Seeking to Indict.

Chicago, March 26.-"From the
trend of questions asked me, be-
lieve that the grand jury is seeking
to indict, and is not making plain
investigation for purposes OF general
information" said Michael R. Mur-
ply, Cudahy's general manager in the
west after he left the grand jury
room at the beef trust investigation.
"While the questions asked were gem
eral in nature, some points raised
showed clearly that the jury is going
deeply into the subject and the inei-
dents upon which information is be-
ing sought are of al most significant
nature.
"The jury means business. was
even questioned about the crop condi-
tions. Sales and shipping were two
subjects touched
1t is said District Attorney Morrf
son is paying considerable attention
to the question of railroad rates for
meat and cattle shipments and the
question of whether rebates are being
paid the packers because of their
large shipments, thus discriminating
against smaller shippers.

start on long drive and fs't the
need of stimulant en- route, will
have to pay a rectifer's license. This
is the latest order from the internal
revenue department and is of interest
to every retail liquor dealer in the
state Notice to this effect has been
received by the deputy collector for
this district, Fred w. Agate, with in
structions to make the new rule
known to all interested.
The notice to Mr. Agate says that
The general terms of ruling 41S have
been understood as permitting retail
liquor dealers to compound liquors in
considerable quantities, for sale N
small lots, without paying special IL
cense as rectifiers. That there may
1e no further misapprehension on the
subject the terms of the ruling have
been modified by one subsequent,
made February 2. 1905, in which it is
held that where a retail dealer com.
rounds any quantity of liquor and
keeps it in stock in advance of or
Gers therefor he should be reported
for assessment as a rectifier.
Under this later ruling all dealers
who compound liquors will have to
pay the special tax of $100 a year
imposed upon rectifers.

CONFERENCES SAID TO HAVE
BEEN HELD IN COPENHAGEN.
FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN
st. Petersburg Knows Terms Toxic
Government Is Willing to Grant
1t Is Said Russian Can Accept.

St. Petersburg, March 26-The in
formation contained in these dis
patches for more than a week regard
ing the change in Emperor Nicholas
attitude concerning the advisability
of making a pacific proposal to Japan
is fully confirmed, and in very high
quarters peace within six weeks is
regarded as certain. The positive
ness with which this is affirmed
would indicate that the government
is already in possession of informa-
ton as to the Japanese terms, which
ind cer1e a basis to which Russia can
agree.
The exact situation is shrouded in
mystery. The secret Of what has
been done and what is being done is
closely kept. The Associated Press
hears, however, from a source close
to the throne, that pour parleurs are
actually in progress, but possibly
only of a preliminary character, and
that Copenhagen may be the scene OF
the first exchanges between represen-
tatives of the two powers. In this
connection Importance is Deing at
tached to the visit of M. d'Iswolski,
Russian minister at Copenhagen, and
Baron Rosen, former Russian minis.
ter to Japan, and M. Bompard, the
French ambassador 10 Russia, on
Tuesday. The parties to this confer
ence refuse to admit that significance
is attached to it.

peace. In this connection it has late
ly been urged that Emperor Nicholas
make peace, the king of Portugal be-
ing the latest to make an appeal.
This pressure from Europe, together
with the military and financial re-
verses, appears to have influenced
Emperor Nicholas to try some accept
able settlement.
Owing to the growing defniteness
of the peace reports officials and dip
lomats here are discussing how ST.
Petersburg, and Toxic will he able to
treat directly while the usual chan
nels of communication are severad.
1t is said that this is likely to occur
by meeting in neutral cap.tal,
similar to the informal meeting al
ready held, and mention is made OF
Stockholm as AN advantageous place.

PACKERS ADVANCE QUOTATIONS
TWICE IN A WEEK.
PORK LOINS TAKE The LEAD
Purchase Price of Livestock at Stock
yards Has Not Advanced In
Same Ratio.

