THE PHILADELPHIA FIGHT
Mayor Weaver Receives a Check in
 the Way of an Injunction.

Philadelphia, Penn. May 24.-The gas lease fight vas carried into the courts today and in consequence the two directors appointed by Mayor Weaver last evening are out of office and the directors who were dismissed have again taken up the duties of their positions. Late in the day, Mayor Weaver, accompanied by Former Judge James Gay Gordon, went to New York for consultation with EIihu Root the mayors special counsel. What the next move will be, cannot be foresha- dowed. The leaders of the republican organization announce that their lines remain unbroken. that the gas lease will be passed over the mayors veto next week, end that the lease will be put into operation. The city employees felt much relieved as the day wore on to learn that the mayor had taken no further action with regard to the re- movGl of heads of other departments.
 The first move of the day was the appearance before Judge Robert RaI- ston, attorneys for Peter E. Costello and David J. Smythe, the dismissed direc- tors, who applied for a preliminary injunction against the mayor and A. Lincoln Acker and Sheldon Potter their successors jn office, restraining Messrs Acker and Potter from assum- ing the duties of their respective offic- es and restraining the mayor and all other city employees from aiding them in carrying out such intentions Judge Ralston granted temporary restrain ing order and fixed next Monday morn ing as the time for the defendants to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent. Attorneys for the busted directors lost no time in the preparation of papers to be served on the defendants.
 Regarding the injunction MT Weaver said:
 T am still mayor of the city. and I mean to exercise all rights of my of flee. Any injunction cannot prevent me from doing my duty"
 As an evidence of the view the may or takes of the situation he ordered this afternoon that matters pertaining to the two departments requiring i'm mediate action be brought to his mo- tice al once, thereby assuming per sonal charge of those branches of the city government pending the outcome of the legal complications.
 Leaders of the organization were in conference all day and conferences were held tonight. One of the most important gatherings of the day was held in the offi-e of United States Sem ator Penrose, where State Insurance Commissioner Israel w. Durham, the republican organization leader met all the ward leaders.

GREAT BATTLE.
Newspaper Correspondents as Usual
 Are Muzzled.

St. Petersburg, May 24.-News from the front continues to point to the proximity of fighting on a large scale. Lieutenant General Linevitch sent Lieutenant General Rennenkampfs S cossacks on a daring expedition around Field Marshal Oyama's left Rennen- kampf succeeded in getting to the rear of the Japanese, but paid dearly, his cossacks being badly cut up.
 Many believe that General Line witch Is trying to take tS. offensive out of Field Marshal Oyama's hands The latter has made all preparations against possible interruption of his communications and there is a cessa- tion of transports from Japanese ports All endorsements available and i'm mense quantities of provisions and munitions of war have been landed at Ynkow and Dalny since Vice Admiral Rojestvensk appeared in the Straits of Malacea.
 Newspaper correspondents at the front are prevented by the censor from telegraphing any intelligent view of the situation and this mas always been 9 recursor of important developments. General LineVitch has taken far great CT precautions than did General Kuro- patkin to prevent his plans leaking out.

RUSSIAN ASSASSINATION
This Time not the TerroriSts but Re.
 vengeful Armenians.

St Petersburg, May 24.-Though no details of the assa assination of Prince Nakachidze, governor of Baku, Cau- casia, st Baku, on Wednesday have been received, the impression here is that the outrage was the work of the Armenian revolutionary committee in revenge for the attitude taken by the prince during the racial war between the Armenians and Tartars in Febru- ary last. and is not attributable to the ter are at present extremely active in many parts of the empire
 The Armenians laid the resposibiI- ity for the deaths of those slain in February at the door of Prince Naka- begun against the the prince before the senate tribunal at St Petersburg in behalf of the children of Lalaieff, a Baku millionaire. whose house was stormed and burned and himself, his wife and parents killed during the riots. In the suit damages to the amount of $12,500 were claimed it being main tained that the governor instead of performing his duty by stopping the massacre, actually melted the Tartars to attack the Armenians.
 Prince Nakachidze was popular among the Russian element in the Caucasus. He was 9 man of high spirit, and in spite of the hatred of the powerful Armenian revolutionary com mittee Ee disdained military protec- ton and appeared on the streets unat- tended. He refused to heed warnings and the entreaties of his friends

