 resfed in New York.

 detectives to-day. Peters is charged with stealing the blue prints of the original plans of the Holland submarine boat and Graham with attempting to
 sell the prints. Both men are said to have recently come from San Fran cisco.
 According to the detectives, Peters was employed in confidential capac- ity in the office of the Holland Torpedo
 Boat company, and the Union Iron Works at San Francisco, acting as stenographer and clerk to the man agers of the consolidated companies On April IS the detectives aleRe, he gave up his position and left San Francisco, taking with him the original blue prints of the drawings of the Hol-
 land submarine boat. These prints had been in the hands of the officials of the navy department at Washington, D. C., where they were being inspected by naval experts. They had just been re- turned to San Francisco when Peters. it e alleged managed to get hold of them.
 Shortly before he left San Francisco he met Graham and the two started for this city A day or SO after their ar rival here they inserted advertisements in the newspapers, offering the prints for sale. T. W. Brady, an electrical expert connected with the Elizabeth port, N J., works of the Holland Tor pedo Boat company, noticed the adver- tisements and notified the company at San Francisco. He then got into com munication with the advertisers Brady negotiated with Graham and agreed to give S3.000 for the prints. He insisted on cash and Brady took him to a bank where the arrest was made. Peters was found nearby, Graham asserts that he is not mixed up in the taking of the prints and that he was simply act ing as Peters agent, who had not told him how they had been obtained.

NEXT STEP IN THE FIGHT IN
 MISSOURI.
Proceedings at Yesterday's sesslon of standing to FIX Uniform Meat Prices ShOwn-Cattle Bought by Wholesalers on Understood Days so as to Destroy Competition.

| St. Louis, May "A special to the | Dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo. says: Quo warranto proceedings, or an application for a writ of custer, against the meat-packing companies composing | the Big Four" will be the next step in the fight of the state of Missouri on the
 beef trust. The result of the proceed ings, if successful will be to prevent the companies from carrying on busi- ness in the state.
 Jefferson City, Mo- May 1.-The ex- istence in St. Louis of uniform and fixed meat prices and the secret rebate in addition to the c. o. D. list was shown by testimony taken at this mornings session of the beef trust in- quiry. Attorney General Crow said to- day that the objections raised by the packers attorneys at Tuesdays session of the inquiry does not pertain to the validity of the antitrust law, but only to the law authorizing the inquiry.
 Maurice Prendiville, St. Louis Union market meat dealer. was the first wit ness examined to-day. He testified that Armour, Swift, Nelson Morris and Cud ahy had fixed agreement regarding prices.
 The packers buy cattle on successive days" said he, 'so that each can buy at his own price. There is very little independent buying in the East St. Louis stock yards. The big packers keep others out by telling the cattle men that if they sell any cattle to the independent buyers they must sell all to them.
 "A better grade of cattle is sent east than that sold in St. Louis. The ordi nary retail butchers cannot get high class beef The best beef is sold to butchers at Il cents on the carcass"
 Did you ever get rebate?' was asked of Prendivile.
 Four or five months ago I got re- bates on pork from Nelson Morris. At one time the cooler managers told me that they had an agreement not to sell at less than s6 per hundred. They would evade the agreement by selling some cents lower"
 "Ts there an arbitrator in St. Louls?" asked Attorney General Crow.
 "The cooler managers meet every Wednesday afternoon and form c. o. D. list, and on Saturday they hold another meeting. I do not know who fixes prices for them, but they are fixed the last of each week for the week fol- lowing.

 of Champion Lindsiey by Alsop. Garden City, May 7,--The Yale golf team beat Harvard by an easy margin to-day at the intercollegiate tourna- ment on the links of the Garden City Golf club By the system of scoring employed, whereby one point is scored for each match won and onehaf a point for each hole up, the New Haven collegians defeated their old rivals 13 points to 5. Four of the six men on the Yale team won their matches, and two of the Harvard six won theirs. Of the latter w F. Egan, of Chicago, who played Travis in the amateur champi- onship finals last year at Atlantic City, did the best work.
 The lowest card of the day was that of C. Hitchcock, jr, the Yale captain, who in the afternoon play made a
 
 and only two more than the record of the course, which Travis holds. Hitch cocks card for the afternoon was: Out .........4 , 0 3-35 In ..4 , ] 6 3-4o-T5
 The weather was hazy in the morn ing, but not unfavorable for fast golf In the afternoon shower threatened and considerable wind confronted the players on the in-play. Harvard was looked upon by many as the probable winner of to-day's contest, The Yale men, however, showed superior skill at the game and won a clear-cut victory.

Alsop, of Yale, tends to increase the interest in the play for the individual college championship between Yale. Harvard.

from South Carolina Senator-iayl
 Civil War Would Have Been Carried on Indefinitely if 1t Had Becn Known
 That Government Was to be Turn cd
 Over to Negroes.
 Washington, May 7.-Discussion of
 the Philippine bill in the Senate took a sensational turn again to- day. MT.
 McComas of Maryland referring to the
 alleged cruelties of American soldiers in the hilippines-cruelties which he deeply deplored-told of some of the cruelties which had occurred on both sides during the civil war. Neither side, he held, was to be held responsi- ble for those regrettable occurrences, as neither side approved of them. In this connection, he suggested, that sen ators from South Carolina and Missis- sippi where there is less popular lib- erty than in any others, were shouting loudest for constitutional liberty in the Philippines.
 These remarks drew a sensational re- ply from MT. Tillman of South Caro- lima, who declared that it was no long CT possible to sheer away the respon- sibility for the infanies committed by the Americans in the Philippines. He said that if 1t had been known in the south that the reins of government were to be given to the negroes the civil war would have been prolonged indefinitely by guerilla warfare to the last swamp in the south. He insisted, that, in order to maintain their self re- spect, the white people of the south had been obliged to subdue the negro by whatever means they could, using the shotgun as one of the means He frankly described how the negroes had been defeated at the polls, admitting that the whites had gotten just such as were necessary When we get ready to put nigger's face In the sand" he shouted Eve put his body there, too.' He declared that the peo- pie of the south never would submit to negro domination and hehoped republi- can senators would turn from their game of deviltry in the Philippines and assist the south to rid itself of the threat of negro domination.
 While MT. .Tillman was speaking many of the democratic senators left the chamber, his audience on the floor being largely on the republican side.
 MT. Burton of Kansas vigorously ar raigned MT. Tillman for his utterances. He asserted that the senator who could defend slavery and government by the shotgun could not be expected to think we'll oe senators who were trying to carry good government to the Filipinos. He was astonished that a senator in one breath should make an appeal for lnsullied government in the Philip pines and in the next should boast of orlnes almost unparalleled in history. MT. Burton followed with a warm de- sense of the governments policy in the Philippines and became involved in q heated colloquy with Mir Rawlns of Utah, because he had denounced some 1f MT Rawlins statements as false. He paid brilliant tribute to General Funston as one of the great heroes of he army.
