Lord Lansdowne Declares Their Po.
sition.
Great Britain's determination to pre-
vent the classification of Tibet came
out officially in a recent session OF
the house of commons. Lord Lans-
downe's declaration that II any power

caused stir In the diplomatic world.
second only to the impression result
ing from the same minister's pro-
nouncement some months ago that
Great Britain would oppose by force of
arms any power that might seek to
gain naval or military foothold in the
Persian gulf.
1t is felt now that the Anglo Russian
issue in central Asia has been clearly
joined and that any attempt on Rus
sia's part to ignore the principles emu
merated by Lord Lansdowne will lead
to dangerous crisis.
Colonel Younghusband's expedition
to bet-began the moment the British
government thought 1t would be SER
viceable in relieving Russian diplo-
matte pressure in Toxic. This policy
failed appreciably to affect the Russo
Japanese situation, but will be pros
ecuted all the more vigorously on that
account, since the British government
desires to extend its influence as far
into China from the south as possible
in view Of the possibility of Russian
victories and consequent encroach-
ments from the north.
In other words, Lord Lansdowne is
determined to meet the coming Cos
sack long before he can reach the
Himalayas.

Thousands Of Dollars l1s5 sal.

"Gnity as indicted, - was the YER.
dict announced by the jury in the cost.
flee conspiracy trials The jury had
been out nine hours. It stated that the
verdict was the same as to all four de.
fendants, August w. Machen, late sup
erintendent of the rural free delivery
division; George e. Lorenz of Toledo.
Samuel A. Croft and Diller B. Croft of
Washington.
The crime charged was that of con.
spiracy to defraud the postoffice de-
partment by selling Croft fasteners at
prices several times in excess of that
charged private parties Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Bristow, in
his sensational report, charged that the
defendants have stolen thousands of
dollars. In the dimly lighted room
sat the four defendants who, after the
case was given to the jury, had been
placed in the custody of q United
States marshal, and confined to the
limits of the city hall. Each wore an
anxious look. ard deathlike silence
fell on the small crowd which had
been permitted to enter the room as the
clerk inquired OF the foreman If q YER
dict had been reached. The jury to a
man rose, and as the words guilty as
indicted" fell from the foreman's lips
the defendandts and their counsel
seemed appalled,. During the time the
jury was out the four defendants had
paced up and down the hallway outside
the courtroom and had given expression
to the belief that each hour the Jury
spent in discussing the case brought
them nearer to acquittal. There was
general astonishment that the jury had
included in the conviction Samuel A.
Croft, Washington policeman and in
ventor of the Croft fastener, as to
Holmes Conrad, special counsel for the
government, the day before informed
the jury he did not expect conviction,
and that he personally did not believe
in his guilt.
Five ballots in all were taken. On
the first ballot the vote stood Z to s for
conviction on the second to 4, on
the third 8 to 8, on the fourth 10 to
Q and on the fifth the vote was
unanimous.
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered Charles Douglas, in behalf of
all four defendants, filed motions for a
new trial, for an arrest of judgement
and for an appeal for the purpose of
having the defendants admitted to
bail. Bail was then fixed at $40, Or0
each, the bond Of Lorenzo and the
Groffs being increased from $40, 900.
When Mr.. Maddox, on behalf of the
Groffs. inquired as to the amount of
bail to be required of them, Justice
Prichard said:
Il know no difference between these
defend 4nts. The jury has said they
are guilty, and can not discriminate,
but will treat all alike.
Next to Samuel A. Croft, the most
surprised man was Machen, who said
he was thunder stuck at the verdict.
Justice Prichard later senten ced
Machen, Diler B. Croft and Lorenz
each to two years imprisonment in
the penitentiary and to pay fine of
$4,000 each, the beginning of the sem
tence to be made from the time of their
arrival at the penitentiary.
The court decided 10 make the sew
eral counts in the indictment consti-
tute one offense.

 Republican: Frank Fogle was engaged yesterday afternoon in de- horning about a hundred head of range cattle that had just been brought down from his range on Date creek. They were shipped via the Santa Fe as far as Phoenix and were driven the rest of the way. Another bunch of about the same size will be operated on to- morrow.

Part of a COW and calf were found in the wagon of the party. J. B. Loomis, health seeker from In diana who was travelling with the cowboys, was also arrested.

 At the conclusion of the arguments. Vice Chancellor Bergen dismissed the ap- plicatIon of the Continental Securities Company for an injunction against the meeting of the stockholders of the North ern Securities Company on April 21. The Vice Chancellor stated that there was no question of the right of the Northern Securities Company to reduce its capi- tai stock, which action was conceded to be legitimate; that no proof had been presented that the proposed method of
