lay on the part of the owners. In lieu
of payment of cash to the shepherds,
the owners freely give hocks on halves
that is half the increase and half the
wool. The shepherds are mostly of the
poorest class of English and Irish emf
grants, and they, participating in the
benefit of this rapid augmentation in
value, thrive with their employers; so
that, after time, they are able to set
up as capitalists themselves, first NOV
ing their focks on to lands rented at a
nominal figure, and finally becoming
purchasers of tracts two or three
leagues in extent and owners of many
thousands of sheep. The typical Para
guayan sheep estancia ranges from
half a square league to four or five
square leagues in extent, and from
twenty thousand to one hundred thous-

number. An estancia of the better
class has commodious house, gener-
ally surrounded by peach orchards and
groves of mulberry, willow, poplar, &C
acia and paraiso trees; and there are
numerous outbuildings, Offices, gal
tones or sheds, and carrales, or pens,
for the sheep and horses. This group
of habitation with its foliaged sur
roundings is known as pablacion, and
standing out clear on the level, tree
less plain, can be seen from a great dis

cha huts are erected for the shep-
herds, surrounded by carrales, each a

COMING HIS WAY.

The plank of the Ortonville con-
vention platform endorsing Mr..
Volstead S stand on the so-called
Canadian reciprocity proposition is
an indication of how the agricultur-
al districts of Minnesota, after Civ
ing the question fair consideration,
will line up in case the issue is ever
forced.
THE GAZETTE has previously stat
ed that it was but natural for the
milling centers and the lumber CEN
tiers to insist Oh free wheat and free
lumber. The former they wish to
place in competition with American
wheat, and with the latter, after
they have stripped the Minnesota
forests of all the valuable pine, they
now seek to have lumber hauled in
from Canada and place the same on
the American market without even
one cent reduction from the present
prices. The lumber dealers would
gain materially, the consumers
nothing.
Just before the last state conyen-
ton met there was some talk Of
considering the proposition in the
interests OF the millers and the lum-
Der dealers. But word was passed
around to the leaders from the agri.
cultural districts, and the movers

against the Volstead idea were COM
PEELED to drop the proposition. II
went so far that even some of the
St. Louis county delegation prom
ised to stand with the country dis
tricts against reciprocity on these
two articles.
The Ortonville convention was
distinctly representative, and was
composed of men who have given
the question fair consideration, and
the endorsement OF Mr.. Volstead S
attitude, which at one time was SO
generally criticised in the state and
district, must be particularly pleas
ing to him.

cONTRA8AND OF WAR.

London, March 7.-Answering q question In the house Of commons to- day premier Balfour said the govern ment considered that Russia's declara- ton that she proposed to treat coal as contrabrand oI war was of great importance. The premier added that he was aware that the Russian Dleni- poteatiary at the West African confer ence held at Berlin in December. 1884 in relation to the naturalization of the Congo, declared that Russia never would accept an interpretation that coal should be considered by interna- tional law as contrabrand Of war and his government would categorically re- fuse to consent to recognize coal as contrabrand of war in relation to the Congo CT any other district whatever. In view of this MT. Balfour concluded that the British government was talk ing steps to obtain more precise infOr- nation in regard to the interpretation of the Russian declaration respecting contrab brand of war.

Springfield, O., March At il o'clock the negro, Richard Dixon. Who shot Policeman Chas. Collins yester- day was taken from the jl.! and shot to death ;n the jail yard by an irfuri- ated mob, and the body was taken from there. to the corner of Main street and Fountain avenue, and hanged high to telegraph pole, where the mob spent the next half hour riddiing the body with bullets from several re- VoIvers.
 At S:3O Sheriff Floyd Rouzahan ap- peared on the jail steps ard pleaded with the rcD to disperse, but he could he heard with difficulty. His appeal was ineffective and he was compelled to go within. There was little or no drunkenness in the crowd and no lead CT appeared who could gc- the ear of the crowd. The jail was thought to be impregnable. The mob forced :,n entrance to the jail ybutting in the east doors with a railroad iron.
 Collins was sot by Dixon on Sunday morning while the latter was Tn his room in a hotel here removing his baggage. He ~ad decided to quit the place, and fearing trouble with Anna COTbin. a woman with whom he was acquainted. Dixon asked Collins to go to the hotel with him. While in his room Dixon and Miss Corbin QuaY- relied and Dixon is said to have shot her in the breast. The policeman then attempted to arrest Dixon. when the latter fired into the officers body. in nictins a fatal wound.

There were no losses on the batteries or Notifications. In the town one seaman was wounded and one woman killed. According to information just received the enerHys squadron again appeared in sight of the fortress at 5 o'clock this morning..
 A later message from the viccroy says:
 The commandant at NladiVostoS reports that yesterdays bombardment resulted in no serious damage to the port. The fortress did not return the enemys fire. Today a mid day the enemy again entered Usurri Bay and approached a point from which they bOmbarded the harbOr on March 5. They left again making for the open sea"

C0L0RAO0'S SPECIAL TAX
The COnstitutionality if the Law Im-
 posing t Upheld.

