If the writ Is obtained, the four bit: packing concerns will be prohibited from doing business In the state. The attorney general considers the evidence of the St. Joseph butch ers conclusive evidence of the existence of e trust. Jefferson City, Mo. (Special.) There was some interesting testimony ad duced at the beef trust inquiry. Mau rice Prendlvile of St Louis testified that Armour, Morris, Swift and Cud- ahy had a definite agreement as to prices. The packers bought pork on succes sive days, so that there was no compe tition. Five months ago he received rebates trom Nelson Morris. He de clared that prices were fixed a week In advance, at a meeting of cooler managers held on Saturdays. "If a cattleman ships cattle else where, not selling In East St. Louis, a dispatch is sent ahead by the pack ers. Instructing their buyers to offer tmly a set price," he said. Other witnesses told of condemned beef being made Into sausage, of the giving of rebates, and T. Z.

RAILROAD BATTLE ROYAL IS ON. Chicago, 111. (Special.) Proxies for the Chicago & Northwestern annual meeting, to be held here June 5, are at a big premium. A battle royal Is being waged for their possession, the con testing parties being thse now In con trol of the property on the one side and the Moores-Leeda-Gates Interests on the other. Books for the transfer of stock for 'the annual meeting closed last week, so that purchase of stock In the open market cannot be made avail able unless they carry proxies with thorn, and efforts are being made to secure the proxies without reference to purchases. Those now In control of the property have awakened to the fact that a big coup has been planned to be accom plished at the annual meeting, and they are now putting forth their most strenuous efforts to prevent It. When the books closed last week they thought they were safe, but they have since then been convinced by indisput able evidence that they are by no means out of the woods. Large hold ers of shares are being Importuned by both sides to the contest for their prox ies, and valuable considerations are being offered for them, with a large number of stockholders refusing to surrender their rights to either side at this stage of the proceedings. 6RAND JURY ON THE BEEF TRUST.

PEACE SIGNS APPARENT. Cesxinder of til Oruge Frit Stite For ces Says Anlty It Probable. Premier Ropudlatoa Aaaortion that Groat Britain la Weakening on Subjeot of Peace. Lonaon.-Speclal.) The wlf e of Gen eral Lucas Meyer, the commander of the Orange Free State forces, who Is in this country, has received a cable mes sage from her husband saying that peace In South Africa is probable. Further advices received here from South Africa announced that 208 Boers had been captured and that ten bur ghers were killed in the neighborhood of Llndley, Orange River colony. Lord Kitchener in rtportlng the cap ture of Boers near Llndley, said that he British trops forming a continuous line left the Frankfort, Hellbron and Vredefort line at dawn without wheels of any sort and proceeded rapidly south, reaching the Kroonstad and Llndley neighborhood with the result announced. The British casualties were nil. The captured men represent the most Irreconcilable Boers In the Orange Riv er Colony. Lord Salisbury, during his speech at the annual grand habitation of . the Primrose league here, said the govern ment had not receded an iota from its previous peace terms to the Boers. At the same time he said the country must not expect the "ashes of past conflicts" to be extinguished Immedi ately. Great Britain had had a great and serious war; but, admitting that misery and suffering had been caused. It "must be recognized that the power, prestige, Influence and magic effect of our great empire are more potent, more efficient and more admirable than ever bfore. "We have suffered," continued the premier, "but we have greatly won. It was Impossible not to feel that the ef forts of the country have, In some cases, not been worthily recognized." MAKES INDIGNANT DENIAL. The other day Mr. Morley asked If there was a single member of the cab inet of 1899 who, If he could have fore seen the results of the policy on which they were then launching the country, would not have checked the diplomacy leading to such deplorable results. As a member of that cabinet he (Lord Sal isbury) wished to meet this statement with the most indignant denial. The war had been used by some politicians for the squalid purpose of Injuring their opponents. When a neighboring power or tribe Invaded his majesty's dominions and made an attack which was a gross and flngrant outrage, It could only be met by fighting In their own country those who had despised the rights and sovereignty of our sov ereign. The premier repudiated the assertion that Great Britain was weakening on the subject of peace terms. He de clared the country could not afford to submit to the suggestion that affairs should be allowed to slide back into a position where it would be In the power of the enemy when the opportunity suited them to renew the issues for which this country had fought during the last three years. MUST KILL POWER TO RENEW IT. When the conflict was over all possi ble would be done to mould their pres ent opponents so they could take up their position In the empire which had conferred so many blessings on the human race. But It must be thor oughly understood that the whole gov ernment of the country was to be of such character that It would be Impos sible that the struggle could be re newed. It was Important that this should be made clear, for some people thought the empire might become tired. He did not wish to cunvey the idea that there was any feeling of bitterness towards the Boers, for there was noth ing that the government more earnest ly desired than that they should enjoy all the privileges conferred on their brother nations by the colonial system. Touching on the question of Imperial federation, Lord Salisbury warned his hearers of the danger of over-haste and exhorted those who were anxious to secure federation to earnestly consider tbe steps they were going to take and the results expected. "We cannot," he said, ,"safely Inter fere by legislative action with the nat ural development of our relations to our daughter countries. I look with apprehension on any attempt, unless backed up by the strong mass of pub lic opinion, to anticipate events or fore close precious results which, If we are patient and careful, are in store for the empire." The 8-year-old daughter of Mrs. Anna Cedarholm was fatally burned at Deadwood, S. D., while playing with fire. A wealthy contractor, James Munn, was badly burned while trying to save the child. No Oauae for Alarm 8aye Carnegie. London. (Special.)

