ROOSEVELT'S NAME FORGED.
CLUMSY SCHEME TO SECURE A FoRGER's
RELEASE FAILS.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 1O.-A plot to secure the
release from the penitentiary OF L. C. Living
ston, who was sent from Silver Bow County in
April. 1900. to serve five years for forgery has
failed. The names of several prominent New
York persons were forged to pardon petition
that set forth that Livingston from the
well known New-York family of that name and
had served Rough Rider in Cuba. Among
the names signed to the petition were those of
Theodore Roosevelt, August Belmont, Hugh j.
Grant Thomas A. Edison and E. d. Morgan
Governor Toole's suspicious were aroused by
receiving letter from President Roosevelt last
June saying that he had learned of clumsy
attempt to forge his name TO a petition for
Livingston's pardon. When the petition was
received by the Governor a few days ago he
looked up the letter and decided to write to
August Belmont, Hugh ]. Grant and others to
ask to the genuineness of their signatures
All have replied, denying having signed the
petitiOn.

'ueieo py the Congress committees that event
uaily VIII determine the form and extent of
tariff concessions to Cuba Not even the Cali
1ornla delegation, which is opposed to any con-
cesslons to Cuba, because of the beet root sugar
industry in that State, indorses the scheme given
out yesterday. Those who insist on this coun
try keeping faith with Cuba and aiding the
island in a substantial way to rehabilitate its
languishing business interests declare that this
proposition is more obnoxious than the nronosal
recently made by the beet sugar magnates for
the payment OF a bounty on all Cuban sugar
imported to the United States
The fact seems TO be that the Senate will en-
tertaln no proposition that does not carry out
right concessions of value to Cuban sugar and
tobacco. in return for which grain, flour ma
chinery, and other manufactures of the United
states Will be admitted to Cuban ports on terms
which will give this country an advantage over
all other nations which seek TO do business with
the Cubans.
AS heretofore stated in these dispatches II is
expected that the Ways and Means Committee
Of the House will draft a bill empowering the
President TO make concessions to Cuba when
ever the insular government is prepared to deal
with this country in accordance with the rules
of the international code The extent of these
concessions is a mere detail, which will be
worked out carefully by the Ways and Means
Committee and by the Senate Committee on Re-
lations with Cuba. II it is shown to be prac-
ucable to obtain at this time for Cuba absolute
free trade with the United States, the Senate
leaders can be depended upon TO do that But
If they discover that the sentiment against free
trade is too strong at present, they will secure
the best compromise possible. At any rate they
will not listen either TO the bounty proposition
or the 90 per cent drawback scheme both OF
which are regarded not only as makeshifts but
also as too absurd to be brought before Con-
gress for consideration.

BoERS EXPECT PEACE OvERTURES.
RUMOR THAT PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WERE
ON FOOT DENIED IN LONDON


Amsterdam Jan. 10.-The Boer delegates in
Holland evidently anticipate that some kind of
peace overtures will shortly be forthcoming
though they reticent to their reasons for
this belief. They maintain. however that the
demand for an unconditional surrender must be
abandoned.
1t is privately admitted that none of the dele
gates will reject what they call "any fair offer
of terms" and If the negotiations started
by neutral power the delegates will earnestly
seek to obtain a modus vivendi which will
reconcile Mr.. Krtiger's desire for complete inde-
pendence with the terms offered by Great
Britain.
London, Jan 1O-"The Globes" financial editor
said report which came from well informed
quarters was current in the City to-day that
the Beer chiefs had made overtures to the Brit
ish Government to the effect that they were
prepared to lay down their arms, provided they
were not exed. Wednesday next is the Boer
feast day, and il was said the surrender of the
Beers would probably occur then.
The War Officials asserted that no proposals
to surrender had been received from the Beers.

nothing insoluble in its many problems. The
danger was that the people of England might
