LOUIS, Nov. 10.—The Federal Grand Jury to-day returned an indictment against United States Senator Burton of Kansas. It is stated that certain fea- tures in the former indictment against Senator Burton, which was quashed, were remedied in this new indictment. The allegation in the present indlctment is the same as, in the one guashed; that while a Senator of the United States Burton accepted money from the Rialto Grain and Becurities Company of “St. Louis for services rendered before the Postoffice Devartment in behalf of that company which was being Investigated by inspectors. The only change is in the legal wording of the indictment. ‘Thei Federal Grand Jury was sworn in to-day by Jhdge Vandiventer, and spent the entire day in the examination of wit- nesses, who, with one or two exceptions, were employes of the Postoffice Depart- ment. Chief Postoffice Inspector W. Vickery of Washington, Willlam G. Cochran, purchasing agent of the Post- tor H. M. Fulton of St. Louis and Inspec- tor Joseph P. Johnson of New Orleans were the principal witnesses. The indictment is the third found against Senator Burton, and should a de- murrer to this be sustained it will be impossible to reindict him for his alleged offense in connection with the Rialto Company, owing to the statute of limita- tions. Senator Burton was indicted and con- victed on a charge of accepting money from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company for using his influence in the company’'s behal? in matters pending be- fore the Postoffice Department at Wash- ington. The trial took place in Novem- ber of last.year. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the finding of the St. Louis court, and the case was sent back for retrial. A new indictment was found by the Grand Jury in March, 1905. Burton’s at- torney filedl a demurrer to this indictment, and it was systained. Judge Vandiventer immediately called the present Grand Jury, in order that the Burton case might be considered before the statute of limi- tations should become effective on No- vember 18. PERSIAN PEOPLE FACE STARVATION WASHINGTON, Nov. 10—General Morteza, the Persian Minister, who ar- rived here yesterday, in an interview spoke of the deplorable condition ex- isting ‘in his country, growingout of the cholera epidemic of 1904, the fail- ure of the crops and the increase in the price of the necessities of life: “Our country is most peculiarly and woefully situated just now,” said Gen- era] Morteza, “and there seems to be ne relief in sight. Through a series a panic. “The steady increase of prices means starvation to many, it.avilljmean migeny, to countless others, spdazdie s . with! heavy hearts’ that' we look forward to the suffering . of this winter, “Ordinarily, in-times: of.crop failure, the Persians depend upon their next door neighbor, Russia, for wheat,” Gen- eral Morteza sald,.but. Russia’s war re- sulted in the importations to Persia be- ing so greatly diminished that few were able to profit by it, and then only the better -classes, as the prices were exorbitant. Two-thirds of , Persia’s commerce is with Russia, and the war crippled our industries in nearly all ways.” ICE-BOUND WHALERS WILL RECEIVE MAIL WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Consul Ra- vandal, at Dawson City, Alaska, has telegraphed the State Department con- firming reports that San Francisco whaling vessels are caught in the Arc- tic ice.
