ORDINANCE WITHDRAWN
WEAVERs COMPLETE VICTORY
 OVER HIS OPPONENTS.
Measure Authorizing Lease of City Gas Works, Which Caused Such strenuous Time. iS Dead
 for Sure.

Philadelphia, June 1.-Without dis senting vote both branches of the city council today withdrew the ordinance authorizing the lease of the city gas works to the United Gas Improvement Company for a period of seventy-five years. for which privilege the company was to pay the city $25,000.000. Select council also unanimously confirmed the appointment of Colonel Sheldon Potter as director of public safety and A. Lincoln Acker as director of public works.
 The galleries of the council chambers were packed to suffocation with specta- tors but there was no disturbance and the action of the municipal legislators was received in silence.
 An unusual feature of the meeting of councils was the presence of Mayor Weaver. accompanied by his attorney, in a room adjoining the upper branch during the vote on his appointments. He was prepared to appear before the body If necessary, but was not called on to do so.
 Another important move was made in common council when Alexander de Haven. chairman of the Finance Com nittee, introduced a resolution fixing the tax rate for next year at $1,50 on $1OO. the present rate. The Republi- can leader who advocated the gas lease extension claimed that money was needed immediately. to meet expenses and asserted that If the ordinance was defeated it would be necessary to in crease the tax rate. Mayor Weaver, on the other hand. contended that the existing rate was sufficient.

MoRT0N's REsIGNATTOg.
ofIlcial Correspondence in the Matt<
 fs Made Public.

Omcfal Correspondence in the Matter
 is Made Public. Washington, June 1.--Secretary Loeb today made public at the White House the correspondence which passed be- tween the President and Secretary Morton concerning the latter's resig- nation as secretary of the navy. It follows:
 Navy, Department. Washington, May 31. 1905.
 My Dear MT. President: hereby tender my resignation as secretary of the navy, and hope that you will accept 1t, to take effect July 1, 1905.
 Business opportunities now present themselves to me which. in justice to myself and family. cannot fail to take advantage of. I have keenly en- joyed the work in the navy department and I want to thank you for the great consideration you have always shown me. I shall always consider 1t great honor to have been identified with your administration.
 With assurances of my highest re- gard. I remain,
 Very sincerely yours.
 Paul Morton. The Presidents reply: White House. Washington. June i.
 1905.
 My Dear Mir Secretary:
 In accepting your resignation I wish to thank you for yielding to my wishes by remaining so long in the cabinet. When I asked you to enter the public service I knew what sacrifice it would entail and you at that time stated pos itively that you could not remain in the cabinet more than a few months and would have to leave on March (. thank you for having. however, re- luctantly agreed with me that 1t was your duty to round an entire year of service. Your leaving is q cause of sincere regret to every man interested in the United States Navy; and I do not know an officer or man of that navy which fails to share in that re- gret. I cannot state too strongly my appreciation of the services you have rendered. or tht high standard you have consistently maintained, and the way in whiph you have kept the navy, both in its personnel and material, up to the standard. Your work has been emphatically work for the entire na- tion and ] congratulate our people that they are able to get such a type of public servant.
 With all good wishes for your fu- ture, believe me,
 Faithfully, yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt. Hon. Paul Morton.
 Secretary of the Navy.

Nothing Definite Has Yet.
 Been Done.
MANIFESTO IS EXPECTED
C0nvocati0n of a National As
 sembly Looked For.
Situation at St. Petersburg and Throughout Russia Is Crftfcai and Populace is Murmur-
 ing Thre9teninsiy.

St Petersburg, June 2.--St. Peters burg is full of rumors of the most con tradictory character regarding the prospects of peace, but in the best m formed quarters the Associated Fress was told that no definite decision nad been reached. Nevertheless, II IS per, sistently reported that an imperial manifesto may be expected within brief time.
 The ministers who went to the eoun- ell at Tsarskoe-Selo Thursday were so expectant of immediate action that the editor of The Official Messenger was in- structed to hold his forms open TOT an important announcement, but at the last moment the editor was informed that this announcement was not ready. Again at night the manifesto was ex- pected, but at o'clock this morning the editor learned that no announce ment had been made.
 This manifesto, 1t is credibly report ed, will proclaim the immediate convo- cation of a national assembly to which the uuestionofM peace or war Will De submitted, thereby shifting the burden of a decision from the shoulders of the emperor to the whole nation. robbing agitators of opportunity to make revo- 1utionary capital out of the decision whichever way 1t may be taken.
 On account of the imperative haste for the summoning of an assembly for thi spurpose. 1t would be necessary to postpone the convocation of a perma- nent zemsky zabor, which was contem- plated in the emperor's ukase of March 8, but it is probable that the first as- sembly will be able to take part in a constitutional convention and give ad- vice as to the ultimate form of a new Legislative organism. The emperor 8 advisers realize that whatever haste may be made in calling together the representatives of the people. it will not be possible for them to meet in time to forestall another battle In Manchuria, but though request for an armistice Is 8 possibility the present disposition Is to leave the matter en- tirely in the hands of the assembly, as another defeat on land unless decisive, } -crfsid not change tho situation tssrT1sake 1t much worse, while a victory for Lieutenant General Linevitch would af- ter the complexion of affairs entirely.

