated and there will
be no danger. Hereafter, in competi-
tion, shall insist on these conditions" !"

JAPAN MUST YIELD,
OR TALK STOP AND
THE WAR CONTINUE
Efforts Of President Roosevelt to

Appreciated, But
THE OPINION is THAT HE
CAN'T BRING THE IMPOSSIBLE

st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-Great inter-
est is felt here over the situation at
Portsmouth, and there is a general
feeling that Japan must yield or that
the negotiations must end and the war
continue. The efforts of the President
of the United States to bring about
peace arc greatly appreciated, but the
general opinion of the Russian officials
Is that he cannot bring about the inn

has had several conferences with the
car and with the foreign minister,
Count Lamsdorff, and he is fully in
formed of their feelings on the subject.
He is doing everything possible to Sc

that he has been CourteOusly but en-

Mr. Meyer was received in audience
by Count Lamsdorff yesterday evening
and was closeted with the Russian
minister for foreign affairs for more
than an hour and a half. He then went
to the American embassy and sent
lengthy cipher message to President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
Late last night he received an an
swer of several hundred words and i'm
mediately there was great activity at
the American legation. What the con-
tents of the message were, of course,
can only be conjectured, but there is
reason to believe that it summed up
the result of the conference which
President Roosevelt and Baron KanekO,
the financial agent of the japanese
government are reported to have had
at the American summer capital on
Monday.

Saturday afternoon Mr.. Whitacre had

house supposed he had sought shelter
at the barn. Those who happened to be
at the barn thought he was at the

afterward, and search then made led
to the discovery of his dead body in the

He had evidently been dead some

heart trouble. Mr.. Whitacre was about
