GUARDS AGAINST BOMBS Will Sneak Into Capital With Family Surrounded by Cossacks and Police Radicals Call Truce for One Da y . . ST. PETERSBURG, May 9. The flash of oars on the Neva, where sailors or the Imperial Guard were practicing for the debarkation of Emperor Nicholas and tne members of the imperial family from their yachts tomorrow, the parading of soldiers In spick and span uniforms, the blare of bands, and countless police marked the final stage of the prepara tions for the opening of the National Par liament and the first meeting In centuries of the Emperor of Russia and elected representatives of his people. People Take a Holiday. The importance of the event was in the sur. The population of the capital, for once aroused from the apathy in which it has lain for the long, dreary months of the wear and the drearier days of revolu tion and repression which followed, ob served a semi-holiday. Little attention was paid to business.- Caucuses of political leaders were held continuously through - out the day, and the common people thronged the quays and squares and the vicinity of Tauride Palace, from which latter place they will be kept at a dis tance during the events of tomorrow. Hour of Ceremony Secret. The hour of the opening ceremonial and tf the arrival of Emperor Nicholas and the members of the imperial family is still kept' secret, but presumably It will be about noon. It will be first an nounced when the guns - of the fortress roar out an imperial salute as the Em peror's yacht drops anchor In the broad teach of the River Neva between the slender-spired fortress of Peter the Great and the great sprawling palace on. the opposite bank. In Pomp and Panoply. The Emperor and the members of the Imperial family will be . brought ashore in 2-oared state barges. After lunching they will be robed . for the formal and splendid pageant of the reception of the National Parliament and the speech from 1 he throne. The Emperor's Ministers, ' courtiers and high military and naval officials, accompanied by the sceptre, crown and other Insignia of state, will march in procession to the great Hall of St. George, where the members of the Assembly and Council of the Empire will await them. After an Imposing religious service has been pelebrated by the primate of the Russian Church. Antonius. Emperor Nicholas will pronounce the address from the throne. That concluded, the choir And orchestra will render the national hymn, "God Save the Czar." The whole ceremony is expected to be over before 3 o'clock. TIH'C'K ORDERED BY RADICALS Will Sot Wave Red Flag at Czar. i Democrats Will Swallow Oath. -' i " ' ST. PETERSBURG, May 9. The dread that some unfortunate event might occur to mar the solemnity of the great occa sion of Russia's new birth was largely dissipated tonight, when members of the radical revolutionary party of St.' Peters burg issued an announcement disclaim ing any intention of attempting demon strations tomorrow, and calling upon their fellows to refrain from displaying ted flags or singing the "Marseillaise" and to avoid all conduct that would tend to bring about a conflict with the police. A terroristic attempt is the only thing that is now to be feared. But the police measures have been so well taken that such a crime is confidently considered impossible. Heavy Guard Around Czar. The participants and accessories to the historic ceremony of the opening of the first representative assembly of Russia have gathered in St. Petersburg, and only Kmperor Nicholas and the imperial fam ily are awaited. They are expected to ar rive in the morning by sea from Peterhof, to which place they were removed from Tsarskoe-Selo today. T-he Empress' per sonal escort of picked Cossacks arrived by a special train. Other trains -brought . mixed bittallon composed of detach ments from all the guard regiments, which are to keep watch over the Em peror's apartments and those of the ladies and gentlemen of the court and high functionaries who are to take part in the reception tomorrow. Another Snub to Witte. The most sensational news of the day was contained in the announcement of the names of the appointive members of the 'ouncli of the Empire, In which list Count Witte is conspicuously absent. No ex planation is obtainable, but the omission of the former Premier's name would seem to Indicate either an open slight on the part of the Emperor or a determination on Count Wine's part to withdraw alto gether from public affairs. In either case there is a complete break in the relations between the monarch and the servitor whose monument is the National Parlia ment. According to the expectations of the Constitutional Democratic leaders the first session of the Parliament will accomplish nothing beyond the election of officers, which, under Russian procedure, will be a long-drawn-out affair. M. Muromstseff is the choice of the party for President. Explain Away the Oath. The vexed question of the propriety of taking an oath to the "Emperor and au tocrat" has been settled by the caucus of , Constitutional Democrats, which accept ed, after a long discussion, the historical argument that the title does not signify "absolute' but owing no allegiance to any other sovereign, and hence is not In compatible with the ideas of the party regarding the constitutional nature of the monarchy. Although the problem of the oath has been thus disposed of. a small body of recalcitrants, mostly Social Revolutionary peasants, elected from the Interior prov inces, has decided as a mark of respect to the Emperor not to attend the recep tion at the Winter Palace, but