through sheer terror. Few would have
seen this terror still lurking beneath
all the pomp and flashing brilliancy in
which the Impressive scene was set.
But it was there.
Fear Turks Beneath All.
Beneath all their brave finery lurked
the ever present fear that gripped the
hearts of emperor and prince, noble
and minister, councillor and military
chief. Evidences of it were easily
found in the minute, countless precau-
tions that were taken to guard the
ruler and his aids from revolutionary
assassins.
Cordons of soldiers with menaciDg
bayonets, supplemented with Calling
guns, surrounded the building. Every
corridor and chamber of the building
swarmed with soldiers and secret po-
lice. Every member Of the douma.
Z zen, was under the watchful eye of
n member of the secret service. No
one was trusted--all were watched.
Men were arrested by hundreds all
over the city on the least suspicion and
thrown into Jail.
Troops filled all the principal streets
All working men were prevented from
assembling in the city. Gatherings
of people on the streets were promptly
dispersed and all loiterers arrested or
driven to their homes. Hundreds of
weIl-known revolutionists and leaders
of the workingmen were arrested i'm or
der to prevent the carrying out of any
assassination plot Feverish energy
was displayed by both police and mill
itary authorities in this work. After
the report Of plot to kill the Emperor
in the very douma itself, their precau-
tionary efforts were redoubled.
A<ter an imposing religious service,
celebrated by the primate of the Rus
star church, Antonius, Emperor Mich
olas delivered the address from the
thrvne.

GEAR OPENS D0UMA.
FIRyT RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT is
CONVENED.
Nicholas, in Speech, Asks Members
to Aid Him i'm Relieving Peasants
and Solving Nations Problems
Soldiers swarm About Palace.

The first session of the modern Rus
sian legislative assembly, born amid
the throes of terrorism, anarchy and
revolution, was opened Thursday az
ternoon in st. Petersburg by Emperor
Nicholas. Pomp and ceremony of the
most impressive kind marked the occa-
sion, which ushered in the dawn of lib
erty for the autocracy cursed, enslayed
millions of Russia's masses. From a
great golden throne in the magnificent
winter palace, the Car, clad in gor-
geous robes of state and surrounded by
his relatives. his ministers, councillors
and navy in glittering uniforms, adj
dressed the members of the douma as
sembled before him.
The tone of the speech from the
throne was conciliatory. 1t expressed
the Emperor's wish that relief be given
to the peasants in their present unfor-
tunate conditions and called on the
members of Parliament to put their
hearts into their work and to cooper
ate with him i'm solving the present
problems of Russia and in handing
down a united and prosperous empire
to his successor.
The superficial observer who was
present would never have imagined that
this solemn gathering listening to the
kind benevolent words of their mighty
monarch represented great political
reform wrung from that same mon
arch-"autocrat of all the Russias"-
and from his naughty, arrogant mobiles,

CHINA MAY END FOREIGN RULE.
Appointment of High Customs OFF,
Gals Stirs Other Nations.

Another important step toward the re-
alization of the policy of China for the
Chinese has been recorded in the promul-
CATION of an imperial decree at Pekin
naming Tieh-Liang as minister superin-
tendent of the customs affairs" with
Tang Shao vi as vice minister. 1t is
feared that this means the complete over
turning of the system of foreign control
OF Chinese customs collections, which has
been in the hands of Sir Robert Hart for
twenty years. In 1898 an arrangement
was made between England and China,
in consideration of which England paid
1O0,OOO,OO0 taels, providing that so long
as British trade exceeds that of other
countries, the inspector general of Chi
nese customs should always be an English
man. Under that arrangement Sir Rob-
ert Hart has administered the Chinese
customs service with satisfaction to all
foreign nations. Now these new Offices
are created and it is believed that they
will dominate, so it is expected that an
immediate inquiry will be made by the
great powers as to the extent to which
this new Chinese decree will subvert the
British agreement.

CHINESE BOYCOTT wAN1Na.
Apprehension in United States of
Growth Surprises Orient.

The statements to the effect that there
is apprehension in the United States that
the boycott of American goods is growing
have caused surprise at Pekin. All the
information obtainable shows that the
movement is waning. The Chinese Gus
toms report for 1905 just issued shows
that the American imports were 77.000,-
600 taels compared with 29,0O0,0O0 in
19O4. 1t appears that the importers made
enormous speculative purchases early in
the year, chiefly in anticipation of war
demands, and decrease in imports would
be natural under any circumstances until
these stocks are distributed. The report
says that the result of the boycott is no..
what had been expected. Much suspicion
and hostility were created, but the gen.
eral verdict is that not much injury has
been done to American manufacturers or
merchants. The final effect of the boy
colt, however, cannot be judged until
the close of another year or even later.
Only the immediate results are visible.
In consequence of climatic. war and boy
colt conditions combined there is larger
proportion of imports than usual left in
first hands. The imports of American
cotton increased from 100000 to r.
$4,000 pieces and -four about the same
in 1904, but the Australian trade is s,row-
ing. The market for oil decreased 3,419,-
600 gallons from the immense import of
1904. The failure of the Russian supply
negatived the boycott. Consul General
Lay at Canton reports that American
imports into southern China during the
last half of 1905 decreased $1,250000, oil
decreasing 90 per cent. The friction be-
tween the Standard Oil Company's agents
and the officials and merchants at sew
eral ports probably contributed to this
decrease.

