ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.-
Russia Is unable to consider the ques-
ton of peace until she has shown the
world her ability to continue the war,
either by massing another great army
or by gaining naval victory. In
view of the latter object, Admiral Ro-
jestvensky will start east on Tuesday.
Gar Is in a Rage
Special Cable to The Globe
LONDON, March 13.-The st. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the Chroni-
Gle telegraphs:
To-day I saw a high parsonage of
the court, who gave me an account of
scenes between the czar and his min
listers of the council on Saturday. The
emperor heard reports from various
ministers as to the situation in GER
tain districts in which absolute dis
order reigns and also received news
announcing the disaster at Mukden.
His majesty in violent terms ac-
cused his ministers of trying to con-
ceal from him the true situation. 1t
was the first time the ministers had
seen the emperor in such temper. No
one stirred. Witte, however, gave the
czar to understand that under such
conditions 1t would be impossible for
the ministers to retain their portfolios.
The czar replied:
"'You may all go when you please
MY informant told me that the czar
leans much on Trepoff, who probably
will be president of the national as
sembly. A commission is being formed
to organize elections for the assem-
bly,"

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Colorado Supreme Court Says It Must

DENVER, Colo, March 13.-The
Colorado supreme court today ruled
that the Joint convention of the legis-
lature cannot adopt the report Of Sem
ator Alexander of the gubernatorial
contest committee, declaring that
neither Alva Adams nor ex-Gov. Pea
body was elected governor. 1t is the
decision of the court that the assembly
must decide the contest between the
contestor and contestee, and cannot
consider seating Lieut.. Gov. Mcdonald
as governor.
1t is probable that the final DISPOSE
ton of the contest will be made by the
joint assembly at tomorrow's sitting.

directly with Japan, without the aid
OF any third nation. This Is in line
with the dream of many leading Rus
slams that the natural allies in the
far east are Japan and Russia, they
being the only nations whose domains
border on Korea and Manchuria, both
having other interests there besides
those of trade.
AT neutral embassy in London the
opinion was expressed that the Ger
man emperor will be the peacemaker
for Russia.
The Russian general staff reports
that "the main body has already COM
pleted its retreat and the rear guard
southwark are falling black slowly"
What either the "main body" or the
rear guard" consists of has not been
definitely fixed, but from the dis
patches from correspondents with the
Japanese and Russians the two COM
bined must be but small portion of
the army which Gen. Kuropatkin had
gathered. And yet those who have
reached Tie pass, worn out from days
OF hghting and retreating, are not now
out OF danger, the Japanese, 1t is re-
ported, having already started another

but 1t Is hardly possible that the pass
can be held in the face of the over
whelming forces opposed to the Rus
slams, and it is not likely that Oyama
will rest satisfied with his victory at
Mukden as he did after Liaoyang.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 13.-In
the lower house of the legislature to-
night Representative Mckinley of Chi
cago introduced an antitrust bill
drawn by Attorney General Stead and
indorsed by Gov. Deneen. The defini-
ton of trust Is enlarged to include
both life insurance companies and un-

of graduate fines for corporations vio-
lating the act, similar system for the
officers of the corporations, and 1t is

shall be entitled to sue and recover
twofold all damages sustained.

