Was naiority Report.
The opinion was majority rano,.
Justice Robert W. Steele holding th.,
the assembly should itself rule nno a'
the motion to adopt the Alexander -
port.
Nineteen of the twenty-five Remh
lican members Of the Legislature WI,
favored seating Lieut.. Gov. McDon,n
as governor, and thus disposing Of ths
contest over the seat between Alva "A
AIMS and James II. Peabody, met !,
causcus last night and renewed ths,
pledge to stand together in voting on
the reports from the contest committs.
Several of those present spoke fl,
the sincerity of the three absent mem.
bers, who, they asserted, were una.
voidably detained elsewhere. From
unimpeaohable sources it is Learned
that the twenty-five members referred
to signed an agreement which, in
effect, was to work for the seating Of
Mcdonald, and to prevent, if possible,
the seating Of Peabody.
Will Vote as Unit.
The persons who are authority for
the above statement also say that these
so-called anti Peabody Republicans
will vote as q unit against every report
from the contest committee, which, il
done, will not only defeat PEABODY,
but will allow Adams to retain ths
governorship he now holds.
After voting down the reports mo.
ton to adjourn the joint assembly sine
die, it is said, will be made and sup.
ported by the Mcdonald men and the
Democrats. This will perhaps end tho
contest. However, the Peabody men
smile when the plan above is unfolded
to them, and confidently declare that
the agreement will be broken at the
critical moment and enough and more
Mcdonald men will swing round to
seat their man. They had thirty-nins
in caucus last night, with two Others
absent but accounted for, and resolved
to use every endeavor to force the issue
and test the Mcdonald men.
It is probable that the whole matter
will be disposed of in the next forty.
eight hours.

COMM ENDS MORTON
IN COMPLIMENTARY LETTERS

President Roosevelt Praises Former
Railroad Official, Secretary Of the
Navy and Chairman Of Equitable
Life.
Washington, June 22.-President
Roosevelt has taken occasion to ex-
press himself in most positive terms
complimentary of the integrity and
ability of Paul Morton, former vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad Company, and now
concluding his duties as secretary of
the navy that he may assume the
Craftsmanship of the board of directors
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of New York.
These expressions are contained in
two letters, one addressed to the at
torney general and the other to Mr..
Morton. The letters were made pub
lie yesterday by the administration,
together with several others, which,
taken together, show the precise point
of difference between the Department
of Justice and Messrs. Harmon and
Judson, who recently resigned as spe-
cial counsel for the government in the
rebate case involving the Santa Fe
road and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company.
The special counsel wished to bring
contempt proceedings against the Of
ficers of the road, which would have
included Mr. Morton. Their position
was that the testimony adduced before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
established violation of the court
order of March rs, 1902, restraining
the company from executing any
agreement to transport interstate traf'
fic at rates lower than the published
tariff of the road. This Testimony,
they contended, constituted prima
facie case against the officers of the
road and the only way to ascertain
their guilt or innocence was Through
contempt proceedings.
Attorney General Moody opposed
bringing the contempt proceedings on
the ground that while the evidence
before the commission might show q
violation of the injunction by the road
| it contained nothing charging any Off
Ger of the company with such viola
ton. President Roosevelt took the
same view.
Both the president and the attorney
general agreed that contempt pro
ceedings should be instituted imper
sonally against the corporation; in
both the Colorado Fuel and the Inter
national Harvester case. The latter
case. the president says, stands ex
actly on the same footing and Involves
practically all of the Western roads.

CAR HEARS ADDRESS
OF THE zEMsTvo DELEGATION
Pledges Himself to Representatives
CounciI-Makes Plain Answer
to a Plain Speech

st. Petersburg, June 20.-Emperor
Nicholas received the Zemstvo deputa-
tion yesterday.
The reception took place at noon In
the Alexander palace at P9terhc,.
Prince Troubteskoy, president OF the
Zemstvo Congress of the Moscow gov
ernment, in behalf of the Moscow dele
cation, addressed the emperor in
long speech, in which he described the
serious internal conditions which have
caused the Zemstvos to approach his
majesty directly.
The emperor evidently was much
impressed. NJ. Fedeoroff, representing
the st. Petersbug delegation, also
spoke. His majesty replied, express
ing deep regret at the great sacrifice
consequent on the war and above
everything at the disaster to the Rus
sian navy
The emperor said:
II am happy to have heard you 1
have no doubt you are guided by an
ardent sentiment of love for the faith
erland in addressing me directly.
Il have been grieved in my whole
soul with all my people at the calami-
ties which the war has brought upon
Russia, and at all those which may
disturbances.
"Dissipate your thoughts. My will
is sovereign and it is my unalterable
will that the admission of elected rep
resentatives to the works of state
shall be regularly accomplished.
81 watch daily and devote myself
to this work. You may announce that
to all your friends in country and
town.
81 am as firmly convinced that Rus
sia will emerge strengthened from
the trials she is now enduring, and
! that there will be established soon, as
formerly, a union between the en-
peror and all Russia, a communion be-
tween myself and the men of Russian
soil.
"This union and communion must
serve as a basis for the original prin-
ciples of Russia.
'T have faith in your desire to help
me in this task"
Upon completing his remarks the
emperor graciously greeted the indi-
vidual members of the delegation,
shaking hands Iith them and having
a few cordial words for each.
The fact that the emperor not only
received the bold, plain spoken ad-
! dress without so much as an lnulca-
ton of his disapprobation, but ex-
pressed full sympathy with the efforts
to emeliorate the deplorable state OF
affairs depicted therein, and in the
most direct and explicit fashion re-
newed his promise to summon the rep
resentatiyes of the people, made the
deepest impression on the delegation.
The delegation is now preparing an
account of the audience which will be
presented to the st. Petersburg douma
tomorrow, and in accordance with
their instructions, as well as the i'm
perial wish, will be communicated to
all the Zemstvos and mayors OF
Russia.

