through sheer terror. Few would have
seen this terror still lurking beneath
all the pcmp 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-
tons that were taken to guard the
ruler and his aids from revolutionary
~assassins.
Cordons of soldiers with menacing
Dayonets, supplemented with Calling
guns, surrounded the building. Every
corridor and chamber of the building
swar 1ed with soldiers and secret po-
lice Every member of the douma.
even, was under the w%atchful eye of
a member of the secret service. No
one was trusted-all were watched.

thrown into Jail.

All working men were prevented from
assembling in the city. Gatherings
of people OF the streets We're promptly
dispersed and all loiterers arrested or
driven to their homes. Hundreds of
well-known revolutiouists and leaders
Of the workingmen were arrested in or
der to prevent the carrying out of any
assassination plot. Feverish energy
was displayed by both police and mil
itary authorities in this work. After
the report of a plot to kill the Emperor
in the very douma itself, their precau-
7tionary efforts were redoubled.
After an imposing religious service,
celebrated by the primate of the Rus
ssian church, Antonius, Emperor Mich
'olas delivered the address from the
throne.

OPENS DONNA.
FIRST RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT is
CONVENED.
Nicholas, in Speech, Asks Member
to Aid Him in 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 al
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 llD-
crty for the autocracy cursed, enSlnveu
millions of Russians masses. From i
great golden throne in the magnificent
winter palace. the Car, clad in COR
sgeouS robes OF state and surrounded by
his relatives, his ministers, counseIlors
and navy in glittering uniforms, nd
dressed the members of the douma as
sembled before him.
The tone of the speech from the
throne was conciliatOry. 1t expressed
the Elnperor's wish that relief be given
to the peasants in their present unfor-
tunate conditions and called on the
members of Parliament to pat their
hearts into their work and to cooper
ate with him in solving the present
problems of Russia and in handling
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 a great political
reform wrung from hat same mon
arch-"autocrat of all the Russias"-
and from his naughty, arrogant MOBILES,

over whom he triumphs and every one else. A man
cannot honestly get to and keep Mt the top of a great bust
ness without Introducing into 1t economies or improved
methods which benefit his customers and the public. He
cannot honestly get to and keep at the top of his profess
statesman, without rendering services that rebound to the
advantage of the community.
The public does not think things out fast, but usually In
the end it gets around to the right conclusion. Under the
influence of the classic. English political economy, which
came near teaching that everything economic that is Is
right, there long existed a tendency to regard every man
who achieved large material success as a kind of public
bcnefactor. 1t has lately dawned on the popular con-
seriousness that a man may amass wealth and give en-
pioyinent to thousands Of people and still be only d public
robber-a human beast that preys. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that hereafter q healthier public sentiment regarding
the struggle for success will exist. There will be, as
there should be, a disposition to measure a mans genius
and claims to public respect less by the results he achieves

A syndicate of New York capitalists
has offered to furnish 500, 900, 900 to-

This was arranged through Senator New

not made public. In the meantime the
financial %stringency in the ruined city has
been temporarily relieved by the opening
of the bank vaults and the resumption of
banking on a limited scale. Pending the
decision as to money for reconstruction.
many of the business houses in the burned
district have erected temporary board

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

Chairman Shonts of the Com mission
Gives Out statement.
In the statement given out by Chair
man Shonts of the isthmian canal COM
mission. he said that during March, 24O,-
900 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 5312
cents a cubic yard. Reservoirs have been
created to give the active sections OF the
canal strip a 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
Culebra cut, Chief Engineer Stephens has
got tracks laid and ballasted on each level
and a double track line through the bot
tom.
Lindsay Denison, one of the editors of
a magazine, who was sent to the isthmus
to get at the whole truth about the canal
work, with special credentials from the
President, makes his report in the May
issue. lie find that the task is more I'M
p~ressive in it's bigness than he had mag
ined, that it has been undertaken in COM
prehensive, American fashion and that
an honest effort is being made to get a
fair return for every dollar spent. He
admits that there is some petty graft go
ing on, but says it is of no more impor-
tancc than mosquito bites on an elephant.

