GARCIA WINS INTER.
COLLEGIATE CONTEST

Rev. Thomas Harwood has received
a copy of The University Courier, pub
lished at Los Angeles, Cal, by the
students of the University Of South
ern California, which contains an ac-
count of the intercollegiate orator
ical contest, which occurred at Simp-
sons auditorium in that city, May
10. The New Mexico representative,
Ernesto B. Garcia, carried off all the
honors, his subject being "The Sub
stance in Government"
The Courier, in its comments on
Mr.. Garcia's oration, says
1T was a masterpiece in thought
and composition, ranking first place,
He argued that while the past has
been devoted to the problem of ac-
quiring liberty, the task of the pres
ent and future is the preservation and
perpetuation of the dearly bought her
itage. According 10 the measure in
which We accept our individual moral
possibilities, will be our success as
free people. Our government is in
deed strong, so strong that il is in
danger of its own strength-it must
be protected by It's own strength, the
strength inherent in its citizenship.
The mission of our democracy in the
world is too great, too important for
il to confront an early decay

NAVY DEPARTMENT
C0MMENDS A GUNNER

Brooklyn, n. Y, May 26-The as
sistant secretary of the navy, Mr..
NeWberry, has addressed a letter to
the cOmmandant of the navy yard. TO
be handed to Frank Davis, gunner's
mate on duty at the Brooklyn navy
yard, commending him for gallantry
which he displayed on the afternoon
of August /, 1905. The heroism was
show by Davis on the East River, on
the date mentioned. At the risk of
his own life, Davis jumped overheard,
and succeeded, after a severe strug-
gle, in rescuing Hugh McGoYeTn, a
roofer. who had leaped from the wharf
with suicidal intent. The case was
brought TO the attention of the Navy
Department, at the time, by Lieuten-
ant Commodore Craven, executive of
ficer of the Granite States, of the
Naval Militia of New York. Mr.. New
berry said, in concluding his letter of
commendation: "The Department
takes great pleasure in commencing
you fer your gallant act, and regrets
that so long a time was allowed TO
elapse before the matter was brought
to its attention" This latter remark
is interpreted as a severe rebuke of
the red tape methods in the depart
ment, which have been repeatedly
criticised by Mr.. Newberry and other
officials.

GENERAL DUVALL SANCTIONS
SHOOTING OF SOLDIER.

Washington, d. c., May 26.-The
War Department has received a copy
of the general order, among the first
issued by General w. p. Duvall, the
newly appointed brigadier general,
and now in command Of the Depart.
ment of the Gulf. It is unusual to the
extent that official commendatiOn is
given to an enlisted man of the 18th
Infantry for firing as a sentinel on
an escaping prisoner, at Fort McPher-
son, Ga, a few weeks ago. The sen
tinel killed the soldier who was trying
to escape from prison, and received
the department conn lnder's asknowl-
edgement OF prOmTr performance of
duty. General Duyal adds: "The
prisoner paid with his life for his ut
ter disregard of the sentiners re-
peated calls to halt Happily, the ne
cessity for such extreme measures is
rare, but it IS a distinct satisfaction
to know that when such summary ac
tiOn is clearly demanded there are
always trained men TO execute it. It
is hoped that this case of thorough
discharge of an extremely disagree
able duty may remain clearly inn
pressed on the troops of this com
mand."

EVERY DEMAND DECLARED
TO BE IMPOSSIBLE e

st. Petersburg, May 26.-Premier
Goremykins speech, which was unex-
pectedly firm in tone, produced such
a vivid impression that conflict is
now considered inevitable. To the de-
mands made in the address of the
lower house to the speech from the
throne, it was almost complete nom
possimus mot possible.)
1t reiterated that general amnesty
is impossible but promised to release
as rapidly as possible those arrested
by administrative order There could
be no question as TO the abolition Of
the council of empire, or the upper
house, as that is an institution covered
by fundamental law and beyond the
sphere and influence of parliament.
Most important of all, the premier
declared the basis of solution of the
agrarian problem proposed by the
lower house, completely impossible.
There could be no forced expropria-
tion of land. He promised, however,
a distribution of some of the state
domains, and outlined a broad pro-
gram for popular education, the re
vision of tax laws and the institution
of political liberty.

