GOVERNOR SUPREME
President Meyer Will Not
be Produced
The Reasons for not Obeying the
Order OF Colorado Supreme Court
Set Forth in the Return.

Denver, April 1S.-After a conference
with Attorney General Miller, Attorney
Waldron and Sherman Bell, Governor
Peabody today decided that he would
not produce the body of President
Meyer, of the Western Federation of
Miners, before the supreme court on
Thursday under a writ of habeas cor
pus issued last Friday.
1t was decided at today's conference
that the answer which will be made
to the supreme court will maintain
that the power of the governor is su-
preme in such cases, that he has au-
thority to arrest and imprison at will
for the good of the state and that he
may incarcerate any person for an in
definite period. 1t will be said that it
is necessary to keep Meyer in custody
for scme time yet, as it will be impos-
sible to bring about peace in San Mi
guel county unless he is continued in
confinement.
In speaking of the return, which has
been prepared to be made to the su-
preme court, General Bell said that he
and all concerned on the part Of the
state are anxious to have the vexed
questions relative to the rights of the
courts to enforce civil processes on Of
ficers of the militia, while on duty, de-
cided as soon as possible. Referring
to the habeas corpus writ Bell said
that when the attempt was made to
serve the writ upon him and Captain
Wells, both refused to honor the SER
vice. He said they handed the sheriff
statement to the effect that they
were in the service of the national
guard of Colorado on active duty and
therefore exempt from the service of
civil processes.

Pennsylvania DEMOCRATS.
there Will Probably Be No Instrue
tions.

Harrisburg, April 1S.-The democrats
of Pennsylvania at their annual con-
Vention in this city tomorrow probab-
ly Will make no declaration for any of
the aspirants for president. The dele
cation from this state to the St. Louis
convention, however, probably will be
bound to the unit rule.
The platform will favor tariff revision
condemn secret treaties between this
and other nations, with special refer
ence to the Panama canal, and will de-
nounce Roosevelt's OBSERVATIONS dis
play at the White House, comparing
his administration with the Jefferson
ian simplicity of democracy. The plat
form will also favor a ballot law and
personal registrations. endorce
labor unions. recognizing their neces-
sity and the good they will do when
their acts are within the provisions of
the law and will criticize the methods
employed by the recent republican con-
vention in the nomination of a candi-
date for supreme court justice.

Anything Believed in St.
Petersburg to be Possible
PLANS OF THE JAPANESE
Nothing to Prevent Them From Car
rying Them Out Except the Super
Tor Russian Land Forces Which Will
be Steadily Increased.

st. Petersburg, April 1S.-St. Peters
burg is flooded with rumors from all
directions regarding the plans of the
japanese, now that the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur is unable longer to men,
ace their troop transports.
The Associated Press in a dispatch
from Port Arthur on Sunday last gave
twenty as the number of Japanese
transports reported as having been
sighted steaming in the direction OF
Yinkow, the seaport Of New Chwang.
Officials of the general staff, while
having no information in this respect,
would not be surprised if the number
should turn out to be correct, or even
that larger number is steaming there.
They anticipated this movement at the
breaking out of the war, but the activ-
ity of Vice Admiral Makaroff's fleet
and the large army in the vicinity of
New Chwang imposed caution and it is
believed, made the japanese abandon
or at least postpone the movement, and
caused them TO continue their advance
toward Manchuria through Korea and
consider Decentralization and a flank
movement at Takushan.
Vice Admiral Togos immense super
iority enables him to hold the Russian
SQuduIOll III IOIl arthur anu the jap
anese transports therefore can safely
pass through the straits of Pc Chi Ii
and attempt to land at the head of
the gulf of Lao Tung, under the guns
of war ships, as did General Skaters
army at Baiquri, Cuba.
If this should succeed the Japanese
will be in an excellent position to ex-
ecute flank movement on Lao Yang,
or cut off Port Arthur.
General Kuropatkin recently inspect
ed New Chwang. He is familiar with
the strategic position there and has
disposed a strong force to contest the
Japanese move at that point and if
such a move is made it is believed he
will be able to check it.
Prince Hilkoff, minister of railroads,
left st. Petersburg tonight for Irkutsk,
where he will supervise the completion
of the railroad around Lake Baikal and
expedite the dispatch of troops and
supplies to Manchuria.

His PrOfane Pity for the
Territory of Alaska
SURPRISED THE SENATE
The House Disposed Of the Last OF the
Appropriation Bills - Democrats
Tried in Vain to Put Presidents Old
Age Pension Order on Statute Books

