St. Petersburg, May 15.-The mys-
terry of the fate of Father Gapon APP
parently was cleared up yesterday by
the discovery of corpse which has
almost positively been identified as
that of the former priest, hanging in
the upper chamber of a lonely villa in
the summer suburb of Ozerlli, Finland.
The villa was rented April for the
summer and a deposit paid by man
from ST. Petersburg, whose identity is
unknown to the police. After visiting
the house several times in company
with a young workman he disappeared
April II, taking the key with him.
The proprietress of the villa, b.
coming alarmed at the non-appearan
of the tenant, notified the police, W
entered the house.
Hanging FroKs a Nail.
Breaking down a door they were
confronted by body in a long coat
hanging from nail the feet touching
the floor.
Decomposition of the face made pos
tive identification difficult, but the
features resembled those of Gapon and
the clothing corresponds with that
worn by the missing labor leader. AS
the usual symptoms of strangulation
were absent, it is conjectured that the
man was killed elsewhere and his
body brought to the villa on the night
OF April 10. This would agree with
the date of the execution of Gapon
given in information Of the secret po-
lice and with the death sentence of the
former priest as announced in recent
dispatches from Berlin.

Washington, May IL. - The senate
yesterday completed the consideration
of the second section of the railroad
rate bill and just before adjournment
listened to the reading of sections 3
and A. This reading brings the consid-
GRAFTON of the bill up to the Allison
compromise amendments which will
be taken up to-day.
A number of important changes
We're maze in the second section in
Guiding a provision restoring the i'm
prisonment penalty of the act of 1887,
and an amendment suggested by Sen
ator McCumber imposing fine and i'm
prisonment against shippers who ac-
cept rebates from transportation com
panles.
Shells and projectiles for the navy
department will, after June 80, 1906,
be purchased by the bureau of ord
nance in the open market instead of,
as is now the practice, in secret mar
kets, from firms engaged in the manu-
facture of these articles. This change
was brought about through the efforts
of the chairman of the appropriations
committee, Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota,
who offered an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill directing the
change.

TABAH EVACUATED BY TURKS.
Full Satisfaction for Great Britain Ex
pected-Restore Status Quo.


Constantinople, May 15.-Tabah has
been evacuated by the Turkish troops,
by order of the sultan.
The porte's reply on Friday to the
British note agreed to the evacuation
OF Tabah and to the appointment of
commission for the delimitation of the
boundary, but it was couched in such
terms as to make it not acceptable to
Sir Nicholas O'Conor, the British am
bassador, and he has insisted on COM
plete satisfaction before the expiration
of the limit set by the British note. 1t
is fully expected that this will be &C.

Will Restore Status Quo.
London, May 15-According to spe-
clal dispatches from Constantinople
printed in this mornings newspapers
the porte's reply to the British note
promised to restore the status quo on
the Sinai peninsula and the delimita-
ton OF the frontier by Turkish and
Egyptian officials now on the spot. Sir
Nicholas O'Conor, the British ambas-
sador to Turkey. insists on the delim-
itation by an Anglo-Turkish cunmis
sion. This is the demand that the
sultant is trying to evade, as it would
acknowledge Great Britain's protector
ate over Egypt from the Ottoman en-
pire, while the sultan wishes to main
tain before the world that Egypt is a
portion of his empire.

FREE FIGHT AT DoWIE MEETING.
Aged Apostle Calls VoIiva Overseers
Robbers, and Fun Starts

