to Raise $4,000.

Rev. DR.. Hugh Johnston. who was pastor
OF the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist
Episcopal Church o, this city while Presi-
dent Mckinley atterde that church. occu-
pied his old pulpit yesterday morning and
was greeted by large congregation. After
delivering a sermon nthe value of educa-
ton he presented the claims of the Wom-
ans College of Baltimore, of which he IS
at present secretary of the board of trus-
tees The college was founded In 1854
through formal action of the Baltimore con-
fer nce and In its brief history has con-
tributed largely to the intensive life OK
Methodism.
The Baltimore fire greatly crippled the
college, cutting of the gifts of those who
were accustomed TO assist Ii, and the lnstl-
tuition came face to face with a crisis. The
debt of $500, 900 became great menace and
the fear arose that the money already in
vested would be lost and the entire work
come TO an end. At this juncture Mr..
Chester D. Massey, phiianthropist. "a
member of the Cleveland family, but row
resident of Toronto. Canada, offered to do
nate to the Woman's College $4,000 of ad-
ditional endowment, provided the debt OF
$500 900 be wiped out by the 9TH Of June,
1905.
The College of Bishops took the matter
up and personally gave large subscriptions
to aid In this work. The general connection
has responded and the Baltimore conference
at It's last session pledged itself to raise
SUM equal to dollar for each member
or $4,000.
OF this sum $4,000 is to be raised In the
Washington district nthis basis, and the

Work Generally Suspended in Pro-

POLICE ARMED WITH RIFLES

ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.-The work.
men of st. Petersburg today made an i'm
posing showing in their May day celebra-
'tion. Practically every factory, mill and
shop In the city was Idle, over 20QOO0 men
Joining In the demonstration.
Early reports from the Interior showed
that work generally was suspended In the
provincial cities of Russia proper. While
the leaders here professed their intention
20 avoid collisions. the radical element,
which Is boycotting parliament, determined
TO celebrate the day with manifestations,
and the men out OF work decided to parade
IN the industrial sections early In the day
with flags bearing inscriptions reading:
Liberty and work for those out Of WORK"
The gravest fears were entertained that
the day would not pass without bleedshed.
The chief of police posted notices that no
manifestations would be permitted. large
reserves of police, armed with rifles, were
massed in the industrial quarters, and de-
tachments of infantry and cavalry, though
they were kept out of sight were posted
at strategic points.
Shortly before noon came the news that
Vice Admiral Kuzmich, the commander of
the port had been assassinated at the new
adm. rally works, as result of his attempt
ing to force the employees to work all day
instead OF celebrating May day. -

Roosevelt Psychology.

From the New, York Evening Post.
Yesterdays outbreak In the Senate was
only what those in close touch with the
situation have been predicting. Too many
angry men have been going about with a
sense Of having been trlcked by the Presi-
dent in this rate-bill matter to make 1t
possible to suppress open charges of bad
faith. But senators who say these unpleaS-
ant things merely show that they are not
adopts In that fascinating study-Rooseveit
psychology. The President has simply dis
played the same qualities at Washington
that he exhibited at Albany as governor.
That Is to say, when some project of leg1s-
laton In which he is deeply interested is
pending he talks on all sides of 1t with APP
opinions of every man with whom he con-
fers and sets dozen people to work for
him In contradictory ways. Then when
he finds where the majority is going to be
he sides with 1t vehemently, and declares
that he never dreamed of doing anything
else. This Is the process which his friends
call his engaging habit Of thinking out
loud" His enemies apply harsher word,
but the result is the same. There are al
ways legislators to say that he has de-
ceived them; there Is always an astufe and
powerful leader like AIdrich to get the nee
essary votes together and then exhibit Mr.
Roosevelt as ever strong upon the strong
er side" The Rhode Island senator de-
served the congratulations which were Of
fered him yesterday. AS was Justly said,
he is the republican leader In the Senate
who knows what he wants and gets it, Just
now he has got the consent of the Presi-
Gent, who vowed that he would neer con-

