PEACE TALK IS ON FOOT
Washington, April 28.—Expecting
•hit Washington Is destined to play
an important part in the preliminary
negotiations that will precede the
cessation of hostilities between Rus-
sia and Japan, even though the
American capital may not be select-
ed as the scene for actual peace ne-
gotiations, Baron Sternberg, German
embassador, and M. Jusserand,
French ambassador, will sail for their
respective countries soon after con-
ferring with President Roosevelt
when he returns from the west.
Baron Sternberg will have several
audiences with the emperor, and M.
Jusserand will see President Lou bet
and M. Delcasse, to whom will be
communicated in au entirely unoffi-
cial way the earnest wish of the pres-
ident that the war be ended at the
earliest possible moment. The am
bassadors will supplement their dis-
patches by personal testimony of the
activity at Washington in this direc-
tion. which has bean led by the pres-
ident, and in the event that the out-
look for opening peace negotiations
this summer seems favorable, both
ambassadors will be prepared to re-
turn to their posts at once.
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British
ambassador, who sails tomorrow on
the Etruria for London, is In full pos-
session of President Roosevelt's
views, which he will communicate In
an informal way to King Edward. So
far as their ambassadors at Washing,
ton can Judge King Edward and Em-
peror William are as anxious as Pres-
ident Roosevelt for an early ending
of the war.
General Linevitch
I* Interviewed.
Gunsbu Pass, April 28.—General
Linevitch granted an Interview to the
Associated Press at his quarters here
today In the course of which he ex-
pressed himself as highly satisfied
with the present condition of the Rus-
sian army and Its readiness to as-
sume the offensive.
He manifested emphatic regret for
the retreat from Mukden. The new
commander-in-chief believes that the
peril to the army at that juncture was
over-estimated and 'that they were
far from being lost when the retreat
was ordered.
Would Not
Have Left Mukden.
With his eyes gleaming with a
great energy and emphasis on his
words, with a blow upon the camp
table before him, General Linevitch
exclaimed:
"I would certainly not have re-
treated. I realize that It Is easy now
•to pass judgment upon accomplished
facts, but nevertheless I repeat I would
not have retreated’ I persuaded Kuro-
patkin to stand at Tie Pass and we
halted there for a time. We could
have remained, but he considered it
inexpedient and the retirement was
continued. After assuming command
I gave the men a day’s rest. The
Japanese did not press us and could
not do so, ag their condition was quite
as bad as ours.
Relrement Ha*
Been Exaggerated.
t ’’As for that unfortunate retirement
itself, any observer can convince him-
self that Its significance and especial-
ly Its Influence upon the army has
been Industriously and greatly exag-
gerated by the Japanese and the for-
eign press.’’
Fog Renders
Observation Difficult.
London, April 29.—Three British
cruisers, according to the Dally Tele-
graph’s correspondent at Singapore,
are patrolling outside the harbor there
as the thick, wet weather renders the
strait* invisible tp>m the roads.
Weather conditions may therefore
prevent the observation of Vice Ad-
miral NebogatolTs movements. The
Dally Telegraph's correspondent at To-
klo states that foggy weather prevails
on the Japanese sea. The Morning
Post’s Shanghai correspondent reports
that Vice Admiral Rojegtvensky's
squadron was on Thursday off Leong-
soi bay in Hainan. No other news
reached London regarding the move-
ments of the Russian warships.
Martial Law
Expected Momentarily.
Talpeh, Formosa, April 28.—It is
expected that martial law will be de-
clared throughout the island of For-
mosa at any moment. The author-
ities view the situation calmly and
Chinese residents continue their avo-
cations undisturbed. Steamer com-
munication remains open.
8t. Petersburg Get*
First New* of Schwab De*l.
8t. Petersburg, April 28.—New* of
the’conclusion of an arrangement be-
tween Charles M. Schwab and the
Russian admiralty for the reconstruc-
tion at the Russian navy, contained
in these dispatches, wa* telegraphed
back to St. Petersburg from New
York and published there this after-
noon, being the first information on
the subject furnished to the Russian
public.
