COURSE OF THE COURT IN
THE CASE OF THE CLUB
Wiping Out of Quo Warranto Pro.
ceedings Puts An End to
Malicious Move.

The dismissal by Judge Graves in
the Rock Island circuit court Saturday
on motion of States Attorney Scott. OF
the quo warranto proceedings brought
by w. c. Looney for. as it is
known, John Looney. against the
Rock Island Club, put an end TO move
maliciously designed to wreck the
club. The case was extensively com
mented upon al the time it was insti-
tuted, and as prophesied then. the club
has not suffered in the least through
the course that has been pursued
against il.
The act of animuS never fails to re-
bound. 1t never succeeds. never has.
and never will. Broad and fair as is
the latitude of the court where the viz
tue OF the move has equal weight with
the vlciousneSs of the motive. there is
a point within its precincts where the
prosecutor and the slanderer must turn
back.
The club may have adopted the
shortest cut to Kidding itself of an an
noyance, but vindication would have
come TO it in the end in any event.

favor the conclusion Of peace.
No trouble is anticipated In meeting tho pay
ment of an indemnity. hnanciers who were
not willing to lend money for continuation OF

money is needed for the purpose of concluding
peace.
The Emperor summoned Admiral Alexieff and
all the Ministers to an extraordinary council
this afternoon.
The Ministers returned to ST. Petersburg late
at night, but preserved a cautious reticence over
the proceedings of the council, as Tar as the at
titude Of the Emperor Is concerned Ffihce
Ctolensky who had an audience yesterday with
his majesty, found him resoutely determined on
the prosecution of the war.
Various rumors agree that "a continuance Of
the war WAS the first question taken up, Whefe-
upon the peace party offered strong line OK
argument which was supplemented 1t is said, by
a dispatch from General Linevitch, in which
that commander expressed a fear of the demorai-
izing effect of the naval disaster on the army

spreading.
Alarming rumors are ahoat as to disaffection
among the marines and sailors Quartered here
and the workmen are again mutterins ABOUT

Persistent but unconfirmed rumors are in cir
ouiation that the protected cruiser Jemchug has
arrived at VIadivostok, and private messages
from that vessel are said to have been received
by the relatives of her officers here, but the Ad-
miralty does not include her in the list or Ves-
sells which escaped.
The serious situation created by the destruc-
ton of the Russian fleet seems to be fully real
lied at Tsarskoe Selo. The Emperor has as
sembIed practically all the members OF the I'M
perial family to decide the course to pursue.
A series of conferences is proceeding which
will determine not only the question OF peace
but whether 1t is advisable to yield to the popu-
lar demand for the immediate convocation OF a
national assembly Some of the members of the
imperial family are understood TO be urging his
majesty to retrieve the situation by making
common cause with the people against the
bureaucracy.
The Emperor has decided to send his brotheF'
Grand Duke Niche eI. 70 attend the wedding of
the German Grown Prince. instead Of his uncle
Grand Duke Vladimir. whose more mature
Judgment and advice the Emperor regards as
most important in the present crisis.
