Cabinet Council Delays Presentation. of the Budget Pending Result of IClerlcsdorp Negotiations. LONDON. April 13. "Peace Is within measureable distance." That probably sums up the present crop of rumors, con jectures and deductions which has Great Britain by the ears. "Is It peace?" meets the eye in glaring posters of newspapers, and the question is re-echoed throughout the United Kingdom. As pointed out In these dispatches yesterday, and confirmed at midnight by Mr. Balfour, the gov ernment leader in the House of Com mons, the reports of the definite end of a conflict of such length. Involving so many lasting and Intricate issues being reached practically without any time be ing devoted to negotiations, are palpably premature. It is announced that the Min isters at today's meeting, which lasted an hour, discussed a communication from Lord Kitchener. This is quite within rea son and the government circles expect several similar messages from Lord Kitchener before anything definite can be announced. While Lord Kitchener's message may have been of vital Im portance, the Associated Press has good reasons to believe that the sudden sum mons of the Cabinet Ministers was due to a desire to decide whether or not the presentation of the budget could be postponed until the Klerksdorp negotia tions are settled one way or the other. "Whatever the proposals of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, may be, they are bound to be greeted by storms of criticism from various quarters. Peace will not modify the crying need of additional revenue, but It would take off the sting from the additional taxation which is bound to raise a protest from every class of in dustry affected. In the national jubila tion over the end of the war these in dustrial protests will be lost to sight. It will be no surprise if it is announced Monday that the budget presentation once more has been postponed and if this does not take place. Parliamentary circles will regard it as one of the best omens that the government practically Is assured of a successful termination of the Klerks dorp conference. The Cabinet Council today, while It probably did not fulfill the sensationally attributed function of deciding between peace or war, undoubtedly reviewed the entire situation, both as regards finance and the- situation In South Africa. How complicated and impossible of off-hand solution is the latter question can be Judged by an apparently authentic state ment published In the Edinburgh News this afternoon. The News, whoso editor is In Jally touch with Mr. Kruger, says on the highest authority that the Boers are prepared to accept the following con ditions: They will not make absolute Indepen dence a cardinal feature If they can come to a satisfactory agreement as to future internal government. The banishment 'and confiscation of property proclamation must be canceled and confiscated property must be restored J to its owners with remuneration for pri vate stock and property destroyed or taken by the British. Full recognition of state debts contract ed before and after hostilities and up to the date of the annexation proclamation published by Lord Roberts. The language question is to be mutually agreed upon. Amnesty for Cape rebels. The release of all political prisoners'. A date to be fixed when all prisoners of war will be returned to South Africa. The offices of one or two friendly powers to be accepted to superintend the carry ing out of the terms of peace. Of these the cardinal point and the hardest for Great Britain to concede Is the granting of amnesty to the Cape reb els, not so much because of British oppo sition, but owing to colonial opposition in South Africa" itself. While there Is no reason to believe that this is not a semi official summary of the Boers' demands, there Is also reason to think that they may be modified. How strongly the gov; ernment shares that hope may be Judged from the fact that the London police of ficials today were ordered to keep large forces In order to avoid any repetition of "Mafeking night," which, it Is feared, might ensue should the conclusion of peace be announced. It was ascertained late tonight that an other Cabinet meeting has been arranged for tomorrow afternoon. SAYS THERE IS XO CRISIS. Chamberlain Denies Rumors of Ap proaching Changes in Cabinet. LONDON. April 12. Both the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, and the Colonial Secretary, Jo seph Chamberlain, attended . the Cabinet council, held at the Foreign Office at noon today. Prior to the meeting of the Ministers, representatives of the Bank of England had a conference with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, indicating that the budget was a prominent subject of discussion by the Ministers, especially as to the best means of issuing a war loan. In consequence of the, prominence given by the afternoon papers to the report that a Cabinet crisis had occurred, owing to a breach . between Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, on the method of raising war funds, Mr. Cham berlain today issued a signed statement saying the report was pure invention and absolutely untrue. Notwithstanding the sensational and di verse rumors evolced by the unexpected summoning of the Cabinet, public interest, as displayed in Downing street, was of an exceedingly languid type. All of the Ministers were present, with the excep tion of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cadogan, from which it Is Inferred that the question of the immediate adop tion of a more stringent