wouId-be Assassins Arrested.

New York, Jan. A scecial cable
to the World from st. Petersburg says
that an anarchistic plot to assassinate
the Gar at Tsarskoe-Selo has been dis
covered. Several artillery officers, men
who have been most trusted and upon
whom the Gar relies for his personal
safety, are implicated. The chief con-
spiratOrs are astudent named Wasdilieti,
son of professor in st. Petersburg Uni
versity, and student named Altonowski,
son Of high judge in the Russian capt.
tai. The students and officers have
been arrested. The plot was discovered
only in time to prevent its being carried
into effect. One of the officers lost a
carefully drawn and very accurate plan
of the palace at Tsarskoe- Selo, where the
Car and his family live. The ownership
of the plan was traced to the officer, and
confession vas extorted from him
which led to the other arrests.

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. 4, 1906.

THE FIGHT in the Senate against the
hill embodying the administrations
views on the regulation of railroad rates
will, it is reported, be the most vigorous
known in the body since the famous
struggle of the democrats against the
force bill in the fifty-frst congress.
This at least is the inference drawn from
the talk among Senators wh) are Op-
posing rate legislation, of whom Senator
Foraker, is the leader. The Senators
have prepared themselves to discuss the
railroad rate bill at great length. Every
phase of the question will be gone over
in the minutest detail. The immense
mass of testimony taken by the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Commerce
last spring and summer will be lib
orally quoted from and carefully ana
lized. The records and decisions of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the decisions of the courts bearing on
the former will be subjected to the same
treatment by Senator Foraker and those
who stand with him in opposition
10 further legislation for the control OF
railroads. Senator Foraker is said to
have prepared himself TO talk indefinite
ly on the questions involved. Mr.. For
aker and his supporters Of course dis
claim any intention Of attempting to fill
buster against allowing the rate bill to
come 10 vote. But some of those who
favor the enactment of legislation along
the line of the Presidents recOmmen-
dations assert that it is their belief fill
buster is really intended by the oppo'
nents of a rate bill. They also assert if
tactics of this kind are resOrted to by
the opposition, equally radical tactics
will be adopted by the supporters of the
bill. 1t will be fight 10 finish and
If necessary to bring the bill to vote, it
is limited move will be made to adopt
cloture as last resort. Such move
would almost certainly fail if made as
it should, as it is extremely unlikely the
democrats would depart from their ira
ditional position of hostility to limiting
debate in the Senate. But no attempt
of this kind will be necessary it is said if
a majority OF the Senate is sincerely anx-
ious for the passage of rate regulation
bill.

Preparing for Eventualities.

A dispatch from Berlin says that the
railway administration placed orders
last week for 20, freight cars, at a
cost of $50, 900, 900, with manufacturers
of FIVE countries. STIMULATING delivery by
the middle of February, besides utiliz-
ing the car works of Germany. The con.
tracts were distributed among makers in
Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and
Italy, which would not have been done
unless some reasons for haste existed.
Inquiries made regarding the reasons
for urgency resulted in obtaining the
statement that the ordering Of the cars
was a precautionary measure, the gen.
ersl staff desiring to be ready TO move
troops il necessary by the first of March.
This is only proper measure Of pru-
dence, it was affirmed, in view Of the
extensive military arrangements going
on in France, which among other dis
positions include the movement toward
the German frontier of six regiments OF
artillery, or 100 guns.
The ordering of these feight cars, each
of which would accommodate forty
soldiers or would enable the authorities
to transport material, is only in conse-
quence of the French preparations, it is
asserted, and must not be taken to indi-
cate any hostile design on the part OF
Germany, whose peaceful Intentions re-
main unchanged.

Senator Depew.

