HEW5.IH -SILEHGE
Spit on Ground as a Sign of
Deepest Contempt at the .
Czar's Action.
SOLDIERS GUARD PALACE
Country Howerer, Is Free From
Disturbances Seven Deputies
Elude Officers and Are On
Way to the Frontier.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. The
dissolution of the second douma was
received throughout St. Petersburg
with perfect tranquility, thanks to. the
precautionary measures, and in no
place In Russia, so far as known, were
there any serious disturbances.
Demonstrations among: St. Peters
burg; workmen are anticipated tomor
row, but the authorities are - not
alarmed. They profess to be chiefly
apprehensive over the possibility of
riotlna; 'and racial excesses in Odessa
and in Kiev and other cities where
party feeling- runs high. An outbreak
of agrarian disorders in several
regions of the empire is anticipated
later, when the peasantry learn of the
dissolution, but -a spirit of quiet con
fidence in the ability of the govern
ment to handle the situation prevails
in administrative circles.
News of the dissolution reached the
St. Petersburg papers too late for their
last edUlons, but the public was quick
ly informed through extras and great
posters eel out by .he police at all
street corners, containing the ukase
announcing the dissolution and the Im
perial manifesto.
I.lttlo knots of readers clustered
around these the whole day attentive
ly perusing the manifesto, the phras
ing of which was calculated to appeal
to the patriotism of the lower classes.
Little enthusiasm or excitement, how
ever, was evoked, and many of the
readers, as they turned away, spat
silently on the ground as a sign of
their deepest contempt.
Strong Guard of Soldiers.
Though General Dracheflsky, prefect of
police, was nominally in charge, the pro
visions for public safety were virtually
In the hands of General Hazenkampf,
aide to Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholate
vltch, who returned from Krasnoye-Sclo
to assume command of the combined gar
rison. Including the guard corps, the
17th infantry division,, a large force of
cavalry and Cossacks and several ma
chine gun detachments. The military
was chiefly disposed in the industrial sec
tion, but a strong force occupied the
Tauride palace vicinity.
A portion of the Turarkusyk regiment
garrisoned the palace, while squads of
cuirassiers were stationed in the court
yards of adjoining buildings. Nobody,
not even Douma officials were allowed to
enter the precincts of the palace. A
laconic notice, was posted on the gates
announcing that former deputies would
receive their papers upon application, to
the chancellory. Reports were in circu
lation during the day that the workmen
were planning a great demonstration, but
they did not appear.
The officer in command of the troops
informed the Associated Press that the
orders were to disperse crowds without
parley, and not to spare bullets In case
of necessity.
During the night nine of the 18 social
Democratic leaders specifically named In
the government indictment. Including
Prince Tzertzereteli and M. Dzhaparidge,
were taken into custody. The other
seven succeeded in eluding the elaborate
provisions made for their arrest. Two
secret service officers with signed war
rants had been assigned to follow the
deputies and to serve them. They were
Instructed to follow their men to the
frontier, if necessary, but the deputies
succeeded In making their escape. Among
those who have not yet been arrested
are M. Osel. the report of whose capture
was unfounded, and M. Alexlnsky, who
baa not returned to Russia.
Democrats Frame Address.
The constitutional Democratic deputies
today held a caucus and appointed a com
mittee to draft an address to their con
stituents, setting forth the work accomp
lished by the douma, emphasizing their
Jevotlon to their parliamentary labors
throughout the session and criticising the
radicals for their failure to co-operate.
In this address they will attempt to
throw the entire blame for the dissolu
tion on the government, but It will In
no wise correspond In tone with the VI
borg address an error which the Con
stitutional Democrats have no intention
of repeating.
There was much talk of declaring a
boycott on the new elections to the Dou
ma, but no action was taken. The new
election law is regarded as a masterly
piece of work. avowKily designed to re
duce to a minimum the repetition on
the register of those classes of the pop
ulation In which hostility to tha govern
ment has been chiefly evident. It arbi
trarily reduces the deputations from the
four Eastern provinces. Viatka, Perm,
Ufa and Orenburg, and the Siberian
provinces to Belsk. Tomsky. Ukutsk and
Yeniseisk, which returned Radical Depu
ties to the preceding Douma from 54 to
40. This decreases the Polish contingent
from 38 to 12. the Caucasians from 19 to
10, of which only seven represent indlgl
nous races, and completely disenfran
chised, until further orders, the Radical
population of several districts in Central
Asia. On the other hand. It selects Pskov,
Kiev City and other constituencies re
turning Conservatives in the last .election
for an Increase, and provides for special
representation of the Conservative Rus
sian population of Vilna and Kovna prov
inces on the Polish frontier. As a re
sult of these various changes the new
Douma numbers 442 Instead of 524. Of 14
towns formerly electing representatives
directly to the Douma, only seven, St.
Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw, Kiev,
Lods, Odessa and Riga, retain their di
rect representation. The electors in these
cities are divided into two -classes on a
basis of property qualifications, each