Kansas City, March 26.-The pack
ers seem 10 be needing the money for
their defense at Chicago, for they
have raised the price OF meat twice
since Sunday, although they have
been paying little if any more at the
yards for stock
Pork loins and all fresh pork have
gone up from 71a cents to 91a cents,
26 per cent, in five days. There has
also been a slight advance in price of
mutton, lamb and beef, the latter hay
ling gone up " cent a pound
In spite of the advance in prices by
the packers, the retailers have not
changed the prices which have pre-
vailed for several weeks, but they
say they will have to mark everything
UP if the packers give the screws an
other turn.

AGREEMENT WITH SAN DOMINGO
Minister Dawson Concludes Negotia.
tions-UncIe Sam to Take Charge.

IlOHS-OHCIS 0dH1 10 dkS SIldTSSs
Washington, March 26.-Renewed
interest in San Domingo affairs was
manifested in official circles yester-
day upon the receipt by the state de.
rtartment of a cablegram from Minis
ctr Dawson indicating that he had et-
fected with the Dominican govern
ment a tentative agreement, which,
temporarily at least, would adjust sat
isfactorily the fiscal condition of the
island. No explicit information con-
cerning the contents of Minister Daw,
sons cablegram is available at this
time las it has not been communicate
ed to President Roosevelt. 1t is be-
lieved to be of such Importance, how
ever, that the president will take ac
ton on it as soon as it is made
known to him.
While the precise nature OF the ne
gotiations between Minister Dawson
and the Dominican officials cannot be
learned, it is understood that it con-
templates the placing of the fiscal at
fairs of the island government, so far
as the collection of revenues in con-
cerned, in the hands of a commission
er, to be designated by President
Roosevelt, with the consent of the Do
minican government. The revenues
of the island would be collected by
the commissioner, sufficient percent
age of them being placed to the credit
of the Dominican government to pay
current expenses, and the remainder
deposited as fund to pay the foreign
claims of the island government at
such time as a distribution of the
fund may be agreed upon by the cred
itors.
1t is intimated strongly that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would receive such a
proposition with favor, if it should be
known to be satisfactory to the San
Dominican government, although in
entering into the agreement, if it act
ually has been made, Minister Daw-
son acted without instructions from
this government and upon his own ini-
tiative.

KENNEDY VS.. DIcklE.
Famous Land Controversy Finally
Reaches interesting Stage.

reaches interesting Stage.
A jury is occupied today in the dis
trict court in listening to testimony
in the famous Kennedy-Dickie contro-
versy involving title to a piece al
land east of the city The matter has
been in the courts in different forms
and has also run the gauntlet of the
general land office.
The present plaintiff is not the orig
inal party to the suit, being Mrs.
Catherine Kennedy, widow of E. E.
Kennedy and administrative of the
estate left by her husband. The pur-
pose of the present suit is to have set
aside patent to the land at issue
Originally the matter came up in the
land office and the effort to have the
Kenndy entry cancelled failed and
patent issued. ~
AS the burden of proof in this in
stance rests upon the defendant he
was obliged to open the case, which
he did by his attorney reading the
plaintiffs complaint and his answer
there to. The latter is exceptionally
long and contains many and some de-
cidedly sWeeling allegations.
The jury is composed of H. B.
Drum, w. c. Blaine, A. A. Beck, G.
Van Wegnen, A. Arvidson, F. H. Het-
ford, R. 5. Montgomery, Martin
Burns, j. W. Brannan, William Jelli-
son, Walker Browning and John Hol-
lister.
Permission having been granted
the county attorney this morning filed
an information against H. A. Beck,
Iwho was arrested last week for pass
ing several forged checks, charging
the crime of forgery. This afternoon
the prisoner was arraigned and saia
he was without means to employ
counsel. The court appointed F. IL.
Hathhorn for the defense and ordered
! the defendant committed in default of
bail until tomorrow morning at 9
o CLOCK, When ne is to plead.
Hearing of the case of Alexander
Talfourd VS.. John Steel, an action for
damages and injunction growing out
of a controversy over certain irriga.
tion bitches owned by the parties to
the suit, was completed. The jury
found for the defendant.
The defendant failing to answer, a
default was ordered entered in the
case of Georgia F. Lawrence VS..
Frank Lawrence, an action for di-
vorce. The plaintiff and her attorney,
H. A, Firth, gave their testimony and
a decree was ordered. Desertion and
non-support were the grounds alleged.

