CONGRESS NOT TO ACT
Type of Canal is Fixed by the spoOner
Act.

Washington, May 2.-congress is not
likely to pass legislation determining
the type of canal to be constructed
across the Isthmus of Panama. AL
though no vote was taken that was the
drift of discussion by the senate com
mittee on interoceanic canals which
was in session for three hours to-day.
The sentiment expressed by an over
whelming majority Of the committee
that the present law, the Spooner act,
intended to provide for a lock canal,
and that congress having once decided
this question should not alter it's de-
cision especially as the administration
charged with the construction favors
that plan.

WILL SUSTAIN sMooT CHARGES
Poll Of the Senate Committee ON Prlvi-
leges and Elections.

Washington, May "A poll Of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections to-day developed that a ma
jority will vote to sustain the charges
against Senator Smoot, but that the full
strength of the opposition cannot be
held for a report recommending the ex-
clusion of the senator, which would re-
quire only majority vote of the SEN
ate. In view of this showing, those
who believe the charges against the
Utah Senator were proved are seeking
an agreement by which a report can
be made in favor of unseating Mr..
Smoot, and without taking into consid-
Grafton the constitutional questions in
volved. If this is done it would leave
to the determination of the question
whether a majority or a two-thirds
vote is required to unseat him.

NEW HOUSE REVOLTS
Russian Radicals In Douma
 Wanted to Wire Czar.
AMNESTY BURNING QUESTION NOW.
St. Petersburg Expects Riots and Dis- order Today, the Muscovite May Day - Capital Is Strongly
 PatrOlled.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.-An- other of the incipient radical revolts with which it is apparent the Consti- | tutional Democratic majority must continually contend broke out in the lower house of parliament when Labor members introduced resolutions for the immediate submission to Emperor Nicholas by telegraph of demand that amnesty be proclaimed at once.
 In view of today's May day demon strations and the arrests that are ex- pected in consequence the Constitu- tional Democratic leaders were scarce ly able to stave off so precipitate a move. which would undo all the re- suits of their moderation, by sending their best orators into the fray when Professor Kovalevsky, free lance member, proposed that instead of tele- graphing the emperor the house send President Muromtseff to Peterhof with the request for immediate amnesty.
 This threatened to sweep the house, but the Constitutional Democrats by sharp politics managed to sidetrack the matter until after the selection of a commission. which, according to Rus sian procedure. occupied several hours, and then were able to defeat 1t.
 After this incident the lower house adjourned until tomorrow. May day was not mentioned, but abandonment of the session today was dictated out of respect for the socialistic holiday as well as with the desire to give the com mission adequate time to draft the re- ply to the speech from the throne.
 All indications point to the near dis solution of the douma. The emperors advisers tell him that three weeks more of the douna will bring revolu- tion. that the members of the lower parliamentary body are disloyal and that their open sessions are nothing less than schools for the growth of se- dition. The critical situation may force the emperor to follow the men who believe in a pure democracy.
 Though the socialists and workmen of St. Petersburg have proclaimed their intention of celebrating May day peaceably today. the government has made preparations on large scale to meet possible disorders. Patrols fill many streets in the industrial quarters. and all disorder will be at once put down by police and military.
 The police at Tifiis have discovered an underground storehouse containing 2j0 loaded bombs.

 PouRhkeepsie Pastor, In Sermon on l9 'sMuck Rakers." Scores Trusts. nj 1,
 POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.. May 14.- In sermon on "The Muck Rakers' in the Washington Street NJ. E. church here last night the Rev Dr. William P. George, the pastor, answered Chancel- Tor Day of Syracuse university, assert ing that the chancellor does not repre- sent the Methodist church in his attack on President Roosevelt and defense of Standard Oil. He said:
 T am aware that Standard Oil mon- ey has put up several buildings for Syracuse university. and it may build more. Therefore it is only natural that Chancellor Day should defend Rockefeller. but when it is made to appear that the Methodist church is the apologist for trusts or for million aires protest.

MONDAY, MAY IA, 1906.

The opponents of congressional free seeds are still very busy. and a large delegation appeared before the sen ate committee on Agriculture last week in opposition to the distribution of common garden seed through what is popularly known as the congress sional free seed distribution. The dele gation consisted of representative of the national and local granges, grow CTS of seeds and wholesale and retail dealers ill seeds. This is the first time the seedsmen have ever had an oppor- tunity to present their case to the senate committee. Ex-Governor Ma than J. Bachelder, of Concord, \. H., master of the national grange, pre- sented to the committee the resolu- tions of the national grange, adopted at Portland, Oregon, denouncing the distribution. He urged that the money which goes into the free seed distri- button ostensibly for the benefit of the farmer should be diverted to sonie purpose that would be useful to agri- culture. Governor Bachelder stated that the national grange had SoO,o00 members with branch granges in thirty states and that it had grown S7 per cent in the last eight years. He said the farmers as body did not want the seeds although they might be instances here and there where farmers did want them. they would greatly prefer to have the money ex. pended in other directions.

President Roosevelt, the idol of the people" the man inwhom they believe the man who can do no wrong. has given into the men who represent the interests of the great roads. and has accepted the one amendment to the bill that they want. An amend. ment to take the rate-making power out of the hands of the commission, place 1t in the hands of the courts. just where the railroads want 1t placed. According to this amendment the rate fixed by the commission does not hold until the courts have ad- judicated the matter. thus compelling the roads to get busy and try the case as soon as possible but it stops the rate from being operative until the courts have decided whether or not it is a just rate. etc. and so on to the end. Thus the roads can keep the rate in question in the courts as long as they please and wear the shipper to Il frazzle. This is what the roads want and of course they will accept it and the bill will pass with this amend ment and then this hypocritical ad- ministration will sing out loud and long that it has gained a victory for the people and the people will believe that 1t has and will go on swearing to it and will never know the difference. The only people who will know the difference will be the shippers of the country, and not one-tenth of the vot- CTS of the country are shippers. Thus nine.tenths of the voters of the coun- try are fooled and will continue to be- lieve that this republican administra. ton has gained a victory for them over the railroad corporations.

 As the usual symptoms of strangula- tion were absent, it is conjectured that the man was killed elsewhere and his body brought to the villa on the night of April 10. This would agree with the date of the execution of Gapon given in information of the secret po- lice and with the death sentence of the former priest as announced in recent dispatches from Berlin.

 CONSTANTINoPLE. May 14.-Ta. bah has been evacuated by Turkish troops by order of the sultan. The porte's reply to the British note agreed to the evacuation of Tabah and to the appointment of commission for the delimitation of the boundary, but it was couched in such terms as to make it not acceptable to Sir Nicholas R.

 The porte's reply to the British note promised to restore the status quo ante on the Sinai peninsula and the delimi- tation of the frontier by Turkish and Egyptian officials now on the spot.
