HOPELESS CHAOS RULES
Europe Eyes With Grave Uneasiness
the Fate of the Romanoffs
Swaying in the
Balance

Special Gable to The Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1s.-Pri-
vate kilograms today describe the stu
alton in the highest quarters as hope
less confusion and decentralization"
This, in fact, was true of the condi-
ton before yesterdays tragedy added
personal terror to the absence of all
cohesion and definite purpose.
1t was knowledge of the latter peril
Gus feature which caused grave un-
easiness for the past few days in all
European chancellories. Europe can
not look on with Indifference when the
Russian empire stands in imminent
danger of being plunged into anarchy.
At the same time the delicacy and
difficulty of the task makes it almost
insuperable. There is reason to be-
leve the kaiser has already placed be-
fore Emperor Nicholas the public Ver-
sion of recent events in Russia which
are matters of common knowledge
to the rest of the world, but which
there is reason to suspect have not
reached imperial ears.

than a question of peace or war in the
far east. 1t involves above all the fate
of the Romanoff dynasty and the pres
ervation of the unity of the Russian
empire. European diplomacy, in fact,
is seriously considering the proposition
of what shall be done if the Russian
government is overthrown and a state
of anarchy presents itself. French in
formation in regard to Russia's domes-
tic condition is probably the most re-
liable of any of the foreign powers,
and it's nature for the past few days
lest apprehension. 1t is to the effect
that the government is now without
a head.
There is nothing, for instance, except
the fear of assassination, to prevent
Gov. Gen. Trepoff from making him
hours notice.
1t may be said officially Europe re-
CARDS Grand Duke Sergius' death with
unanimous satisfaction. Such also is
the opinion of the public. The press
today teens with records of his tyran-
MES and atrocities
Abdul Hamid's record is scarcely so
black as that piled up against this
enemy of human liberty and robber of
the empire.
1t is easy to outline the future pro-
gram of his executioners. They will
wait a few days to see if the en-
peror makes liberal concessions to the
popular demand. If he fails them the
work of assassination will go on. They
will not stop at taking the lives Of
such men as the Grand Duke Vladi-
mir, Alexander MichaeloVitch and Gov
ernor General Trepoff. They announce
their intention to strike down the
dowager empress, whose influence over
the emperor, combined with that of
Grand Duke Sergius, has long kept
him on the side of the reactionaries.
Two things the czar must do imme-
diately if he would check the program
of dynamite versus rifles. He must re-
move forthwith Grand Duke Sergius'
two creatures, now endowed with
despotic power-Gov. General Trepoff
and M. Bouligan, minister of interior.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-19

1t was announced from Berlin yes
terday that Prince Friedrich Leopold
was to go to the far east by steamer
from Genoa, owing to the difficulty in
sending the princely train quickly over
the congested Siberia line, and that he
would first pay visit to Emperor
Nicholas.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg early
this morning, however threw differ
ent light on the princes visit to St.
Petersburg. 1t was intimated that the
prince was the bearer of personal rep
resenta tions from Emperor William on
the subject of peace, and it was added
that it was positively known that
the question of peace was discussed
Friedrich Leopold yesterday, though it
was impossible to ascertain what, if
any, conclusions were reached.
The official explanation of Prince
Friedrich Leopolds return to Berlin
Is that he has decided to go to Man
thority for the statement that the
prince was the bearer of a letter from
Emperor William. In diplomatic cir
cles there exists suspicion, which
which amounts almost to a conviction,
that Emperor William has undertaken
peace negotiations in some FORM al
though the few persons in a position
to know naturally declined to furnish
any information on the subject.
The foreign office insists that there
is absolutely nothing in the shape of
peace negotiations under way or III
contempla ton.

Bunkers and Frank French of San
Francisco, accused of having accepted
bribes from Joseph S. Jordan in con-

Superior Judge Hart's court today for
arraignment on the indictments re-
curious throng crowded the courtroom.
Senator Emmons was accompanied by

attendant during the course of the in

three associates.

