Our prospectus accompanies under separ-
ate cover Yours very truly,

\ DISPATCH from St. Petersburg an
nounces that Emperor Nicholas has won
an unqualified victory in the first openly
threatened clash with the DOuma. The
Deputies today, in The face of the direct
refusa. of the Czsr to receive a deputa-
ton from the Douma to present the an-
swer to the address from the throne, was
characterized as a direct challenge to the
new assembly. In view of the fact that
extended caucuses were held Yesterday
by the constitutional democrats to decide
upon what course should be taken by
the Douma, the action today is signifi-
cant. ! ne surrender of the DOuma on
this important point, namely the right
of the representatives of the people to
address The Gar directly, has aroused
the greatest discussion and brought great
criticism upon the Deputies. 1t WAS ex-
pected that general cutlery against the
Gar would be raised when the Douma
met today. Instead Of the expected out
break, however, the deputies by an al
most unanimous vote passed a resolution
to proceed with the "Order of the day"
thus ignoring the slight of tie Emperor
There vera fevv 6arV sDeachfs from,
radical deputies, but they availed little
and had no effect upon the members in
voting upon the resolution to ignore the
subject Attention has for some time
been centred upon the Donna, snd it
was supposed in many quarters that that
body would not submit to the action of
the Gar, but the cloud which had been
ominous seems to have suddenly passed
away.

American Vice Consul Assassinated


American Vice Consul Assassinafed
Bstoum, Russia, May 21.-Wm. II.
Stuart, the American vice consul here,
was assassinated at IL O'Clock last night.
Batoum, Russia, May 81 The muir
der occurred at Mr.. SluarPs country
residence, a quiet place about six miles
from the city. 1t is believed that he
was killed by dissatisfied wOrkmen.
Washington, ID. c., May 2l-Wm.
II. Stuart, vice consul for the United
States at Batoum, Russia, who was as
sassinated last night, was an Eoglishman.
He was appointed to his official position
May 4, 1904. The post is / minor one
in the American consular service, to
which there is no salary attached, the
incumbent being paid in fees. Last
year these amounted to a little over
$500. Mr.. Stuart was engaged in BUSH
ness at the time OF his appointment aud
was permitted TO continue it along with
his consular duties. Stuart was 40
years of age. He was managing partner
of Famaticorch and Company, oil mer-
chsnts at Batoum. Although holding
only the tank of vice consul, he was the
head of the American consulate there.
Under the new consular bill, passed this
year, regular consul will be appointed.
The State Department at 10 o'clock this
morOing received dispatch from Am
bassador Won Meyer, at ST. Petersburg,
stating that he has been informed by the
British consul at Batoum that vice con
sui Stuart had been murdered. No
details were given, however The State
Department will not, for the present,
send any message of inquiry, believing
that Ambassador Won Meyer will send
the details as soon as they are procur-
able. Should it develop that the Russian
government was in any way responsible
for the crime, by failing to provide
proper protection for vice consul Stuart,
due representations will be made by tle
State Department through Ambassador
Won Meyer, to the Russian foreign Office.
The State Department will take no ac-
ton in the case OF Mr.. Stuart pending a
further investigation of the matter by
U $. Ambassador Meyer, who is ex-
pected to send full report as soon as
be has completed his investigation.
Only brief dispatch was received by
the Stale Department this morning from
Ambassador Meyer in which he stated
that the British Consul at Batoum had
reported TO him the assassination of Mr.
Stuart 1t is said 1T the State Depart
ment that the case of Mr. Stuart may
become somewhat complicated from an
international point of view because Of
the fact that Stuart, although employed
by the United States, is citizen OF
Great Britain, and was never naluralized
by the United States, retaining his Brit
ish citizenship to the time Of his unIime-
ly end.
