MUT|NY IN PEK|NG
CHINESE SOLDIERS START A
REIGN OF TERROR AND Pill.
LACE IN CAPITAL.
FOREIGNERS ESCAPE THE MOB
Yuan's Troops sIay, Loot and Burn
Many Natives Killed or Wounded
in Streets-Missionarie Are Well
Armed and Safe.

Peking.-Many natives was killed
or wounded in Peking during mutiny
Of Yuan Shi Kai's troops.
So far as known, all foreigners are
safe. The legation quarter is crowd
ed, but the missionaries are holding
forth in their own compound.
The American minister, w. J. Cal
houn, consulted with the American
missions by telephone. All the mis-
sionaries express preference not to
leave their compounds.
The Methodists are within block
of the legation quarter and can be
rescued easily If endangered.
Two or three American families
have not been heard from, but it is
presumed no harm has come to them.
When the outbreak started it was
estimated 1000 soldiers took part,
but the mutineers were later aug
mented by large numbers of the po-
lice, coolies and loafers.
The mutinous soldiers looted every
where from house to house. They
did not spare even foreign residences
within a block of the legation quar-
ter
Fires were started in various Sec
tons and territory Of more than
mile In area was burned. This
stretches from the Forbidden City to
the building of the Chinese foreign
board, where Yuan Shi Kai resides.
The flames reached within half
mile of the legations.
There was much reckless shooting
One shell, which fell into the COM
pound Of the American legation, tore
through the tent of an American SOL
dier, but did not explode.
The American is the most exposed
legation, lying outside the main quad
rangle Of the quarter. The American
end Of Legation street, is the only un-
inclosed section.
The legations know no reasons for
the outbreak. The idea is expressed
that Yuan Shi Kais soldiers began
the trouble when they learned that he
intended to leave the capital for Nan
king. Soon after the mutiny began
the quarters occupied by the Marking
delegates who came to notify Presi
dent Yuan Of his elections as presi-
dent were enveloped in flames.

SAYS COMBINE OPERATES IN
RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
Accountant Shows Morgan & Co. Re-
celVed Cash Profit Of $50 100000
for Organizing Firm.

Washington. - The United States
Steel corporation operates in restraint
of trade. and J. Pierpont Morgan re-
ceived $7O,O00,0OO for organizing the
trust, according to f. j. McRae, ex-
pert accountant, who made a report
minutes of the trust His report
reaches the conclusion that the cor
poration prevents competition through
a manipulation of prices, through the
influence Of the so-called Gary din
ners," by control of raw materials
and through a system of interLocking
directors in various companies.
Some of the charges made in the
report are:
That J. P. Morgan & Co.. heading
the syndicate which organized the
Steel corporation, received cash
profit of $69,3OO,OOO, of which $62.-
100000 was for promotion. and $6,-
100000 for bond conversion scheme.
That the net earnings for nine
years were S1,O29, ,6S5,3SO or an equiv
alent OF approximately $13 a ton on
finished product, instead OF $9SO,OOO,-
311 as claimed by the corporation in
its report:
That the statement made by Judge
Gary and H. c. Frick to President
Roosevelt in 1907 that the Steel cor
poration did not control more than ~
per cent. of steel properties in the
country was wrong; that it controls
on the contrary about 80 per cent. OF
the steel holdings.

Cross Border If Ell Paso 10
Endangered.

Ell Paso, Textile Vasquista rebels
are now in full possession OF Juarez.
They marched into the town, firing
only one or two volleys and meeting
no resistance, except a few shots in
reply to their first volley. They cap
tured the machine guns that had been
bought to repel the attackers, took
charge of the municipal Offices, the
customs house, the barracks, the Jail
and other public buildings.
Mexican Consul E. c. Llorente of El
Paso afterward said the officers de-
cided not to make resistance to avoid
complications with the United States.
United States troops patrolled the
border at the time the attack was
made, apparently ready to enter Jua-
rez If Ell Paso should be endangered.

PACKERS LOSE BIG POINT
Company's Meetings as Competent
Evidence Against Defendants.

Chicago.-Federal Judge George A.
Carpenter placed a weapon in the
hands of the government when he de-
cided that records OF meetings OF the
directors of the National Packing
company were competent evidence
against the meat packers. Earlier in
the trial the court ruled that these
records were admissible only in SO far
as acts of the corporation were con-
cerned.
Ferdinand Sulzberger said he knew
all the defendants. From 1898 to May,
1902, he said he attended meetings of
the packers where margins and ship
ments were agreed upon. Arthur
Meeker and Jerome H. Pratt attended
for Armour C Co.; G. F. Swift, now
dead; Francis A. Fowler Charles
Swift and George Hartwell for Swift
G. Co, and l.. H. Heyman for Morris
