address in favor OF the enactment Of a
law to authorize leasing o. puohc lands.

BEET SUGAR BOUNTIES.
International Conference is Said to
Have Abolished Them.

Washington. March 5.-The state de-
partment has received d reply from
United States Minister Townsend at
Brussels TO its inquiry as TO the &C
curacy of the press reports of the re-
suits Of the conference of representa-
tives of beet sugar producing bounty
paying countries.
Mr.. Townsend reports that the pro-
ceedings were supposedly secret, hence
il is not possible to make an official
statement of the result of the confer
ence. However, il is the understand
ing, he says. that the conferees have
agreed to abolish all bOunties on beet
sugar and 10 adopt d uniform customs
tariff on imports of sugar Of S1.16 per
200 pounds, or about d half cent a
pound.
In view of the great Importance of

HAY SKATERS THE LAST
HOPE OF B0ER LEADERS

Washington, March 5.-Messrs. Vol
magans and Vessels, the BOer repre-
sentatives who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose of
comforting with the secretary Of state,
have achieved their purpose. They
were received by Mr.. Hay at j O'clock
this morning. It was distinctly under
stood that the Beers were to be re-
ceived as private citizens and not in
an official capacity.
Secretary Hay talked with them
freely with this understanding. The
principal object of the delegates was to
induce the United States government
10 do something to terminate the
bloody struggle in South Africa. They
were nct very specific as to what they
wanted and apparently would be sat
isfied with anything from a direct to
simple tender Of the good offices on
the part Of the United States.
A matter of complaint of the dele
gates was the shipment of horses.
mules and provisions from the United
States for the British forces in South
Africa Secretary Hay went over this
subject very carefully with them, cit
ing authorities and precedents, which
he pointed out conclusiYely established
the lack of authority on the part Of
TIE general government TO stop the
A-nerican farmer from shipping his
provisions and the stock raiser from
selling his produce anywhere in the
world where they could get the best
price. He also pointed out that the
governments attitude in this, as in
other matters connected with the South
African wa, had been strictly neutral
and that the government had done
nothing TO prevent shipments Of COM
modities to the BOer forces.

SUBSIDY BILL PROGRESSING.
Measure is Being Pushed Urgently
by FRYE.

Washington, March 5.-It appears
likely now that the senate will reach a
vote on the pending shipping bill one
week from next Monday. When Mr.
Frye, in charge of the measure, en-
deaYOred today to secure an agreement
for the time of taking a vote, that date
was mentioned as being satisfactory
to the minority members of the COM
merce committee.
Mr.. Clay of Georgia addressed the
senate today in opposition to the bill,
and had not concluded when the SEN
ate adjourned. He made forceful and
interesting argument, which was given
careful attention by his colleagues.
Early in the session the senate
passed the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, the second
of the big supply measures to be acted
upon at this session.
In the course of his argument. Mr..
Clay made the point that the postmas-
ter general had not recommended in
his reports any such change in the
ocean service as was contemplated by
the pending bill.
Mr.. Aldrich interrupted the speaker
to inquire whether the foreign mails
We're carried in American vessels,
II think not" replied Mr.. Clay. The
mail was getting through, he said, but
he could not say how much was being
carried by foreign and how much by
American steamships.
Mr.. Harris of Kansas inquired if
there were any provision in the pend
ing measure looking to competition in
the letting of contracts for the carry
ing of ocean mails. Mr.. Clay replied
that the whole matter was in the hands
OF the postmaster general.
us it not a fact" Suggested Mr.. Han
ma, that all mail carrying contracts
are let in that way"
u think the senator from Ohio is
correct, responded Mr.. Clay. My
understanding is that under the act of
1901 the foreign mail service is left TO
the postmaster general to contract for
in his discretion
There is nothing in this bill chang
ing the method of making contracts, 3"
suggested Mr.. Hanna. That is the
point I wanted to make clear.
To this Mr. Clay agreed. Mr.. Clay
took sharp issue with Mr.. Frye, who
had stated that American shipyards
were not filled with work. Without
concluding his speech, Mr.. Clay, at 4
o'c'ock, yielded the floor, promising to
go on with his address tomorrow.
Mr. Frye. in charge Of the bill, made
an effort 10 obtain an agreement to
take a vote on the bill and amendments
one week from next Monday at p. m,
but his request went over until tOmOr-
row. Then. at 4:05 p m, the senate
went into executive session and at 4:l5
o'clock adjourned.

Explosive is to be Used to Start the
Snow Slides.

Telluride. Colo. March 5.-The bodies Of
Reddin Boughen and John Nixon were
found today in the ruins of their cabin,
which had been crushed by "a snowslide.
The men were working a mine in Bear
Creek basin, about five miles from Tel

is feared that other miners have been
killed there.
The body Of James kraUl, who was
killed by the first snOwslide at Liberty
Bell mine, was found today by a party
which was preparing the boarding house

expected to resume the search for bodies
in a few days. Fourteen bodies are
known to be still in the SNOW. The banks
of snow on the trail between Telluride
and Liberty Bell mine will be dynamited

count Of the extreme danger.

told the president that the beet sugar
and toDacco people lid not entirely
agl &c among themselves as to what
course should be pursued, some aver
ring no action, and others favOripg the
Tawney or the Norris propositions.
He also told the president that there
would be another conference tomorrow
night which would be the third the
Republicans have held, and that it had
been indicated that time should be
taken for q full conference, each MEM
Der having full opportunity 10 express
his views; further. that it might and
probably would be several days before
the conference was ready to take def
mite action. Speaker Henderson, Mr..
Cannon said, was present during ali of
the interview and shared his views.
Our gOing to the White House. -
said Mr. Cannon, did not in any way
have for its object the Urging of the
president to delay sending d message
TO congress on the subject, as nothing
was thought Of a message and nothing
was said about a message"
Mr.. Cannon further stated that the
presid mt listened attentively and ac-
guessed in the wisdom of full consul
tatiOn. In other words said Mr..
Cannon, while we don't hold confer
ences at his request or by his permits
sion, the whole interview was a pleas
ant one, and the president by his man
ner in no way suggested or combatted
the correctness Of the Republicans in
the house pursuing the course they
were pursuing in the premises

tNeW 1OEk ITlDune.)
Assemblvman Cook of Erie county was
telling a little group in the corridor of
the Hotel Ten Eyck, including Assembly
men OMalley and Patton Of Erie and
Bennett of New York, a few incidents of
the last municipal campaign in Buffalo,
which resulted in the election of Erastus
c. Knight the Republican candidate
You ali know said Mr.. Cook, what
an approachable and affable man Mr..
Knight is. Well. il was this fact that
many of US tried to emphasize in the cam
Daign. But one of Our speakers. who was
a German of more than ordinary parts,
but whose mastery of the English Ian
guage was not altogether perfect. once
used this argument with almost boomer
anE results.
"One night in his efforts to tell the au-
dience that in case Mr.. knight was
elected any citizen might have ready &C
cess TO him and obtain at all times a
sympathetic response. he put it in a way
which almost broke uD the meeting.
'FreUndts," said ne, ven you elect
Mr.. Knight for the mayor. all you viii
get Afterwards will be a glad handt.'
Well added the Buffalo legislator. cit
was a Ions time before We could over
come the effect of that glad hand
