TAYLOR IS ELECTED
SENATOR eAHt5AcK BEATEN IN THE PRIMARY.
Ex-Governor And Lecturer Groves Stronger By 15,ooO Majority Tn Tennessee After Heated and
 Senatorial Campaign.

Nashville. Tenn. May l2.--The Nash. ville American will say in it's issue to. morrow that former Governor Robert L.. Taylor has been nominated fin the Democratic primaries for United States senator over Edward W. Carmack. pres. ent incubent. by majority of from 15.00O to 10000 votes.
 The Legislature which meets in Jan uary next will elect Taylor to the Sen ate. his term beginning the following March. Carmack retires after having served one term in the Senate, before which he was a member of the House from the tenth Tennessee district. His home is in Memphis.
 Today's balloting marked the close of long drawn out campaign. which has aroused more bitterness and gem eral interest In the State than any other political struggle since that in which Andrew Johnson was elected to the Senate shortly after the close ot the Civil war. Taylor's great personal popularity and the fact that he is perhaps better known to the voters Of Tennessee than any other man promi- nent in public life in the last quarter of century proved obstacles that carmack. despite a brilliant campaign and a splendid organization, could not overcome.
 Robert Lowe Taylor was born at Hap py Valley Carter County. Tennessee. July 3i, 1850. He finished his educa- tion at Pennington. N. J.. and was ad- mitted to the Tennessee Bar in 1878. In his native town but a short while before being elected to Congress, where he served from 1879 to 1881. In 1884 he was elector fo rthe state at large on the Cleveland ticket and made pension agent at Knoxville In 1889. He was elected governor in 1886 after picturesque campaign in which his brother. Alfred A Taylor was his opponent.
 Reelected to the GoYernorship. he served until 1891, when he took up the practicve of law at Chattanooga, re- rnaining there untA iS9G. meanwhile again serving as Presidential Elector or the Cleveland ticket In 1892. In 1897. he was once moro called to the chair retiring in 1899. since which time he has devoted h4s time principally to the lecture field and to literary work In the last two years he has made Nashville his home.

LOWER HOUSE WILD
RUSSIAN CoSGREssMfsN CHEER FOR H AsSNGsTRy.
Considerable Copfuefon Is Due to Fact TAnt Code of Rufes for PnrIfa- nsentary Proceedings Have
 Not Been Adopted.

st. Petersburg, May i2.--(3 D. m.)- The feature of the second session of the Lower House of Parliament today was a frantic demonstration in favor of amnesty. When among a mass of congratulatory messages from all parts of the empire were read. several from political prisoners in jaii or in exile in Siberia, the members, except a little group on the extreme right, rose. cheer ing in a body, the galleries joining in the applause.
 Neither Premier GoremylSin nor any other member of the cabinet was seat ed on the ministerial benches. which instead were occupied by their assist ants.
 There was considerable confusion about the procedure. emphasizing the necessary for code of parliamentary rules. which Is being drawn up.
 The balloting for vice. presidents to- day showed a total of 42s against 36l votes in the choice of the combination ticket determined upon last night, namely, Prince Peter Dolgoroukoff and Professor Grodeskul of Kharkoff.
 The drawing up of the draft of the reply of the House to the speech from the throne at the opening of parlia- ment has not yet been completed for submission to the House The con- stitutional Democrats invited two rep resentatives of the peasants. one Pole and one Jew to participate in draw ing up the draft in order to secure solidarity. The main difference of opin- ion Is in the wording of the intimation to the Emperor that the council of the empire. as constituted is an anarchro- ism. The reply will declare for a constitutional monarchy, with full par liamentary rights; a responsible min itely chosen from the majority, full amnesty for political prisoners, uni- versal suffrage, equality before the law and the abolition of the death penalty.

stern Methods Adopted By San Fran
 cisco Authorities.
 San Francisco. May 12,--A novel method of stamping out footing which has been on the Increase despite the stern measures taken by the authori- ties, has been established by Chief of Police Dinan. He has issued an order that whenever a looter Is caught he Is to be put in the squad that is compelled to labor at clearing away the debris. The taskmaster- of this gang Is given discretionary powers as to the term each of the members shall serve.
 The liquor question was again dis cussed today by the authorities. and 1t has been proposed that the charter of the city be so amended that the license which has heretofore been $100 a year shall be raised to $500. Before the fire there were 1000 saloons in the city. and it is believed that the Increased license will reduce this number to 1000, with out in any way diminishing the reve- nues of the city.
 Today the Board of Police Commits sioners issued an order that all pri- vate clubs cease dispensing liquor to members. Most of the clubs were burned out. but all have secured tenn porary quarters in the unburned sec- ton. A proclamation has been issued by Mayor Schmitz directing that all refugees be concentrated in two great camps. one to be located in the Pote- TOTO and the other at Golden Gate Park,
 At present, every square in the city and vacant lots are covered with tents of refugees. Last night and today have been the coldest since the disas- ter and some of the refugees lying in the smaller camps suffered consider ably. Retrenchment in all municipal departments is the order that will go forth and general reduction in the city's working force within the next thirty days will be the order.
