Caused a Sensation.

st. Petersburg, June T. Emperor
Nicholas ukas virtually creating Gov
ernor General Trepoff dictator has
given rise to a mighty sensation. 1t is
the imperial recognition of the crisis
in the internal affairs in Russia, and
instinctively recalls the step taken by
the emperor's grandfather, Alexadner
H., Immediately after the attempt to
blow up the winter palace in 1880,
when he appointed a commission of
public safety, headed by General Loris
Melikoff, except that the position of
General Trepoff will be more analogous
to that occupied by Loris Melikotf.
when later, in the same year, he was
appointed minister of the interior,
with full control of the police.
Buried in the columns of the Official
Messenger and coming without warm
ing, the ukas is as yet known only to
the initiated.
The decision to place in the hands of
the strongest executive in Russia,
which Trepoff is universally recognized
as being, the power to crush with an
iron grasp the political agitation
which has brought Russia almost to
the brink of revolution, according to
public belief, is the fruit Of Pobliedon-
ostetf' s visit to the czar, for so far as
can be learned, not single one of the
ministers was in the secret.
The ukase came like a bolt from a
clear sky. NJ. Bouligan, minister of
the interior could not face the humilia-
ton and Immediately resigned, and it
is not improbable that other ministers
will follow suit.
1t is rumored in the city that Count
Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, has
already placed his resignation in the
hands of the emperor, and that he will
be succeeded by NJ. Muravieff, former
Minister of justice and now ambassador
at Rome. Admiral Alexieff has also
demanded the acceptance of his dennis
sion.
To find precedent for the Tresigna.

imperial action it is necessary TO &c

ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.
Russia sio,ooo,ooo a week-Japan
Somewhat Less.

The war between Russia and Japan
has been going on a little less than 16
months and has increased the debt of
the two countries at least 81 900 .OO0,-
600. According to an estimate made
some time ago, the direct cost Of the
war to Russia was about $4,000, 900 a
week, which would give the total up to
this time at a little less than s7OO, OO0,-
600 Undoubtedly. however, the cost
of the war has increased since that
estimate was made. so that very likely
the above amount has been exceeded,
possibly by fully 100000 900.
Japans war expenditure has been
somewhat less than that of Russia, due
in part to the fact that she did not
have to transport her armies and mill
tary supplies so long a distance. More
over. Japan has not bought supplies
abroad on so large a scale as Russia
and thus effected a considerable saw
ing. The Japanese soldier does not re
quire as much food as the Russian. and
the commissary department of a great
army is a tremendous source of ex
pense. AS to munitions of war the ex
penditures of the two countries have
probably been about equal, though ia
pan is understood to have manufac
tured at a small cost a considerable
part OF what she has used. Doubles.
a reasonable estimate of the pecuniary
cost Of the war to Japan is 100000,
600. making for the two nations APP
proximately $1.500OOO,OOO.
But the money cost of the confiic
is inconseQuential in comparison will

ENGINEER DROWNED
ENGINE STRUCK LARGE ROCK ON
GREAT NORTHERN ROAD
Passenger Train Meets Obstruction
Near Boomers Ferry, ldaho-A Boy
Tramp Saves Life Of Fireman
Postal Clerk Lang Seriously lnjur-
ed-Engineer 8rokaw Drowned.

Boomers Ferry, Idaho, June 4-The
Great Northern passenger
train was struck by a rock slide eight
miles east of here Saturday afternoon
and the engine plunged into the Koot-
enai river. Engineer Peter Brokaw
of Spokane was drowned. He swan
down the river for a quarter of a mile,
but no one could rescue him. Fireman
A. G. Baumister was hurt and Mail
Clerk Philip Lang was SO badly injur-
ed he may die.
John Ross, a Is year old boy. who
was beating his way on the tank of
the engine, saved the fremans life.
The freman's clothes were pinned I'M
der the engine. and the boy pulled him
free with the aid of shovel and then
assisted him to shore.
The wreck was caused by rocks slid.
ing down and showing the engine into
the river. The engine was completely
submerged in about 80 feet of water
and the mail and two baggage cars
went off the track and part way down
the bank Fireman Baumister says he
noticed rocks coming down and shout
ed to Engineer Brokaw, who applied
the emergency brakes. but the rocks
were too close and hit the tender
throwing the engine into the river.
Engineer Brokaw was washed GU
of his cab and tried to swim ashore
but, the current being very strong anC
no ropes or logs being available, he
sank in sight Of about 300 passengers
on the train. 1t is possible that tn,

Joined at the island Of Koh Iron (off
the coast of French Inod-China.) Our
admiral knew that Korea strait was
strongly guarded, but should Pacific

FOR PEACE.

Peace in the far east was the subject
of another conference at Washington
between the president and Mr.. Taxa
hira, the japanese minister. 1t was
the third conference ON this subject
which the president had had during the
day.
Accompanied by Count Hirosama,
a japanese nobleman, who is travelling
in this country; by Commander Taxa
shita, the Japanese naval attache, and
four japanese naval officers, who are
here Oh their way from Toxic to Eng
land to inspect the work on Japanese
warshlps now under construction in
British shipyards, Mr.. Takahira called
at the White House shortly after 8
O'Clock Monday night.
Naturally the president was greatly
interested to meet the japanese visit
ors, and gave them most cordial re-
ception. This, however, did not last
long, and soon, the visitors took their
departure, leaving the president and
Mr.. Takahira free to talk peace.
Thus far the minister as not been
able to tell the president, except in the
most general and unofficial way, what
Japan is likely to demand of Russia
when the latter can be brought to dis
cuss peace. Even the minister himself
has no idea what Japan's indemnity
may amount to. The president was
unable to give Mr.. Takshira any init
nation of how Russia has viewed the
humiliation of her fleet, and until
Count Cassini's report on his visit to
the White House has been replied to
by st. Petersburg no further progress
toward peace can be made in that
direction.
Regarding the general situation il
can be announced that Europe regard.
the president as the most available
medium for the preliminary communi
cations between st. Petersburg anC
Toxic, and Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, and Mr.. Takahira are boil
convinced of the presidents sincerit,
and friendliness to both belligerents il
his conferences regarding the ending
] of the war.
The president, it is believed, will en-
deavor to keep Japan's terms within
reasonable bounds, and the close rela
tons of Emperor William to the czar
it is suggested, will enable the German
sovereign to advise the car wit
frankness that even the Washington
government could not assume.
Mr.. Takahira says that "Tokio is al
ways for peace, but, he added signif
cantly, Russia must realize the pres
emit situation in all its seriousness an
be prepared to face it. "

1t is stated in Washington, that
under the Townsend rate bill, if a rate
is fixed by the Commission it cannot be
lowered by railroad. Should an
emergency arise calling for decreased
rate, the railroads or shippers would
have to appeal again TO the Commits
sion, there being no latitude allowed,
whatever the circumstances. Hitherto
a maximum rate has been the rule, but
no such concession is made under the
proposed legislation.
