POLICE WITH PEOPLE
IN TROLLEY RIOTS

New York, Aug, 13.-As a result Of
the disturbances amounting in some in,
cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company yesterday, when several thous-
and persons were elected from cars
when they refused to. pay ten cent
fares. Acting Police (hrhlssioner
Waldo today revoked permits granting
the company power to employ sixty
special policemen who assisted in put
ting off passengers.
These special policemen wore uni
forms almost identical with those of
regular policemen. They were stationed
at points along the line where the sec
ond fare was collected. Those who
refused to pay and insisted upon con-
tinuing their journey were seized and
forcibly elected. ... ..As- E.. -...s
Justice Gaynor Of the supreme court
ruled Saturday that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit had no right to demand double
fare. Mr. Waldo said today that the
five cents fare ruling will be enforced
"The police department, he said
twill arrest every employee or agent
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
who assaults a citizen.

RUSSIANS CHANGE FRONT.
Democrats Are Being
Defeated in New Elections.


St. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-Constitu-
tional democratic leaders as candidates
for reelection are going down to de-
feat. NJ. Kakoshkene, next to M. Ro-
ditcheff the most brilliant constitution
al democratic orator in the outlawed
parliament, has been defeated by Count
Sheremetieff, notorious reactionary, and
yesterday two constitutional democrats
were defeated at Samara. While these
results certainly indicate reaction of
sentiment against the advance in the
program of constitutional democrats it
should also be pointed out that the
nobility and landed proprietors have
the dominant influence in zemstvo elec.
tions, and the defeat of the constitu.
tional democrats probably represents
more their hostility to the principle OF
the forced appropriation of land, tt
which the constitutional democrats arc
committed, than enmity toward the
Nevertheless, the important landed
interests, reactionary or liberal, are
uniting and lining up in favor Of the
government s, as against the parlia-
ment radical agrarian program.
There are strong reasons to believe
that it is the intention Of the Stolypin
ministry, if things move normally, to
support the candidates Of the regenera.
tionists, who are expected to anal,
gamate, with the Octoberists, whether
the cooperation of the right wing Of
the constitutional democrats is secured
or not.
A significant symptom of the radical
change in the situation produced by the
11niseragle failure of the general strike
is the fact that the majority of the
social democratic leaders who, a fort
night ago, were it's most active pro,
moters, are now in favor Of turning
their attention to the coming elections
and have already begun to conyass the
situation for their; candidates. ~

record of accomplishment is strong
argument for promoting him to the office

passing highway commission law, and
framed measure which united all inter

thorlzing the creation of commission
was adopted by popular vote in 1898,
but succeeding legislatures persistently
refused to give it the force of law. The

Tariff Revision in Congress.

In view of the repeated declarations
Of Mr. McCleary that there is no revis-
ion sentiment in the fifty ninth congress
the following letter written by a very
prominent member of congress from Mas
sachusetts will be interesting.
Mr.. Mccall has served in the house as
long as McCleary and is recognized as
man of strong convictions. Last March
he wrote this letter to Chairman Payne
of the ways and means committee of the
house:
"My Dear Mr.. Payne: Referring to
our conversations concerning a revision
of the tariff, 1 desire to bring to your at
tention, for the purpose of making clear
the attitude of the republican members
of the Massachusetts, delegation, the dec
laration of the platform of the Massa-
chusetts republicans adopted by their
state convention on October 6 last.
''After announcing adherence to the
policy of protection and opposition to
tariff changes tending to depress or de-
stroy any of our industries or to lower
the wages of American labor the plat
form urges the senators and represen-
tatives from Massachusetts to continue
to press upon their party associates in
congress from other states the wisdom
of consideration of the tariff for the
purpose of revision and readjustment.'
sistent with the last national republi-'
can platform, which, referring to the tar
if, declared that rates of duty should
be readjusted only when conditions have
so changed that the public interest de-
mands their alteration! and that "to
a republican congress and republican
president this great question can safely
be intrusted."
"The country voted to intrust the
question to republican president and a
congress strongly republican in both
houses. If revision is not to be consider
ed at the present session it is extreme
ly unlikely that it will be secured during
the life of the present congress, for the
next session will be so short as to suffice
for little more than the passage of the
appropriation bills. On behalf, therefore,
of the republican members from DIassa-
chusetts who believe that during the nine
years since the enactment of the exist
ing duties conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands their
alteration and who at meeting delegat-
ed me to make the request, 1 ask con-
sideration of the tariff by the committee
on ways and means with view to it's
revision and readjustment.
In his reply Chairman Payne admitted
that there was considerable revision sem
timent but that it would not be expedi-
ent to enter upon revision at that ime.
And Payne is sandpatter.

WANTC DATE CHANGED.
RinglIne Bros. Meeting With Obstac-

From Thursdays Daily.
Because the Ringing circus has chang
ed it's date from September 5 to Labor
day on which it expects to visit Dubu-
que, the Trades and Labor council of
that city is wrathy. The officers of the
labor council have already progressed SO
far with the arrangements for a picnic
on Labor day that it will be impossible
to abandon it.
The men at the head of the arrange
ments understand that if there is cir
Gus in town, it will be pretty hard
thing to get the people to 60 to picnic.
In view of this fact, it was decided to
appoint two committees, one to wait on

cense from the show people on that date,
and another to see the board of super
visors and request them to fix matters
so that it will be practically impossible
