In rhs way he expects to please those who advise Independence, and also those h fa-ver regularity. Recount of 3Iayoralty Vote. After sevoral weeks of backing and fill nc ta the Legislature, the Republican leaders have practically decided to pass h rocouat bill, which will open all the ballot-boxes in Now York City. This Rtoiasttre lias beon in committee since the rtm day of session, and the original in tention was that it should never be re ported out. Assembly district leaders, both Republican and Democratic, have wade a careful canvass of the situation, and xtosftlvoly declare that a recount will nt change the result. "We did our crooked work with re lators. frankly admitted one Tammany dekn district captain. "The votes that w-m into the box were counted all right. IV c didn't have a chance to do anything tec. with Republicans. Hearst watchers, Jerome watchers and Deputy Supcrintend- nts of Election standing around. Tho count Is all right, and Hearst knows that as weH as anybody else." Tho Republicans aro convinced It would b bad political policy to loave Hearst In th position of a martyr. If he is shown in to have been-elected, it will weaken hltw considerably. "And anyhow, what have we pot to lose b itT remarked a member of the Re publican County Committee. "Jf McClel lan Is shown to be legally elected. It will hurt Hearst with his followers. That will be a mighty good thing. On the other baud, if Hearst has a majority. It will stir thing up here and drive all the Me ridian Democrats over to us. Either way. I believe we will be gainers, but I believe we will show that Hearst's claims are poorly founded, and thereby damage him politically to a great extent." "cv Man From Buffalo. The Democrat whose jrubernatorial boom scorns to be the strongest at the present day is Mayor John C. Adam, of Buffalo, who. like Grover Cleveland 25 rs ago. has turned the Lake City up side down by Instituting all sorts of re forms. Mayor Adam was swept Into office on a reform w'ave. the city normally being heavily Republican. He is wealthy, and before he retired from business had been proprietor of a large department store. Ho took department-store methods to tho CUty Hall, to quote one of tho "gang." He has appointed men of all parties to office, and declares that the -only way any place-holder can hold on is by doing his duty satisfactorily. One big Demo crat, who held a $2500 job. was "fired" with ifreat violence. A delegation of prominent politicians hurried to the City Hall to protest. "Do you realise. Mr. Mayor." said their spokesman, "that Mr. (the dis- charged official) absolutely controls his ward?" Yeu may be right." said the Mayor, The Cream Off the Pan Of Spring's Freshest, Newest Style Creations Will go to those who have learned ty experience that" early-in-tho-se&son shopping is the hest.

MAKE TRUST RESPECT LAW Hadley AVill Appeal to the Supreme Court Against Standard. NEW YORK. March 2S. With the Stand ard oil hearing, eo far as New York Is concerned, closed, Attorney-General Had ley, of Missouri, started for home last night with his assistant. Rush C. Lake, and Frank Hagerman. the Standard Oil lawyer from SL Louis. Alfred D. Eddy, the Western counsel of tne Standard Oil, left for Chicago. "I have made my case," said Mr. Had ley. Just before leaving. "I consider that I have proved every allegation contained in the Information I filed. When the case ls argued, I will ask the Supreme Court of Missouri to "render a decision which will punish Standard Oil for Its violation of the laws of Missouri in the past, and Impose conditions which will guarantee that corporation's compliance with the law's requirements in the future." Mr. Hagerman, before taking his train said: "My friend Hadley has given Missouri cause to be proud. I feel highly honored when I Introduce him to a stranger as tho Missouri Attorney-General, and I be lieve that there Is a great future in store for him. It would bo mighty good poll tics for any President to name him Attorney-General of the United States." Mr. Hagerman was not minded to dis cuss the probable effects of the disclosures which have attended the Inquiry. He said that the corporation would have evidence to put on the records In its own behalf, and that of the witnesses who have al ready testified several will probably be re called. "There Is no reason for attempting to muddle the situation," he said. "We shall make little effort to dispute the facts es tablished by Mr. Hadley. Our aim will be to show that, while the conditions shown by him exist, there has bren no violation of the law. Our battle will be strictly along legal lines." Two Days More for Petitions. SALEM, Or..

