outside ready to crush anything in the
nature of a demonstration, that such
a meeting was allowed. 1t is necessary
to explain, however that when once
meeting is authorized the police
cannot stop it unless the university
directors call them in.
Sinqing the "Marseillaise"
The speeches grew more and more
excited. An address from italian stu
dents was read denouncing the trag-
edy Of January % and the general tyr
amy of the bureaucracy, and express
ing sympathy with Russian aspirants
for liberty.
When shortly after o'clock recess
was taken the whole student body be-
gan singing the Russian "Marseillaise,"
which begins: You fell victims of
love of your country" A wild scene
followed. The students unfurled red
flag on which was written: Hail to
the Constitutional Assembly" With
this flag they began parading the audi
torium and adjoining corridors.
A portrait of Emperor Nicholas was
also taken down from the wall and car
ried in the procession. The portrait
was torn in a slight skirmish, but this
called forth protest from the vast
majority of those present who were
careful to avoid even the appearance
of disrespect to the emperor.
Demand Constituent Assembly
At the conclusion of the meeting af
ter the adoption of set of strong
resolutions the student body, by unan-
imous vote, decided to suspend all uni
versity work until the September meet
ing, and dispersed without further in
cident.
There was no attempt to make a
demonstration before the Kazan ca
thedral.
The resolutions demanded
First-A constituent assembly on the
basis of universal suffrage, under con-
ditions of liberty of speech, of the
press, and of association, and the free
dom of laborers to strike.
Second-Full amnesty for religious
and political offenders.
Third-Autonomy for each part of
the country not of Russian nationality.
In conclusion the resolutions call on
every self-respecting citizen to struggle
for the achievement of these aims.
After the meeting broke up a band
of the students tore up the emperors
portrait, stripped and demolished the
frame and carried off bits of canvas
and gliding as souvenirs.

that contained for the conservative

the fiscal debate precipitated by Mr..

Redmond amendment was carefully
calculated, in fact, to undermine the

the debate was intensified by we'll

quickly spread elsewhere. that the
Earl of Dudley had resigned the lord
lieutenancy of Ireland. This report,
which was given wide credence, put
heart in the Nationalists, who made
the attack on the Earl of Dudley one
of the features of their speeches.
The debate drew crowded galleries

the debate would bring out sensa-

this character was entirely lacking
throughout the afternoon and night
sessions, the critical situation, coupled
with the clever tactics of the Irish
Nationalists, kept the galleries inter-

thereon, came about in the due and
ordinary course of senate organiza-
ton, and without Interior motive.

in the city of Sacramento, Senator r.
j. Emmons, a member of this senate,
did receive and accept from one Jo-
seph S. Jordan the sum of three hun
dred and fifty dollars in United States
currency upon an understanding that
the official action of said Emmons as
such senator would be influenced there
by In the manner following, viz: That
the same Emmons, as such senator,

the committee on commissions and re-
trenchment.

seph Jordan the sum Of $3.50 for like

ing as the agent and representative of

upon the part of each Of said senators,
in consideration of such payment, that
his personal and official favor and pro-
lection would be accorded to said two
corporations in their official investiga-
ton before said committee.

days before the fortress fell. They
are bound to England.
Russian officers ON the Tartar in
clude the commander of the Liaotishan
fort OH Tigers Tail, Lieutenant Below.
He with others of the crew of the bat
tleship Sevastopol was assigned to
shore duty. over six hundred of the
100 men on the Sevastopol were sent
ashore and all the big guns of the war
ships were taken ashore. Only some
small pieces were left on the battleship
when she was destroyed and less than
a hundred men were on board. Four
torpedoes struck her Then she was
scuttled, most of her crew escaping.
The Sevastopol was sunk in deep
water. Other warships may be recov-
cred but she will not be.
Who Were Not Heroes
Lieut.. Below thinks Port Arthur
could not have been held much longer.
There was no food and not much am
munition for the large ordnance, al
though plenty for the small pieces. For
the last two and a half months Of the
siege no junks arrived.
The Russian officers claim Gen. Kon-
dratenko, chief Of engineers, and Gen.
Biely, chief of artillery, were the he
roes of the siege. After Kondraten-
kos death, they say, the officers seemed
to give most of their attention to their
personal safety. Two-thirds of the ma
val brigade were killed at 203 Meter
hill.

scene occurred The garrison was

flag shall be spared it's fate" Priests
offered prayers, officers standing by
with the flags. Col. Khilkoff, wounded,
by two men, limped forward
kissed the flag of his regiment and
tossed it into a fire, as also his shoul-
der straps. Other officers followed his
example. The flag-burning episode
lasted three hours
Blockade Evasion Easy
The blockade runners of Port Ar
thur say they had no trouble evading
the blockade, though the strain of con-
slant watching was severe. Their car
go, mostly barley, was loaded at Bon-
bay. They were promised liberal
bonuses if successful, but received only
their pay. After Port Arthur fell the
Japanese seized their vessel. They
were taken to Japan and there were
released. They were kindly treated.

propriation bill to the assembly just
before adjournment late this afternoon.
