GEAR AND PEACE.
Report That He is Bent on Prosecuting
 the War. ".

St. Petersburg June 1.--3:20 a. m.- Whether peace or the continuance of the war will be the result of yesterdays all-important conference between the emperor and his ministers at Tsarskoe- Selo hangs in doubt, the ministers who returned to St. Petersburg late at night preserving a cautious reticence over the proceedings of the council as far as the attitude of the emperor is concerned. Prince Obolonsky, who had an audience yesterday with his majesty found him resoluteIy determined on the prosecu- tion of the war.
 Various rumors as to the result of the council are current, all agreeing, however, that a continuance of the war was the first question taken. up, where- upon the peace party offered a strong line of argument which was supple mented, it is said, by dispatch Lieu tenant General Linevitch in which that commander expressed a fear as to the demoralizing effect of the naval disas- ter on the army, the news of which had already reached the troops from Vladi- Vostok and was rapidly spreading.
 Though the city is tranquil, Governor General Trepoff is continuing his pre- cautionary measures. Two additional Don Cossack regiments have arrived and the police reserves are held on duty. During the night small patrols were seen on the Nevsky Prospect and other streets.
 Alarmist rumors are af1oat as to dis affection among the marines and sail ors quartered here and the workmen are again muttering about @ general strike.
 Persistent but unconfirme6 rumors are in circulation to the effect that the protected cruiser Jemtchug has arrived at Vladivostok and private messages from that vessel are said to have been received by the relatives of her officers here, but the admiralty as yet does not include her in the list of vessels which escaped.

Apache Only Yacht That Has Not Fin-

| ished in Ocean Race. London. June 1.-The British public
 has not displayed any keen interest in
 the further proceedings of the transat-
 lantic yacht race for the Emperor of IGermany's cup since learning of the splendid feat of the American Atlantic,
 which so easily outpaced her competi- tors, but yachting circles are greatly pleased that the British boat Valhalla managed to secure third place. There is some surprise expressed at the close finishes of the five yachts which passed the line yesterday and this morning.
 With moderate breeze from the west and with all sail set, the Valhalla came booming along at a fair pace and on arriving at the line was saluted by several steamers which blew their whistles. The Erdymion, Hildegarde,
 Sunbeam, Fleur de Lys, Thistle, Ailsa
 and Utowana then arrived in the order named at short intervals, leaving one other still to pass the line. This is the

 Little hope for the Russians can be found in the latest dispatches regard ing the naval battle off Tsu island Only four of the vessels of Rojest- vensky's fleet are known to have reach ed Vladivostok, the cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat destroyers Grozny, Brava and Terosiahty. The full extent of the Russian casualties in men and officers drowned, wounded and captur- ed is not yet known. The Japanese losses, as reported from Tokio, are only three torpedo boats sunk, three officers killed and about 200 men killed or dis abled. Not one of the big fighting ships of the Japanese navy was lost. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is seriously wounded, but, it is stated from Tokio, will recover. Interest now turns to the situation in Russia as the result of the naval disaster. The emperor Wednes- day summoned to the palace at Tsar- skoe- Sslo all the members of the im- perial family, and later called into ex- traordinary council Admiral Alexieff and all ministers of state, and a series of conferences took place as to the course to be pursued. The result of these conferences is in doubt, the min isters on returning to St. Petersburg, observing a cautious reticence as to what took place. It is believed, how ever that the emperor is determined on a prosecution of the war, the govern ment fearing the effects of the disaster on the Russian people. The army in Manchuria is not yet aware of the dis aster to the navy, and, the dispatches say, is still praying for victory. The Russian press. with few exceptions is openly indignant, and is attacking the bureaucracy, one paper saying hat those guilty of the Russian defeat should be overwhelmed with shame" Admiral Voelkersam Is supposed to have perished ,

langer Among Those Held.
 New York, May St.-Twenty-four members of the so-called theatrical trust will have to stand trial on a chargeof conspiracy. in accordance with a decision rendered to-day by City Magistrate Pool in the West Side court in the long pending complaint of James s. Metcalfe, the dramatic critic, against the Theatrical Managers association. Metcalfe charged conspiracy in that members of the association passed a resolution January 12 last by which they agreed to bar him from their the- aters.
 The men held are Marc Klaw, A. l.. Erlanger, Oscar Hammerstein, Daniel Frohman, Charles M. Burnham. Joseph K. Brooks, Heinrich Conreid, James H. Curtin, Martin Dickson. Frank Mckee, J. W. Rosenquest, A. L. Braden, Jo- seph L. Springer, Leo, Teller, W. O. Watson, Percy Williams, w. c. Jor- dan, Ali. Hayman, George Kraus, E. D. Stair, W. F. Keogh, l.. L. Lichenstein, Antonio Pastor, Henry B. Harris. None of the managers were in court when the decision was rendered, and it was said that they will be represented at the district attorneys office to-mor- row to arrange for bail
 In his decision Magistrate Pool says the proceeding was brought by the dis trict attorney under d section of the penal code relating to two or more per- sons conspiring to prevent man fol- lowing a lawful calling.
 Of the contention that Marc Klaw and A. L. Erlanger, though present when theresolution was passed did not vote and should not be held Magistrate Pool says: The evidence shows Marc Klaw and 4. L. Erlanger were the principal subjects of the resolution and they subsequently carried ou the re- solve of the meeting by preventing the complainant from entering their several theaters though he demanded entrance and demanded unquestionable t tiekts of admission, I hold that any member of the association, whether present or not at the meeting, who either directly or indirectly carried out the resolve of the meeting on January | 12, or threatened to do so, or who pre- 1 vented the complainant from entering their respective theaters on his pre- senting himself for admission with good and proper tickets of admission, is li- able to the same charge as though pres ent at tn emeeting and voting"
 Magistrate Pool denied the conten- ton that q theater is private property and the legal right of the defendants to exclude the complainant on the ground that the theater is quasi-public place and said:
 T hold q person cannot be denied ad- mission to a ti1eater solely on the ground that he had written criticisms retiecting on one or more members of the Theater Managers association

 The space around the opera house, when the king left, was cleared for 200 yards but the avenue was packed wiistssss dense throng which, while awaiting the passage of the royal and presiden- tial parties admired the charming scene, the decorations extending as far as the Palais Royal.
 When the kings carriage passed at a gallop followed by others containing the diplomatic corps and the ministers the crowd cheered itself hoarse, shout ing Long live the king!" and Long live the president!'
 The procession arrived at the end of the Avenue de Popera and crossed the Place Theater Franchise, where were assembled at lease 1,500 persons in the Rue de Rohan, a short street forming practically a continuation of the Ave- nue de I Opera, right opposite the arch- ed gateway of the Louvre leading to the Place Carrousel. There, just few yards before reaching the Rue Rivoli a man sprang forward with his arm rais- ed in the air, and before the cordon of police could prevent him he, without uttering a word, threw a projectile in the direction of the royal carriage. The police immediately rushed toward him. At that moment a deafening explosion occurred. Cries from the crowd were heard and a scene of intense exeite- (Continued on Eighth Page.)

EATING "Humble Pie ="

There is a queer twist or language
in the phrase ito eat humble pie"
The word humble" is corrupted
form of the original humble" which
is an inedible part of the carcass of
deer and would make very poor pie.
The words humble pie" have the
same original meaning as Ito eat
crow" phrase common in political
life. There is an enforced humility
in this process and the change from
humble" to humble" introduced
thought which harmonized with the
idea sought to be expressed. The last
form of the phrase has entirely sup
planted the original.
