FRAUD is LAID BARE.
Liant X. Salisbury Implicatcs Many
Prominent Men in His
Confession.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec 1.-The con-
fession of eX-City Attorney Liant X.
Salisbury, in regard to the notorious wa
ter scandal in this city, was told Mon
day for the first time in court at the pre-
liminary examination of State Senator
David Burns, and it has created a ire
nendous sensation on account of the
number of prominent persons it impli-
"ates, in addition to the II officials and
former officials who were arrested on
bribery charges ten days ago. The eX-
animation Of Senator Burns was COM
pletely lost to view in the story of the
conspiracy as related by Salisbury AS
names OF many prominent men were
mentioned by Salisbury, and the amount
he paid to each for their influence or
silence was given, there was suppressed
murmur Of surprise throughout the
thronged court room.
Grand Rapids. Mich. Dec. with
the entire city stirred as never before
in its history by the revelations of en-
, City Attorney Liant. X. Salisbury in his
testimony at the bribery hearing of
State Senator Burns Monday. the ex-
animation of another of the men
arrested as the result Of Sails
burys confessions to the prosecu-
tor, Alderman De Pagter, was be-
gun in police court Tuesday. De
Pagter is charged with having re-
ceived a $3.50 bride from Salisbury to
support the Lake Michigan water deal
in the council.
De Pagter's case was then adjourned
until next Monday to give him time to
prepare his defense.
EX-Alderman Muir's examination
was then begun. Salisbury swore that
1t was at first understood that Muir,
who was known as Honest john"
was to receive $1,000 in cash and later
it was agreed he was to have 5000 in
bonds.
"Muir had already taken stand
favorable to the Bailey Springs plan
and it would be hard to get him to
switch and explain his action" said
Salisbury eve gave him the largest
inducement because Of his position.
Muir never took any positive action
in favor of the Lake Michigan deal un-
til after he was promised the IS 900 in
bonds. We had plenty of money in
sight to reward our friends and If the
Lake Michigan deal had gone three
days longer we would all have been
millionaires."
Salisbury testified that he intended to
bleed all the outside parties and then
go before the common council, expose
them and keep the money.

Tells of the Business Trnnsncted by
the Agricultural Department
During the Past Year.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-Secre,ary

Washington, Dec. 1.-Secretary Will
son, OF the department OF agriculture,
submitted his seventh annual report to
the president Monday. He gives the
total agricultural products not fed to
live stock at S3,742 100000 and the bal
ance OF foreign trade in favor of the
farmers OF this country during the last
IA years, S4,S0G, 100000. He says lit is
the farmer who has paid the foreign
bondholder."
A great falling of in exports of
horses is reported, due to the lack of
demand from the British army.
MIR. Wilson says the department has
made a strong effort to improve the
quality OF seeds for distribution to
farmers, but regrets that the work does
not accomplish the ends for which the
law was originally framed He be-
lieves that no practical benefit is de-
rived from the distribution of seeds on
congressional orders, and recommends
that the distribution be confined to new
and rare sorts.
Secretary Wilson reports a satisfac-
tory development of the beet sugar in
dustry. In 1896, 1920 tons of sugar
were made, and year ago 100000 tons.
Careful estimates put the present crop
at about 100000 tons. The growing of
seed in the United States of superior
quality is assured. He concludes that
the industry is now we'll established.
The area surveyed and mapped dur
ing the present year exceeded $4,000
square miles, or nearly 100000 acres
as much as the total area previously
surveyed since the work was begun.
Parties are now kept in the field all the
year, moving into southern areas in
winter. The work of the year covered
GS areas in "a states and territories, the
total soil survey to date covering nearly
100000 acres. The cost of the survey
for the year amounted to $G3,313.51, of
which $1,74S.35 was paid by state organ
izations. The secretary reports great
demand for men experienced in this
work from colleges and experiment sta
tons and in private enterprises.

Battle with Bandits.
Thursday night the bandits were To-
Gated in dugout near Miller's Station,
Ind, and were surrounded by seven
Chicago policemen, under Detective
John F. Sheehan.
All night the policemen lay in the
snow guarding every avenue of escape.
With daylight they advanced upon the
cave, and in a desperate battle, in which
hundred shots were fired, Officer Jo-
seph Driscoll fell unconscious in the
snow, shot through the abdomen, and
Officer Matthew thinner, brother of the
alderman of the Twelfth ward, was
shot through the arm, and received a
slight wound in his head.
Finding the bandits were armed with
rifles and most strongly intrenched,
Sheehan and his men withdrew and
waited for requirements from Chi
cago.

Chief Schuettler, armed with rifles, left

FATAL DISASTER.
Two Men Killed by Explosion In
Southern Mtne-TvvO Perish in
u Railway Collision.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 2.--An explo-
sion late Tuesday afternoon at Flat Top
mine, worked by state convicts, about
% miles from this city, resulted in the
death of two men and the injury of
eight. One of the injured may die. The
dead are: Fred Shedding and 7. S. Mas
sey. The injured are: w. L. Rodgers,
state superintendent Of mines; F. L..
Rucker, assistant mining boss; r. Hill,
track man fatally); five negro convicts.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
Mine Inspector Culverhouse says the ex-
plosion probably was due to the care
lessness of the powder man, who was
placing powder shots for the night shift
in the storehouse. The fact that the
powder was stored in worked-out head
ing averted more dreadful catastrophe.
Mason City, Neb., Dec. I'm COL

Russia and Japan Reach Point Where
the Fear of Wnr Is Greatly
Reduced

Paris, Dec. 2.-It is learned that Japan
and Russia are on the verge of a settle
ment of the far eastern controversy
which promises to dissipate the war
cloud that has been hanging over both
countries. This settlement will be the
result of negotiations which have been
in progress for some time past, and
which were assisted by the friendly rep
reservations of France to Russia and of
Great Britain to Japan. The two ma
lions have practically agreed upon the
basis of treaty, the signing of which
can be prevented only by some unex-
pected development. The basis of this
forthcoming agreement follows: Rus
sia will accept the two agreements en-
tered into by Japan and Korea, dated
1896 and 1898, respectively, under which
Japan secured various rights in Korea
including the maintenance of garrison
at Seoul. In exchange for this conces-
sion Japan will accept Russia's treaty
with China. respecting Manchuria.
1t is believed-though this cannot be
stated as positively-that Japan and
Russia will reiterate their support OF
the principles of the "open door" and
the integrity of China and of Korea.
In diplomatic and official circles here
considerable qualification is expressed
at the satisfactory stage upon which the
negotiations between Russia and japan
have now entered.
