has not .ake the matter for any
public actio, in the Federation of
Improver1e, ). .ubs of Council Bluffs
representa- : members, the secre-
tary pres the following resolu-
ton: (:
"Wher & Judge Smith Mcpherson,
while a st at the commercial club
banquet lducted himself in such a
manne to insult the governor OF
Iowa, the. commercial club and the
citizens of Council Bluffs; be it
Resolved, That we condemn his
conduct and that resolutions be sent
to President Roosevelt and to Con-
gresham Smith, with the object Of his
impeachment"
The resolution caused a storm in the
federation, and when an effort was
made to appoint committee to pre-
pare the memorial to the president, It
was found difficult to get a committee
willing to act. The committee was to
consist OF, one from each club In the
federation. When one man was named

clared that this man was railroad

job. Then the suggestion was made
that in view of this fact an investiga-
ton might well go further than to in
vestigate the capacity of the court for
champagne.
Just what was finally done appears
not to have been disclosed, but it is
rumored secret committee has been
appointed to prepare memorial and
and to report to each OF the different
clubs of Council Bluffs.
Friends of the Judge point out that
1t would be impossible to impeach a
court for such conduct. as 1t was not
in line of his official conduct, and as a
court he ought not to be held response
BILE for having, as plain politician,
shown his contempt for the governor
OF his state and for his hosts Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
Mcpherson will not be impeached
but he will not again soon get chance
to pose as political opposite to 1owa's
governor.

good many surprises in the results Of

notable was that at Clinton where II.

and comparatively unknown was
elected carrying with him practically

opposed by all the daily papers in the

for campaign purposes. Mayor Peter

years, and who was candidate for re-

oMlNoUs IL RUSSIA
Country Appear. to Be Resting Upon
a Volcano That May Cause a Terri
BILE UpheavaI at Any Moment-Gov-
ernrent Making Preparations g
Suppress With Merciless Hand tho
First Sign Of Outbreak.

st. Petersburg, March 27.-Despite
the governments assurance that anoth-
er extensive outbreak in the immediate
future is Impossible, clouds are lower
ing and there are other indications that
q big storm may break before parlia-
ment meets. The resentment against
the terrible repressive measures of the
government is arousing the people, es-
pecially workmen in the cities, to fury.
This is playing into the hands Of the
revolutionists, who are planning po-
litical strike and a general uprising.
They believe the right moment will
come in mid-April. and both sides are
is likely to be bloodier and more ter
rible than anything previously wit
messed in this country.
The record of arrests last week in
st. Petersburg, besides showing the
awful state of lawlessness in the cap
ital, is eloquent testimony of the meth
DDS by which the government hopes to
prevent the threatened explosion. Ac-
cording to the returns, $50 beggars, 215
persons without passports, 217 thieves,
270 highwaymen, 1,067 "unclassif1ed"
persons which means. political sus-
poets, were taken into custody.
At no time during the war was the
war office buster than now, making
dispositions to suppress the first evil
dences of rebellion. Machine guns and
ammunition are being dispatched in
every direction; troops are being shift
ed and concentrated at strategic points,
armored trains are being stationed at
railroad centers. Ironclad automo-
biles are being sent to the larger cities
for use in street riots. Here and in
Moscow Cossacks and other cavalry are
again patrolling the streets night and
day. The project for a wireless tele-
graph system to enable the government
to communicate with the interior in the
event of strike of the railroad tele-
graph opera tors is being hastily work
ed out. Soldiers are being instructed
how to man trains and work telegra ph
lines. -Intrigues of reactionists at court
are ceaseless. In fact the cabal seems
actually to be fostering an outbreak in
order to suppress it mercilessly and
convince the emperor that the people
cannot be trusted with political Nber-
ties.
