THEIR MINISTERS AT TOXIC
Grand Celebration OF Notable Event
Postponed-The Situation Is One
of Extreme Gravity.

London, April 29.-The Times tomor-
row will publish dispatch from Kobe
saying that the Russian and German
ministers left Toxic for Kobe yester-
day. 1t is supposed that they intend
to seek an interview with Count Ito,
the president of the Japanese council
of ministers, and with Viscount Matsu,
the Japanese minister of foreign af-
fairs. The French minister is also ex-
pected there at the same time.
The Times correspondent in conclu-
sion says: II learn officially that Tues
days grand celebration of the 1,100th
anniversary of the founding of Koto has
of the Illness of the mikado. Evidently
the situation is grave"
OUR ATTITUDE is PLAIN.
Washington, April 29.-The attitude
Of the United States in the eastern
trouble has been made clear to the var
ious powers interested. In brief, it is
that the unvarying policy of this coun-
try is not to form alliances which may
involve 1t in complications with the
countries of Europe or Asia. 1t is re-
assertion of the policy of isolation,
except in so far as the United States
may be able to exercise a kindly or
advisory influence toward the adjust
ment of the trouble involving eastern
nations.
The foregoing is now accepted by
diplomats here as the policy which will
guide the United States in the pending
European complications over the ia
panese-China settlement. At one time
within recent days there was a pros
pect that the United States might CO.
operate with Great Britain and Italy
in endeavoring to effect a solution of
the Japenese-China trouble and the
belligerent protests of Russia, France
and Germany. Such action, if II had
been taken, would not have been in
the nature of assistance to Japan, but
merely an exertion of joint influence to
persuade China to ratify the peace
agreement. 1t is said by diplomats that
as Japan has already ratified the agree
ment, similar action by China would
make 1t effective. Therefore. while Rus
STA, France and Germany were protest
ing at Toxic, the desire of the other
powers was to bring to bear their in
/ fiuences at Pekin.
NOTES FROM YOKOHAMA.
/ Yokohama, April 29.-The mikado is
suffering from a chill.
The date of the departure of Count Ito
president of the Japanese council OF
ministers. for Chez Foo, to ratify the
treaty of peace, has not yet been de-
ternined upon.

Union Pacific Trying to Bluff the
Gulf People Out.
THE BURLINGTON ROAD IN 1T
Receiver Trumbull Is Altogether Too
Familiar With the Latter Road
10 Suit Receiver Clark.

Denver, Colo, April 2S.-Although
Receiver and General Manager S. S.
Clark of the Union Pacific has had an
order prepared to discontinue connec-
lions with the Julesburg branch of the
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf system,
1t has been withheld pending a confer
ence with Receiver Trumbull. The
complaint of the Union Pacific is that
the Gulf has been flirting too much
with the Burlington through the con-
nection at Julesburg with the Cheyenne
branch of the Burlington. For the pun
ishmenr of Trumbull for his alleged
disregard of the former close relation
ship between the Union Pacific and the
Gulf, Mr.. Clark had concluded to send
all Denver passenger business around
by way of Cheyenne and by withdraw
ing from the Julesburg connection,
leave Mr.. Trumbull with 100 miles of
track segregated from any other roll
road except it's Divorce, the Union Pa
ciflc. Receiver Trumbull does not seem
to have been disturbed by this. The
reason is said to be that by building
the 10 miles of track between Valley
and Kersey, or Grin station, he can
connect the Grin Junction & Cheyenne
branch of the Gulf road with the Jules
burg line and at Sterling the Gulf can
make connection with the Burlington
road. The Burlington branch from
Holdridge to Cheyenne win in turn re-
lieve the Cheyenne line from its posi-
ton at the mercy of the Union Pacific.
That such a combination with the
Burlington would be agreeable 10 both
lines there is no question. The coal
which the Gulf road commands is of the
highest Importance to the Burlington,
and as a feeder for coal, iron and agri-
cultural products the Gulf would become
4 under such combination most pow
erful ally to road which terminates at
Denver. That the Burlington could deal
with the Gulf without disturbing its
amicable relations with the Denver &
Rio Grande is entirely possible and it is
known that it has been coquetting with
the former cohort of the Union Pacific
with an eye to the ve-y combination
the proposed order of Mr.. Clark may
bring about at any time.
Mr.. Trumbull is attending to the con-
struction of a new line from Pueblo to
Trinidad which when completed viii
unite the lines to the south. He has re-
peatedly refused to talk about the pro-
posed action of the Union Pacific, but
consoles himself with the reflection that
the Union Pacific can not throw us off
the track" which significant remal X
may be open to many interpretations
The construction of the 10 miles from
Greeley would at least place the Gulf in
an Independent position, considering
the Burlington and Union Pacific. and
strengthen the line, so the cost of its
construction even in these times would
be but a mere bagatelle compared with
the results accomplished.

