Russia Wants to Stop War.

London, Feb. 81. "A dispatch to
Reuters telegram company from
St. Petersburg, confirming the asso-
ciated press advices of February II
and Is. from St. Petersburg to the
effect that peace was under consid-
Grafton, adds The conditions on
which Russia is prepared to make
peace have practically been agreed
upon. these are as follows:
Korea to be placed under Japanese
supremacy. Port Arthur and Kiao
Tung peninsula to be ceded to
Japan. Vladivostock to be declar-
ed neutral port with an open door.
The eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international
administration. Manchuria as far
north as Harbin to be restored as
an integral part of the Chinese en-
pire.
The difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity upon which
it is known Japan insists. but it is
thought that this difficulty is not
insuperable. The most trustworthy
opinion at St. Petersburg is that
in view of the internal situation
and the enormous difficulty carry
ing on the war, peace on the terms
will be concluded within a
comparatively short time if the in
demnity question can be arranged,
but it is quite possible that Russia
will risk another battle before
decision is reached.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL CLOSED.
hotel Riverside and Adjacent Property is Now
owned by California Capitalists.

Last Monday the deal was closed
whereby +. J. Warner transferred
to Mulford Haines and Harrison
w. Haines 1922 feet of property
on the southeast corner of Bridge
and Main streets including the
Hotel Riverside, the old Con. I.
building and the buildings occu.
pied by Downey's meat market and
Jensen Bros, the consideration
being $4,000 cash. The Haines
Bros. reside at Santa CRUZ. Calf
ornia. They do not contemplate
change of residence in the i'm
mediate future, but purchased the
property above mentioned after sat-
isfying themselves that the future
prospects of st. Anthony and the
surrounding country were brighter
than anywhere else in the north
west. Haines Brothers are old
friends of John Kruger, cashier of
the Commercial National bank,
and they examined this country at
his instigation. They formerly
were sheepmen in Wyoming, but
now have sufficient means to live
and invest where they choose. 1t
is highly probable that this in
vestment will lead to others of even
more Importance in the near future
by their friends who also are be-
coming interested in this section.
Both gentlemen left for their Cal
lfornia homes yesterday morning
highly pleased with their invest
ment.

Important Will Contest.

A will contest of considerable
Importance. especially from legal
standpoint, will be tried before
Probate Judge Donaldson next
Monday. 1t seems that Mrs. Low
ina Cutshaw. wife of former sheriff
OF Fremont county, ]. B. Cutshaw,
died at her home in Market Lake on
the 18th of December last, and that
two weeks before her death she
made will bequeathing her prop
erty, which is valued at between
$4, 1000 and $5, 600, to several of her
children and leaving others entire
ly unprovided for There are eight
children. five sons and three daugh-
tiers. All she left two OF her
daughters Mrs. Kate Balmer and
Mrs. Sally Ayres, was an old rock
ing chair each. The legal contest
to break the will was started by her
daughter. Mrs. Petit, of Ruby,
Montana. and it is started OH the
grounds that Mrs. Cutshaw was
insane at the time of making the
will and had been for some time
before and until the time of her
death. and that undue influence
had been used by her sons to make
the will as she did. Holden Bros.
are the attorneys for the proponent
and King and Soule are attorneys

MON THlY REPORTS OF THE VARIOUS CITY DEPART MENTS BE MADE TO COUN.
 GIL TONIGHT.
Some of the important Unfinished d Business May Come Up
 for Disposal.

The city council will hold another important meeting tonight. The first meeting of the council in each month Is always an important one, for the reason that the regular monthly re ports of the various departments of tie city government are submitted for the councils approval. But it is us= ualy true. also, that some new bnsi- Eess of Importance presents itself at the first meeting of the month. and tonight $ meeting will doubtless be in terestins in that several matters left over from previous sessions have to be attended to soon, and some of them will likely be reached tonight.
 One Of the most important things to be attended 10 will be the appoint ment of a street commissioner. Y will be remembered that the cor, lately passed an ordinance dividing the dut es of the city engineer and the street committee, creating the of
 
 fee of street commissioner. quite an innovation in local municipal affairs. There are understood to be several applications for the new position. and one of them will be elected tonight.
 Other unfinished business matters of the greatest importance to the city are still or the table, and some of them may be brought up. The matter of the establishment of a new ire station on Lakeside is attractine widespread interest, especially on the part of the residents of that section of the city. The new union station was duly recommended by the fro committee some time ago. but for som" cause or another it has been neglected by the council

HORSE THIEF ChNG EVIDENT THAT ONE IS OPERAT- ING IN AND AROUND PINE
 BLUFF. 4 Score or More of Horses Have Been Stolen Within the Past
 Twelve Months.

That there is a regular gang of horse thieves, or else solitary professional operating in Pine Bluff and surrounding country, appears to te evident from the circumstances. The Graphic pointed this fact out several we ks ago. the occas on being he theft of another horse here. It is now said that fully a score of simila' thefts have occurred here and in ad- jacent territory during the past year, md indications point to the work of a profess onal or a set of professionals The fact that it is so difficult to appre- bend the miscreants and secure t. return of the animals leads to the be- lief that more than one person is in volved.
 It is quite probable that there be Something doing" pretty soon, for the owners of stock are on the aler.

