Nobody is Dissatisfied Now. Outside of the
 Minority
Sentiment of Regret Likely to be Expressed Over the Conversion of the Much Talked of Bill Into Party Measure.

Aside from this character of legis- Iation, tomorrow is to be devoted to the passage of bills under suspension of rules and Friday is to be devoted to the passage of private pension bills.
 The reading of the naval bill is ex- pected to occupy the house Tuesday, Wednesday and possibly Thursday. Should there be any unoccupied time, however, there are two special orders already on the calander, and the inn migration bill is to constitute the third if the present plan succeeds, to give it
 that status by the project of a resolu- tion today. Pure food legislation has
 the right of way after the appropria- tion bills, and next the bill creating d uniform system of naturalization. Night sessions are contemplated to get through the vOlumfnous cOdifica- ton of the criminal laws which is pending, but no special order to this end has yet been adopted
 With the naval and diplomatic bills
 out of the way, there remain but two of the annual appropriation bills to be formulated and passed. These are the sundry civil which will be out of the | committee the middle of May and the | general definciency bill, which is al- ways the last and calculated to carry | the odds and ends of the money ne l cessities of the government.

STOOD OFF MOB
 A MEMBER KILLED
Tennessee Community Sought to Rid
 Itself of Resident.

Nashville Tenn, May 6.-Marvin Winters was shot and killed and ThOm- as Stewart and his young daughter were severely wounded during an at tack by mob on Stewards home near Pleasant View, Cheatham county, last night. No reason for the attack is known.
 few days ago Stewart received a letter warning him that if he and his family did not leave the neighb0rhOod within ten days they would all be killed. About T. o'clock Saturday night a mob surrounded Stewards s house and opened fire on it, and Stew art and his daughter were wounded. Stewart returned the shots and the mob scattered. This morning the body of Marvin Winters was found about fifty yards from the Stewart home.
 The shot that killed Winters came from a gun of larger caliber than Stew arts, and today Jim Hunt, Eph Boyle and Newton Winters were arrested, charged with complicity in the murder of Winters. No light has been thrown on the manner of Winters death.

Washington, May 6--President Roosevelt today reiterated his views oa railroad rate legislation in a telegram sent to the legislative committee uf the Pennsylvania state grange
 The telegram reads: 'I am happy to tell you that not only am I standing on my original position as regards rate legislation, but it seems likely that con gress will take this position too The Hepburn bill meets my views. as I have from the beginning stated The Ali son amendment is only declaratory or what the Hepburn bill must mean sup posing it to be constitutional and no genuine friend of the bill can object Co it without stultifying himself
 "In addition. should be glad Co get certain amendments. such as those commonly known as the Long and Overman amendments. but they are not vital, and even without them the Hep burn bill. with tht Allison amendment. contains practically exactly what q have both originally and always asked for since and. if enacted into law.

SECOND GLASS MATTER
 REVISION SUGGESTED
A Recommendation to Congress by
 PoStmaster.G

Washington, May 6.-POstmaster General Cortelyou recommended to congress the appointment of a com mission to inquire into the subject of second class mail matter with a view to ascertaining what notifications of the present second class laws are nee essary. the commission to render it's report to congress not later than De cember To- 1906
 The postmaster general in his re- cent annual report, recommends to congress a thorough review of the whole subject of second class mail matter, and the enactment of statutes to take the place of those existing which would render necessary the consideration of sucn questions as those upon which second class matter now depends.
 In recommending this commission he said: "The existing statutes reg ulating the second class of mali mat ter are out of date; they do not meet modern requirements of the publishing 1 industry, and the administration oi them unnecessarily and unreasOnably hampers the publishers of bona fida newspapers and periodicals"

But the Work of Dyndmiting and Recon
 StruCting Goes On
Revision of the List of the Discovered Dead Reduces the Number Slightly-Soldiers Buried Under Wall Thrown Down by Explosion.

San Francisco, May 6.-The first dis aster in connection with dynamiting dangerous walls by the engineers of the army took place today. Smaller quan- titles of explosives than were used last week are now being fired, and this ne cessitates two or more char~es of dy- namite being exploded before the de- sired result is attained. This morning the engineers were working in the downtown district. Twice had dyna- mite been exploded under the facade of a tall ruin, and third charoe was be- ing inserted when the wall fell. Three soldiers were buried, but a mass of twisted iron partly shielded them, and only one was seriously hurt.
 This has been the first day of official rest that the city has had since the be- ginning of it's distress. All of the mu- nicipal departments were closed with the exception of the police stations and hospitals, and Franklin hall, the seat of San FranciscO's government, was deserted. The police have had little or nothing to engage their attention.

