Chicago. Feb. 22.-Five persons-two

RULES AGAINST BURTON.
Indictment II Overruled By
Judge Adams I'm 81. Louis.

st. Louis. Feb. 17.-Judge Adj
ans in the United States district court
Tuesday overruled the demurrer of
ton, of Kansas. to the indictment
charging him with accepting money
for using his influence in preventing
the issuance of fraud order against
the Rialto Grain and Securities COM
pany.
The trial of the senator was set for
March %. A panel of GO jurors has
been ordered for that date.
In reading his decision Judge Adams
consumed 25 minutes, giving each
point raised by the defendant careful
analysis. Both Senator Burton and
Maj Hugh c. Dennis, president of the
Rialto Grain and Securities company,
were In court.
The Indictment grew out of the trou-
company when that concern ran foul
of the United States post Office depart
ment and further use of the mails was
denied 1t. 1t Is charged that for $500
per month Senator Burton was to use
his influence to have the embargo re-
moved.
In filing the demurrer to the indict-
ment the defendant contcnded that the
postmaster did not have the authori-
ty to forbid the Rialto company the
use of the mails or to issue fraud
order. Also that there was no sub
stantial charge of fraud at the time.
Both of these questions were dismissed
by Judge Adams, with the remark that
he was not impressed with them. The
question as to whether the United
States was interested in the case called
for a more extended opinion, but Judge
Adams held that 1t was interested. He
then ordered the case to be tried

BECOMES kAID OF BENIARos AND
GETS MONEY FROM
PREDECESSOR.
SENDS his OWN SON TO BANDIT
FRENCH MINISTER PRAISES THE
AMERICAN AND BRITISH
AEMlRALS.

Taneier June IL. - The release Of
Perdicaris and Varley is expected in
few days Practically all the con-
ditions imposed by Raisuli have been
agreed to. The sheriff OF Wazzan,
who is engaged in conducting negotia-
tions, having satisfied Raisuli OF the
sultan's pardon, considerable difficulty
will arise in paying over the money.
The country between Tangier and
Beniaros is held by a tribe that is in
imical, to Raisui, and it may attempt
to seize the ransom, which, however,
will be strongly guarded. The greater
portion of the money had been fur
nished by Bahia Abdersadek, the de-
posed governor to whose rule Raisuli
objected. Abdersadek will leave for
Fez Immediately. A large body Of
troops have arrived from Fee to act as
an escort. Raisuli's brigandage has
been completely successful from
His Point of View.
The United States government, how
ever, is determined to deter any fur
Their acts Of brigandage, which are
likely to be encouraged as result Of
the success of RaisEli. The release Of
Perdicaris will see the beginning Of
the real crisis here.
The Langerman mission has proved
failure. No Christian is allowed in
the sacred territory of the Bonarios.
Raisuli refused to meet a commission \
er outside. Among Raisuli's demands
that the sultan has agreed to is to
make him kaid Of Boniaros.

Paris, June 1.-THE foreign Office

chief, and present the final terms to
secure the release of Messrs. Perdi-5
carts and Marley. The son already
has departed on his mission.

of his son shows the sincerity of Mo