Washington, D. C (Special.) Secra. tary Boot haa made ttie following re sponse to the house resolution calling for copies of all orders sent to Gen eral Smith and other officers relative to the campaign In Samar: No orders or instructions have been forwarded to the commanding military officer in the Philippine islands relat ing to the conduct of military opera tions in the island of Samar, or relat ing to the campaign of General Jacob H. Smith in said Island, except the "Instructions for the government of armies of the United States in the field," approved and promulgated by command of President Abraham Lin coln in .general. crder .o. 100 of 1863, a copy of which Is annexed hereto, and which have been followed and . con formed to by all orders made in the Philippines in respect to that campaign so far as the same have been received at the war department. It has not been deemed wise or prac ticable to Interfere from Washington with the conduct of military operation on the other side of the world under competent and faithful officers com manding the Division of the Philip pines necessarily understand far bet ter than is possible for the war de partment. Secretary Root submitted to the sen ate an answer to the resolution of May 1 calling for copies of orders issued by General Bell relative to reconcentra tion in Batangas and of the orders Is sued by General Smith to Major Wal ler set up by the latter In his defense before the court-martial. The secretary also was asked to state whether these orders were approved by General Chaffee or by the war depart ment when they were known In th de partment and when countermanded. In reply the secretary submits two orders by General Bell, dated December 8 and 9 last. In the first General Bell refers to the treachery of the natives, to their use of Infernal machines and to the constant violation of all tae rules of civilized warfare. Therefore he de clares he is reluctantly obliged to avail himself of the right of retaliation under the regulations to deal severely with persons who commit the acts de nounced In general order 100. He declares that all of General Smith's written orders relative to Sa mar already have been printed by the senate, and that all are In strict con formity with general order 100. In con clusion the secretary submits dis patches from General Chaffee of late date reporting extensive surrenders of the Insurgents and the reopening of the ports to trade bb proof of the success of the policy embodied in the written order.

Datto from lower Bayan presented himself, saying his people want peace, promising to bring other supplies." NEW TORTURE FOR FILIPINO NATIVES. Washington, D. C (Special.) Orders have been Issued by Secretary Root for the court-martial of Captain 9ames A. Ryan, Fifteenth cavarly, for "Improper conduct in obtaining Information from natives In the Philippines."

Then his body was lifted and his head Jolted against the floor again, whereupon he was stood upon his head In a bucket of water a certain length of time and then examined. Rhode's report also states that Ryan believes the American occupation Is unjust; that two generations of mili tary government won't put the Filipi nos in a condition for civil government, and that drastic measures are abso lutely necessary for self-preservation.
