| the decision they have made and en-
force 1T with a vengeance.
There may be trouble at the Aims
house, as the Grand Jury figures on do
ing things there in spite of the COM
misSioners.
Following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the Election Commissioners
No person unless clothed with the author
ity of the Board of Election Commissioners,
has any right to give orders interfere with
the conduct or progress OF the primary cleo
tion. No person has any right to interfere
with the free execution of the ballot by any
citizen. nor has any person any right in intlm-
idating any voter or to electioneer or solicit
votes within 100 feet of the polls.
This applies to the political workers of the
San Francisco Republican League and any
other persons wearing the so-ealled watchers
badges.
You are instructed that any such persons
have only the same authority and privilege as
any other citizen not wearing such badges.
You will act accordingly to the end that any
official power shall not be abused in the in
BOARD OF ELECTION. COMMISSIONERS.
By JAMES A. DEVOTE. President.
When told of the decision of the
Election Commissioners in regard to
the patients registered at the Aims
house, Foreman Andrews of the Grand
Jury said:
FOREMAN ANDREWS SMILES.
Il suppose that they have had le-
gal advice in the matter. Can any
body guess who the legal adviser was?
We acted on the advice of the District
Attorney. The Grand Jury can take
no further steps in the matter at this
late date" 1875 -la 317N Yso-Al5e
The resolution regarding the Grand
Jury watchers and the Republican
League watchers caused Foreman An
drews to smile.
The first part of it is almost intel
ligible,'' he said. But the last three
lines are not. The Grand Jury watch
ers do not want any special privileges.
They ask nothing but the right that
any citizen has-to remain in a booth
and to keep their eyes open.
There is nothing that the Grand Jury
can do or say now on the eve of this
election. We can only lie back and
wait. We cannot predict"
When told that Election Commits
sioner Roberts had accused the Grand
Jury of usurping powers that belonged
to the Election Commissioners, Fore
man Andrews said They have made
a lot of capital out of that"
Grand Jury detectives will be watch
ing the police to-day to make certain
that they do their duty in the booths.
Foreman Andrews refused to tell how
many were employed to do this work
or to go into details, but did not deny
that he thought it necessary to have
men for that purpose. Il simply refuse
to discuss the matter" he said.

Nashville, Tenn. oct 30. In Il ser

Galloway, Presiding Bishop of the Ten
nessee Methodist Conference, stoutly
advocated absolute obedience TO law
saying
81 say that more than anything else
we need in this nation is IN absolute
obedience to the laws of the land
There is a great need for the enforce.
ment inviolate of every line of every
statute upon our law books. There
can be no excuse or palliation for the
failure to enforce what Is declared to
be the law. When the people Of any
community, upon whatever provocation,
undertake by their own lands and with
out the authority of the law to enforce
vengeance or administer justice they
shoot poisoned dart into the very life
and fiber of our institutions and imperil
the very foundation of this republic.
'There is no crime-howevcr shock
ing to the moral sensibilities Of the
community, however heinous or awful
its execution will justify mob
violence. do not believe that Kan
sas saloon should be destroyed with a
hatchet. There is and can be no opallia-
tion for the violence of the mob 1t is
the worst kind Of anarchy that can be
contemplated and means the utter dis
regard of every principle Of govern
ment and violation Of the most sacred
obligations of citizenship"

RUSSIANS IN REVOLT.
People Are Panic-Stricken and Wild
Rumors Are in Circulation.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 30.-While the
day passed quietly, without bloodshed
in the Russian capital, and while the
city is outwardly calm, today develop
ments all indicate that a crisis is immi-
nent Although the streets are filled
with troops and reinforcements are now
pouring in, the government seems ut
terly powerless to cope with the situa-
tion, and many calm observers seem
seriously to believe that the present
regime is tottering to its fall.
The situation cannot be exaggerated.
With the present indecision of the EN-
peror, the government has neither q
head nor policy to meet the crisis,
and things seem TO be drifting toward
anarchy. The revolutioniss openly
declare that the government has ceased
to exist and that nothing remains to
His Majesty except to abdicatc.
The people are extremely nervous
and bordering on panic, and are easy
victims of every sensational rumor

are received with credence today were
that the Emperor had embarked on Il
