Right Hand Man Of
Armour Accused
by Grand Jury.
Thomas ]. C0nnOrS Charged
With Interfering With
Witness.
Said to Have lrleG to Hfuenc3 Men in
Their testimony in inquiry lnio
Packers Business

CHICAGO. March 28.-The Federal
Grand Jury tonight returned an in
dictment against Thomas J. Connors.
general superintendent OF Armour S
Co, on a charge of interfering with
witness summoned to appear before
the jury now investigating the So
oalled beef trust. Connors. who is J..
Ogden Armour's most confidential en-
ploye and the active head of one OF
the largest packing companies of the
world, was arrested on bench war
rant by a deputy United States mar
shal and brought TO the Grand Jury
room where he was released on $1,000
bond. After his release Connors re-
fused TO disucss the matter
The indictment charges that John
Edward Shields OF Brooklyn. former
enploye of Armour & Co. who tesfi-
ned before the Grand jury. was ap-
preached, favored and entertained by
Connors, and specifically states that
on March % the offense was commit
ted uDon which Connors was indicted.
1t is also charged that Shields was Civ
en- the use of Armour & Co.'S offices at
200 La Sale street to transact his
business while in Chicago and also the
use OF the private telegraph wires in
the office of the packing company.
Another allegation is that Shields was
entertained by Connors and that Con-
nors suggested that Shields should tes-
tify favorably to Armour & Co. and
not tell all that he Knew concerning
the matter under investigation.
The second count of the Indictment
charges that Connors Gid not limit his
attempt at influencing witnesses to
Shields, but that other witnesses, who
have not yet appeared in Chicago
have been approached by him and at
tempts made to influence them as to
the nature of the testimony they may
give before the Grand Jury.
When the special Grand Jury con-
vened last week. Shields was one of
the first witnesses to appear He
came to Chicago from New York He
had testified before a Grand Jury sit
ting in New York and there is said
TO have divulged facts which led the
Federal officials TO believe him in pos
session Of many other details concern
ing the question under consideration.
He was requested to come to Chicago
and the Federal officials were instruct
ed to watch the man closely. Two
men were detailed to watch Shields
One of these secret service men OBJ
tanned Shields confidence and thus
learned facts which doubled the pre-
cautions of the Government 10 pre-
vent any OF the witnesses from being
coached. Shields was followed by
these detectives and it was learned
that he freQuented the offices of Ar
mour & Co., having a private wire at
his disposal and answering all his pri-
vate correspondence there.
The matter reached a climax yes
terday when one of the secret service
men submitted report to his superb
ors. To-day Shields was in the Grand
Jury room from o'clock to O'clock
The section of the statutes under
which the indictment was drawn pro-
vides that any person who interferes
with a witness shall be subjected to a
fine of $500 or Imprisonment for three
months or both.

JAPANESE AGAIN ADVANCING.
Renew the Pursuit Of the Army OF
General Linevitch.

GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, March
28.-The Japanese are again moving
forward and the Russian guard has
fallen back from its position about
thirteen miles north of Sipinhai (sev-
enty-four miles north of Tie Pass) to
Chaoumiaodzi, which is situated forty
miles below Gunshu Pass.
Practically complete reports show
that the Russian army sacrificed gen.
eral commissariat stores to the value
of S1,25O,000 and stores for an army
corps amounting to $500,000 held at
Mukden, most of it having been set
on fire. The boots and uniforms
among the stores, of which the whole
army was in need, arrived from Fsu-
rope four days before the Russian re-
tirement from Mukden.
General Kuropatkin ordered the re-
moval of the stores, but his order was
not executed. An investigation will
be made to establish the responsibility.

WHY THE WAR WAS BEGUN.
Russia Refused TO Regard Japan a.
China's Guardian.

