Cattle Escape Easily,

DEADWOOD, S. D., Feb. 1S.-(Special y
G. e. Lemmen, superintendent of the Sheid-
ley Cattle company, states that the cattle
of his company passed through the recent
cold weather in good condition. His cattle
have their range $50 miles northwest of this
city, on the Moreau river. The snow has
been LIGHT all the winter and the cattle
have been able to secure their own feed
from the grass No cattle were reported
frozen to death thus far in his district Mr..
Lemmen states that there will be very few
cattle brought north from Texas this year,
owing to the high price asked, which is even
higher now than last year.
Reports have come in from some of the
other large cattle companies in this same
district, and there seems to have been little
suffering among the cattle.

Escnpc from Jail.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 1S.-(Special
Telegram. )-Something of a sensation was
created here this afternoon by the arrest
of Deputy Sheriff Paul Meyer of this (Mn-
nehaha) county by the federal authorities
on the charge of permitting United States
prisoner to escape from the Sioux Falls
Jail The arrest is the result of a state
ment made by Otto Weber, in open court
at Deadwood a few days ago, that he had
paid 500 for the privilege of escaping from
the Sioux Falls Jail last fall while await
ing trial on the charge Of making and pass
ing counterfeit money, Webber was ac-
quilted of this charge at Deadwood and after
making the statement regarding his escape
from Jail here the federal grand jury re-
turned an indictment against Deputy Sheriff
Meyer. who is alleged to be the person to
whom 500 was paid.
1t is said that Webber made a similar
proposition for his release to Sheriff Oium
Of Brookings county while confined in the
Brookings county Jail, Meyer this evening
furnished 81, 900 bond for his appearance at
the April term of the United States court
here. Until this case is disposed Of, the
charge of perjury preferred by Sheriff
Donahoe against Weber, growing out of the
Iatter's disclosures at Deadwood, will be
held in allegiance.

LONDON Feb. 1S.-The scheme Of Rear
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford for the set
tlement of the far eastern question By the
formation OF a league to be composed of the
United States, Great Britain, Germany and
Japan, as cabled here from the United
States, has not aroused enthusiasm in Great
Britain.
The Spectator characterized the plan as
futile and needless as it is immoral"
1t then proceeds to argue that neither
of the powers is prepared to provide an
army to resist a Russian invasion.
Great Britain would feel through all Its
veins that a Russian conquest of northern
China had indefinitely increased the Sc
curity of the Indian empire by at once alb
sorbng Russian means and satisfying Rus
sian ambition, while America. which is only
seeking trade, has no army to throw away
The work would have to be left to China
and its new-made army which will require
half of a century of victory to make II
equal to Russian army.

lines of cheering and shouting brokers.
After the gallery had been reached Presi-

was given a chance to hear his own voice
and he spoke a few words Of thanks.
