THE SUNDAY OREGOSTAN, PORTLAND. MAT 20, 1906. E Awaits Issue of Douma's Con flict With Czar. MONARCH PLAYS FOR TIME Grant Partial Amnesty and Regard Other Demands as Merely Ex pression of Opinion Pays "Honor to Mouromtseff. ST. PETERSBURG, May 19. The week closes with suspense over what the next few days will bring forth, but It already is certain that Emperor Nicholas and the government do not regard the address of the lower house. In reply to the speech from the throne, as an ultimatum beyond the demand for amnesty, which the Em peror will seek to satisfy. Partial pardon for political offenders will be granted, and the other demands of the address will be considered declarations of opinion upon which the Emperor is not called to pass until they find expression by legisla tive enactment. Mouromtseff Guest of Honor. The trip of President Mouromtseff, of the lower house, to Peterhof today, as had been anticipated, was productive of no changes In the situation. Though the leader of the house received the utmost consideration and was signaled out by the Emperor for special attentions, the subject of the address was, by tacit un derstanding, avoided. Members of the Cabinet who attended the gala luncheon, though greeting M. Mouromtseff with the fullest cordiality, also refrained from re ferring to politics. Highest Place at Feast. As far as the rules of precedence per mitted, M. Mouromtseff was the guest of honor. On the arrival of the special train with the members of the Cabinet, M. Mouromtseff was seated In the first car riage, he was ushered to the front place during the "Te Deum" in the chapel, and at the luncheon was seated between Min ister of War Rudiger and Minister of Finance Kokovsoff, and near the Em peror, who addressed much of his con versation to him. The date of President Mouromt.seff's audience of the Emperor to present the address baa not been de termined. Not Yield, but Avoid Conflict. The government certainly does not In tend to yield to the demands of Parlia ment, but the desire to avoid a conflict is becoming Increasingly evident. It seems to be the policy of the government, while conceding the minimum demands, to compel Parliament by pacific assur ances to assume responsibility for a fresh hostile Initiative. ' CZAIt BETWEEN TWO FIRES Must Fight People or Aristocracy, and Lose Either Way. PARIS. May 19. (Special.) Great activ ity among Russian revolutionists who have, established quarters here is believed to indicate that a coup Is to be attempted in Russia within a short time. In fact, the leading Russian "Reds" do not con ceal their satisfaction over the defying of the (r by the Douraa. They declare . that His Majesty has been placed in such a position that, no matter how anxious he may be to compromise, he will be com pelled to exercise his prerogative and dis solve the Pouma if he is to retain any of his absolute rights." The Russian refugees here declare that, if this action Is taken, the result must be a spontaneous revolu tion which will Involve all of Russia. Speaking of this, one of the leaders said: The action of the Douma in forcing an isaue with the Czar Is but the fruition of a plot of long standing by the Intellectuals and their friends, the leaders of the peas ant. It was understood at the time elec tions for members of the Douma were held that, if the constitutional Democrats were successful at the polls, they would raise an Issue that would at once clearly define the great difference that exists between the offi cial classes and the people. This they have done. The t'zar is being fought along con stitutional lines and. If he Is to respect his crown, he must dissolve the Douma. If he does so, then the peasants will .rise and we will furnish them with funds to arm and take the field. If he tamely bows to the will of the peasants he will forever estrange the upper classes and they can be depended on to make much trouble so much trouble that Nicholas will be oompelled to abdicate. Between the two elements the chances for a change of government In Russia were never brighter. !NO AMNESTY, ONLY PROTESTS Trepoff Has Stirred Up Black Hun dred Against Parliament. ST. PETERSBURG. May 19.-A1-though it was already certain last night that the partial amnesty decree with which it was thought a few days ago the Emperor would signalize his birthday would not be promulgated today, nevertheless its failure to ap pear caused popular disappointment and misgivings. This was more pro nounced as the Official Messenger con tained thia morning, side by side with the usual batch of promotions and decorations issued on such occasions, two columns of protests from reac tionary organizations, inspired by Ciencrai Trepoff s secret circular to the governors, instructing them to have the "Black Hundred" organizations im mediately dispatch to the Emperor protests against amnesty, the abolition of death penalty and concessions to Parliament. President Mouromtseff was present at the gala luncheon at the Alexandria Palace at Peterhof today in honor of his Majesty's birthday, but he cannot present the address In reply to the speech from the throne except at an audience formally granted for that purpose. It is hardly possible, how ever, that he can avoid an informal discussion of the situation with mem bers of the court. fr-KII.L OF LEADERS ASTONISHES Popular Leaders in Parliament Sin gled Oul Czar Heard Debate. UNrX)N. May 13. (Special.) Europe Is astounded by the skill with which the newly created Russian legislators have addressed themselves to