WAR ON DRUG Truly.
Attorney General Moody Orders Ar
ton Begun at Indianapolis.

Attorney General Moody orders NJ
ton Begun Mt Indianapolis.
Attorney General Moody has begun a
war of determination on the so-called
drug trust, as a result of investigations
by the Department of Justice at Wash
ington extending over several months.
Acting under instructions from the At
torney General United States District At
torney Healing began in the United
States District Court at Indianapolis be-
fore Judge A. &. Anderson, an action for
an injunction against the corporations
and individuals comprising the combina-
tion which, it is alleged, is debating the
price of drugs to the American people.
The drug trade of the country, it is al
legged. is so organized that prices for all
articles are fixed by the parties to a con-
spiracy. No retail druggist can buy pro-
prietary medicines or other drugs unless
ne is a member of the National Associa-
ton of Retail Druggists. and in order TO
be member ne must bind himself to sell
at the prices fixed by the manufacturers
and wholesalers in ther several associa-
tions. The retail druggist who refuses to
be e party to the arrangement is black
listed and it becomes impossible for him
TO purchase supplies except at list prices,
which are so far above the prices made
to members as to make competition impos-
sible.
The Department of Justice announces
its determination TO prosecute the case
with vigor and to leave nothing undone to
destroy the combination and bring back
conditions of competition in the drug
trade.
Joseph f. Toms. secretary of the Ma
tional Wholesale Druggists Association,
denies the charges made by the govern
ment in calling the association an illegal
combination. Mr.. Toms said that such
charges as those filed in the federal court
have been made against the national or
ganization heretofore and always have
failed of conviction. The manufacturers
of proprietary medicines have been wont
for years to fix both the wholesale and
retail prices at which their product shall
be sold, he said. These prices, he added,
are fixed by each company, independent
of any Other organization or corporation.

Low BIDDER GETS CUSTOM.
Taft Refuses to Buy in America Un-
less Ordered to by Congress.

Secretary Taft has refused to assume
the responsibility for an order requiring
the canal commission to buy only Ameri-
can goods, and as a result of his stand
it is likely resolutions will be introduced
in Congress limiting the purchases of the
commission to American markets. Sena-
tors Dick and Ankeny and number of
other prominent Republicans in the Sem
ate have urged the commission to aban-
don the idea of buying in the open mar
ket, but Mr.. Taft and the members of
the commission suggested that Congress
should specifically limit buying to Ameri-
can goods if any such provision is desired
for the protection of the interests of
United States corporations. The pur-
chase of 10000 barrels of English cement
has been the cause of much agitation for
the protection of American manufacture
ers. The cement was purchased for 81
cents less barrel than American manu-.
faeturers offered to supply it.

CANADA AGREES TO SAVE FALLS.
Government Adopts Agreement of
International Commission.

The Dominion government has decided
to adopt in full the agreement reached by
the international waterways commission
regarding Niagara Falls and Sault Ste.
Marie power and will ask the United
pointment of permanent commission on
waterways or give the present commission
power to settle all waterways difficulties.
The Ontario government has decided to
appoint a permanent commission for Nj
agara Falls with full authority to fix
rates at which the companies are to sell
power to municipalities or private par
ties. This price will be based on the &C
tuai cost of the works, the operation and
an amount necessary to provide sinking
fund to redeem for the State the whole
power.

PROGRESS OF CANAL WORK.
Chairman Shonts of the Commission
Gives Out Statement.

Chairman ShOnts of the Commission
Gives Out Statement.
In the statement given out by Chair
man Shonts of the isthmian canal COM
mission. he said that during March, 240,-
600 cubic yards of material had been re-
moved with eleven steam shovels working
on the average. Nevertheless, the main
part of the work is still preparatory. The
actual cost of this excavation was 1914
cents a cubic yard. Reservoirs have been
created to give the active sections of the
canal strip general water supply. There
are now FROM $4,000 to $4,000 on the pay
rolls and an effective force of 1900
workers. There has been no authentic
case of yellow fever since December. Two
civil service commissioners. Cooley and
Higgins, accompanied Mr.. Shonts on his
last trip and decided TO create a local
examining board to test fitness for promo
ton of employees and to establish lists of
eligibles for the canal service. At the

study of agriculture in our public schools
would afford the best possible material
for mental discipline. Not only is the
farm life and its occupations full of mate

President Jordan of Stanford univer-

feet along the line of geologic fault.
This chain forms the backbone of the pc
ninsila of San Francisco, and along its
base for forty miles is narrow valley.

reorened and cracked the surface of the
earth the entire length of the valley, caus-
ing che mountain to slip toward the north.
