The mere fact that the Kmperor at last
yielded to the pressors 'for Wltte's ap

plete assurance that his Majesty is sin
cerely determined to end the oonSlct and
make peace if a possible basis is obtain

Every Influence which championed 3C
Wltte was for peace, while oa th con
trary, in every Instance, those who op
posed him were for a prolongation of the
struggle. France, through Ambassador
Nclldolf. strongly urged him for th post,
but the main credit for M. Witts' seleo
tlun belongs to Foreign Minister lcn
dorrr. who never ceased to press for his
selection.
Count Lajnadortr ana M. Wltte are now
in close alliance, and when M Boollgln

O WITTE'S APPOKCTsUEST
WORMWOOD TO THE CZAR.
St. Peterrbcrg. July IS. 1-JH a.
m. A prominent Russian states
man, who is peculiarly qualified to
speak on the matter, said to the
Associated Press:
"The Err.pe.ror now sincerly de
sires peace. In spite of somowhat
strained personal relations in the
past between the Emperor and M.
Witt, da to the fact that the
latter was never a fawning courier,
hat always Insisted on bluntly tell
ing hi Izcpestel Master what he
heist rtd. th Mmpeiur has always
reeognlasd M. Watt' great abil
ity aad devotsoa to th hast Inter
est of Russia.
lt was gall aad wormwood to
hi Majesty, however, to turn for
the extrication, of Russia from her
dtfnculties to the very man who
predicted all the disasters with
which the throne has been beset, as
the result of this unfortunate war.
and w!:oe advice he so long re-
Jecte-I The fact that the Emperor
has done so proves the measures of
his desire for peace.
"Nevertheless, his Majesty is sur
rounded dally, even hourly, by
members of the military pirtr.
many of whom are blindly chau
vinistic. The Kmperor cannot dis
regard the trett who control the
power which supports the throne
and the dynasty, and therein lies
the dancer that even M. Wltte may
fall. Howcer successful th nego
tiations may be, the machinations
of the military party will hate to
be reckoned with."

RECIPROCITY IN FOREIGN TRADE
URGED BY MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE
Strong Resolutions Are Adopted by Local Body, Calling Upon Pres
ident and Congress to Take Karly Measures for Amicable
Agreements With Other Countries Advantages of Measure
Pointed Out.
In a Mrong set of resolutions the Board
of Directors of the Merchants Kxchange.
at Its monthly meeting ytsterday. went
on rccorj as belnpt in favor of reciprocity.
Such a policy by the United States Gov
ernment. It was urged, would be a mean,
of Increasing our agricultural and Indus
trial trade with foreign countries.
In discussion preceding the adoption of
th resolution, several speeches were made
upon the necessity of changing the pro
tertian policy so as to come sbreast of
the times and gain commerce with other
countries by a rational exchange of favors
and concessions.
It was practically the unanimous opin
ion of the directors that the tariff laws of
the country should be changed and
amended If this country Is to maintain
trade relation with other countries.
Certain lines cf trade with foreign na
tions are In danger of becoming lost al
together because of the absurd tariff reg
ulations. II. It. Wernse. chairman of the Legis
lative and General Relation, committees,
recommended that the board pass proper
rejltitlon favoring the trcadenln;; of our
commerce by the conclusion of s-irh
reciprocal treaties or beneficial business
agreements as 'ill bring abo.it the de
sired result. The report was received and

That District Attorney Jerome's senti

with Chief Klelv was evidence. esteri'ay
nhen he Issued a general order for the

view In the newspapers and then to go
and do otherwise.
Chief Klely stated. Jn his order, thit
Mr. Jerome's Ideas In this regard were ex
actly opposite to what the reality was
going to be In St. Uui. He made no
mention of having any desire to argue th.
point with th attorney: he merely said
that h wanted all members of the force
to keep saloons closed tighter than ever
on Sundays, and to permit no relaxation
of the rules now governing dramshops.
"Redouble your efforts In keeping Sun
day closed." wa. the burden of the Chiefs

MARRIAGE LICENSE
FOR GEN, .IU0EN?
Permit Issued in St. Louis to Ben
jamin. Viljoea aad Mra. M. D.
Lowden of Pittsfield, 111.,
Causes Conjecture.
A marrlaaw license was Issued Thurs
day tn Benjamin Viljoen of Chihuahua,
Mexico, and Mrs. Myrtle Dlckersea Low
den of Pittsfield. III.
It Is the belief that the VMJoen ta this
ease is General Ben VllJoea ef Boer War
fame, who wns cne of the most prominent
of the Boer contingent at the Boer War
show during the World's Fair last sum
mer. As far as could be learned last night,
the marriage had not been celebrated.
The marriage license had not been re
turned to the City Hall snd as far ss
could b ascertained no Justice of th.
Peace had performed the ceremony.
None of the hotel registers bore th
names of either Mr. Viljoen or Mia. Gow
den. It I. known that General Cronje while
on hi. lecture tour visited Pittsfield. 111.,
during the winter and delivered a lecture.
He stayed at a hotel which he liked so
well that a party of about twenty, who
had been. participants In the Boer War
Show during the Exposition, went to Pitts
field and spent the greater part of th.
winter at the hotel. General Viljoen was
among the party.
Mrs. Lowden. who was then Miss Diek
erson. met Viljoen. It Is said, during th
Exposition. She was later married to Low
den. and. on her petition, a dlvoree waa
granted in either St. Louis or Kansas
City, it is reported In pittsfield.
Mrs. Lowden was in PlttsSeld last week,
it 1. said, preparing her trousseau for aa
approaching marriage. It Is believed la
rittsfjei. that General Viljoen vllsted her
in the Illinois city several times durtag th
winter snd spring, and It Is a surmise that
the licensees In this esse are the former
Mrs. Lowden and General Viljoen.