policy towards the United Irish League did not occupy the foremost place at today's council. Among the many peace rumors this morning the most interesting is to the effect that the Boers have Intimated that they are willing to come Into the British Empire as junior partners, to give up their flag and become part of an African Confederation, with a flag of its own, Tvlth a Supreme Court, and with practi cally an American Constitution. Boers In Europe Confer. UTRECHT. Holland, April 12. Dr Leyds, the Transvaal agent, and other Boer leaders, had a long conference yes terday evening. Dr. Leyds afterwards .as serted that the meeting was not connect ed with the conference proceedings at Klerksdrop, Transvaal Colony. Peace, however, he added, could not be concluded without previous consultation with the Boer representatives In Europe. The Boer delegates and Dr. Leyds had another con ference this afternoon, and in the evening the delegates returned to The Hague. Boer Lenders Return to Pretoria. PRETORIA, April 12 Acting-President Schalkburgcr. Generals Louis Botha, Lu cas Meyer and De Larey, Mr. Steyn and General De Wet arrived here this morn ing on a special train from Klerksdorp. The Transvaal and Orange Free State delegates Journeyed on separate trains, both of which were rushed through, the delegates traveling all night. The trains arrived close together. The two parties are not lodged together here, but are quar tered in separate houses. COROXATIOX PREPARATIONS. Fittlnc Up "Westminster Abbey for the Celebration. LONDON, April 12. Westminster Abbey in rapidly being turned into & lumber yard. Hundreds o loads of lumber were discharged at the stately entrances this i week md taken in by the busy carpenters who are erecting stands and otherwise preparing for the coronation of King Ed ward. Hew packed the abbey is likely to be can be judged from the fact that only 16 Inches of space are set aside for each person. This alarmingly sma.ll al lowance has caused several dowagers io say that they will not attend the corona tion, for with the long wait and -the heat ed weather, to say nothing of the weight of the thick velvet robes and the coro nets, the abbey service would be alto gether too trying for middle-aged women, most of whom are not accustomed to such strains. The latest device for celebrating the coronation is an energetic agitation for lights and bonfires from John O'Groat's to Lands End. These beaqons of rejoic ing will probably be established on a scale never before attempted in Eng land. King Edward has expressed very clear ly his wish that money expended In cele brating his coronation should be devoted to charitable and philanthropic objects, rather than to mere ostentatious display. Being informed that Greenwich purposed commemorating the coronation by rais ing funds for a permanent enlargement of the local hospital, the King Informed the borough, through Sir Francis Knol lys, the private secretary of His Majesty, that he was greatly pleased with the spir it displayed and that the local charities, were much the best objects for celebra tion expenditures throughout the king dom. The royal wish Is likely to have a widespread result and benefit numberless institutions. Thanks chiefly to the arrival of a num ber of Americans, the price of peats for the coronation rose, by leaps and bounds this week, until today a lively gamble is going on. The extent of this can be gathered from the fact that early In the week two Americans paid 200 for three small windows on the Strand, and resold them for 600. In Piccadilly three bay windows have gone to an American .pur chaser for 35 guineas each. For a cor ner bay window in the same locality, 1000 was asked. These prices are so ex cessive that there Is bound to be a slump later, but while the boom lasts speculat ors are reaping a rich harvest. A CHIXESE P1LGRAMAGE. Emperor and Empress Dovf-nser "Will Visit the Eastern Tombs. PEKIN. April 12. The Emperor and Empress Dowager, with 100 of the highest officials, including Yuan Shal Kal, the "Viceroy of Chi LI, and a retinue of S000 civilians and 2000 soldiers, will start to morrow on the first pilgrimage in four years to the Eastern tombs of the dynasty, 100 miles distant, to offer sacri fices. The imperial party will be absent from the capital a fortnight and during that time public business will be sus pended. The assembling of the troops forming the escort has afforded an oppor tunity for the circulation of baseless native rumors that the object of the gathering Is an attack upon foreigners. Reports from the central and southern provinces agree that there is a growing resentment In the richest provinces, which did not participate In the Boxer movement, against paying the largest share of the foreign indemnity. The of ficials of these provinces Incite this feel ing by Issuing sinister proclamations com manding the payment of the taxes "to Increase the wealth of foreigners." MEAT FAMINE IX ENGLAND. Retailers Determined That Consum ers Shall Also Suffer. LONDON, April 12. The so-called meat famine, which has been exploited through out the British press, has become a mat ter of keen interest tc Londoners, who hitherto have not been affected by the prevailing scarcity. A careful canvass of London shows that the retailers at the present time are the sole sufferers by the advance In the wholesale price, which amounts to a penny per pound on all grades of meat. Since January, the ma jority of the retailers have been running their business without profit, because lack of' organization prevented a uniform