Mr.. Martin of South Dakota Wants
the Beef Trust Investigated.
Washington, March 5.-The house
yesterday had under consideration the
Indian appropriation bill, the reading
of which for the purpose of amend
ment was pending on adjournment.
During the general debate on the bill
Mr.. Martin, a Republican member
from South Dakota, addressed the
house on his resolution directing the
secretary of commerce and labor to
investigate the causes of the differ
ences which exist between the cost of
live and dressed meat. He prefaced
his statements with high tribute to
Attorney General Knox and by say
ing that he was not one who went
into hysteria on hearing the word
trust. But while this was true, he
believed that if a monopoly exists in
one of the big food products, it should
be investigated by the department of
commerce and labor. The contro-
verted features in the Indian bill wen.
over until to-day.
Practically the entire time of the
sente yesterday was given to consid-
Grafton of the question of the selec-
tion of site for naval training sta
tion on the Great Lakes. Most of the
senators from states bordering on, the
lakes participated in the discussion.

VICTIMS OF PRAIRIE FIRE.
Three Persons Perished and Property
Loss Is Estimated at Half a Million.

Three Persons Perished and Property
Loss Is Estimated at Half Million.
Oklahoma City, Okla, March 6. -
Three persons perished in Wednes-
day nights prairie fire and the finan-
cial loss is estimated at half million
dollars Further reports of property
loss by both fire and wind indicate
that the first estimate was too low.
The damage by wind extends over
several counties in, the Southwest.
Hastings, Olustee, Leger, Walter,
Granite, Elk City, Cache, Temple.
Snyder, Willow, Bloomington, Sayrf
and Mountain Park all report losses.
The little town of Francis, near Man
gum, was destroyed by fire. Scores
of people are suffering from burns
and broken limbs. The district from
which reports Of damage come com.
prises an area Of hundred miles
square, and Communication is inter-
rupted because telegraph poles have
been burned and wires blown down.

Acting In Good Faith.

He conveyed also Great Britain's as.
surance that the Anglo-Ja Japanese
treaty contained no secret clauses,
and that it was not directed especial
ly against Russia, its sole purpose be-
ing, according to the British authori-
ties, the preservation of the balance
Of power in the Far East which might
be threatened by another coalition
such as followed the Chino-J Japanese
war and which resulted in the ex.
clusion of Great Britain in further in
ternational settlement of Far Eastern
questions.
The Associated Press also is cred
itably Informed that the British and
French governments have reached
thorough understanding by which they
have pledged mutual non-interference,
and Russia feels more secure against
European complications.
Japs Will Want Them Later.
Toxic, March ct is evident that
several vessels laden with coal, pro-
visions and other contraband articles
recently have effected the passage of
Tsugaru strait and succeeded in
reaching Vladivostok.
Their exact number and names are
unknown, but it is stated that they
included British, Norwegian and Ger
man vessels. Two of them are said
to have carried cargoes of Australian
coal. Japan refrained from making a
special effort to prevent their passage,
and it is not impossible that she calm
ly permitted the delivery of the con-
traband goods. calculating that they
would be useful to herself at later
stage of the campaign. The Vladivos.
tok squadron continues inactive,
though it has an ample supply of coal
and the ships are in good condition.
Evidently it has been instructed by
the Russian government to remain
close to Vladivostok batteries in
preference to risking a fight in the