DON'T O0 II PRICE OF QUARREL WITH WIFE 2 FIXED IN THE LOCAL
 POLICE COURT. # Comes High, and Only Benedicts of
 Much Money Can Afford 8 the Luxury.

w It now costs $30 in Julge Toney's Court for man to quarrel with his wife. It should schould be stated here that the tax has been cons .derably raised. w. R. Springfield is the man who wrought this injustice upon dis turbers of domestic infelicity. Spring ' field is we'll known white man of this city. This is not his first offense, for the police have been notified on previous occasions of alleged miscon- duct on his part; but the lindly-dis- posed police judge has heretofore sbeen very lenient with the offender. Springfield sometimes inbibes of the juice of the forbidden fruit, according stc the testimony oI his own son in po lice court Monday morning. He i'm sbibed perhaps too freely last Saturday might, for when he got home his Weeks wages were conspicuous 1by axhe absence from his depleted treas dllu liIS NliC ul'Jl etlItCN iilill lt'
 pt bringing his money home, so both 6e and his son testified in court. A Qlarrel resulted, and Mrs. Springfield used the family broom to some ad- sroptage in expell:ng him from tho Spfemises. Result: MT. Springfield Nas arrested on the charge of dis Sfhrbing the peace.
 g When arraigned in court Monday M orning, Springfield pleaded in de-
 nse that he had paid out his money 4 creditors like all honest men ' ould do, and that he had not spent
 for booze. But Judge Toney told
 m he was not charged with paying Is debts nor of purchasing booze.
 assessing a fine of $30 against the
 efendant, Judge Toney offered, as is
 lite frequent with him, some very
 holesome advice about his future
 nduct and warnings against a repe
 ion of any misconduct on his part.

Der of small holes in the right side
 of the face indicated that he had
 been shot with a shotgun and bruises
 about the face and head denoted that s.tion on the part of many is that the man. w'se ever he was, was shot and clubbed to death and his body thrown into the river at some point above hern
 No motive has been discovered for the dee1, if such is true. Nothinq whatever about the body serves to Il ntifv him. The skin is of such c"'~r that it is impossible to say pos. itivelv whether he was white or col. ored, but if he was a negro he was a very light mulatto. He had been in the water for some time, as is shown bv the state of decOmDosition of the body. The hair is black. and some contended that it was kinky, while others sa d it was not. The surest in- dication of his being white man is found in the feet, which are very small for man of his build. The features of the face somewhat re- semble those of negro, but this ap- pearance may have been given him by blows in the face and head.
 The coroner's verdict was as fol- lows: We find that the deceased. an unknown negro about AZ years of age came to his death by being shot and thrown into the Arkansas river, by unknown parties.

Because he was eoll and sters4d a i fire in box car, burning hole

 court Monday morning. Judge Ton
 ey assessed the mans fine at $5 first
 Ol! the simple charge of trespa ssing
 on the property of the railway com
 ranN; but on learning that a fire had
 Leon deliberately kindled in the car. burning through the floor he raised the fine to $10, and in addition gave the man some good, sound advice about the danger of repeat ng the offense.
 Dunn admitted that he was on the 'pis," and while admitting that there was fire in the car, he denied hay. ing started it or having had anything to do with it. He said that when he got into the car there were two other men ins de. Early in the morning the vatchman at Sawyer and Austin's mill, where the car was standing, aWoke him, and asked about a fire in the ear. There was no fire when he went to sleep, he said, but on being awakened he discovered that a fire had been kindled on the car floor and } hole about six inches in diameter had been burned through.
 The car was standing close to one of the numerous buildings of the big timber plant, and had the fire gotten lnder good headway would probably ;ave set fire to the plant, causing, great loss of property. Dunn will now pay for his offense by work. ng out his fine on the streets.

 The last press dispatch which was received here told of renewed roting in South Russia, detailed a rumor that the czar had been shot and wounded in the arm by a member of his own suite. and stated that there was a feeling of apprehension in the capital that the revolution .sts were contem- plating a general uprising that would bring into line against the govern ment all persons who are dissatisfied with the present system.
 While these reports were probably exaggerated. the fact that they were almost immediately followed by the isolat on of the Russian cities of in,. "n"tance has had depressing effect and has caused alarm that will not be assuaged until communication is again restored.

HARD FOUGHT CASE CONFERENCE MAY HANG SEV. ERAL DAYS ON THE HAW-
 KlNS CASE. Thomas, by Election as Delegate to General Conference, Shows
 Much Strength.

A Camden special Sunday to the News-Sc nitar of Monday morning says While the trial committee of the Little Rock conference was labor ing With the charges against the Rev. j. S. Hawkins. in which he was ar laigned for having made a sensational speech attacking the church admins tration for not having gone into the history of the Rev. James Thomas. the conference elected Rev. MT. Thomas as one of it's three clerical delegates to the general conference of the church.
 This unusual action, in naming for so high an honor member who was under fire at the time, indicated the strength of the Thomas Influence in the conference, and. cane as an in terest ng sequel to the proceedings of the day. The delegates elected were:
 Clerical-The Rev. J. F.. Godbey, lllS ACN " Il cllAQ tllC lNCN. James Thomas.
 Lay-W. c. Radcliffe, c. c. Hen- derson and T. P. Ramsey.
 These delegates go to the general conference at Birmingham in May, at which it has been intimated the right of the Rev. MT. Thomas to a seat will be questioned. The Thomas victory had something of an interesting char acter. The action had been predicted by the ministers, who were in close touch with the situation.
 The trial of MT. Hawkins prooress ed during the afternoon. Evidence had been expected from Bishops Hoss and Key, and when it was found that they could not be present in person. one of the ministers was appointed to take the testimony over the long distance telephone. The innovation of taking testimony for trial over the long distance telephone was but one of the features of the trial.
 Question as to the admissibility of the testimony that had been taken was raised by representative of the prosecution. The case was fought with much earnestness, and it was said that the conference might hang for several days over the contest.
