GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo, April
23.-President Roosevelt's hunting
party, in camp fifteen miles northwest
of New Castle, spent a quiet Sunday.
The party had been invited to attend
church services at New Castle but it
was decided that hunting togs would be
inharmonious with Easter gladness.
After a week in the saddle the sports
men welcomed the chance to rest. Bear
tracks have been sighted in several

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-St. Louis was
today blue law town. The days of
Puritanism were outdone. With the
sole exception of drug stores and cigar
stands all other branches of industry
were at standstill.
The case was entirely reversed in the
country, where drinks could be had by
any one who was at all acquainted.
Forty cars were placed in service for
the accommodation of passengers over
the Eads bridge route into Illinois.
During the busy part of the day all of
them were crowded as they left the st.
Louis side. Vehicles of all descriptions
carried hundreds of passengers. April
16 there were $4,000 foot passengers.
This number was almost double today.
The average number of foot passengers
for this season of the year is 1000, ao-
cording to the reports of bridge Of
ficials.
No trouble, excepting in isolated
cases, was reported in the downtown
districts. The police continue to en-
force the closing law, as applied to
saloons and barber shops.
One barber and a few saloonkeepers
were arrested. A number of original
schemes were attempted by the dis
pensers of drinks to evade the law, but
nearly all came to grief. The closing
law will be fought.

ST. PETERSBURG, April %, 11:25 p.
m.-Not only the future of the war In
the far east, but the fate of the whole
program of internal reform to which
Emperor Nicholas stands committed

preaching sea battle between Rojest-
vensky and Togo. The government un-

victory decisive enough to change the
war situation.
The liberals are impatient at the de-
lay and suspicious of every move of
the government. They are convinced
that If victory comes the bureaucracy,
to which the realization of reforms has
been consigned by the emperor, will be
able, despite the clamor throughout the
country, to keep the execution Of these
reforms in their own hands, which, of
course, in their opinion, would mean
their eventual dissipation in a laby-

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, April %.
Joseph Jefferson died at 6:15 tonight
after being unconscious all day. At
his bedside when he died were his wife
and two of his sons, Charles B. and
Frank jefferson, Mrs. Nellie Symons,
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, DIR. r.
B. Potter and his faithful old servant,
Carl Ketteler
Monday night on a special train for
Buzzard's Bay, Mass, accompanied by
all the members of the family who are
here. Local actors will furnish a
casket for the deceased.
Change for Worse Saturday
Mr.. Jefferson's condition Saturday
night grew steadily worse and the
family who had retired were sum-
moned from their beds and DIR. Potter
was called. The patients condition
continued to grow worse all through
today and the brief bulletins from the
bedside contained no words of en-
couragement.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson which
ended in his death was contracted, 1t
is believed, while on a recent visit to
his son Charles at Hobe sound, few
miles above Palm Beach, where he
went to meet his friend ex-President
Cleveland.
1t is believed that from slight in
discretion in his eating there, he en-
countered an attack of Indigestion
Since his return to his home his con-
dition grew steadily worse with slight
rallies until the end came.
1t was on April 1 that Mr. Jefferson
went to Hobe sound to meet Mr.. Cleve-
land and other friends at the home Of
Charles B. jefferson. The party spent
about week there and during that
time there were fishing expeditions, Mr..
jefferson appeared active, but as he had
been resting at his home at Palm
Beach and had almost recovered his
strength from the illness which pulled
him down last spring he was overcon-
fident and overexerted himself. 1t was
at supper there one night when he ate
something which it Is thought brought
on the attack of indigestion.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-24
Returns to His Home