Emmons Arraigned Last


Emmons was the last of the quartet
to be arraigned and Morehouse inter-
posed a demurrer in his case. EN-
mons left the court room at once, ac-
companied by his wife, but French,
Wright and Bunkers remained to hear
the arguments.
At this point Attorney Jacobs asked
permission to withdraw the demurrer
interposed in Wright's behalf and a
continuance requested until next
Thursday was granted.
In opening his argument on demurrer
against the Indictment Morehouse said
that while his plea would relate to
Emmons and Bunkers, it would apply
to all the cases as they are Identical.
He then based his demurrers on the
ground that no offense known to the
laws of the state had been committed
and that the facts as set forth in the
indictments were insufficient. One of
the points on which Morehouse laid
particular stress was that as the in
vestigation of building and loan asso-
Citations was before the committee on
retrenchments and commissions it was
not an officially legislative matter. He
declared that no member of the COM
mittee could give an official vote on
building and loan associations as the
consideration of these corporations had
not been referred to the committee by
the senate. Morehouse made refer
ence of authorities to uphold the con-
tentlon that even the congress of the
United States cannot investigate pri-
vate corporations. that being a matter

Enters General Demurrer

After the indictment has been read
Judge Hart asked Senator Bunkers
what his plea was. Before the de-
fendant could respond Attorney More
house stated that he would enter a
special and general demurrer to the in
dictment, and asked if the court was
inclined to dispose of Bunkers' case at
orce or arraign the other three ac-
cused senator's.
Judge Hart announced that all the
accused would be arraigned before talk
ing up argument on demurrer in Bunk
er's case. The arraignments proceeded,
the indictment against Senator Wright
being next considered. Attorney F. G.
Jacobs, representing Wright, announced
that he would interpose a demurrer
on behalf of his client, but that More
house would argue the demurrers in all
four cases.
When the indictment against Senator
French had been read Attorney George
Collins of San Francisco, representing
French. said he would ask for time.
He said he might want until next Sat
urday to move to set aside the indict-
ment.
District Attorney Seymour announced
that while he was desirous of showing
the opposing counsel the usual cour-
tesies he would be frank and state that
he did not propose to be placed in a
position where he could not elect to try
any one of the defendants first, and
expressed a desire to have the trials of
all the accused senators set for about
the same time. Finally Judge Hart
granted a continuance in the French

But, my dear good Odo, woman's
husband is not the man a wife dresses
fer. She makes herself as attractive
as she can for everybody worth know
ing. You must be an extraordinary
person if you suppose that | am going
in for the red and green transforma-

you. A woman who is really a woman
and not hockey player has to watch
the fashion as closely as cook
watches a pot; and the married
woman of the present day must do all
she can to look like the unmarried
woman of yesterday. 1t is the mar
ried women who are the most popular
with men. 1t is the married women
who control politics, the army, litera-
ture and the stage. Therefore can't

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practlcing physician to rice
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phenom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tances by rail. One of his specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
the following medicinal plants in just the
right proportion without the use of alco-
hol his prescription invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public In shape easily
to be procured he established labora-
tory at Buffalo, N. Y, where regularly

accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts

PAID TOO MUCH FOR A HAT.
London Judge Makes Ruling on What
Husband Must Buy.

A Streatham woman whose husband
had forbidden her to pledge his credit,
says the London Mirror, pleaded at
Bloomsbury county court the other
day that an account owing to firm of
Oxford street diapers was for "neces-
saries,' for which her husband was
liable.
Judge Bacon -"Can a stole be a
necessity for woman? Can a sun
shade? Can laces and gloves at fifty
cents pair?
These are all mere extravagances,"
he continued. Here is 1899 for a
woman's hat. Surely for $3.50 she
could get a hat which would fascinate
all the neighborhood. All these arti-
cles are not dress, but superstruc-
lures on dress.
"She must have been provided with
necessary dress or she would not have
put on gloves. She could not have
wandered about in gloves and sun
shade.
The woman was ordered to pay the
bill.
