CAT1LE Receipts ui cuitle were laiad
tins morning, 14 cars being reported In;
but owing to the light run Monday the
total for the two days shows a heavy fall
ing otf as compared with recent weeKs,
although being about 2,000 head larger than
a year ago.
uuyeis all seemed to want handy light
came and anything on that order sold
quite readily at steady prices. In fact,
now and then a salesman could be found
who tnougnt tie secured even strong pilot
tor his more desirable cattle. On the
other hand there were a good many heavy
cattle In the yards, many of them of pretty
good quality, for whlcn the demand was
slow. Packers were neglecting the heavy
cattle and would not try very hard to buy
them until the light .cattle were disposed
of. It will be readily understood from this
that the tendency on heavy cattle was
downward.
Cows and heifers commanded steady
prices and good heifers were a little
stronger again than yesterday. Mixed
yearling hellers and steers sold up to $6.00.
The market on feeders was poorly sup
plied, there being comparatively few of
that kind of cattle on sale, but still the
demand was limited and there were prob
ably as many as were wanted. The prices
showed practically no change as com
pared with yesterday.

HOtiS Coiidllions ruling the hog trade
were more Insistently bearish today than
in some time past. Keceipia were reasun
auiy large, suv ices rrom the east were
lower and reports of provision stocks Just
Issued Indicate a very heavy Increase for
the month of March. A dull speculative
demand also had more or less influence
upon the trade and demand was very slack
11 0111 inn opening.
In point of prices, the market for hulk
was almost a dime lower. Long strings
showed declines of 6glw, but anything at
all weighty, even In the butcher ch.mi.
usually had to move at the larger reduc
tion. Some business In baron weights
was transacted early at figures no worse
limn nt. ..el lower.
Movement was slow turooKhout the ses
sion and packers purchased the big end of
leoelpta. Orders from hlpTS called for
less than 10 per cent of total supply and
discriminated sharply In favor of light
animals. Clearance was not made unul
aftei 11 o'clock.
tiutcher weight hogs moved at 36.1MiM
and lard offerings weie especially draggy
at the lowest figures reported. bacon
grades sold up as high as to. 45, which was
sjso yesterday's high price.

RAILWAY ISSUES MOVE UPWARD

NEW YORK. April 4. Price movements
were narrow on the stock market today ex
cept in the case of a few Issues which ap
parently were especially selected for ma
nipulation to lend some appearance of ani
mation to the market.
Almost the only consistent movement of
the dsy was the advance of railroad stocks
which would be affected most directly, by
the conclusion of a reciprocity agreement
with Canada. The Hill stocks were espe
cially strong. Canadian Pacific gained 4
points more advancing to a new high
record.
The outlook for general Industrial condi
tions was left unchanged by the day's de
velopments. Complete figures of March
bank clearings over the country revealed
a decrease of 10.5 per cent from last year,
due not only to slowness of trade, but to
the small demand In New York for finan
cial operations and speculative purposes.
National Biscuit was active and advanced
6 points to another high record. Associated
Oil dropped 4 points on authoritative denial
of the report that it was to be purchased
from the Southern Pacific by Important
Interests. The general list hardened some
what In the final dealings and closed with .
a preponderance of small gains.

Phillip Hanim Ends Ills Life Follow
ing; Application of His Wife for
Divorce.
SHERIDAN, Wyo., April 4. (Special Tel
egram.) Phillip Hamm, a prominent
rancher and one of the pioneers of Sheri
dan county, committed suicide yesterday
on his ranch, two and one-half miles south
of this city, by swallowing strychnine.
His body was discovered lying on a lounge
in the house by two of the ranch nan 1s
when they returned from j work In the
evening. He had apparently been dead
for several hours. At the Inquest, held
at Sheridan this morning, a coroner's Jury
confirmed the suicide theory. Worry over
domestic troubles is supposed to have been
the cause. He and his wife separated
several days ago, the latter applying for
a divorce. Notice of the suit was served
upon him last week.

ALASKAN LOCATORS WIN POINT
Court Ltarei Government Little
Ground to Secure Conviction.
PROSECUTION PROBABLY TO END
Jadse Halaes New Point nnd Betas
to Grant Motion to Arqnlt De
fendants of Fraudulent
Locations.
SEATTLE, Wssh., April 4-The gov
ernment lost Its first battle today in the
effort to punish the alleged fraudulent lo
cators of Alaska coal lands. Judge Cor
nelius II. Hanford, In the United States
district court, although he overruled the
motion to Instruct the Jury to acquit
Charles F. Muntlay, E. E. Slegley and
Archie Shlels, sustained all the vital
points contended for by the defendants.
The ground on which the court refused
t) grant the motion to acquit was not
raised by counsel for either side In the
suit, but by the Judge himself, lt leaves
the government so little room to stand on
that It is said to be practically assured
that the prosecution will be dropped.
The lands In question are the English,
or Sir Edward Stracey group. They are
said to be richer even than the Cunning
ham claims. Estimates of their value
range from $100,000,000 to a much larger
sum.
The defendants, together with Algernon
Stracey. a brither of Sir Edward Stracey,
were Indicted at Tacoma last fall, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment. Stracey remained In Vancouver,
B. C, and avoided arrest.
The court's decision today sustained all
the contentions of the defendants, but
raised a new one In the following words:
"A foreign corporation cannot lawfully
acquire or hold a coal claim in Alaska
either in ts corporate name or In the
name of any agent or trustee. There
fore, for the reason that the Indictment
charges a conspiracy to acquire coal
claims or proprietary rights to coal claims
In Alaska for a foreign corporation, It
must be sustained as a valid indictment
and the objection to the Introduction of
evidence must be overruled."

United States and.
England to Arbitrate
New Zealand Clairij
Heirs of Captain Webster Want Com
pensation for Claims Asserted
Deeded by Maori Chiefs.
VANCOUVER. April 4,-Oreat Britain
snd the United States have agreed to
arbitrate the Webster claim. Involving
ownership of millions of acres of land In
New Zealand. This was announced today
I tUUHJ
eral ofl'
Wart'J
ed heir
by Dr. J. G. Flndlay, attorney gener
New Zealand, who, with Sir Joseph
premier of the commonwealth, reached
today from the Antipodes, en route to Ion- '
don. The personnel of the board baa not
yet been settled.
The claimants are descendants of Csp
tain 1. Webster, a New Bedford (Mass )
whaler who operated In the south seas In
the early '30s, making his headquarters In
New Zealand at a period before Great
Britain established a government In the
islands.
The claim has been pending before the
American State department for yearj. The
claimants demand compensation for lands
which, It Is maintained, were given Cap
tain Webster by various Maori chiefs.
These lands, after the cartaln's death, be
came vested In the crown and were subse
quently occupied by settlers. They com
prise some of the most fertile areas tflr
New Zealand.
Webster, dying in the United States, left
a will bequeathing his New Zealand rights
to his heirs, whose claim has been pressed
by the United States for many years.
The claim will be opposed on the ground
that Great Britain, by Its early navigators,
had proclaimed sovereignty over New Zea
land long before a colonial government
was set up there, and that In any event any
Agreement between Captain Webster, an
American citizen, and Maori chiefs is not
binding on the British government.
