"The Mohammedan people," hu con? tinued, "uro further aroused against the Christian nations. Great Rrltu'u and Russia, far from being on a mure solid basis of friendship, me now face to face on opposite sides of a disorgun- , Ued territory. "The Kassian and British legations are the real gOVorn'ng forces in Per? sia. They are acting through a direc? tory ol seven Persians, in order to avoid International responsibility, but mor? ally tiny uro responsible for the de? struction of Persian nationality, when it gave promise of'establishing a stable constitutional government. The seven men who are nominally governing Per sia are without character or reputa- . tlon. They do not command the slight-j est respect of their countrymen, and would not exist a day without the pro? tection of the Russian and LirltlHh le gallons. "Russian forces and Influences art] steadily advancing southward, and un? less there Iis a break In the present trend of events, the realisation of ltua-; Ma'.- dream of a warm water port iu a I matter of only a tew years. Great; Britain will then be confronted with ill living Russian-Indian frontier prob- i lein. I "The past year's action of tho Euro pean riationa in Mo.oc'co, Tripoli and] Persia does not i hcourage the hope of International peace. The fact thni the ; Mohammedans have been dilvcn to Hie 1 wall renders future retaliation Incvl-j table. ;i'he most regrettable feature ot j Persia's dlamornbermeni is the fact! that it might have beer, entirely pre-j vented had Great Hritnin frankly ob? jected at the beginning to Russia's mi? grant violation of the Anglo-Russian | agreement, commencing with her claim last summer of the right to veto ap? pointments Of Persian officials, and cul mlnatlilg in the dispatch of her army , Into Persia on the laUo pretext that 111 Persian ofllcial hud printed a pttmphltl; criticizing Russia's previous action mi Persia." , ALARM BETRAYS BURGLAR Tblrf Captured by Detectives and Scu Irneed to Three Months In .fall.

Government Feels That It Has Made Strong Case Against Packer3. Chicago. January 21.?United Statcij District Attorney wiikersun declares Hint tlio government, in the lirst nix weeks of thu trial, has made substan- I tint progress In tlie ottering of evi? dence in support ot Its cunrge that tiie t hlcago packers maintained a combination in restraint u< trade. When court adjourned yesterday the government had examined seventeen witnesses and ottered In evidesco 120 documents of various kinds bearing on tile business methods of tile men under Indictment. A summary of the goyi rnment's ovldoncc thus far pre scnlcd, ttccordlng to District Attorney . Wllkorson, shows: ! That the packers, between 1S92 and [ 1902, Jm,i a pool, which met every > Tuesday osd divided territory, fixed j percentages of shipments agreed up? on margins, and followed a uniform , ays tern in figuring the test cost of beef. That these weekly meetings stopped for ti few months after the Issuance of Judge Grosseup's Injunction against the packers In 1902. That these meetings were resumed til the homes of the members In the , Sil miner of 1002. That the Armour. Swift und Morris 1 interests uequired hy purchase on Joint account the plants of eight com? petitors and attempted to form a giant merger of the packing Intercsiu of the country with a capital of nearly a billion dollars. That this plan was abandoned be? cause of the Inability of tile promoters to tlnance It. That the Natlonpl fucking Com pony was formed In March, 1902. to operate the plants of the eight com? petitors, and lhal Us stock wan di? vided between the Armour, Swift und Morris Interests. That since then the packers, as di? rectors nnd olllccrs of the National Duelling Company, have held weekly meetings at which the practlrc of di? viding territory, fixing percentages, shipments and agreeing on margins was continued throughout the period covered 'by the indictment. That the system of llgurlng the test cost of beef used In one form or other by tin? members of the alleged combi? nations was the basis used In fixing urn rglns. That the representatives of Armour, Swift. Morris und the National rack? ing Company in New Vork anil Hosten met In 1905 and 1906 dally and ex? changed figures on .shipments margins und selling prices. That the packers sent weekly in? structions to tholr branch bouse man? agers iii every territory, giving ship-1 m? nts to br made and margins. Counsel for the defense maintain' that the evidence so far presontcd does, not substantiate the charges In the In? dictment and are prepared to call Scores of witnesses who they declare will disprove the contentions which, the government relies on In the case.i Tile defense lays speclnl stress on i the circumstance that practically nil tho evidence thus far adduced refers; to periods outside of three years Ih-j eluded in the indictment.

STRIKING AT UNDERWOOD Commoner Is Demanding That Congress Investigate Money Trust. (Special to The Tlmes-Disputch. I Washington, January 20.?A light! that threatens to split the Democratic | organisation of the House of Repre? sentatives, has been precipitated over j the L'ndborgh money trust resolution now pending before the Committee on Rules. This Horlous sltuutton hus been brought about by the action of Wil? liam J. Bryan, who It bent on de? stroying the leadership of Representa? tive Underwood; of Alabama. Jir. Underwood und other Mouse lenders have counseled dellberutiou In the consideration of till measures pro? posing uddltlotinl Inquiries. They de? clare tlidt unless thu present trend Is checked, the House will be diverted from action on Important legislation. On thu other hand, Mr. Bryan has urged that the House Dmocruts owe It to themselves and to the country to prosecute Inquiries into thu affairs of tho money trust and other combina? tions that arc suppose*) to be operating in violution of law. Air. Bryan has the ear of many Democratic members ot the Committee on Rules, and tno fear is expressed that his will Instead ot that of the responsible leadership will prevail. In this situation, Speaker Clark is said to be wavering. So far he has shown a disposition to agree with tho ? views of Leader Underwood. How? ever, Mr. Bryan !s known to bo count? ing on the support of the Speaker. This week's Commoner contains a flaming editorial article saying In nub stutice that Wall Street Is trying lb prevent an investigation of the money trust. Just what ettect this will have on Mr. Clurk, who Is a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina? tion, Is a matter of lively speculation among party loadura. If Speaker Clark fulls In with Mr. Bryan's plans na to the money trust d breach mtiv be made In the democratic organiza? tion far-ruachlng in Us consequences. Democrats generally are concerned ovor the present state of affairs, und uro apprehensive that the present ap? pearance of harmony among their party men In the House may, to use a good Democratic expression, be knocked Into a cockeu hut by the In? terference of Mr. Bryan.