to join its colleagues first at the Tauride Palace. Other members of the Assembly decline to wear evening dress, which Is the cor rect apparel for the ceremony, but will ap pear in the high boots and colored smocks and national peasant costume. WILL SXEAK IXTO CAPITAL Imperial Family's Route Secret Lest Bombs Spoil Programme. ST. PETERSBURG, May 9. The final preparations for the great ceremony at the Winter Palace on the occasion of the opening of Parliament tomorrow are being completed. Three imperial yachts, which will convey Their Majesties and the members of the Imperial family, the court and the suites to St. Petersburg, are lying with steam up in the river. The route and other plans for the journey are guarded with greatest secrecy, but it Is understood the imperial party will travel tonight by train from Tsarpkoe Selo to the palace at Peterhof. where in the morning it will board the yachts and come up the river, landing at the imperial dock in front of the Winter Pal ace, thus avoiding the necessity of pass ing through the streets of the capita Immediately after the ceremony Their Majesties will return to Peterhof, where they will spend the Summer. Owing to the lateness of the hour when the services at the Winter palace will be completed, it has been decided not to open the Council of the Empire until Friday at 2 o clock in the afternoon. PLOT TO BLOW UP DUKES Paris Pol lee Arrest Russian Dyna miters In Sick of Time. PARIS. May 10. (Special.) The Paris police last night nipped on the eve of execution an - anarchist plot that would have had grave international conse quences had it been carried to comple tion. The conspirators had decided to blow up during the night the Russian Embassy here and to attempt the de struction of the residences of the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Boris. Twelve Russian students are now under arrest and others are sought by the police. Czar to Decide on Trying Officials. ST. PETERSBURG, May 9. The law providing for the reorganiaztion of the Counjii of the Empire was published to day. It contains a provision for the ap pointment of special commissions having exclusive Jurisdiction over certain sub ject. As foreshadowed in the imperial manifesto of March 6. all accusations of malfeasance against Ministers, Viceroys, Governor-Generals, members of the Coun cil of the Empire, the lower House of Parliament, and. In general-, -all persons belonging to the three highest ranks of the Russian hierarchy, are consigned to a commission composed solely of appoint ed members. Accusations, however, must first be submitted to the Emperor, who, If he approves of an investigation, refers It to the commission. In case the latter determine that there is ground for prose cution, a trial will occur before the ruling Senate. Provisions are also .made for special commissions to decide upon private rail road concessions and matters relating to the expropriation of state and crown lands. WANTED IN MANY CITIES SING SING CONVICT HAS SHORT TASTE OF LIBERTY. S"o Sooner Released Than He Is Ar rested for Swindling at As toria and Other Places.' NEW YORK, May 9. (Special.) Free dom seemed assured to Albert L. Brown, alias Louis McDowell, when he was dis charged today from Sing Sing after serv ing a year for grand larceny, but he was rearrested when he reached this city. Brown gained notoriety a few years ago throughout the country by posing as J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.. and MarcuB a. Hanna, Jr., and swindling many persons thereby. His present trouble does not re late to those charges. He is wanted by the police of Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Astoria, Or., for swindling. It has not yet been determined to which city he will be sent. Brown was sentenced to three years in Sing Sing in November, 1903, for swindling Tiffany & Co., of this city, out of a dia mond pin. His criminal career began in Rochester in 1S96, when he was sent to the Monroe County Penitentiary for eight months for petit larceny. In 1901 he was sentenced to three years In the Jefferson City Penitentiary for a swindle in St. Louis, in which he posed as the son of W. J. Lemp, the wealthy brewer. He was taken to Jefferson City on a train, handcuffed to Francis Mathu slk. who had received a 12-year sentence. Near Valley Park both men jumped off the, platform with the train going 30 miles an hour. Brown was recaptured and served his sentence, but Mathusik got away. Sot Wanted at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or., May 9. (Special.) Dep uty District Attorney Abercromble. Sher iff Llnville and Chief of Police Gammal stated this evening that there Is no charge against Albert L. Brown here. They never heard of the man before and know nothing about him. WORKS FOR PHILIPPINES Taft Canvasses Senate on Compro mise Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, May 9. Secretary Taft by a personal canvass of the Senate today endeavored to revive sentiment in favor of Philippine tariff legislation at the present session of Congress. He made arguments in favor of a reduc tion of schedules on sugar, tobacco and rice to 50 per cent of the Dingley rates. The measure left sleeping in the Senate Philippine committee provides for a reduction on these articles to 25 per cent of existing schedules. He was willing to go further and to eliminate the proposition for eventual free trade with the Philippines. Though the Secretary met with much encouragement, he is not yet satisfied that such a measure would meet with success. Moomaw Samcd for Postmaster. WASHINGTON. May 9.

