william B. Allison, Of Iowa, Breaks
Record of the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 20.-AA records for
continuous and combined service in con-
gress and in the senate were broken by
Senator William B. Allison, of Iowa, yes
terday. He has been in the senate 81
years and ii months and IA days and in
congress 40 years, lacking just two weeks
Senator Allison first took his seat in the
senate March 4, 1873, succeeding James
Harlan. He has served continuously ever
since. The first week in January be broke
the continuous. service record established
by Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, who died
December 2S, 1898, and who would have
served 80 years had he lived until the fol-
lowing 4th Of March.
The records Senator Allison surpassed
was hat established by Senator Sherman
having been out of the senate several years
between bis Two periods of service. There
are only two men in the senate today who
we're there when Senator Allison took bis
seat. They are Stewart, of Nevada, and
Mitchell, of Oregon. Neither has seen
continuous service. Stewart was out II
years and Mitchell 10 years. The mem
ber of the present senate who comes next
to Senator Allison in continuous service is
Cockrell, of Missouri, who, on March l,
will have served 80 years. Next comes
Morgan, of Alabama, with % years, and
then Platt, of Connecticut, with 26 years
A study of Senator Allison's early politi-
cal career reveals the reason of his friend
ship for Rear. Admiral Walker, which is
said to have caused him to strenuously
oppose the abolshment of the Panama
Canal Commission, of which Admiral
Walker is chairman. 1t ia reported that
Senator Allison and Admiral Walker were
brothers-in.law, but this is denied by both.
They are not related. When Senator Alll'
son first entered politics as a protege of
Governor Grimes he subsequently married
a niece of Mrs. Grimes. Rear-Admiral
Walker was nephew Of ofGovernOr Grimes,
and he and the young girl who subseq'
uently became Mrs. Allison were reared
together. When Governor Grimes died
he left Admiral Walker and the care of
bis welfare as an informal legacy to Sena-
tor Allison. and the senator has attended
to it faithfully ever since, His influence
has assist, d greatly in shaping Admiral
Walkers career in the navy.

Panama Railroad Official Testlfies Re
uardinu Federal Commission.

Washington, Feb. 18.-When the
House committee op interstate and for
eien commerce this morning resumed
cross-examination of Z. A. Drake, Vice
President of the Panama Railroad, Col.
Hepburn, Chairman, continued bis In
terrogation as to the payment OF ices 10
members of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission as Directors and members of the
executive board of the railroad. Drake
explained that Commissioner Parsons was
the only one of the commissioners who
had drawn fees as a member of the execu-
tive board, but that all the commissioners
except Gen. Davis accepted fees for SER
vices to the board.
Drake was directed to submit to the
committee on Monday next the books and
<accounts of the railroad setting forth in
detail these payments. Drake testified
relative to the agreement existing between
the Panama Railroad and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, that receipts for the
Transportation of freight were divided
equally between the two. He testified
that a msjorlty of the stock of the Pa
ciGc Mail Company was owned by the
Southern Pacific Railroad. He said that
the earnings of the Panama Railroad since
1860 aggregated SSS, 900, 900 but cautioned
the Government against compelling are
duction of freight rates on the ground that
s,ch step would be destructive.

RussIA's TROUBLES MULTIPLY.
Students Of University Of ST. Petersburg
Suspend StudIes-0ther Schools
Follow.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2l.-With the de-
cision of the student body Of the great un-
iversity ofst. Petersburg, at meeting yes
terday, to suspend studies for the remain
der of the university year, almost the
whole educational system of Russia has en-
tered upon period OF stagnation; the pro-
test OF the youth of Russia against the
bureaucratic system and other government
tai grievances. Other universities of Russia,
gymnasia and even grammar schools were
already on strike and the military invad-
ed portions of the empire have been oblig.
ed to resort to force to restrain school boys
of tender years, who are joining the gen.
eral movement.
The meeting of 81. Petersburg students
at which over 5000 participated, besides
voting with practical unanimity to suspend
studies until September l, adopted a set
of political resolutions demanding the for
nation of constituent assembly and char
acterizing the proposed summoning Of the
zemsky tabor as iedequate for the emer-
gency. These resolutions, after speaking
of progressive decentralization of Russia
under the the influence eff the absolute re-
gime" declare for freedom of speech, of
the press, and the conscience, the right Of
of association and assembly and to strike,
which are described as necessary conditions
for the further progress of Russia.
The meeting also unanimously decided
to express disapproval of the action of the
government in dealing with the workmen
who attempted to present their petition TO
the emperor on January %, and its SYM
pathy with the victims of the scldiery. A
large faction voted in favor ofstopping the
war. A strong revolutionary feeling was
manifested at the meeting, the red flag
was waved and the "Marseillaise" and
other revolutionary songs we're chanted.
A large portrait Of the emperor in the
great auditorium of the university where
the meeting was held, was torn in strips.
The police did not interfere.
Strong forces of police and cossacks had
been posted outside the buildings to pre-
vent an expected street demonstration but
none occurred.
Many professors and instructors in the
were present at the meeting,
most of whom were in full sympathy with
the objects of the assembly. Two tutors
and email number of students who wish
ed to obtain their diplomas this year made
an Intellectual attempt to stem the general
tide.

No Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President Roose-
velt, who for weeks has been hopeful that
some definite action might be taken at the
present session of congress on the railroad
rate question, practically has relinquished
the idea of securing legislation on the sub
ject this winter 1t is reasonably certain
that be will not call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to meet 10 the spring, but,
unless he changes his mind, he will call
congress together, probably next October.
Representatives Esch and Townsend,
joint authors of the rate bill which passed
the house, bad talk with the President
today. They agreed with him that the
prospect for the enactment of rate legisIa.
ton at this session was remote. As they
left the White House, both Messrs. Esch
and Townsend expressed the conviction
that an extraordinary session would be
called for next autumn to treat with the
rate question.

Boston Fire Cost 81, 900, 900.

Boston, Feb. 2I.-A loss estimated at
81, ,O00,0 900 was caused by fire at the
Hoosac tunnel docks at Charlestown, early
today. Two of the largest piers were
burned, the Wilson-Leyland-Furness line
steamer Philadelphian was seriously dam
aged, and a large quantity Of merchandise
both on the docks and in the hold OF the
Philadelphian, was ruined or destroyed.
Five persons sustained injuries.
Chief Steward John w. Fellows, OF the
Philadelphian, of Liverpool, England who
is suffering from exposure in the water
and exhaustion, is in dangerous condi'
tiou. The others will recover.
The principal loser is the Boston and
Maine Railroad Company, owner OF the
docks, whose damage is placed at $4OO,-
600. The loss to the Philadelphian also
is serious, not only to the vessel, but to
the valuable cargo which was in her hold.
Loss on merchandise which was on the
docks, it is thought, will bring the loss
fully up to 81 100000. The amount is
partly covered by insurance. The steam
ers Daltonhall, Michigan and Martello,
which we're tied up at nearby docks, mar
rowly escaped damage.
Chief Shaw of the state police, today
ordered an investigation of the fire. AL
though it has been generally believed that
spontaneous combustion originated the
the blaze, there is now some suspicion
that it was due to incendiarism.
The insurance companies will institute
a most searching investigation in their
own behalf