the most stu pendous task that ever has confronted a Parliament. So far from proving to be a nub of ignorant and disorderly Inter lopers, the representatives turn out to he men capable of holding their own In debate and constructive work of the Pouma with the "intellectuals." Sev eral have impressed non-Russian onlook ers as mon of exceptional talents. Nazarenko. who demanded a continu ation of the debate on the address throughout the night, is a fiery orator with a wide command of language and the gesticulation of a trained speaker. KlstalefT of Penza, who made the strong est appeal for a one-chamber Legislature. Is a debater of great force. Maxim Kova levsky. the free lance of the Douma. will pear watching. Many of hie kinsmen RUSSIA IN SUSPENS have perished and are exiles in Siberian mines. He is of the stuff of which the French revolutionists were made. When It Is borne in mind that such "in tellectuals" as Professor Kusmin-Kara-vieff. an authority on military law, and Professor Stchepkin are more than half inclined to cast their lot with the Social Democrats In forming a party of the ex treme left, committed t othe most dras tic enforcement of the wishes of an over whelming majority, it is impossible to doubt that the bills to be Introduced will strike heavy blows at the structure of autocracy. It is said the Czar has listened to the discussions over the telephone. This re? port not only did not deter the peasant representatives from speaking their full minds, but, as a St. Petersburg corre spondent suggests, seemed to provoke them to more specific declarations. Bureaucracy is aghast at the-defiant tone of the Douma's controlling group. Even V.'ltte is perplexed. He told his friends on the eve of the assembling of Parliament that "they never can survive the sight of the little father in his robes of state." No repression could stamp out the mor al effect of this week's deliberations at the Tauride Palace. Nicholas is anxious to compromise, but the Douma. discover ing its virtual solidarity, is hot to be placated with half-way measures. Witte looks on gloomily, perhaps expectantly. The stories about his failing health are contradicted by his appearance and his energy in the Council of the Empire. He may yet be the buttress of the autoc racy. Autos for Use In Revolution. ST. PETERSBURG. May 19. The po lice, according to the Nasha Shisn, have discovered that the revolutionists have imported over a score of automobiles Into St. Petersburg for use in a mes senger service in case of an uprising. In the meantime, it is added, the motor-cars have been transferred to In dividuals, who will hold them until they are needed by the revolutionists. Peasants Burn Out Landlords. SARATOFF. May 19. The peasants throughout this province are greatly excited, and seem to be organizing a general agrarian movement. In the district of Atkarsk several landlords have been burned out, and Cossacks have been dispatched to restore order. Must Die for Killing Police. RIGA, Livonia, Russia, May 19. A court-martial here today sentenced eight workmen to death for the mur der of three policemen. ii EXISTS ONLY TO GIVE REBATES TO SHIPPERS, Prosecutor Quarles Charges Commis sions to Fabst Brewing Company Were Illegal Rebates. CHICAGO, May 19. Arguments in the proceedings brougiht by the United States Government against the Milwau kee Refrigerator Transit Company, and a number of railroad companies under the Elklns anti-rebate law, were taken up today before Judges Grosscup, Kohlsaat, Seaman and Baker, setting en banc in the United States Circuit Court. The proceedings were originally brought in Milwaukee, but were trans ferred to Chicago under the guidance of Charles Quarles, special counsel for the United States. The defendants to the suit other than the refrigerator company are the Pere Marquaette Railroad Company, Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Company, St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company, Wisconsin Central Company, Chicago & Alton Railroad Company and the Pabst Brewing Com pany. Attorneys representing the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Com pany asked that in their decision the Judges embody no provision whereby railroad companies will be prohibited from paying commissions to persons who in good faith secure busienss for the railroads. Mr. Quarles in his argument desig nated the refrigerator company as a "phantom company." He told the court of a contract between the "phantom corporation and the Pabst Brewing Company, by which the refrigerator concern was given the exclusive right to control and route all shipments of the brewery for no consideration. From March, 1904, the court was told, the Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit Com pany "exacted" from the railroads, in addition to full compensation for use of the cars, J66.000 in "so-called" com missions. This meant. Mr. Quarles con tended, that the product of the de fendant brewery was transported by the railroads at the rate of every eighth car free. To the defense advanced by the rail roads that the $66,000 was paid by them as commissions, the Government's lawyer asserted that the companies al ready controlled alt the shipments of the Pabst Brewing Company. "The question is," said Mr. Quarles, "is the payment of these so-called com missions an evasion of the intent of the anti-rebate law?" The case was taken under advise ment by the Judges. BIGGEST STEAMER AFLOAT Kaiserin Victoria Finishes First Run Across Ocean. SEW YORK. May 19.