TO BE TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
Formal Charge Against Durant for the
Killing OF Miss Lamont

Killing of Miss Lamont
San Francisco, April 27.-Theodore
Durrant was taken from his cell in the
city prison today and formally charged
with the murder of Miss Blanche La
mont. He has grown very surly for the
past two days and made no effort to-
conceal his irritation this morning.
How much more are you going 10
charge me within" he growled at Detec-
tive Seymour, who swore to the COM
plant.
The prison officials are confident tina;
Durrants visitors bring him drugs
which enable him to sleep 12 hours
day. To the use of these opiates his
increasing irritability is ascribed. lie
is fast becoming what is known as an
undesirable and troublesome prisoner
Chief Crowley has ordered that IN
notice shall be taken of anything tie
prisoner says, the minor officials having
complained of Durrant's rudeness. Dur
rant is treated with the greatest consid-
GRAFTON. He occupies the most com
Portable cell in the prison, has been
permitted to receive visitors at all hours
and is not thrown in contact with 9th II
prisoners. The preliminary examination
in the Williams case will probably be
concluded on Tuesday and the inquest
in the Lamont case commences on the
following day.
Friends of Durrant still affect TO be-
lieve in his innocence, even promising
to solve the mystery of the murder
limiting the murders were the work of
middle-aged married resident of Chief
Mission, who has since disappeared
The plan of District Attorney Barnes
to try Durrant for the Lamont murder
first is generally commended. Consid-
cred alone. the Williams case is deemed
weak for the prosecution and with an
other case to be tried, a jury verdict Of
guilty would be doubtful The prosecu-
ton fears the moral effect Of an acquit-
tai in one case. The evidence in the
Lamont crime is considered much more
conclusive. 1t is probable that the
grand jury will be asked to indict Dur
rant for the Lamont murder. This
would render unnecessary preliminary
police court investigation.

Ansel Whites Relatives VIII Divide the
Tidy Sum of 100000.
Port Angeles, Wash, April 2S.-Ansel
White, the man referred to in recent
dispatches as being heir to a 50 200, 900
estate in New York, has been traced
to this county, where he died in May,
1888, on his ranch, located between this
city and Dungeness. During the past
two years Pierpont White, a son of
Ansel Whites nephew, has been search
ing for the lost heir or for conclusive
evidence of his death. He was traced
from his home in Utica, N. Y, to Mis-
souri,, from thence to California, where
all trace of him was lost.
The nephew then advertised in the
San Francisco papers, and from the
description c. H. Clapp of Seattle rec
ognized him in Ansel White, a rancher
of Dungeness. He Immediately tele-
graphed this information to Mr.. White
at San Francisco, and that gentleman
came to Port Angeles for the purpose Of
meeting County Auditor John W. Troy,
who for many years was a neighbor of
Ansel White. The identity of the dead
man was fully established during the
conversation between these gentlemen.

STRONG DRINK BROUGHT DISGRACE
A Relative Of the Jeromes Arrested on a
Charge of Grapd Larceny

Prescott, Ariz.. April Isl. r. Je-
rome has been committed to the county
jail here in default of $500 bonds to
await the action of the court on a charge
of grand larceny, the alleged theft of a
gold watch. Jerome is a well-educated
man and was at one time a prominent
citizen of New York, a near relative to
the celebrated Jerome x. Jerome and
Leonard Jerome Of that place and of
Churchill of England. Jerome's appe-
tite for strong drink would get the bet
ter Of him at frequent intervals and he
would go on a spree, but this is the first
charge of a serious nature against him.

WALLER CASE MAY BE INVESTIGATED
Ambassador Eustcs Has Had Instructions
From Secretary Gresham.

Paris. April 29.-The United States
ambassador has received pointed and
definite instructions from Washington
regarding the case of John L. Waller.
imprisoned in France, under d 20 years
sentence imposed by court-martial on
the ground that he was in collision with
the Hovas. Eustis has referred his in
structions to the French minister Of
foreign affairs, NJ. Hanotaux, but the
latter has not yet replied. The forego-
ing would indicate that the United
States government has received from
Madagascar the report of the United
States consul regarding Walters case
and that the conclusions drawn from it
justify such Intervention and will pos
sibly result in a fresh joint inquiry.

A EUGENE oREssMAkER INDICTED
Charged With Sending Objectionable Mat.
ter Through the Mails.

