PAPERS; I THE Vjli C2TY OF ST.PAUL.I VOL. NO. 102. Dip pi fiiif pm BRITISH GOVKRXMEXT WOX'T I SE AXY MORE FOR TOMMY UATIOXS MEAT MUST BE WHICH MEANS CATTLE AND PACIv- IXG HOUSE PRODUCTS FROM AUSTRALIA SEQUEL TO THE 30ER SUIT Proceedings to Stop Shinment of Mules From New Orleans May Have Something to Do With It. WASHINGTON, April department of agriculture a dispatch from a company of Chicago announcing that they have just been advised that the English government has excluded all beef except home-bred from the British army contracts.

This, it is stated, is to be effective June 1 next. The. Chicago concern has asked the agricultural department for any assistance it can render. It has pointed out that the action of the British government is a severe blow to American beef and cattle exporters and producers and means not alone the loss in government trade, but it is feared it will serve very materially toward inciting a prejudice on the part of the people of Great Britain against the beef and cattle of this country. No official information of the report Df this contemplated has been received here, according to statements of officials this afternoon.

Steps have been taken, however, looking to acquiringwhatever information it Is possible to get. To demonstrate the importance of the move now said to be contemplated, It may be stated that our exports of live animals amount to $40,000,000, while the total of animal products exported from the United States to Great Britain, is stated to be in round numbers It is pointed out here that this proposed embargo may really be a sequel, in greater or less degree, to the proceedings instituted at New Orleans against shipments of mules and horses from that port for use In the South African campaign. While this is, of course, merely conjectural, it Is very Strongly hinted that the New Orleans incident probably it the direct inspiration for the step. It is pointed out that if the English really decide to take the action reported in the advices just received, the British might turn to Australia for their meats. It is claimed, however, that meats cannot be gotten there in as good quality nor as cheap as in the United States.

CABLE TO SWIFT. CHICAGO, April Co. was tfte packing firm referred to as having wired the agricultural department regarding probable action of the English government excluding all but home-bred beef from army contracts. Mr. A.

H. Veeder, general counsel for Swift Paid their London representative had cabled to the above effect and they had immediately advised the department at Washington. They had also cabled London for further information. Mr. Veeder was inclined to doubt that action had been taken by the British government.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE FRENCH OFFICERS AT MOUNT VERNON NATION'S GUESTS PAY TRIBUTE! OF RESPECT AT TOMB OF AVASIIIXGTOX. WASHINGTON April was a touching scene at Mount Vernon today, when M. Cambon, the French ambassador, accompanied by the officers -and cadets of the French training ship Duguay Trouin, and other distinguished guests placed a wreath of flowers on the tomb of Washington. The occasion was commented in as being particularly indicative of the continued fraternal feeling existing between the two great republics of Europe and America.

After the brief ceremony at the tomb, the guests spent some time in looking at the objects of interest in the mansion which Washington occupied while a resident ol Mount Vernon, and in straying aroun'l the grounds sui rounding it. In the mansion particular attention was paid to the room in which Washington died, and that in khicb the Marquis de Lafayette slept while at Mount Vernon. Several group pictures were taken, one of them while the party surrounded the tomb, and others, in different parts of. the grounds. The party, which comprisalnut seventy persons in all and included a number of ladies, went down the river on the president's yacht, Sylph, returning to the city at 6 o'clock.

was served on the home-ward trip. At: the navy yard, from which place the party embarked, they were received by the commandant, Admiral Silas W. Terry, and the officers on duty there, and conducted aboard the vessel, the same courtesy being shown them on return. Later the officials and carets of the Duguay Trouin returned to Baltimore, where their ship awaits 'them. CINCINNATI LAWYER ATTACKS A CHARGES PFE.JiniCE OR WORSE IX APPOINTING IMTED SAJLT COMPAJfY RWEIVEU.

