years with a complication of diseases.

EARTHQUAKE INVESTIGATION.
Commission Reports on Probable
Causes and Outward Evidence.


Causes and Outward Evidence.
Sacramento, Cal, June 4.-The pre-
liminary report of the State Earth
quake Commission was received yes
terday at the Office of Governor Par
dee. In general terms, the causes of
the movements are attributed to the
theory that stresses are generated in
the earth's crust and accumulate un-
til they exceed the strength of the
rocks composing the crust and find
relief in sudden rupture. The ex-
tent of the rift of April 18 is describ-
ed as extending from the vicinity of
Point Arena to the neighborhood of
San Juan, Benito county, distance
of 185 miles. The evidence of rupture
and of differential movements is
clearly defined in continuous fur
row of the surface soil several feet
wide. The average displacement is
is 20 feet wide The report says: 1T
is probe that the latitudes and lon
gitudes of all points in the coast
range have been permanently chang
ed few feet. the modern classes
of building structures appear to have
been relatively passive, while the
backgrounds in their vicinity were
profoundly disturbed. The minor
shocks succeeding the main one are
interpreted as due to subordinate ad-
justments of the earth's crust in
the tendency to reach an equilibrium.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Reports
have reached the state department of
the organization of another revolution
airy movement directed against the
government of President Caceres of
Santo Domingo.
1t is expected that the island of Porto
Rico Is the base of operations and it
is supposed that eX-President Morales
and Jiminez are the leaders of the
movement. instructions have been sent
to the insular governor of Porto Rico
to take steps to carry out the neutrality
laws, which would prevent the organi-
zation and departure of any hostile ex-
pedition, and the American warships
surrounding the island of Santo Do
mingo will also be instructed to prevent
any landing of hostile forces and to

FULL AMNESTY
IS DEMANDED
M. RodicheH, Constitutional Demo-
crat, Insists That the Death
Penalty Be Forever
Abandoned
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May Without
a dissenting voice and with evidences
OF the deepest feeling, the parliament
of the evening session adopted a reSo-
luton instructing the committee, which
will draft the reply to the speech from
the throne to include in 1t request
for full amnesty for political, agrarian
and military crimes, and a recon-
mendation for the immediate abandon
ment of the death penalty for all Of
fenses, criminal as well as political.
The committee, which Is composed of
eleven members, constitutional Demo-
Gratis, peasants, nationalists, (Poles)
Let's, Tartars, ETC.. was not hampered
with further Instructions, but was asked
If possible to submit report at the
opening Of the session at 2 o'clock to-
morrow.
Eloquent Debate
The debate on the resolution, which
followed long day Of routine bust
ness, was simple but eloquent. M. iRodi-
cheff Constitutional Democra), the
author of the motion, made the only
extended speech.
This was followed by dozen or more
stirring two-minute addresses by peas
ant and labor representatives, whose
eloquence will compare favorably with
world.
The tenor of the whole debate was
expressed in the words OF M. Rodicheff,
that the opportunity for a reconcilia-
tion of the people by acceding to their
prayer for amnesty was now knocking
at the emperor's door, but that what
he failed to give the people with ele-
mental force they would take.
M. Rodicheff's speech was most elo-
nd In aY-f nj
Greeted With Cheers
Pardon is the prerogatlve of the
monarch and 1 will not submit a bill
for pardon. During the electoral cam
paign and even here the only word we
heard was the word amnesty. The ju-
-isconsults Of Russia maintain that the
death penalty Is non existent in Rus
sia, but In April alone there were
ninety-nlne executions. The ghosts of
the victims, dripping with, blood. crowd
this hall and we cannot work in this
place until they are laid. (Cheering.)
"Must Not Repeat Error"
pardon is necessary, but it must be
general. We don't need partial am
nesty. The error of October 80 must
have committed crimes must be for
given as the Apostle Peter was for
given.
"A general pardon will constitute the
seal of union between the people and
the emperor" (Prolonged cheering)
The adoption of the resolution was
due to the peasants, who not only voted
down the motion for a two hours re-
cess for dinner. but went hungry in or
der to obtain immediate action.
They also insisted on working Sun
days in order to expedite the solution
of the burning problems before the
parliament.
At the moment when the parliament
was adopting the resolution favoring
amnesty Cossacks were breaking up a
student demonstration in the Nevsky
prospect. They charged a crowd of a
thousand men and women carrying red
flags and singing the Marseillaise.
