FIRST REBUFF
BY NICHOLAS
Anglers Parliament in Declining to
Receive It's Deputies.
AN AUDIENCE REFUSED
Committee is Tod to Present Reply to
Speech from the Throne Through
Ministry Of the Court.

A bomb was thrown into the par
liamentary camp at st. Petersburg
Sunday afternoon by a note received
by President Mouromtzeff of the
lower house, from Peterhoff, which
instead of making an appointment
for an audience at which he and the
,deputation could present the address
in reply to the speech from the
throne, contained the information that
the car would not receive the depu-
tation, and that the address must be
presented through the ministry Of the
court. Disconnected utterly at this
unexpected development, the leaders
of The majority in the house hastily
summoned a caucus of the cOnstitu-
tional democratic deputies. President
Mouromtzeff instead OF sending the
address to Baron Fredericks, minis
ter of the imperial house, immediate
ly issued call for a meeting Of
parliament at Ii o'clock Monday and
ask for further instructions.
The FIST disposition of the caucus
of constitutional democrats, which
was in session all the afternoon and
evening, and at midnight had not
been concluded, was to regard the re-
fusal to receive the deputation as
challenge and an open affront, which
was only answerable by a counter
declaration of war. The deputies
were received with rage, but after
the passion had cooled the leaders
realized the danger of too precipitate
action and set for themselves the task
of bringing their enraged followers
under control
An interesting constitutional point
is involved in the refusal of a per
sonal audience by the emperor. Ac-
cording to the parliamentary law ''the
president submits to the considera-
ton of the emperor the transactions
of the lower house." but it is not
stated whether he does so personally,
and a deputation is nowhere author
lied The Associated Press is inform
ed by member of the ministry that
Emperor Nicholas was willing to re-
ceive President Mouromtzeff, but that
the act Of the house in appointing
delegation to accompany him was re-
garde1 as a dangerous precedent,
capable of being stretched to include
a deputation of any size-even to the
whole of the membership of the house.
This minister intimated that if the
leaders Of the house decide to avoid
a rupture they could do so either by
accepting the instructions to present
the address through the ministry of
the court as a proper and justifable
matter of routine or could, by keep
ing within the limits of the consti-
tutional provision, direct the president
of the house to apply at once for an
audience. 1t was pointed out that no
distinction had been made between
the lower house and the council Of
the empire, and that the last named
body had also been instructed to pre-
sent its address through the same
channel.

LUMINOUS CHRISTIANS.
Rev. j. N. Beadles breaches for
Peculiar Subject ut N. E. Church.

Yesterday morning the Rev. j. M.
Beadles preached a very interesting
and striking sermon from the theme,
Luminous Christians" Mr.. Beadles
prefaced his theme with short re-
view of Christ and His work on earth.
He then gave some of the fundamental
laws governing light.
A luminous body gives of light
waves equally in every direction. The
light shines upon all subjects with
absolute impartiality. This is the man
ner In which Christians should let
their lights shine in the world. Also
the intensity of light decreases as the
square of the distance through which
the waves have Travelled increases.
This Is also true of Christians.
The people who profess the name
Of Christ. shine only by reflected light.
Like the great moon which reflects
back to earth the light OF the invisi-
BILE sun. 30 the Christian reflects the
light of the divine sun of God and
sheds 1t abroad on his fellow men.
The rays Of light shine with the
same warmth and brightness on the
American beauty rose and the mean
est flower, God is absolutely impair
tial. he gives to all the same chance
and the same rights. The Christian
man whether in howell or palace, is
equal in the eyes of God. All are in
tergers of the same dimensions in His
eyes If all live equally pure and
.Christianlike lives.
Luminous christians are those who
shine by the reflected light of Gods
love and In the great and final day of
Judgment. all who reflect their light,
be it ever SO feeble ray, and. yet is
their whole luminous capacity, will
be equal in the eyes Of their God.

BANQUET AT M. i. CHURCH.
Semi Konthly Supper OF the ,Youn,
Mems Bible Class.

The Young Mems Bible class of the
First Methodist church gave their
regular semi-monthly supper in the
dining rooms of the schurch Friday
night DR.. Robertson. president Of
[ Wesley college, was the speaker of
the evening. TheNdoctor gave an in
teresting and encouraging report Of
his recent trip to the east in the in
terests of the college. y :jtt
The Young Mems Bible class under
the enthusiastic leadership Of. DR..
Stewart and Mr.. Porte, is growing in
interest and in members, and the fort
nightly suppers of the class with
their short talks and witticisms are
among the happiest social functions
of the church.
1t is the worthy ambition of the
leaders to increase the membership
of the class to one hundred at an early
date.
1t is surely an inspiration to be as
ISOLATED with this splendid body. of
young men of high ideals.
The speaker for the next meeting
will be published later.
Luminous Christians will be Rev.
J. M. Beadles' subject at the First
Methodist church tomorrow morning.

theme.