CLEVELAND. 0., April fight between the National Salt company and the stockholders of the United Salt com-! pany was resumed in Judge Stone's today when the motion of the United Salt company to have ex-Judge Lamson, the receiver, removed, was placed on hearing. Judge Lamson was appointed receiver upon application of J. M. Henderson, one one of the stockholders.

Attorney S. H. Holding, representing the United Salt company, argued in behalf of the removal of the receiver, claiming that the appointment was irregular, being made at Judge Stone's residence in the evening; that the other side was not given an opportunity to be heard, and that Judge Lamson was not a proper person for a receiver because he had been the attorney for the United Salt company in another case. "For the honor of the benceh in this county," shouted Holding, "undo your work, and do not let it be said that in the privacy of your own home, under i the seductive influence of Henderson, you appointed your social comrad and former associate on the bench to the receivership of the United Salt company; tho receivership was obtained by deceit." Judge Stone made no comment on Holding's remarks. Attorney Green asked the Omaha Packing company, Anglo-American" Packing company, and Continental Packing: company be ma.le defendants to the suit, claiming that the United States company owed them for breach of contract to furnish salt.

Judge Stone refused the request. GARNET RIPLEY TRIAL ADDITIONAL. EVIDENCE ADDUCED SHOWING AXTI-GOEBEL, CONSPIRACY. FRANKFORT, April testimony in the case of Garnet Ripley brought out nothing sensational today that had not been already anticipated. Judge Yost testified corroborating the evidence given by former Gov.

Bradley yesterday. It is said that at the close of the evidence for the prosecution the defendant will go on the stand himself and still further corroborate Bradley and Yost and make other equally sensational statements. W. H. Culton and Banker John A.

Black, of Barbourville, were among the witnesses this afternoon, and gave over again the testimony they had given on former trials. RUSSIAN SUGAR BOUNTY Ql ESTIOX WILL, BE DECIDED IX Sn'KEMB COURT. NEW YORK, April test case involving the imposition of a counterveiling duty on Russian sugar came up before the board of classification or the United States general appiaisers, while William J. Gibson represented the government. No oral testimony was offered, but the case was submitted to the board after argument upon facts as stated in the consular reports and other oitleial documents.

Mr. Bigelow argued at some length that there was no boumty paid by the Russian government. Mr. Gibson argued on behalf of the government and said that Russia pays a greater bounty than any other country in Europe, and cited statistics in support or his position. He said that the production of sugar in Russia was absolutely regulated by the government and was completely under government control.

It was decided to leave to the board the decision In the question as to which case would be more properly the case. The hearing developed no new facts in the controversy. Judge Scmerville intimated that the case would naturally be taken to the federal couits and will probably not be decided until it reaches the United States supreme court. HAVANA CONVENTION. HEATED DIVSCT.SSIOX HELD ON THfi PLATT AMENDMENT.

HAVANA, April the secret session of the constitutional convention today several delegates offered motions that the convention should express its disnpproval of the principles embodied in the Platt amendment, especially clauses 111, VI and VII. Senor Giberga moved that the subject be indefinitely postponed, but this proposal was supported by only six delegates. The effort of the radical element is to put the convention on record against the amendment before voting to send a commission to Washington. It was evident the Radicals had a majority today. The matter will be further discussed.

Two Men Fatally Stabbed. OTTUMWA, 10.. April Crips, proprietor of a livery stable, and Be-t Houston, a cab driver, were probably fatally stabbed tonight by gamblers who were celebrating heavy winnings. Six gamblers were arrested. The assault was unprovoked.

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, PAGES. PRAISE FOR M. LOUBET FRENCH PRESS ENTHUSIASTICALLY COMMENDS THE PRESIDENT'S DIPLOMACY HAS SECURED A KEW ALLY ITALY IS SOW POISTED Oil AS THE BOSOM FRIEND OF FRANCE WERE MEDALS FOE EVERY ONE Dnke of Genoa, and tlie French President Dispensed Ostlers and Decorations With Lavish Hand. Paris, April the conclusion of the festivities at Toulon tonight President Loubet will proceed to his home at Montelimar, in the department of the Drome, to visit his aged mother and take a few repose after the fatigiies of the many functions of tne week, which have kept him occupied from early morning until late at night. The satisfactory manner in which the whole affair has been carried out has been a personal s.uccsppg for M.