The news created a great sensation
among the agents of foreign ship-
yards, who have been waiting con-
tinuously in Hie corridors of the ad
miralty building. When the facts be-
came known to them they descended!
upon the admiralty in a body, de-
manding details and particulars of
the mysterious method of construct-
ing by which Schwab proposed to
build ships of 20 per cent, higher effi-
ciency than anything now afloat, but
they obtained little satisfaction. The
few superior officers who took part
in the secret negotiations naturally
declined to talk, and the Inferior offi-
cers could only explain their lack of
knowledge.
IN THE SENATE.
Session Is Held but No Eusinesa
Transacted During the Day.
Austin, April 26.—The senate con-
vened at 10 a. m. and stood at ease
for some time waiting for the per
diem bill to come over from the
house. It developed that a quorum
was not present, and it was placed
under call for the purpose of obtain-
ing and keeping a quorum. At 12:30
p. m. recess was taken until 2:30
p. m.
A quorum was present when the
afternoon session convened, bn mo-
tion of Senator Willacy the house
per diem and contingent expense
bills were indefinitely postponed as
the senate bills on these subjects had
already been passed by the senate.
A resolution was adopted to hold
an executive session tomorrow after-
noon at 6 p. m. to confirm the ap-
pointment of a successor to the late
J. R. Curl as secretary of state.
The senate took a recess until to-
morrow at 10 o’clock.
WILL MAKE NO DEFENSE
MISS PATTERSON’S ATTORNEYS
REST THEIR CASE.
Content That the 8tate Has Failed to
Prove It# Case and That Their Cli-
ent Muet Therefore Be Declared In-
nocent—Interesting Developments.
New York, April 28.—After a day of
interesting developments both the
prosecution and defense rested In
the case of Nan Patterson, under in-
dictment for the murder of Caesar
Young, the wealthy Bookmaker, al-
most a year ago.
The prosecution finished the case
just before the adjournment of court
and later Attorney O’Rlelly, counsel
for Miss Patterson, notified the prose-
cution that his side would submit no
defense and would rest on the con-
tention that the state had failed to
make any case against the defendant.
The plan has been under consideration
for some days, but ifras only decided
upon at a conference today between
the counsel for Nan Patterson and her
aged father. The decision means a
speedy conclusion of the Patterson
woman's third trial for the sensa-
tional tragedy on West Broadway.
When the case is called Monday, to
which date the trial was adjourned
today, District Attorney Rand will Im-
mediately begin a summing up of the
case for the state.
Besides this, the succession of
events which marked today’s proceed
lugs included the court’s denial of
a motion to dismiss the Indictment
against the prisoner's sister, Mrs. J.
Morgan Smith, in the argument which
she made some Interesting statements,
but stood on her right to refuse to an-
swer questions on the ground that the
answers might Incriminate her.
Rand promised to quash the conspir-
acy indictments against Mrs. Smith
If she would answer bis questions,
and the protest of the counsel for the
defense to the court that Rand’s mer-
ciless method of questioning was “go-
ing bad wltn the witness” and the re-
jection by the court of the much
quoted letter of Mrs. Smith to Young
expressing fears as to the conse-
quences if Young did not see her sis-
ter.

CHANGE IN CONSTITUTION
Milwaukee, Wi*., April 28.—Bitter-
ess was added to his already over-
sowing cup today when Frank Q. Blge-
low, the defaulting banker, was oblige
ed to leave his palatial home on Astor
street, It having been taken possession
of by the Wisconsin Trust and Secur-
ity company as receiver for the Bige-
low estate.
Bigelow with his family, taking lit-
tle save their personal effects, went
to the home of his sob, where they
will make their home for the time
being.
A supplementary schedule of liabili-
ties and assets to Bigelow's petition
In bankruptcy probably will not be
filed for a week or ten days. It Is
said that Judge Carpenter In the coun-
ty court will take steps within a short
time to remove Bigelow from the va-
rious trust* which he holds by virtue
of testamentary appointment.