Denver. Colo, March r. The su- preme court of Colorado today handed down a decision in which the revenue law, passed by an extra session of the legislature in 1902, is declared consu- tutional. The case in which the decis- ion WAS rendered 'Came up on appeal from San Miguel county. The special license required for the sale of liquor was attacked for the purpose of test ing .ts legality and the Colorado State Druggists association instituted the suit.
 The contention of the appellants vas that the state had no right to levy taxes in excess of the four mills au- thOriZed by the legislature but the sI- preme court holds that where this Is insufficient to provide revenue for maintaining the state government, special taxes may be levied and col lccted.
 This practically dispcccs of suits now pending in which the corporation special tax, known as the flat tax" is attacked and settles the mooted question of the validity of the occupa- tion tax.

London, March Up to d late hour tonight the Japanese legation here hal received no official information regard ing the bombardment of Vladvostok. IL is believed at the legation, however, that the Japanese are now between the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladi- vosto& and there is reg son to believe the Russian squadron is in the vicinity of Possiet bay.
 Russian official dispatches do noc mention this squadron and this fact lends color to the belief that Japan's Warships have shut 1t out of Vladivo- stOk. l. is pointed out at the lega- ton that If this is true Russia's vessels are in critical position, since they must run the gauntlet Of Japal's squadron off VladivoStok O.

Another BOmbardment of WadivOStOk Yesterday
ST. PETERSBURG REPORT
That One or Two Japanese Cruisers Were Sunk - The Japanese Will Reach the Yalu on Thursday Where the Russians Are Waiting.

London, March S.-In dispatch from St. Petersburg. q correspondent of the Standard gives q runor that the ear received telegram to the effect that the Japanese fleet bDmbarded Vladivostok all day Monday. According to this rumor only trifiing damage was inflicted to Russians but one or two Japanese cruisers were sunk.
 No word confirming this story has been received and although there is nothing to snow there was not another bombardment at VIadivostok on Mon day. this report is likely an exasger- ated version of Sundays lombard meat.
 There .Is much curiosity here con corning the resisting power of Vladi- vostok, which has long been regarded as the Gibralter of the far east. Vladi- vostok is known 70 be better equipped as a naval base and to have greater docking and repairing resources than Port Arthur, bat doubts are expressed as to the character of it's defences. Russia has been settled there for forty years and it is consequently couside.aI likely the defenses and guns at this place are of a somewhat obsolete char acter. It is understood that durins the past few years all the available new guns and war material which it was possible to send over the single line of the trans-Siherian railroad. have been used for strengthening Port Athur and points in Manchuria Ieav- ing VladNostok with the old type Of suns of short range. It is reported that Nladivostok is ill upplied with provis- ions and necessaries.
 According to the Che Foo corre- Ir, ,F rI,r -r the Japanese will reach the left bank of tke lower Yalu about March 10. \ large force Of Russians are strongly entrenched on the hills in the Antun- district adjacent and parallel to the river. Their position is similar 10 that which the BOers held on the Tugala river.

podermic injection and slight vomit- ing was produced. but too slight to afford much relief. His wife said that immediately after taking the powder he swallowed water; that dissolved the poison and facilitated it's work.
 Taylor was walked about by the pO- lice officers and others until he sank into inconsistencies. Then he was taken to the engine house and stripped. The hose was turned upon him and afterward he was beaten and his legs and arms and neck were kept in con- stant motion. He soon became rigid, but the work was kept up until half past two in the morning. There was little hope that he would recover. The rigidity passed away, finally, but there was no other sign at any time that he was less near death.
 He was taken 10 the office of the marshal and the work of attempted re- suscitation was kept up, without the slightest intcrinission.
 Taylor is about fOrty-three years of age. He came tO Phoenix about ten years a@o and since then has been employed in all the newspaper and printing offices in the city. He was a good workman, but of an eccentric character. He has a wife and a son by former marriage.
 IL is said that he had frequently quarreled with his wife and had threatened suicide; that on several oc- casions he had pretended to take poi son. It is also said that for the last two or three days he had been threat ening the life Of his wife.
 About o'clock last night an ac- ouaintance net him as he was entering the drug store. He was quite sober and joked with his friend. He was well known at the drug store. There was nothing about his manner to in dicate that he was meditating suicide. He said that he wanted the morphine for another person.

TOOK A DEADLY DOSE
There Is Hardly a Possibility That
 "Chippie" Taylor Will Survive.

James A. Taylor, better known as "Chippie" Taylor, one of the oldest printers in town in point Of service, attempted Suicide last night by taking morphine.
 At two o'clock this morning he was unconscious with hardly a possibility Of his recovery. After five hours of the most uEremitting work upon him hot air was being injected into him as a last resort. It was doubtful, even if he should be restored to consciousness, whether he would survive. His body looked as if he had been fiayed by those who were trying to drag him back to life.
 little after eight o'clock a woman ran into the police head quarters and said that a man had taken poison in a room a block north of the Redlight saloon. She did not know who he was. Officer Barnett went with her to the place and found Taylor lying on a bed apparently asleep. His wife was sit ting on the edge Cf the bed crying. She told the officer that her husband had taken something, but she did not know what. She said that they had had a quarrel and that he went away. He returned with something in a paper and, opening the package, he said Here goes" He swallowed the powder and then told his wife that he hoped she would get some one who would be as good to her as he had been.
 Officer Burnett sent for Dr. Foss. who soon arrived. By this time the officer had succeeded in arousing Fay tor At first he would not tell what he had taken, but the doctor discov- cred that it was morphine The paper in which it was wrapped was found outside the door. Taylor refused to tell where be had got it, but finally admitted that he had procured it at Hudson's pharmacy. It was learned that there were twelve grains. He had taken practically all of it; little was found near where the paper had been thrown Gown.