Loubet. Nothing but praise ia from his opponents at t'ne able manner vi which he has played his part. The account's, agree that not a false has disturbed harmony and the tact displayed on all siues from Presiu nt Loubet, the Duke Genoa and Admiral Bierileff, to tne minor participants in the affair, was a noteworthy success. As to the possibilities of the Franco-Italian demonstrations, the Temps tonight, now that the. apecehmaking is over, puts the situation in a clear light with the following remarks: FRANCO-ITALIAN ENTENTE.

The words pronounced by M. Loubet and the Duke of Genoa, and especially the telegrams exchanged between M. Loubet and the king of Italy stamp the proceedings at Toulon their true diplomatic significance. France and Italy yesterday gave one another officially the title of "friends, which accords so well with the fraternity of their genius and blood. This is an event which mast not be distorted nor wrongly interpreted.

But there is little risk of "exaggerating its importance, which taking everything into consideration is considerable. Both Italy and France have greatly changed since the time of Bismarck and Crispi. We cannot yet say what fruits yesterday will bring forth, but we augur much therefrom." The Journal dcs Debats says the event at Toulon will leave a nappy souvenir in the history of France and Italy and their rapprochement will henceforth rank as an established, avowed and proclaimed fact. M. Hanotaux, the former minister of foreign affairs, in an interview, is quoted as expressing the opinion that the Toulon demonstrations were a valuable indication of the pacific sentiments animating the powers.

The visit of t'ne Italian squadron marks the end of a painful period of tension in the relations Prance and Italy and points to an evolu tion in the sentiments of the Italian government towards France. At the luncheon on board the Lepanto, the Italian flagship, today, the brilliant function was held on the gun deck, which was transformed into a Banqueting hall. Footmen belonging: to the household o-C I the Duke of Genoa in scarlet livery served the table, which wis beautifully adorned with gold plate and porcelain centerpieces filled with flowers. The golden service was used for M. Loubet and the Duke of Genoa.

A silver service was used for tne attending ministers, while an Anglo-Saxon porcelain service was used for the other guests. DECOPwATIONS IN PLENTY. In behalf of the King of Italy, the Duke of Genoa today distributed a number of decorations to the French ministers and. military, naval and civil officials. President Loubet spent the early part of the day in making a tour of the hospitals, and' afterwards received at the town hall delegations, from tne Toulon societies.

He also distributed medals to workmen who Had been thirty years in the same employ. At noon President Loubet boarded the Lepanto, the Italian flagship, and lunched with the Duke of Genoa, latter in toasting the chief executive of Franco said: "Permit me, Mr. to express to you my acknowledgment of the very corciial and sympathetic welcome aoeordod by France to myself and to tne under my command. I retain an unalterably happy recollection of the magnificent reception. 1 drinK to France and to her armies on land and sea.

and 1 also desire to express my high regard for yourself personally." Before he resumed his seat the duke touched glasses with President Loubet and the two warmly clasped hands. President Loutoet replied: "Monseigneur, I am profoundly moved by the friendship you have just expressed for the French republic and its president and by the sympathy which you show for its army and navy. It is unnecessary to repeat to you what are the feelings of the French nation toward Italy. You already know them and I have described them to you. But I wish once more to assure" you that we are profoundly touched by the evidence of friendship which his majesty, the king of Italy, has given to France sending your grand squadron here.