electing its own representatives, the idea
being to assure the choice of at least
half by richer and supposedly more con
servative citizens.
To Increase the representation of the
Conservative landowners, the election of
one landowner is made arbitrary. It Is
specifically provided that peasant Depu
ties must be houseowners. personally en
gaging In agriaulture. The extension of
the suffrage to the workmen, for which
M. Witts- was responsible, is practically
nullified, direct representatives of the
workmen being retained in only six prov
inces, among them being Bt. Petersburg
and Moscow.
The official version states that the new
electoral law leaves the general basis of
the previous law unchanged: that no sin
gle class or person possessing the fran
chise under the existing laws loses it.
the main difference being that under the
new law all the different classes of tha
peculation, namely, land owners, peas
ants, citizens and workmen, are assured
of a minimum number of members among
the popular representatives. The new
law also gives the Intelligent classes an
advantage in the final elections, inasmuch
as it increases the number of their elec
toral assemblies as compared with the
representatives of the non-intelligent
classes.
While the effect of the present pre
ponderance of "non-intelHgents" over
T-intelligents" has been to Till the douma
with deputies devoid of all training for
the comprehension of matters of state
administration, a considerable portion of
whom lacked even elementary education,
the new douma promises to be composed
of a class of members of experience in
local government and accustomed to
quiet and peaceful work. An important
feature of the law is that each class or
social group must elect deputies of its
own class, and the workmen cannot be
represented by intellectuals who are not
workmen, as was the case in the dis
solved douma.
Czar Yields to Stolypln.
From a well-informed source the Asso
ciated Press learns that the decision to
dissolve the douma and abolish the
former election law was due to the initi
ative of the Emperor, whose original In
tentions went far beyond the steps
actually taken. . His Majesty wished to
dismiss parliament a fortnight ago and
prolong the interval before the convoca
tion of a new assembly, thinking that
this would permit the agitation through
out the country to subside. He was en
couraged in this attitude by court circles,
but finally yielded to the arguments of
Premier Stolypln, . who strongly advo
cated the convening of the douma in the
Autumn. The Premier also succeeded in
having stricken from the electoral law
provisions increasing the educational and
property (qualifications for suffrage and
raising the age limit of voters from 25
to 30 years, working upon His Majesty
by what is disgustedly described by one
of his opponents as the "Bugaboo of re
action." Recatlonary circles here are Jubilant
over the disposition of the douma, the
Conservative deputies holding an all
night fete at the Conservative Club in
celebration of the Emperor's decree.
Champagne was served to all comers.
SOLE TOPIC AT THE HAGUE
Dissolution of Douma Causes Im
pression Among Delegates.
TUB HAGUE, June 18. The dissolution
of the douma and the promulgation of a
new election system have created a pro
found Impression among the delegates at
the peace conference. The news reached
The Hague this morning and spread rap
idly, becoming instantly the topic for dis
cussion. For the time being matters per
taining to the conference were forgotten.
Although the dissolution of the douma
was anticipated by those who have been
closely following recent developments in
St. Petersburg, the fact that such an
event should occur simultaneously with
the opening of the conference was gener
ally deplored. There is general disap
proval as to the wisdom 'of the dissolu
tion. The Russian delegates at the conference
were not surprised at the news, having
been kept fully Informed as to the Inten
tions of their government. They deny,
however, tha there Is any connection be
tween the government's decision sand M.
Nellboff's utterances yesterday. Extra
precautions have been taken by the police
to insurance the personal safety of M.
Nellboff. Ever since his arrival here spe
cial detectives have been detailed to
guard him, aa the secret service was
warned several days ago that an attempt
to assassinate him would be made as ha
drove to the Hall of Knights yesterday.
A demonstration against the peace con
ference was held this morning in a field
outside the city, but it was not a great
suocess. The organizers of the demon
stration expected that M. Gustav Herve,
the leader of the anti-military movement,
would be present, but he did not appear,
telegraphing that he had been delayed on
account of legal business. The speakers
were confined to Dutch orators who ad
dressed about 2000 persons against the
Idea that the various governments had
any serious Intention to lighten the mili
tary burdens, which were sapping the en
ergies of the European states. The peace
conference they denounced as a comedy
played to deceive the masses.
POLES FEAR FOR THE FUTURE
New Election Law May Shut Them
Out From Representation.
WARSAW, June 19. The newspa
pers issued extras today containing the
news of the douma's dissolution, which
has created a profound impression.
The Emperor's action is the subject of
eager discussion, the people fearing
that the new election law will exclude
the Poles. The city, however, remains
quiet. Domiciliary visits are of night
ly occurrence and arrests of Socialists
and Nationalists are frequent. Troops
to the number of 800,000 are massed
around the city.