Dover and Bou logne. She brought 490 saloon and 1706 steerage passengers. The Kaiserin Au guste Victoria made an average speed of 17 knots during the voyage. The story printed In the United States thai there had been a serious race riot on the decks of the new steamer between members of the crew just prior to sailing from Hamburg was denied by the officers.

ROME, May 19. When Dr. Lapponi vis. !ted the Pope this morning he found his patient Improved, .although the pontiff passed a somewhat restless night as the result of his attack of gout. Owing to slight rise in temperature. Dr. Lapponi ordered the Pope to remain In bed for several days. Although the condition of the pope Is not grave, some apprehension is felt at the frequency of the gout attacks through exposure to cold, disordered digestion and fatigue The present attack seems to have had its origin through the pope's walking to St- Peter's last Sunday for the beatifi cation of Julie Bllllart. Returning to his apartments from St, Peter's. His Holiness was quite warm, and in passing through the thickly-walled Vatican courtyards, where the atmosphere is damp, he refused to put on his cloak. When the first symp toms of the trouble appeared, he refused to rest and take proper care of himself and insisted on giving long and fatiguing audiences to all the dignitaries of the Dominican order. The gout, which previously had only at tacked his foot, has now reached the pope's left knee, which is considerably swollen and gives him acute pain. Considerable- Inflammation Is present. The temperature of His Holiness today was 99. Dr. Lapponi visited his patient again this evening. DOCTOR STAYS ALL. NIGHT Circumstance Alarms Papal Court. Sisters as Pope's Nurses. ROME. May 19. (Special.) Dr. Lapponi Is spending the night at the Vatican, in readiness to meet any call that might come from the sickroom of Pope Plus. This fact alone has caused great appre hension among members of the pontifical entourage. There is no doubt but that the condition of the pope Is more serious than officials will admit. During the few years that His Holiness has been confined to the Vatican the natural weakness of his heart, which has more or less trou bled him for years, has grown steadily worse. Overwork, close confinement and lack of exercise have undermined his health. The two aged sisters of the pontiff, on hearing of his illness, hastened to the Vatican and insisted on being allowed to nurse him. The greatest fear of mem bers of the Pope's family, as well as the church officials, is that his old heart trou ble may turn into angina pectoris. OPEX GREAT SIMPLON' TUNXEIj Italian King and Swiss President Hold Joint Celebration.' DOMODOSSOLA, Italy. May 19. The BImplon Tunnel was inaugurated here to day by King Victor Emmanuel, who leTt here at 10:65 A. M. for Briqu'e. on the Swiss side of the mountain. The royal train passed through the 12 miles of tun nel drawn by a steam engine, the electric motors not being ready. On reaching the middle of the tunnel, at a height of 2200 feet above the sea level, the King was heard to exclaim: "It ts a Cycloplc work, the result of half a century of study, seven years of work, and the expenditure of nearly $15,000,000." At Brique the King, who was accompa nied by Premier Sonnino, the Minister of Public Works, and a large number of other officials, was received by the Presi dent of the Swiss Republic and the mem bers of the Federal Council, the National Council, and the Council of State, and other officials to the number of about 500. In the speeches which followed the meet ing of the King and the President, much satisfaction was expressed at the opening of the tunnel, which was completed, as far as piercing the mountain was con cerned, last February. President Forrer gave a magnificent luncheon in honor of King Victor Em manuel, at which covers for 65 were laid. Toasts were drunk by the King and the president expressive of their great satis faction at the completion of the work, from which It was hoped would come prosperity and a further strengthening of the bonds between the opuntries. - WOMEN DEMAND SUFFRAGE Call on British Premier and Hiss When Told to Wait. LONDON, May 19. Escorted by 40 mem bers of Parliament, nearly 400 women suffragists, representing organizations from all parts of the country, interviewed Premier Campbell-Bannerman at the For eign Office today, and presented their claims that women be allowed to vote. Only eight members of the numerous dep utations were allowed to speak, and in accordance with a previous arrangement, each speaker was limited to five minutes. But in the aggregate of 40 minutes the Premier heard about all there was to hear in favor of woman suffrage. The Immediate granting of the women's rights was the unanimous demand of the speakers, some of whom presented