The arrest and imprisonment of four of the officers of the cruiser Chi- cago at Venice is likely to become an international incident. President Roosevelt is wroth, and intends going to the bottom of the matter. He was very much incensed Tuesday when Secretary Long appeared at the White House for the Cabinet meet- ing and reported that the Navy De- partment had received no official re- port upon the incident. He lost his patience altogether when Secretary Hay came in and said that the State Department had. no news. He order- ed that dispatches be sent at once to our naval and diplomatic represen- tatives at Rome to report all particu- lars of the affair forthwith. The President is not only officially angered by the neglect of our representatives, but he is personally very much pro- voked at the idea’ of Ambassador von Lear Meyer permitting such an out- rage to be perpetrated without even a verbal protest to the Italian gov- ernment. The course usually pur- sued in such cases, when the civil of- ficers find it necessary to arrest the | pen or officers of the navy, is to send | them to the commander of the ship with a request that they be suitably punished. national comity for the representa- tives of one government to arrest the servants of another. In that respect our naval officers in Venice stood practically upon the same footing as diplomatic representatives, who are exempt from arrest. Such a thing as arresting American officers and sail- ors has been known to occur, but this is the first time within 50 years that a foreign tribunal has presumed to pass judgment and enforce its judgment by having the officers im- prisoned. It is believed that the ac- tion of the Italian authorities at Ven- ice was much more severe than it would have been had the sailors been of any other nationality. The Ital- ians harbor resentful feelings against the United States, because of the lynchings of Italians in New Orleans, St. Charles’ parish and Madison parish, Louisiana, and near Vicks- burg, Miss. Detailed reports of the trial of the Americans say they ac- cidentally overturned a table in a cafe and that they were violently seized with the intention of having them con- veyed to a police station, which they resisted. A cable message from Venice, Italy, under date of May 2, reports “that the American naval officers were released upon the pardon of the King.” In an interview the imprisoned officers warmly repudiated reports from Rome that they were under the in- fluence of wine at the time of the trouble. A rigid investigation will be instituted under direction of the Secretary of the Navy. If it is shown that the American officers were simply acting on the defensive an apology will be demanded, and a claim for damages for the imprisonment of the officers will probably be made.

Bil Against Beef Trust Prepared. Qnly Awaits the Approval of Attorney General and President. William A. Dey special represents tive of the Department of Justice, who has under the direction of Attorney General Knox been making a personal investigation of the alleged discrim- ination of the Beef Barons in arbi traily raising or lowering the costs of meats to the consumers, completed his inquiries in the West Friday, and started on his return to Washington. He claims to have found more than 100 specifications of violations of the law and kas prepared a hill against the packers which he will submit to Attorney General Knox and President Booseyelt before it is filed in court. The bill names these defendants: Ar- mour & Co. Nelson Morris & Co., Swift & Co., the G. H. Hammond Packing Company, the Cudahy Pack- ing Company and the Schwartzchild & Sulzberger Company. It is based on the Sherman anti-trust measure, and charges the defendants with hav- ing entered into a combination in re- straint of trade. The specifications are that the defendants have an agree- ment whereby they absolutely control the beef trade between the several States; that the defendants are main- taining an agreement to raise or low- er prices of beef; that the fixing of prices creates a monopoly; that tbe combination fixes the prices without regard to the supply and demand; that the packers named are maintaining a blacklisting system by which retail ers are compelled to submit to certain arbitrary rules or be forced out of the trade; that the regulation of prices and distribution of beef pro- ducts throttles competition; and that the packing firms named have entered into an agreement with certain rail- road companies by which the defend- ants are enabled to secure certain concessions denied other patrons of the railroads. It is reported that President Roosevelt is taking an ac- tive interest in the case, and suits will be entered at an early date. FROM DULUTH TO KLONDIKE. Purpose ef a New Jersey Corporation.

