PET REGIMENT IS
 NOW DISCONTENTED
THE CHARS CRACK BODY DRAWS RESOLUTIONS DECLARING IT WILL STAND BY THE ACTION OF THE RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT.

St. Petersburg, June 2T.-The command CT of the ultra loyal Preobrajensky resi- ment. to which belong the men who re- gently held meeting in the guard camp at Krasnoye-selo. and drew up resolu- tions addressed to their commander up holding all the actions of Parliament, and declaring that they want no more police duty entailing the staying of brother or father, has been severely repri- inanded by the Emperor
 The severe reprimand that Emperor Nicholas felt called upon to administer to the commander of the first and most honored regiment in the Russian service, is the clearest comment possible upon the serious spread of the revolutionary propa- ganda in the army.
 The Preobrajensky Is the oldest regi- ment of the guard and has first choice each year In the selection of recruits throughout the whole empire.
 The Emperor is titular colonel of the regiment and almost invariably wears its uniform on state occasions. The demands of the men which were published in full today, show clearly by their adoption of the motto: "One for all; all for one," that the movement was engineered by revolutionists. These words always form the concluding phrase of the procla- nations and literature of the organiza- ton of the social revolutionists. The de- mands of the first battalion were adopted at a meeting held in the barracks yard in open defiance of their officers, the men refusing to listen to the officer of the day, or to their own company officers.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. June 27.-The general de- ficiency bill. the last of the big money measures, passed the House at o'clock today with few changes in the text of the bill Several items were inserted due to late information of deficiencies in the de- partments. the net increase being about $6O0.o00 over the bill as reported from the committee on appropriations
 Among the important actions of the House today were the passage of the Sen ate bill providing for lock type Of canal and the adoption of the item in the general deficiency bill ratifying and legal izing the duties collected during Presi- dent A1cKiniey's term from imports from the Philippine islands. Early in the day it looked as if the democrats would line up solidly against the amendment, which was put back in the bill under rule. but under the lead of Mir. James of Kentucky the opposition melted away and few dem- ocratic votes were cast against 1t on it's final passage.
 At o'clock the House took q recess until o'clock this evening.

you were rising above the earth.
Only, in the twinkling OF an eye. you
were looking down on everything. with
all the familiar landmarks, all the
wonted standards OF comparison, blot
ted out. You may. for example, often
have had a bird's-eye view from a
comparatively considerable height
say from the top of the Great Wheel.
You are then above your scene, and
the splendid view is beneath you. But
there always remain other points-the
steeple of a church. the tower OF the
Imperial institute. or the dome OF St
Paul's-that adjust. as il were. the eye
to a certain focus. But from a bal
loon there are. of course, no standards
OF comparison. The dome OF St
Paurs is a fiat circular hump in the
ground plan of its roof, and he Albert
hall is a molehill. Through the haze
on the horizon one saw the Thames
like a silver streak apparently m
bossed above the miniature panorama.

Trailing. for beginners at any rate,

motion absent under other conditions.
For example, you may be travelling at
the rate OF 30 or 40 miles an hour. but
because you are travelling at the same
velocity as the wind, you seem drift
ing absolutely becalmed. Hence a
straw hat for b~allooning is not such

will be accomplished.
The earthquake of April is caused a
few million dollars damage-possibly
So 900, 900 would cover that loss. The
Ore, which had full play after the
quake had broken the water mains,
burned over 514 squares, or 1850
acres, or four square miles. the total
loss being estimated at $500, 000, 900.
On this property there was insurance
amounting to about 1915. 000. 900. OF
this insurance about $780, 600, 900 had
been paid in cash to policyholders up
