ST. PETERSBURG. June 23-The official
Interpretation of the emperors speech TO
the delegation of the zemstvoists and
mayors al Peterhof. June 49, is given in the
following circular sent by the ministry of
the interior to all the newspapers:
The words pronounced by the emperor
during the reception of the members of the
zemstvos and municipalities have been in
correctly interpreted by portion of the
periodical press. and several newspapers
nave gone so far as to deduce therefrom
the arbitrary conclusion that the emperor's
words implied an extension of the imperial
rescript of March 3 10 the minister of the
interior in the sense of a conyocatton OF
representatives of the people the bases

OFFICIALLY REPORTED.
Col. Leach Notes Suspension Of Work
on Highway Bridge.

Colonel Leach. the engineer officer In
charge Of the improvement of the Potomac
river, called at the War Department today
and made an oral report to General Mac
kenzie, chief Of engineers, regarding the
temporary suspension of work on the steel
superstructure of the new Highway bridge
The work, 1t Is understood, was stopped in
consequence of the strike against the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, contractors
for the bridge, because of some differences
with the workingmen at the plant in Penn
sylvania. Colonel Leach said that the only
work now in progress on the superstructure
Of the bridge was in connection with the
ratings along the sidewalks and other
minor construction not dependent on the
members of the striking union
1t is understood that several Of the prin-
cipal Bridge building firms in the country
will join forces with the Pennsylvania Steel
Company in making issue with the
Union Iron Workers Association in this
case. 1t is alleged that the iron workers
employed by the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany have broken their agreement with the
company not to strike without first submit
ting to arbitration any grievance against
the company that might possibly justify
such action. 1t is on that point, 1t is said
that bridge companies have decided to COM
blne for the settlement Of the present issue
There Is an impression that the difficulty
may be satisfactorily adjusted between the
labor union and the bridge company and
that the present delay in the work on the
bridge will not seriously Interfere with
the plan of having the structure ready for
operation early in September.

NEW PRESIDING OFFICER.
Attorney Smith Succeeds Attorney Sim
clair on Trial Board.

James Francis Smith, one of the assist
ant corporation counsels, took up his duties
as president of the police trial board this
afternoon At the close of the argument
of Attorney Ambrose In the case Of Pri-
vate c. X. Metcalf. Mr.. Sinclair left the
presidents chair and brought Mr.. Smith
forward.
Gentlemen" he said, 81 wish to intro
duce to you Mr.. James Francis Smith. who
will succeed me on the trial board"
Attorney Ambrose argued the case of Pri-
yate Metcalfe of the tenth precinct station
when the trial board convened. Metcaiie'
who Is a married man. was charged with
keeping company with certain young
woman. She made statement at ponce
headquarters that her sutton was Metcaife
of the police force, but when called oefore
the trial board she stated that she was
mistaken, and that she had since learned
that 1t was a man named Price, cohhecteu
with the navy yard.
The attorney for the defense argued that
the evidence and previous statement OF the
girl should be excluded as being conflicting
and uncertain. Her statements. the attor-
ney said, constituted the only evidence
against the officer.
The board then took up the case OF Pri-
vate Brandenburg of the ninth precinct sta
ton, charged with conduct unbecoming an
officer. The conduct charged against the
officer first came to the attention of Lieut..
Daley, when P. Bursey came to the station

building under circumstances which aroused
suspicion of improperly. Both Lieut..
Daley and Mr.. Bursey were witnesses IN

High School Cadets Plan to Go to
Ocean CITY,

The cadets of the various high schools
OF the city assembled at the Ebbitt House
last evening to perfect plans for a pro-
posed summer military camp at the sea-
shore next August. The location for the
camp was one of the vital questions dis
cussed. 1t is practically agreed that
Ocean City, M. will be the place selected
for the camping ground. A committee
was appointed to visit Ocean City for the
purpose of making an inspection of the
proposed camp ground and the environ
ments surrounding 1t. This was done
in response to an invitation signed by 100
leading citizens of Ocean City.

vantage Of locating the camp at the sea-
shore, and especially at Ocean City, N. J..
where the campers will be surrounded by
the most moral environment and will also
have advantage of at least 500 of the
camp fund. He stated that he had con-

GOV. CARTER LEAVES
RESIGNATION OF HAWAIIAN Elk
EcUTIvE MAILED PRESIDENT.

HONOLULU. June 23.-Gov. Carter
mailed his resignation to President Roose-
welt on Wednesday. He will leave on June
% for Washington to discuss the matter of
his retirement from the governorship. He
has been in cable correspondence with the
President regarding 1t. and has received
permission to go to Washington for a per-
sonal interview.
Gov. Carter says he had urged President
Roosevelt to accept his resignation and APP
point successor. His action, 1t is declar-
ed, was not due to the election of e. M.
Brown as high sheriff. but had been under
consideration for some time. 1t was first
written on June 8. but was withheld on
the advice OF friends who asked him not
to send 1t to Washington.
The resignation was the elimination of q
long series Of events which led Gov. Carter
to the conclusion that he could be of more
service to the territory of Hawaii outside
the g0bernatorial chair than in that posi-
ton.