THE RIVER IS RISING
VERY RAPIDLY !.
TODAY
Red Ri: River s!S Of f. the North is
Breaking Up Early This
y...s.. e. i Spring. I

The Red River of the North is ris-
ing, rapidly, here and the ice. is going
out quite as rapidly. While there is
absolutely no danger. Of a food unless
caused by the headwater sendin g
down a large surplus ofptwaters in the
near future, the river has been risin !,
very rapidly and is almost bank full
from Fargo to the boundary
All along the river preparations are
being made against flood but this is
merely precautionary. Here at Grand
Forks the river is far from bank full
where the banks are high but the
bottoms are being overlooked in many
places.
While the ice is quite solid yet in
some places; it has been broken loose
from the banks in many places by the
force of the rising waters and in 9TH
ers has been ground up and the chan
mel of the river is free from it.
At the present rate it will not be
long until the river will be free from
/ ice, and then the danger of high
waters will be very small for the next
six weeks.

votes. Last election the total number
of votes cast was 1880. The increase
this election is figured Ivy the con-
|, servatives at between $50 and 400.
Workers for the different candidates
were on hand at the various polling
places. at an early hour. So strong
was the rivalry that committees were
at the Great Northern depot in the
morning to meet the trains, literally
dragging their friends and acquaint-
ances to the polls to vote for their
respective favorites.
The First Ward.
Up to 1890 a. M, one hundred and
forty-eight votes had been polled in
the First ward-which has been adj
mitted to be Duis stronghold, but
according to the Dinnie workers. the
Working Mans Friend" was making
very good showing, and votes which
1t had been figured would check off
for Duis, were being marked up for
Dinnie. Last election total of ESQ
votes was polled in this ward. Lam
der received IA. Duis 1870 and there
was shrinkage Of 6. However, with
a registration of 800 in the ward, the
vote this election will very likely run
a hundred stronger than in the last.
The Off1cers of election in this ward
are Judge Templeton and Colonel

hour scores OF working men voted.
This is the big ward of the city,
casting 45S votes two years ago and
is the storm center of the present
campaign. Both candidates claim the
ward by safe majorities but it looks
at a late hour this afternoon as if the
claims of the republican party that
John Dinnie would carry the ward by
a safe majority are we'll founded.
There is no other ward in the city
where the same amount Of work has
been done by the respective candidates
and the vote of the ward may decide
the results of the election.
There has been much challenging,
specially of students from the univer-
sity, fully so having sworn their votes
in while comparatively large num-
Der have been turned away.
The Duis men claim the ward on the
strength of the vote two years ago
when he carried it by so majority, re-
ceiving 266 to Lander's 1856. The total
vote for mayor was 1852, there being
scattering votes.
There has been no trouble of any
kind in the ward other than argu-
ments with over officious policemen,
who guarded. the door of the polling
places with more zealousness than
was necessary.
First Precinct.
The First precinct of the Second
ward was one of the busiest polling
places in the city. The voting took
place in the Arlington-Park house and
things were lively all day. At 12
o'clock $40 votes had been cast as
against a total of 237 two years ago.

Grand Forks will not be favored this
year by the annual spring drop of 80
cents on the price of hard coal. Word
was received at all the large coal Of
fees today that no lessening of the
price would be made On the first of
April. The order will affect all deal
ers and people who have been putting

customary reduction will be COM
PEELED to pay the price that has been
in effect the greater part of the win

The order in question is due, it is
said, to the strike rumors that are
! now prevalent in coal mining circles.
Local coal men claim that until the
Wage question in the east is definitely
settled there Is no possible chance for
the price Of coal to decrease. II there
Is no immediate settlement of the
wage differences 1t is possible that
the price of coal will be raised on the
first of May.
The local docks at Duluth all have
9 good supply of hard coal on hand.

than former years. On grades in

Geo. E. Duis cast the one hundred

The prediction that quite large
number of votes would be sworn in
proved correct in this ward. More
than fifty unregistered voters had bal

the total number of votes cast was
2S2, or two more than the entire vote
cast at the last election. William

Election day dawned bright and
roseate on Grand Forks and her citi-
zens to the number of thousands were
astir at an early hour. Before the
whistles had blown for o'clock, there
were crowds on the streets and here
and there were gathered knots of peo-
pie engaged in the discussion of cleo
ton probabilities.
Interest in the days doings began
to rise soon after the opening of the
polls and gradually assembled until
the fever heat was reached. This
condition continued all through the
day, and on numerous occasions
brawls were only avoided by the pres
ence of members of the regular and
special police force.
Chief of Police Lowe. in anticipation
of possible complications. swore in six
special officers and had them on duty
at the different polling places. In adj
d1tion to these men, all the members
OF the regular police force, both night
and day men. were called out and
kept on duty.
AS a result of today's election from
$4,000 to $4,000 in small amounts will
change hands. Not many large bets
are known to have been made, al
though several 500 wagers were laid
In the Dacotah hotel Sunday evening.
One man. whose enthusiasm for Duis
overcame his better judgment, laid Il
wager of 500 that his favorite would
have majority of four hundred votes
over John Dinnie. Two or three hun
dred bets in amounts of IS and $40
are known to have been made. but the
general feeling on the street was that
the fight was close enough to pre-
clude the claim Of cinch for either
candidate for the Position of chief exc
.cutive. -
There was quite rush for the polls
i'll some wards about 1880 and the
early vote was the largest ever re-
corded in a municipal election in
Grand Forks. By 9 o'clock the vote
polled was, conservatively estimated at
between six and seven hundred
third of the entire vote to be cast.
Up to the noon hour, to all appear
ances, the vote in the different wards,
with the possible exception OF the
First, was about evenly divided. Din
ME and Duis-the two "D's"-were
running neck and neck In the First
ward the Duis vote was polled early,
according to the ward councilmen.
During the day four-wheeled vehi-
Giles carrying banners with invitations
to voters to cast their ballots for the
different candidates flew here and.
there, furnishing conveyance to the
polls. Probably a hundred men and
teams were thus engaged.
With a registration of 1917 to draw
upon, vote of very nearly 1000 is an
