exospt in the case OF the Shasta route,
where the advance will be only $3.50.

ing $lO.75. THE action, the roads claim,
10 not an elevation OF the rates. but q
restoration of the tariff which was in
effect bsfore the present Generalization
began. This change on the Utah and
Colorado rates, which becomes effective
at once, carries with it the restoratian
OF the old local rates between Colorado
and Utah poinss to the same basis in
the same proportion "a the through
rates.
The general meeting Of the western

tinental lines got together today practi-
cally removes all the obstacleE in the

UNCLE SAM AND BRAZIL,
Correspondence About the Ending
Reciprocity Arrangements.

Correspond sEcs About the Ending of
Reciprocity Arrangements.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Tha president
has sent to the senate the cor
respondence with the Brazilian
minister here in reference to the
time of the termination of the Bra.
lillian reciprocity arrangements, about
which there hNs been some controversy.
The correspondence begins with a note
to Secretary Gresham from Minister
Mendonca, dated September Oath last,
in which the minister notifies the secre'
tary that his government had informed
Mr.. Thomson. United States minister ct
Rio de Janeiro OF it's intention to termi-
nate the agreement in accordance with
the stipulation therein contained regard
ing its duration, 80 that the terminations
shall take effect January l, 1906.
In his response, under date OF October
26, Secretary Gresham com mnents on the
fact that the Brazilian government
deeme it necessary 20 terminate the
treaty on January Let. He says the act
OF August 2S lsst repealed the agree.
ments where they were inconsistent!
with its provisions. Consequently no.
tice of an intention TO terminate them
was not contemplated and wac unneces-
aary by reason of their immediate
termination. The minister's note. how
ever. seems to imply that the United
States and Brazil have filed and con-
tracted An obligation not to terminate
the arrangement, except in the manner
stipulated in the negotiations leading up
to it. The secretary proceeds to discuss
that question at some length.
In conclusion he says the friendly dis.
position of this government towards
Brazil is sttested by this present tariff
legislation, placing the great bulk OF
Brazilian exports on the free list, while
our imports from Brazil from 1890 to
1898 increased to the extent Of nearly
$17, 100000 in value and our exports rc
that country in 1898 show an increase
OF leas than half million dollars over
1890.

AN IMPUDENr TELEGR

Governor west of Utah Insulted by an
Indian gent.
SALT LAKE, Uta b, Dec. 5.-Governor
West has received from Indian Agent
Day at Ignaco what he considers to be
an impudent telegram, asking that
nothing be done to provoke trouble with
the Ute Indiana in San Juan county.
The governor has forwarded the tele-
gram to the secretary OF the interior,
with the additional information that he
has furnished arms and ammunition to
the unarmed citizens for their protec.
ton, until some. higher authority takes
the matter up.
Official anxiety was plainly manifest
at the executive mansion today over the
apparent inaction OF the proper authori-
ties to move in the matter OF the Indian
invasion from Colorado. The governor
this morning received communication
from the sheriff of Grand county, ap-
pealing for protection and asking for
arms and ammunition.
The governor has decided to furnish
arms and ammunition to the citizens if
necessary for protection. As q last re-
sort the militia will be called out.

the Germans have not succeeded in
proving the oil from the seed fit for food

The consul marks the progress OF this

paragraph:
II hoped to be able to report that
there was sincere desire on the part OF
the German people to join the people OF
the Unit ed States in mutual effort for

with rece MT edicts against American

the statement of the German contention
in reference to the discrimination
against the importation in the United
States OF German sugars. to which ref.
erence was made in his message to con-
gress. The statement is in the form Of

by the Wilson act on sugars imported

A LIFE INSURANCE sW|NDLE
Arizona Furnishes a Big
Sensation.
One of the Most Remarkable Cases
on Record.
Arrest OF - Man Who Incurred HE Lifs
for $4,000 aud Committed
Murder to Secure
the Money.

BY the Associated Press
Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 5.-Among the
Huachuca mountains, at what 10 called
Salvation Army camp, about 40 miles
from Tucson, Q man was arrested Mon.
day last whom the authorities have
been bounding for years. 1t was John
w. Hillman and the capture Was made
by Sam w. Finley, deputy collector Of
customs at Nogales, and Orren Gemm i'll.
under sheriff OF La Junts. 1t ia one of
the most remarkable casss in the annals
OF crime.
Back in 1879 Hillman and two COM
panions, one OF whom resembled him
cry closely. took q trip into the Buffalo
mountains to- hunt. They were gone
several weeks and when they returned
the man bearing 90 striking resem-
blancs to him failed to accompany thcm.
1t seems that Hillman. who carried an
insurance on his lie of $50. 900, while in
the mountains conceived q murderous
scheme and proceeded to carry it into
execution. He killed in cold blood the
man who closely resembled him. and
then, returning to the settlement. he
took the name OF the man he had
murdered and said that Hill
man had been accidently shot
dead and buried up in the mountains.
In due time Mrs. Hillman made claim
to different insurance companies in
which her husband had been insured
for $4,000. The insurance people be-.
came suspicious and began an investi-
CATION. The remains of the man whom
Hillman had put out OF the way
were exhumed and the discovery was
made that they were not the
remains of Hillman. Mrs. Hill
man instituted legal proceedings in the
courts of Topeka, Kan, her home, to
recover the amount OF the insurance.
The case was carried from one court to
another till finally she secured judg-
ment for the principal. interest and at
torney fees in the supreme court of the
United States. According to the order
of the court the Judgment must be sat
isfed at the end of this year.
During all this time the insurance
companies kept detectives on the trail
of Hillman. who disappeared shortly
after his wife made claim for insurance.
He was followed to Australia and other
foreign countries. A reward of 10000
was offered for bis apprehension, dead
or alive. On the 4th of last month
Under Sheriff Gsmmill arrived ia this
territory from Colorado and interested
Sam Finley in the case. Gem
mill had learned thst Hillman
was in Sonora. He and Finley
took the murderer's trail as Msgdalepa,
Sonora. and followed him to Altar, So.
nora; thence to Prescott. Ariz.. Mesa
City, Old Glory camp, and 70 Salvation
Army camp in the Huaohucas, where he
was arreeted. Hitlman denied he was
the right party when told by the officers
what they wanted him for. He was
taken to Tombstone, where he is held
pending the arrival of extredition pa.
pers from the governor of Kansas.