Serious Peril Is Confronting Russian Government — Troops Siding With the People Owe of the most serious difficulties that the St ° Petersburg government has to face in connection with the re- voit that is spreading throughout Eu- ropean Russia is disaffection in the army. The troops show growing dis- inclination to aot against the people. Punishment has been dealt out to 800 men of the Sumy Regiment for refus- ing recently to fire on the rioters at Moscaw. They Mave been transferred to service in varicus remote provinces. A detachment of marines stationed at St. Petersburg will he disciplined in the same manner for similar action at the time of the student riots in March. The instigators of the peasant riots in the Veronej and Kharkoff govern- ments, who succeeded in bringing the former serfs and land owners into col- lision by circulating the report that the Czar had ordered the lands of the nobles to be divided among the eman- cipated serfs, prove to be identical with the organizers of the student movement at the capital. After the student agitation was - stopped the secret press bureau turned its at- tention to South Russia and the ‘“un- derground” presses turned out thou- sands of bogus proclamations, with the Czar’s forged signature attached to them, directing the peasants to par- tition the nobles’ lands and distribute their goods among themselves. The proclamations set forth that the peas- ants should disregard the officials, who would probably interfere, as the latter always tried to thwart the Czar’s will. Labor troubles have broken out at Novorossisk, on the east coast of the Black sea. Nearly all the Southern mines and steel mills have been closed the whole winter and the laborers returned to their native villages, where they are swelling the ranks of the famine-stricken.

There are a number of missionaries, of whom 60 are Roman Catholics, in the district of Southern Chi Li, where the latest revolt has broken out. The best informed people say 10,000 rebels are under arms. The cannons and rifles. they have gre believed to have been imported since the signing of the treaty by which the powers pledged themselves not to send fire arms into the country. 1t is known that the provincial troops who garri- soned the district under General Ma and General! Tou are inferior to the rebels and are falling back. The rebels have been organized by Chen, a Boxer leader, who is connected with a leading family of Paoting-Fu. A Colonel and 50 men of the troops of Viceroy Yuan Shih Kai have been cut to pieces by rebels in the region about Weihsien. A thousand regular troops left Paoting-Fu and another thousand, including 500 mounted men, started to reinforce the troops in the disturbed district. These were ordered to use the most extreme measures, and to burn everything and hehead all rebels until the uprising had been eradicated. A large district is affected. Mr. Con- ger, the American minister, sent a telegram to Rev. Mr. Houlding, an American missionary, and two others advising them to avoid the disturbed region. It .is understood, however, that the people are now at Taming-Fu, where, it is thought, there are sufi- cient troops to protect them. A ca- blegram received at the State Depart- ment at Washington from Migrister Conger states that there are serious disturbances in the Southern portion of the province of Chi Li, in which Pekin is situatad. The first troops sent there were worsted, but the Cice- roy was dispatching a sufficient force to suppress the rioters. RIVAL MEAT PACKERY. Thousands of Retail Meat Dealers Or- ganizing Independent Company. Retail meat dealers throughout the country have begun the organization of an independent packing company with a capital of $5,000,000. It is proposed to erect a modern packiag plant in Chicago large enough to sup- ply all the beef products handled in their trade. A considerable amount of the capital already has been sub- scribed. The largest subscription which will be accepted from any oue firm or individual is $5,000. ‘This is to prevent absorption of the company by the packers who now control the teef business. Men skilled in the beef trade have been engaged to man- age the new concern. The work for the promotion of the new company be- gan two weeks ago. The promoters expect to interest between 15,000 and 20,000 retailers in the project. BODIES WASHED ASHORE. Corpses of Victims of River Disaster Recovery—Many Missing.

ANARCHIST MOUTHS BRIDLED. Mest Arrested on the Eve of Going to Prison. Five thousand persons gathered in a Broome street hall, New York, Sun- day, to say farewell to Johann Most, the anarchist, who was hooked to go to jail under sentence for having printed in his paper an anarchist arti- cle when President McKinley was shot. Three detectives went into the hall while William McQueen was at- tacking the government, and they ar- rested him and Most. This was the signal for a riotous outbreak. The detectives had to fight their way to the street with their prisoners and the crowd grew so threatening that the reserves were called out. Most, Mec- Queen and one other man were taken to a police station. Negro Lynched in Kentucky.