sixpences on a Tombstone.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
Yesterday morning twentyone old widows
of the parish of st. Bartholomew. West
Smithfieid, attended In the churchyard at
the close of the morning service to pick UP
the sixpences which are annually deposited
on the tombstone OF parishioner who died
several centuries ago.
The origin of the custom dates back to
Saxon times. and It was revived some years
ago by Mr.. Butterwick. The little grave
YARD is raised several feet above the level
of the pathway, and to mount to this en-
inence the elderly DANES are assisted up a
step-ladder lodged against the stone coping
of the wall.
The twenty-one, having scrambled up the
step-ladder, gathered around the grave
stone, where the distribution was made.
Each of the recipients was afterward
given bun and new shilling. Up to this
year they had by the bounty of lady
received half a crown apiece In addition to
the sixpence. Their benefactor has now
passed away however, and the gift has
died with her.

Major Rrackett Misauoted.

Mai. Fred Bracket was reported to have
said In an address delivered at the meeting
OF the Treasury Branch of the Civil Service
Retirement Association held Friday even
ing last at Metzerott Hall that It would
"gfye more tone and dignity to the aims and
efforts of the association to have as presi-
dent thereof some representative business
man instead of an employee of the govern
ment.p Mr. Bracket states that he did not
make use of that expression, but did adj
vance certain reasons why he thought 1t
would be advantageous to have some one
not IN the classified civil service as presi-
dent and intermediary between the associa-
ti0n and Congress.

CRISIS FOR EMPEROR
Over the Grave Question Of

COUNT wITTE WITH LIBERALS
Advocated Pardon for Political

70 YIELD OR WAGE BATTLE
COUNT wITTE WITH LIBERALS

ST. PETERSBURG, May IA crisis
over tho question Of granting amnesty ai-
READY confronts the emperor, who will be
compelled to Yield or have to accept the
gage OF battle. Almost every family in Rus
sia contains q member or relative who has
suffered or Is now suffering for his political
opinions and their demand for the release
OF all political Offenders has fred the mag
nation OF the country. The radicals in the
lower house OF parliament insist that a de-
mand for amnesty should be presented to
the emperor AS an uitimatum. This the
moderate leaders OF the constitutional
democrats have thus far succeeded In pre-
venting. but IL the tide continues to rise
they must bow to the will of the radicals or
their leadership will be swept away
1t Is extremely significant that a strong
faction In the upper house of parliament is
advocating the necessity for meeting the
popular demands. The members yesterday
and today. in conferences under the pregi-
dency of Prince Eugene Troubetskoy, dis
cnssed this policy.
BY a large majority and against the pro-
test or the reactfordsts under Prince Kas-
salkine Rostkovski 1t was decided to also
make reply to the speech from the throne
at the opening of parliament.
Count Whites influence.
Count White Immediately aligned HIM
SELF with the liberals. In q speech which
made deep impression he advocated the
justice and necessity of amnesty for po-
htfcal prisoners. He favored, however a
compromise, declaring 1t would be folly
to open the doors Of the prisons to ali,
Amnesty should be restricted to those
who are not guilty of political murder or
robbety.
If the prisons are opened" he observed
sententiously, my advice to people with
property is to gather up what they can
and get out of the country as soon as pos
sible."
Count Whites attitude indicates that he
intends to make a bold bid for the liberal
leadership In the upper house.
M. Shipon Of Moscow, who Is the nat
ural leader Of the progressive element in
the upper house. wanted the reply to the
speech from the throne to go further and
include a demand for the revision of the
fundamental law. The majority thought
that action In this direction should be ini-
tiated by the lower house OF parliament
The utterances of Interior Minister
Stolypin and NJ. Won Scgwanebach. con-
troller of the empire. the only two minis
tiers present, were quite liberal in tone,
recognizing the necessity for the govern
ment meeting the new conditions. The
formers remarks. including the words
"the imperative necessity for the reform
of local administrations, were especially
gratifying.