Bigelow acknowledged today that
he owed the Brodhead estate an
amount not to exceed $50,000 in'ad-
dition to the 8200,000 in the list of un-
secured creditors. The resignation of
Bigelow as chairman of the Milwaukee
Clearing House association has been
received and accepted.
The council chamber in the city
hall was filled to the limit last night
at the quarterly meeting of the Pio-
neer society of El Paso. The presi-
dent, Judge Joseph Magoffin, was in
the chair, and presided over a most
pleasant meeting of the old-timers,
lasting over two hours.
The meeting was called to order
at 8:20 and the opening ode, being
words adapted to the music of "Auld
Lang Syne/’ was sung. The last
verse contains a reference to a cup
of "willy waught,’’ and Judge Buck-
ler Insisted that the proceedings be
suspended a minute while he was in-
formed what “willy waught” was. He
was told that It meant a friendly cup
of good cheer, and the meeting again
took up the regular order of busi-
ness.
The minutes/ of the last meeting,
which were very extensive, were read
and approved. Roll call immediate-
ly following showed that forty of a
membership of 180 were present.
The report of the executive com-
mittee was called for and this show-
ed in brief that membership dues had
been received from 140 of the 180
members, Also that a suitable desk
and cabinet had been provided and
placed In a room in the city hall, fa
the cabinet all the mementoes of the
association would bo placed and the
desk was for the use of the secre-
tary.
Th* Biographical
Sketch Book.
The fact was called to the atten-
tion of the members that the bio-
graphical sketch book of the mem-
bers was not being filled up as rapidly
as was desired, and the pioneers were
requested to hand their biographs to
the secretary along with a picture,
and these would be placed on file.
The famous gold brick, on which
some of the pioneers had been in-
duced to put up $2,500 in 1885, was
formally presented to the society to
be kept as a relic. The committee
at work on tbe matter of a ladles’
auxiliary asked for more time, and
this was granted. The report of the
treasurer, showing a balance of
$305.05 on hand, was accepted.
Amendment tb
the Constitution.
Under the head of unfinished busi-
ness. the amendment to section 11,
article 3 of the constitution, adding
the words, “or association,” follow-
ing the words ’’the executive commit-
tee,” was voted upon and adopted.
Picnic May 10 it
Washington Park.
When new business web called for
the matter of the annual picnic of
the association was brought up. At-
tention was called to the fact that
this picnic was to be held May 10,
and the secretary said that four
places had been offered for the oc-
casion. These were Hart’s mill,
Woodlawn park, Washington park
and Max Weber's place in Juarez,
known as the old Alexander ranch.
Washington park was selected.
All Who Have Been
Her* 20 Year* Eligible.
Dr. Vilas gave notice that at this
time he would present an amendment
to be voted upon at the next meeting
of the pioneers. His amendment, If
adopted, would be that articles 7 and
of section 11 and in brief provide
that any citizen of El Pa*o who has
been in the city 20 years shall be eli-
gible to membership, provided he is
acceptable to the memebers. The pro-
posed change also limited the member-
ship to 200 and provided that when
applications were received which
would run the number over 200 that
only enough of them should be accept-
ed to make the number of members
the required 200 and the other appli-
cations filed until such a time a* the
membership should fall below the re-
quired number and then they would
be considered. •
This amendment provoked consider-
able discussion, although It was ex-
pressly stated that discussion at this
time would only enlighten the mem-
bers on the proposed change, but that
no vote would be taken until the next
meeting. Judge Buckler spoke against
part of the amendment saying that
whenever a man had the requirements
necessary to become a member of tbe
pioneers that if he was an acceptable
applicant, he would not want to he
turned down even temporarily wblje
some one else was elected. The idea
that the applicant wa* turned down
would be stronger he thought than his
knowledge of the fact that tbe mem-
bership was limited to 200.
