TRENTON, May 10.-The long-ex-
pected list of appointments to the
new county boards of equalization of
taxation are not visible to the naked
eye in the governors office yet, al
though there were a number of re-
publicans from various parts of the
state anxious to see them. The gov
ernor is not yet ready to relieve the
anxiety. He had Senator Colby come
down to consult him about the nom
inees for Essex because the old Lentz
faction of the party seemed to have
a nation that they ought to name the
three men, while the governor in all
the other counties represented by the
republicans had deferred to the sena-
tors. The governor and Senator Col
by had a long conference, but no an
nouncement of the result was made,
and it was stated that no conclusion
was reached.

The STANDARD
IS UNCHANGED.
Woman Suffrage Also Voted Down
in Episcopal Convention Of
New Jersey Diocese.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 10.-The
effort made by some of the members
of the diocese of New Jersey tor set
the rector of the church 10 be 1.-The
moral censor of his congregation,
and another move to permit women
of the church to take part in voting
at the various parish meetings, both
met a quick death'in the convention
at St. James church yesterday. raj
The first mentioned was thorough
ly discussed and finally voted down
by a good majority. 1t was in, the
shape of a revision of the third afti-
Gle of the second anon. and made 1t
mandatory that a man should attend
church for at least six months prior
to the parish meeting, be in good
standing financially and be of good
moral character before he should be
allowed to vote at a parish meeting.
There were many views taken of the
question, and it was finally voted
down and the canon stands as 1t has
stood for some time.
The question of women being al,
lowed to vote was defeated by only a
small majority. 1t was argued that
women who pay their subscription to
the church, attend the services and
do a majority of all the work of the
church had as much right, and ever a
better right to vote at the parish
meetings than had many of those
who exercised that right. But there
were enough ministers and laymen
present who looked al. the matter in a
different light to defeat the object.
One of the most important acts of
the convention was the selection of
the Standing Committee, or Advisory
Committee to the bishop, which was
elected yesterday afternoon after
balloting that lasted nearly half of
the day. 1t resulted in the choice of
the following ministers and laymen:
Rev. A. B. Baker, ID, Rev. James
F. Olmsted, Rev. c, M. Perkins, Rev.
Elliott White, d. G. Baird, Francis
Collingwood, Charles Townsend and
j. Bingham Woodward. Charles Ew-
an Merritt was elected treasurer.
At the close of the convention the
bishop thanked the clergy and lay
men for their many kindnesses to
him, and for the cordially extended
him at all times.

CAR OPENS
FIRST DONNA.
Russian National Parliament at
Last Imperial Party Went
by Water.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 10.-The
imperial douma, the first national par
lament of Russia. was opened here TO
day with elaborate ceremonies. The
emperor and empress, with the simpe.
rial children. came in from Tsarskoe.
Selo to the Peterhof palace to play
their part in it.
Three imperial yachts conveyed their
majesties and the members of the inn
perial family, the court and the suits
to st. Petersburg. The route and other
plans for the journey were guarded
with the greatest secrecy.
The imperial party came by train
from Tsarskoe-Selo TO the palace at
Peterhof, where they boarded the
yachts and came up the river, landiNg
at the imperial dock in front of the
Winter palace, thus avoiding the ne
cessity of passing through the streets
of the capital. Immediately after the
ceremony their majesties returned to
Peterhof, where they will spend the
summer.
The emperor was escorted by his
personal escort of picked Cossacks and
a mixed battalion composed of detach-
ments from all the Russian guard regi-
ments.
The guard regiments are to keep
watch over the emperor's apartments
and those of the members of the court
while they are present at the cere-
mony.
The first session of the parliament
accomplished nothing beyond the cleo
ton of officers, which under Russian
fair. NJ. Muromstseff is the unanimous
choice of the party for president, and
Prince Peter Dolgoroukoff will be one
of the vice presidents.
1t has been decided not to open the
council of the empire until tomorrow
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The dread that some unfortunate
event might occur TO mar the solemnity
of the great day of Russia's new birth
has been dissipated. Members of the
Radical revolutionary parties of st.
Petersburg at an early hour issued an
announcement disclaiming any inten-
ton of attempting demonstrations and
calling upon their fellows to refrain
from displaying red flags or singing
the "Marseillaise" and to avoid all
conduct that would tend to bring about
a conflict with the police. A terroristlc
attempt was feared.
1t is announced that NJ. A. P. Isvol-
Skv Rusaian minister tn thp cOrrt of
Denmark, will replace Count Lams-
dorff as minister of foreign affairs.
NJ. Stolypin will replace NJ. Durnoyo

BULLET FROM
OWN PISTOL.
Second Autopsy Performed Upon
Charles S. SpiBEs--RRpOfted
DefauIter and Suicide.

NEW YORK. May 10.-With conclu-
siye proof that Charles l.. Spier was an
embezzler and that the bullet that
pierced his heart was of the same calf
Der as the empty shell in his revolver,
his friends have admitted that they can
Iilo longer doubt that he committed sui
eide.
Spier enjoyed the full confidence of
H II. Rogers of the Standard Oil com
pany. and up to the moment of his
death he was in a position to trade
upon. Mr.. Rogers name. A cursory ex-
animation of the books and papers un-
der his control has demonstrated that
he had falsitied them and misappropri-
ated many thousands of dollars. The
investigation has not vet gone far
enough to show how great MI. Rogers
loss will be, but it certainly will be
very large.
The discovery of the breach of trust
of his confidential nan was a bitter
blow to Mr.. Rogers.
Besides taking out new life insur-
ance for $4,000 during the last month
1t is learned that Spier had feneWeu u
$4,000 policy which he had permitted
to lapse.
Following the funeral a second autop-
sy was performed on the body and the
bullet extracted. 1t was found to be OF
30 caliber and fitted Spier's WI pis-
toll. The bullet was located in the back
under the left shoulder blade. In its
course through the body 1t had pene-
trated the heart.
The physicians and officials at the
autopsy declared themselves puzzled
as to how Spier could have staggered
or walked the distance he did after the
bullet had pierced his heart. His body
was found fully eighteen feet from
where the first blood spots in the hall
way of his house were noted.
District Attorney Kenney expresses
the belief that Spier shot himself acct
dentally. He declared he believed nei-
ther the burglar. nor suicide theory, but
thought Spier may have tripped in the
hall and thus discharged his weapon
against himself. The authorities are
still at odds as to whether the case is
one of murder, suicide or accident.
