viii Be Able to Save
His Friend VanCOtt
From Being Turned
Out Of Office.
(Soripps News Association. }

WASHINGTON, d. c., May r.
The report of the inspectors of the
New York City postoffice is in the
possession of the postmaster general,
who won't give ont its contents until
it has been reviewed by the president.
1t is well known, however, that the
inspectors have recommended the dis
missal of Postmaster Vancott, his son,
also dozen subordinates.
Senator Platt, Vancott' personal
friend, worked hard for him and has
often reported that if Vaneott goes it
would cause a political rupture in the
state.
The president this afternoon approx
ed the recommendations by Robb and
as result Richard vancott, son Of
the postmaster was summarily remov-
ed. No proof of administration has
been made against the postmaster, and
he may be allowed to serve out his
Term.

LIVERPOOL. May 1.-THE Post
asserts today that dispatches have
reached London to the effect that the
car is suffering from great mental
depression and desires to abdicate.
The reports purport to come from
high quarters in st. Petersburg. This
report of the cars desire to abdi-
cate, stating that he wishes to grant
the common people part in the gov
eminent and distrusts his ministers
and the reports of his commanders
In the field, is thought here to indi-
cate that the cars nerves are badly
shattered and that he is drifting from
pillar to post. 1t is admitted in high
quarters that no sensational move
that the car might make would as
tonish London officials. Bulletins
from st. Petersburg are being watch
ed now with equal interest as those
from the seat of war. The develop
ments in each place are likely to be
equally sensational.

STARTLING RUNoH.
(Scripps News Association


VIENNA. May 12.--Startling ad-
vices have been received here today
from different points in Russia to the
effect that the conviction Is growing
among the more intellectual classes
that absolutism has seen it's best days
In the cxar's empire. These advices
add further 1t Is the opinion Of those
In close touch with the car that of
his own volition he will give the en-
pire a constitutional parliament.
Following so closely upon the Jap
anese victories, and the revelations
Of unpreparedness and structural
weakness of the Russian army and
navy which those victories have en-
1hasized. these dispatches have pro-
tuced profound sensation in Vienna.
They recall the prophesies made at
the outset Of the war that Russia y
greatest danger was from within.
Educated Russians and the upper
strata of the masses have begun to
realize as never before the weakness
and corruptness Of the bureaucracy
that governs Russian under the car
and are demanding part in the gov
eminent to preserve Russia for the
Russians. They reveal the fact also
that the car Is beginning to realize
the same weakness in his govern
mental machinery and to desire the
closer cooperation and assistance of
theN brainier of his subjects in d.
rectAng the empires destinies. He
has thus soon in the war discovered
the incompetency Of his beaurocratic
assistants and by sheer force of ne
cessity is being compelled to turn to
his people for assistance. A consti-
tutional parliament. to thinking peo-
pie here. means the emancipation of
Russia's common people.

The great brewery strike is no more.

reached deadlock yesterday and there
appeared to be no possible way of COM
ing to a satisfactory settlement. The

Galland-Burke company couldn't agree
upon any sort of settlement. Then
someone mentioned the name of Dutch
Jake" for an arbitrator. That settled
it.
When the Dutchman was approached
on the subject he didn't wait long
before advising the Galland- Burke peo-
pie to sign to the contract as the other
breweries of the city had done. All
is once more peaceful.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-It
was announced here today that the
cxar would personally bid farewell to
the Tenth army corps at Kharkofr
on the Esd of May. 1t also leaks out
that the GEAR still expresses keen
desire to go to the front. regardless
Of the wishes of his ministers and the
royal family to the contrary. This
desire is thought to be due TO the
extreme nervous state into which the
war has thrown the emperor, rather
than to the thought that he could
personally accomplish anything at
the front.

Two Places for SPOKANE.
Such is the republican state ticket
Of Washington for the year 1904.
Eastern Washington with only a
third of the republican vote Of the
state obtains nearly one-half Of the
positions on the ticket which will be
voted for next fall, l. e., eight out Of
IS places, but most Of the places
which have fallen to her lot are hon.
orary or of nominal value. The south
west and the northwest, which ef-
fected the combine which won, d.
vided the plums. Ten delegates to the
national republican convention are
named and of these four are from
eastern Washington.
Spokane secures two positions, one
a delegate to the national republican
convention and the other the honor
airy one of presidential elector. Mr..
Sweeny was given the place on the
delegation to the national convention
and was the only man in Spokane
county whrot secured the place for
which he had been endorsed by his
home county. Judge L. B. Nash Sc
cures the compliment Of position as
presidential elector. which comes to
Spokane as matter of policy.
New Boss Appears.
The triumph Of the forces of the
railroad was complete and its signifi-
canoe will be far reaching. This
dominating corporation power Is more
firmly seated in Washington politics
than ever before in the history of the
state. The triumph of the ticket
named yesterday is a triumph in
which the railroads have ridden
rough shod over the well known
wishes OF at least the people Of east
ern Washington.
But while the railroads have won
this signal victory over their oppo-
nents, this same victory marks the
rise Of new boss in the politics Of
the state of Washington. This man
is J. d. Farrell, once q resident of
Spokane, now making his home in
