The Chicago In bune to-morrow will f-ay: Details are be- ing worked out rapidly for the formation of a gigantic railroad combination. GENERAL KUROKI A dozen Eastern financiers, headed by the Standard Oil interest- with their unlimited wealth, expect to control th? entire railroad systems in the country and prevent competition among the various roads.

The plan is to divide the railroad.s the country into a few groups or systems, each one of which is to own a substantial interest in the stock and securities of every other big group t-ystem, and all to have representation on each other's board of directors. An S8.KX,MM,(KM Trnut The dozen financiers, all represented on the boards of the various will control, from present appearances, over K5U--0C miles of railroads, including every important trunk line in the country, representing a capitalization of about 000,000,000 in stocks and bonds.

According to his version, the splinter of a shell struck General Kuroki, tearing out a portion of his breast and abdomen.

He died October 4 at Liao-Yang and his body sent to Japan. A rumor is persistently circulated that a kinsman of the Mikado, Siaosanai, literally "little third has been appointed to succeed General Kuroki, but the actual command of the army has been intrusted to General Nodzu, who is reviewing operations.

The Indians were never really dangercus. although twice during the" latter part of the second half they might have tried for field goals.

Their one good drop kicker had been bent to 'the hospital, however, and the attempts were not made. Every man upon the Pennsylvania team had a share in the triumph over the Indians. Their daring tackles, fierce plunges and clever runs made the game a most interesting one from the spectators' viewpoint. But from the first it was evident to the experts that the Pennsylvania men were not in the best of physical condition. Many of the men seemed to be playing largely on nerve, and before the close of the game many substitutes were necessary.

It would be unfair to single out any one or two players on the Pennsylvania team as being worthy of special credit, but to the spectators the work of Stevenson wa? the spectacular feature of the day, and on all sides it is admitted that Pennsylvania has in him the star quarter-back of the year, and that his generalship promises to be a source of great strength to the Eed and Blue teams of the next three years. Three times during the first half of the game Stevenson alone stood between ar Indian runner and the Pennsylvania goal line, which it is the hope of the players to keep from being crossed this season. In each of the three tackles the Indian runner was nailed by a flying tackle whi at full speed with a field clear of all but Penn's little quarter-back.