The ultimate disposition of the COM
promise agreement entered into be-
tween the city and the street railway
company has practically resolved itself
into a question of its legality.
In statement which appears here
with John D. O'Brien not only con-
firmed the opinion he had heretofore
expressed regarding the illegality of
the clause appearing in the agreement
purporting to extend the right of ap-
peal to three years, but cites a.recent
decision of the appellate court sustain
ing his view.
This is in direct contradiction to the
stand taken by Corporation Attorney
Michael. who vigorously asserts that
the city does not lose it's right to ap-
peal within three years, on account OF
the peculiar wording of the stipula-
ton, which provides for setting aside
the judgment so that it may be again
reentered for the purpose of appeal.
When confronted with the opinions
Of not only Mr.. OBrien, but of other
attorneys of note, Mr.. Michael abso-
lutely refused to attempt to show
where they erred, but asserted that
they were all wrong and that he was
right.
MichaeI's View of Case
"Any attorney" said Mr.. Michael,
'wlho will state after he has deeply
considered the terms of the agreement
entered into by the city and the street
railway company that it is illegal in
any part is legal imbecile."
Mr.. O'Brien made this statement of
his opinion of the case:
The strategic point in the whole contro-
versy with the street railway company
was the decision in the federal court. The
street railway company had been for some
time endeavoring to obtain a decision of
a court favorable to their contention. The
first attempts took the shape of some
nonresident apparently making a furious
attack upon the street railway company
for threatening to lay a track in front of
a cheap lot in some outlying district. This
was generally understood to be a sham
battle. Finally by some means the rail-
way company seems to have got the city
itself into the federal court, and there an
ofrhand decision was rendered by the
Judge in which every claim that the COM
pany made was granted and every right
that the city asserted was denied. The
court in making the decision stated that
he supposed the decision would be appeal
ed from. The anxiety of the street car
company to prevent an appeal being taken
from this decision shows its Importance to

The Merriam Park Improvement as
sociation has added its voice to the
general cry for a rescission of the
compromise agreement accepted by the
city and the street railway company.
At a regular semi-monthly meeting
held by the association last night in
the Merriam Park bank, which was
largely attended by the representative
citizens of the park, a resolution was
adopted deprecating the terms of the
agreement and instructing the alder
man to use all honorable means to Sc
cure a rescission of the resolution, so
that an appeal might be taken from
Judge Lochren's decision.
Each clause of the agreement was
carefully read and considered by the
association. Dispassionate discussions
were indulged in regarding the benefits
accruing to the company and city, and
at the conclusion of the meeting, when
the resolution, which appears above,
was read and put to vote on its adop-
ton, there was not dissenting voice
heard.

Without going into the legal phases
of the question, but sticking close to
the line of what the city gained by the
compromise as compared TO the large
concessions received by the company,
it was the consensus that a great blum

DIPPING CATTLE IN OIL.

Beaumon. oil for mango Is progress
ing in the mos. satisfactory manner.
Already about 1900 cattle have been
dipped and there will be 2 1000 dipped
altogether. 1t was feared that perhaps
the oil might prove Injurious to the
cattle and the dipping has been pro.
crossing slowly in order to see the eff.
fects under all kinds OF weather con.
ditions. Thus far there has not been
a particle of trouble. The cattle are
put through the dip as fast as they
spreads to every part of the animal.
The cattle have been dipped in the
open, and are turned out on pasture
as soOn as they come from the dipping
pen. In a few moments they go to
feeding or chewing their cud and there
is apparently no i'll effects whatever.

ing the work. 1--WE seem to have
demonstrated thav this oil will not in
jure the cattle and it now only re.
mains to be seer if it will effectually
cure scab. The cattle dipped will
have to be kept under observation
and their condition noted as COM
pared to that of cattle not dipped.
If the scab is cured, then we have
found the solution TO the mango prob.
lem.
LAS to the expense of the dip, we
cannot tell yet. The animals are in
the dip but a few seconds but they
carry out about three gallons Of the
dip each, as nearly as we could esti-
mate. The oil is light. but it clings in
the hair and spreads to every part of
the body. OF course We cannot tell
how long the oil will remain on the
animal and what the ultimate effect
will be. AS far as the experiment has
gone, however, the oil will do the
work claimed, its use for this purpose
Is feasible. The oil vas brought up
in a tank car and no water was put in
the vat, the vat being filled with oil
just as it came from the wells. There
is much interest in the experiment
among the cattlemen and they are all
delighted with the results so far as We

best known men in Philipsburg, was
probably fatally shot at a late hour
last night. while escorting two women
to their homes. The women were Mrs.

The women maintain that German
shot himself through the breast just

he was shot by an unknown man. .Af.
ter being shot, German staggered
