MORE TROUBLE IN
 RUSSIAN ooumA.
Socialist Leader Says the Govern. ment's Remedy Is Bullets and
 Bayonets,

St. Petersburg, June 9.--The off
 cial messenger this morning resum,
 ed the publication of Black Hundred
 telegrams while the radical papers
 retorted by printing numerous dis.
 patches addressed to deputies sus-
 taining the attitude Of parliament.
 The spirit of conflict which pre-
 vailed at yesterday session contin,
 ued at the sitting today, although
 some of the leaders of the Constitu, tional Democrats went into the breach to stay too nasty action. M. Vinaver's project, of which he gave notice yesterday to change tre regu- Iations of the house which form part of the fundamental law or consti- tuition, so as to eliminate all control of the ministers either in the draft ing or manipulation of bills. was in troduced in the house. The project simply provides that copies of bills shall go to the ministers and that the ministers shall have weeks no. tlce of bills which are to be eonsid cred
 1t also provides that al, bills shan 20 to the consideration of the regul- ar committees of the house instead of the ministers as the regulations row provide.
 Violent Speeches.
 MM. Annitin and Aladdin. the pres ent party leaders. used thn occasion ta make violent speeches in which they argued that it was useless for parliament to proceed in the regular way. The government intended to rely on bullets and bayonets, and it "as pas'liaments duty to raise a banner under which the people would nsht when the inevitable collision comes
 M. Annitin gave notice that he would take the first opportunity 10 Mefpellate the government, first, as c whether the minist IFS in theis '9ilsclence did not recognize that the Sdole nation joined in the houses -ote of distrust of the ministers; eeond, if so, had they made their Jews known to the emperor; third. they have. what reply has the em~ eror made

WORSE THAN CARRIE NATION.
Kansas Officials Destroy Liquor and
Bar Fixtures and On the Hunt
for More.

Kansas City, Kas.-The anti-saloon
crusade at Kansas City, Kas., has
been renewed with increased vigor.
In addition to destroying stocks of
liquor and bar fixtures, C. w. Trick
EFT, the assistant encouragement ap-
pointed by Gov. Hoch to enforce the
prohibition law, threatened to demol-
ish saloon buildings if the owner per
sisted in renting their places to joint
keepers.
Atty.-Gen. Trickett has sent out
warnings to property owners, which
read:
"This is to notify you that if you
permit said premises to be again used
for the sale of intoxicating liquors, so
as to make necessary the issuance Of
a second writ Of abatement, ! SHALL
ORDER THE PREMISES SUFFl-
GENTLY DEMOLISHED so THAT
NO THIRD TRIP WILL BE NECES-
SARY, and in addition will cite you
for contempt of court in aiding and
assisting in violating the order of the
court"
There are about one hundred sa-
looms in Kansas City, Kas., about fifty
of which have been closed. The of
ficials continue to spill liquor and
break up costly bars, tables and other
furniture, and to search for more.

Need of Americans.

Under the modest heading Suits
Over Small Sums" the Boston Tran
script declares that the great principle
of fighting for rights, no matter what
the immediate material thing at stake,
is a thing that the American character
needs to assimilate. The Transcript
stys: Highly important decisions
have been based on issues involving
very small money considerations. The
supreme court of the United States last
wenter, gave a good deal of time and
research to a cause carried before 1t
on appeal involving only $24. A rail-
road was, in this case, the defendant.
1t owed one of it's employees, a train
hand, this sum-, which was attached
and collected by one of his creditors.
The employee contended that the money
was still due him, and carried the
case up to the highest tribunal in the
land. Our own famous Chief Justice
Shaw wrote one of his most luminous
expositions of legal principles in de-
cMing a case which turned on the
ownership of a bull calf. 1t is related
that the bar snickered at the frequent
repetition of the phrase "the said DULL
calf" and the chief justice rebuked
the laughing lawyers by saying:
Gentlemen, you do not reflect what
a bull calf may be to a poor family"
Robert Browning went to law over the
value of one bottle of wine, on the
great principle that he would not be
swindled for half a crown if he could
help it. The Kicker" is often the
subject of ridicule, but kickers have
helped the world along at times.
Given a great, scenic environment and
the Kicker becomes a historical per-
sonage Of the first class. John Hamp-
den would never have felt" the
amount of ship money" assessed on
his estate.

FIRST Session OF
THE 59TH CONGRESS
Ire WORK ENDED AND MANY I'M
PORTANT MEASURES WERE
PASSED.
The Struggle Over the Railroad Rate
Bill and Meat Inspection Has End
ed-Lock Type for Panama Canal,
the Pure Food and the Regular Ap-
preparation Bills Passed.

