Indications Point to Victory for
 Constitutional Democrats
VOTES ID BE COUNTED TODAY
Stage Peasants" Attired in Old Rue sian Costumes Stand at Polls and Cry "Vote for God and
 the Emperor"

St. Petersburg April 1.--1t was apparent late this afternoon that the constitutional democrats were destined to score de- csive victory in the elections to the muni- cipal convention, which in turn will elect six members of the lower house of par liament. It is not believed that the blocks" will carry more than one of the twelve districts. Their ticket is support ed by numerous organizations including the Octoberlsts.
 Great Interest In Voting.
 Voting began at o'clock this morning. There is an average of 15.0o0 voters for each polling place. The interest mani- fested in the election Is evidenced by the fact that half the vote was cast before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In some places crowds gathered at the polls before they were opened. In the university district 2O0O persons voted during the first half hour. Considering the fact that four fifths of the voters exercised the right of citizenship for the first time in their lives, there was little confusion. The great ma- jorty appeared with their ballots already prepared at home simply presented the certificates entltling them to vote, and dropped their ballots into the sealed boxes.
 | Great precautions were taken to pre- vent disorders and possible bomb throw l ing. A cordon of police surrounded each l polling place, and no one without certi- | ficate was permitted to enter At several polling places peasants attired In old Russian costumes accosted voters and pleaded with them to the accompaniment of many signs of the cross not to turn out the Emperor.
 Stage Peasants" on Hand. Vote for God and the Emperor" was the burden of their appeal. The general l impression was that they were stage 1 peasants" plcketed at the polls to infiu- 1 ence the lower classes in favor of the conservatives

 Many leading Gctoberists. the stronH faction in the block" openly boas bolting the ticket and voting for cA tutonal democrats on account of distrnst of their conservative allies.
 Paul M. Milukoff. the leader of the stitutional democrats. told the Assocl Press tonight that his party had can every ward of the city with the possi exception of the admiralty quarter, N residence section of officials and mem bers of high society. Not single in- stance of disorder has been reported.

Formal Announcement Made.

The formal announcement of the over throw of John Alexander Dowie was made tonight by Overseer John G. Speicher, who presided over meeting or 5uou members of the church in the taber7 naele al Zion City The meeting opened with the quotation by various church dig nitaries of passages from the Bible ex- pressive of sentiment which has grown up against the self-styled prophet. The crowd which filled the great structure and which formerly answered yes and .nor when Dowie nodded Or shook his head. tonight applauded when he was accused. Overseer Speicher called out the numbers Of chapters and verses of scripture, and in response the various church officials and prominent members who occupied seats upon the platform auoted the passages called for.
 The new dictator of Zions fortunes. Wilbur Glenn Yoliva. responding to the reference given him, quoted;

Situation Is unchanaed.

New York, April 2.-The eve of the sec
 meeting of the committees repre- hting the anthracite mine workers and
 cir employers, finds the situation so as the hard coal fields are concerned unchanged from that disclosed in the communications that have passed be- tween the contending forces and which have been made public. Neither miner nor operator tonight would venture a prediction as to the outcome, as neither party is aware of what the next move of the other will be. Both sides are hope ful, however and there is a feeling among those vitally interested in the struggle that some way out of the pres ent difficulty will be found.
 President Mitchell arrived here tonight from Indianapolis and established head quarters at the Ashland house.
 It was the expectation of MT. Mitchell to call the district president and secre- taries comprising the Shamokin scale committee together tonight for last conference prior to meeting with the op- orators, but 1t was decided to delay the conference until tomorrow morning. None of the district leaders would be quoted as to the situation shown by the first days suspension. but they all admitted privately that the utmost harmony pre- vails in the region, and that rumors that thousands of men would not obey the sus- pension order have proved groundless. Thsy reported that the only colliery work ing full handed in the Peoples Coal com pany or Oxford plant, in the northern field, which is run almost exclusively by non-union men. The washeries that were in operation today employ. the dis trict leaders say, only a small number of men and they are not well organized.
 Meeting Held at Noon.
 Tomorrow's meeting between the sub committee of the miners and the oper- ators will be held at noon probably in the offices of the Central railway of New Jersey, and is expected to be of short duration It is believed that nothing will be definitely agreed upon According to Information obtained tonight, the pro

Idle in Anthracite Field.

