Roosevelt Story Incorrect.

Last nights rumors that President Roose-
welt had rendered his good offices 10 both
parties are incorrect.
The Presidents friendly disposition and
perfect Willingness to undertake 10 open
negotiations, however. are We under
stood and without asking directly that they
BE communicated to Japan Russia could
make known 10 President Rooseve through
Ambassador Cassini the conditions to
which she could not agree while thus glv-
ing Japan an opportunity of knowing Off
cially what the basis of the peace negotia-
tions must be.
Russia avoids the attitude of suing for
peace, or actually submitting proposals,
and besides places the United States and
Great Britain and the powers generally in
q position where they cou d offer Japan ad-
vice as to the reasonabeness of the pro-
posed basis.
Having been apprised of Russia's position
Japan has two alternatives. either to de-
cline absolutely to open negotiations on
such basis or indicate her own attitude.
If the negotiations are opened Russia prob
ably will be prepared to make broad con-
cessions on collateral issues. as stated by
the Associated Press March %.

Decision of Committee to
Consider Rockefeller Gift.
FINAL ACTION TAKEN
AMERICAN BOARD FOR FOREIGN
MISSIONS CAN USE CASH.
Acceptance of Donation Last February
Was Consistent With Custom
of the Church.

BOSTON, March 29.-The American board
of commissioners for foreign missions an
nounced today that its prudential commit
tee had accepted report of the subcom-
mittee recommending the acceptance of the
gift of 100000 by John d. Rockefeller, BIZ
that final action on the matter had been
postponed for two weeks.
The report of the subcommittee, in the
language of a statement issued by the
board today, was received and accepted
as expressing the unanimous judgment Of
the prudential committee and the executive
officers" and was to the effect that the
committee could not accede to the protest
of those who objected to the acceptance of
the gift.
The report also stated that the gift was
offered by Mr. Rockefeller and unanimously
accepted by the prudential committee on
February IA last. 1t says that in accepting
the gift the committee followed the uni
versal custom of the church in the past,
in receiving upon its altars the gifts of
all who We're moved to lay them thereon
No Expression of Sympathy.
The report holds that the acceptance of Il
gift involves no expression of on the oart
of the committee as to the character of the
givers, and to intercept a gift made to
others IN order to express an opinion seems
unwarrantable.
The reason for deferring final action Is
given as follows:
InaSmuch as the protestants have re-
queSted delay, the committee will hold final
action in allegiance for two weeks.
Report Withheld for Short Time.
Dr. James L. Barton, secretary of the
American board of commissioners for for
eign missions, upon arriving at the board
rooms today said the promised statement
with reference to the action of the pru-
Dental committee of the board upon the
John D. Rockefeller gift at yesterdays
meeting could not be given out yet. He
could not indicate, he said, when it would
be ready.
1t is understood that the officials wish to
allow sufficient time for copy of the state
ment to reach all members of the commit
tee who protested against the acceptance Of
the gift by mail before making it public.

Russia Has Indirectly Named
Terms to Japan.
NEGATIVE CONDITIONS
NO CESSION OF TERRITORY AND
NO INDEMNITY.
Story That Roosevelt rendered Offices
is Denied-Czar's Government
Avoids Plea Attitude.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 29.-The AS
sociated Press is in a position to announce
that a step in the direction Of peace actu-
ally has been taken. Russia has indirectly
made known to Japan the negative condi-
ions upon which peace may be concluded.
namely, no cession of territory and no in
demnity, leaving Japan TO determine
whether negotiations can be begun upon
that basis. No reply from Japan has yet
reached the Russian government.
The above represents practically all the
facts obtainabe. Through what channels
Russia has indirectly communicated with
Japan the Associated Press is not in a posi-
ton to state definitely, although there is
reason to believe that it is through the
United States. 1t is practically certain
that France and possibly Great Britain as
the two allies of the beligereats and the
United States the country acting for
Japan have been apprised of Russia's posi-

Only One Hundred Dollars Sc. cured by Burglars Thought
 To be Professionals.