When Mr. Jefferson became i'll he re-
turned at once and was taken to his
room on the second floor of the cottage,
which is only 1000 feet from the ocean,
where he could watch the sea. The
weather was favorable throughout his
illness
DIR. Potter, the family physician at
the Florida home, lived three miles
from The Reefs and went occasionally
to the bedside of his patient. feeling
that Mr.. Jefferson might survive. But
when the first critical period occurred
he spent most of his time there and
called DR.. Worley of st. Augustine, a
specialist, for a consultation. DR..
Worley went to Palm Beach, arriving
there last Monday and leaving there
the following morning. thinking that
Mr.. Jefferson might recover.
1t was the heroic fight the veteran
actor was making against death and
his great determination to recover iii
order that he might reach his north
ern home that resulted in the few
temporary changes for the better. On
Thursday he was we'll enough to take
nourishment and to retain it. At one
time he called for chicken broth and
then thought he was well enough to
eat meat But this was denied him.
DR.. Potter was so confident Thursday
at four o'clock that he told a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press at
the time that he believed Mr.. Jeffer-
son would recover. But the next day
brought the most serious and last
change for the worse and from then
Mr.. Jefferson became restless.
Sketch of His Life
Joseph Jefferson was born in Phila-
delphia, February 20, 1929. He was pri-
vately educated and was early upon
the stage, his first public appearance
being as a miniature of T. d, Rice in
one of the latter's "Jim Grow" enter
tainments at Washington. d. c. In
1S43 he became a member of a band of
strolllng players that gave primitive
entertainments through Mississippi and
Texas and followed the United States
army into Mexico.
on his return to the states he ap-
peared at the Arch Street theater.
Philadelphia, and directed the perform
ances at Peale's museum in that city.
He became known as an excellent
stock actor, and in 1851 played Marroll
In "a New Way to Pay Old Debts, "
to the Sir Giles overreach of Junius
Brutus Booth.
Beginning Of Prominence
Jefferson's prominence began with
his creation OF Asa Trenchard in "Our
American Cousin" in which part he
appeared first on October 10. 1858, and
which eliminated from the stage the
traditional caricature of Yankee char
acter. He later appeared in the parts
he has since made famous. Newman

able, despite the clamor throughout the
country, to keep the execution Of these
reforms in their own hands, which, OF
course in their opinion, would mean
their eventual dissipation in a laby-
rinth of endless commissions. More
over they believe that the emperor
might again be persuaded to listen to
those who are clamoring for repre-
sentation.
Arrests by Hundreds
Practically the interior administra-
ton is being conducted through a po-
lice regime. Already there are every
where evidences of return to Won
Plehve methods. Domiciliary visits and
arrests by scorces and hundredes are
reported in every part of the empire,
and meetings of all classes of people
are forbidden and broken up by the
police under the direction of the local
governors.
Even zemstvo meetings at Vladimir,
Elizabethpol, Orel, Tifiis and Livadia
have been closed.
The government argues that it can
not fold it's arms and see the flames OF
revolution famed by agitators but 1t
is noticeable that such spokesmen of
reaction as Prince Mestchoisky editor
of the Grashsanin) are again boldly
proclaiming the doctrine of representa-
tion. characterizing the constitution
alists and "Intelligents" as lunatics.
Plan Extensive Demonstration
Russia has become a vast lunatic
asylum" says the paper, "and unless
many people are locked up and placed
out of harms way there is no predict
ing where all this idiocy will end"
Should RojestvenslSy be defeated, on
the contrary, the Liberals believe that
the bureaucracy would capitulate and
that peace and a constitution would
come.
In the meantime the Easter holidays
and May day are awaited with ex-
treme anxiety both by the authorities
and the people. The Social Democrats
and revolutionaries have planned
demonstrations on an extensive scale,
armed with revolvers and bombs,
which have been smuggled into the
country to fight the police and troops
in case they should attempt to inter-
fere with the demonstrations.
Trepoff Expects Uprising
The revolutionaries seem to have
plenty of funds furnished both from
abroad and by wealthy sympathizers
in Russia.
The widest stories of plans for blow
ing up members of the imperial family,
ministers and palaces, and of pillage
and murder of the nobility and the
wealthy are current, especially in aris-
tocratic drawing rooms, and many
society people, thoroughly frightened,
have already made preparations to go
abroad.
Large reinforcements of troops, es-
pecially of Cossacks, have been brought
to st. Petersburg. Arrests and
searches of the lodgings of suspects
although he is taking every measure
of precaution, does not seem to know
exactly what to expect That he an
ticipates trouble and bloodshed is ap-
parent from the fact that he has noti-
fed all manufacturers to guard against
incendiarism, and through house por-
ters has warned every family that
women and children must remain off
the street May day.
