Majority Resolution Favors the Con-
tinuance of Autocracy.
MOSCOW, Feb. 4.-The Assembly Of
Mobiles to-day voted upon two ad-
dresses to the Emperor, and the Con-
servative address was adopted by a
vote Of PIC to 14S. After lengthy dis
cussion, however, the assembly decided
to forward both the Liberal and Con-
servative addresses.
The Conservative address declares
the present troublous time is not the
right moment to consider any reorgan-
ization of the system of government,
and exhorts the autocratic Emperor to
rule in consciousness of his strength.
for in the greatness of his power lies
the strength and hope Of the Russian
people.
A dispatch from Moscow last We'd
nesday said that two drafts of resolu-
lions were in circulation, one insisting
only on maintenance of the autocracy
and the other asking for political free
dom for Russia, urging the Govern
ment to make necessary changes In the
law to enable a reassembly TO be con-
voked and appealing to the throne to
issue a manifesto assuring the country
of its intention to take steps to this
end. without which it would be impos-
sibIe to restore tranquility to the coun-
try.

GOULD SEEKS TO
BUY OUT Mr.. HYDE
Control of Equitable May Pass
to Railroad King-Hyde
Denies Story.

| New York, june "A conference has
been held lasting until an early hour
this morning, at which negotiations for
the purchase of the stock control of the
Equitable Life Assurance society,
owned by James Fl. Hyde, were made
by George j. Gould on behalf of syn
dictate of financiers and business men.
When the conference ended, salts
factory progress had been made, and it
is expected that the sale of Mr.. Hyde 8
stock will be ratified before the meet
ing. of the Equitable directors today.
The greatest secrecy concerning the
conference was maintained. It began
Of Mr.. Hyde's lawyers, and from there
| the conferees went to another place.
Mr.. Hyde, attended by his lawyers,
Samuel Untermeyer, Elihu Root and
William G. CULVER, was present.
The price offered was sum said to
be in excess Of 100000 and less than
$5,0OO,O00 for. the SOP shares which
were valued at the time Of Henry B.
Hyde's death, for the purpose of fixing
| the state inheritance tax, at $3.50 a
share, or $125,500.
Hyde's Alleged Terms.
Mr.. HYDE is said to have expressed a
willingness to sell on certain conditions.
These included:
| That the stock should be trusteed by the
new owners and voted so that the policy
holders should elect twenty-eight directors
and the stockholders twenty-four direc-
tors.
That he should be given his own time
to retire as director of the Equitable
but that if the new owners so decided
he would surrender the office of first vice
president.
That neither E. H. Hartman nor Henry
C. Prick should have any direct or indi-
rect connection with the purchase of the
stock.
Mr.. Hyde is said to have remarked
in connection with the last stipulation
that rather than allow one Of the men
named to obtain control he would make
bonfire of his stock.
Who is behind Mr.. Gould in the re-
ported negotiations could not be learned.
It is believed that he is merely acting
in the matter as an intermediary for
others because of his friendship and in
fuence with Mr.. Hyde.

st. Petersburg, June Ambassador
Meyer was. in constant communication
with Washington this morning. He re-
eeived a long cipher dispatch, and soon
afterward hurried to the foreign office
where he had half-an-hour' earnest
conversation with Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff concerning the information
transmitted to him.
Extreme reticence continues to be
manifest, but it is apparent that the
great announcement for which the
world is waiting will not be given from
here or Toxic, but from Washington.
It is not likely to be delayed beyond
Monday at the latest.
No hitch has occurred and the out
look continues favorable to peace.
A council of ministers, presided over
Tsarskoe-Selo this afternoon to discuss
the situation in regard to the present
developments. His majesty's brother,
Grand Duke Michael, who has arrived
here from Berlin, is believed to be the
bearer of personal message from EN-
peror William advising peace.

The government is plainly preparin g

the Russian public, however, have un,

JURY IS PROBING
IIASCA AFFAIRS
Former Treasurer Miller Indicted
Shortage Is Likely to
Exceed $4,000.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Rapids, MINI, June 9.-The
grand Jury investigation into the ac-
counts of former County Treasurer Mil
Ter is making substantial progress. One
indictment has been returned, and it is
understood others are pending. The
amount Of the shortage has not been
the figures given by the public examiner
or about $4,000.
The Indictment against Miller was re-
turned into court on the. first day on
which the grand jury sat. The charge
was that Of having embezzled the sum
Of $500. The defendant pleaded not
guilty and bonds were fixed by Judge
McClenahan in the sum of $780,.
Miller held office for six years and it
is understood that his first shortage
was during the forfeited tax sale Of
1900.
Some lumber companies are supposed
to have been among those who suffered
at his hands. It is reported that this
was the case with the Grand Forks
Lumber company, among others. The
ex-treasurer received a payment OF
taxes from that concern and absorbed
the proceeds, neglecting to make the re
ceipt. The taxes against these lands
are unpaid on the county books today
and at the spring sale some of the de-
scriptions involved were sold for de-
linquent taxes.
Among the civil cases on the calen
dar of this term Of court are two which
directly grow out Of Miller's pecula
tions. W.tD. Washburn, Jr., of Mime
apolis, was caught for 5000, according
to information here, and in about thu
same manner as the Grand Forks Lum
Der company. Mr.. Washburn discov
cred in February last that some Of tn
lands on which he had paid taxes ap
peared on the books Of the county treas
urer with the taxes unpaid, and so be
gan an action thru his attorneys re
straining Auditor Spang from seIlin,

The facts were thoroIy investigate
by the present county officers and
was ascertained that Mr.. Washburn ha
undoubtedly paid the taxes in question
The county, therefore, made mo defens
to the Washburn suit, with the result
that Judge McClena han, has made an o.
der permanently restraining the audito
from selling these certain lands 70
taxes.

In time to stop what would have been
the first legal hanging in Iowa in ten
years, an appeal was filed with the
supreme court today in the case of
Charles Rocker of Rock Rapids.
Rocker was to have been hanged at

message was sent to call off the hang
ing. Rocker killed his wife's former

The last legal hanging in Iowa took
place at Anamosa in 1895. James Doc

then. Governor Jackson signed thu
death warrant, but no governor since
that time has done it.

way, his denunciation Of NorWay>s Sc
cession as a violation of the constltu-

There is uneasiness on every side and
fear is expressed, openly in some quar-