NJ. Depew says that the statement in the
morning papers relative to his retire
ment on his seventy. second birthday

saws that the statement Omits to men,

his position with the Vanderbilt lines

and which will not prevent him devot-
ing full attention to his duties in the
United States Senate. Senator Depew
did not go to Washington today. His
niece, Miss Paulding, said it was not

the Senator is still i'll, was attested by

He was tried by court martial last week

which is signed by Brig. Gen. Grant,
'that the sentence of the court will
leave NJ doubt in the mind of any one
that the uniform of soldier is mark
OF honor which must he respected in the
United States" It also stated that a
sentence more severe than the one given
is warranted. The theatre incident
took place last October. Sergeant Pat
rick F. Butler, of TaylOr's company,
was seated in trent Of his superior officer
at a performance at New London, Conn.
Lieutenant Taylor was not in uniform.
Near by were party of friends whom
he knew. To make vacancy for one
of them he told the sergeant TO move.
His words to the under officer accord
ing to the printed verdict of the court
martial. were: Sergeant, you had
better get your ticket changed and get
your sect somewhere in the rear, or
words to that effect. Taylor pleaded
that in asking the sergeant to move he
did not intend to convey the idea that
he was ordering Butler to vacate his
seat, but a wink is as good as nod to a
blind horse. Indeed, there is growing
disposition in this country by both army
aud navy officers to ride over both SOL
diers and civilians, which should be
nipped in the bud.

Escorted to the bar of the Senate by Mr..
SpoOner, the man to whom he had not
spoken for years, Robert M. La Toilette,
Ex-Governor of Wisconsin, took The
oath of Office as a Senator today. The
leader of the so-caled "half breeds" and
the leader of the "stalwart' faction OF
the Badger State walked down the main
aisle of the Chamber, with arms linked
and smiles up n their lips. One not
understanding the bitter feud that has
existed between the two men would have
imagined them the hes; of friends.
As the chaplain entered Mr.. SpOoner
invited his colleague to seat adjoining
his Immediately after the opening the
taking of the oath followed. As the
two men walked down the aisle the
silence was such that the laughter of
some of Mr.. SpOoner's most intimate
colleagues could be heard throughout the
chamber.
The galleries were crowded in honor
of the event In the reserved galleries
Mrs. La Toilette aud members of her
family end a score OF Wisconsin admirers
of her husband occupied prominent seats.
The intention of the minority mem.
bers Of the Senate to force a discussion
of the SantO Domingo question outside
of closed doors of an executive session
was disclosed today by the presentation
in open session by Mr.. TillmaD, of South
Carolina, of the following resolution
"ResoIved, That the President be re-
quested to inform the Senate if not in
compatible with the public welfare, as to
the existing status in Santo Domingo;
whether or not President Morales car
ried his government with him when he
disappeared from the capitol, or whether
he left it behind, AMI whether the Amer
can officers who have been in charge of
the custom house are still performing
that work, and if so, under what au-
thority"
Senator Spooner objected to immedi-

TIE present educational systems were
attacked by Rev. f. A. Paddock, presi-
dent of the Idaho Industrial Institute, in
an address delivered before the co-Opera-
tive class in the First Congregational
church OF Evanston, Chicago, last Sun
day. The speaker declared the average
college graduate is a complete failure
when called upon to make his living by
manual labor, and that the whole edu-
cational system tends TO create feeling
of caste. He urged as remedy that
students be required to devote at least
halt of the day learning a trade. II be-
lieve the social disorders which are preya-
lent in this country today arise from
the fact that your system of education is
all wrong" he said. There is much
truth in Mr.. Paddock's remarks that
should be given grave consideration by
educators generally.

court martial at the Naval Academy to-
day began the third of the series OF
cases of midshipmen, first class, charged
with the haziDg of under-clsss nen.
The case nov nnder trial is that of Mid
shipman Foster, of Indiana, for the al
legged haziDg of Midshipmsn Roberts, OF
Illinois, member of the fourth class.
Previous TO the opening OF this case,
the court followed the usual formality OF
approving the record OF the previous
days session in the Decatur trial.

the record in the case ofTrenmor Coffin,
jr., Of Nevada, third class. who was tried
for hazing Midshipman Kimbrough, OF

ing the record 10 the presence of Coffin,

conducted the defense in the previous
cases, is also counsel for Foster.
There are four specifications in the
charge against Foster. Mr.. Thesll
moved to strike out the first, second and
fourth specifications, the objection being
raised because of the nature in which
they were prepared; that is, not stipulat-
ing certain time and place as to where
the ofenses we're committed. Foster is
charged first, with having compelled
Roberts to suspend himself from locker
second, to stand on his head about fifty
times; third, to get beneath mess table

cations Foster pleaded not guilty.

identified Foster. Ha was asked to state
any circumstances of having been hazed
by Foster and replied that he could MOI
state definitely. Roberts appeared Il
be rather nervous and was cautious il
