LOSS OVER HALF MILLION.
Fire Occurs in Wholesale District at
, Omaha.

Fire Occurs in Wholesale District at
> Omaha.
Omaha, Jan. 30.-The fire which
started in the wholesale district OF
this city late Saturday night was the
most destructive in the history Of
Omaha. The total loss will exceed
s5V0,OOG at the most conservative esti.
mate.
A half block was burned over, but
the immense buildings contained great
jobblng stocks, which is responsible
Cor the enormous loss. The buildings,
valued at 100000, were owned re-
spectively by the Mercer and Millard
estates. No definite figures have vet
been obtained on insurance, but the
stocks of goods were generally covered
by insurance up to the 80 per cent
limit.
A more disastrous conflagration was
only prevented by the heroic efforts of
the entire fire department of Omaha,
which was reinforced by several en-
gines, hose wagons and other equip
ment from South Omaha and Council
Bluffs.

Held at Mankato, MINI.
New Ulm, Mimi. Jan. 28.-Dr.
George r. Koch, charged with the
murder of DR.. L. A. Gebhardt, has
been. released on bail, Judge Weber
fixing the amount of his bond at $780,
900, which was furnished and approved
by the court.

the prisoner, but Judge Weber de-
cided that in view Of the excellence of
Koch's conduct while in Jail and of the
fact that he made no attempt to es-
cape, while he might easily/have done
so, it was entirely proper to admit
him to bail.
The matter Of a change of venue
and a second trial was also arranged.
The new trial will be held in Mankato
in February. The term Of court opens
Feb. Z and the Koch case will come up
as soon as the regular calendar is dis

= Offensive Movement 10 Abandoned.
! No Official Estimate OF Losses Has
Been Given Out, but Thousands on
Both Sides Were Killed or Wounded.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the Japanese left wing and outflank
Field Marshal Oyama's position on the
Shakhe river, seems to have failed en-
tirely. Few details, however, are
available beyond the information con-
tanned in the Official dispatches. Field
Marshal. Oyama, as at the battle of
the Shakhe river, appears to have an
swered the Russian advance with a
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the war far into the territory held by
the Russians.
At the war office there is an inclina-
ton to lay the chief blame for the fall
ure of the movement to a sudden
change of the weather to intense cold,
20 degrees below zero with high
wind, which drifted the snow and rem
dered it hazardous to expose the
troops to camping in the open plain
and also impeded the transportation OF
guns, supplies and the wounded.
Too Hard a Nut to Crack.
The operation entrusted to the Sec
ond army under General Grippenberg
was the capture of Sandepas, which
once in Russian hands would serve as
pivot for thanking movement
against Field Marshal Oyama, but
Sandepas proved too hard a nut to
crack and the Japanese, taking ad-
vantage of the repulse of the Russians,
hurried up their reinforcements and
assumed the offensive on the Hun
river as we'll as along the railway and
the Great Mandarin road.
The Russians, however, appear to
have been completely successful on
the defensive, repulsing all the Japa-
nese attacks. Under the c1rcum-
stances General Grippenberg decided
not to undertake to storm Sandepas.
which is situated in a nat country,
therefore more difficult to take than q
position in a hilly country.
Owing to fiat trajectory and tho
enormous penetration Of modern pro-
jectiles the capture Of the outer lines
of trenches on Thursday entailed
heavy casualties. There is no oflcial
estimate of the losses, but 1t is expect
ed that some thousands on both sides
were killed or wounded.

AGAINST BE 3 Il TRUST
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECIDES PACKERS GUILTY
i or CONSPIRACY.

Associate Justices-lniunetion@ t.
sued Against the Packers Under the
Sherman Antitrust Law In the Trial
Court Continues in Force. ~@
Washington, Jan. 31.-The supreme
court of the United States has decided
the case OF the United States VI. Swift
4 Co., known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among the pack
ers to fix prices on fresh meats, etc.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice Holmes and affirmed the de-
cision of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis.
cussed at length the various conten-
lions Of the packers and disposed OF
them individually. He admitted that
some OF the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was neces-
sarily true on account of the vast ex-
tent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient had been shown to prove
continuous offenses and offenses of
such a nature to justify the proceed
tngs. The opinion continues the in
junction granted against the packers
under the Sherman antitrust law by
the lower courts. The opinion was
concurred in by all the members of the
court.
Summarizing the bills Judge Holmes
said:
1T charges a combination of a
dominant proportion OF the dealers in
fcesh meat throughout the United
States not to bid against each other
n the live stock markets of the differ
ent states; to bid up prices for few
days in order to induce the cattlemen
to send their stock to the stockyards:
70 fix prices at which they will sell
and to that end to restrict shipments
Of meat when necessary to establish
a uniform rule Of credit to dealers: and
20 keep black list; to make uniform
and improper charges for carriage and.
finally, to get less than lawful rates
from the railroads to the exclusion of
competitors"
The opinion continues the injunc-
zion granted against the packers under
the Sherman antitrust law by the low
or courts. The opinion was concur
red in by all members Of the court.
