N. W. COR. ThircTand Morrison STREETS WILL CONTINUE WAR Czar Decides That Dignity of Russia Demands It HE FIGHTS SHY OF WITTE Interior Minister Insists on Recogni tion of Zemstvos in Imperial Coun cils Students Rout Police Who Attempt Search. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 12. The gor ernment seemingly Is about to make the irrevocable decision that prestige abroad and the situation at home necessitate the continuation of the war till peace with dignity is possible. Beyond this point, however, no confirmation exists, espe cially regarding the immediate develop ment of the Interior situation. Emperor Nicholas is still apparently vacillating as to whether he shall allow M. Wltte full sway, in the meantime de clining to permit Prince Svlatopolk-Mir-eky to retire. The latter persists in the view that the confidence of the people In the manner in which the reform mani festo is to "be worked is vital, and this is impossible if the work Is to be left .completely In the hands of the bureau crats. Direct consultation with repre sentatives of the classes Interested he 'consider, essential. It has now been definitely established that the third section of the manifesto as originally drafted by Minister Svlato-pplk-MIrsky provided for representation of the Zemstvos in the council of the Emperor . and It was strlckeri out against 'his earnest protest. Prince Sviatopolk-Mlreky's. retirement from the ilinistry of the Interior con tinues to be considered only a matter of a short time, although there is seem 'ing evidence that the Emperor hopes by temporising to avoid the necessity of concentrating the power In the hands of M. Wltte. Should the - real storm break, however, no one doubts that M. "Wltte Is the one strong man In sight who can be called to the bridge. Socialists, revolutionists and- other ex treme elements, as well as the subject races of the borders of Russia, all have different ambitions, with which the con servative Liberals, whom the government really hopes to appease, have little In common: and. above all, Russia's unnum bered millions of peasants, although they have manifested an abhorrence of war. principally for economic reasons, have given almost no evidence of having been stirred by the political agitation. All is quiet In the Interior; the people seemingly "being absorbed with the Christmas holi days. No further disorders have occurred in connection with mobilization, the only acute movement of any sort being demon strations at Nljnl Novgorod and Moscow, both confined to meetings of echool pro fessors, who took advantage of the occa sion to protest against the disabilities under which, they declared, the stafTs of the universities labored. The meeting at Nljnl Novgorod was dispersed by the police 'and several persons outside the hall were injured, but none of them seriously. Japanese forces in Corea. Russia points out that the continuance of this propa ganda may result in an anti-European outbreak throughout China. In view of these facts, the Russian government declares Russia will in the future- act In her own Interests when dealing with the question of Chinese neutrality. BEFORE HELP ARRIVES.

Noth ing less than a complete guarantee of their proprietary rights in their news papers, which will absolve them . from censorship penalty until after a trial, will meet their demands.

TWO SENATORS EXPELLED COLORADO LEGISLATURE UNDO ING WORK OF 1903. Born Refuses to Go and Is Forcibly Ejected Grounds or Peabody's Contest Announced. DENVER, Jan. 12. The Senate today by a party vote, seated James B. Dick. in place of Senator Robert it. Born. Dick was unseated by the Democratic major ity during the contest over the election of United Suites Senator twa years ago. The Senate membership is now 20 Repub licans and 13 Democrats, with two Vacan cies. Senator Born refused to give up his seat and was forcibly ejected by the Seageant-at-arms. Senator Daniel Healy, who was seated two years ago In place of J. F. McDon ald, now Lieutenant-Governor, also was expelled by a vote of 18 to 15, the same as in- Born's case. Senator Horace T. De Long. Republi can, protested the action as unconstitu tional. The Democrats say that a two thirds vote is necessary to expel mem bers and may apply to the Supreme Court for redress. In a statement on the .floor of the Sen ate. Healy declared an attempt had been made to bribe him. He said that Satur day during the joint session, he was call ed into n private, room and was told that, if he would vote for the confirmation of Judge Goddard. he 'need have no fear o"f being unseated. Notice of former Governor James H. Peabody's contest against Governor' Alva Adams, for the office of Governor, was filed with the Legislature today. The complaint sets forth the allegation that the majority of 9774 for Adams on the face of the. returns, as finally canvassed, was obtained by means of a conspiracy In Denver and several other counties. The Legislature is petitioned to open the ballot-boxes from a number of precincts In Denver, Adams. Las Animas. Boulder and Conejos counties. It is alleged the frauds in these precincts were so extensive and varied that it would be impossible to seg regate the true from the false ballots, and the Legislature Is asked to discard the precincti altogether. It is charged that a padded list of 10,000 names was used in Denver on elec tion day, .nd that the registration books contained at least 10,000 false, fraudulent and mythical names. It is further set forth that 10.000 votes were cast by re peaters in this city. Charges of ballot box stufllng, substitution of prepared bal lots for those cast by voters, and mis counting by election Judges, are also In cluded In the specifications of fraud. Peabody askr to have 93 Denver pre cincts thrown out. and claims than the vote of this county should show 6300 plu rality for him Instead of 4093 for Adams, as canvassed. The accusation is made that in Pueblo 1200 aliens were voted for Adams In nine precincts, and that 200 Republican voters were prevented from casting their votes through the acts of watchers appointed by the district Judges. Fifteen Informations, charging crimes under the election laws, have been filed by District Attorney Stidiger. Mr. Stid Igcr announced today that many more Informations would be filed as rapidly as It is possible for them to be drawn up and that he proposed to carry the cases through to the end.

Grand Jury Report Tell3 Haw Liquor Dealers Influenced Legislators. ALBANY. N. Y.. Jan. 12. The grand jury of New York County recently Inves tigated charges that a corruption fund had been raised by the New York Sfate Liquor-Dealers' Association for the pur pose of Influencing excise legislation.

In the evidence accompanying the pre sentment It appears that Fritz Llnd Ilnger. president of the association, and other witnesses told of raising a fund of $23,000 and how it was spent. Sev eral witnesses testified that the special committee of the. association had spent several 'thousand dollars "entertaining" Senators and Assemblymen at a hotel In Albany. Another agent of the association told of paying the bills of Assemblymen at hotels and houses of IH-repute and also large bills for typewriting. Chairman Plank, of the Assembly Ex cise Committee, and members of the Ex cise Committees in both houses are al leged to have Deen the principal ones who received attention. The testimony showed that tSCOO was set apart for the separate purpose of influencing the State Excise Department. "William Halpin. then chairman of the Executive Committee of the New York City Republican Committee, was ap proached and offered' money for campaign purposes, provided certain restraints upon, liquor -dealers were removed. The Jury minutes show no record of any promises received from Chairman Halpin. The report was referred to the Excise Committee, of which Air. Plank is chair man. Mr. Plank later said, that he had never met the committee from the Liquor-Dealers" Association by appointment or re ceived entertainment- or favors from It. Japan Buys Horses in Montana. BILLINGS.

I had seen the advertisements of Red Raven and chanced to ask a druggist friend of mine what it meant, You can Imagine my surprise at finding Red Raven was the remedy par excellence, ibr just such a disorder as I was suffering from. I tried a bottle before breakfast the next morning and found prompt relief. I learned that they kept it .not only at the drug stores, but at any cafe or hotel, and since then in all my travels, when suffer ing from- headaches. Indigestion or nausea.