MATTERS GROWING WORSE
IN ALL The PROVINCES

ST. Petersburg, May 26.-Grave
news comes frcm the provinces. In
stead of acting as a sedative, the as
sembling of parliament has been
marked by an alarming increase of
revolutionary agitation and terror
istic activity on the one hand and of
the Black Hundred activity on the
other. The extremists of both sides
are thus divided into two hostile
camps, and both are arming, as if
preparing for inevitable civil war
Sanguinary conflicts continue to be
reported.
The governments refusal to grant
a general amnesty for political pris-
oners, furnishes the proletariat or
CARNATIONS a powerful weapon, and
they threaten that unless tomorrow,
the anniversary Of the emp.ror's cor
onation, sees amnesty proclaimed, 70
call a general strike as a preliminary
to an armed uprising.
Constant rumors of a reactionary
coup d'etat, the dispersal of parlia-
ment and the establishment of die
tatorship under General Trepoff add
TO the general excitement, and the
rech today appeals to the government
to put an end to the disquleting re-
port by an official denial.

AMERICAN REGATTA MEETS
FOR FOURTH ROWING

Philadelphia, Pa, May 26.-There
is every indication that the fourth
American regatta under the auspices
of the American Rowing association,
which will take place over the famous
course on the Schuylkill river this
afternoon, will be the greatest ever
held. Never before has there been so
much enthusiasm in rowing circles
and never have colleges, clubs and in
dividual oarsmen displayed as mucn
interest in this event than this year.
The number of entries is unusually
large, although some of the colleges
and clubs invited found it necessary
to decline the invitations sent to
them, other colleges made up for the
deficiency by entering two crews,
hrst and a second.
For two weeks or more the various
crews have been carefully practicing
on the course and it may be said that
there never was a finer lot of oars
men pitted against each other at any
previous American regatta. The ar
rangements for the regatta have been
most carefully planned and everything
is in readiness for the great event,
which will begin at 2 O'Clock this af-
ternoOn. The course is the same
straight stretch on the Schuylkill
over which the regatta of last year
was rowed, and every race will be
over the full course of one mile and
$50 yards straightaway.
The regatta will open with a race
for first single sCulls for the Farra-
gut Challenge cup. II will be follow
ed by a race for second single sculls.
Then comes the race for first double
sculls for the Schuylkll Challenge
cup; a race for first four SOULS, or
centipedes, the race for first pair
cared shells; the race for first four
cared shells for the Puritan Challance
cup: the race for second four-oared
shells: race of first eight-Oared shells
for the Stewards Challenge cup; a
race for second eightOared shells; a
race for Junior collegiate eight-oared
shells for the New England Challenge
cup; a race for In-erscholasuc eight
cared shells for the Franklin Chal-
lenge cup. and first eight scull oc'
tOpede race.

their chairs, when Roditcheff turned
toward the benches occupied by the
ministry, and with arm outstretched,
menacingly declared: 1T is not the
government, but the representatives
of the people here assembled who
must decide what is best for the wei
fare of the people.
The members went wild with en-.
thusiasm. Roditcheff concluded with
the demand for the retirement of the
bureaucratic cabinet, and the crea
tlon of a responsible ministry from

Reports regarding the amount Of
water in the river and the danger Of
overflow, if there be any, differ wide
ly. Yesterday afternoon County Com
missioner Severe Sanchez came from
across the river and reported 10 AL
fred Grunsfeld, chairman of the board
of county commissioners, that the riy-
er had risen to such an extent that 1t
was running over the Atrisco dyke at
the intake of the Atrisco acequia
and that aid was needed TO stay the
water and put the dyke back in good
repair. This morning Mr.. Sanches
sent an order to Mr.. Grunsfeld for
two coils of barb wire, which was
sent him. Mr.. Sanchez stated that
with this wire and some trees fur
nished by him, the break could be re-
paired. Doubtless as a result of this
report this morning there was circul-
ated a scarehead story, which prob
ably caused some little unwarranted
alarm. The story was far-fetChed in
the extreme. When shown the story
this morning, County Surveyor ID, j.
Rankin branded it as a pure false
hood. "The water hasn't been within

LOWER HOUSE PREPARED
GOVERNMENT REFUSAL.

St Petersburg, May 26.-The eX-
pectation that Premier Goremykins
statement of the governments pro-
gram would be utterly unfavorable,
caused great excitment at the open
ing of the lower house of parliament
this afternoon. The Constitutional
democrats in caucus this morning
adopted the following resolution:
"In as much as the answer of the
government contravenes the demands
expressed in the address of the low
er house of parliament, therefore the
party of peoples liberty (Constitu-
tional democrats) expresses complete
distrust in the cabinet, desires its i'm
mediate resignation, and proceeds
with the order of the day"
The labor party's resolution is sim
liar in purport but in stronger terms,
demanding instead of desiring the dis
missal of the cabinet and the forma-
tion of responsible ministery from
the parliamentary majority.