Piggott, March 30.-The safe at the depot was cracked We'd nesday night, some time between the hours of 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The work looks like that of pro- fessional cracksmen, inasmuch as they pretended to use common gun powder when the signs all go to prove that dynamite or giant powder was used in bursting the safe open. The agent, F. E. Gantz, reports that between $1OO and $15O dollars was secured by the burglars. No clues have as yet been obtained, but it is known that the cracksmen went north on the track as far as a mile or so. Col. Broadway, of the rail- road detective association, is here today working on the case.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 SUES CAR LINES For Back Taxes On An Aggre- gate Assessed Valuation
 Of S37O, ,O00,0

Little Rock, March 30. -Attor- ney General Rogers yesterday af- ternoon filed nine back tax suits against private car lines for an aggregate assessable valuation of S37O, 100000, and the end is not yet.
 These suits are similar to the four filed last week in the Pulas- Ri chancery court. They allege that the companies defendant have for the last ten years been operating cars in the state in the transportation of fruit, beer, oil and perishables, without having paid any tax on the same, and that the cars are of the uniform valuation of $1,000 each. It is asked that master be appointed for the purpose of taking the necessary testimony to determine the amount the various compa- nies owe the state.
 The companies against whom suits have been brought are as follows:
 American Refrigerator Transit Company of St. Louis, 6, 900 cars.
 Continental Fruit Express Company of Chicago, 2,000 cars.
 Swift Refrigerator Transpor- tation Company of Chicago, 1, 1000 cars.
 Merchants Despatch Trans portation Company of New York, 4,0O0 cars.
 Santa Fe Refrigerator Des- patch Company of Chicago, 5000 cars.
 Union Refrigerator Transit Company of Milwaukee, 5000 cars.
 National Car Line Company of Chicago, including the Anglo American Refrigerator Car Com- pany, the Hammond Refrigera- tor Line, the Omaha Packing Company Lines and the Kansas City Refrigerator Car Company, 5000 cars.
 Streets Western Stable Car Line, including the Hicks Cattle Car Company, 5000 cars.
 Cudahy Milwaukee Refrigera- tor Line and the .Cudahy Stock Express of Milwaukee, 1000 cars.
 Numerous ether suits are prom ised, the attorney generals mot to being, Let not one guilty pri- vate car company escape.

900 appropriation for the state guard, because some of the mill tiamen assisted in killing the Killough levee bill in the house, went through the senate Thurs day by a vote of 19 to 10, though Senator Harrison of this district made an eloquent appeal for the state guard and protested vigorously against the "get even" purpose of the Rison act.
 The bill appropriating $25, ,00O for state aid to high schools passed the Senate Thursday morning, only six negative votes being recorded, and the measure prohibiting the shipment of in- toxicating liquors into prohibition districts also went through that body.
 The senate defeated by vote of 20 to 12 the Logan bill to an- null the convict contract with the Arkansas Brick and Manufactur- ing Company, which in 1899 was one of Gov. Davis blanks in his campaign platform. Senator Simpson offered a bill annuling all contracts and requiring con- victs to be worked in buildings, for which $240, 900 is to be ap- propriated.
 Senator Rison, the author of the bill to make the office of chief of police in cities of the frst-class elective, was willing to withdraw his pet after mutilation that had destroyed it's effectiveness, for nearly every county containing a city of the frst-class had been exempted from it's provisions.
 q O Q
 The house also passed bill ap- propriating $15, 900 for an annex to the Old Soldiers Home to be used as home for indigent wives, mothers and widows of Confederate soldiers and sailors of the state. The Cache river levee bill was also reconsidered, having failed of passage several days ago, and same passed by vote of 39 to 27.
 The DeRossit bill for the bet ter protection of farmers, mak- it misdemeanor punishable by a fine and imprisonment for a tenant to forfeit a contract with his landlord, was killed in the house Thursday by a vote of 55 to 25, after a heated discussion. MT. Glover declared that it was the object of the planters in the "Black Belt" to manage their tenants so as to keep them in perpetual bondage, which raised a storm that was only quieted in the withdrawal of the charge.
