CONDITION OF THE FARMERS.
Government Should Restrain Rail
roads and Suppress Trusts.

Government Should Restrain Rail-
roads and Suppress Trusts.
Washington, March 14.-National
Grange Master Aaron Jones of Indiana
was before the industrial commission
today. He expressed the opinion that
TRANSFORMATION was the most important
question with which the farmers had
to deal, and he believed rates should be
made by an independent commission,
and that the railroad companies should
rot be allowed to arbitrarily fix rates.
He also asserted that the trusts should
be controlled, and expressed the hope
that the commission would devise leg
islation to that end. He thought our
consuis abroad should interest them
selves in the agricultural products OF
the country as much as in its manufac-
turing interests.
Another reform suggested was the
lowering OF the salaries of government
officials. y remember" he said, when
the salaries of congressman We're in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, this in
crease was made on the plea that the
purchasing power of the dollar had de-
creased Now that there has been an
increase in the purchasing power, We
hear of no agitation for a reduction of
salaries"
Mr.. Jones asserted that the farmer is
unfairly and inequitably taxed, one
fourth TO one-third of the income of the
average Indiana farm being necessary
to pay the taxes levied upon it. He sug-
gested legislation looking to uniformity
in taxation in the different states. He
was favorable to uniform income tax,
but opposed the inheritance tax.

has been issued over the signature of
more than score of prominent men.
The preamble described the attitude
of this government and of President
Mckinley towards the F'ilipinos before
and since the war and asserts that
there is no reason for a change of opin-
ion on the part of the anti-imperial-
lists and on the contrary, every reason
for a continuance of the protest against
the spirit of militarism and force and
they therefore urge cooperation to the
following ends:
"First-That our government shall
take immediate steps toward a suspen-
sion of hostilities in the Philippines
and conference with the Philippine
leaders with a view to preventing fur
ther bloodshed upon the basis of a rec
ognition of their freedom and indepan-
denee as soon as proper guarantees can
be had of order and protection to prop
erty.
"Second-That the government of the
United States shall tender an official
assurance to the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands that they will en-
courage and assist in the organization
of such a government in the islands as
the people thereof shall prefer and
LndC upon It's organization IN stable
manner the United States, in accord
ance with its traditional policy in such
cases, will recognize the Independence
of the Philippines and its equality
among nations and gradually withdraw
all naval and military forces

EMPEROR WILLIAMS ARMY.
Reichstag Rejects Government De.
mand For An Increase.

Berlin, March 14.-During the discus
sion of the second army bill in the
reichstag today, the minister of war;
General Won Gessler said the measure
was a factor in favor of unity, adding
that the defense of the fatherland was
no party question. The bill, he contin-
ued. had been altered in committee,
but he hoped the reichstag would re-
store it to its original shape The re-
duction of the peace effective by 1000
men, he added, was of vital import
apce, and he could not accept the re-
duction, as the present state of the
battalions was prejudicial to the eff
ficiency of the army.
The war minister then appealed to
the patriotism of the reichstag, asking
that body to grant the governments
demands in its entirety. The reichstag
later, by vote of 209 to III rejected
the army increase demanded by the
government The government COM
mittee's proposal was also rejected
The Center and Freiesinige Union
voted with the minority.
The rest of the army bill was adopted
without debate. It's third reading will
take place on Thursday. In the mean
time the members of the reichstag will
be able to weigh the government s
statements before finally voting.
During the discussion preceding
the vote, the imperial chancellor,
Prince Won Hohenlohe. replying to a
speech made by a member of the Peo-
pies party, declared that Emperor
Williams guiding principle was solicit
tude for the safety of the empire, adj
ding that his sense of responsibility
for it's safety was strongly present

Other bills We're approved as follows;
Senate bill No. 115, an act to amend
section 1853 of the revised statutes, as
amended by a re-enacted act OF the fifth
session. 1t relates to the redemption
of property sold for taxes and provides
if the property is not redeemed within
two years from sale the collector or his
successor in office must make to the
purchaser or his assignee upon demand
by him, a deed to the property recitinS
in the deed substantially the matters
contained in the certificate, and that
no person redeemed the property dur
ing the time allowed by law for its re-
demption. The collector is entitled to
receive from the purchaser 81 for max
ing such deed.
Senate bill No. 112. amending the act
relative to the taking Of dispositions.
1t provides that the adverse party shall
be allowed one day for each twenty
miles travelled from the usual place of
abode to the place of taking the depo-
sition, not to exceed in all thirty days.
Senate bill No. SO, providing that all
poll tax money be placed in the county
current expense fund. The old law gave
a third of it to the state.
Substitute for senate bill No. 81, re-
lating to mechanics and material mems
liens.
The governor vetoed two bills. One,
house bill No. 1913, provided for road
district elections to vote special tax for
general road purposes. The governor
objected to it because it would make
uniform roads in the counties impoSsi-
BILE pointing out that the state had
during the past ten years expended
100000 in road building without any
adequate results and pointing out that
unless there was systematic work
similar amount might be spent in the
next ten years without good results.
The other house bill No. 365, fixed the
poll tax at 50, when paid before and at
SO when paid after the date for delin-
quency, and contained a provision COM
polling employers to furnish the tax
collector with lists of his employees
subject to poll tax. The governor re-
luctantly vetoed the bill because the
word employee" was used for 'em-
ployer," and on account of other mis-
takes that might lead to confusion.

