CATTLE QUARANTINE RAISED.
In Counties of Hughes, suIIy and
Potter,

The stock owners of Hughes, Sully
and Potter counties have secured an
other advantage over the counties far
Their east by their compliance with the
dipping order of the state board. DR..
Ramsey, of the bureau of animal in
dustry, at Fargo, has issued an order
raising the quarantine on the three
counties for the reason that reports
show all cattle dipped in the three
counties. The quarantine yet holds on
al lother counties in the infected dis
tricts on account of their refusal to
accept the order of the state board.
The order only applies to cattle in the
counties at the time of the issuance of
the order, and if it is learned that cat
tie from other counties are being
driven into either of these three for
the purpose of shipment the quaran-
tine will again be placed upon them.

ferring to the matter reads as follows:
Every person who shall give, barter,
sell, or in any manner dispose of any
intoxicating liquor to any Indian shall
be guilty of misdemeanor."
Attorney James maintains that not
withstanding the decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court this section
Of the state penal code is in full force
and effect, for the federal supreme
court expressly mentioned that Indians
who had taken their allotments of land
We're subject to the police power Of the
state in which they resided.
Since the decision of the United
States supreme court the authorities
of Charles Mix and other counties in
South Dakota which have large Indian
populations have been greatly annoyed
by the disturbances caused by drunken
Indians. Crimes committed by the In.
dams in Charles Mix and other coun.
ties have largely resulted from the use
by the Indians of intoxicating liquor.
Now that it has been discovered
that the state and county authorities
have ample power to regulate the mat.
ter, 1t is likely the future sales of
liquor to Indians will be reduced to
the minimum, and that peace will once
more come tc the frontier counties o1
the state.

will afford him an opportunity to consider
the situation at an opportune moment, as
1t Is the expectation that the crisis will
be prolonged beyond tomorrow, while the
plenipotentiaries communicate with their
respective governments regarding their in

BEFORE his departure Baron Kaneko de-
cnned to discuss his conference with the
President. He said he did not deny that he
was representative of the Japanese gov
ernment, but wished 1t understood that he
was not the financial representative.
The report said he, laughingly, that
am a financial expert, and that l represent
Japan in a financial way is costing me lots
of money every day. Wherever I go in a
New York hotel or cafe my expenses are
something astonishing. I wish you would
say that l am not a f1nancier, and not in
any sense financial expert"
Baron Kaneko said he had no information
as to the attitude of the Russian ENJOYS or
tie ftuSSidH government toward the prOpO-
sition made by President Roosevelt to
Baron Rosen He intmated that the Jap
anese mission regard the matter favorably,
but could not say SO definitely.

nitely from their governments by that
timer
Yes. I assume so,' the baron replied
Baron Kaneko was asked If a proposition
had been made to submit any point Of diff
ference that had arisen between the envoys
to The Hague tribunal.
"Oh, 1 know nothing-nothing at all about
that What read in the newspapers is all
I know. The American newspapers have
the ability to get at ones inner mind. They
say arbitration is suggested. That may be
true; know nothing about it."
Baron Kaneko said he could not say
whether he would see the President again
soon not. He intimated that he came
today on his own initiative and not by in
vitation Of the President.
President Roosevelt declines to discuss the
peace negotiations In any way and author
iZed the statement that nothing would be
