night and a part of the jury secured,
those passed for cause being put in

five jurors have been accepted. They
are A. R. Hoover, Mr.. Connor A. S.

The defendant at last begins to

arising as early as two and three

that the jury will be completed be-

The court has been exceptionally
fair with the defense thus far, and
has sustained their resistance to all
challenges for cause, thus compelling
the prosecution to rely upon their
peremptory challenges. large num-

and excused for cause, and the pros
ecution has exhausted two perempto-

MANY ARE ARRESTED
Meeting Held to Show Sympathy for
Western Miners, Ends in a Free
Fight Anarchistic Banners and
Notices Displayed.

San Francisco, Cal, Apr. 9.-The
messed in a generation was the sequel
last evening to the meeting of Social
lists held at Woodward's Pavilion as
an expression of sympathy for Presi-
dent Meyer and Secretary Haywood,
of the Western Federation of Min
ers. At the meeting some typically
Socialist speeches were made, in
which it was declared that Meyer
and Haywood were innocent, and that
if convicted they would not be hang
ed unless the entire United States
army was brought to assist in the
execution. At the conclusion of the
speech-making. a procession was or
ganized and marched down town. At
the corner of Kearney and Market
streets, the busiest corner in the ci-
ty, one of the paraders hung red
banner to Lottas fountain bearing
the inscriptions: "THE CONSTITU-
TION BE DAMNED. so SAY THE
CORPORATIONS"
George S. Holmes, metal worker
tried to address the throng which
blocked the street, when Policemen
Stelzner and Cavanaugh and Detec-
tive Thomas Ryan made their way
through the crowd. Ryan tore down
the flag and ordered Holmes to de-
sist from speaking. When the latter
refused the detective pulled him
down. In a moment a riot was pre-
cipitated The officers used their
clubs and managed to get their pris-
oner on a car, which succeeded in
slowly making its way through the
crowd. Almost instantly a shower of
bricks and scrap iron from a new
building were hurled at the car and
number of passengers were struck
In the meantime alarms had been
sent to the police station, and when
the officers arrived they had to use
their clubs freely to subdue the
crowd Several policemen were in
jured, and seventeen of the rioters
were arrested. 1t was fully an hour
before quiet was restored.

Russian Elections Show People Were
Not Afraid to Vote.
st. Petersburg, Apr. 9.-Belated re-
turns today increase the magnitude
of the opposition victory. Tula is the
only province except Moscow which
elected majority of Conservatives.
Rech, the organ of the Constitutional
Democrats, says: "If Count Witte
last November had been able
to feel the beating of the heart of
Russia and had listened to the words
of M. Peterunkevitch, the world need
not have witnessed the horrors of
the present revolution. The voice of
the people becomes clearer and loud
er daily. If the government does not
listen to it the country is destined
to pass through a cataclysm a hun
dred fold worse than anything that
has transpired." The Twentieth Cen
tury, formerly called Russ, declares
that the result of the election proves
the strength of the opposition to the
government from Finland to the
Caucasus, saying: when we recall
the police preparations at the first
stage of the elections, how many of
the original electors ornament pris-
ons, and the fact that the elections
were virtually under martial law, the
result is still more remarkable