HORRIBLE CRIME CONFESSED
HOW BUTCHER BECKER MUIR
DERED HIS WIFE.
Struck Her On the Head With
Ratchet and Burned the Body In
the Stove.

Chicago, March i4.-August Becker,
the sausage maker, who has been un-
der arrest for four weeks on a charge
of numbering his wife, made a full con-
fession tonight He said that he cut
his wife to pieces and burned the re-
mains in a stove. Becker, when first
arrested, admitted killing his wife, but
declared that he pushed her off Ran
dolph Street viaduct into the lake and
that she was drowned.
In his confession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking heron the
head With Ratchet in the kitchen of
his home. He then cut the body to
pieces and boiled it in a large
kettle. After watching the disin
tegration of the remains for several
hours, and when nothing was left that
resembled q, human body, Becker says
he took what remained and burned it
in a red-hot stove, the fire having been
prepared by him. The bones, which
would not burn, he buried on the prai-
RE near his home. January q was the
date Becker says he committed the
murder. He asserts that the crime
was not premeditated. but that he
quarreled with his wife on the after
noon of that date, and in the heat of
passion he struck her on the head with
the hatchet. Only one blow was needed
to cause death and after that had been
struck, the sausage-maller says he
thought of the way to dispose of the
remains of his wife in order to destroy
ali chances of detection.
The piece of lung and portion of
calico dress which were found under
the barn, and which the police believed
to be strong evidence against Becker,
he says could not be any part of the
body of his wife, as he is certain that
he destroyed every particle of flesh, and
he maintains the dress which she wore
was also burned.

The distinguished visitors were immed-
lately driven to Senator Hanna's house

children called upon President and Mrs.
Mckinley and presented them with a
large tray of vioiets, having the word

RELEASE OF PRISONERS.
Our Government Discharging It's OBJ
LEGATIONS Under the Treaty.

Washington, March 14.-General Otis,
in forbidding further negotiations be
tween the Spanish at Manila and the
insurgents touching the surrender Of
the Spanish prisoners held by the lat
ter. acted on his own authority. The
government has not sent him any in
structions upon this point, but it VIII
unquestionably support him to the ex-
IRENE in any action of any kind he
may take. 1t is said at the state de-
partment that there have been eX-
changes between the United States and
Spain through indirect channels touch
ing these particular prisoners, dating
back to the signature of the peace pro-
tocol last August The United States
government undertook finally to secure
the release of the prisoners. 1t never
contemplated trying to secure their re-
lease through ransom, but simply
through the suppression OF the inSur-
rection, and cannot be held by any re-
quirement Of international law tC do
more than has been done to secure the
release of the prisoners. There Will be
no relaxation of the efforts in this di-
rection, but as the United States cam
paign in the Philippines is being con-
Quoted with all the energy possible, and
as the release of the prisoners depends

can De no Complaint OF IdlluIe OH lut
part of the United States to meet its
obligations
In preventing the Spanish govern
ment from negotiating direct with the
insurgents, it is said here General Otis
was undoubtedly correct in his atti-
tude. Inasmuch as the ratification of
the peace treaty has not been effected,
the United States and Spain are techni-
caIly in a state of war. qualified only
by the operation of the protocol sus-
pending hOstilities. In this condition
there is no authority on the part of the
Spaniards to negotiate with the insur-
gents without the explicit consen of the
United States. Under the rules of war
alone there would be still ample war
rant for any action General Otis might
take calculated to prevent the insur-
gents from receiving supplies of food,
clothing. munitions of war or money,
for the latter can always with more or
less difficulty be resolved into the for
mer. even in the face of a blockade. If
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs
feels called upon to address himself re-
specting this subject to the state de-
partment directly or indirectly he I'M
dOubtedly would be informed that Cen
eral Otis must be sustained, though re-
assured as to the intentions of the Unit
ed States to use all proper efforts to
carry out it's undertakings.

INDIAN TROUBLE THREATENED.
Leech Lake Tribe Ready For Another
Outbreak.

Minneapolis. Mimi, March 14.-Mich-
ael Gogins, a well known and conserva-
tive pine cruiser, says that the Leech
Lake Indians are in an ugly temper,
and ready for any sort of deViltry. They
have been holding councils two or three
times week, and the proceedings are
kept very quiet. The Indians griev-
ance is based on a fear that after pros
pective pine sales are over they will
still be in debt, something that has been
known to happen before. Gogins says
the Indians could muster, in case of
trouble, fully 1900 fighting men, nearly
all armed. The government has lately
ordered the two companies of the Sew
enth infantry away from Fort Smelling,
and the state has now no available mill
itary force, except newly organized mi