WAVERERS' MINDS MADE UP Time of Publication of Assault on Standard Oil Shows Shrewdness of Roosevelt In Great Game of Politics. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 9. The leading men in Con gress long since awakened to a realiza tion of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt Is about as shrewd a politician as this country has produced. If any doubt ex isted on this point, it was cleared away when the President sent to Congress the report of Commissioner Garfield on the Standard Oil Company and railroads which have been granting rebates to this great trust. The Senate was about to take up' the amendments to the rate bill, the last stage before the final vote: op position to the President ran high; lined up against him were not alone the recog nized "railroad Senators," but Spooner and Knox as well, lawyers of recognized ability, both of them leaders In the legal profession. It was a strong combination, but the President met it with a trump card that he played to win. Backed by Public Sentiment. In his fight for an effective railroad rate bill the President's greatest strength has come from the support that has been given him by public sentiment. The aver age man does not pretend to understand the intricacies of the great railroad prob lem; he knows in a general way what the fight means and he has confidence that the President would not go into such a contest except for an honest purpose. The public is satisfied that the President wants effective rate legislation and it believes that the legislation he advocates will afford the much sought relief. The public has not such confidence, even in Senators Spooner and Knox. No one ac cuses either man of being corrupt or acting from any but honest motives, but these two Senators have lined up with the recognized "railroad Senators," men who are believed to be under railroad in fluence, and unfortunately for Spooner and Knox, they suffer in public esteem because of the company they keep. The public has no confidence in Senator Aid rich; none In Senator Piatt, none in Sen ator Depew and men of that type. To the average man these ''railroad Senators" stand for corruption, and any one who stands with 'them on a question like the railroad rate issue can not escape sus picion. Decided the Waverers. It will never be known how the Senate stood on the rate question before the Garfield report was sent to the Senate. No reliable canvass was ever made that ascertained the standing of every Sen ator; there were partial polls, but they left a controlling number of Senators in doubt, and the public will never know how many votes were Influenced by the star play of the President. That the pub lication of the Garfield report had effect there. can be no question, for it fixed firmly in the minds of the public the idea . that effective rate legislation is needed and it was only natural that the people should pin their faith to Roose velt. Publio sentiment having been cemented. It would be the most natural thing In the world that wavering or un decided Senators should make up their minds to obey the dictates of the people. It would be Interesting to know Just how many votes the President secured when he played his trump card, but that is one of the things that will never reach the public. The whole Incident, however, shows the adroitness of Roosevelt as a fighter. The incident will take precedence over the famous "Perdicaris alive or Raisull dead" message which Secretary Hay sent abroad while the last Republican national con vention was in. session. FLEET HAS ALL STEAM UP Twenty-One Big Warships Will Talk to Sultan. ATHENS, May 9. The British fleet, con sisting of 21 warships, is lying at Piraeus, with steam up. It will be further aug mented today by the arrival of the second cruiser squadron, commanded by Rear-Ad- mlral Prince Louis of Battenberg, which in November last was In American waters. TAKES SHIP FROM USDER GUSS German Ambassador Promptly Foils Arbitrary Turkish Official. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 9. The arbi trary detention of the German sailing ship Odysseus by the Turkish authorities re cently threatened friction between Tur key and another European power, but the energetic action of the German Ambas sador, Baron von Blderstein, quickly solved the difficulty. The Odysseus was discharging her car go at Chibuklu when she was boarded by the authorities and removed to Kavak, where she was anchored beneath the bat teries, the Turks falsely claiming the ves sel had explosives on board. The Ambas sador protested urgently but unavailingly, whereupon he took a few sailors from the German guardshlp Doreley Herr, boarded the Odysseus, hoisted the diplomatic flag and took the ship from under the guns of Kavak to her dock at Chibuklu. where & watch was kept over her while she completed the discharging of her cargo. On returning to the Embassy the Am bassador found a State Councillor await ing with apologies and explanations. (The records available do not refer to a German sailing ship named Odysseus, but there is p. German steamer of that name. WW ood's Sarsaparilla Has cured so many cases that seemed almost beyond the reach of medicine, that people ask, Why? An examination of our well-known formula from which Hood's Sarsaparilla is and always has been carefully and scientifically prepared, confirms the fact that it contains those well-known and valuable medicinal ingredients, which, when : intelligently combined and properly administered, are sure to bring about good results. It is the properly balanced proportion, combination and process in combining those ingredients known to have specific action upon the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, which make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar to itself and enable it to produce results unequaled by any similar medicine. It cures when others fail. Give it a trial. Usual form, liquid, or new form, tablets, 100 Doses One Dollar. Some Fine Piano Snaps in Used Pianos C. A. Stone, very nice $60 Jas. A.

BREAKS TREATY WITH BRITAIN Action of China Denounced, but John Bull May 'ot Protest. liONDON, May 9. The customs ap pointments of the Chinese Government are regarded here as a violation of the agreement of February 1898, between Great Britain and China. Among other concessions China agreed that the post of Inspector of Customs should be held hy a British subject so long as British trade with China continues to exceed that of any other power. The point, however, is somewhat doubtful, as It Is not clear from the edict whether Sir Robert Hart is actually to be superseded or not. The edict is commented upon as an other significant indication of China's determination to throw off Western tutelage. The Morning Post, in an editorial arti cle on the possibility of the next gener ation's finding China one of the great powers, as Japan already has become, thinks it quite likely that when China becomes powerful enough to shut the door against foreigners. If she wishes to do so, she will not exercise the power and that, when the foreigner is no longer feared, he will cease to be hated. Chinese Pay $60,000 for Riot. HONGKONG, May 9.
