st. Petersburg. March 25. = The
ministers and supporters of the court
who advocate the submission of pa
cific proposals to Japan as previously
set forth in these dispatches so as to
ascertain whether an honorable basis
of peace is possible have carried the
day and the Associated Press hears
on high authority that an actual step
IL imminent if not already taken.
Washington, March 25. = The sud-
den growth of the sentiment in Rus
sian circles in favor of peace is not
at all surprising to the officials here
because it is in line with the predic-
tons of the American embassy in st.
Petersburg when last heard from on
this subject. In fact, it was gathered
that the real obstacle in the way of
beginning negotiations to this end
was to be found rather in the jeal-
ousies of European powers outside of
Russia than in the cars own court.
There has for some time been sub
stantial evidence that by the execu-
ton of quiet pressure from the out
side upon the st. Petersburg govern
ment, it might be induced to break
the deadlock in the situation which
results from the reluctance of each
beligerant as matter of pride, to
making the first ovcrtures for peace,
but just at this point the efforts of the
real friends of peace are said to have
been negatived by the fear of some
of the European powers that their
interests might suffer in a settlement
which they did not themselves ar
range.
There is reason to believe now,
however, that the great financial in
terests of London, Berlin and Paris,
looking to their salvation and the Sc
curity of their enormous Russian
leans, have risen above national lines
and that to the exertion of their pow
erful influence is due the promise of
peace in the near future.

must be using vinegar for bathing, as
he had already seen the same demi-

ed out small quantity of vinegar and
discovered an extra cork in the bot

three gallons of gin. The vinegar be-

the inspecting officer at the gangway

Says Situation In Norway and swed-
en- Is Graver Than Understood.
London, March 26.-Dr. Nansen, the
Arctic explorer, who is making a
short stay in London to discuss scien-
tific matters with the Royal Geog-
raphical society, being interviewed on
the consular difficulty between Nor
way and Sweden, said that the situa-
ton was graver than is generally I'M
derstood abroad, and that there was
a very serious danger to the union
If Sweden persisted in refusing Nor
ways undisputed rights. Then ex-
planning the history of the dispute in
detail, DR.. hansen said that the con-
sular question involved a test as to
whether Sweden was prepared hon.
estly and honorably to carry out the
treaty of union or whether Norway
was to become a mere Swedish de-
tendency. Owing to the fact that
Sweden is protectionist and Norway
free trade, and because of Norway's
more extensive sea trade and other
Emergencies of commercial interests,
LII. INduSSu SdlQ II WAS dDSOlulely eS-
sential for Norway to have her own
consular service; but since Sweden's
breach of faith in her failure to carry
out the agreement on the subject ar
ranged in 1902, the Norwegians were
reluctantly driven to the conclusion
that it was useless to enter into fur
Their negotiations.
We wish the union maintained, -
DR.. hansen continued, but it must
be on the unalterable foundation of
equal rights of both states. No gov
eminent that can possibly come into
power in Norway will adopt any other
policy
In conclusion Dr. Nansen emphati-
cally denied the rumors that Norway
would offer territorial or other conces-
'sions, with view to obtaining Rus
sian aid in the unhappy dispute, and
declared that was the last thing in the
world Norwegians would dream of

BEEF TRUST INVESTIGATION.
Witnesses Are Examined Before The

Chicago, March 25.-Twelve out-of-

employed by various packing firms

testified before the special grand jury
which is hearing evidence against the
so-called beef trust.
Although the censorship against
any publicity of what transpires in the
jury room is as strict as on the first

public, it was learned tonight that

At Meeting Held the Vote Was
Made Unanimous.
Denver, March 26.-At a meeting of
the local smelter mems union the
strike in the Globe and Grant smelt-
ers was declared off by unanimous
vote. The passage of the eight-hour
law recently by the legislature inf1u-
enced the action. The members be-
lieve that the provision of the law
which says that all men coming in
contact with noxious gases shall work
only eight hours can be interpreted to
include all smelter men. for the rea-
son, they say, that the smelter fumes
and gases are so penetrating as to
affect persons and property in the vi
cinity of smelters and certainly must
have effect upon the men employ
ed in and around the plants them
selves.
Eight hundred men employed in the
Globe and Grant shelters struck on
July so, 1903, and, according to the
statement of Secretary Haywood Of
the Western Federation of Miners,
but per cent of this number return
ed to work. The Grant has been idle
continuously since the strike, al
though the Globe has been operating.
The cause of the strike was the re-
fusal of the demand of the men for an
eight-hOur day.

and, most interesting of all, the Chat

latter was built in 1765 by Gertrude

Louis. From him was descended the
last French governor of Quebec at the
time of the capitulation in 1859.