they were asked the same questions and vixen they again refused to reply. Attorney Mayer announced that he would make a motion that they be ar rested for contempt of court. While the attorneys for the plaintiff in the injunction proceedings have everything prepared awaiting an order of commit ment from Judge Kohlsaat the legal advisers of the men have been equally busy and are ready to file writs of ha- beas corpus before another federal judge if the men are committed to jail. The writs of habeas corpus will, in all probability be heard before Judge LandiS.
 United States deputy marshals to- day commenced serving notices on sixty teamSterS who have been cited for contempt of court in violating the mjunctions of Judge Kohlsaat prohibit Ing them from interfering with wagons of the seven express companies and of the employers teaminS company. The raen are cited to show cause on May 31, at 10 o'clock why they should not be punished for contempt of court.

HAWKLIkE VIGILANCE.
Oyan1a and Lirevitch Have Their Eyes
 on Each Other.

Gunshu Pass, May 24, (Manchuria. ) The situation is very tense and the rival commanders are watching each other like hawks. Field Marshal Oyama Eos made no decisive move. Lieutenant General Rennenkampff however, made a bold reconnaissance al the cost of several hundred casual ties, but the correspondent of the As sociated Press was not allowed to tele- graph the results obtained. It is pos sible that 1t was Rennenkampff's cav airy which penetrated southwest of FakoInan.
 \ dispatch from Tokio on May 22 said: "A body of the enemys cavalry, dismounted, attacked Tangshed on the right bank of the Liao river, thirteen miles southwest of Fakomen. on the morning of May 20.

ROJESTVENSkY HAS PASSED BE-
 YOND THE DANGER LINE

St. Petersburg, May 24-In naval cir cles it is now generally assumed that Vfce-Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron is in the Pacific ocean steaning north ward and giving the Pescadores, For mosa. and Luchu islands a wide berth in order to minimize the danger of d concentrated torpedo attack under cov- CT of these islands and to force Vice Admiral Togo, should he elect to ac- cept battle, to meet him in the open.
 All idea that the Russian admiral will attempt to force passage of the Korean straits has been abandoned. Both Perouse Strait between the is lands of Hokkaido and Sakhalin and the Tsugaru Straits between the is lands of Hokkaido and Hondo, were re- connoitred by the cruisers and destroy CTS at VladiVostok and the results com- municated to Admiral Rojestvensky before he left the coast of French Indo China

THE DEED OF A MANIAC
He Commits Suicide After Slaughter
 ing His Family.

San Rafael, Cal, May 24-Edwin Stephens, who lived at Ross Valley, Marin county, this morning murdered his wife. shot his five children, three of whom died instantly, attempted to murder a passing milkman, and then ended his own life after firing two bullets into his body.
 Stephens was about thirty-five years old and was formerly a book agent but lately was said to be connected with a rubber goods house of San Francisco The family also conducted a chicken ranch at their home in Ross Valley and had a flock of 1000 fowls This morning a passing milkman was startled to see Stephens emerge from his home, revolver in hand, and fire up on him. The milkman whipped up his horses and Stephens pursued him for a couple of hundred vars, firing as he ran. Stephens then halted in the road way. placed the revolver to his breast and discharge the weapon. The bullet did not end his life and he sent a sec ond shot through his brain
 When the neighbors and officers en- tered the home of Stephens they came upon a shocking scene. In all of the beds were members of the unfortunate famil, each with a revolver wound in the head. The wife and three chil- dren were dead and it is believed that two of the surviving children cannot live. The children ranged from one to eleven years in age. There is at pres ent no known reason for the tragedy, but the theory is advanced that Steph- ems became suddenly insane, and his murderous attack on the unoffending milkp1an appears to substantiate the belief.

