Would Take Vow to Subordinate
Family and Government Ties to the
Modern Elijah.

decision today in the controversy be-
tween the adherents of John Alexan-
der Dowie and Wilbur Voliva over the
property at Zion City. The court holds
that Zion City and it's industries do not
belong to Dowie; that while the con-
tributors' funds did not. express a for
NAL declaration Of trust, a trust was
created and Dowie had no right to
treat the property as his own.
Refuses Appointment.
The court refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver for the reason
that Granger had made vow recog-
nizing Dowie as the messenger of a
covenant and prophet foretold, my
Messiah and Elijah, the restorer," to
which vow call family ties and obliga-
tions and all relations to human gov
ernments shall be held subordinate"
Words of Rebuke.
The court said he was not obliged to
repose confidence in man so consti-
tuted that, living in this republic, he
would serenely vow his readiness at
all times to abandon his family and be-
tray his country The court ordered an
election on the third Tuesday of Sep
tember of a general overseer, all mem
bers of the church residing in Zion
City, male and female, to have one
vote. He announced that suitable
provision would be made for Dowie on
account of his services a strustee.

Hampered BY Police.

st. Petersburg. July 27.-Decision re-
garding proposed strike is still in the
balance. The conferences of leaders
are being greatly hampered by the ac-
tivity of the police who all day yes
terday and last night bounded them
from place to place The hope of the
leaders being able to bring about a genu-
Inc coup dictate, however, is vanishing.
Reports of support to be expected from
the army are disappearing A certain
faint-heartedness is noticeable among
the leaders, produced by fear of fail
ure in the face of the imposing array
of the governments military forces.
The section of constitutional demo
Gratis has withdrawn from all partic1-
patton in the conspiracy, not being
ready to sanction the opening of civil
war. "a half dozen government spies

In Poland and small strikes are report
ed to have been declared in many
places in the provinces, butthe present
movement, so far as reports show, is
not gathering headway. Half of the
Seminovsky guard regiment has been
sent to Cronstadt in view of the ugly
temper of the sailors there.
Revolution Remote.
The revolution which the czar risked
by dissolving the douma, last night, so
far as surface indications in ST. Peters
burg denote, is reduced to a possibility
, of the most remote nature. And it is
the same in the provinces, where the
tranquility of the population surprises
every one.
The important development Of the
day was the announcement by Premier
Stolypin that strong handed reform
would be the feature of his administra-
ton. The premier expressed his own
and the governments belief that this
policy. aided by the innate patriotism
of the masses" and the army, (which
