Kansss City, No, May 8. Very
light cattle receipts last week
helped the market in different
waysl Is TO 20 cents was added to
prices on nearly all kinds of cattle,
and packers got rid of part of
the atutf in their coolers, leaving
the situation considerably better
than close OF previous week. The
supply today is larger than week
ago. but the market is able TO
stand . little more this week, and
u about steady on desirable kinds,
a.hefs weak to 10 cents lower,
stockers'and feeders steady. Coun.
ttrI grades Of cattle have held up
better lately than killing cattle, as
|it looks like better proposition
this year than last, and demand
from the country is very good.
Prices of stockers and feeders are
40 to so cents higher than at this
time last year, whereas fat cattle
are Is cents to dollar higher
than a year ago. A good many
hay fed cattle from Colorado, Mon
tans and Utah we're here last week,
weights from 800 to 100 pounds,
and sold at $4.25 to S475. Quite
e number Of high grade light
weight Panhandle stockers we're
a.ao included, selliug up to $3.50.
HAY fed steers suitable for the
packets were scarce, but a few sold
at 4.65 to S4.75. Corn fed brand
cd steers sold at $500 last week,
the extreme top for the week. Un.
less exct ssive runs are received
this week, the market should hold
about steady, as the demand is
able to absorb ordinary supplies
all right.
Sheep and lambs finished last
week about steady with close of
previous week, after selling lower
about the middle Of the week.
R,.nawas not heavy, as most of the
fed stuff has been marketed. and
run from Texas and Arizona is
only just started. Supply today is
liberal ut 1000 head, market
steady and active. Six loads of
Texas sold at 81. Is for wethers and
81 SO for ewes and wethers mixed,
today. This made up the offerings
from Texas. Choice fed Mexican
lambs sold at $6 IS today, which
ls about the limit on fed lambs.
Choice clipped lambs sell at S.
to $500, wethers 81 CD to $3.50.
Range on fed yearlinss is from
So. to IS. wethers $3.50 to IS, %,
ewes 1925 to $6.25, these prices
including both clipped and wooled
stock. Large numbers of sheep
and lambs are being held in feed

WORLDS BEST
BATTLESHlP
Eneland's Master Piec. Equal
to Any Two Nov
AfIOat.
ONLY BIG GUNS ARE TO DC UsED

London, July 13.-The construction
OF the largest and most powerful bat
tie ship in the world is soon to begin
at the Portsmouth dock yard. II Is
planned to build the vessel from the
laying of the keel to the hosting of
the pennant, in a period of sixteen
months. Thirty TO thirty-six months
Is the average time at present devot-
ed to the building of battle ships of
smaller size. This rapidity is calcu-
lated 10 result in great economy, but
nevertheless, the cost is estimated at
nearly $l0,000,000. SO heavily will
this vessel be armed that she will be
equal to any two battle ships now
afioat, and her striking power at such
range as that at which the engage
ment opened in the battle of the Sea
OF Japan, will be as great as any three
battle ships of the ordinary type. The
displacement will be about $4,000
tons. The Deadnought, as this bat
tie ship will be called, win mount
twelve Pinch guns of the latest type,
throwing three 500-pound shells every
two minutes. The vessel will be
driven by turbines, and will be able
TO steam at upwards of twenty knots
an hour. She will carry no secondary
armament.
The elimination of the six-inch guns,
borne by practically all the battle
ships OF the world hitherto, is one of
the main lessons deducted from the
long range actions which have been
fought in the far east. The essential
feature of a battle ship in modern
conditions, it is now realized, must
be ability to deliver stunning blows
at distance OF five or six miles, and
this, the Deadnought, with her dozen
great guns, win be able to do with ter
rific effect. No battle ship has hith-
erto mounted more than four of these
weapons.

WITTE WILL REPRESENT
RUSSIA AT CONFERENCE

st. Petersburg July 1S.-Emperor
Nicholas has signed the appointment
of NJ. Witte, president of the commit
tee Of ministers, to be chief plenipo-
tentiary representing the Russian gov
ernment in the peace negotiations to
be conducted next month in the Uni
ted States. The appointment, which
was signed after midnight, clothes
Witte with plenary powers. The Off
cial notification of the designation Of
Wltte to head the mission was for
warded to Washington this morning.
Sergius Witte, Russian plenipotent-
iary may be regarded as the leading
liberal statesman of Russia. For the
last thirteen years he has been one
of the strongest personalities in Rus
sian beaucracy, although his political
fortunes received a setback when he
was compelled to resign the portfolio
of mig lister of finance in August, 1903
and again, when after being appointed
president OF the council of ministers
in the same month his Office gradually
lost its importance until rumors of his
intention to resign and go abroad had
been persistently circulated. Witte is
56 years old and has steadily worked
himself up from the position of under
paid railroad clerk, who occasionally
acted as porter to leading Russian
statesmen. He was created a count in
1901. Witte is thoroughly familiar with
the far eastern question in all It's bear
ings. He understands the Japanese
position and fully realized before the
war that aggressive policy being push
ed under the lead Of Viceroy Alexieff.
At one time Witte talked over the
situation with Marquis Ito, president
of the Japanese privy council and one
of the leading statesmen of Japan.
Practically 1t was Whites disapproval
of Russia's far eastern policy and the
creation of viceroyalty in the far east
which caused the down fall of Witte.

New York, July 12.-With $4,000
subscribed today toward his expedition
to reach the north pole, Robert e.
Peary announces that he will start
this week for the no. tn. Commander
Peary's new Arctic snip, the Roose-
welt. has been waiting several days
for supplies, which could not be
bought on account of lack of funds.
The polar expedition, which has
been in preparation since October 10,
1904. has cost $4,000, including to-
days subscriptions. The entire
amount has been given by American
business men to the Peary Actic club,
whose members are anxious that none
but Americans have hand in tuls
polar expedition.
Nor is X. Jessup, president of the
club, subscribed $4,000 today, and
Thomas II. Hubbard gave check for
$4,000
Mr.. Hubbard also offered to join
with any "believer" in the north
pole expedition in putting $4,000 into
a fund to be divided among the mem
bers of the Peary party in case they
succeeded in reaching the pole and re-
turning to New York within eighteen
dlISl InSIA uCpii luiS.
In announcing that his ship is at
last ready, Commander Peary today
made public for the first time a dona-
tion OF $4,000, given by George
Crocker, in January.
The $4,000 received yesterday
would be expended, Mr. Peary said,
for hand-picked coal and additional
scientific instruments. His party is
complete, with the exception of a
surgeon.
Mrs. Peary will probably sail with
the expedition. From here the Roose-
welt will proceed to Sydney, Cape Bre-
ton, where the New York crew will
give up the ship to a picked crew,
which is already waiting on the Erik,
a coal ship, which will accompany the
Roosevelt to altitude 79. The Erik
will then return south, bringing Mrs.
Peary with her.