PARIS, March 28.-The press is in a
position to complete the diplomatic
story of the usso-Japanese relations,
resulting in the war. by giving to the
world the exact text of Russia's final
reply to Japan, dated February 3, 1904,
which has never before been made
public. Baron Roseri, former Russian
Minister to Japan, did not have an
opportunity of presenting the note to
Baron Komura, the Japanese Foreign
Minister, as it was not delivered to
him until February z, the day after
he had been informed of the rupture
Russia has always claimed that the
japanese Government, having decided
to break off negotiations and begin
hostilities, deliberately held UP the
message at Toxic until Kurino, former
Japanese Minister in st. Petersburg.
could deliver the instructions sent to
him on February to sever diplomatic
relations. Japan, on the contrary con-
tended that the contents of the reply
having been substantially communi-
Gated by Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
to Kurino and being unacceptable on
the main issue, 1t was useless for ia
pan to wait any longer. The text Of
the proposition follows:
l. mutual engagement TO respect the fnde-
pendence and territorial integrity Of Korea
2 An engagement on the part OF Russia
not to impede the commercial or Industrial
undertakings OF Japan in Korea, oppose her
measures fer safeguarding such interests.
B. Recognition by Russia of Japans pre-
ponderating interests in Korea, and her right
to offer advice and assistance tending to the
Improvement OF the administration of Korea
t. mutual obligation not to any part
OF Korean territory for strategic purposes.

military works which would menace free

g. Recognition by Russia of Japans right

Special Dispatch to IN. Call

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. March 2S.-President
Roosevelt has elected to go ahead In
dependently OF the Senate in solving
the Dominican problem, and at the
same time that he announces this de-
cision he proclaims a protectorate over
the island for the purpose OF keeping
the Morales Government in power.
The fact that the President has pro-
claimed this protectorate is really more
important 10 the United States than
his decision to supply Ssnto Domingo
with an American who shall take
possession Of the customs receipts at
the ports now occupied by the United
States.
No matter what may happen, the
United States is committed to a policy
OF using force to any extent that may
be required for the purpose of putting
down revolutions or preventing for
eign interfe .ence with Morales. II
would seem that a very lively sum-
mcr's work has been cut out for the
navy. and. perhaps, for the army as
well. Whatever steps foreign govern
n,ents may lake for the collection Of
claims not included IN the new ar
ranzement. the United States is bound
TO stand between these creditors and
Morales Whatever revolutions may
start. the United States is bound to
nut them down by moral suasion, IL
possible, and by guns if necessary.
Filibustering expeditions and debt
collecting expeditions alike must be
kept from landing on the shores Of
Santo Domingo by the entire feet Of
The United States. This, in short, is
the Interpretation put upon the an
nouncement to-day by friends and foes
alike Of the administration.
The attitude of the United States
Government is shown in the following

against what he calls the deliberate
campaign carried on the past three
years not only by the British press
but also through journals connected
with the British press In America and
in France, to damage Russian credit
by predicting insolvency and revolu-
ton. The letter says:
Millions OF families in Europe have in
vested the savings of a lifetime in Russian

the bonds in a panic 1t is criminal to; at
tempt to ruin such people by misstaternents

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
Derringer That Belonged to the Fa-
nous Illinois Statesman Has
Been Located.

A Derringer pistol, with an unusual
history, has come into the possession
of Col. Walter French, the file clerk
of the house Of representatives. He
found it not long ago in a pawnshop
and promptly observed that the in
scription on the handle Of the weapon,
IS. A. Douglas" was probably the
name of Stephen A. Douglas, long a
prominent democratic figure in con-
gress in the ante-bellum times, says
the Washington Post.
Having purchased the weapon, he
made inquiries from Col. James Madi-
son Cults, of this city a kinsman by
marriage of Mr.. Douglas, who recOg-
nized the Derringer as one of a pair
that Mr.. Douglas owned during the ex-
citing political events preceding Lin
coins inauguration. 1t seems that a
pair of these pistols, such as men were
accustomed to wear in those days,
one in each Of two small top pockets
in the trousers, was presented to Mr..
Douglas by the superint endent of the
Harper's Ferry arsenal. These were
subsequently taken to Louisiana,
where it was discovered that the
springs were fashioned so that the
hammer would not explode the per-
cussion cap. This defect in mechanism
was corrected.
In just what manner the pistol was
secured from the possession of Mr.
Douglas is not known. Col. Cults has
the mate to it, which the great demo.
crat presented to him.