I to the health of King Victor Emmanuel, to the royal family, to their prosperity and to the Italian fleet. I drink also to your personal health, monseia-neur. Just now, I noticed in your cabin the pictures of those dear to you. Permit me to associate them with yourself in tho wishes I am now expressing, and to drink to the health of your entire family." i KITCHENER SAYS NOTHING NO CONFIRMATION OF REPORTED NEGOTIATIONS WITH BOTHA. LONDON, April further news has been received regarding the reported assumption of peace negotiations in South Africa, but the fact that the censor allowed the report to pass and the fact that the government has not issued a dei ninl.

would indicate that negotiations of some sort are in progress. The casualty list Issued yesterday re- I vealed the fact that Lord Methuen was discharged from the hospital last week, I this being the first negotiation that he i had been ill. There is no news from South Africa beyond the fact that the British have evacuated Hoopstad, which the Daily News- observes, "seems to show that Lord Kitchener's force Is none too strong." It is announced from Brussels that the Dutch Transvaal committee has handea to Mr. Kruger a check for 1,000,000 florins, collected in Holland fcr the assistance of the Boers. It appears that Mr.

Kruger's entourage I assert that route from Leydsdoran to Zoutspansberg Is heavily fortified and 1 able to resist the British a long time. VICE AND CORRUPTION IN GREATER NEW YORK REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN SHOWS IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. NEW YORK, April committee of fifteen organized some months ago to Investigate vice as it exists In this city, made its preliminary report to the public today. This report will be followed by others from time to time as the committee deems necessary." The report says that the committees Investigation disclosed the fact that gambling and pool rooms were being operated openly in violation of the law, that the gambling spirit had been developed to such an extent as. to become a distinct menace to the community and that these resorts were undoubtedly protected in their operations by officers whose duty it was to close them.

Raids were made by the committee and its agents and the results obtained show that a committee of citizens can force the police to close such resorts, thus proving that vice is protected and also that the raids have resulted in making the gambling business unprofitable. The committee says the actual condition of the tenement problem is alarming in respect to secret evil and that of 125 tenement houses that were examined by its agents and in which disorderly women were living, there' were found in each house an average of twenty-four children under the age of 18 years and the committee is evidence which will be utilized to eliminate this evil. It is also investigating the organized traffic in girls by the socalled cadet system. MISS HICIIBOHN TO WED. Admiral's Daughter Will Defy the Wishes of Her Parents.

MONUMENT DAMAGED. Ornnmenis Taken From Statue of ThomaM HenilricUM. INDIANAPOLIS, April damage was done to the Thomas A. Hendricks monument in the state house grounds during ihc night presumably by metal thieves. One of the large granite ornaments, weighing about 100 pounds and surmounted by a heavy piece o-f bronze was broken from its base and thrown to the ground; a bronze shieldcross with a piece of bronze representing a laurel leaf was forced from its place high up on the monument and carried away and the scales which the figure of justice held in her hand were stolen.

FALSE IJIJMORa coMe LONDON, April dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated April 11, says that the stories of plots against the life of the czar which found their way into the American press through English, German, Austrian and French channels were common talk on the streets of St. Petersburg months before thoy were published, but their inherent Improbability and falsity as to details caused them to be generally disbelieved. Reports to the effect that the czar was living ben nd steel walls, and continually running from one desk to another in his study, for fear of bombs, aroused nothing but ridicule. Alarm has beeu felt in all circles for the life czar, as the avowed anarchists and revolutionists have bten displaying unusual activity since the beginning of the student It would not be going- too far to say that the students' central committee or some mem- 111 101 WHAT MINISTER LOOMIS HAS TO SAY OF THE BOSS OF VENEZUELA IS A DICTATOR AND A' THIEF SAVES A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ON A SALARY OF TWELVE TIIOUSAAD DOESN'T TO RETUHN Savm There Is Sniiull Chance of International Trouble Xovv Ueyoad What Cian Be Adjusted Diplomatically.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, April 11. United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion arrived here from La Guayra, Venezuela, having on board Francis B. Loomis, the minister to Venezuela. He was non-committal as to the exact situation, saying that he was not recalled but wag simply on leave of absence. Mr.

