Chicago, April Sit Is reported that
the cattle raisers of the west will per-
feet an organization during the com,
ing season to fight the dressed beef
combine. The recent advance in the
price of beef has incelsed instead of
notifying them. They claim that they
are only getting a small Ii wholly in

taking the most of it, and leaving them
an insignificant end of the gain. Cat
tie raisers are now %devoting themselves
to the consideration of a scheme for es-
tablishing markets at Chicago, Omaha,
ST. Louis, Kansas City, New York and
other points for the sale of cattle for
culture delivery, sales to be made ac-
cording to recognized grades and de-
scriptions. They claim that under ex-
sting methods they are absolutely at
the mercy of the combine, being obliged
to accept whatever price may be named

the n of the contest selling at a
heavier sacrifice than would have been
first incurred. They argue that they
can keep their stock on their ranges
and farms cheaper than at the other
end of the line, n that they need not
contract to deliver their property at a
future date, until satisfactory prices
can be obtained. In order to insure
competition in bidding for cattle fut-
ures,'' the scheme is said to compre-
hend the establishing of packing houses
and distributing depots, as well as
necessary machinery for the exporta-
ton of the product, so as to get fin
touch with consumers at home and
abroad.
This sort of thing has been talked
about in an indefinite fashion for q
good while. but it is stated on appar-
emily the best of authority h a the

an indictment against Arthur Mckee

sNuBBED BY THE sPANlARDs'
Authorities Ignore Demands Made by
Secretary Gresham.

A8AOAS - y
Secretary Gresham.
Washington, April 6.-Have the Cuban
authorities ignored the demand of the
state department for the immediate
release of the American sailors con-
fined in the filthy prison of Santiago de
Cuba?
This is a question of grave Ind imme-
date Importance to the authorities
here. AS stated some days ago the state
department sent rigid and positive in
structions to Consul Hyatt at Santiago
de Cuba directing that he at n de-
mand he release of these prisoners.
This was April 1. No response has yet
been received at the ssste department
and In consequence the officials are ex-
ercised over the delay. Fortnight
hours is the limit of time within which
the state department permits the Span
ish authorities, under the peculiar law
on the statute books OF their country,
to keep an American citizen in military
confinement without bringing him to
civil trial. This time has more than
elapsed and the authorities are curious
and anxious to know what has been
done with the prisoners. If Consul
Hyatt is not heard from soon there will
hocooAS NC clH luIlIleI imperative
instructions to that officer. (
An official of the department says
h administration will use the most
extreme measures to secure the liberia
ton of these men, or at least their
freedom from military imprisonment
and trial by the civil authorities. Not
wfthstanding that martial law has been
declared throughout the islands Sec
tary Gresham still rigldly adhere to
the stand he took some time age against
the trial by military authority Of Amer
lean prisoners not actually participants
in the revolution, with arms in their
possession at the time of their arrest.
The official reports bear out the state
ments which have already been Eade
to the effect hat the two sailors, Au-
gust Billion n Gustav Richelieu, both
holding American papers. arrived at
Santiago de Cuba in a small boa in dis
tress and We're Immediately arrested
and locked up. The most that the Gu
ban authorities have charged is that
they suspected the two men of having
landed a revolutionary party on the
coast. 1t is reported that the Spanish
military officers have resorted to the
most cruel practices to extort confess
sions from the two prisoners. If this
should prove true the Spanish authors
ties will be called for something more
than an explanation.

Independence, Mo-, April 9.-The elders
and delegates who are attending the con-

Christ. Latter Day Saints, here. spent to-
day attending the different services ar
for the Sabbath. The first service
was the social meeting at 8 d. M. conduct
ed by Elders Pitt and Rogers. 1t was fol-
lowed at II O'Clock by the annual sermon
delivered by the venerable head of the
church. Joseph Smith. The sacrament was
administered during the morning service.
There is always the greatest OF interest in
the service conducted by the aged presi-
dent. and this one, being held int the church
SO near the site of the Temple lot, where
the new temple is to be erected, was espe-
cially interesting and impressive. The
saints attending the conference feel that
the general public has been preindiced
against them and their church on account
of the departure of a certain section OF the
church from the original doctrines of the
church. In speaking on this subject, Elder
Sheehy said:
1--WE are not we'll understood in many
places, and people have a feeling against
us tina proper Information will certainly
remove. We believe that God is too good
to damn humanity. and we believe that lfl-
manity is very much too good to be
damned. Our doctrines are in many re-
spects not very different from those Of
other churches. We have some points
similar to the Presbyterian church., and
others similar to the Episcopal church,
We have a theology plainly defined, and
our teachings are for the b%etterment OF
humanity and the promotion of all good
The services of the conference will con
tinue during the week. Each morning
there will be religious exercises and each
afternoon business sessions and preaching
at night. There are some important bust.
ness matters coming up during the week.