Mr. Newman explained that as It
at present existed the constitution re-
quired that a man be a resident of El
Paso on or before Dec. JX, 1883. He
said that all realized the need of mak-
ing different qualifications as practic-
ally all the members had been secur-
ed who were eligible under the consti-
tution. He therefore favored the prop-
osition that offered membership in the
pioneers after 20 years residence In
the city. But he thought that the fact
uat the membership was limited to
200 would make It circumscribed
enough that membership in the body
would be striven for as soon’ as the
applicant completed his 20 years’ resi-
dence. Following all the discussion on
the subject all were advised to think
over the matter and talk It over and
be prepared to vote upon It at the next
meetin.
Stump of Pioneer
Tree Presented to Society.
A. A. K. ne h«sl authorized Mr. New-
man to present to the society the old
stump of the ash tree which for many
years stood on the corner of the llt-
tie plaza In front of whore KUne’a
curio store now stands. The tree has
quite a history. It being a landmark
of the early days of El Paso. The
tree Is believed to have been planted
In the year 1843 and at least one man,
horsethlef captured just before he
a horsethlef captured just before he
to have been hung from the limbs of
tbe old asb. Dr. Vila* moved that the
present be accepted and that Mr. Kline
thanked by the society.
Mr. Newman also presented to the
society the bound volume of a Las
Cruces paper published many years
ago.
Suggestions for
Picnic Plans. j
On behalf of the executive commit-
tee, Mr. Newman asked lor sugges-
tions as to the nature of the plans
for the picnic May 10. “The same
as last year,” was called for and J. A.
Buckler wanted the committee to try
and provide some ’“willy waught.” A
motion thanking Mr. Boone for the
park and asking him to be tbelr guest
on that day was made and carried.
Reminiscences
of Early Days. ,
Following the 'regular business
meeting a short tins.' is devoted to a
brief entertainment, generally pro-
vided by tales of the early days by
the different members present. Dr.
Vilas was appointed in charge of the
entertainment and he announced that
he was going to atari at one end of
the front row of pioneers and go
straight down the line and that each
one had to talk for a least three min-
utes, describing some incident of the
long ago.
The Gold
Brick Story.
Lew pavis was first and he told
the story of the gold brick which that
evening had been presented to the so-
ciety. He insisted that for the pro-
tection of any who might have bought
a share In It and Wi re present there
last night that all parties should bo
nameless. He said that his connection
with the affair hapi" tied because he
was presiding Justice lu El Paso coun-
ty at that time and the swindler*
were tried before !.„u. The two men
having the gold brick, which Is an
ingot of copperish looking metal,
weighing perhaps forty pounds, ap-
peared at the homo of a member of
the Pioneer society. They claimed to
be a stage driver and a prospector,
respectively, who had been out in
the mountains and struck It rich.
They had no money but they had
melted down the gold they had found
and now had an ingot of pure gold
which they offered to sell for $5,000.
To prove that the brick was genuine
one of them secured a drill bit and
seemingly bored a bole In the brick
at random. The shavings he turned
over to the Pioneer to be tested. This
was done and the test showed the
shavings from the drill bit to be pure
gold.
Accordingly $2,500 was advanced on
the brick with an additional $2,500
to be paid at a later time. As soon
as the brick was turned over to the
El Pasoan’s, they found it to be
spurious and bad the two men who
had sold It to them arrested. They
were tried before Judge Davis and he
wanted to hind them over to tbe
grand Jury, However, It seemed that
their lawyer proved that the transac-
tion had tken place on the other Bide
of the river and that Texas had no
jurisdiction over the case. The men
were turned loose after restoring the
$2,500 and have never since been
heard of. The brick is now the prop-
erty of the Pioneers and was In the
room last evening with the hole
drilled almost through It.
Judge Buckler was next In line,
and he rose to speak, he said, with a
distinct feeling of disappointment.
When Secretary Newman had an-
nounced the presenting of the gold
brick to the society be thought It was
genuine. Judge Ravi*, story had dis-
illusionized him and he asked that
the matter of accepting the brick
be opened for reconsideration. He
then told of his coming to El Paso
in 1880. He had come as far as San
Marcia! on the Santa Fe and the re-
mainder of the way In a stage. He
spoke very interestingly of the El
Paso of the early eighties.