In crease of prices. A meeting, however, has been called, which undoubtedly will re sult In a uniform Increase In the price of meat on the part of retailers throughout London. At the London Theaters. LONDON. April 12. At Wyndham's The ater tonight, W. Dudley Morgan's four act play, "The End of a Story," was kind ly received by the audience. Its recep tion, however, is said to be more on ac count of 3Ir. Wyndham's personality than because of the merit of the play, which the critics agree Is a rather purposeless story, reminiscent of Sardou, and not strongly constructed, though redeemed by some bright dialogue. There was a hearty demonstration In honor of William Gillette on the conclu sion of his eight months' engagement at the Lyceum Theater tonight. Mr. Gil lette will begin a provincial tour with the presentation of "Sherlock Homes" in Ed inburgh Monday. Revolt In the Congo. PARIS, April 12,-The Minister of the Colonies, M. de Crals, has ordered that reinforcements be sent to the scene of the troubles in the French Congo, as the result of the dispatches he received yes terday confirming the report of a revolt of natives in the Sangha district. The Paris manager of the Sangha Company attributes the outbreak to the fact that the fanaticism of the natives has been aroused by human sacrifices which were celebrated recently. He adds that the na tives are well armed with modern rifles. American Girl to Wed & Baron. NEW YORK, April 12. Baron De Moro ques, brother of Mme. De Saulty and nephew of the Comte de Montsaulln, is engaged to Miss Swan, whom he met dur ing two seasons at Newport, says a Paris dispatch to the Herald. The Baron and his fiancee have Just returned to Paris from Monte Carlo. The marriage will be celebrated very shortly. It is presumed that the Miss Swan referred to is Miss Laura Swan, a daughter of Mrs. Ellsha Dyer, Jr., who formerly was lira. S. Tur ner Swan, of Baltimore. Duse In Berlin. BERLIN, April 12. Slgnora Duse began a fortnight's engagement at the Leasing Theater, with an Italian company, with which she opened in D'Annunzio's Fran- cesca da Rimini. The play had not been translated into German, and the long dialogues were unintelligible to the audi ence. The applause was weaker t -nn usual at Duse performances. Revolt In Portuguese India, BOMBAY, April 12. Another revolt against the Portuguese has broken out at Goa, the colony of Portugal, on the west coast of India, The leader of the Mah ratta landowners has taken up arms with 5000 followers, who have burned the mil itary baracks at "Valpoy, where some sol diers were killed. Ambassadors White and Totver. BERLIN, April 12. Andrew D. White, the United States Ambassador to Ger many, will return here -from- the Rivera April 19, and has planned to visit the United States In August. Charlemagne Tower, the United States Ambassador to Russia, has arrived here from St. Peters burg. French. Revenue Receipts. PARIS, April 12. The revenue returns for the month of March show the receipts to have been 203.131,000 francs, which Is 3,16S,200 francs below the estimate, but 4.44L000 francs above the receipts for the corresponding period of 190L The Pope's Health. ROME, April 12. The alarming reports about the pope's health which have been current for some days are unfouxiatd LULL BEFORE THE STORM (Continued from First Page.) facing the Maison du Peuple. A detach ment of the civic guard thereupon marched through the square, clearing it and the contiguous thoroughfares. At 10:30 the mob again grew troublesome, and the guard was ordered to clear the narrow adjacent ; Btreets, in which threatening crowns were massing. The gendarmes charged with drawn sword3 and fixed bay onets, and were greeted with a hall of stones. The people In some of the houses hurled flower pots, knives and lighted boxes of matches upon the heads of the charging police. A revolver fusillade was begun by both sides,, and some of the gendarmes fired their rifles. Several riot ers were Injured, two of them, being shot, one of whom has since died. A few of the police were hurt. After this encounter a wide area around the .Maison' du Peuple was systematically cleared by successive charges of gend armes carrying drawn swords and re volvers and civic guards with fixed bayo nets. Mounted gendarmes, whenever the crowd looked ugly, fired blank cartridges from their revolvers, while the officers shouted at the top of their voices. "Closo your windows." Every open window was covered by the rifles of the troops until It was closed. "Wounded Socialists Die. BRUSSELS. April 13. 2 A. M. The squares in the neighborhood of the Maison du Peuple are still occupied by troops busily engaged in dispersing the crowds which have gathered on the outskirts of the cleared zone. Most of the rioters, however, had become worn and gone home, and there Is little likelihood of further trouble tonight. A great Socialist demonstration oc curred last night at Llcge, where a mob numbering 3000 paraded the streets, smashing windows und shooting. A mass meeting wa held In the square In front of the Maison du Peuple, .at which violent speeches were made. Two of the Socialists who were wounded In the rioting hero last evening have since died in the St. Pierre Hospital. The news of their deaths spread rapidly and a mob gathered with the intention of storming the building and carrying off their bodies, but It was intercepted and dispersed by the troops, who are maintaining a guard at the hospital. 