REPLY IS ADOPTED
REJOINDER TO THRONE ADDRESS
 uNANINfOUsLYP PASSED.
Two Interpe1Iatfons Protesting Against Action of Police In ArralgninK Glasses Against One Another
 Will Be Taken Up.

St. Petersburg. May 1s.--s:15 A. M.-- Before the lower house took a recess President Mouromtsen read from the chair two interpellations addressed to the minister of the interior and signed by the requisite thirty deputies which probably will form the first order or business today. s.. .eys
 The first interpellation refers to par ticipation by the police in the work of melting one portion of. the popuia- ton against the other and to the dis covery that infiammatory proclama- tions had been printed in the printing once of the ministery of the interior and asks what steps have been taken for, the punishment of the guilty par ties. The second Is, as follows:
 Does the minister of the interiox know that the prisons are still full of political offenders whose treatment V such as to force them to hunger strikes for relief?" The address of the lower house in reply to the speech from the throne was adopted and the house adjourned sub ject, to the, call of the president. |.
 After the reading of the final draft, M Petrajitsky appealed for an unani- nous. vote. Count. Hayden stated that he and his friends. though approving of the address in general. were unable to vote for certain details and would withdraw in order that mo opposing voice might he heard. He left the hall, followed by five members and the address was unanimously adopted. President Mouromtseff was instructed to request an Immediate audience of the Emperor today if possible.

WORKMEN HAD FEUD
ITALIAN GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR
 AN INVESTIGATION.
Rocks Drilled By Hibernian Laborers Have Habit Of Falling On south-. srn Europeans In Grand Gen.
 tral Excavation.

New York. May 17.-According to the coroner Peter Acritelli. lawlessness has reigned for months in the ,excava- tion which the O'Rourke Construction Company is making for the new grand central station and the Italian govern ment has demanded an investigation.
 The coroner yesterday caused the ar- rest of John Eldridge, general superin- tendent of the O'Rourke Company and held in $1.000 bail on charge of homi- eide, following the death of Angelo Bemesi, an Italian workmen. He is- sued subpoenaes for the president of the corporation and all it's general foreman.
 There has been an average of two deaths a day among the employees ever since took office," said Coroner Acri- telli last night. For two weeks I have been Investigating the request of the Italian Government, made through Consul General Masoiglia.
 T have pretty good evidence in my possession that there has been a fued between the Irish and Italian laborers. It seems that an Italian did not know how to handle dynamite. It went off and killed an Irishman. Ever since then lodges of rock have had way of falling upon Italians. Most of the drillers are IrishmenS and the Italians do the laborers work.

POINTS TO THE PRESS.
Rishop Fnllows Says the Preachers
 should Catch Its Style.


 Phfladelphia May 17.-Mnisters were exhorted to take a lesson from the mod ern newspaper by Bishop Fallows In a sermon delivered at the evening ses- sion of the General Council of the Re formed Episcopal Church. The Bishop said that the press in some respects had superseded the pulpit and now exercises many of the latter's functions. lie said:
 The preacher of today can learn many valuable lessons from the mod ern newspaper. He should emulate 1t and catch it's style. The ideal news paper articles are sharp, short, pun gent and to the point. The sermon should have all these characteristics.
 The bishop said the press has been the faithful ally of the pulpit in break ing down crime. in favoring humanita- rian reforms and in advocating the rights of all.
 When the prayer book was first complied" he said, journalism had scarcely begun it's existence. Hence, no, mention is made of editors in he enumerated list of persons needing the prayers of the church. No revision ought to be deemed complete which does not include them, for no class re- quires more intercession by the saints.
 During the morning and afternoon Sessios' Poite oA OinSeis Wei iee'u and several propositions to revise or amend the Book of Prayer were de- feated. A motion to change the form of the marriage ceremony was also lost.
 The striking from the list of dele gates amending the meeting of the names of three women who were not present led to a report that the coun- cf had decided not to admit women delegates, but the question of admit ting women did not come ID.
