Arriving at Basalt the special was

and after the cars had returned to the

its appearance.
After the rain the riders refused to

started off as per order amid the cheers

The fine condition of the road and

The Cars Purpose of Putting the ParIia-
 ment at Recess
The Representatives of the People Threaten Vigorous Resistance Saying that the State of Country Can not be Improved by Delay.

St. Petersburg. June 16.-The Asso- Emperor Nicholas has definitely decid- ed to declare a recess of parliament June ?, and that his majesty and the royal family will immediately thereaf- ter leave on a cruise of the Finnish fiords on board the imperial yacht Standard, which is being fitted out for that purpose. If this decision is ex- ecuted it is almost certain to be the signal for an immediate and bloody struggle.
 The group of toll, as an outcome of its open declaration. against a recess. passed a resolution declaring that neither now nor in the near future can parliament be recessed; that the mem bers will not leave their posts, and that so long as the arbitrariness and outrages of the government continue and the terrors of impending out breaks and sufferings of the peasantry and workmen reign. parliament must continue until it has achieved "a land of freedom or exhausted all means to this end
 The conservative liberal neWspa- . per Strana prints a story that Emperor William has promised his support to Emperor Nicholas if the Russian ruler adopts a firm policy. But this re- port is clearly traceable to sources hos tile to Germany and which have tried to make it appear that William is the evil genius of Nicholas.

Manila. June 16.-Macaro Sakaya, Carion. vice president of the Filipino republic, surrendered at the constabu- lary headquarters at Manila today. The military and civil authorities are much elated, as Sakaya was chief of ladron- ism in Luzon, and his surrender means an end of the campaigns in this sec tion
 The surrender of this ladrone chief tain was accomplished through the in- fiuence of Villa Fuerte former of ficial of Sakaya's government. The acting chief of the constabulary con- ferred with Villa Fuerte two months ago, and when the latter gave himself up he promised to use his influence with Sakaya to persuade him to sur render. He met Sakaya in the prov inces recently for a long conference, which resulted in the latter'S Surren- der.
 "I surrendered" said Sakaya. be cause fighting is an uphill game. and the Filipinos will never succeed in gaining independence until they show themselves worthy of it. There is nothing to be gained by opposing the Americans"
 His surrender is regarded as the most important since the close of the lnsurrection. Sakaya is an educated Filipino. and, after giving the Amer ican authorities much trouble in and around Manila, proclaimed himself su- preme head of the republic. with head quarters in the Tagalog islands, formed a large staff. and issued commissions to generals and other officers
 He went into the provinces years ago and started a campaign of robbery and general depreciation. A reward of S10OO was offered for his capture Sakaya fought several battles with the constabulary. and was twice reported killed, but always evaded arrest
