Encou ter Between Monarch and
Representatives Doubtful.
RESULT IS EAGERLY AWAITED
Throne Will Probably Reply to Parlia-
ment on Monday Answer Will
be Deliberate and Seek to
Avoid Rupture.

ST. PETERSBURG, May lS--Issue of
the first encounter between the Monarch
and the representatives of the people
hangs for the moment in the balance.
The throne has not yet replied to the
answers of the houses of parliament to
the address of the ear and none is ex-
pected till Monday. Pres. Mouromsteff
who had hoped to obtain an audience
with the emperor today for the presen-
tation address from the lower house re-
ceived instead an invitation to gala
birthday luncheon at Peterhof tomor-
row, an official function to which no
other high fnctionaries are, hidden.
There was no intimation that the invi.
tation is connected with the request for
an audience. The Associated Press is
informed tonight that the imperial reply
as already predicted will be temperate
and deliberate seeking to avoid the
occasion of a rupture, but not concealing
the emperor's view that parliament in
many respects has attempted to in,
fringe on the imperial prerogative, The

Senator LaFolette of Wisconsin, spoke
three days, and Senator Daniel of Vir-
ginia, two days. Senators Bailey, For
aker, Lodge, Raynor, Dolliyer and others
spoke an entire day. For twelve days
the bill was under consideration under
the fifteen minutes rules. The senate
has at all times been earnest and ami
mated but for the most part devoid of
personalities as between senators.
The past few days however having
called out some caustic criticisms of the
president and some newspaper CORES
pondents by Bailey A number of
speeches were made today The only
amendment adopted was one offered by
Teller eliminating the words "in its judg-
ment" from the power given the inter-

Waldorf Astoria in New York The en-
tire estate was inherited from her
father, John Dolbeer, a lumber mer-
chant, and was bequeathed to Miss
Warren and a few friends. Nothing was
left to the relatives. An uncle, Adolph
Schandler, attempted to break the will,
alleging unsound mind. 1t was hinted
that the young woman may have COM
mitted suicide or have been murdered
by Miss Warren, who was the only per.
son in the room at the time Miss Dol
beer fell from the window. Absolutely
nothing was adduced to substantiate
this suspicion held by few persons.

In spite of flood and car famine the
wheat export trade of Puget sound,
meaning thereby chiefly the port of
Tacoma, broke all records during
the eleven months ending with No

It is only necessary to compare the

and Of -four the shipments from Port
