New York. Nov. 9.-On board his
flagship the Drake. Prince Louis de-
scribed his impressions of President
Roosevelt. saying:
During the three days I was in

view with the president and that is an

COMMANDS AT PALACE

st. Petersburg. Nov. $3.50 p. M
Both Count Witte and the emperor have
made another surrender. General
Trepor has been removed from the
powerful position which he occupied,
that of governor general of St. Peters
burg and assistant minister of the in
terror and Russia's premier has agreed
to immediate universal suffrage.
Count White has been fully aware of
the intense hatred General Trepoff's re-
tention in office was causing but he
never questioned the sincerity of the
governor generals cooperation in the
Introduction of the new regime Never
theIess he recognized the necessity of
Trepon's removal and the governor gen
eral himself agreed that only his retire
ment would appease the popular wrath.
eidnal obstacle was the emperor, who
had come to believe that Trepoff alone
was able to safeguard the life of him
self and family, but his majesty at last
yielded on the condition that TrepOff
should become commandant of the pal
ace. succeeding the late Lieutenant Cen
eral Kesse, where his sole duty will be
to take measures to protect the life of
the emperor
The position Of governor general of st.
Petersburg ends with Trepons retire
ment but the place of commander of the
imperial guard has been assumed by
the Grand Duke Nicholas.
Universal Suffrage.
The series of consultations which
Count Witte has been holding with
constitutional democrats, and even
with the representatives of the con-
servative wing of the zemstvoists,
convinced him that it was useless to
hold out longer if he was to continue
seeking to secure the sympathy of the
parties of the center. He therefore
practically promised an immediate
extension of the suffrage to include all
classes of the population The suf-
frage in the cities will be direct and
among the peasants indirect through
q single set Of electors. Even upon
these conditions however, the con-
stitutiOnal Democrats finally late last
nigGt decided definitely not to hold
Office in the present ministry They
take the high position that the min
the national assembly or constituent
assembly meets. and they are not free
to accept Office until If is demon
strated that they have the support OF
the majority.
Prof Niljukoff, in explaining their
position to Count Witte. advised the
latter to take ready-made constitu-
ton like tisat of Belgium to Peterhof
and insist that the emperor pro-
mulgate it.
Dmitri Shfpof, Michael Stakovich
and NJ Guichkof were present when
Prince TroubetslIoy informed Count
Witte that in Difference to the wishes
and programme of his collea CUES il
was impossible for him to take the
portfolio of education.

ATROCIOUS.
Brutal Indignities Heaped Upon
American Women By Chinese
Before Numbering Them and
Throwing Bodies in the River.

Hong Kong, Nov. 9.-Dr. Machele,
the American missionary. who escaped
the massacre at Lien Chow, confirming
the previous accounts Of the outbreak,
adds horrifying details of the atrocities
committed on the American women.
When the disturbance commenced the
mob seized Miss Chestnut and Mrs.
Machele and exposed them to public
view in the Chinese temple. Amy
Machele. the doctors 1O-year-Old child
was carried off and flung alive into the
river. The rioters stripped Miss Chest
nut naked and flung her into the river.
While the two were struggling in the
water, three Cinnamon speared them
with tridents. Miss Chestnut's body
and Amy Machele's head were pierced.
Mrs. Machele appealed to the rioters,
but the mob stoned her brains out,
stripped the body and flung it into the
river. The mob then captured Mr.. and
Mrs. Peale, stripped them naked, ex-
posed them for Is minutes, dubbed Mr..
Peale to death in his wife's presence
and subsequently killed Mrs. Peale in
the same brutal fashion.

BOTTLE IS IN EVIDENCE E
One of the Exhibits in Famous Elliott
Case.

A quart bottle, supposed to contain q
mixture of whisky and morphine, is one
of the exhibits which the supreme court
must open" in the examination of the
evidence in the celebrated c. E. Elliott
disbarment case from Wellington, Kan,
which was submitted to the court today
on briefs filed by w. p. Hackney for the
prosecution and Ex-Governor w. E.
Stanley on behalf of the defendant
In addition to the quart bottle. which
is still sealed up in the original package
as received by the clerk of the supreme
court, there is stack of typewriter
depositions in the case about three feet
thick, besides voluminous briefs on be-
half of both sides.
Indications are that it will take the
supreme court justices several months
to wade through this great mass of tes-
tinony.
The briefs of Mr.. Hackney and Mr..
Stanley are, however, fun of thrilling
information. Each side turns itself lose
to depict the villafny of the other, and
the results are decidedly startling.
In brief, the history of the case is this:
Cleo D. Burnette and c. z. Elliott were
law partners at Wellington. They had
falling out; Burnette was accused of
improper actions and was disbarred
from practice Other people brought
charges against Ed Il. Hackney. in an
effort to disbar him; Burnette returned
from California and commenced disbar-
ment proceedings against Elliott.
W T. Hackney, uncle of Ed Hackney
is mixed up in the case because he be-
lieves that his nephew is the victim of
a conspiracy, of which Elliott is the au-
thor. Ex-Governor Stanley has come to
Elliott's defense because he has known
him for 20 years and believes him in
nocent.

RADCES GETS HELPERS.

of the depositors' committee of the First
committee of four to act with Receiver
Bradley in matters pertaining to the
larger things of the latetr's trust requir-
ing intimate acquaintance with local af-
fairs.
This is a big concession. in fact a very
noteworthy one In reality amounts
to giving the depositors' committee
something they have long sought after,
namely access to the affairs Of the bank.
Mr.. Radges this morning appointed
John Smith of the governors office, and
Judge s. H. Allen, as the two members
from the depositors' committee. Herbert
Hackney was appointed from the stock
holders, and he viii probably name NJ.

OUT WITH BOSSES.
Ex-Gov. Stanley Says People Are AS
serting Themselves.

Governor W. e. Stanley was in To-
peka today.
'The result of the elections in Ohio
and the east" said Governor Stanley,
SHOWS that the people are rising up
and asserting themselves; they believe
that the time has come to determine
once for all whether the political
bosses can rule this country, or wheth-
er this is a government of the people.
"Such a movement is encouraging
I believe that It is the forerunner of a
political awakening which viii be OF
immense value to the country. Peo-
pie are getting tired of the rule OF
corporations; they think that the cor
porations are exercising too much con-
troll not only In commercial circles
but in political life, and these elections
indicate, to my mind, that parties
must declare themselves emphatically
on this great issue If they would ex-
pect to receive the endorsement Of the
people"
Governor Stanley and Mort Al
baugh, who have not been on very
good terms politically, have made up.
Governor Stanley said today:
"A1baugh helped me to be elected
governor, and though he went back
on me for senator, I came to the con-
clusion that owed him a good deal
and that It wouldn't be worth while
to hold a grudge against him. Life is
too short to cherish animosities-'

ana otner prominent medical authori-
ties were also in attendance.
Governor Cox explained the object
of the gathering to be to prevent the
coming to the south of the pauper and
criminal classes from Europe which
now are flooding the west and north
west. Also to provide for uniform
quarantine regulations by the south
ern states which should have the ap-
prOval of the national congress and
thus have the force Of constitutional
law so that a citizen going to any part
of the south in times of epidemic
should know exactly what conditions
he would meet.