The President Asked to Straighten Out the TanqIe
POSSIBLE WANT OF POWER
The Matter However Is ReceivipS Consideration and at any Rate the Next Congress Will Be Recommend ed to Enact New Insurance Laws.

Washington, May 24--An effort was made today to induce the president to take an active interest in the compIl- cations which hove arisen in the af- fairs Of the Ecuitable Life Assurance cosiety. Clarence Whitman president of the Merchants Association of New York had a conference with the presi- dent on the subject Details of the conference were not obtainabIe. but it is known that MT. Whitman urged the president to take up the subject with a view either to ordering a government investigation or making recommenda- tions to congress on the subject of in- surance legislation.
 MT. Whitman's suggestion was not the first of its kind that the president has received. In a letter from a prom inent New York man, whose name is not disclosed, the president recently was urged strongly to institute an in Vestigation Of the Equitable's affairs by gove rnment officials. IL can be said that, up to this time. the president has not seen his ws-- clea- to the taking of any action in the case of the Equit- able company specifically.
 Some general investigation of insur- ance corporations has been made al- ready by the bureau of corporations. Tut 1t is understood. that the inforna- ti"n obtained was purely of a general character such as might be gathered by anybody sufficiently interested In the subject to make inquiries necessary to develop facts.
 Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of corporations. is engaged now in an effort to determine whether the govern ment has authority to make an investi- gation of a specific character into the insurance question without action On the matter by congress. The impres- sion is general in official circles that the commissioner probably would have no power to make such an inquiry un- less it first. was authorized by congress
 What, if an-. action may be taken by the government at the instance of the president cannot be indicated at this tince. It is understood however. that 1t will not be unlikely that the president may discuss the subject and make some recommendations regarding 1t in a message to congress

In the Direction of a Set tIement of the Strike
NOTHING CAME OF 1T
And Nothing Is Expected now Except Fight to Finish A Temporary Paralysis of the Lumber Business in Chicago.

Chicago, May 24.-Final rejection of the unions demands especially those of the express drivers, was officially announced today by the employers. They demanded practically unconai- tionaI surrender. Neither side in the strike made direct step toward peace and each was apparently waiting the next move of it's opponent. The en- ployers sent their goods all over the city under police protection without encounterfng violence.
 There was one peace effort today, and it was enveloped in mystery. It was said "a prominent business man" was making efforts to induce the nan agers of the express companies to make terms satisfactory te the strikin g drivers and that he had promised theFA good news" Nothing came of the at tempt. however and there was no good news tonight for either side.
 The strike tE the lun.oer district spread today with great rapidity and practically all business of that kind is at q standstin. Some few lumber yards are still in operation. but their volume of business is SC small as to amount to practically nothing A 
 door factories were compelled te short en operations today and by Friday. at least v:& be compelled to close entire ly il the supply of lumber is net large ly increased. Tine lumber yards Eaa@e little ef1ert to transact business today and were waiting for the drivers to be sent them by the employers teaminS company. A number of these 1t is ex pected vii! te ct work tomorrow and business wi!l be resumed iz a small degree, at least.
 One cause for the lack Of energy on the part of the employers ia the lumber district today was that the city was rot ch!e to afford them police protection. Mayor Dunne provided against this contingency tonight by is- suing a call for 1000 extra policemen, who will be sworn in as rapidly as applications are filed by suitable men. This will be the second 1.00e extra po- Hcemen sworn in since the commence ment of the strike. Sheriff Barrett to- day swGre in several hundred deputies. the largest number at any one time since the beginning Of trouble.
 President c. P. Shea of the teams ters union, James B. Barry. business agent of the express drivers union; Bernard MulHgan, president of the ex- press drivers union and John H. DoA- ahue member of the same union, will appear before Judge Kohlsaat in the United States district court tomorrow morning. Attorney Mayer acting for the employers association will ask that the men be sent to jail on a charge of contempt of court in refusing to an swer questions before the master in chancery which questions they had previously been ordered to answer by court.
 The men were ordered to make an swer on Tuesday, although they claim a personal privilege in refusing. Today
