had not been there. On Thursday morn
ing search was made, and O'Strout was
found in the pasture of Timothy Deblois
thirty or forty RODS from the Deblois build
ings. The body, which was partly under a
small tree, was in kneeling posture with
the head resting on the hands which were
on the ground. Evidently life had been
extinct for several days. Near by were
evident preparations for making a fire
which had not been lighted. A few feet
from the body was the mans snow shoes
and on them two bottles, one at least con-
tanning laudanum, a portion of which had
been used. The deceased, who was sixty
seven years of age, leaves widow, three
sons and one daughter. His widow, Rose
Ducharme O'Strout, is the woman now
under bonds to await the action of the
grand Jury on the charge of manslaug liter
of the pauper, Almeda Hoyt, whose death
last November aroused great indignation.
1t is understood that Mrs. O'Strout led her
husband an unhappy life. 1t is known
that he remained away from home for days
at time. The funeral was on Friday.

FIRST DUTY TO

Washington. April 23.-when the in- vestigation of the Shoot case opened to-day Judge W. o. Powers was again called to the stand. He read peti- ton prepared by supporters of Moses Thatcher. for Senator, addressed to the Senate of the United States, alleg- ing that church influence had been used in the election. and asking for an investigation. Another instance of church interference had been shown, said he. in a mayoralty contest at Pro- vo. when Reed Shoot favored the can- didacy of George Sutherland. The wit ness said that Shoot was held in dis favor at the church and charged with going to the liberal party.
 Senator Overman asked if women were elected to the Legislature in Utah. The witness answered in the af- firmative. and said woman was chair man of the Judiciary committee of the House in the Legislature which elect ed Mir. Shoot as Senator.

 Continuing Possibilities to Bitter End.
PRIDE OF THE MUscoyITH

St Petersburg. April 2s-The Russian capital is agog with reports of possible mediation between Russia and Japan through King Edward as result of Ed-. wards visit to Copenhagen. Everywhere. however, the Russians seem to be of one mind. that no proffer of mediation can be entertained while the empire Is smart ing under the sting of defeat.
 For some time. however. evidence has begun to accumulate that King Edward has been seeking to bring about more friendly relations with Russia and that efforts in that direction have been sym- pathetica1ly received. except by the ex-s treme radicals. Especially has this been true since the consummation of the an- glo-French entente.
 Monarchs Exchange Letters.
 Charles Hardinge. the new British arn- bassador to Russia, was the bearer of a personal letter from King. Edward to the csar. and Sir Charles S. Scott. re- tirIng ambassador. who leaves St Peters, burg tomorrow. will take letter to King Edward, being a personal message of the most cordial character. which the Cxar asked him to convey to King Edward when Sir Charles took luncheon with his majesty at the Winter Palace yesterday
 It is an open secret that the Cxar is greatly distressed over the war. He sincerely loves peace. but thinks that Russia was wantonly attacked, and that after what has occurred. the prestige of the empire must be vindicated befora there can be an intimation of peace.
 Peace is Desired.
 Nevertheless. though, army and navy circles talg as If the struggle had not yet begun in earnest. 1t is rumored that the recent efforts made for possible termination of the war at the earliest practicable moment. Should Russia win a signal victory on land. 1t is believed that intervention might become practi- cable,

PAY FOR VOLUNTEERS
SENATE CoNCURS IN HOUSE
 AMENDMENT.
Bill Introduced in the Senate origi- nally by MT. Pettus-River Bill Will be Opposed by
 MT. Burton.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building.


 Washington, April 9. The Senate has concurred in the House amendment to the bill providing for the settlement of claims of States of ex- penses for organizing, equipping and sub scribing volunteer troops between their original muster in as State organization and their acceptance into the United States volunteer army for the war with Spain. The bill awaits only the signature of the President to become a law. The chief purpose of the bill Is really to ex- tend the time for filing claims at the Treasury. The bill is not materially af- fected by the House amendment.
 The amendment related to the addi- tional proposal to permit revision by the United States accounting officers of accounts heretofore presented and ad- justed, the decisions on the various claims not being entirely harmonious. This provision Is modified by the House SO as to apply only to claims for sub sisting the troops. as a few did. after they had already been accepted in the volunteer army of the United States. The principal item Is the claims to be filed under the present act in the double pay to the troops for the period in ques- ton.
 A huihpei VA olaSSS uiu hoI hidAS tHe4I claims in time, because 1t was not known clearly from the comptroller's ruling that they could collect. This Is the bill which was introduced by Senator Pettus at the beginning of the session. Alabama. Geor- gia, and Mississippi. on behalf of their State troops are considerably interested l in the bill.
 Ben Carter formerly of Birmingham. has had the matter in charge for Alabama under a resolution of the Legislature and by appointment of Governor Jelks and is also looking after the claims of other l States

 Secretary Hay himself will pay to the State of Panama the $10,000,000 to which 1t has become entitled. This pay ment will be made in Washington to Senor Morasemena, the newly ap- pointed minister from Panama. as soon as the government of that State authorizes him by cable to accept the money. The authorities in Panama have become clamorous for this pay ment, as the money is needed to de- fray certain expenses already incurred in connection with the creation of the new State.

Naming Supreme Court.

The President to De elected this fall will doubtless have the appointment of ono or two. and possibly three. Su- preme Court judges. If his sympathies are with the corporations he will doubtless appoint judges satisfactory to the corporations--especi if obli- gated to the corporations by large campaign contributions-and these judges can make it impossible to se- cure any remedial legislation for years to come. If. four years hence, the peo- pie should secure a President a Sen ate and a House opposed to private monOpOlies. they may find themselves unable to get any remedial legislation past the Supreme Court for several years.
 The issue presented today in the trust question and in all the other questions with which we have to deal, is the ques- tion between human rights and the so- called property rights-or, more prop erly speaking. between ordinary people and the great corporations Those who believe that property rights are supreme take the side of the trusts If we bayo a President who Is in sympathy with this tehory it means that the dollar will be given consideration before the man.