MONEY FOR MILK RIVER.
Million Dollars Set Aside for Reclaim
alton Project.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
Hitchcock has set aside $1,O00,00O
Professionally, from the reclamation
fund, for the construction of storage
works on st. Mary's river in Monta-
ma and for the diversion of the stored
water to the head of Milk river in
that state. Milk river rises in the
United States, flows into Canada and
along the international boundary and
then returns to the United States,
where it's waters have been used for
many years for irrigating thousands
of acres of land The Milk river pro,
ject includes an area of approximate
ly 100000 acres of exceptionally fine
land, a large percentage of which is
yet public domain.

Washington Diplomat Discusses Sit
uation.

uation.
Washington, March 26.-When the
didspatch from st. Petersburg regard
ing peace was shown the diplomat
on whose authority the Associated
Press on March Is announced from
Washington that the Russian emperor
knew the general terms ON which
Japan would conclude peace, he said:
'The source of my original informa-
ton on this subject was a high one,
but it is gratifying to receive this
confirmation. The European powers,
notably France, have for some time
been endeavoring to find out on what
terms Japan would accept peace.
These have been ascertained in gen
eral way, and have been communicate
ed to St. Petersburg. When he called
the war council on March IA the em-
peror knew these terms and doubtless
communicated them to his ministers.
THE reason for Japan's apparent
reticence regarding the opening OF
peace negotiations is not due, as far
as l can learn, to a desire to continue
the war; but because the Toxic gov
ernment wishes to be certain that
Russia is proceeding in good faith
and is not playing for time, as she
did in the negotiations prior to the
war"

Murder and Suicide.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 26.-The
coroner's inquest on the body of At
torney Charles r. Rogers and his
wife, who were found shot to death
in their home Friday, was held here
yesterday and verdict of murder
and suicide reached. No motive was
found for the killing, aside from Rog-
ers' known jealousy of his wife, to
whom he had been married but four
months.

MANY INTEND TO VOTE.
Registration for City Election Heav-
lest Ever Recorded.

Registration for City Election Heav-
lest Ever Recorded.
When Registrar Parker closed his
ASoohs last Saturday evening it was
on the heaviest registration ever re-
corded for a city election in the his
tory of Billings A total of l,O32
names had been enrolled. Promise is
made that many more will be added
when the register is re-opened next
Friday, March 81, for the benefit OF
those who were out of the city or uD-
able to register on account of sick
ness.
Just what the number will be is, OF
course, not known, but estimates
place it as high as so. Many who Wia
then register are train men, running
on the branch lines, who, because OF
the time of their departure and ar
rival were unable to appear during
the hours when registrations were
made There are quite few whs
were absent from town, and some whe
were sick.
Two years ago the total registratioE
was only 734. This was regarded as
very good. Then, as now, several
candidates for the mayorality were in
the field and interest ran high, but
did not compare with that manifested
now
Last spring. when only aldermen
were voted for, the city's total vote
was but 456. Allowing for the usual
percentage of defaults, the vote this
year will be more than double of last
year.

Paris Says Russia Has Already Taken
Steps.

Steps.
Paris, March 26-lt is said in quar-
tiers having means of information that
Russia's steps toward peace have al
ready taken tentative form at pr1-
vate conference held within recent
DAYS at one of the small capitals OF
northern Europe The purpose OF this
appears to have been to bring togeth-
er personages representing both sides
neither having credentials to discuss
formal terms of peace, but to inform
ally learn what each side expect,
and what tentative basis seemed pos
sible. The nature of this exchange
does not warrant its being considered
"a definite peace movement, but it is
understood to have given each side
an opportunity to Judge the value OF
the other and it has clearly shown
Russian disposition towards peace
There is reason to believe that both
st. Petersburg and Toxic know the
results of this conference and that 1t
is a basis for renewed St. Petersburg
reports that peace Is imminent. How
ever, the discussion does not seem TO
have resulted In much progress, as
everything awaits Russia's willing
ness to adopt official steps TO secure