CONFIRM REPORT OF TREATS'
France and Spain and Great Britain
and Spain Form Alliance.
PARIS, June 16. The news' of the
signing of treaties by France and
Spain and Great Britain and Spain,
mutually guaranteeing; the Integrity of
their respective countries and their in
sular and colonial possessions in the
East Atlantic and Mediterranean and
which was officially denied, was fully
confirmed today by M. Plchon, Minister
of Foreign Affairs. The fact that he
had not, at the time the news was
published, communicated with the pow
ers, led to the denial.
The text of the three-cornered
agreement thus resulting will shortly
be published. A general military con
vention accompanied the arrangement
but provision is made In case of com
plications to assure freedom of com
munlaation with the mother lands to
the respective territories Included In
the agreement.
The double arrangement, although
quite distinct as between France and
Spain and Great Britain and Spain, is
identical In terms.
"Such arrangements are the best
guarantees of peace that can be con
ceived," said M. Plchon in an inter
view today. "Our agreement with
Spain Is purely pacific It accords
with the Interests as well as the sym
pathies of both nations. The -negotiations
for this safeguarding of the com
mon Interests of the two countries
have been going on for several months,
and the Instrument now signed has
been communicated to the United
States and other powers with explana
tions as to its scope. Its Intent is
purely pacific, the object being to as
sure the status quo of that region,
which could not be altered -without In
Jury to the two contracting signatories
and tha security of communication of
the respective outlying territories,
which is-especially Important In the
case of our possessions In Africa and
oa both the Atlantic and Mediterran
ean coasts."