Scranton, Pa, May 6.-Notning de- veloped today to disturb the general belief that the strike of the mine workers has been averted. There seems to be every assurance that the subscale committee will go to New York early tomorrow morning for a confernece with the operators and will be assured by the latter that no dis crimination will be shown in case the men are ordered back and that the terms of an agreement to last, will be readily agreed upon.
 It is expected that the convention will ratify the report of the subscale committee and vote for a resumption of work on Monday, May II, under the old award of the anthracite strike commission.

prevent the sinking of vessels whose water-tight compartments are sup posed to but do not insure them against loss from ordinary punctures of the hull. Water-tight buIkheads only make a ship unsuitable when all the doors below the waterline are closed In most disasters at sea the doors can not be closed by hand, and there is an increasing demand for the more gen. eral adoption of power bulkhead doors. With this arrangement the doors can be closed from above decks in time of danger merely by the turn of hand wheel. Without these Hong arm" cleo trical power doors the closing of the bulkhead openings is left to the crew, whose first idea is to get on deck as soon. as possible.

THE RUSSIAN
 EXPERIMENT
The National Assembly
 COnveneS This Week
The First Important Matter Will be DeVising of an Agrarian Reform Project

St. Petersburg, May 6.-The national assembly of Russia, to which so many hopes for the future of that country are pinned, will be convened at the Tauride palace in St. Petersburg on Thursday, May 10.
 Never before in the history of Rus sia has there been an assemblage which, with the sanction and approval of the government, has represented the people It would, therefore, appear to be an experiment, upon the outcome of which will depend the future of Rus sia.
 The national assembly, or douma, was granted by the empOrr August 19, 1905, and, according to the official an nouncement, 'is established for the preliminary study and discussion of legislative propositions, which, accord ing to the Fundamental laws, go up through the council of the empire to the supreme autocratic authority" The composition of the council of the em- pire. or upper house, one-half appoint ed by the emperor and One-half elected from the nobility and clergy, would seem sufficiently pliable to block the douma, should it be in opposition to the crown.
 In the manifesto issued on March 6, 1906, was an innocent looking prOvi- sion placing beyond the Jurisdiction of parliament and cOnsigning for cOnsid- eration to commissions of the council of the empire and the representatives of the minister of finance, charges of malfeasance against officials of the government. the establishment of stock companies with special privileges and questions relating to entailed estates, titles of nobility, etc.
 The government retains the power to promulgate temporary laws during the recesses of parliament, and. as the 1 parliament is subject to dissolution by i imperial ukase the government is in a position in time of stress to rid itself 1 of any obnoxious legislation and pro- claim such laws as it deems necessary Three hundred and seventy one members have been elected to the as- ! sembly, of which the constitutional l democrats have a clear working ma 1 jority. The oath to be taken by the members is: 'We promise to perform our duties to the best of our knowI- 1 edge and ability and in all loyalty tC 1 his majesty. and mindful only of the
 welfare of Russia"
 The first and aIl-important matter
 will be the agrarian problem, and re- cent dlspaIcneS rom Sl. FeleISDuI
 seem to indicate that the government
 will work in accord with the assembly in this matter by proposing the fOrma- ton of a parliamentary commission tC
 elaborate plans for an agrarian prof ect. This will practically mean th' | acceptance of the decision of the con stitutional democrats. It was first an nounced that the douma would b, | opened by the emperor, but this plaI has since been abandoned.

 head Protection.

New York, May 6.-Four million dol lars is the estimated loss of marine underwriters for the past winter. In addition to this insured property loss, the North Atlantic alone has exacted a grim sea-toll of at least eighty-tive lives
 The past five months have been par ticuIarly disastrous for shipping. Off the New England coast and the mari time provinces of Canada fifty-fOur ships have gone down. As usual, the schooners suffered most severely. Thirty seven craft of this description. nine steamers and eight barges com prise list of disasters representing a money loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in addition to the human lives swallowed up by the waves.
 The worst disaster of the winter in our waters was the wreck of the steam ship British King, off Sable island, March II, on her way from New York to Antwerp At least twenty lives were lost. The winters list of wrecks be- gan in November with the sinking of the Norwegian steamer Turbin, in sight of Clark's Harbor, N. $. Four teen men went down with the Turbin. A fortnight later the British steamer Lunenburg sunk a few minutes after striking a rock off the Magdalen isl ands, resulting in the loss of a dozen lives and the cargo. From then until the end of March there was hardly a week without it's shipwreck.
 These and the more serious steamer wrecks in the English channel have impressed upon underwriters the ne cessity for more effective measures to

SWIFT PROSECUTION.

