st Petersburg, May 1S.-The critical
moment which will decide whether
there will be peace or war between
the crown and the people apparently
arrived with the adoption by the lower
house of parliament last night of its
reply to the speech from the throne.
President Mouromtseff has gone to
PeterhOf to present the reply to the
emperor ana his majesty's response is
awaited with great anxiety. Popular
opinion considers that The government
has no option between surrender nor
war. Nevertheless, while events during
the past week followed each with eX.
IRENE anxiety the issue now raised is
likely to be decided quietly. Russians
generally believe that the emperor's
court and government undoubtedly
has been dazed by the blunt and direct
fashion with which parliament has
spoken out their policy naturally will
be to gain time. The emperor per
sonally is in a beneicient frame of
mind and for the present will not list
en- to the cOUnsels of those who aO-
wise him to dissolve parliament and
fight. Nevertheless he is resolved not
to yield anything like all that parlia-
nient demands It safely can be pre-
6icted therefore that he will present a
temporizing policy with partial amnes-
ty as the finst sop thrown to the cOun-
try. The constitutional. democratic

Washington, May 18.-After seventy
DAYS Of almost continuous elaboration
the senate finally, late this afternoon,
passed the railroad rate bill by the
practically unanimous vote Of Il to 3.
The three negative votes were cast by
Foraker, republican, of Ohio; and Nor
gan and Pettus, democrats, Of Alaba-
ma.
There was an almost general sigh Of
rel Of among the senators when the
vote was announced. The bill received
more attention in the senate and from
the country at large than any measure
before congress since the repeal of
the purchasing clause in the Sherman
act in 1898.
The bin was reported to the senate
February IS and made unfinished bust
ness March y. From that date to
Nav 4, the bill was under general dis
CussiOn without Limitation on dura-
ton Of speeches, fifty-eight Of which
were made. For twelve days the bin
had been under consideration under
the rule limiting speeches to fifteen
minutes. The debate at all times was
earnest and animated, but for the most
part devoid Of personalities. but the
past few days called out caustic criti-
cisms o. he president and some news
paper correspondents by Senator Bal
ley.

TILLMAN SAYS RESULT

Washington, May 1S.-Just before
the final vote in the senate today on
the railroad rate bill, Senator TIllma1
took the floor. After announcing his
intention TO vote for the bill as the

But for the work of Theodore
Roosevelt in bring ng this matter to
the attention Of the country we would
NOT have had any bill at all. True,
that demand for legislation was made
IN three democratic platforms, never
theless he seized upon the idea and

him on the victory, for I think we
should have had a better bill"
Senator Tillman complimented the
republican party on the practical
unanmity Of the vote, but predicted
that some scars would remain as the
result Of the conflict that had taken
Place within the ranks Of the party.

government to declare war as a big
preliminary victory, of which they

which they count to strengthen them

That the court reactiOniSts headed

every way possible to influence the

discovery made by the "Rech" Of a

The Vice President referred to the

church is nevertheless a powerful

The sociaistic tendency in certain
quarters has not escaped the attention

events. Its growth cannot be viewed
except with concern, for it bodies no
