ceremony at the Winter palace wien
Emperor Nicholas opened the douna
surrounded by courtiers and all the
pomp and panoply of power and deliv-
cred the speech from the throne to the
members of the two houses was per-
feet. Such spectacle perhaps never
before has been witnessed on the
earths stage.
Ambassador Meyer was accorded q
rousing reception from the crowd as
he arrived in front of the Tauride gar
den as the house assembled. When he
drove up there was tremendous cheer
ing for the representative Of free
America The people wanted to take
out the horses and draw the ambassa-
doris carriage with their hands, but
this he would not permit.
Amid scenes of extraordinary pomp
Russia has ceased to be an autecracy,
and for better or worse has taken its
place among the constitutional govern
ments Of the world. In speech three
minutes long Emperor Nicholas signaI-
lied his abdication from autocratic
power.
The actual opening of the house was
delayed by an elaborate religious serv-
ice.
Baron Fredericks, minister Of the
imperial house and aid-de-& camp Of the
emperor, made formal announces
ment to the emperor that THE council

Tomorrow Noon Fixed As The
Last Time for Contributing
to San Francisco.
MAYORS EXPRESSION.
Total Amount Contributed by This
City Will BE About $4,000 When
All the Contributions Are in--Act-
ing Mayor Pfeiffer Expresses the
Thanks of the City to Those Who
Have Contributed Time or Money.

The local relief fund for the San
Francisco sufferers will close tomor-
row at noon. 1t is expected that by
this time the necessary details will
have been attended to and the fund
can be sent away at once.
Acting Mayor Pfeiffer is high in his
praise for the liberal way in which
the citizens of this town contributed
to the fund. The residents for the
most part are hard working people
to whom a dollar means much, but
the appeal was no sooner made for
help for the sufferers in that western
city, than many came forward and
the fund has grown to about $4,000.
Up to noon today, Mr.. Conard had
received no new contributions and
those who have any money to send
in will have to do so before the clos
ing hour tomorrow.
Acting Mayor Pfeiffer wishes to
make public acknowledgment of the
liberality of the citizens and to thank
all who have given their time and
money to help increase the amount.
With the closing of the general
fund the contributions through the
NEWS will also cease. The total
sum collected to date is $2,744 10.

the company out Of the list for the

the payment of $3.50 per share for the

doubt That he company will continue

Bad ground has been retarding the
work for several days, but reports from

way is being made again. After running
out 100 feet at nearly. right angles from
the drain tunnel the drift was turned
to parallel the main aven g. Fifty feet
of progress has been made since the
turn. There is believed to be something
like sixty feet of bad ground ahead and
this once passed in safety, the task of
tapping the waters and diverting them
through this new connecting channel can
be accomplished comparatively easy.
