THE STATE.
FOUR INDICTMENTS ARE VOTED

st. Louis, April 20.-Authorities in
st. Louis and jefferson City are in
possession Of information which leads
them to believe that Lieut.. Gov. John
A. Lee, who has apparently fed from
the state, personally distributed s27..
900 of baking powder trust Doodle to
certain members of the senate who
voted as the trust wished.
This, in connection with the fact
that Lee has at least twice testified
that he knew nothing of the boodling
at either the Forty-frst or Forty sec
ond general assembly. is ample ex-
PLANTATION of, his evidently earnest de-
sire to avoid appearing before the
grand jury here.
Lee has completely disappeared so
far as the authorities here or at the
state capital can find. He left the
train on which he departed from Kan.
sas City somewhere in the state. At
either one Of several places he could
have taken another train either to-
ward st. Louis or in the opposite d.
rection. That he did not come to st.
Louis seems certain.
Four indictments Voted.
Four Indictments, It is said, have
been voted by the Cole county grand
jury against members of the senate.
Two of the men concerned have not
been seen in their usual haunts for
several days, and It is believed that
they have left the state entirely. The
indictments probably will be reported
in court to-day. 1t is said that just be-
fore Lieut.. Gov. Lee eft Jefferson
City, where he had brief hearing be-
fore the grand jury after day Of
nervous prostration" he broke down
and briefly unfolded to the astounded
Jurors a tale Of legislative corruption
which astounded even those men who
had already heard much. The story
which the authorities are 0ow in
vestigating is that Lee met number
of the alum senators at the Leclede
hotel here two years ago. and that he
then distributed $4,000 to those who
voted for the interests Of the baking
powder trust.

ROW ON IN MEXICO.
Preparation Being Made for a Fight
for the Presidency.


City OF Mexico, April 21.-Prepara-
tions for a revolution are being made
in Mexico. Minister Limantour, the
unrelenting enemy of Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, has so Influenced President
Diaz, over whom he has absolute con-
troll, that radical measures will be
forced on Reyes.
Regiments of troops, all known 20
be strong adherents of Diaz and Ii
mantour, are being rushed TO Monte
rey, the capital of Nueva Leon, the
state of which Gen. Reyes is governor,
and they cannot fail to arouse indigna'
ton and strife.
Limantour is determined to succeed
Diaz as president. 1t is not believed
that Diaz will live two years longer.
Unless Gen. Reyes Is crushed at pres
ent the chances of Limantour to sue
coed Diaz will be Insignificant, al
though Diaz himself favors the sue
cession Of Limantour.
Mexicans Object to Limantour.
The people of Mexico regard Liman.
tour as a foreigner because he lived
in France and Italy from the sixth to
the thirty-ninth year of his age. Mex
leans would never consent to have Ii
mantour for their chief magistrate so
long as Reyes was eligible for the po-
sition. Limantour knows this and is
therefore seeking to cause Reyes to
commit some rash act for which he
may be punished severely.
Events of a sanguinary nature which
have happened at Monterey for
which Gen. Reyes is held responsible,
are being greatly exaggerated by the
"'0vernment. The organs of Diaz and
a. ntour declare that the number Of
0ns killed by the state troops and
zee of Reyes was thirty-nine and
TIE number murdered ffty-four. 1t is
certain that only seven were killed
and four wounded. During the past
few days many
Bombs Have Been Exploded
on the streets of this city. The news.
papers have not been allowed 10 pub
lish anything in connection with this
feature of the political trouble. Ru.
mors have been circulated to the eff
feet that Reyesists are responsible for
the explosions. Both Diaz and Reyes
are maneuvering for the friendship of
Americans.
Latest of all the intricate political
work is the strange disappearance of
Francisco Reyes, candidate in opposi-
ton to Gen. Reyes for governor of
Neuva Leon. 1t is reported that sew.
eral days ago he received a letter in
which he was advised to retire from
politics if he did not wish to be assas-
sinated.
