HESAYS The WORD
Emperor Nicholas Issues His
Promised Manifesto.
Which Gives the People Voice
in the Government.
SUFFRAGE rs WIDE.
But Is Based Upon a Property
Qualification.
Most Important Event Since the
Serfs We're Freed.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19-Russia's ma
t1onal representative assembly, the fruit
of decades of stress and striving for re-
form, which endows the Russian people
with the rights of being consulted
through their chosen representatives in
the suggestion and repeal of laws takes
Its place among the fundamental insti-
tutionS of the empire
In solemn manifesto Emperor Mich
olaS announces to his subjects the frui-
ton of his plans, summoning the repre-
sentatives of the people as outlined by
him in rescript issued on March last,
and fixes the date for the first convoca-
ton as mld-January and in ukase ad-
dressed to the senate, formally orders
that body to register the popular will,
formulating the nature, powers and pro-
cedure of the new governmental org rganiz-
alton.
The manifesto and ukase are publish
ed this morning in special editions of
the Official Messenger in st. Petersburg &
and MOSCOW They were given out to
newspapers at noon, many of which are
preparing to issue extra editions to sig
nalize momentous historical event,
overshadowing in Importance the liberia
tion of the serfs in 1851
The date of the occasion has been
happily chosen with due regard to the
poetical symbolism so dear to the Rus
sian heart, for on this day is celabrat-
ed the great religious feast of the trans
fguration of Christ, with the bringing
to the church of the first fruits of the
new harvest.
The national assembly will be a con-
! sultative organization in connection
with the council of the empire and not
a legislative body. The powers of the
emperor remain theoretically absolute.
AS the emperor is the supreme law
giver and autocrat, the decisions of the
douma have only recommendatory
and not a binding force, though the re-
| lection of. any legislative measures by a
| two-thfrds majority of both houses is
sufficient to prevent that measure from
| becoming law.
The representatives of the people will
have not only the right to be heard on
any legislation proposed by the govern
4 ment, but also can voice their desires on
new laws and will have the right to ex-
4 ert a certain supervision over bud
getary expenditures.
| The suffrage, though wide is not uni
versal. 1t is based on property qualif-
cations, the peasantry having a vote
through membership in communal or.
| ganizations.
| A considerable portion of the residents
of the cities, possessing no lands. to-
gether with women, soldiers, civil func-
| tionaries, ETC., are without suffrage.

ed to remove all unreasonable reStric-
tions, but to exclude all undesirable

suance by congress of 800, 100000 in
bonds to form a permanent fund for

bors, and one recommending separate
statehood for Oklahoma. 1t is prob
able that the next congress will go to
Kansas City.

APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY.
Governor Hoch Says He VIII Name
Supreme Court Justice Then

Governor Hoch stated today that he
would announce the appointment of
successor to Justice Cunningham on
Monday.
In spite of the fact that Governor
Hoch has emphatically stated that he
has already made up his mind who to
appoint. he is receiving a good deal
of advice from his friends on the sub
ject. U. S. Attorney J. S. Dean called
upon him today, and presumably gave
him few hints on the subject.
1t is said that a delegation is coming
ment of Capt. H. A. Ewing.
Governor HOch said today: mo,
am not being bothered much by appli-
cants. I shut off the scramble by
what I said the first day after Judge
Cunningham's death. AS far as being
ready to make the appointment is
concerned, 1 was ready within fifteen
minutes after the news of the sad
event reached me, and I have not had
occasion to change my mind. I shall
probably announce the appointment
on Monday"
There are several new candidates
mentioned today in spite of the gov
ernor's statement that the man is al
ready selected. One is Judge G. p.
Aikman, of the Thirteenth judicial dis
trict, a resident of Butler county. An
other is Judge Kellogg, of Emporia,
the father of Charles Kellogg, who is
the governors stenDgrapher.

JACOB DICKS PARDoNED.
Hutchinson Murderer Released From
Penitentiary by Governor Hoch.

Jacob Dicks of Hutchinson, who in
October, 1899. was sent to the peniten-
tiary for ten years for the murder of
Jake Schoenfield. his boss in the salt
works, was pardoned out today by
Governor Hoch. This application for
pardon was uD before Governor Bal
ley, and was rejected on the advice of
Senator Vincent and others. Senator
Vincent is on record as saying that the
murder was coldblooded and un-
justified.
It seems that Dicks was Jealous of
Schoenf1eld, and believed that he had
been guilty of undue familiarity with
Mrs. Dicks. One day Dicks got drunk,
went to his home and accused his wife
of infidelity, and then loaded I'D a
sh otgun and went cunning for Schoen-
field. He waited until Schoenfield
came out of the salt works. and calm
ly blew his head off.
Carr Taylor, attorney for the rail-
road board. who was prosecuting at
torney of Reno county at the time,
recommends Dicks pardon, and this
action is endorsed by the judge and a
long list of Reno county petitioners.

Militia and Pension Resolutions

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 19.-The Inter
national Typographical union has
voted $3.50 a week to aid the union
printers in their strike against the

author alleged that capitalists can use
the militia to further their own ends.
A resolution was offered asking the
union to have a bill passed in the
United States congress to pay a pen
sion of $12 a week to wage earners
who have earned 81, 900 a year con-
tinuously for 21 years. It was re-
jected- The anti-ticket scalping law

ROADS CITED
FOR CONTEMPT.
Five Western Lines Ordered to
Appear in Court.
And Plead to Charges of ViOlat-
ing an Injunction.
SPECIFIC ACTS NAMED.
Rebates Alleged to Have Been
Granted in Two Cases.
To the Harvester Trust and the
Hutchinson Salt Company.