to the Premier their "minimum demands," claiming that immediate legislation be stowing on women the right to vote was necessary, and declaring that a promise to take the matter up at the next session of Parliament would not satisfy them. One speaker menacingly declared that the women were prepared to sacrifice their lives in behalf of their demands. The Premier smiled upon the strangely assorted gathering of .women, including, as It did, ladies of title side by side with factory employes, and said he sympathized with the object of the deputation, but asked his visitors to be patient until the government became more united in favor of the extension of the franchise to women. The- cause, he added, had made enor mous strides of late years. Personally, he believed that women were as well A Bad Stomach Lessens the usefulness and mars the hap piness of life. It's a weak stomach, a stomach that can not properly perform its functions. Among Its symptoms are distress after eating, nausea between meals, heartburn, belching, vomiting, flatulence and nervous headache. Hood'sSarsaparilla Cures a bad stomach. Indigestion and dys pepsia, and the cure is permanent. Accept no substitute. GO TEA M POP qualified as men, and perhaps better, to exercise the right to vote, and in his opinion the deputation had made out a conclusive and irrefutable case. Speaking for others, however, as well as himself, the Premier pointed out that it was necessary to preach the virtue of patience. Only harm would result, if, because of his own sympathies and con victions, he gave a pledge regarding the time and method of achieving the object they had In view. No party or govern ment was entirely united on the subject. He warned the women against Indiscreet action, which, he said, probably would check the flowing tide, and advised them to leave the matter confidently to the growing strength of their cause. The Premier concluded with saying that he believed it would not be many years before the desired change was brought about. This reference to "years" was met with hissing from the members of the deputation, who left the Foreign Of fice evidently greatly dissatisfied. The arrival of the deputation at the Foreign Office was preceded by a street demonstration, contingents of women from various localities marching with banners flying and bands playing to the Victoria Embankment, whence accompa nied by an interested crowd of onlookers, the women marched to the Foreign Office. A monster meeting on Trafalgar Square closed the day's proceedings. The suffragists made fiery speeches, threatening to secure their rights by ngnting, "and go to prison if neces sary," shouted a woman from the base of Nelson's column. GERMAN HAWKSHAW TRAPPED Gives Passport to Russian Rebel Who Pretends to Spy. BERLIN. May 19. (Special.) Social Democrats are gloating over a trap laid for the Kaiser's keenest political agent and their most hated enemy. Captain Schoene. the Berlin Police Commissioner, whose methods in connection with the expulsion of Russians from Germany were recently aired In the Reichstag. Captain Schoene offered an "immunity bath" to a rich Russian refugee by al lowing him to remain in Berlin on condi tion that he would spy on his country men hiding here. The merchant acqui esced and received a police passport made out in a false name. It now develops that it was the secret service branch of the Socialist organization that led Captain Schoene to believe that the merchant wa? available for police purposes. The incident unquestionably has played into the hands of the fighting and re sourceful German revolutionists. POWERS UNITE IN PROTEST All Object to Change in Control of Chinese Customs. PEKIN, May 19. At a meeting of the representatives of the foreign pow ers here today it was announced that all governments would support the British protest against the changes in the Chinese customs service. Carnegie, the British Charge d'Affairs, has ad dressed a second note on the subject to the Foreign Office, the latter's reply to his first note not being considered sat isfactory. Further steps are withheld pending China's response. , Rides Upstairs on Horseback. HANOVER, Prussia, May 19. It be came known yesterday that a re markable Incident occurred at the dinner given May 16 by the officers' corps to Lieutenant-General von Mltz laff, the retiring chief of .the army riding school. Toward the end of the dinner, which took place On the sec ond floor of the officers' casino. Von Mitzlaff slipped out of the building, and soon afterward reappeared In the djlnlng-room mounted on his favorite cviarger and accompanied by a pack of hounds, and made his final dis course on horsemanship from the sad dle. Then, with a huntsman's "halloo" to the hounds, which scampered away, the general rode downstairs after thera and reached