TO PROCLAIM AMNESTY
But No Freedom for Terrorists in Forth
coming Proclamation.

St. Petersburg, May 23.-The long
awaited political amnesty will be pro-
claimed May 81, the anniversary of the
coronation of Emperor Nicholas II. The
exact scope Of the measure has not as
yet been determined. 1t will, as antici-
pated be limited, but the constitutional
democratic party is prepared, tho
grudglng!ly, to accept the act Of grace
from which the terrorists are excluded
recognizing, tho not publicly, that the
government is not altogether uniustiied
In refusing to set at large men who
will be as ready in the future as they
have been in the past to shoot down or
blow to pieces hated representatives of
authority
Their demand for ultimate amnesty
was based on the expectation that with
the institution of full constitutional
era, the terrorists, as was promised in
an open letter just before the assassina-
ton of Alexander H. would abandon
actlVe operations, but they have been
forced to admit that the crimes of the
last few days give the government no
guarantee that the promise will be kent,
The administration is daily cutting
down the number Of prisoners who NAV
be affected by the amnesty, releasing
convicts by hundreds in the provinces.
while among those released in st. Pc
tersburg are twenty-seven members of
the council of workmen s delegates. who
drew up the famous manifesto preach
ing raid on the government gold re-
serve. ..t.t.
Premier Goremykin has been sum,

WANT WHAT 4
REPUBLIC OFFERS
Universal Suffrage, Immunity of
Person, Inviolability of Home,
Habeas Corpus.
II They Don't Get Tt All They'll
Fight-Reign of Anarchy
Predicted.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-The central
committee of the constitutional demo-
. Gratis has completed the drafts of the
laws to be introduced in parliament, in.
GLIDING universal suffrage, irrespective
Of sex and equal rights for all citizens;
laws guaranteeing immunity of the per
son and inviolability Of domicile with
out due process Of law, providing also
the guarantee of habeas corpus and spe-
officially excluding all exceptions.
While no party at court favors COM
plete surrender to the demands Of the
lower house of parliament, tho TrepoR
cabal which secretly favors dissolu-
ton of parliament, is not strong enough
for the moment to seriously urge such a
course.
The emperor continues we'll disposed,
and is supported not only by many no
bles at the court, but by other big
landed proprietors thruout the country,
| who now seem fully convinced that un-
less the peasants can be measurably
satisfied by compromise on the Land
question, a revolt of the peasants
against the mobiles, will be aroused,
which will ruin the latter, as the peas
ants will forcibly seize their property to
| the accompaniment Of horrors and ex-
| cesses.
Mobiles Fleeing.
The provincial papers are filled with
! advertisements offering estates for sale
inserted by property owners, who de-
spairing Of saving their property are
ready to accept what they can get and
flee from the country.

FREE STREETCAR
RIDES ON BRIDGE
City Officials Convince Street
Railway of Public's Rights
on Bridge.

When Mayor Jones and Alderman
Lars Rand join forces, something is apt
to happen. Such a coalition took place
today and as result pedestrians desir-
ing to cross the Washington avenue
bridge while the present reconstruction
work is on will be carried over the riv-
er without charge by the street railway
company.
This plan goes into effect today, and
will be maintained until the bridge s
open for foot passengers.
This arrangement was effected at a
meeting held today in the mayor 8 office,
and attended by Mayor David P. Jones,
City Engineer Andrew Rinker, Bridge
Engineer Oustad, the contractors and
Aldermen Lars NJ. Rand, w. E. Satter-
representing the second and sixth
wards.
Alderman Rand insisted that if the
city could keep the bridge open for
street railway passengers it was equally
it's duty to care for the foot passengers.
The former, he declared, were not emit
tied to any more privileges than the
latter. Inasmuch as the bridge was be-
ing rebuilt solely on account of the
street railway company, he believed the
company should be required to take pc.
destrians across without expense. May
or Jones was strongly Of the same opin
ion, and approved the plan, as did the
other officials.
When the matter was preached tt
General Manager w. J. Held he prom
ised to make arrangements within ar
hour. Those desiring to cross will be
supplied with transfer good only across
the river. sAH.eas
Instructions were also given the
bridge department to expedite the work
of laying the sidewalks so that these
could be opened for travel as soon as
I possible. 80 .;- .--' .,1-

EASTERN CANADA !.
WILL FIGHT HILL
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy Arouses
It With a Speech on Canada
for Canadians
From q Staff Correspondent.

Quebec, May 23.-Eastern Canada
would have Canada ego it alone.' At
banquet at the Chateau Frontenac
here, following the first sailing Of the
Canadian Pacifc's sumptuous new At
lantic liner, the Empress of Britain,
from this port, Sir Thomas Shaughnes-
sy, president of the Canadian Pacific,
voiced the sentiment, "Canada for Ca
nadians,' and was cheered to the echo
by nearly three hundred Canadians
members of the Quebec Board of
ming, and distinguished citizens from
Montreal and other cities of Canada.
Canadian business for Canadian en-
terprise and Canadian traffic for Ca
madam ines-these were the keynote of
the meeting.
Reciprocity, said the president Of the
Canadian Pacific, was not to be allowed
to deprive Canadian commercial inter
ests of their business and foreign trans
portation companies were not to rob
established home lines of their traffic
by being granted exemption from re-
strictions imposed by charter upon home
companies, and cheer after cheer showed
that the Canadians Of eastern Canada
were with Mr.. Shaughnessy.
Political Fight Probable.
Reciprocity, of which Mr.. Hill talked
50 hopefully in Winnipeg, is, there
fore, not to be had without serious op
position from the older portion of the
Dominion, and Mr.. Hill s railroad plans
for the Canadian northwest are not tc
go unchallenged. Whether western
Canada will stand by eastern Canada
in the position taken at the Quebec
banquet to Mr.. Shaughnessy remains
to be SEEN, There can be no question
however, about the feeling here. Il
western Canada stands by the views
expressed by Mr.. Hill, there will be {
lively political fight between the west
and the east.
Whatever the outcome of such g
struggle, the Canadian Pacific system
is determined to be in the best possible
condltlon to secure and hold its share
of Canadian traffic, not only across thu
continent, but across the seas-across
both the Pacific and the Atlantic. Thai
is one meaning. Of the establishment OF
| the new line of steamers between Que
| bee and Liverpool.

TO HIT BEEF TRUST
ON SANITARY LINES
President Believed to Be Getting
Fresh Grip on big
Stick"
Federal Agents Have Probed
Packing Conditions
Will Be "Meaty.''.

Washington, May 23.-An interesting
in the Chicago stockyards and packing
plants will soon be transmitted to con-
gress by the president. Following the
furore created by the charges in Upton
Sinclair s book, ''The Jun gle,' federal
agents were sent to Chicago to make
thoro investigation of conditions and
customs alleged in the book to exist.
The inquiry was quietly conducted by
Charles P. Neil, labor commissioner and
James B. Reynolds, assistant secretary
Of the treasury. The results are now
being shaped into final report which
it is said, the president will transmit
to congress- accompanied by comment
and suggestions Of his own. It is
that, while not going to the extremes Of
"The Jungle charges, the report
points out certain things which are
proper material for congressional atten-
ton.
The expectation that the president 3
comment will be forceful is based upon
the theory that the administration is
smarting under it's defeat thru techni-
calities in the recent criminal proceed
ings against the packers and is not like
ly in consequence to overlook an oppor-