SHIP0FF TURNS RADICAL Declares latest Manifesto leaves Parliament at Mercy or Czar. Peasants' Only Idea Js Possession of Land. ST. PETERSBURG. March 2S.-Dmltrl Shipoff, of Moscow, who Is generally rec ognized as one of the most rational of the Liberal leaders, takes anything but an optimistic view of the future of the Empire. M. Shipoff took a middle po sition after the manifesto of October 30, seceding at that time from the Radical constitutional wing of the Zemstvolsts. on the ground that the people must be trradually prepared for self-government. He regarded tho promises of the manifes to as sufficient for the prcsenL Now, however. M. Shipoff believes that the Government is showing bad faith. In the course of an interview today, he severely condemned the manifesto of March 6, saying that it did not make of the Council of Empire a second cham ber of the National Parliament, but In terposed between the monarch and the people the same old bureaucratic barrier, robbing the people's branch of the Par liament of rights which it Is .supposed to have and not realizing the promise of a responsible ministry, leaving the Parlia ment at the mercy of the government, through the sovereign's power of proro gation. He predicted that the struggle be tween the government and tho people, whllo having been long in unfolding, was far from being ended. Ho saw only strife ahead when the parliament meets. Only a Parliament elected on the basis of uni versal suffrage, M. Shipoff declares, will satisfy the people's land demands. M. Shipoff bemoans the lack of moral conscientiousness and sense of responsi bility to a high principle among the Russian people as a whole, but says that this ls only the natural result of long oppression by the bureaucracy. He says that It Is already apparent from the progress of the elections that the peasants are possessed of a single idea, the getting of land, and that to gether with tho Fmall land-owning class they are combining against the big land owners. In a large number of the prov inces, M. Shipoff says, this combination will be able to elect members of the Parliament with their undeveloped polit ical ideas. As a result, the Parliament will become a tower of Babel. DUE TO OPERATOR'S BLUNDER Russian Merchant Explains Origin or Vladivostok Riot. VICTORIA, B. C March 35. The steamer Trcmont. which arrived this morning frtJtn Manila and the Orient, brought among her passengers Captain Schoenwendt, representing the owners of the wrecked steamer Mariechen, he hav ing come from Vladivostok to go to the wreck In Alaskan waters. Captain Schoenwendt says .the recent outbreak among the -Russian troops at Vladivostok was . due to a blunder In transmitting an order from St. Peters burg. The order was that the men were to be returned gradually, all being home within eight montlis. As transmitted, the order read that the troops would be re turned after eight more months service. This caused murmuring, and after the looting of some drlnklng-houses. rebellion resulted. Houses were looted and set on fire and the greater part of Vladivostok was In flames. Captain Schoenwendt says there was no indiscriminate slaughter of mon, women and children, as was reported. About 700 or SCO were killed when reflat ing the Cossacks brought to Vladivostok to quell the rebellion. The funeral of the soldiers killed by machine gun at the commandant's house was attended by thousands of soldiers, sailors and civil ians, carrying red flags and singing revo lutionary songs. The coffins were covered with wreaths reading "To the Memory of the Martyrs and Shame of Their Assassins." Peasants Have Large Majority. ST. PETERSBURG, March 28. The Province of.Koslroma, European Rus sia, is the first to have completed its elections to the Provincial Congress. Forty-six peasants. 19 noblemen, 18 merchant?, six professional men and three priests were returned. The pre ponderance of peasants Is significant, considering that they were only en titled to elect 29 delegates, while the landowners had 35, the cities 2S and the workmen seven delegates. The results show that the small land owners, who in reality are only peas ants of the more prosperous clays, holding their property In severalty, stood together against the big land lords and chose exclusively peasants. The peasant electors are not classr fled and have but one plank in their platform, namely, the distribution of land. The others are divided. Thirty four per cent of them arc Conserva tive and IS per cent Constitutional Democrats. Peasants Strike on Estate. POLTAVA. Russia. March 2S. The peasants on the Bouromka estate, belong ing to Prince Cantacuzene (mother of. Prince Cantacuzene. who married MIs Grant, daughter of Brigadier-General F. D'. Grant. U. S. A.) have refused to plow the land, and have driven away the em ployes of the estate. Further trouble Is feared, and Cossacks have been dis patched to the scene of the'dlsturbance. Elections Boycotted In Warsaw. WARSAW. March 2$. The factories were to have elected delegates to the electoral convention today, but the elec tion was a complete failure. Of the 1H factories In Warsaw, only four elected delegates, the workmen being opposed to the National ParllamenL They are an gered owing to the appearance at the factories of the troops sent there to pre vent disturbances. Robbery Rampant in Odessa. t ODESSA. March 23. Attempts to rob business and private houses occur here dally. Today ten anarchists rushed into a wholesale grocery store and demanded 71000. threatening the clerks with bombs if they refused. A duel with revolvers followed, during which two anarchists were killed. The authorities have taken extraordinary precautions to protect prop erty. Rebel Students Dismissed. BRIANS K. Russia, March 2S. The au thorities of the technical school here have dismissed the students of the four highest classes on account of revolutionary senti ments. V1LNA. Lithuania. Russia. March 2S. On account of revolutionary trouble among the students the chemical and technical schools here have been closed. PLACES THE BLAME Humphrey Says Uncle Sam Caused Valencia Wreck. TRAGEDY OF KIDNAPED BOY Being Brought Home by Govern ment, James Wright Perished on Boat Humphrey Refuses Money -for Expenses. WASHINGTON. March 2S. Failure of the United States to provide more lights and additional llfesaving crews along the Pacific coast Is responsible. In the opin ion of Representative Humphrey, of Washington, for the death of 15-year-old James Wright on the Ill-fated Valencia. He has returned to the dead boy's sister $43.34. which she sent to reimburse the State Department for Its efforts to send the boy back to his mother and sinter. The boy was kidnaped by a British sailing vessel at Port Townsend. Wush.. and taken to Australia. He escaped from his kidnapers there and sailed on a ship which carried him to Callao, Peru, where he stranded, but was finally agisted through the Intervention of the State De partment, and worked his passage to Panama. He then sailed for San Fran cisco, where he boarded 'the Valencia, which sank when the boy was about to be reunited with his family In Wash ington. His sister. Miss Ethel Wright, ascer tained the amount the State Department had spent In assisting him, and sent a 'Check to Mr. Humphrey. He returned the check to the young woman today, and advised Assistant Secretary of State Ba con that the Government's neglect in not protecting Pacific Coast shipping is re sponsible for the grief of young Wright's widowed mother and sister, but that, if the department Insists on accepting tho monoy, he will bear the expense and not allow It to fall on the family of the vic tim of the Valencia disaster. SHERRICK IS SENTENCED Indiana's Thieving Auditor Goes to State Prison. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. March 2$. Spe cial Judge J. E. McCulloch today handed down his decision denying a new trial and sentenced David E. Shcrrick, ex Audltor of the State, convicted of .em bezzling $12,000 of state funds, to serve from two to '21 years in the State Prison at Michigan City.
