CAR issues UKASE
RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT DISSOLVED
By EMPEROR NICHOLAS.
Ministers Report Public Safety in CITY
and Province Of ST. Petersburg as In
sa,ure-Russia Is Now Back Where
She Was Two Years Ago, in Hands
OF Autoeracy-Uprislng Looked For.

Russia's first experience in parma
mentary government came TO an lgho-
minious end Sunday night, e II
imperial ukase for dissolying parma
ment and providing for the convoca
tion of its successor on March D, l5V"
more than six months hence, was pun
usbed. There is also a measure OF
safety to provide for the ~utbursl
which undoubtedly will folio" Ihe
news of the dissolution Of parliament.
The text of the latter follows:
"In consideration Of a report Of the
council Of ministers, presented TO US
regarding the necessity IN the luIuIS
for The preservation of order and pub
lie safety in the city and province OF
St. Petersburg, We consider it neces-
sary TO declare in the above city II

there. a state Of extraordinary secu-
rity. The project Of the city and the
governor Of the province are intrusleu

and irresponsible government, wiping

structure of parliament erected at
much cost.
There is little doubt that the order
for the new convocation of the new
assembly will still further postpone
the time unless the new parliament
promises to be more amenable h a
the present.
The delay in fixing the time for the
new elections seems to indicate a de
cision to change the present basis o.
suffrage to perhaps a basis Of univer

of the emperor hope to swamp the ed

Rotten Roadbed Cause of Wreck


81 do not think that there is the
slightest doubt that the Great North.
ern's deadly wreck at Camden was due
entirely TO the rotten state Of the road.

the district that it was absolutely rot
ten, " said G. l.. Maynard, a merchant
of Camden, Wash.
Even to the lay eye the state of the
track speaks for itself. Not one spike
in a hundred touches the rall it is sun
posed to hold in place, and almost at
any point one can stoop down and pick
these spikes from the ties. Fully 90
per cent of the ties are so rotten that
they can be picked to pieces witt the
fingers, aud in hundreds of places be-
tween the scene of the accident and
the station at Camden there are spaces
of from four to six feet where the track
is absolutely unsupported by the ties.
This is due to the fact that MANY of
the ties have been burnt away by the
fire from the engines until there is a
clear space Of two inches or so be-
tween the top of the tie and foot of the

nassing trains, and thus the rail is All.
solutely unsupported for a considerable
space.
81 am aware that often a tie appears
rotten when in reality it has a solid
core and all due allowance has been
made for that. A number of ties are
rotten only on the surface, but even
then the wood that his rotted away has
loosened the creepers and allowed a
considerable amount of looseness and
play on the part of the creepers used to
keep the rails from sliding. This is SO
bad that in dozens of places the rails
have slid for spaces of from six inches
TO two or three feet. In sliding thus
the spikes are naturally dragged out of
Mace, and no attempt seems to have
been made to have them put right. In
many plcaes the rails have slid TO such
an extent that the heads of the ties
have come together so al to form an
angle.
1.-THE braces are all twisted and ont
of place. Dozens of them can be picked
ND from the track by the fingers and
quite a few are lying clear of the rails
altogether. There is not one of them
in 80 that is doing the work for which
it was placed there.
"The creepers are all broken almost
without exception and can be picked
from under the rails by the hundreds.

gether out of the perpendicular, and if
a line were dropped from the outside
edge of the rail to the ties on which lit
is placed it would be found ont of the
= perpendicular by quite an inch. Just
: a little more than this would mean a
, serious accident, for this occurs in
places quite as dangerous as that in
which the accident took place.
"In many places the rails have been
3 worn to such an extent that the part
on which the fange of the wheels
touches has been worn flush with the
e fish plates at the points of the rails,
and in many places there are marks on
e the fish plate showing where the wheels
: of a passing train have struck it. II
n these rails become much more worn
nothing is more certain than that soon.
: er or later q contact with the fish plate
e will throw a train off the track.
e Sin my own mind 1 am absolutely
convinced that the accident was caused
purely and simply by a spreading rail
z There are many other possible explain
ations, but a cursory examination o.
the roadbed will show that this is thu
most probable"
At the actual scene of the accident
the ties appear to be thoroughly rotten

MINlNn NOTES.

A crowd of Butte mill and smelter-
men recently forced a body of rope
men from their work at the mines and
under threats Of running them out OF
town marched them to the hall of the
smelteTmcn's union, where they were
compelled to join the smeltermen's
union. Ropemen came to the rescue,
lists few right and left, and but for the
quick action of the police a riot would
have occurred.
The mill and smeltermen's union de-
clared the ropemen should be affiliated
with them in accordance with the dec
laration of the Western Federation OF
Miners at Denver recently, when the
subject was brought up. The ropemen
declare they propose to go it alone, as
their union has nothing in common
with the smeltermen.

MATHEWSON Is
STILL AN IDOL
The Kids Look Upon Him
As One OF Their
Set

There is base ball sentiment and base
ball pride in every city. burg and town
in the United States. For example,
two-thirds of New York believes that
Mathewson belongs to it, part and par
eel, for Mathewson's career is identi-
cal with base bail history in that city.
He made his splendid start in New
York and has worked with wonderful
brilliancy ever since. The small boys
venerate him, just as much as they
did i'm the sc IONS of 1903. 1904 and
1905, and will sng around longer to
get one look at their idol than they
will for any other man on the team.
This is largely due to the fact that
Mathewson has always been referred
to as boy, and looks the part so much,
even now, that the youngsters sort of
Nonsider him as one of them.
Next to Mathewson come MeGraw
and McGinnity both of whom are al
ways kind to the urchins, never turn
ling them away with a gruff air OF
answer, and as willing to give advice
when some tad" asks for it as they
are to win a game on the field. The
small boy is an appreclative cuss and
when you treat him right you have
made a friend for life.

Sam Bereer'S Bout With Jack
O'Br.en FOFeShadOWS An

1t looks very much now as If California
were about to hand the profession Of
pugilism another heavyweight champion.
If half what the wise ones say of the
O'Brien- Berger contest, which took place
in Philadelphia, Monday night, be true
there is indeed a strong probability that
Sam Berger, the youthful scrapper from
tho Golden West who until that night
was only an amateur in the ranks of
pugilism. win before many moons estab-
lish his claim as the rightful successor
to the great Jim Jenries.
