Because Government Dis persed Parliament. WANT UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE Manifesto Calls For Elections on Basis of Universal Suffrage Ambassdor , Meyer Does Not Anticipate General Strike. 8T. PETERSBURG, July 30.-The public prosecutor has started proceed ings against the membera of the lower house of parliament who signed the VI borg manifesto. A manifesto to the peasants of Rus ia has been issued in the joint names of all the various labor, socialist and revolutionary organisations, Including representatives of these organisations In the defunct lower house. This man! festo declares the hopes raised in the lower house of parliament have been blasted by the diabolical designs of the crowd of grand dukes, courtiers and wealthy land proprietors, assembled around the emperor, whose only pur pose can be the maintenance of power over the people. By dispersing the elected representatives ef the people and arresting and imprisoning them, the government has declared on the nation a war and a struggle, beginning in which rivers of blood will flow and for which crime the government is responsible, The people must not spare the govern ment. Fatherland Betrayed. This manifesto further accuses the government of betraying the fatherland by invoking the aid of German and Aus trian troops. The people therefore are urged to remove local authority every where, and to replace them with men elected by themselves and to confiscate all the state funds. The troops also must conform to the orders of those elected by the people. .The workmen in the towns, the peasantry and all toilers must in conjunction with the troop: seize and take the land which the gov ernment has denied them. The land thus possesses must be handed over to the popularly elected representatives, pending the elaboration of a new land law. The manifesto calls for elections on the basis of universal suffrage and con hides with ' the words: "Down with the Government and the Emperor. Long live the dear and free Russian iwonle." Message to State Department. WASHINGTON, July 30.-Ambassa dor Meyer at fct. reterstmrg sent a dispatch to the State Department today lit which he reviews the situation in Russia and says there seems to be no probability of a general strike of labor ers at this time. "It is now eight days since the dissolution of the national as sembly and contrary to expectations and prophecies the press calm continues ere. The PutilohT laborers seem to have abandoned the idea of striking. It is thought the central labor committee 111 send out word to abstain from strikes of a political character. AH in dications continue to point to the im probability of general strikes." EDUCATION BILL PASSES. LONDON, July 30. The education bill has passed the third reading of the house by a majority of 192.

POLITICAL SCHEME Tammany's Support of Hearst Regarded Suspiciously. WILL HEARST BE GOVERNOR If Tammany Support Him He Will Stand Very Good Chanc of Win ning Out Bryan's Presi dential Boom. WASHINGTON, July 30 (Special)- Tlie post week appeara to have been rather an of one in politic. The thing which attracted most interest was an interview with Charles F. Murphy in which he indicated; tiat Tammany n ight be found in line for William R. Hearst for the democratic nomination for governor of New York. Should Tam many go into the convention sincerely and earnestly for Hearst, the nomina tion of Hearst would be practically as sured. And sliould Tammany give bim genuine support t the polls. Hearst would come mighty close to being elected. Tammany ,of course, bos no love for Hearst, nor has Murphy. It would be strange if they did. But Tammany is no sentimentalist at the game of poli tics, and it may be that Tammany rec ognizes the support of Hearst as a neces sity. Murphy didn't commit Tammany to Hearst's support and possibly he is playing some game more Bubtle than Murphy usually plays. It did sound, though like be was breaking the ice for a full endorsement of Hearst's can didacy. Washington is chiefly interested in speculation as to tho .probable effect Hearst's election as iroveiiior of New York would have on national politics. Hearst has announced that he is not n candidate for the presidential nomina tion, but ucli announcements are of little weight. He has not said he would not accept the nomination should it be ten dered him by the democratic national convention. Just now everything demo cratic appears to be traveling in the direction of Mr. Bryan, but Hearst's election as governor might change all that. It certainly would, give him a tremendous prestige, and there are many democrats who think that in this day of radicalism Heiws.t is the ideal radi cal candidate. One thing is certain; it will be worth the while of Mr. Bryan's enthusiastic supporters to keep an eye on the New York situation. Aside from, the Murphy interview, about the only thing political of inter est this week was the conference at Oyster Bay betwen Mr. . Roosevelt and (Continued on page 8) EMBARGO IS NOVGENERAL None But Perishable Goods Enter Bay City. S. P. OFFICIALS CONFER All Supplies for Stricken City By Freight are Now Cut Off. FEAR D1SASTEROUS EFFECT Unless Blockade of Freight it Lessened in Few Weeks it WiH Become Serious Danger 5000 Cars ' Are Stalled. SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-The embargo on freight was extended today on all goods coming into the city by freight over the Southern Pacific ex cept crude oil and perishable goods. sucn as foodstuffs. This action was taken after a conference of the local officials of the Southern Pacific in pur suance of the general policy of General Manager Kruttschnitt. On Saturday last an order was Issued placing the ban on all shipments from the northern part of the country, and as this order was made general today, San Fran cisco is cut off from all supplies by freight. The effect of the present embargo is sure to be disastrous unless speedily relieved ano it is feared it will cause the price of all goods barred to go up. Railroad officials are of the opinion that if the blockade of freight is not lessened in the course of a few weeks it will be come a serious danger to the city and state. It is estimated there are 5000 loaded cars in the yards of San Francisco and Oakland. EVIDENCE AGAINST STANDARD Government Has Secured Complete Chain of Evidence to Indict CHICAGO, July 30 When the federal grand jury convenes in Chicago one week from today final steps will be taken toward forging a complete chain of evidence against the Standard Oil Company and some of its high officials which the government prosecutors hope will lead to indictments and prosecu tions under the anti-rebate law. To this end Attorney-General Moody has had some of his best legal talent at work here for several days analyzing the . evidence taken before the grand jury at Cleveland a few weeks ago and preparing a line of procedure that will substantiate testimony already adduced. The chief task of weaving a net about those alleged to be guilty of law break ing will foil to the lot of John J. Su- ivan, district attorney for the northern district of Ohio who was in charge of the investigation into the reations of the Standard Company and railroads at Cleveland. Others who will take part in the pro ceedings will be District Attorney' C. B. Morrison recently assigned to take spec ial charge of the prosecutions in mono poly cases j Special Agent T. C. M. Schindler for the federal department of commerce and labor who labored for many months under the direction of Commissioner Garfield in gathering ma terial for the la tier's report on the trans portation of oil throughout the United States; Assistant Attorney-General O. E. Pagin, and Assistant District Attor ney Francis Hanchell. There will also be evidence concern ing alleged discrimination in the mat ter of storage charges in favor of the oil company.

She was not asked what the nature of this set tlement was. "I am a resident, of Reno, Nev., said Mrs. Corey, when placed on the stand, "and the wife of William Ellis Corey, the defendant in this action. We were married on December 1, 1883, at Pitts burg, Pa, and lived together until May 1905. At that time my husband de serted me and went to New York. I followed him, and held conversation with him in the Hotel Lorraine. It wa there that he told me that he had de cided to live apart. He said that it was impossible for us to live happily to gether, and that I would never see hint again. He stated that he intended go ng to Europe for several months. There was no scene, l tamed with him about the matter, and urged him to again resume his place in our home, but he refused. I have never seen him since." Mrs. Corey added that she came to Reno for her health, ad that she had no intention of bringing an action fon divorce at the time she took up her residence in Nevada. , She stated she selected Reno upon the advice of her sister-in-law, Miss Addie Corey j that they considered this place their future home, and expected to live here in the future.