Philadelphia, April 2.-There was a complete suspension of mining operations in the anthracite region today In ac- cordance with the order issued last week by President Mitchell of the mine work ers. and the scale committee of that or VI .fzatk 4 wStli the solitary exception of the Oxford colliery, small independent operation near Scranton, which employs about 800 hands with daily capacity of about 200 tons. This mine was kept in operation during the strike in 1902 Every coliiery was opened as usual, and in readiness for the workers, but there was no response to the blowing of the whis- ties. other than the appearance of the engineers, fremen, pumpmen and others whose presence at the mines is necessary to preserve them from injury and who were exempted in President Mitchelrs order.
 The action of the miners occasioned no surprise on the part of the operators, who while they offered work and protec- ton to any who might desire to go into the mines did not anticipate, the accept ance of their offer.
 Non-Union Men Not Imported
 Significance is attacheu Dy lHe HiHelS to the fact that there is no apparent at tempt on the part of the operators to import non-union labor which 'they re- gard as favorable sign. The miners leaders are careful to assert that no strike has been declared, the suspension they claim being merely business ne cessity as the miners have no arrange Atuent with the operators until the scale is adjusted by the committee.
 During the day in several of the dis tricts groups of men picketed the ap- breaches to the colleries, but their pres ence was unnecessary.
 There are 400 colleries in the anthracite region employing 1600O0 men and boys Miners officials tonight estimated the number of mine workers who obeyed the order to suspend operations as follows
 Sub-district No. 1, carbondale, 24O00; No. ?. Scranton. 26.OO0; No 8, Pittson, 1S, D00; No. 1, Wilkesbarre, 25,000; No. B.. Hazleton, 12.o00; No. 6, Shenandoah, IT, 300; No 2, Shamol1in. 12,O00; No. s, Potts- 4ille, 5000. Total 143,000
 IThis leaves 17,0OO men who are permit thd to continue at work to prevent the | rAines from flooding

Eliminate Special Privileges.

'rhe elimination of special privileges is the great question before the people or this countryside railroad rebate special privilege; the tariff so arranged as 10 give special privilege and create monop- oly, and every special privilege founded on graft There is room in this country for only two great political parties. Our form of government naturally makes one the party of special privileges. and the other the party of equal rights; one the party of the classes, the other the party of the masses. No grander mission can be in store for the democratic party than to continue the fight for the rule of the people against graft and special privi- leges. Clothed in the armor of a right eous cause, the attack of democracy upon the citadel of graft and monopoly if ag- gressive enough for just triumph in the end for the principles of true democ- racy, are enduring because they are just and invincible. because they are right ,"

Founder of Zi0n Cit Is An
 Outcast in Mexico
IS ADVOCATE OF POLYGAMY
Stinging Message Is Sent to Deposed Leader By New Rulers In the City He Founded and Brought
 Into Prominence.

