High Prices For Horses.
New record prices have been estab-
lished this year In the Chicago market
for horses, says the breeders Gazette
The record figure for n draft pair was
paid for pair of gray geldngs. $3.50,
and firm OF Chicago packers paid
$500 for a bay mare. Another firm
paid $40 for gray gelding of show
quality, and late In the year an Iowa
shipper set new limit for an entire
consignment Of drafters when he sold
nineteen head for an average OF

erage price Of drafters In Chicago for
the year 1902 was $166 against $157 for

| $780, drivers $145 against $137, general
use $117 against $102, bussers and
trammers $135 against 1921, saddlers
S151 against $147 and southern chunks

ION among the dealers that the trade
Will be even stronger In 1903 than il

preached the point where horses can be
profitably utilized.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 30.-'James B.
Howard of Clay county fired the shot
that killed William Goebel," said Hen
ry E. Youtsey, serving a life sentence
in the Kentucky p~enitentiary, in his
confession as to his knowledge of the
conspiracy which terminated in the
assassination pending the contest for
the governorship on January 80, 1900.
Youtsey says that he and Howard
were the only persons in the private
Office of the secretary of state; that
the blinds were pulled down, and that
he pointed Goebel out as he came
through the statehouse gate with
Jack Chinn and Eph Lillard. He
names William S. Taylor, Charles Fin
ley, Caleb Powers, John l.. Powers,
William H. Culton, Wharton Golden
and w. j. Davidson as conspirators
with him, and, while others had guilty
knowledge, these men conspired with
him and aided, abetted and advised
Goebel's death.
On January q. after 'Tallow Dick
Combs and Mason Hockersmith, ne
groes, notified Youtsey that they were
not willing to do the shooting, Act
ing Governor Taylor dictated a let

Warlike Preparations Endorsed.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Two import
ant subjects were considered at the
cabinet meeting today. All the mem
bers of the cabinet were present, Sec
rotary Moody having returned from
his brief vacation.
The question of most serious i'm
portance before the cabinet today re-
lated to Venezuela and the Philip
pines. In connection with the Vene-
zuelan question the action taken in
congress for the strengthening of the
coast defense Notifications and the
improvement of the naval and mill
tary establishments generally was re
ferred to and cordially approved.
1t is made clear that the United
States is not expecting and is not
looking for trouble, but the admins
tration is determined to be prepared
for any situation that may arise.

REGISTER HAS THE RIGHT
FULL POWER BESTOWED TO Exc.
CUTE LEASES.

Great Falls, Jan. 3O.-The secretary
of the interior has rendered a decis-
ion denying a motion for a review Of
the decision of the commissioner by
the Montana land Office %cancelling
5000 acres in selections by the state
of Montana. The decision of the Sec
rotary was made Jan. 10 and has been
received at the Great Falls land office.
In connection with this important
matter an erroneous report has been
given circulation to the effect that
the register of state lands could not
execute legal leases. Such a report
is absolutely wrong. The register may
execute leases and the like, but deeds
must be sngned by the governor. That
lessees of state lands may not be
needlessly alarmed by the erroneous
publication, the following extract from
the decision of the commissioner is
quoted:
ct is true that the state board of
land commissioners has control OF
the state land donated under the act
of congress of Feb. %, 1899, with
power to lease or sell the same, and
that under article 5, section 1892 of
the civil code defining the power
and duties of the register of the state
land office, it is stated that he shall
by direction of the board furnish lists
of lands 10 be appraised by the pro-
per officer or officers and shall per
sonally conduct all sales of lands adj
vertised for sale at the county seat
Of the county in which the lands adj
vertised are situated; he shall execute
all contracts of sale, leases, permits
or other evidence of disposal of state
lands, which shall be approved and
countersigned by the president and
secretary of the board
''There is no provision that the
register shall pass title; that can only
be done by the governor, by patent,
attested by the secretary of state,
sealed with the seal Of the state, ana
such patents conveys to the grantee
named therein all the right, title, in
terests, claim or demand of the state
of Montana, in and to the land therein
conveyed"

Frances Position.

Paris, Jan. 3O.-The foreign Office
here received today lengthy official
advices giving details of the rejection
by the allies of the proposal that
France and other countries receive
equal treatment in the Venezuelan
settlement. The French officials had
not doubted that equal treatment
would be recognized and this unex-
pected turn of events has caused
much surprise and concern. For the
present it does not appear to be the
purpose of the French authorities to
assume an imperative position, but
rather set forth what they regard as
the manifest equities Of the French
position, with the view to induce it's
further consideration and acceptance.
After comforting with those in author
ity an official said that the French
position is based on two principals.
The first is that a pacific settle
ment between two sovereign nations
is entitled at least to equal treatment
with a war settlement. If not a prece-
dent would be established, the officials
say, which would be an incentive to
war, as countries first adopting force
in the collection of claims would have
superior rights to those observing the

BALFoUR EXPLAINS.
He Tells Edinburgh About the Anglo.
German Alliance.

