A BASIS OF SETTLEMENT
The Clearwater Trouble Is Prac.
tically Settled.
THERE WILL BE NO FIGHT
Tho Line From Lewiston to Portland,
Would Have Been Over Easy Grades.
Last Year Was the Best the
Northern Pacific Ever Had.

Spokane, Wash. Aug 1.-THE special
wall street correspondent of the
Spokesman-R Review says:
President Melen of the Northern Pa
ciffc, who will attend the compsnys an
nual meeting in New York Friday. saws
the Clearwater trouble is practically
settled
He says: We have done more than
agreed on truce for months. We have
even begun to reach a basis of settle
ment We are working on plans for
settlement right along and there will be
no fight in the Clearwater country. I
always insisted there would be none,
We would have had far less trouble
mad the newspapers not made so much
of the trouble. which was bad enough
as 1t was. There are many details to
be worked out, and it may be some
time before a final settlement is ac-
comnlshed."
The basis of settlement must have
been agreed upon in New York since
Mr. Hartman returned.
Mr.. Mellen was asked regarding the
line he threatened to build from Lewis
ton to Portland and said:
Should we have had to build that
line we would have had easy grades
most of the way, contrary to a general
impression. We would have built along
the south side of the Columbia river to
AtnsWOrth. there crossed on our mil
lion dollar bridge and then built to
Portland along the north side. But that
line will never be built, because there
will be no necessity for it. At least
that is the way it appears now. The
recent acquisition Of the .. r. & N. by
the Union Pacific has facilitated a set
tlement good deal because the Union
Pacific. being a very large corporation.
with many diversified interests. has
more at stake in bringing about a set
tlement.
Last year was The best the Northern
Pacific ever he'd by good deal. We
know what our income account for the
year is, though the annual report will
not he ready for distribution for a
month. The road never before had such
large volume of business and was
never operated more economically. Year
before last the comp2ny earned over
per cent on the common stock. but
charged heavily to improvements ac-
count, only ? per cent having been paid.
This year it charged twice as much to
improvements and has already paid 2
per cent on the common stock, with
prospect of something better before
long"

A PlUCKY CONDUCTOR
illustrates an Attempt to Hold Up a Pas
senyer Train.

Trinidad. Colo, Aug. 17.-As passen-
ger No on the Colorado & Southern
was passing south between Folsom and
Des M0ines about $3.50 o'clock last
night. train robbers attempted to hold
up the train. but were frustrated in
the attempt. The first warning the
trainmen knew Of the attempt was
when the engineer was ordered to un-
couple the engine and baggage car
from the train. The conductor. sus-
peCting trouble. went forward and i'm
mediately opened fire on the robbers.
The hodups returned the fire and shot
the express messenger. Fred Bartlett,
through the left side of the face, shat
tering the jawbone. Frank Harring-
ton, the conductor. also received a very
slight wound in the 1eshy part of the
arm.
A special train left Trinidad about
O'Clock this morning with the sheriff
and posse for the scene of the attempt
ed holdup. and found one man a few
rods from the track. badly wounded.
who acknowledged that he was the
party who made the attempt saying
that he was alone and that it was his
first attempt in this business. He gave
his name as George Stevens, and said
he lived in the Pan Handle. He Will
be brought to Trinidad to-day.
This is the third attempt to hold up
this train within two years.

TROOPS LANDED.
The Colorado Boys Greeted with Cheers
and Firing of Cannon,

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE Colorado
troops were landed from the transport
Warren to-day. 1t was decided to give
the marching order about 1870, and at
that hour the men We're lined up and
the start was made. Headed by a band
and four companies of artillery from
the Preside the Colorado boys marched
into Market street where the screech-
ing of whistles and the firing of cannon
had caused great crowds to assemble to
give the Coloradoans the welcome they
deserved. Following the artillery came
the regimental officers of the Colorado
regiment and Governor Thomas Of Col
orado on horseback. Then came the
band of the Colo~ados and then the sol
d!ers themselves. A happier looking lot
of men never marched through the
streets Of San Francisco. The men did
not look to be in the best of health,
however, and it will take some time for
some of them to regain their health
The appearance of the men was the
signal for deafening cheering and ap-
plause. The regimental coiors were
cheered time and again. The torn and
bulletriddled battle flag was ample
proof of what the Colorado boys had
endured in the Philippines.

HIGHER NEXT YEAR.
stockmen Benefited by the Jump in Reef
Prices

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Record says:
investigation at the stock yards in re-
gard to the recent advances in the price
of beef brought out the statement that
never before the history of the American
cattle market has there been such a de-
mand for all kinds; of meats as at the
present time. The demand for export
cattle is enormous. The statement is
made that the prices OF all cattle will be
higher next year than they are now but
in three years. when all the thousands
OF feeders find their way into the market.
there is likely to be slump of from to
j cents. This year Kansas has 500 600
mead of cattle, which is a record breaker
for that state. The big ranches in Mon
tana. Wyoming, North and South Dakota
are not sending cattle at present.
The most benefited by the increase in
prices are the stock raisers. At present
everything costs more alive than former
~. making it necessary for the packers
to advance the prices of all dressed
meats. The prices quoted yesterday to
local butchers was 2 cents a pound for
best straight beef in the whole carcass
and l4lec a pound for loins and ribs. when
together in even sets. One lot of 60 bar
reis or the latter was sold at 15Ib cents a
pound. All other meats have been more
or less affected. Prices have gone up in
pork, mutton. veal and all dried and
smoked meats.

DlSOBEYED THE COURT.
Jury In a Murder Case Refused to RendeI
Verdict of Acquittal

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Bozeman, Aug. 1.-THE trial of ]. A.
Adams for the murder of w. F. Rhoda
by means of a trap gun on July 3 last
commenced yesterday. To-day the state
being unable to prove me corpus deliciti
of the crime, not having been able to Sc
cure any witness who could positively
identify the dead man as being W F.
Rhoda in time for the trial and the in
PRODUCTION of the testimony of the coro-
ner and kilograms from the father of the
murdered man being objected to by the
counsel for the defense on the ground Of
hearsay, II moved for a dismissal. The
counsel for the defense strenuously oh
jected to the motion.
Judge Armstrong; after listening to the
arguments of County Attorney w r. c.
Stewart and Messrs Luce & Luce, in
structed the jury to bring in a verdict of
acquttal for the defendant. The Jury
sent into the court after some few min
utes, saying they refused to acquit the
defendant. The judge was about to order
them to return such verdict anyhow
when the county attorney called his at
tention to section 2096 of the penal code
which reads:
IF at any time after the evidence on
either side Is closed the court deems il
insufficient to warrant conviction. It
may advise the jury to acquit the defend
ant out the jury is not pound by the ad-
vice"
The jury, in the meanwhile. had re-
quested the advice of County Attorney
Stewart as to their mode of procedure
After perusing the section above referred
to. Judge Armstrong instructed them ac-
cordng to the tenor of the above sec
ton 1t is very doubtful whether the iury
will agree, and if they do not it will
probably enable the state to procure a
Rhoda as the man who was murdered by
Adams

Inquest Into the Cause of the Trolley Ac-
cident.

Bridgeport. Conn, Aug. 1.-THE jury in
the inquest into the cause of the accident
on the Shelton Street Railway company's
bridge at Packs millpond Aug. g. by
which 80 people were killed, rendered their
verdict to-day that the motorman OF the