PORTLAND EXERCISES.
Auspicious Day for Opening of the Biz
 Fair.

EHtr.
 Portland. Ore, June With the gentle touch of a hand upon golden telegraph instrument President Roose- welt from the White House today gave the signal which formally opened to the world the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition a monument to the memo ries of Captain Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, the pioneers who one hundred years ago blazed the trail which opened up to the world the old Oregon country. A more suspicious day for the open- ing of the exposition could not have been desired.
 The exercises which preceded the formal opening were of extraordinary excellence. The speakers were Vice. President Fairbanks, Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, of the House of Represen- tatives, Senator Clark of Wyoming Congressman Tawney of Minnesota; H w. Taylor. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Departments; Governor Cham beriain of oregon and Mayor Williams of Portland.
 when President Goode of the Lewis and Clark Exposition took his position on the speakers stand to announce the Fcereh8ontes were about to commence ne was greeted with terrifflc appiaust from tens or tnousanus oi peopio' program was carried out with but few changes in the original idea. A feature which was looked forward tc with great expectancy. the playing oi America" upon the chimlng bells Tn the government building. was unavoid' ably omitted, the electrical apparatus by which the chimes were operated be- ing out of order. When everything was in readiness President Roosevelt gave the long awaited signal frou the White House.
 Almost instantly through the thou sands of miles of wire flashed the single "cIick" which formally opened the exposition, releasing hundreds oi flags to the breeze and setting the machinery in motion.

ing on the Russians, who showed signs of confusion. Our fifth torpedo fiotilla after destroying the Borodino followed in the wake of our second division, the signal reading, Something like the Russians submarines have been sight ed. Attack them" The hotilla fol- lowed and located the object. which proved to be a sinking ship with It's overturned bottom showing. Thirty survivors chung to the wreck crying for assistance. Firing ceased with the approach of darkness.
 According to orders previously given for torpedo attack after dark all the destroyer fotilla dividing itself in.o two squadrons proceeded to attack the Russians during the whole night. The Russians frustrated the first and sec- ond attacks with searchlights. A third attempt was carefully made and the Yugiri sank a ship of the Borodino type and also hit others. During the night the Russians continued to move and we preserved our enveloping move- mont some distance from the Russian position. The Russian ships headed northeast after daybreak, hoping to reach vladivostok. Our officers and men were determined that not a ship should escape and resolved not to re- lax their efforts until they nad suc- ceeded in either sinking or capturing every Russian ship.
 Our ships always kept ahead of the Russians. The battle was resumed at 2 o'clock Sunday morning twelve miles east of Chiyupyon, bay and lasted all day. Here the Russians suff cred their heaviest losses. They seemed unpre- pared to repel night attacks. During our first night attack the Russians showed nine searchlights and frustrat- Al T.

CRAwFoRD,s TRIAL.
Interesting Legal sparring Occurs in
 the Case.

Interesting Legal sparring Occurs am
 the Case.
 Washington, June 1.--When the trial of William G. Crawford, charged with conspiracy with August w. Machen and c. T. Lorenz to defraud the gov- ernment in the purchase of letter car rier's satchels, was adjourned until Monday at the close of today's session. considerable sparring had occurred be- tween counsel as to the reasons Lorenx had for volunteering his statement of the case to District Attorney Beach. Crawford's counsel, Mir. Worthington. obtained the admission from Lsorsnz that after the postal investigation was started he had called on Machen re- garding the defense that would be made but that he had not discussed the sub feet with Crawford.
 Was there any connection between the statement you made regarding the case and the fact that you have been permitted to give bail instead of going to the penitentiary with the others con- victed in the Grofr case?' asked Mir. Worthington in the cross-examination
 No connection whatever. It was dis tinctly understood that I assumed the responsibility" replied the witness.
 Lorenz. in response to further ques- tions volunteered the following:
 'T was not guilty of all the things charged in the indictment and I thought 1t but due to myself that I give full information to the government. Call 1t states evidence or anything you like. But I certainly had no idea of saving myself; no hop, of any reward because If the information I gave"