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-Contenpt
proceedings charging violation of the
order of District Judge John F.
Philips, issued in March, 1902, re-
straining the defendants from giving
rebates in violation of the interstate
commerce law. were fled here today
in the United States district court
against the Chicago & Alton, the Bur-
Iington, the Missouri Pacific, the Rock
Island and the Santa Fe railway COM
panies. These companies are charged
with giving rebates in violation of the
restraining order and the court is
asked to cite them for contempt.
The contempt proceedings alIege
specifically in the case of the Alton,
that that company granted rebates
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars on the shipments of agricultural
and farming machinery to the Inter
national Harvester company (which
owns and controls the Deering Har-
vester company, the Mccormick Har-
vester company, the Plano Harvester
company, the South Chicago Furnace
Railroad company. It is alleged that
| the Chicago & Alton agreed with the
Illinois Northern to file with the in
terstate commerce commission pre-
fective from Chicago to Missouri river
points, for the express purpose of
| evading the restraining order, and that
| the Alton did in fact give to the Inter-
national Harvester company 25 per
cent of said pretended tariff rate. The
| proceedings against the Burlington
are practically identical with those
against the Alton.
The proceedings against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Rock Island and the
| Santa F'e allege that in like manner
/ these companies violated the restrain
ing order by giving rebates to the
Hutchinson-K Kansas Salt company in
collusion with the Hutchinson & Arkan-
sas River railroad. which latter COM
pany is controlled ard operated by the
Salt company. These roads are al
legged to have given the Salt company
/ 25 per cent of a pretended joint tariff
rate upon salt routed to points on the
Missouri river.
The charges were filed by A. Van
Valkenburg. United States district at
torney for the western department of
Missouri, at the instigation of M. d.
Purdy, assistant attorney general cf
the United States.
Judge Philips set Sept. IS, as the
date upon which the companies are or
dered to make their plea to the
charges of contempt.

LET SOME GO.
Judge Holds Four of the Correspond
ents in the Taggart Case.

Wooster. O., Aug. 19.-Judge Eason
rendered his decision today in regard to
the motion filed to rule out the charges
against the principal men named as CO.
respondents in the Taggart divorce case.
Judge Eason stated that he would dis
miss the charges against Captain Rither
and against Mr.. Spencer of Chicago but
that he would not dismiss the charges
against General Miner, Lieutenant For
tesque, Captain Bash and William Tag
CART. In regard to the letters Judge
Eason stated that if half of the charges
against Miner imprisoning Taggart were
not disproved, Major Taggart would
have been justified in writing almost
any kind of a letter to get out of prison.
He went at length into the other
charges and severely scored Miner, For
tescue, Bash and William Taggart stat
ing that the evidence SO far produced
must be disproved or it was against
them.

KELLOGG A CANDIDATE.
Ex-Attorney General Aspires to Place
on Supreme Bench.

Emporia. Kan, Aug. 19.-C. B.
Graves of Emporia is being mentioned
in connection with the vacancy on the
supreme bench, caused by the death of
Justice E. W. Cunningham, but Lyon
county will have another candidate.
At the proper time Judge Lyman B.
Kellogg will announce his candidacy,
but he will not do so until after the
burial of Judge Cunningham. He does
not think it seemly to begin to hustle
for endorsements for the place before
the funeral of the late justice.
Judge Kellogg was attorney general
of Kansas fifteen years ago. He was
the first Republican to be defeated by
fusion. The Democrats and PopuliSts
fused on Ives for attorney general but
had separate tickets for the other Of
fees, which resulted in the election of
Ives, but the defeat of the balance of
the Popuiist ticket.
Tt is said that kellogg will have the
endorsement of the Lyon county bar.

SARATOGA STARTLED.
Two Mysterious Explosions Heard in
Quick Succession.

Saratoga, N. 7, Aug. 1.-TWO loud
explosions in quick succession startled
visitors late last evening, and set afoot
stories> about dynamite plots. While
very little actual damage was done
there can be no doubt that some vio-
lent explosives were used. The ques-
ton is whether it was the work of
practical joker, or of some person in
tending michief, who failed to carry
out his plan.
The first explosion occurred in a.
narrow alley way between the United
States club, conducted by Joseph Ull-
man, and adjoining garage.
The second explosion ocurred about
half an hour later at a point in Cir
cular street directly above the grounds
of Richard Canfield's Saratoga club
house. In both instances the noise
was great and those in the neighbor-
hood were of the impression that
bombs had been used. Later in the
night several printed slips were found
in the corridor of a leading hotel, as
serting that dynamite had been found
in large quantities in the two club
houses and warning people to be care
full These slips lead the police to be-
| lieve that the explosions were the
work of q fanatic.

BAND OF YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
PiIlaged Back Porches and Yards on
Harrison Street.

Mrs. Nj. D. Henderson, of 7O4 Harrison
street, complained to the police this
morning that three young negroes were
begging and stealing in that neighbor-
hood.
The negroes approached both ends of
a house at the same time, and while one
was begging something to eat at the
front door, the other two were busily en-
gagged in stealing everything portable
from the back porch. By the time a
detective was sent out to look for the
negroes they had escaped.