Themselves In Readiness.. ,
NEW YORK, June 16. The Commer
cial Telegraphers' Union has not yet
received an answer to the demands on
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, according to President S. J.
Small, of the union. After a meeting
of the executive committee tonight,
both President Small and Secretary
Treasurer Russell left the city, Mr.
Russell returning to Chicago.
President ' Small notified all the
unions today that the statement that
the adjustment of grievances had l)een
postponed was untrue, and -d'lreoted
them to hold themselves in readiness
for Important Information.
President Small also issued a state
ment In which he said that local
unions all ver the country were clam
oring for a strike, but that they had
been notified that they must take no
action without permission from the
National officers. He added that In
view of the fact that a strike would
be costly to business' men throughout
the country, the National board of the
union was anxious to avert It If pos
sible. CHICAGO OPERATORS ARE FIRM
Back Up Officers of Union In De
mands on Western Union.
CHICAGO, June 16. Fifteen hundred
telegraphers, members of the Commer
cial Telegraphers' Union, at a meeting
here this afternoon, voted to support the
president and executive committee of
their organization in any measures they
deem necessary to bring about an ad
justment of the operators' grievances.
Those present were chiefly employes of
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies.
' Separate resolutions were passed by
each group of employes, the Postal men
advocating "drastic measures" to enforce
their demands and the Western Union
operators serving ten days' notice on
the officials of the company, that they
"must meet the employes' committee as
represented by the Commercial Teleg
raphers' Union for discussion and ad
justment of grievances, or bear the re
sponsibility for Interference with public
business which would follow action that
will be incumbent upon the Chicago local
union.
A $5000 strike fund was voted. Repre
sentatives of the Order of Railway Teleg
raphers assured the commercial opera
tors of the support and 'sympathy of in
dividual members of the railway union,
but took no official action.