Washington, April 1S.-The senate to-
day continued consideration of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill but did not
conclude it. The bill was passed for
the resurvey and allotment of land in
the Flathead Indian reservation in
Montana. The conference report on the
army appropriation bill was read and
discussed and laid over until tomorrow.
The discussion was on the need of
wagon roads in Alaska, Mr.. Nelson say
ing there was not a single wagon road
in that territory and Mr.. Teller assert
ing that if 100000 could be spent in
the building of such roads there would
be rich return in the increase of gold
production. Messrs. Proctor and
Quarles said that it had been impossi-
bic to secure more than S2J, 900 from the
house conferees. Mr.. Nelson predicted
that within the next generation Alaska
would nave population of a million.
Mr.. Nelson related many details of
his observations in Alaska while visit
ing the country as a member of the
senate committee and he aroused much
interest as he told of it's resources, the
hardships to which settlers are sub
jected and the little that has been done
for the people. He grew especially
Jealous in his presentation of the pro-
duction of precious metals, furs, etc,
and his zeal in this connection was
scarcely exceeded by the Indignation
he exhibited as he depicted the mig
gardliness of the government in deal
ing with the AIaskans.
At last, completely forgetting him
self. he exclaimed: "All this they have
done, Mr.. President, and in return we
have not done id thing for them!"
This statement was a surprise to all
present, apparently as much to the
speaker as to the audience. There has
seldom been as spontaneous an outburst
of laughter in the senate as the ex-
claTatiCn provoked. Mr.. Nelson joined
in the merriment, though with many
evidences of embarrassment. His only
apology was the remark that "some-
times adeictives come from the heart"
and with that he closed his speech.
Further consideration of the confer
ence report was proposed and the fol-
lowing bills passed: Authorizing the
further segregation of coal land in the
Indian territory to correct n mistake
in leases. Interpreting the existing law
relative to the expectation of lead ores.
The senate at $50 went into executive
session and at 5:25 adjourned.

rived in this country few weeks ago,
yesterday issued n challenge to have it
out with Joe Cans. Cooke agrees to
meet the duslSy lightweight champion
at catch-weights for as much money

Somehow I've been ignored, for reasons
1 cannot explain. do not lack in the
way of good backing. 1 can command
any amount up to $1,000. / have q
wealthy hacker in England who will
put up as much money as / request
him. 1 came here ofight Cans, and if
he will take me on at catch weights I
will arrange a bout forthwith" Cooke
is likely looking fellow. He resem-
bles Dave Sullivan very much. Cooke.
according to Charley Mitchell. is one
of the best 140-pounders England has
turned out in years. He thinks he will
make his mark in this country.

SWINDLER OF GALLOWS
One Of Chicago Carbarn Bandits Tries
to Commit Suicide.

Chicago, April 1S.--Peter Neider-
meier, the leader of the car barn
bandits, condemned to die on Friday
made two desperate attempts at sui
eide today. His condition is so pre-
carious that it is feared that he will
not survive. Should he still be alive
next Friday he will be carried to the
gallows to be executed.
The first attempt was made by
swallowing the heads of 75 or 100 sui
phur matches, and tearing open the
veins in his arms with a lead pencil.
The second attempt was after the
wound was dressed and closed by the
county physician. Unnoticed, he
slipped off the bandages, and with his
finger nails tore away the threads and
re-opened the wounds.
He was discovered by the attendants.
The first attempt was nearly success
full, and he may not survive.

FITz FIGHTS A6IAN
He May Appear Before a
Chicago Audience
He Is Hanging Out as Usual for a
Financial Improvement-Other I'm
pending Fistic Events.

San Francisco. April 1S.-Bob Fitz-
simmons is to fight again. His next
appearance in the ring will in all prob
ability be at Chicago. The other day
Fitz received an offer of $3,5OO from
Charles Felte, matchmaker of the Wa
verify A. c., to meet John Willie, the
western heavyweight, in a six-round
bout on May I'd. Although he has not
accepted the offer, the chances are that
he viii do so before the week is out
FitZ originally asked for SO, 800 win, lose
or draw.
But Felte was not inclined to make
such a guarantee in view of the fact
that boxing bouts do not draw as well
in Chicago at present as formerly. The
recent tilt between young Corbett'
and Young Mowatt was a disappoint-
ment from financial point of view, it
is said.
There is a good chance of Kid Nc
Coy and the Cornishman coming to-
gether. AL Smith said that McCoy's
forfeit of $1,000, which George Consi-
dine left there for the kid" a few
days ago, has not as yet been covered.
1t is understood. however, that F'itz
will cover the money within the next
few days.
Before Billy Delaney left for the Pa
cific coast with Jim Jeffries on Friday
FitZ told Delaney to go ahead and ar
range a match for him with Mccoy,
the same to be held in San Francisco
The Cernishman does not like the
idea of lighting six rounds with Mccoy.
He thinks that he can draw n larger
house in a long mill and there are
many who agree with him in this re-
spect. Mccoy is slated to start for
California in company with Jack Mum
roe next week

New York, April 1S.-Charley Mitch
ell has been authorized to arrange a
twenty-round bout between Jabez
White, the lightweight champion of
England ard Terry McGovern. Mitch
ellis authorization to actor White came
in a cablegram from the English light
weights hackers in London. Mitchell

whose hackers are willing to wager
$4,000 that he can defeat the Brooklyn
ite. white has no choice of battle
ground" Mitchell added. HE will
fight McGovern either in America or
England before the club offering the
best financial inducements. The only
condition that White insists upon is
that both men weigh in at 190 pounds
at the ringside. If White and Nc
Govern cannot come to terms, the Eng
lish champion will agree to take on
Jimmy Britt or Young Corbett.' -
