MEYER MEETS GEAR
Americas New Ambassador to Russia
Presents His Letters.

st. Petersburg, April 13.-Ambassador
Never Yesterday presented his letters
to Emperor Nicholas at Tsarskoe Selo.
In! diplomatic circles the keenest in
terest is manifested at the first inter
view between the emperor and the new
American ambassador, owing to the
widespread belief that President Roose-
welt has already allowed the informa-
tion to be conveyed to both belligerents
that he stands ready, upon their mutual
request, to undertake the promotion OF
peace. It is supposed that Mr.. Meyer
delivered q confidential communication
to his majesty from President Roose-
welt; but so far as is ascertainable the
emperor did not discuss the question Of
peace with the new ambassador.
Ambassador Meyer was first present
ed to the empress mother, to whom in
turn he presented the embassy secreta-
ries. Then, preceded by Count Hen
drikoff, bearing his staff of office, and a
solemn procession of court function
aries, the ambassador passed thru sa-
Ions to the emperor's private apart
ments. Here the imperial bodyguard
In the library the procession halted

ment Of the United States, Ambassador
Meyer advanced alone to meet the en-
peror and empress. Their greetings
and reception we're cordial.
The audience lasted ten or fifteen
minutes. What passed between the en-
peror, and the ambassador naturally is
secret.

"GOT WHAT I'VE DESERVED"
r. M. Henderson Of Beaudette Tells Of
the Killing.

Winnipeg, Man, April 13.-I've got
at last what I've deserved I've been
looking for it for years. -
These were the last words Of Matt
Cannon of Beaudette, who was muir
dered by a mob last Saturday, accord
of Beaudette, who arrived in Winnipeg
yesterday afternoon and gave a new
version Of the affair. He said:
have lived in Beaudette for five years,
and know of incidents leading UP to the
fatal climax. The feeling against Gan
non was occasioned by political cleo
ton. almost Kentucky-like in its tensity.
Matt Cannon and Bert Clark were con-
testants for president Of the town board
(mayOr) in Beaudette, our little hamlet
Of 800 population. The canvassing was
heated and then came the Cay Of cleo
ton. There were two polling booths. At
one booth predominated the Cannon fac
! ton; at the other booth, formerly sa-
loon, the Clark party was in the major
ity. When the ballots were counted 1t
was found that Clark had polled 100 votes
to Gannons paltry eight votes in the
booth of the Clark faction, thus giving
the election to Clark.
Cannon appealed to the powers that be,
maintaining that Clarks election was
void inasmuch rs liquor had been sold
| in Clark's booth on the morning Of the
| election. Thus on a technically, Cannon
| was placed in the first chair Of the town
| board.
| Cannon was unpopular, because the
people asserted that he held office not
by their voice. Then, again, 1t was open

utation rather unsavory for hamlet's
chief magistrate. Other rumors there
were, even more dark.
| He came to Beaudette a year ago and
ran a gambling table. Then he went tc
Spooner and ran a blind pig Later he
secured license for his business.
The citizens Of Beaudette do not sorrow
| over the death Of the chief executive
They wished to get rid Of him, but the!
do deplore the extreme method that was
used.
The blame for the murder has been
placed on some isolated hotheads OF
| the Spooner mob. The mob came fully
prepared to tar and feather Cannon
and to escort him out of town on a rail
No evidence whatever was produced
to show that Gannon's life was en-
