ADO, Finland, October 26.-The trial OF
former Senator Schaumann, father of Eu-
gene Waldemar Schaumann. the assassin OF
the late Governor General Bobrikof, arrest
ed on July on suspicion of having had
knowledge of his sons crime. is arousing
great popular interest.
The indictment charges him with con-
spiracy against the government. When his
house was searched June II. the day after
Bobrikoff's assassination, Police Inspector
Molodkin found plans for general arming
and training of the. whole population. to-
gether with appeals exhorting the people to
preserve political alertness and be prepared
for any eventuality.
Schaumann in his reply does not deny
the authorship of the plans, but contests
the revolutionary Interpretation given to
them.
He pleaded not guilty. Baron Langen-
skoell, counsel for the defendant. asked that
the case be postponed until the witnesses
of the accused could be summoned and that
in the meantime Schaumann be released on
bail. The latter request was refused. but
the case was adjourned until November 8.

REVISING INSPECTION LAWS.
Meetings of the Board viii Be in
Executive Session.

At the second days session of the board
of supervising steamboat inspectors.
which began this morning at the Office OF
Inspector General Uhler. all the members
were present with the exception of Har-
ris of New York, Inspector Birmingham
of California having arrived in the city
this morning. The organization having
been effected at the session yesterday.
the board today got down to the business
of revision of the general inspection laws
preparatory to putting the results Of
their work in the form of a report to the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
Although the meetings are wholly execu-
tive in character. it is thoroughly under
stood that the sole action of the board will
consist of suggestions looking to the Inn
provement of the inspection service. and
will in no case approach criticism OF any
official of the service, that having been
quite thoroughly done in the report of the
recent Slocum commission, which made an
exhaustive investigation of the disaster to
that vessel, the result of which was the
dismissal of several of the most prominent
officials of the service.
1t Is not at all likely that there will be
any publicity given to their deliberations
until after they have been submitted to
Secretary Metcalf and by him incorporated
in his annual report on the condition and
requirements of the Department of Com
merce and Labor The sessions will not be
closed for several weeks.

THE TWO POLITICAL. RALLIES
The Difference in the two Rallies as Viewed
By the People who Witnessed Both.

The democratic rally Saturday after
noon was an unthuSia-tic meeting to
the extent of ii very earnest gathering.
Hon. George Turner delivered an eX-
cellent address that bristled with facts
and was well received and heartily APP
plauded. Mr.. Turner was "A very sick
man and his friends urged him to not
attempt to talk, but he insisted on see
ing the people and at least talk to them
"a few moments. He urged the people
to support the democratic ticket if they
wanted ii railroad commission.
Judge f.. b. Preble made an excel
lent speech and won many friends. He
urged his hearers to investigate his
qualifications and fitness for superior
Judge.
II. j. Snively and X. Lee Purdin also
addressed the meeting in short talks
The republican rally Monday even
ing was very well attended. Perhaps
one half Of those present were ladies
and fully one fourth were democrats.
all Of whom went out to hear what Mr.
Mead had to say for himself. If one
can Judge from expressions, then our
republican friends were very much dis
appointed, for they say Dobel talked of
things that he had ought not and was
silent on things he ought to have talked
about. And the same may be said of
Mead. AS matter of course, the
speakers were al defenders of the road
road corporations. Our friend, II. l..
Stowell, offered three cheers and a
tiger for Mr.. Mead, but there were no
takers. so had them all to himself, no
one raised a voice even to help him out
of his humliating dilema. The meet
ing was opened and closed by a frost.
Such is campaigning in the far west
where speech making by republicans
accomplishes nothing. The people are
readers and students, and they have
made up their minds as to whom they
will support and all the speeches ever
made will not sway many votes.