Chicago, May 15.-A meeting over
which John Alexander Dowie presided
at Zion City yesterday aftSnoon was
broken up by a number of followers of
the opposing faction, assiS1ed by sew
| eral outsiders, and before the crowd
dispersed free fight occurred.
Dowie was addressing the audience,
numbering about 900, and made the
statement that the overseers of the
Noiva faction are thieves and robbers.
AT once a number of those in the audi
ence We're on their feet shouting NO.
no, you are the robber; why don't you
pay your debts
Violent Disturbance.
The disturbance became so violent
that Zion guard was sent to restore
order The guard took hold of an old
man who was loudest in his demon
STATIONS on Dowie, and this was the
signal for the fight
A dozen men seized the guard and
We're about to drag him down the aisle,
when Gladstone Dowie and Deacon Ar
rington mounted the platform and
called upon the audience not to create
disturbance and to take their seats.
After quiet had been restored Dowie
again attempted to proceed with his
meeting, but he was jeered and called
traitor and robber until he dismissed
the audienece

Washington, May ~. - Senator
Bailey's non-suspension amendment
applying to orders of the interstate
commerce commission as covered by
the railroad rate bill, which has &C.
cupied SO much of the attention of the
senate in connection with that bill,
was yesterday adversely disposed of
by the decisive vote of % to 81, prac-
tically a party vote.
An amendment offered by Mr. Ray
ner confining the court review to con-
stitutional questions was also voted
down.
A number of other amendments Of
fered in the main by Democrats and
by Senator La Toilette. were rejected.
The only amendments accepted were
those offered by Senator Allison
striking out the phrase fairly re-
munerative" in the provision allowing
the interstate commerce commission
to fix rates; limiting the operations
of orders of the commission to two
years; and making the interstate COM
merce commission the defendant in
suits challenging the rates fixed by it.
After passing $50 pension bills the
house yesterday devoted much time
to considering a point of order made
by Mr. Tawney (Minn.) against an ap-
preparation for new steel floating
dock in the naval appropriation bill
The chair held the point of order we'll
taken in carefully prepared opinion.

MAY BE OYSTER FAMINE.
Non-Arrival Of Vessels is Subject of
Comment

An oyster famine Of small proportions in
this city for Christmas is said to be indi-
Gated unless the uptown dealers have large
stocks of the bivalves on hand. When re-
porter for The Star visited the oyster wharf
yesterday afternoon two little boats that
had arrived Friday night were lying at the
wharf, but they had sold out their cargoes
and there was not an oyster sale aboard
the vessels. The oyster dealers at the
wharf all have oysters in stock and.l it is
stated, are asking Is cents to $1.3O per
bushel for them. The worst part of the out
look is the fact that no one at the wharf
had any idea when oyster laden vessels
would arrive.
Capt. Tucker the wharf superintendent,
stated that tow of vessels was reported
coming up the river, but they should have
arrived Friday, and their not coming made
him believe that there would be no vessels
here between this and Christmas.
This is the first time in many years that
a large fleet of oyster-laden boats have not
arrived here in time for the Christmas mar
ket, and the men on the wharf are at
loss to understand what has become of the
vessels. The fact that there are no oysters
at the wharf does not mean that Washing
ton is to be entirely deprived of oysters for
turkey dressing and for Christmas dinners,
as the bivalves can easily be obtained by
the dealers from Norfolk or from Balti-
more or other points on Chesapeake bay.

GOVERNED BY DECISION.
Departmental Ruling Regarding
Quarantine of Live Stock.

In accordance with the decision OF the
Supreme Court Of the United States in the
cases of the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany, plaintiff in error, against J. U. Nc
Kendree and against T. c. Edwards, rem
dered on the 18th instant, 1t is announced
at the Agricultural Department that here
after "the rules and regulations of the Sec
rotary of Agriculture. governing the quar-
antine OF live stock must be confined in
terms to interstate commerce. If portion
of a state be quarantined the federal gov
eminent can only control the movement Of
live stock from the quartined part of the
state to another state or territory, and
must look to the state government TO pre-
vent the movement from the quarantned
part of the state to the non-quarantined
part of the same state.
There will be some verbal changes in the
quarantine regulations of the Secretary to
conform to the decision of the Supreme
Court in these cases, and the department
will be compelled to insist that any state, a
portion of which is quarantined, shall abb
solutely prevent the movement of live stock
between the quarantned and the non-quar-
antined part of the state"