MODERN WooDMENs
Proceedings of Head Camp at Mllwau-
kee Meeting.

Milwaukee, June 22.-The head
camp of Modern Woodmen of America
opened it's fourteenth bieunial conven-
ton at the Davidson Theatre Tuesday
with between 600 and 700 delegates,
representing over 1000 camps and
nearly 100000 members present. Mayor
David S. Rose welcomed the delegates
to the city. Responses were nTkGe by
Head Consul A. r. Talbot for the Mod
ern Woodmen and Head Clerk Charles
Hawes of Rock Island for the head Of
fee.
The report of Head Consul A. r. Tai
bot was devoted to a review of the
work during the biennial term. Speak
ing of the Capitalization of the work
of the medical department, he favored
the discontinuance of state head ply
sicians, all applications to go to the
supreme medical directors at the head
Office.
He favored an interval of three or
four years between the meetings of the
head camp, in the interests of econ
omy. During the biennial the new
members numbered 121 ,639. and 1,4S2
new camps were chartered. The society,
he said, now includes 14.53 per cent
of all those eligible for membership in
This was followed by the report Oh
Head Clerk Hawes. The report con-
tanned the following:
The insurance in force at the close
of the biennial term aggregated ST.
136,67S,500. The society paid 7,051
death claims, amounting to $12,663,-
603, as against $500 claims, amounting
to $10,736,435, during the term preced-
ing.
The receipts of the benefit fund to-
tailed $12,567,703, as against S7,570,9SS
during the preceding biennial. The
balance at the close of the term was
$S07,5S7 The receipts of the general
fund were s1,674, ,299, as against 1,503,-
OIL during the preceding term, the
balance being S2S9,994 The lapsed
(benefcial) membership during the
two years was III AIS, and the lapsed
insurance SIG, 500. The average
per capita payment to the benefit fund
was $1.2G1a, as against so cents dur
ing the term preceding. The increase
was due to the new rates becoming eff
fective January 1, 1904, when the rates
of the members were increased from
| twenty-five per cent. to seventy-five per
cent. at the various ages. There were
| 1891 deaths from accident and S04
[ uedluS SuiCluc. vi llt ldIJcI A1o
were farmers-30.55 per cent. of the
total number. The farmers also led in
accidental deaths-8S5.
DR.. Warner Of Kansas addressed the
| Woodmen convention in the afternoon,
discussing the merits of national fra
ternal sanitarium for tuberculosis suf-
/ ferers. In the course of his remarks
the doctor said that of the more than
\ 100000 members of the Modern Wood
men of America more than 100000
were doomed to die Of consumption.
The Woodmen paid last May $4,000
In death claims due to consumption in
April.
The doctor told how the Santa Fe
Railroad Company had given 81 1,000,-
900 hotel and site in the city of Las
Vegas, New Mexico for sanitarium pur-
poses, and asked that each mem
Der of the Woodmen contribute
one penny a month to fund for the
maintenance of the institution.

Oyama Advancing.

st. Petersbug, June 20.-So far as
indicated here there have been no
moves in the direction of suspension
of hostilities. No confirmation has
been received here Of the report from
Godzyadani of June 18th that uegotia-
tions for an armistice had been begun
between Field Marshal Oyama and
General. Linevitch.
On the contrary, the latest news
from the front leaves little doubt
that Oyama's columns are in motion
and dlsquieting rumors are current
here regarding the position of the
Russian army, according to which
Oyama has succeeded in pushing both
his TANKS far forward, respectively op
posite Kuanchengtsu and Kirin
whence he can draw moose around
the troops below this line.

Uncle Sans Drummers.

Washington, June 20.-The Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has COM
pleted preparations for sending five
special agents abroad to investigate
trade conditions, with the object Of
promoting the foreign commerce of the
United States. The five agents Sc
lected are Prof. Lincoln Hutchinson,
University Of California; Charles M.
Pepper, Harry e Barrill, Raymond F.
Crist and DR.. EDWARD Bedloe.
AS the appropriation is only $780,
900 it was decided to limit the several
fields of investigation in order that the
best results may be obtained for pre-
sentation to Congress early in the ap-
preaching session. Messrs. Burrill
and Crist will go to the Orient. Pro-
fessor Hutchinson will go to South
America, and already has entered upon
his work. He will visit all the sea
ports of the Atlantic and Pacific coast
of that continent. Mr.. Pepper will &c
to Canada and Mexico, extending his
Investigations to Central America. DR.
Bedloe will be sent to the West Indies
Venezuela, British, Dutch and French
Guiana.
It is expected that the investigation
will be completed by the close of the
present year and that all of the agents
will have their final reports ready fol
Congress in January.
Secretary Metcalf has prepared de
tailed instructions for the agents
which require them to make full inves
legations into American trade with the
countries to be visited, what proper
ton of the entire trade is shared b,
the United States and what method:
may be adopted to increase its volume