Chicago, April John Alexander Dowie, head of Christian Catholic church in Zion .oday deposed as religious leader N .spended from mem bershlp in the church he founded, shorn of his temporal possessions as far as they are located in Zion City the home of his church, and warned to accept the situa- ton quietly lest worse things befall him
 The active revolt against the leadership of Dowie was foreshadowed yesterday when Overseer Voliva, who had been placed by Dowie in charge of the church while he sought health in Jamaica and Mexico, annapnced that he would no long CT accept the orders of Dowie who had, he declared, grossly mismanaged the af- fairs of the church. The members of the church. including the wife and son of Dowie agreed to stand with him.
 Voliva Holds Power of Attorney.
 The first move looking to his overthrow was made early today by overseer Vol
 iva, who holds the power of attorney from Dowie. In company with several other officers of the church Volva hastened to Waukegan. the county seat of Lake coun- ty, in which Zion City is situated, and filed for record warranty deed, trans ferring to Deacon Alexander Grainger all the real estate held by Dowie in Zion City. He also executed bill of sale to Deacon Grainger putting him in possess sion of all the personal property of Dowie including his horses and carriages, books and even his bed Later in the day Grain- ger conveyed these to Voliva and at nightfall the overseer appointed by Dowie had not only succeeded him as the head of the church, but was the holder of all his property as well.
 The following message was then sent to Dowie. informing him of the changed situation:

No Honest Man Need Fear.

"No man that Is doing an honest pus mess need fear from the arousins oI tne conscience of the people against wrongs. The distinguishing characteristic or thls crusade for higher ideals is the conserVa- tlsm of the people They do not oppose riches honestly acquired, but they do op- iect to special privileges out of whien tainted riches grow.
 .'The agitation against ill-gotten gains dees not mean a rabid socialism, or the destruction of vested rights of any one. The man who would retard legitimate ln- dustrial development Is as much pubic enemy. as he who would oppress the peo- nle beneath the golden heel of monopoly
 "rhe cry Is not for socialism or an archv. but that the corporation magnate respect the law that governs the conduct of the corporation as he asks others 10 resnect the law that protects the prop ertv of the corporation. The anarchy of capital breeding lawlessness is no more to be tolerated than the anarchy of labor breeding riot and disorder. This govern ment does not rest either upon the idie rich or the idle poor. but upon the en- ergv and patriotism of the middle classes. This Is the class that suffers under the reign of special privileges Men may acquire wealth by any form of lawless- ness or graft, but it is the wealth of the buccaneer. and the pirate, and not that oftaine6 fi,ruttpi1 natural means.

 ward the Wrongdoer.

Des Moines, la, April Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri was the chief speaker at the Jefferson banquet tonight, under the au- spices of the Iowa Democratic club. Gov ernor Folk, responding to the subject Good Government" spoke in part as follows:
 ''we are in the midst of one of the most dramatic periods of American his- tory, the period in which the peoples rights are to be defined and observed as they never have been before. There are some who see danger to our institutions III the agltations resulting from the ex- posures in official and business life. l do not share this view. To my mind the hope for the perpetuity of this govern ment by the people was never brighter than nov. The fact that this awakening has come at time of unusual prosperity shows that it does not proceed from spirit of discontent, but springs from the moral sense of the people. It is simply Il determination to stamp out the things that dishonor in public life and the things that oppress in private life-a nrm resolve that government shall be repre- sentative Of the good, not of the bad.

THE STAGE FRESHMAN.
Is Objected to 0nly When He De-
 grades the Irishman.

Father Carroll of Wallingford rises to the defense of the stage lrishman in this weeks Catholic Transcript. IL looks as though the writer was on the wrong track. No one objects to Irish wit and humor. It would be im- possible to eradicate that, but stren- uous objection is made to the red whiskered, baboon faced Irish char acters. Here is what that renowned Gaelic scholar, Dr Douglas Hyde, said in New York when discussing this subjects
 "Oh. where is the venerable cus- todian of Ireland's song and music. the man, who always commanded a welcome at the peasants fireside as he trudged through the bogs and over the mountains and through the woods of his country? He sleeps with his green bag beside him under the green sward. In his place have come that quintessence of all vulgarity and all abomination, known the world over as The Stage Irishman.' Gentlemen, your action in dealing with that mon- ster gave me a greater satisfaction and impressed upon me the imperish- ability of the Irish character, the pos sibility of welding our race together, more than any other thing that re- member reading in the American press. Douglas Hyde, New York, November 26, 1905.