Washington May 6. - Secretary Hitchcock tonight received a telegram announcing the indictment of 21 well known citizens of Portland in land cases, as told in a press dispatch from that city. MT. Hitchcock stated that he was exceedingly gratified with the result of the investigation and that the governments case was considera- bly strengthened because of the heavy bond fixed by the court, $40O0 in each case.
 He said that it was the intention of the department to secure speedy trial of the cases if possible and that he expected further reports from agents in the middle western states, who are conducting an investigation along the same lines. The irregulari- tics charged are stated to be under the timber and stone act.

Washington. May 6.-Practically all the members of the United States sen ate agree in predicting that the pres ent week will see the end of the dis cussion on the railroad rate bill There is among the republican senators some disposition to antagonize the comprO- mise provision for the judicial review of the findings of the interstate com merce commission, but the fact that this provision is accepted by the con servative senatorial leaders on the one hand and by the president on. the other renders it practically certain that the amendment will in the end be accept ed as a party measure and that it will receive most, if not all, of the votes of the republican senators.
 It remains to be seen what effect the consolidation of the republican party will have upon the democratic senators. There is little doubt that they will criticize their political an- tagOnists, but it is not probable that they will carry their opposition to che extent of trying to postpone the final vote on the bill for any length of time The democrats will probably content themselves with expressing surprise that the bill should be transformed in to a party measure and then after chaffing their opponents, will let the vote be taken, each man voting ac- cording to his own personal views.
 There is no agreement among the republicans as to whether. the bill snail be otherwise amended and it is prob able that a day or two will elapse be- fore any policy on that point can be determined. The consideration of the bill will proceed in accordance with the unanimous agreement the measure being considered section by section and each section disposed of in order. The proceedings of last Friday the only day on which the session has been in session under agreement, in dicates that there is little prospect of any great general change in the meas ure
 At this time it seems probable that changes may be made. giving the com mission power to compel trunk lines to make connection with other lines and prohibiting the transportation com panies from engaging in the produc- tiOn of commodities.
 Amendments for the accomplish ment of both these purposes will be urged and so far comparatively little opposition to them has been developed.
 Opinions differ as to the length of time that may be required for the completion of the bill and estimates vary all the way from Wednesday to Saturday. The principal debate will be on the question of court review, which will probably be reached by Tuesday. After that is disposed of, there will be little heart left for any thing else, and whatever may be offer ed will most likely be acted upon after comparatively little discussion.
 
 up other measures after the rate bill shall have been disposed of. but it is expected that some of the appropria- tion bills will be ready for considera- tion by that time.

BOMB BTHROWER'S
 INACCURATE AIM
Unsuccessful Attempt to Asssssinate
 GOvernor.GeneralO of Moscow.

Moscow, May GA bomb was thrown at the carriage of Vice Admi- ral Doubassoff, governor general of Moscow, as he was being driven to the palace today. He was wounded in the foot and his aide de camp and a sentry were killed.
 The man who threw the bomb is re- ported to have been killed. He wore an officers uniform. Access to the palace is barred.
 Governor General DOubasoff was re- turning in an open carriage from the Uzpenske cathedral and the outrage took place outside the carriage en- trance to his palace. Several bystand- CTS were injured.
 According to the route decided in ad- vance, the governor general should have returned to the palace by the side entrance, but during the journey the driver changed his route and there by ran into the peril he was seeking to avoid.
 Doubasoff's life was saved by the poor aim of his would-be assassin. The bomb exploded on the pavement sew eraI paces to the rear of his carriage hurling the mutilated corpse of the ter rorist several yards backward and tear ing off one arm and the face of an aide, who was descending from the carriage. Doubasoff was thrown from his carriage and under the horses heels. His back was burned and his leg bruised, but he was able to walk unassisted into the palace. The coach mans skull was fractured, and he was taken to a hospital. It is thought the assassin was the student in whose room bomb exploded Saturday. killing three accomplices but who at the time was watching the palace from a room 1T the hotel opposite.
