The packers have been given to un derstand, It Is said, that It Is up to them to disprove positively the alls gallons of Roosevelt’s commissioners. Csn't Afford to Refuts. Any refusal of the beef trust to give the foreign government agents Infor matlon they seek will result In a re port to their government that "the beef trust has failed to disprove the charges,” which will mean the barring of the Chicago stock yards' product from that country.

Another report on the conditions In the packing plants Is In course of prep aration In the office of Baron Srhilp- tienbach, the Russian consul.
