England May Intervene.

LONDON. June ls.-Leading citizens
of this city met yesterday to discuss the
situation at Bialystok and the possibility
of bringing pressure to bear on the Rus
sian Government. Later in the day Lord
Rothchid called at the Foreign Office.
Rothschild said afterwards the matter
was delicate one and nothing was
finally decided on. Sir Samuel Monta-
que however, said he had hopes that the
government would intervene. The gov
ernment, Sir Samuel said, did not favor
financial pressure upon Russia because it
would adversely affect French holders
of Russian bonds.

Small Packing Plants Could Break
Combine.
INDEPENDENTS MAY START
Agitation Against the Packers Win Re-
suit in Immense Loss to American
Commerce-Meat Exports Are
Falling OFF.

AST0RIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash.
ington, d. c., June ls.-The attack on
the meat packers, led by the President,
continues to develop peculiar interest.
Stotkraisers have commenced asking
themselves why it is that the packing
business should be SO centralized. Texas
stockmen who have been shipping by
rail to Omaha, st. Joe and Chicago, have
been forced to ask themselves why Texas
meats could not be packed at Texas
seaport, and put directly aboard deep
sea vessel, obviating the haul north and
thence to the seaboard when meat ia
ultimately exported. Western stockmen
are likewise wondering why they ship
hundreds of miles to eastern plants, and
then receive large quantities of packed
meats at their homes, involving costly
shipments both ways.
Americas export meat business is
almost exclusively in the hands of the
packers known as the trust. Whether
the economies and developments of these
packers have made the export trade pos
sible. or they, as leaders in the business,
have fallen heir to a business natural
conditions would otherwise have distri-
buted among many packers doing bust
ness on more limited scale, cannot be
determined. Many stockmen believe that
there is nothing in the packing business
which necessitates operation on an enor-
nous scale, in attaining best results.
Following this though, they argue that
a multitude of small plants. contributing
their select export products to the for
eign trade, and working on margin Civ
ing reasonable returns, would upbuild a
better business than that now enjoyed
by the combine, Hence their concern
over the present situation is not so
profound.
Loss Will Be Heavy.
1t has been made apparent that the
loss to American commerce through the
packing agitation will be heavy for a
time at least. This will be shared most
heavily by the stockmen, as the fortified
position of the packers enables them to
prices so as to recoup in
large measure any temporary loss they
sustain. Of darker augury than this is
the fact that when normal business re-
sumes' the inspection system will give
almost irrevocably the export business
to the great combine units. With the
fighting club of the trust over the strug-
Cling independent and the spreading
meshes of inspection before him, the en-
tire system being framed for combine
competition in the export

THRILLING SPEED CONTEST.
Relay Races at State Fair. OAR
ing Horsemanship.

Probablythe most exciting contest
ever offered State Fair visitors will
be the iour.mile relay race TO be rid
den each day by Montana cow girls,
.questrience Queens OF western
ranches. Horses will change at the
end OF each mile and the contract
guarantees that the four miles willbe
covered in eight minutes, including
the time necessary to change horses.
All the animals used in the contest
are royalty bred thoroughbreds and
as each girl is anxious to have
and to ride the best, only those With
extreme speed and unusual endurance
are engaged. The girls grew up on
the Montana cattle ranges and With
their father, had charge Of one OF the
largest herds in the northwest. They
we're almost raised In the saddle and
are at perfect ease In the manage
ment Of the most spirited or most
vicious horses. For reckless. daring
isats Of horsemanship, they have no
supsriors, and the event win arouse
the greatest excitement and the deep
EFT interest from start TO finish.

NO LAWYER
Jerome CriticiSeS Roosevelt
 For Criticising Court

Special Dispatch to Daily AlaSkanl
 Warm Springs, Ga.. July 2l-Dtstrict Attorney Jerome, in an address before the Georgia bar yesterday, made a rather violent attack upon President Roosevelt for his having criticised the opinion Of 9 justice of the United States court of Illinois in connection with a trust investigation. Alr. Jerome said that Roosevelt was not lawyer and should have left to Iawers any criticism the matter might be surJecs to. He said the opinion of the court referred to was not a popular one and because of this, it was quite clear, the president ayaiIed himself of au opportunity to catzy to public sentiment. He said that such criticism on the par, of the pres tuent of the United States was most un- ssemly and improper.