2:40 A. M. A downpour of rain has quenched the last flicker of the rioters' enthusiasm. The guards have disbanded and the town is quiet. Twenty-four per sons have been taken to the hospitals, suffering from Injuries received' at .last night's disturbances. THE HEYWOOD MURDER. Police's Theory of Double Motive of Jones, the Suspect. DETROIT, April 10. The only new de velopment today In the Heywood mystery was the admission by Mrs. Heywo'od that she had been Intimate with William Jones, the roomer in Heywood's house, who Is under suspicion of killing her hus band. . She said he had an Influence over her which she could not understand. "I am Just beginning to come out of the spell which he has cast over me," she said. When Jones was arrested, Mrs. Hey wood insisted he did not leave the house the night Heywood was murdered and that she did not believe It was he who first shot her husband and then crushed his skull with some blunt Instrument probably a hammer. Today, however, Mrs. Heywood says that she agrees with the theory of the police that Jones stole out of the house about 3 o'clock Thurs day morning and committed the murder. Tonight, Mrs. Heywood Is sick in bed, under the care of a physician. The po lice say they are convinced that sho knows nothing of the murder. Jones was in the "sweatbox" again this afternoon, but nothing was gleaned from him by the officers. He Is cooler. If any thing, than when he was first arrested. The police maintain that Mrs. Heywood's admission today of the Illicit relations she had with Jones furnishes a double motive for hhn to destroy Heywood. He prob ably wanted, they say, to marry Mrs. Heywood and also to secure the $10,000 life Insurance which Mr. Heywood car ried, and his property, worth about $10, 000 more. WAR INHAYTI.

Roclc Island Said to Be Concerned In the New Deal Gates and Moorci in It. NEW YORK, April 12. As a result of several conferences here today, there Is a general conviction that control of the Louisville & Nashville road has passed or will pass to the Southern Railway, Representatives of both these roads and a member of the Gates faction were In consultation early in the day, and later John W. Gates was closeted for almost an hour with George W. Perkins, at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. Neither Mr. Perkins nor Mr. Gates would say what passed between them, but It wag admitted that the Louisville & Nashville situation was discussed In Its several phases. The most authoritative report dealing with the recent course of Louisville & Nashville Is substantially as follows: Some lmo ago Southern Railway Inter, ests, alarmed at tho Increasing strength and prosperity of the Louisville & Nash ville, made an offer for a majority in terest. The offer was declined, do report has It, by foreign holders of Louisville & Nashville, who held the balance of power. Recently when Louisville & Nashville in creased Its capital stock by $5,000,000, Mr. Gates and his associates saw an oppor tunity to "squeeze" the insiders by buy ing In the market and creating a scarcity In the stock. To what extent the Gates faction succeeded is still a matter of con jecture, but It Is not doubted that they were In a position to swing a large block t of stock either way. Conditions seemed ripe wr an unempi iu gain control oi me Louisville & Nashville, and Southern Rail way Interests, as represented by Morgan & Co., authorized the Moore Bros, to acquire as much of the stock as possible In the open market, with the understand ing that the stock would be taken over by the Southern Railway. Wall street believes that some sort of a "community of Interest" deal between the Rock Island and the Southern Rail way will follow the change In Louisville & Nashville ownership. Tho Evening Post says: "All Indications seem to point to the fact that the control of the Louisville Railway Is now so held that It can be turred over to the Rock Island Railway. Opinion in Wall street Is In a- nebulous condition, but there Is a conviction that control has passed from the Belmont In terests, and th.at John W. Gates has been a factor In its passing. There appears to be good foundation for the opinion that Mr. Gates may now be In a position, by throwing his stock one way or the other, to decide what- Interest shall hereafter control the Louisville & Nashville. Not much doubt is felt thai the Moore inter ests will secure his prices or stocks." Adding, the Evening Post says the Choctaw road was purchased for the Moore interests by Speyer & Co., as part of the plan for Rock Island extension. ATLANTA, Ga., April 12. If the Louis ville & Nashville system has passed Into the hands of the Southern Railway, It will leave but two lines of road in the Southwestern, States the Southern and the Seaboard Air -Line. Although It has 3b, CkJ&. not been officially announced. It Is be lieved hero that the Atlantic Coast line and the Plant system will soon come un der the control of the Southern Railway, and that the culmination of the deal will be a "community of Interest." The roads controlled by the Louisville & Nashville are the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, the Western & Atlantic, the At lantic. Knoxvllle & Northern, the Georgia Railroad, and several smaller lines. The total mileage controlled by the Louisville & Nashville system 13 5174. The capital stock Is $69,667,000, and bonded In debtedness $110,000,000. The Southern Rail way system Includes 642S miles, capitalized at $1S7,7SO,000, and carrying bonds to the total of 5162.000.000. CHEAP RATES TO THE EAST. Oregonlans Better Than Pamphlets to Advertise This Country. COMSTOCK. Or., April 11. (To the Editor.)