~ S'S VI SNSO0S S1C NIINuO'
German Alliance.
London, Jan. 30.-Lord Balfour OF
Burleigh, secretary for Scotland in
the cabinet, in a speech at Edinburgh
last night told his hearers that the al
lance of Great Britain and Germany
in the Venezuelan affair was a mere
casual cooperation for a specific pur-
pose in a limited time.
Lord Balfour said he had no doubt
that any compensation from Vene-
zuela which would be satisfactory to
Great Britain would be equally salts
factory to Germany. He said he felt
confident that this compensation
would prevent any breach of the ex-
listing good feeling between European
countries and the United States. He
secuted the idea that the alliance was
the result of the kaiser's visit to
Sandringham last November. On the
contrary, he said. the joint action of
the two powers in the Venezuelan
matter had been decided en- last July.
A number of %unionist members of
parliament have decided to demand
a full explanation of the Anglo-Ger-
man cooperation when the session
opens, some three weeks hence.

Taylor Denies It.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 30.-When
w. S. Taylor, formerly governor of
Kentucky, was shown the alleged con-
fession of Henry Youtsey, in which
the latter charges him with conspir-
acy to murder Senator Goebel, he
said:
This alleged confession, so far as
it attempts to connect me with the
crime and so far as my knowledge
extends is absolutely false"

LONG VERY ILL.
Condition Of the Former Secretary Of
Navy Is Critical.

Boston, Jan. 30.-It was announced
this afternoon that the condition of
former Secretary of the Navy John D.
Long, who is at st. Margaret's hos
pital, this city, is not so favorable. A
consultation of physicians was held
today, but it is stated there is no i'm
mediate cause for alarm. What seems
to have been an attack Of grippe has
affected the patient since midnight,
and, in view Of kidney trouble, the
physicians are watching the cast care
fully.
An official bulletin issued early in
the evening stated that the patients
temperature was 101, pulse SO, and
respiration "a.
Mr.. Long was brought from Hing
ham, N. Y, three weeks ago with
catarrh of the bladder, a trouble of
long standing. He was taken to st.
Margaret's hospital, a private insti-
tuition. DR.. J. Winthrop Spooner, n
of the consulting physicians, who has
been his family physician for nearly
80 years, was sent for tonight and on
the way to the hospital said:
after Governor Long went to the
hospital a disease analogous to the
grip set in, and this had an effect upon
the kidneys. There was for a time
danger from urameic poison. Mr..
Long has been seriously i'll for some
time, recognizing his family only at
times"
On being pressed for al opinion as
to the patients condition, Dr.. Spooner
said:

PosToFFicE is A WRECK.
Citizens in Hot Pursuit Of Two Safe
Robbers.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Jan. 3O.-TWo safe
crackers blew open the safe OF the
Dayton postoffice early this morning,
exchanged shots with Marshal Eric
Frosberg and c. w. March, proprietor
of the Commercial hotel, and made
their escape on foot to the country,
having been headed from the station,
whe,e they were trying to take a
southbound Minneapolis & st. Louis
rain.
Most of the money and stamps in
the office had been placed in the bank
the night before by the postmistress,
Kate C. Warner.
A posse of Dayton citizens is in pur-
suit today under the leadership OF
Sheriff Henry Olson. The interior OF
the postofice building was wrecked
and fragments of the safe door were
blown through the front window into
the street.

Walked Over a Bluff.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 30.-While
walking in the Cow Creek country
near Wastucna, Joseph Reed, a cow
boy, walked over a bluff. He alighted
on his feet, but broke both legs so
badly that the bones protruded. The
country is sparsely settled and Reed
lay until the next day before being
found, and it was three days before
he received hospital treatment.

pardon for the murder OF George
Baker awaited him.
The letter instructed Howard to re-
port to Henry E. Youtsey in the state
letter to .Youtsey. Youtsey would &C
quaint him with the steps necessary
to be taken to procure the pardon.
The letter was sent by messenger
through either Walter R. Day or John
G.. White. The messenger knew moth
ing of the contents of the letter ex-
cept that Howard was to get a par
don. Taylor had told Youtsey that
Howard was the man."
He had been in Frankfort after a
pardon and could settle the contest
by killing Goebel. Howard arrived
on the morning of January 80, and
Youtsey says he at once presented
the letter signed by Taylor. Youtsey
told Howard that it had been decided
that the only way to win the contest
for the governship was to kill Goebel,
and that if he would do the killing
Taylor would not only pardon him
for the murder of Baker, but also for
the murder of Goebel.
Youtsey said that the plan to kill
Goebel had been perfected on the
night of January 80 at a meeting in
the register of the land office, at which
w. S. Taylor, Caleb Powers. John l..
Powers, w. H. Culton, Wharton Gold
