Pumping Problem fo r Irrigation Has
Not Bean Solved.
SECRET POUCE WERE IN PLOT
T w elv e Mem bers Arrested and Placed
in. Dungeon— Chance Leads to
Discovery o f Explosive.
St. Petersburg, A pril 9.— A t last the
terrorists have succeeded impenetrating
the eordon of guards about the csar,
and in smuggling high explosives into
the palace itself, and aa a result there
is a feeling of apprehension among all
o f the high officiate and the guards
about hie majeaty have been trebled.
latte yesterday afternoon, aa the
guard at the palace was being changed,
Lieutenant Colonel Bhiranpeky, whe
waa in command, noticed that one of
th e Cossacks who had been posted at
the main door waa wearing the sword
o f an infantry officer, and not the sabre
o f a Cossack. H e thereupon called a
corporal and placed the «man under ar
rest. H e was at once searched and in-
crim inating documenta were found on
Search o f tbe palace revealed two
packages of dynamite, placed against
tbe main door of the imperial suiter in
a dark corner where they were not
likety to be noticed
A searciting inquiry was at once in
stituted, w ith the result that 12 secret
police agents were arrested aa accom?
plies, and all were harried to the Peter
and Paul fortress, where they were
interviewed by General Trepoff.
The fact that the terrorists have suc
ceeded in corrupting members of tbe
secret police and soldiers has caused
much alarm, | and another attempt
against a high official is looked for.
PRIO E PA ID FO R C A I TLE,
N ext Question fo r Consideration Be
fo re B eef Trust Grand Jury.
Chicago, A p ril 9*. — Prices paid for
livestock by the packers, alleged re
bates granted the packers by the rail
roads for handling the same and tbe
private accounts of some of the packing
concerns are to be closely inquired into
within the next few days by tbe Feder
al grand jury which is investigating
the business affairs of the beef trust.
Another phase of the question of the al
leged combination of some of the pack
ers in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law and Judge Grosscup’ s injunc
tion which ia to be inquired into is the
price paid by wholesale dealers to the
packers for meats.
Witnesses who can give the jurors
detailed and accurate information along
these lines have been subpoenaed and
appeared at tha investigation today.
Some o f theee witneesee testified and,
althongh they refused to make public
what they told the jury, it is said a
large amount of data valuable to the
government was secured from them.
More complaints of interference with
the witnesses reached United States
Attorney Bethea and Captain Porter, of
the secret service, during the day. The
session today was devoted to the exam
ination of men employed at the Chi
cago* stockyards and packing houses.
W’ ith the exception of the Sunday
adjournments, the jury, it is said, w ill
now proceed steadily to the end of the
inquiry. The United States attorney
has announced that May 16 w ill prob-
I t is said the hearing of the plea and
demurrer of Thomas J. Connors, the
indicted superintendent of the Armour
company, w ill be disposed of before
the jury presents other true bills in
volving persons on charges of tamper
ing with witnesses.
Standard Sued fo r Inspection Fee
Chicago, April <’>.— The city of Chi
cago today filed suit for $40,000 against
tbe Standard Oil company.
The bill
is based upon the alleged non-payment
of inspection fees by the Standard Oil
company. It is claimed that the com
pany has for years refused to pAy for
inspections made by the city under an
ordinance regulating
commerce in
naphtha and gasoline. Representatives
of the Standard Oil company hold that
gasoline and naphtha are not products
of petroleum and# that the ordinance
does not apply.

A p ril 9.— John St
Clair, a well known prospector, whose
statements are considered reliable, has
returned from the Yaqni country near
Urea,'Sonora, and reporta that the In
diana are still on the warpath. He
says that Malpuche, the old chief, is
at the head o f a band of over 60 and ia
devastating the whole country, mur
dering, pillaging and burning. Grain
and cotton ranches are being abandoned
and the people are goi£g into the towns
for protection
- The whole country is in a state of
panic. Mail routes between the small
towns have been abandoned and pro
visions are getting scarce. Although
the country ia overran with soldiers,
he says, the Indians are fearless and
continue their depredations. St. Clair
does not believe it is safe for Americans
to go into tbe Yaqni country at this
time, as tbe Yaqnis are very hostile to
Americans.
W h ile going from Ures to his camp
in the mountains, St. Clair heard firing
and ran into what had been an Indian
ambuscade. He found two dead Mex
icans who had been killed only a few
minutes before be reached the place.
Tbe Yaqnis are armed with riflea and
are well supplied with cartridges, St.
Clair says.

Dynamits It Found Hidden In
Imperial Palace.
Washington, A p ril 7.— The attention
oi the director of the geological sur
vey baa been called to the fact that a
misapprehension exists on thd part of
certain citisens of Idaho as to the plans
of the reclamation service in regard to
some important details relating to thp
Minidoka project.
This mis under
standing has arisen, it Is believed, by
season of the efforts of many settlers to
anticipate the plans of the engineers
and secure choice holdings of land.
The government from the first has
warned intending settlers to go slow in
making entries on the lands embraced
in this project, and has called particu
lar attention to the fact that the plaaa
for irrigation, eapecially thoae involv
ing the pumping plant, were merely
tentative, and con id not be worked out
aa quickly aa those for the gravity sys
tem. W h ile nothing has arisen to pre
vent the ultimate development of a
pumping plant, so many delicate en
gineering features are involved that
careful consideration most be given to
these before any definite conclusions
are reeched or the final plana ara ap
proved.
Thus, apperently, w hile no reason
exists for believing that the pumping
features of the Minidoka project w ill
not ultim ately be utilised, tbe engineers
very wisely have concluded to give this
question more study and consideration
before recommending it for conatrnc-
