Are the Packers Receiving Fair PLAY

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, 1t was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity 1t Is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no.
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
OF this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beer Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, Of the bank.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS WE
NEED A BIC NAVY

NEW YORK-Delivering an address
in Brooklyn at the unwilling of a
statue of General Slocum, President
Roosevelt used these significant
words:
'If our navy is good enough we
have a long career of peace and pros
perity before us, and the only likeli-
hood of trouble ever coming to us as
a nation will arise if we let our navy
become too small or inefficient. A
first class navy, first class in point of
size, first class in point of efficiency
and the individual unit or units in
combination, is the surest and cheap
est guarantee of peace. should

GLOOM IN ST. PETERSBURG
Feeling of Confidence of Saturday
Gives Way to Pessin1ism.

Gives Way to Pessimism.
ST. PETERSBURG-In this momen-
tous hour the emperor, the admiralty
and the Russian public are waiting
breathlessly for the Japanese to fur
nish authentic news of the defeat of
Admiral Rojestvensky and his fleet in
which the hopes of the Russians are
conferred The official disposition is to
construe Tokio's silence favorably
but at the same time the strategic
reason for such silence is recognized
The public altering the premature
jubilation of Saturday night is inclin
ed to reverse its attitude and to be-
come pessimistic.
The report sent to Washington by
the American consul at Nagasald of
the sinking of FIVE Russian warships
included a battleship and repair ship
was accepted as the most definite and
the most authentic piece of news re-
ceived up to midnight and undoubted-
ly produced a bad impression. The
fear was expressed that the battle
ship sunk might have been Rojestven-
sky flagship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, on
which the Japanese would undoubted-
ly concentrate their fire The sinking
of the repair ship Kamschatka, which
was filled with the most modern ma.
chinery, might, it is thought, prove
later to be a more severe loss than
that of a warship, but at the admiral
ty, where crowds congregated Sun
day afternoon and evening, the opin-
ion was expressed that if Rojestven.
Sky had cleared the gateway to the
sea of Japan with no other loss than
reported by the American consul, the
passage had not been dearly pur
chased, especially if the later reports
should prove that the Japanese losses
were anything like equal proportions.
