Snarrina for Time.

London. April 1.-THE Associated
Press learns that Lord Miner. the Brit
ish high commissioner In South Africa,
has defined certain propositions on
which peace may almost Immediately
be secured, but the cabinet, at its meet
ing yesterday, is said to have disagreed
upon the merits of Lord Miners terms.
"Sparring for time" best describes the
neither side being willing to risk a de-
oision which would break off the pres
cnt conference. An agreement may be
reached at any moment, but this would
more likely be the result of semi inde-
pendent action by Lord Miner and
Lord Kitchener at Pretoria than of the
rather involved conditional decisions OF
the cabinet at London.
The broad lines of Great Britain's
terms are now known to the govern
ment representatives at Pretoria, and
on these representatives the cabinet
is apparently shifting the responsible
ity Of taking advantage of all oppor-
tunities, provided no cardinal princi-
pies be sacrificed.
The government has ordered the ca
BILE and telegraph line between Lon
don and Pretoria to be kept clear to in
sure the prompt transmission of Lord
Kitchener's messages.
There is good reason to believe that
the Beers are vigorously demanding a
representative government and that
this demand is opposed with equal Wig
or by the British representatives.
It is understood that the Beers
strongly object to the long delay by
Great Britain before a representative
government be granted the former re-
publics and that they also insist on the
number of Boer seats in the council be-
ing specified.
semble tomorrow to discuss the matter
further.

WAS NOT POPULAR.
Murdered Russian Minister Sipiagune
Was Mixed Upin Many IrresuIari-
ties and Was Regarded as Ignorant
and incompetent.

st. Petersburg, April 17.-lAltho NJ.
Sipiagune, minister of the interior, who
was assassinated Tuesday. was not ac-
tually the leader of the reactionary
party in Russia. he was the tool of
those who. in the. opinion of many. wele
responsible for the prevailing situation.
His assassination, easily explicable III
the present political condition, was
hailed with joy in radical circles. For
month there had been daily rumors
of Sipiagune's impending resignation,
owing to disagreements with the gov
ernor general of Moscow, Grand Duke
Sergius, who has been supporting the
instituted by NJ Trepoff, police prefect
of Moscow, which includes organization
of labor unions under police control.
The murdered minister's name was also
mixed up with stories Of financial ir-
regularities alleged against SO many
officials at present. Sipiagune spent
immense sums in redecorating bis resi-
sdence. A single chandelier alone cost
$4,000 roubles, and he was accused Of
appropriatine 100000 roubles from the
secret service funds. Deceased was by
no means talented, and owed his posi-
ton to influential friends. especially
Count Shermetieff. the bosom friend OF
Car Alexander Ill, and to the dowager
czarina, who was largely under Count
Shermetieff's influence. Shortly before
Sipiagune was appointed minister of
the interior he married a sister OF
Shermetieff's wife. Princess Viaamesky.
brilliant woman 36 years of age, who
is now warm friend Of the czarina.
The death of Sipiagune may materi-
ally affect the chances of Murray A.
Werner, millionaire Pittsburg con-
tractor, Of securing the st. Petersburg
tramway franchise, as the deceased
was a notable supporter of Verner's
proposition. and overruled the COM
mittee which had recommended 4
Westinghouse offer. The matter is
possibly now indefinitely postponed.
Many people think the de;lth of Sipi-
agune will help the aspirations of M
Witte finance minister, who long has
been ambitious to become imperial
chancellor, or at least obtain control of
the ministery of the interior,
Unusually grave labor outbreaks are
reported at Yekaterinoslav, Poltavaa,
Voronej and Tambov. The details are
vigorously suppressed.

to Lease Their Lands.

Washington, d. c., April 17.-Justice
Hagner, in the district supreme court
dismissed the petition of Louis
Primeau and others, representing a
tribe of Sioux Indians of the Standing
Rock reservation, for an Injunction to
restrain the secretary of the interior
and the commissioner of Indian affairs
from leasing certain portions OF the
unoccupied land Of the reservation for
grazing purposes.
The petitioners represented that they
had agreed to lease the land in ques-
ton to certain cattlemen at the rate
of 81 for each head of cattle placed on
the range. When the terms OF the
lease came to the Office of the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, the wording OF
the paper was so changed that it fixed
the rate at 81 per acre. instead Of 81
per head of cattle. The Indians,
therefore, sought relief thru injunc-
ton.
Justice Hagner held that the govern
ment had a right to lease the land on
the terms indicated.

GRAIN GROWERS ELATED.
Farmers in England Delighted at Re.

Farmers in England Delighted at Re.
turn to Protection Policy.
Birmingham, April Reports from
every section of the grain growing dis
tricts of England and Wales tell of the
jubilation of the farmers because the
government has decided to return TO
the policy of protection. Such a course
has been strenously advocated by all
the agricultural societies and newspa-
pers for many months, tho they did not
expect to see their ideas put into ac-
tual operation.
The effect of the small duties pro-
posed by Sir Michael Hicks Beach will
be important in the direction of galvan-
izing British agriculture into life. 1t is
argued, however, that the door Of pro-
lection which is now ajar will lbe ulti-
mately thrown wide open When that
event takes place, the farmers say, tk,,
movement which threatens to depopu-
late the rural regions of Great Britain
will cease.
