st. Petersburg, Monday. March ITO
day was the fortieth anniversary of the
emarcipatio Of the serfs. The students
had been planning for some time to
keep the day as a holiday and perhaps
make some demonstra ton. but no par
ticular plans we're made. AT noon,
thousand or fifteen hundred men stu
dents and women students gathered in
and around the Kasan cathedral on the
Nevsky prospect. where mass for tha
repose OF the soul Of Car Alexander
II was being celebrated. After the mass
the students began singing and the
police gathered in great numbers, in
cluding force of mounted police. The
students were surrounded and driven
in a crowd towards the city hall not far
away and also on the Nevsky prospect.
For no special reason the police began
beating the students and trampling
them under the feet Of their horses.
The Nevsky prospect was filled with
spectators. The banks and business
houses were nearly all closed with
shutters fastened and doors locked.
The spectators and the women stu
dents screamed with horror. but the po-
lice keot UP their attack on the stu
dents until four hundred of the latter
were driven into the court yard Of the
city hall, the others escaping into the
crowd. The entire city was Mortified
by the conduct OF the police.

IN DEMOCRATIC QUARTERS
Senator McComas Secures the Best
SenG on the Democratic Side

Washington, March 6.-The demo-
cratic senator's are somewhat exercised
over the assignment of a seat on the
democHatic side of the chamber to Sem
ator McComaS, a republican senator
from Maryland. By common consent
the democrats have from time
immemorial occupied the seats on the
right Of the presiding officer and the
republicans those to the left. Now,
however. the republicans are so largely
in the majority that ii has become ne
cesSary to place some of them on the
democratic side, but they were placed
in the least desirable seats. A rule Of
the senate, however. assigns to the
first senator asking for 1t any given
seat, and, acting under this rule, Sem
ator McComas filed upon Senator But
ler's seat when he saw that it would be
vacated and it was accordingly assign
ed to him. The seat Is the best on the
democratic side, being in the front row
and immediately facing the presiding
officer. The democratic senators con-
sidered the disposal Of the seat as one
Of their prerogatives. and they took it
up in their conference yesterday. The
conference referred the question to the
steering committee and that committee
decided to formally present the matter
to the republican steering committee.
That presentation has been nisDde and
there the matter rests

THE NEW CABINET
The secretarieS sworn in-Appoint-
ments Discussed

Washington, March 6.-The members
the cabinet room at the White house.
The ceremony was entirely informal,
no spectators being present except
the president, Chief Justice Fuller,
who administered the oath, and Secre-
tary Cortelyou. The members stood
around the cabinet table and with up
lifted hands repeated after the chief
justice the oath Of allegiance. After
extending to each one and to the pres
ident congra tulations, Chief Justice
Fuller withdrew. For about half an
hour afterwards the members of the
cabinet remained with the president
discussing appointments. The appoint
ment of the war cla ms commissioners
and the st. Louis exposition commits

addition some other important appoint

upon Mr.. Mekeljohn's contest before

here that Colonel William Carey San

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
Awaits the Duke OF Manchester on
His Arrival In England

liverpool, March e.-On his arrival
here today, on the White Star Line
steamer Oceanic from New York, the
Duke Of Manchester, who with his
bride was a passenger on board, was
served with a writ of an alleged breach
OF promise, at the instance OF Portia
Knight, Of London. The duke denies
the report, but the writ has been issu-
ed.
Phie entirely unexpected sequel to
one Of the most interesting marriages
between American heiresses and rep
reseRtatives Of the British peerages
had it's inception shortly after the
duke of Manchester so suddenly made
MISS Zimmerman a duchess.
Aiss Knights allegations are not yet
obtainabIe, but it is evident that she
is in earnest and that the suit was
brought without any idea of gaining
publicity. She is about the same age
as the duke of Manchester, possibly
a triae older. Their acquaintance be-
gan, a representative of the Associat
ed Press is informed. when Miss
Knight was living in Stirmin's man
Sions. I'm London, where the duke fire.
quently visited. The employees OF the
mansions say the acquaintance ripen-
ed to a stage where they quarreled
frequently and that the visits continu-
ed until only about six months ago,
when the duke no longer called there.
and Miss knight took a fiat elsewhere.
She is now living IN London amid
friends of position and means.
Unlike the Duchess, Miss Knight is
a pronounced brunette, with an olvie
complexion.
No one met the duke and dutchess
of Manchester on their arrival at
Uston stat on, London. The dutchess
looked extremely we'll and very pretty.
The duke seemed rather worried.
When asked by representative of the
Associated Press if it were true that
he had been served with a writ, he re-
piled: 1T is quite untrue. l know
nothing about the suit. 1 am feeling
quite fit and had q fine time in Ameri-
Co."
Come along, said the dutchese, and
the couple jumped into cab and drove
of. They had intended to land at
Queenstown and to proceed to their
Irish home; but the storm prevented,
and therefore they decided to come to
London, which they will shortly leave
for Ireland.
Portland, Ore, March 8.-Miss Portea
knight was formerly a resident of
Salem, Oregon, and is a daughter Of
Rev. p. S. Knight, a welel known con-
greGational minister of that city.

ing. She and the life saving crew tried
to board and render assistance to the
large British steamship Comperdown
which stranded on Lookout shoals eight
miles from Beaufort Monday morning,
but, ewing to continued high winds and
sea they have beer unable to do so. The
captain Of the Camperdown reports the
steamer not leaking. but strained,
and with favorable weather the wreck
ers think they can float her. There are
two more tugs and barge en- route
and expected momentarily. but should
the weather change for the worse she
wil be total loss as her position Is
very much exposed and critical.
