firmed with tho exception of five, tho
most important of which was that of
Judgo James Wickcrsham to succeed
himsolf ns Judgo of the District court
of Alaska. Several unimportant treat
ies wore ratified, but beyond theso mat

WAITS FOR TITLE.
As Soon as Secured Qoqernment Wll
Begin Celllo Canal.
Washington, March 24. It devel
oped today, upon Inquiry nt the War
department, that tho government is not
llkolj to begin construction of Tho
Dallefl-Celllo canal, because the stato of
Oregon has not yet conveyed to tho
Federal government nbsolutotltlo to tho
right of way for this waterway.
Tho original act of congress authoriz
ing tho canal stipulated that no work
should bo done until the stato had pre
sented right of way to tho government
free of cost. When this condition was
imposed by congress, steps wero taken
by tho stato looking to tho purchoso or
condemnation of tho necessary lands
and army engineers nro advised that
most, if not all, of the land necessary
has been purchased or condemned. In
fact, last 8cptcmtcr Mjor Langfltt
transmitted to tho chief of engineers
abstracts of title to this land. These
abstracts wero examined by tho attor
ney general and approved ns being sulll
ciently binding. The papers were then
returned to Major Langlltt with tho
understanding tliut tho stato would
mnko payments for tho various parcels
of land Included In the right of wny.
Since that tlnie nothing lina been heard
from Major I-nnglltt or from tho state,
and, so far ns the Wnr department Is
aware, this right of wny has not been
purchased.
Until tho title Is turned over to tho
government, not 0110 cent of the $300,
000 appropriated Inst session can bo ex
pended. Notwithstanding this situa
tion, Major Ijingfltt will proceed with
tho prupnrnion of tho project for tho
expenditure of this money nnd work
will begin in accordance with this plan
Just ns soon iih title to the right of wny
rests in tho government.
BACK TO BAIKAL.
Russians May Continue Their Retreat
When Harbin is Reached.
8t. Petersburg, March IM. Tho pos
sibility that, If tlio Russian army
should be unahlu to hold tho lower line
of tho Sttugarl river nnd ChunehinlHii,
it may be compelled to retreat not only
to Harbin, but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese Northern Manchuria and the
Russinn maritime Amur provinces ns
well, Is tho latest startling news from
the front.
The strategic weakness of General
Linievitch's position an ho fiilln back
northward is made clear by theGuiishu
dispatches to the Associated Press, lit
which it is pointed out that, unless
Ohiinchialsti nnd the Kungari lines, a
scant 100 miles below llnrbln, can be
held, it will be dilllcitlt to maintain a
ponitiou farther back before Jlnrhiii,
where, with the front of the army par
alleling the railroad, tho practicability
of n turning movement to completely
sever communications and isolate the
army ft 000 miles from home Is too ser
ious for Russian consideration. In view
of tills pomdhlllly the dispatch alluded
to suggests the advisability of immedi
ately providing Vladivostok with wnr
munitions and supplies for u two years'
siege.
WILL ADOPT LESSONS TAUGHT.
President nnd General Officers Will
Appl Them In Army.
Washington, March 24. Results of
the observation of American army ol li
ce rs during the Rtisso-Jupanefo war
formed the subject of a conference today
between tho president and Assistant
Secretary of Wnr Oliver, General C'ro
zler, chief of 'the bureau of ordinance
and several olllcers of tho general staff.
The importance of individual initiative
in the soldier mid of higher physical
training than heretofore has character
ized tho private in tlio ranks has been
made evident. Tlio conference today
was preliminary to the adoption of such
means as will iuc renne the training and
add to the luitlativeof the enlisted men
Join the army. The methods will bo
taught them which nro lxrn of exper
ience and observation. It Ih expected
that thcHu methods not only will in
crease the ellieieney of tlio private sol
dier, but aUo will enabl)) him the bet
ter to protect himself ami perhaos his
comraderi in time of emergency, Tint
new methods will lie promulgated in
general orders to the nriuy.
Must Make Price Uniform.
Ijtauiuga Mich,, March 21. In tho
house today a bill uns introduced pro
hibiting differences In the price of oil
other than Uioho directly traceable to
frieght charges. The bill is aimed to
prevent dhciimiuation between locali
ties. It has been nlleged that ono
county in Mlehlagn recently had to sub
mit to an arbitrary incrcafoiu the price
of oil coincident with the winning of 11
lawsuit against the. Standard Oil com
pany by residents of that county.

GETS AT THE FACTS
Grand Jury Learn of Methods of
Beef Trust.
VIOLATIONS OF LAW ARE SOUGHT
Price Are Kept Uniform Big Profits
for Packers, Small Ones for
Retail Merchants.
Chlcngo, March 25. Tho Federal
grand Jury which is investigating tho
business methods of tho packers ac
quired a lot of information today from
two of tho four witnesses examined
during tho oay. Thomas O. Ruddy,
of Ruddy llros., an independent pack
ing firm of Kansas City, nnd Michael
R. Murphy, general manager for tho
Cudnhy Packing company in South
Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City,
contributed tho hulk of tho Informa
tion, Mr. Ruddy occupying tho chair
all afternoon.
Roth of tho witnesses, after leaving
tho grand Jury room, expressed tho be
lief that tho grand Jury was pursuing a
settled policy in asking questions which
boro directly on tho, charges of viola
tion of tho Interstate commerce law and
tho Sherman anti-trust law. They
did not construe tho questions askod
of tho.it to bo framed for tho purposo
of gathering general information con
cerning tho packing industry.
Testimony showing tho prollts of re
tail meat dealers and prices of unfailing
uniformity for meats at tho "hlg live"
packers' branch houses was given. In
a detailed statement tho cost and sale
prices of beef handled by retailors in
Kansas City war explained by Robert
Hall, it dealer from that city, nnd tho
high prices blamed on the packers.
Tlio gist of the evidence was that tho
charge mado by packers that retailors
were making 100 per cent profit on beef
Is incorrect, nnd, whilo on somo cuts
tho profit Is almost that amount, it is
equalized by the fact that nn equal por
ccntngu Is sold at it loss or at least no
profit.
Mr.' Hall's testimony also showed
that the packer who pays $4.76 per 100
pounds for beef on the hoof sells It at
$8 per 100 pounds tq the, re
tailer, who nvemues 11 trlflo less than
$10.43 In gross receipts for tho same
meat.
There were 30 witnesses In tho Jury
room unnex nt the opening of the ses
sion. Extra precautious were taken to
pteveut witnesses from coming In con
tact with outsiders. The d6ors wero
lot ked and Deputy .Marshal Middleton
sat inside, while Captain Porter stood
outside tho door.