the courtyard without a mis hap. Koch Studies Sleeping Sickness. BERLIN, May 19. Professor Koch, who returned to equatorial Africa in March in order to continue the stduy of tropical diseases, has written to the Berlin Medi cal Society saying that he has become so Interested in his further researches espe cially in connection with the "sleeping sickness," that he will not return to Ger many for two years, and therfore has resigned the presidency of the society. Sonnino Downed by Grafters. ROME, May 19. (Special.) The over throw of the Sonnino Cabinet, although expected, is deplored. It is considered inopportune, owing to the opening of the Simplon Tunnel today. It Is thought un justified because Premier Sonnino made some radical and beneficial reforms and discouraged favoritism and jobbery. It is hoped that the King will not accept the resignation - of the Ministers, or that he will cause a general election. Calabria Fears Another Shock. ROME, May 19. (Special.) Renewed alarm is felt throughout Calabria, espe cially in the Catapearo district, on ac count of the recurrence of earthquake shocks In conjunction with the recent ac tivity of the volcano Stromboli. An erup tion of this volcano is usually the pre cursor of serious seismic disturbances. More Warships and More Taxes. BERLIN. May 19.

BRITAIN HEADS PROTESTS Sultan Will Submit on Corporation Law Germany Refuses to Join In Demand on China Brit ain Holds Wei Hal Wei. LONDON, May 19. Great Britain's world-wide interests prevent the pos sibility of the diplomats ever being with out a problem to solve. Turkey, undis mayed by her failure to secure a slice of Egypt, has raised another question in which not only Great Britain, but all the powers trading with Turkey, are interest ed. The Sultan, without reference to the Embassies1, issued during the week an irade dealing with foreign joint stock companies doing business in Constanti nople and the Embassies were empowered to Issue a joint note to the Turkish gov ernment. It is expected that the Sultan, as usual, will submit. Calling China to Terms. A more delicate question, and one which affects1 Great Britain more directly, is the change in the Chinese customs adminis tration, with reference to which China has been asked for an explanation, which has not been given satisfactorily. The Foreign Office does not fear that the change will have a bad effect during the life of Sir Robert Hart, Director of the Chinese Customs, but it is claimed that, if allowed to pass without China's as surance that it shall not impair the cus toms revenues or Interfere with the for eign management of the service, which is the only security which the foreign bond holders have, it would leave China an opening to make the customs administra tion purely Chinese upon the retirement or death of Sir Robert. , ' Germany Stands Aside. According to the last of the dispatches received by the Foreign Office, Great Britain in asking China for an explana tion was supported by all the powers, with the exception of Germany. A press dispatch, however. Intimates that the German Charge d'Affaires attended to day's meeting at Pekin. and supported Great Britain and the other powers. The Foreign Office says that, while Germany did not support Great Britain.' it is in correct to say that she supported China. Her representative simply stood aside, taking no part in the discussion. Even' without the eupport of Germany, the Foreign Office hopes for a successful out come, as China cannot afford to antag onize the bondholders, as she is likely to need money to carry out the reforms con templated In her army, navy and other departments of the government. Will Hold Onto AVel Hal Wei. In connection with the -Chinese affairs j the frequently repeated assertion that Greaf Britain is about to evacuate Wei Hai Wei, Province of Shantung, has again cropped out. However possible thia was before the Russo-Japanese war, it is now impossible, Japan having expressed a de sire that Great Britain hold that port in the interest of her ally. Therefore, it was asserted at the Foreign Office, any idea thaf Great Britain may have had of returning Wei Hai Wei to China is dis sipated. No Agreement With Russia Yet. Starting in Berlin, a report has finally reached London papers that an agree ment has been practically arrived at me tween Great Britain and Russia, dispos ing of the questions affecting Persia, Thibet and Afghanistan, which had long caused fricfion between the two powers. It is true that the desirability of such an agreement is becoming popular at the Chancellories, and that the efforts to bring it about have not been relaxed, but It is premature to say that it has nearly been consummated. The Foreign Office says the negotiations have not been for mally opened and that they stand exact ly as they did about a month ago.