ALL DISEASES . $5 A MONTH A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. The Copeland Medical Institute Does Not Confine Its Prac tice to Catarrhal Affections, but Treats All Chronic . Diseases at a Uniform Rate of $5 a Month, Medicines Included. ' ... The Copeland physicians are in dally reoelpt of letters from all points Inquir ing as ' to the application of their system of treatment to chronic maladies other than those of a catarrhal nature. For the Information of those inquiring and tho public generally, it Is again stated that the provision made by the Copeland Medi cal Institute la for the treatment and cure of all persons suffering from, any form of chronic disease or infirmity whatever at the uniform fee of $3 including all medicines and appliances for one month's continuous and watchful treat ment. The same measure of skill, the same degree of care, the same intelligent exercise of professional energy and effort, and tho same certainty of cure, are afforded to sufferers from other chronlo maladies as to thosa suffering; from catarrhal troubles of any nature. The Proper Coarse for Sufferers. Great numbers of people suffer from the malign poisons of catarrh, as from other chronic maladies, without any -correct or definite idea of the nature of their af fliction. The following symptoms have been carefully arranged to enable many sufferers to understand Just what It Is -that alls them. Many diseases, known under various specific names, ara really of a catarrhal origin and nature. Every part of the mucous membrane, the nose, CATARRH OF HEAD AND THROAT The head and throat become dis eased from neglected colds, cous ins? Catarrh when tho condition of the blood predisposes to this eon. dltlon. "Is your voico husky?" "Do you spit up aUme?" "Do you ache all over?" "Do you snore at night?" "Do you blow out scabs at nlghtr "la your nose stopped up?" "Does your nos discharge?" "Does your nose bleed tasllyT" . "Is there tickling in the throat? "Is this worse toward night?" "Does the no3e Itch and burn?. - "Do you hawk to clear the. throat? "Is there pain across the eyes?" i "la there pain in front of head?" "Is your sense of smell leaving?" "Is the throat dry in the morning?" "Are you losing your sense of taste? "Do you sleep with your mouth open?" "Does your nose stop up toward nlghtr" CATARRH OF BRONCHIAL TUBES This condition often results from catarrh extending; from the head and throat, and if left unchecked, extends down the windpipe into the bronchial tubes, and in time attack the lungs. TJyg yjju a COUgh?" Are you losing flesh?" "Do you cough at night?" "Have you pain in side?" "Do you take cold easily?" "Is your appetite variable?" "Have you stitches In side?" "Do you cough until you gag?" "Are you low-splrlted at tlmesT" "Do you raise frothy material?" "Do you spit up yellow matter?" "Do you couji. on going to bed?" "Do you ough In the mornings?" "Is your cough short and hacking?" "Xo you spit up little cheesy lumps?" "Have you a disgust for fatty foods?' "Is there tickling behind the palate?" "Have you pain behind breastbone?" "Do you feel you are growing weaker?" "la there a burning pain In tho throat?" . "Do you cough worse night and mornings?" "Do you have to sit up at night to get breath?" CATARRH OF THE STOMACH This condition may result from several causes, but the usual cause is catarrh, the mucus dropping down Into the throat and being wallowed. "Is there nausea?" "Are you costive?" "la there vomiting?" "Do you belch up gas?" "Have you waterbrash?" "Are you lightheaded?" "Is your tongue coated?" "Do you hawk and spit?" "In thero pain after eating?" "Are you nervous and weak?" "Do you have sick headache?" "Do you bloat up after eating?" "Is there disgust for breakfast?" "Have you distress after eating?" "In your throat filled with slime?" "Do you at times have diarrhoea?"