The Oldcit
Inhabitant but One,
Vice President Parker was next, but
had no talk ready Pioneer Robinson
told a short story and then Pioneer
Davis was called on. He antedated
all previous talkers, saying that he
arrived in El Paso In 1870, coming
from Marshall to HllJville, Texas, on
the train and by stage from Hlllvllle.
He then gave the details of the kill-
ing of District Judge Clark in 1870,
to whtch he was an eye-witness.
Clark, It seems, was killed by a man
by the name of Williams, and Will-
iams in turn was shot by a friend
of Clark’s named French, Williams
dying later In the eottnty jail. Fur-
ther trouble was quieted by the ap-
pearance of troops from Fort Blis*.
Judge Allen
Blacker Present.
A motion was then made to ad-
journ. but Dr. Vilas asked their In-
dulgence for a few minutes longer
while they listened to a few word*
from Former District Judge Allen
Blacker. Judge • Blacker ha* been in
poor health for a number of months
and had sufficiently recovered to At-
tend the meeting.
True to the run of speakers, Judge
Blacker proved to be Just a little bit
older as an El Pasoan than the pre-
MR. BOWEN MUST
EXPLAIN CHARGES
Believed He Will Be Call-
ed Home to Tell of
What He Known
of Loomis.
PERSISTENT RUMORS
American Minister to Veneauela
Has Several Times Communi-
cated Reports Regarding
His Predecessor There.
PERSONAL LETTER TO TAFT
Washington, April 28.—Secretary
Taft la considering the advisability of
ordering Minister Bowen, at. Caracas,
to report for the charges he has
brought against Assistant Secretary
Loomis, which he has conveyed to
Secretary Taft In a personal letter.
If President Roosevelt assents the or-
der will be Issued Immediately.
This proceeding is to determine
precisely the extent of Bowen’s re-
sponsibility for the circulation of these
charges. The official mind here is
made up, so far as lxiomis is con-
cerned; It Is absolutely convinced of
his tnnneence of any wrongdoing while
he was minister to Venezuela and has
reached this conclusion after a thor-
ough gifting of the charges. That
being the case. It is felt here that
Bowen. In order to escape blame bln;-
self, must show that, hq did one of
two things:
Either by private inquiry in Caracas
he arrived at another conclusion as to
the truthfulness of the charges, or he
did what he could to denounce them
and discourage their circulation in
Venezuela. s
Months ago Bowen reported to Sec-
retary Hav the rumors affecting the
Integrity of his predecessor In free cir-
culation at Caracas and to his knowl-
edge these rumors have been trans-
mitted promptly -by foreign diplomatic
representatives to various European
capitals.
Mr. Hay promptly communicated
the message to the president and then
admonished Bowen that It scarcely
was becoming an American minister
to allow- his predecessor to be tra-
duced when the honor of the mission
was Involved. Meanwhile an Investi-
gation was conducted here which sat
lulled the authorities of the inno-
cence of Dr. IxiomlH. The rumors In
Caracas became more and more defi-
nite as the state department here In-
creased Its pressure on President.
CaHtro to secure n settlement of the
asphalt case, and finally Bowen again
took them up and repeated them to
Secretary Taft.
The secretary felt that, no matter
how Bowen regarded It, they were
not personal to him and communicat-
ed wllh the president on the subject.
Having thus become official, however,
the matter Could not be dropped and
hence the determination to bring
Bowen to Washington to explain his
connection with It. It. Is not doubted
that the president will accept prompt-
ly Secretary Tart’s succestlon and
that IiOwen will take (he next mail
steamer for this country.
It did not pass the house by a two-
thirds majority. This bit of informa-
tion was contained In these dispatches
the day after the measure went down
to the executive office.
As to positions under the bill, Mr.
Clay has been getting letters at the
rate of ten a day regarding applicants.
It will be several months before any
appointments, such as clerkships, are
made, as tt will require about five
months' operation of the law to pro-
duce enough revenue with which to
pay clerical salary. Fees are pro-
duced from the examination of the
Institutions, and they wilt be allowed
to operate for some time before exam-
ination* are made.
