Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires
ST. Petersburg, Russia, May ls.-The
critical moment which will decide
whether there viii be peace or war be-
tween the crown and the people appar-
emily arrived with the adoption by the
lower house Of Parliament, last night. Of
It's reply 20 the speech from tho throne.
President MoWomtsci has gone to
Pctcrhoh to present the reply TO the
Emperor, and His Maiesty's response is
awaited with great anxiety. Popular
opinion considers that the government
has no option between surrender OF war.
Nevertheless while events during the
past week followed each other with ex-
treme mpidity, the issue now raised il
not likely TO be decided quickly. The
Russians generally believe that the Em-
peror, court and government undoubted-
ly have been dazed by the blunt. direct
fashion with which Parliament has
spoken out, and their policy naturally
will be to gain time. The Emperor per-
sonally is in a benehceut frame Of mind
and for the present will not listen to the
counsels OF those who advise him TO dis
solve Parliament and fight. Neverthe-
less, he is resolved not to yield anything
like all that Parliament demands. IL
safely can be predicted, therefore, that
he will pursue a temporizing policy, with
partial amnesty as the first sop thrown
TO tho country. The Constitutional
Democratic leaders, whose programme
would be upset by the dissolution of
| Parliament, are quite as anxious as the
/ Emperor to avoid the precipitation of "a
conflict They would regard the failure
of the government 10 declare war as
big preliminary victory, Of which they
would take advantage by forcing through
their agrarian project, upon which they
count to strengthen themselves ia the
country before the final battlo opens.
That the court Reactionista, headed
by Con. Trepoif, are seeking IN every
way possible 10 influence the Emperor 10
fight ia apparent by tho discovery made
by the Reoh OF a secret circular sent 10
the governors, instructing them TO have
the Black Hundred organizations imme-
dately dispatch 10 the Emperor protests
against amnesty and tho abolition Of
the death penalty. Those have been
flowing into Peterhof from all directions,
over 80 being printed in the Official Mes
senger today.

MOST UNIQUE AND OAR
ING TRAIN ROBBERY

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-One of
the most unique and daring train
robberies in the history of the South
west was committed 100 miles east
of Kansas City early today between
Slater and Armstrong, Mo. A masked
man, single-handed, robbed twenty
passengers in three cars of the fast
eastbound combination Burlington
passenger train. After about half
hours work he secured approximately
$4,000, besides several watches and
pieces of jewelry. The man finally
was overpowered by E. B. Haywood
the train conductor, who knocked
him to the floor. The robber was
made to disgorge, and four hours af-
ter the robbery was committed was
placed in Jail. The robber, who said
his name was Truehart and that he
came from California, was recognized
as the same man who on Nov. Z, in
exactly the same manner and at the
same place, went through the rear
sleeper on a Rock Island train run
ming over the same track.

APPEAL FOR PROTECTION
OF HOME GOVERNMENT

Chicago, Nov. 26.-The U. S. gov
ernment has been asked to furnish
protection for labor leaders engaged
in conducting a strike in another
country. An appeal came yesterday
from Frederick Fay, who is leading
a street car strike in Hamilton, Ont.
After serious riots Saturday night in
Hamilton, in which many were in
jured, the Canadian authorities ord
cred Fay to leave the country at
once. Fay declined to go, and instead,
sent telegram to Chicago asking for
aid. The message was received by
w. d. Mahon, head of the street car
mems union in this country, who i'm
mediately sent the following reply:
Demand the protection of the U. S..
Consul at Hamilton, and stay where
you are" Mahon said last night that
efforts would be made today to have
the matter taken up at Washington,
and an International question made
of the situation, which is without par
allel so far as known.

BAND OF REBELS OVER
HAULED IN CUBA.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Secretary
Taft received the following dispatch
today from Governor Magoon at Ha-
vana, under yesterdays date: Band
of Cienfuegos overhauled by a detac'
ment of rural guards under Charles
Landau. Taken in custody and dis
armed with difficulty, and are now
being brought to Cienfuegos. The
band was composed of eight men,
Havana, Nov. 26.-With the cap
ture yesterday of the Cienfuegos band
of eight men who took to the woods
under ex-Cnief of Police Ruiz, the
last vestige of disorder in Cuba has
disappeared. Ruiz was at first report
ed to have a large following, but the
capture of the men referred to goes
to prove this untrue. Reports receiv-
ed by Governor Magoon from all
parts of the island show that perfect
tranquility prevails, not the faintest
rumor of trouble anywhere.

Personally I am opposed to hold

my reasons for opposing 1t are
that 1 do not think that to hold con-

will assist us in getting statehood.
Should any bill be passed during the
next congress for single statehood
it will likely provide for the paying

DESCRIBES AUTO
TRIP THROUGH BLIZZARD.

w. w. Scott, Detter KNOWN as
"Scotty," and Charley Sharp were
the chauffeurs who brought in the
first automobile from Torrance Sat
urday afternoon. They came in at
4:3O with eighteen pouches of mail.
almost entirely letter mail, and re
port that they left sixty sacks of pa
ly as possible. Of the three cars tnat
left Roswell the first of last week.
this was the only one bEought thro'
on the return trip. 1t happened to be
a Buick. Another car was sent out
Sunday and the auto service between
Roswell and Torrance is expected to
run without further interruption.
Scotty describes the first trip to
Torrance as being little short of ter
rible. He and Sharp, with w. M.
as assistants, left Roswell at ten
a. M, Tuesday. They made 35 miles
the first day, but at that distance out
lost the road on account of the wind
and drifting snow, which they found
four and five feet deep in many
places. They camped all night on the
plain with only a few mesquite roots
for fuel. They were saved from the
cold by carriage warmers, which they
had thougntfully brought along. Their
food consisted of raw salt pork and
bread. They had expected to make
l,a
least, the first day and were not bet
ter supplied with food.
After a night on the plains, they
went in search of shelter the next
morning and found the Farnsworth
ranch, five miles from where they
had spent the night. They were so
exhausted from their work of digging
paths through the drifts that they
spent Wednesday all day and night
at the ranch resting. The next morn
ing they returned to the cars and
found that one of them had lost it's
water, and they had to leave it stand
ing In the other they went to Need
more, and Sharp and Scotty< went on
to Torrance Friday. These two driv-
ers left Torrance at two o'clock Sat
urday morning and reached Roswell
at 4:30 that afternoon.
Sharp and Scott are the two oldest
and most hardened drivers in the
employ of the company, but they
were completely worn out by the ex-
perience. The worst part of the trip
was between Roswell and Needmore.
The blowing snow and freezing mist
and rain filled their eyes at every
few rods, and they would have to
stop the car while they removed the
snow and ice. 1t was dangerous to
proceed without this caution. Their
clothes were stiff with frozen water.
and their limbs ached from the work.
Between Needmore and Torrance the
cars ran at full speed. THE MAST
lest PART OF THE TRIP IS ON
MAIN STREET, ROSWELL.