Washington-The work of the first
session of the fifty-ninth congress Is
at an end. All the regular appropri-
alton bills passed, and several impor-
tant measures which have attracted
the attention Of the entire country
have become laws.
Railroad rate bill passed only a few
hours before the closing, and, accord
ing to the provisions of the measure,
will become a law within 60 days.
The senate agreed to the conference
report.
Lock canal bill passed both houses
and was signed by the president. This
means that the congress stands COM
mitted to the lock type of canal across
the istnmus of Panama.
Pure food bill and the naturaliza-
ton bill become laws through the sig
nature of the president.
Meat inspection-The senate agreed
to the conference report on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, which car
ried with it the meat inspection legis-
lation desired by the administration,
and the measure passed. The govern
ment pays the cost of inspection, and
there will be no date on labels of
canned packing house products.

SAFETY APPLIANCES ON ROADS.
Atty.-Gen. Moody Announces That the
- Government Will Prosecute for
Violations of the Law.

Washington-Atty.-Ge Gen. Moody an
nounces that all United States district
attorneys have been instructed to be-
gin a series of prosecutions against the
railroads for violations of the provi-
sions of the ACT requiring safety appli-
ances on all railroad equipment In use.
The announcement of the attorney gen.
eral is due to the recommendations OF
the interstate commerce commission,
which has been struggling with the
roads for the past eight years in an
effort to have the law enforced.
As a matter or fact. the announce
ment marks no radical departure on
the part of the government as to the
attitude taken under the law, but only
serves to give notice that he delays
which have been tolerated thus far will
not be permitted longer. The interstate
commerce commission itself has sue
cessfully prosecuted no less than 600
cases against the railroads for failure
to comply with the law. In every case
the railroad was convicted in the
courts, and under the law was fined
500 for each offense proven.

BREAKERS AHEAD FOR GAR.
His Cabinet Is Unpopular, and the
Army DisloyaI, From Officers
Down to Men.

St. Petersburg-The campaign in
parliament to compel the emperor to
dismiss the Goreymykin cabinet, and
accept the principle of a responsible
ministry, promises TO be successful.
M. Pobiedonozteff, the %procurator gen.
eral of the holy synod, is said to have
advised the emperor to do this as the
only means of preserving the throne.
News from the provinces shows
that general anarchy is growing. The
army is ~honeycombed with sedition.
The Preobrajensky regiment, the
cars own, has proved disloyal. Sol
diers along the German and Austrian
frontier are d~isorderly. Very little re-
lance can be placed in the army, from
officers to men, to uphold the present
regime.

Use Of Vacations.

Most vacations which fail are UNI
successful because they are insists. 1t
is curious that in a matter where In
dividual needs and personal prefer
ences are so important, observes
Youths Companion, the final decision
should so often be allowed to rest on
other grounds. For the great ma
jority of men and women who work,
but who have a vacation, two weeks
represent the limit of time which they
can devote to rest and recreation.
That is only one-twenty-sixth part OF
the year., and most persons need all OF
1t, and need to use it in the wlsest
way. What is the wisest way? NO
one but the person himself can tell;
and hence the folly of allowing one
self to be overwhelmed by the advice
of others. One of the weekly maya
zines lately contained accounts of va
CATIONS In camp, in an automobile. on
a bicycle, on foot, in a canoe, in hunt-
ing with a camera, in seeing Filth
avenue and in searching for wild
flowers. Each of the articles is charm
ing reading, chiefly because the writer
had what he was after-rest, recrea-
ton and a good time. The reader may
easily be misled into thinking that
the charm belongs intrinsically to the
particular kind of a vacation which IS
described. 1t does not. 1t belongs
only to the eXactness with which the
vacation fits. The wisest thing n
can do is to say to himself: what
is it that l should most like to dor
And if it fall within his means, and II
he has only himself and his own pleas
ure to consider, do that, regardless OF
whether anyone else would enjoy 1t,
or whether anyone else has ever done
1t. The hobby or diversion to which
one gives his spare moments during
the rest of the year is often a wise
guide. 1t requires courage and COM
mon sense to disregard conventional
conceptions and half-formed plans,
and to follow the inclination Of the
moment; but the reward is nearly al
ways a happy and restful vacation,
and not ~infrequently at little cost.

The Use of fingermarks Of thumb
marks on checks as a means of guard
ing against forgery and preventing
dishonest persons from raising the fig
ures on them is one of the latest nov-
elites in business. There is a p%osSibil-
fly that it will become more than a
novelty. Apparently the first man to
adapt the idea to business affairs is a
merchant of Plainfield, N. ]. After
writing a check he places an ink i'm
preston of his thumb over the figures,
completely covering but not obliter-
ating them. 1t is manifestly impossible
to raise the figures without making
the interference obvious on the thumb
mark. His banker has an ink impress
sion of his thumb on file and compari-
son with the mark on the check would
instantly reveal any forgery.
