entire day in parades and assemblies.
which for the first time in the history
OF Russia were freely permitted.
Under the orders of Count Witte
and General Trepoff the troops gener-
ally were withdrawn from the streets
of the cities and the fullest rein given
to the people to let out their enthu-
siasm in demonstrations which; SO
long as they were not destructive, were
not interfered with.
EARLY in the day the "Marseillaise"
supplanted the national anthem as the
popular marching song.
The loyalistS attempted to take the
lead against the socialists and revolu-
tionists by organizing counter parades,
in which they carried the red, white
and blue banner of Russia and chanted
the national anthem, but they were
driven off the Nevsky Prospect by the
overwhelming numbers of the reds"
every time they appeared.
The soldiers off duty mingled freely
with the demonstrators and fraternized
with the populace.

Philadelphia. - More than 1000, 900
women representing the leading
women's organizations of the United
States have adopted memorial call
ing for the unseating of United States
Senator Reed Smoot. This was an

met here to-day. This memorial will
be presented when Congress con-

the vote of eight other senators and,
fearing that his power will increase.
they ask that action be taken at tho

Governor Wriaht's Farewell.

Manila.-Thc farewell banquet to
Gov. Luke e. Wright was attended by
many army officers and civilians and
was one Of the most popular demon

the islands. The governor was toasted
by Americans. Englishmen. Spaniards
and Filipinos. He was cheered for ten
minutes when he arose to speak. In his
address he gave credit to his col

London.-A dispatch to the Evening
Standard from Shanghai says that
Rear Admiral Train, commander-in-
chief of the American Asiatic squad
ron, and his son, Lieutenant Train,
have been victims of savage attack
by Chinese outside Nanking. The
American officers were pheasant hunt

shot Chinese woman, slightly injur
ing her. Hundreds of villagers there
upon surrounded the officers, took
away their guns. knocked the admiral
down in the mud and held Lieutenant
Train rs hostage. Forty American
marines landed as a rescue party and
were attacked by a mob OF Cinnamon
who tried to pitchfork the officers. The
marines were Obliged to fire twice.
The Chinese officials refused to re
store the officers guns. and supported
the villagers. Nanking has been active in
the movement for boycotting American
goods and is the center of activity on
the part of the Japanese students.

of the people received with deepest
Joy, though in st. Petersburg, Moscow

convention of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union was de-

nual address Mrs. Lillian Stevens,
president. commented upon the va
rious legislative measures the organi-

and spoke encouragingly of the future
growth of the temperance movement
Mrs. Stevens reviewed the develop
ments OF the past year and saw much
reason for encouragement. Upon the
subject of reform bills introduced in
the last Congress and which were not
acted upon, she said:

you visions of petitions you have cir
culated, memories of weary miles you
have traversed, rebuffs you have en-
dured, arguments you have presented,

memories of defeat, for you have

that same spirit is ours to-day as we

claim there is more drunkenness

tion.
THE attempt TO restore the canteen
is only a small part of the work of the
liquor element of this country" said
the president. II confidently predict
that Congress will take no adverse
action the coming winter"
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the ques
tions with which the temperance or
ganization concerns itself, including
Mormonism, the purity crusade, patent
medicines and the Gothenburg system
of regulating the liquor traffic which
she strongly opposed as compromise
with the traffic.

In the conviction Of Senator Mitch
eli OF completely In the Oregon land
frauds, many Interesting emergencies
will arise with regard to his activity In
the United States senate. Already the
subject of his successor as chairman
Of the Panama canal committee of the
senate Is being widely discussed. A
special from Washington to the Ore
gon Daily Journal says:
When the committees OF the United
states senate are reorganlzed next
December n fight is to be made to
wrest the chalrmanshlp OF the 18TH
mian canal committee from Senator
Mitchell of Oregon.
Because OF the prominence which
canal legislation Is likely to attain at
the coming session, It is desirable that
hands OF some good strong man, fully
competent to conduct hearings, direct
the work of the committee. and as
sumo charge of whatever canal legis-
latlon may be reported to the senate.
Even though he did not care to re-
sign his seat In the senate, Mr.. Mitch
ell might relinquish his craftsmanship
In order that there need be no fight
to pry him loose. This would simplify
the situation, and make way for some
other and more active man. But It Is
not believed Senator Mitchell would
pursue this course. It will be UP to
the committee on committees" to
solve this problem, and It would be a
long guess indeed. to attempt to pre-
diet what that committee win do.
According to senate precedents.
senator Mitchell is technically enti-
tied 10 retain his seat on the floor
and TO retain his Craftsmanship OF the
canal committee up to the time he is
actually denied right to a seat in the
senate by action OF the courts. But
according to the unwritten law of the
senate, Mr.. Mitchell is not expected to
again enter the senate chamber or to
participate in committee work until
he has been acquitted of the charges
on which he was convicted by the
federal court in Portland.
Therefore. II may be set down for
a fact that Senator Mitchell will not
be competent nor be permitted to pre-
side over the Isthmlan canal commit
tee during the next session, for there
Is no likelihood that the supreme
court will dispose OF his case until
after canal legislation has been shaped
UP and practically disposed of.
II Senator Mitchell can not pre-
side or act in his capacity as chair
man. Senator Platt of New York. next
In hne, would be acting chairman but
Plat has not the inclination or physi-
cal ability to conduct The fight for
canal legislation and would probably
waive his right This would place the
management of the canal fight and
the acting chairmanshlp OF the COM
mittee in the hands of Senator Kilt
ridge, of South Dakota, a man well
informed. capable and anxious to have
this responsibility.
But KlttrIdge does not want to be
acting chairman; he wants TO be
chairman in fact, and will make
fight to secure Mltchell's place.