President Believes Labor Commis

OYSTER BAY, June 16. President
Roseveit has. referred to Charles P. Neill,
Commissioner of Labor, without com
ment, the various appeals which have
been made to him by wire and mail to
intervene to prevent the threatened teleg
raphers' strike. The position Is taken,
that no emergency exists such as ob
tained at the time the President inter
vened In the anthracite coal strike, but,
on the contrary, the situation presented
Is one where action by the Government,
If taken at all. may properly be Initiated
and directed by the Bureau of Labor,
of which Mr. Neill is the head.
Attention is called to the fact that Mr.
Neill has on his own motion acted with
more or less success In several recent
strikes, simply by making an Investiga
tion and bringing to light the salient
facts In the controversies, his reports be
ing the basis on which a settlement was
later reached. Whether he will feel Jus
tified in pursuing the same course in the
present Instance is not commented on
here, as the President has given Mr.
Neill no Intimation of any kind.
Leave It to President Small.

She Unceasingly Schemes to Wreak
Revenge on Germany.
HTLLSBORO, Or.. June IB. (To the
Editor.) I have read with the keenest
attention a number of recent editorials
in The Oregonlan on The Hague confer
ence and noticed the striking contrast
between The Oregonlan's view and the
inane twaddle with which the reading
publio has been deluged from various
quarters regarding this subject, the most
prominent feature of which consists in
the proposed discussion of the limitation
armaments, where the German Army
holds the center of Interest.
All are agreed that the German empe
ror controls the question of peace and
war and holds in his hands to that ex
tent at least the destinies of the nations
of continental Europe. But, while the
hoi pollol. drawing their inspiration fjgm
England, are noisily repeating phrases
cunningly devised to deceive and to en
gender hatred and prejudice against Ger
many, and with vociferous reiteration
procialm through their mouthpieces
among whom Andrew Carnegie Is con
spicuous that the fact -of the German
emperor exercising this control consti
tutes a menace to the peace of the world,
the thoughtful student of history per
ceives in the superior strength and effi
ciency of the German army a guarantee
of peace. The press of Germany natu
rally adhere to and defend this view and
I am more than pleased to find the paper
of my choice. The Oregonlan, In the same
position holding that not the mighty
army of Germany hut the thirst for
martial glory on the part of France con
stitutes the disturbing element in Euro
pean affairs.
France, vainglorious and Inordinately
fond of combat that Is, combat of such
kind from which she emerges victorious
no longer deceives herself with the hope
of gathering fresh laurela In another
armed -conflict with Germany. But the
desire to accomplish that country's over
throw has become a consuming passion
amounting to obsession with the rank
and file of the French nation and with
nerves aquiver, presenting a pathetlo
spectacle, the French are feverishly on !
the qui vive for allies. ae wily Musco- j
vite has so far disannnlnteri them. Rus- !
sla needed money and having obtained !
it from their new and eager ally, struck j
out tor Asia and, moving along the lines
of least resistance In the Far East, ac
quired territory many times the size of
Germany without striking a single costly
blow. The check, temporary though it
be, she received from Japan has for
3 ears to come eliminated Russia as a
factor of Importance in affairs European.
The southern nations of Europe of Latin
stock, like herself, have at different
times been inveigled by France into ag
gressive alliances for the purpose of
humbling Germany. But France found
them a broken staff to lean upon. Ger
many, with a few significant gestures,
pointed to her big stick, and the Latin
alliance hastily abandoned their designs
upon her.
Thus neither the calculating Slav nor
her unsangulneous Latin friends were
found proper material for allies, and for
a time there was a gloom cast over them
that deceived the world into the belief
that the French had become reconciled
to the cruel fate of being compelled into
good behavior. But not for long. For
io,. and behold, from across the Channel
there arose strange sounds, low mutter
ings, savage growls and at last loud
and . ominous roaring, and the heart of
dejected Gaul revived and beat high with
new hope. For John .Bull had recognized
in' Germany a successful rival for the
commerce of the world, and was dis
pleased. Politics make strange bedfel
lows. France and England are ' allies.
The same England that has been for
centuries past her most persistent and
ruthless foe, reducing France to a second-rate
.maritime power, is now her
great and good friend.
But is France any nearer her goal? And
does she, encumbered with this new ally,
believe and think herself able to defeat
Germany? Had she .been convinced of
this, there would Have been no. Algeclras
conference but war Instead. France
would have lasting and honorable peace
with Germany if she so desired it but
not desiring it, she will be forced to
keep peace by that country, which is able
with her army to administer crushing
defeat to France, either alone or sur
rounded and aided by a host of allies.
And the French know or ought to know
that what her Galllo forbears stated of
the Germans is as true at this day as it
was In the days of Caesar, who in terse
sentences expressed -the opinion of the
ancients as follows: "Germans, lncredl
blle virtute atque evercltlone in armis."
England la posing In the role of the
champion of peace. She also promulgates
and advocates the doctrine of limitation
of armament. If England is sincere in
her protestations for universal peace,
why does she enter Into an alliance with
France, well knowing as all the world
knows the object with which that coun
try seeks and concludes alliances? If she
is sincere In her advocacy of total
or partial disarmament, how is it that
Spain, whom Uncle Sam so kindly re
lieved of the trouble and expense of
maintaining a navy. Immediately upon
the visit of King Edward, enters upon an
era of Dreadnaught building activity.
Editor Stead, of the Review of Reviews,
end Andrew Carnegie came over from
England to instruct and Improve us, one
denouncing the German emperor and the
German army, the other passing deroga
tory judgment on the value of the pious
customs of our people In New York.
Had not both these gentlemen better di
rect their oratory. Including profane
damn-damns, to their British compa
triots at home?
The stand The Oregonlan has taken In
those articles, on The Hague conference,
will gain It many more friends and ad
mirers among German readers. Besides,
I have read in some of the German pa
pers published in Portland, literal and
faithful translations of some of these
said editorials, lifted bodily from The

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. A radical
change in the executive branch of Ban

developments In the case of Mayor
Schmlts. who Is temporarily Incapacitated
by reason of his Imprisonment in the
county Jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor Schmlts In the extortion cases
on which he has been convicted has been
set for June 27. Prior to that date he
cannot possibly procure ball, according
to the decision of Judge Dunne yesterday,
but the law provides that after judgment
has been passed, the matter of allowing
ball is discretionary with any magistrate
having - Jurisdiction. Consequently, if
judgment is passed on the date set. Mayor
Schmltx will have ground for a new appli
cation for ball and his request may run
the gamut, not only of the 12 Judges ofM
the Superior Court, but of the appellate I
Justices and judges of the police courts
as well. Whether Mayor Schmlts will
ask for sentence on June 27 or ask-for a
continuance has not been stated by his
attorneys. This has made It impossible
for the prosecution to plan Its action in
this regard.

,dusti-ial Workers of the World, a new
International industrial orBo.iiiisa.iii'ji
may be launched In the near future.
Acting president C. E. Mahony of the

convention in this city, has already
indorsed -the policy of refusing to pay
any more per capita tax to the Indus

"It is quite probable," said Mr. Ma

Industrial labor organization will be
formed, with such orders as the West

ers to start it, and with many more
Influential labor bodies flocking, to it
as soon as success seems probable.
There seems to be a strong Inclina
