TRUST CASES BEGINS IN FEDERAL COURT, .JURY TO SETTLE IMMUNITY QUESTION DECIDED AFTER LONG ARGUMENT THAT DEFENDANTS STAND TRIAL JOINTLY. Chicago, Dec. 13.—Attended by an imposing array of legal talent and crowds of spectators the last prelim- inary to the formal trial of the “heef trust” cases began here during the day before Judge J. Otis Humphrey in the United States court. The issues to be tried were on ten special pleas raised by the packers and which must be settled by a jury trial before action is taken on the indictments returned by the federal grand jury. The case had scarcely opened be- fore the government and the defense clashed in 4 mild way: Attorney John S. Miller, acting for the packers, de- manded without qualifications that the charges against Samuel A. McRoberts of Armour & Co., one of the defend- ants, be dismissed at once. District Attorney C. B. Morrison, for the government, asked for one day’s time in which to consider the matter. He admitted that Mr. Me- Roberts had testified hefore the grand Jjury which returned the indictment: Attorney Miller declared that in view of that fact, although the defendant had entered special pleas, under the law ‘McRoberts must be discharged. Judge Humphrey said that he under- stood the law to be as stated as Mr. Miller, whereupon the district attor- ney entered a nolle prosequi dismiss- ing the case against McRoberts. Commissioner Garfield Present. James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, upon whose testimony much of the government's case de- pends, was among those in the court- room. He was subpoenaed to tell what he did while investigating the beef industry and whether under that investization the present defendants were promised immunity in this case. The atforneys for the defendants demanded for their clients a separate trial in each case. District Attorney Morrison objected, Attorney Miller spoke at length on the right of the de- fendants to separate trials and was finally interrupted by Judge Hum- phrey, who asked: “In the case of two postoffice bur- glars we would require them to stand trial together, would we not?" “Yes, your honor,” replied Mr. Mil- ler Other attorneys for the packers made lengthy arguments for separate trials and District Attorney Morrison j objected for the government. The debates finally subsided into a conference and it was agreed that all the defendants would stand trial to- gether, the defense announcing that it had no desire to prolong the trial indefinitely. ASKS FOR RECONSIDERATION.! Porte’s Reply to Note of Powers Re- jecting Turkey's Proposals.

COMPLETELY ‘DESTROYED BY DYNAMITERS. i uisville, Dec. 13, —A special-from | Bicton, Ky., says: (The tobacco factory hefe owned by Mr. 8. B. M. Penyck and operated for !the so-called tobacco trust by the ‘ completely wrecked. There was no loss of life. Insurance on the- plani was cancelled a few days ago owing to the excitement caused by the tac- tics of some tobacco growers. Severa] houses in the vicinity were damaged, as were the depot and four or five passenger coaches on asiding. The deed is thought to have been committed by persons friendly to the Dark Tobacco Growers’ association, but the latter has severely condemned such action. A few days ago the representative of the American Tobacco company at this point received notice not to re- ceive any more tobacco from people favoring the trust; but he paid no at- tention to it. It is learned that a tobacco factory at Trenton, Ky., controlled by Italian contractors, was burned several nights ago. The fire is thought to be thr result of incendiarism. CREW OF LIGHTSHIP SAVED. Founders While in Tow of Vessel . Sent to Her Relief. New Bedford, Mass., Dec. 13.—Per- sistent bailing by hand for twenty- four hours and wireless telegraphy that brought help at last saved the lives of the thirteen men on board the Nanfucket South Shoal relief light- ship No, 58, but the vessel went down a few minutes after the crew had tumbled over the side into their life- i boat. For six hours the lighthouse tender Azalea, which had answered the call for help, lay alongside the water- logged lightship, unable to render as- sistance owing to the fearful gea. At length the weather moderated and then an effort whs made to tow the lightship to New Bedford. But after eighteen miles had been covered the water, which had becn coming in steadily through a leak in the fire- room compartment since early Sunday morning, began to gain on the already exhausted crew and the distress sig- nal was hoisted. Without stopping for any of their belongings the crew launched their boat and jumped into it. They had rowed only a short distance when the lightship plunged beneath the waves. The men were taken on board the lAzzl]en, which had steamed back to rescue them, and every one was brought here safe and sound 81X BURNED TO DEATH.

WILL PATIENTLY BIDE THEIR TIME LEADERS ADVISE FOLLOWERS TO EQUIP THEMSELVES FOR AN ARMED UPRISING. St. Petersburg, Dec. 11, via Eydt- kuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. 13.—Cau- tion having prevailed over the fury aroused by the arrest of the strike leaders the workmen’'s council has re- Jected the proposition to order a gen- eral strike at present as untimely and has decided that the workmen should bide their time patiently until all the preparations are complete. The coun- cil realized the weakness and unpre- paredness of the workmen for a gen- eral conflict and had been informed that the railroad men had already de- cided against a strike. The labor service delegates not un- der arrest held a secret meeting in the hall of the Economic society at an early hour this morning, declined to accept the challenge of the. govern- ment-and adopted a resolution against the arrest of M. Krustaleff, the presi- dent of the executive committee of the workmen’s council, and the other St. Petersburg leaders, which, it was pointed out, was only of local impor- tance and did not furnish cause for a general strike. The resolution, how- ever, declared that it was the sacred duty of ail workmen to carry on the work begun by the arrested leaders of equipping and preparing the fighting legions of workmen for an armed up- rising. The sentiment of the workmen’s delegates, which was extremely de- pressed, has been somewhat raised by the receipt of a dispatch from Moscow claiming that the revolutionary pro- paganda has finally taken root among the Cossacks, the last hope of the re- action. The Third squadron of the First regiment of Don Cossacks is re- ported to have held a meeting and to have drawn up service demands, claiming that the men are fed like dogs and shabbily clothed. The gov- ernment officials were forced to de- prive the soldiers of their rifles and lances. This is the first sign of dis- affection on the part of the Cossacks. “The post and telegraph situation is steadily ameliorating, though no wires are working to points outside of Rus- sia and telegraphic communication with the interi ery taulty. FREIGHT THAFFIC SUSPENDED. Russian Razilroads Unable to Handle Consignments. Berlin, Dec. 13.—The government railway administration announces that freight traf th Russia is suspend- ed over a number of lines. The offi- cial explanation of this order to re- fuse freight destined for points on the lines mentioned, which include most of those in Russia, is that the order embodies notifications received from Russia during several days that freicht on this or that line could not be handled. General disorder is the general reason. Outside of the rail- way administration it is believed that the suspension of freight traffic is so large in parts of Russia as to serious- ly affect the economic conditions. With St. Petersburg and Southern Russia freight is handled almost as usual. JEWISH QUARTERS BURNING. Mob in Control of Russian Town of Elizabethgrad. Vienna, Dec. 13.—A dispatch to_the Neue Freie Pregse from Bucharest, Koumania, says: .
