MILWAUKEE, June 18.—Another grand jury for this county will meet next Thursday, and previously un- struck votaries of the Milwaukee graft system who have been living in fear of lightning are hunting insulated platforms and studying the statutes of limitations. Public interest has been whetted by the knowledge that the forthcoming grand jury will be com- posed of as conscientious a body of citizens as ever was called upon to perform a stern duty; that mysterious confessions have reached the District Attorney within the last few weeks, and that the law of immunity has not yet run against some of the biggest transactions, tainted with suspicion of corruption, that form part of the cor- porate history of Milwaukee city and county. No one knows where the trial of the Milwaukee graft inquisition is going to lead, and every one is guessing. Prosecuting officials, fired with ambi- tion to expose the whole festering rot- tenness of years, very secretive as to the information now in their posses- sion, broadly hint that if the tountzln head of graft can be reached lations will parallel those crusade in St. Louis. ————— FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS i VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION ExA'rmuNOELLV. ‘Southern !tu-u;.

PARIS, June 18.—The improvement in the Franco-German situation took a more definite turn to-day, when the semi-official version of yesterday’s con- ference bétween Premier Rouvier and Prince von Radolin, the German Em- bassador, became known. This version shows that the Embassador asked France to accept in principle the plan of an international conference, leav- ing the detafls to be adjusted later. Premier Rouvier answered that he de- sired at first to be adyised upon Ger- many’s object in securing the confer- ence and .the questions it would be called upon to consider.. As the result of instructions from Berlin, Prince von Radolin was able to respond to these inquiries and to give definite informa- tion the German Govern- ment’s ideas upon the scope and llnlu- tions of the conference. More larly was he able to relieve the con~ ference plan from any appearance of being a menace to France or of baeing a preliminary step to override Frerich prestige in Morocco. .

Spectal Dispatch to The Call ST. LOUIS, June 18.—Notwithstand- ing that the so-called game warden bill, prohibiting the selling or wearing of the plumage of game birds for the decoration of women's hats, or the wearing of feather boas went into ef- fect yesterday, the women of St. Louls ignored the law and appeared om the streets to-day with Dbefeathered hats in countless numbers. It is sald un- officially that it is not the intention of the officers to enforce the law. so far as women are concerned, but that they ‘will turn their attention to preventing the sale of feathers by milliners. Dealers generally have been supplied ‘with printed coples of the law and notle fled that it must be observed. Whil® claiming that its enforcement will mean a loss of millions of dollars, wholesale milliners have cut out feath- ers from their shelves and will seek to devise some means of adornment other than that procured from game birds. ‘When the Legislature convenes in 1907 an endeavor will be made to have the present law repealed. ———— TO BE IMMINENT IN SPAIN MADRID, June 18.—A ministerial erisis is believed to be imminent.