are not surprising.
According to the religious statistics, which are compiled
annually by the League for Social Service, the average
gain made by each of the religious associations in the
United States during 1904 was three members. With n
single exception, all the Protestant churches showed a
smaller number of accessions in 1904 than in 1894, the
corresponding year of the previous decade: s>
< More recently gathered statistics from one hundred and
churches were y ali dsi5Sinations every State except
six was represented, and forty Of The churches gave fig
ures which permit Of comparisons.
During the ten years from 1894 to 1904 the average
membership of these churches increased from one hundred
and twenty-nine to one hundred and siXty-six, an average
gain of forty-seyen members; and during last year there
was an average gain of ten members. These figures
show most hopeful conditions. The cause of the
gain Of the country churches must in some degree be at
tributed to the rural ministers, especially to the younger
ones. The level Of ability and cultivation has risen pro
portionally more among the country clergy than among
their city brethren; and where diversions are less en-
ticing, intellectual ability is a magnet which attracts even
those who are Indifferent in religious mattcrs.-Youth's

.Jordnn's Theory of Earthquake.
n--- 1au1,, e C+,rc.,i ,.,,,.

President Jordan of Stanford univer-
w:ty, which was so terribly shaken up by
&he recent earthquake, ascribes the dis
surkance to a slipping of the Sierra Mo-
uena mountain chain from three to six
feet along the line of a geologic fault.
This chain forms the backbone of the pc
nirsula of San Francisco, and along its
base for forty miles is a narrow valley.
Jordan says that on April IS the old fault
%feopened and cracked the surface of the
earth the entire length of the valley, caus-
ans the mountain to slip toward the north.

UPS AND DOWNS or STEEL.

Gross Sales in Five Years Have
to $4,000, 900.
The steel corporation, since its for
nation five years ago, has paid out
more than 100000 900 in bond interest
and stock dividends, and more than
$3.50, 100000 to It's workmen, out OF
gross sales OF more than $2,OOO,OOO.
says Success,
The effect OF declining prices and
consumption OF the profits OF steel
making is to wipe them out In a short
time. II a steel company, for exam
pie, in good times makes a million
tons Of finished products at a cost OF
$50 a ton and sells its tonnage at an
average price of S6S a ton, 1t makes
SIS a ton, or S1S,O0O,0OO on It's output
II, In a reaction In the steel business,
the company's output declines to 75O.-
900 tons, while prices fall only % per
cent, with no reduction in operating
costs, the profits are cut from $1S,OOO,-
900 to S1,OO0,0O0.
In 1902 the steel corporation received
$500. 100000 for 100000 IONS Of prod
ucts, which cost to produce $4,000 0O.-
Geo. 1t had a profit, therefore. OF

its output had fallen off only II per

the average cost had risen only AZ per

poration is now producing 1O,OOO.OOO

price OF its product, II u-naccompanied
by a variation in cost, means a varia-
tfon Of s5O,ooo.O0O q year in its profits
This is enough to pay 10 per cent ON

TIE STRUGGLE FOR SUCCESS.

EW% HE world wide struggle for success has al
ways been going on, but nowhere has 1t been
so generally participated in or so hard
~ fought as it Is now III the United States. It
kELSStNS1 Is the biological struggle for existence car
kGAa@sGG ried into the highest sphere of life. The
struggle for existence among animals is car
ried on chiefly with tooth and claw. The battle for sue
cess among civilized men is carried on mainly with cum
ming, skill and genius. There have been some changes in
the conditions of the contest besides that of weapons
which are worth noting.
The struggle for existence among animals IN a state or
nature necessarily is Immediately destructive, however
much in the long run it may promote evolution. while
that among civilized men generally is and almost always
might be wholly constructive. Under natural conditions
the number Of animals that can find in n given area
enough nuts or fruit or grass to live on Is strictly limited
The success of some, therefore, means the death of others.
If the vanquished are not killed by the victors they must
starve to death. @&.
The same thing was true once among men, but science,
the arts, division of labor have made it true among them
no longer. Whether one mans success hurts other men
depends now on the way he wins and uses it. If he win
1t by treachery and robbery and use it for purposes of
extortion, like some American captains of industry" 1T
is Injurious to others. It's effects are strictly analogous
to those of the destructive victory Of the beast that preys.
On the other hand, the success Of the man who rises, and,
having risen, holds his place by sheer force Of character
and ability. is a blessing not only to himself but to those
