CONFESSION UF A BOY.

Consideration.

He Was Induced to Commit Murder For .
Consideration.
MEDoRA, N. D., Jan. "A horrible
story was told to the coroner's jury
concerning the death of Ed Sever
son, who was shot at Mark Wads-
worth's ranch on Dec. 81. The boy,
Fred Roehm, bright l6-year-old lad,
who has been in custody for several
days. suspected of the murder, had
made q partial confession to Clerk of
the Court Foley. To the coroner's
jury he made clean breast of it, and
said that his employer, Wadsworth,
took him in the early dawn into the
barn and promised the boy $500 to
shoot Severson. He told him
When to Pull the Trigger
and the deed was done. The story was
dramatic and told by the boy quietly
and clearly, but he burst into tears
when the climax was reached. Wads-
worth himself followed the boy and de-
MED the whole story. Wadsworth is
partially paralyzed, and the boy says
the old man could not pull the trigger
himself. The prosecution believes it
has found a motive in the claim that
Wadsworth owed Severson money.
Wadsworth is under arrest.

CLOSES EUROPEAN MARKETS.
Great Britain the Only Country Now Re-
ceiving Our Beef.

Great Britain the Only Couatry Now Re-
ceiving Our Beef.
CHICAGO. Jan. 4. -Nelson Morris has
received cablegram from his agent at
Antwerp that the Belgian government
has prohibited the importation Of live
cattle from the United States on the
ground that pleuro-pneumonia is pre-.
valent in this country. This closes all
the ports of continental Europe against
American cattle and beef products, and
leaves the exporter only the British
market, which in its present condition
is not desirable one. This is in addi-
tion to the embargo on dressed beef
and packed goods, which has been in
force in most of the European countries
tor some time.
According to Mr.. Morris, Belgium is
merely following tAe,le~2 Of Austria,
Germany, France and other European
nations in taking retaliatory measures
against the United States for the aboli-
ton of the reciprocity treaty, under
which their sugar industry prospered.

OUTLET FOR our FLOUR.

An Unexpected Demand Comes From the
Chinese Empire.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 4.-Samuel Hill
has returned from an extended trip to
the Pacific coast. He reports business
in Montana as prosperous. He says
that at Spokane all the -four mills are
running night and day on orders from
China. This is an interesting fact, as
it is a new outlet for American flour.
China has heretofore subsisted on rice
almost exclusively. Flour is now be-
ing used in small quantities as a sub
stitute. If the demand should grow in
any preceptible degree the population
of China being so very large, it would
soon become a very important factor
in the demand for the American cereal.

MINISTER DENeY's OPINION.

Peace Negotions Between China and Japan
Will Be Fruitless.
LONDON. Jan. "a dispatch to The
Times from Pekin says that the Chi
nese envoy to negotiate for peace with
Japan had a farewell audience with
the emperor on Friday. Japan refuses

negotiations will be fruitless. The
Japanese will withhold their terms for
peace until they shall have occupied
Pekin. Japanese landing parties are
busy exploring the bays on the east
coast of the province of Shang-Tung.

NOW TT IS AUSTRIA.
MORE KICKS ARE MADE ON THE
SUGAR SCHEDULE.

The Tariff War With European Countries
IL Reaching an Acute Stage and Some
thing Must He Done-Frano~ Said to
Also Be Getting Ready to Retaliate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
has reached an acute phase. As fore
Swallowed in the Associated Press dis
patches last week. the very first official
act of Mr.. Henglemueller. tho new Aus
trian minister, was the lodgment OF .
protest against that paragraph for .
sugar schedule act which imposes an
additional duty of one.tenth of cent
on sugar coming to the United States
from countries which pay an export
bounty on it. This action was taken
during the day and the ground takei;
by the minister was similar to that
which formed the basis of the protest
of Germany-that additional duty paid
Discriminates Against Austria
and is consequently a violation Of the
treaty of commerce with that nation.
So far no threat of retaliation accom-
panied the protest, but in this Mr.:
Henalemueller is but following the ex-
ample set by the German minister,
and the next step will undoubtedly be
in the same direction, namely, the i'm
position of some restriction upon an
American product that is imported in
quantities into Austria.
The four great sources of our sugar
supply, outside of the small proportion
contributed by Louisiana, are Cuba,
Germany, France and Austria. With
three of these countries we are already
At Odds Over the Sugar Duty,
and in the case of France there are al
ready indications of the adoption of a
retaliatory policy in the imposition of
restrictions upon our meat trade and
the importation of American wheat
and flour. This whole subject was un-
der discussion by the cabinet, and as
far as can be gathered the outcome, if
congress fails to come to the relief of
the executive by the removal of the
duty which is supposed to cause the
trouble, then resort must be had to re-
taliation, which will either open Euro
pean countries to our exports or close
our own ports to all European products.