Loomis sailed for the United States this afternoon by the Red 'D" Line steamer Caracas. He emphatically de clined to disclose the nature of his report to Presidf-nt McKinley, but judging from casual remarks which he let fall he is evidently quite antagonistic to President Castro. He said that the latter's salary was a year, but that he had laid up $2,000,000 in the last two years. "President Castro told the Venezuelans," said Mr. Loomis, -'that the Americana were about to seize claims in the Orinoco district on land previously cede.i to Americans.

CASTRO A SCHEMER. "It was evidently his intention to embarrass the United States government and force it to make armed demonstrations such as would lead it into troubla with foreign nations, such as interfering with German and Great Britain commercial interests on the "coast. The Venezuelan constitutional convention elected Castro provisional president until autumn when there will be an election for an eight-year term. Gen. Andrade will not be president, but Cilends are working and a revolution is possible in the course of a year.

He is now at Curacao awaiting developments. "The situation, so far as the Unittd States government is concerned, has passed the acute point. Such difficulties as exist can be settled diplomatically. "I scarcely expect to return to Caracas I have already served four years and am quite satisfied to bring the experience to a close." BRITONS WANT REDRESS. Venezuelan Jmlgres Accused of Extortion nnd Corruption Generally.

LONDON, April a general meeting of the North Coolgardie company, limited, held today. Chairman Sydney Chambers announced that the directors had just made further representation to the foreign office claiming damages for tho illegal action of the Venezuelan judges respecting the company's properties in 'that country. Through the British minister at Caracas, the foreign office had already rescued the mines and machinery of the North Coolgr.rdie company from an, embargo made possible by the Venezuelan court's denial of justice through trumped up charges. The company now wants reimbursements for expenses forced upon it, and anticipated that the government would present the claim in a manner to secure satisfaction. MURDER OF HER HUSBAND MRS.

'MARGARET HOiSSACK COXVICTED AT IXDIAX'OJLA, 10. DES MOINES. 10., April Margaret Hossack of Indlanola, wife of a wealthy farmer, was found guilty of the. murder of her husband on the night of Dec. 1, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary.

The trial lasted two weeks. It excited much interest, as the evidence was entirely circumstantial. On the night of Dec. 1 John Hossack and his wife retired for the night. About 10:30 o'clock Mrs.

Hossack declares she was awakened by a flash of light. On getting out of bed she foun.l that her husband had been hit on the head with an axe. Two wounds made, one by the sharp edge and the other with the blunt end of the axe, which was found hidden under the granary. Death ensued in an hour. The state presented evidence that for thirty years the couple had quarreled and that previous to the murder they had a dispute over one of the children, of whom nine are living.

It was also maintained by the prosecution that Mrs. Hossack had as an object the securing of the estate of her husband. HOWL FOR MORE WAR. CTJXARD I.IKE SHAREKOLDE-B SAYS THERE'S MOXEV IX IT. LONDON, April annual meeting of the shareholders of the Cunard Line Steamship company today was marked by an unusual Incident.

A shareholder demanded that a committee of independent shareholders be appointed to inquire into the policy and position of the company, declaring that the profits were made solely from transport work and that another war and more butchering will be required to assure future dividends. The motion was not adopted, but the report recommending a 5 per cent dividend and a 3 per cent bonus was adopted. bers thereof, are probably by their relations with the revolutionary organizations, but it is not generally believed that the mass of students is infected with the revolutionary principles. The students do not appear to have regarded the czar as responsible for their grievances," continues the dispatch. He recently received a delegation of them at Tsarkoe-Saloe, where he.

now resides. Many of them frankly confess that they never heard an unkind word spokm of him and this cannot be attributed to fear, for the students are accustomed to to talk freely among themselves. ThU3 the idea that the students, as a body, are plotting against his life fails to the ground. Emtytror Nicholas certain does not seem to entertain this fear, for he comes to the city frequently to transact state affairs or to attend public concerts- PRICE TWO BULLETIN OF IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY Weather Forecast for St. Tamil Rain; Easterly Winds.