Ter through the Mails.
Portland. Or. April 27.-Miss Mary
Berger the Eugene dressmaker, was to-
day indicted by the federal grand jury
on seven counts for sending lewd and
lascivious matter through the mails
The grand jury declared the letters too
vile to be read to the court. Berger is
believed to be. the author of these epis-
ties, which NE excited Eugene people
for year.
Miss Berger's case is one Of the most
remarkable ever investigated by the
postal authorities. Letters written to
prominent people scandalized her own
character and connected her name with
that of DR.. j. s. Mckinney, "A Eugene
physician. 1t is said that Miss Berger
was infatuated with Mckinney and
sought this peculiar method to separate
him from his wife. Many of the letters
were signed MRS. J. S. Mckinney"
and in February the doctors wife was
arrested for the offense. Miss Berger's
indictment is the result of a long inves-
tigation.

PowDERLEYs PICTURE TORN UP
Manistee, Mich, knights of Labor Wreck
Vengeance on a Portrait.

Vengeance on Portrait.
Manistee. Mich. April 2S.-Up to a
few weeks ago a life-like picture of ex-
General Master Workman Powderly of
the knights of Labor. enclosed in a
handsome frame, occupied conspicu-
Gus position in the lodge room of local
assembly lab of this city. OF this body
Thomas Hines is master workman. He
is also rector of the Episcopal church Of
the Holy Trinity, and as such Is sup
posed to preach and to practice the
scriptural doctrine of forbearance and
charity toward all. Through the thick
wall Of secrecy that surrounds the do
ings of the assembly, however, the fact
has percolated that at a recent meeting
over which the reverend master work
man presided the picture ui Mr.. Powder
ly was torn from the wall, the frame and
its enclosure transformed into frag-
ments and the whole consigned to the
stove with which the lodge room was
heated. This development has created
great Indignation in local labor circles,
but the reverend rector is not one whit
abashed thereat. In a letter to the gen
eral executive board of the order, en-
phasizing the loyalty of the assembly
to the present administration, he de-
nounces the promoters of the new in
dependent order of the Knights of La
Dor as traitors and the order itself as a
bastard"
Il swing out the red light as a dan
ger signal" says this reverend and &C.
clesiastical laborite, "for the enemy is
near at hand. and ready to close in upon
us in a life and death struggle for the
victory. So perish all traitors. Eternal
smash to all the enemies Of labor, and
may God wither the. arm and palsy the
tongue that to this sentiment dare not
say amen"

NO ALIEN CAN BUY OUR BOATS
Sale of the Steamer Hassler Rejected on
Peculiar Grounds.

Tacoma, April 2S.-When the coast
geodetic survey steamer Hassler, which
had been at work on the coast 20 years,
was offered for sale here, Captain John
Irving of Victoria, b. c., was the high
est bidder, at $3.50. The treasury de-
partment has rejected the bid on en-
tirely unexpected and peculiar grounds.
Word received here today from Wash
ington city states that under no cir
cumstances would a vessel of this gov
eminent be sold to aliens. Irving was
formerly a citizen of this country, but
recently is said to have declared allie
glance to Queen Victoria. Irving was
formerly manager on Puget sound for
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.

San Francisco, April 2S.-The city Of
ficers are unable to solve the problem
of how to tide over the city's financial
distress until the beginning of the next
fiscal year, June /. While the mayor
the supervisors and the heads of de-
partments were wrestling with the sub
ject yesterday, the supreme court was
engaged in writing a decision reaff'rm-
ing its former decisions to the effect
that the expenses of one year may not
be paid out of the revenue of another
In other words, the city can not mort
gage its future, although the expense
of maintaining the fire department and
public institutions for the remaining
two months Of the fiscal year will be
S125000, to meet which there is practi-
cally nothing in the treasury.
Taken together W IN the refusal Of the
contractors to furnish supplies to hos
pitfalls, almshouses and county jails after
April 80, this is a condition of affairs
that has caused the financial commit
tee to do a great deal of figuring to
give means for carrying on the func-
tons of the government.
AS the salary demands Of each month
amount to $135,00O, it was proposed that
the employees of the city should forego
y the drawing of their salaries for April
until May 20. This plan does not meet
with the approval of the employees. AT

St. Paul, Mimi, April 9.-Regarding

Dakota and the sending of troops from

Minneapolis. April pa Journal
special says: The reported uprising of
Turtle Mountain Indians is very largely
exaggerated. Many Indians were ar

Bismarck in an attempt upon the part
of government officials to make fat fees.
The marshals last week arrested half
breed, who was promptly rescued by
friends. The marshals went to Fargo
and secured an additional force to re-
arrest this man. The reds says if he is
arrested again there will be trouble.
Canadian half-breeds are fomenting the
