We called the representatives by our

pected benefits for the country from
their. labors. We proposed great re-
forms in all departments of national
life.
cruel disappointment has befallen
our expectations. The representatives
of the nation, instead of applying them
selves to the work of productive legis--
lation strayed into a sphere beyond
their competence and have been MAX
ing comments on the imperfections of
the fundamental laws, which can only
be modified by our Imperial will. In
short, the representatives of the nation
have undertaken really illegal acts,
such as an appeal TO the nation by the
Parliament.
The peasants, disturbed by such
anomalies. seeing no hope for the
amelioration of their lot, resorted In
a number Of districts to open pillage.

The 1nonensive African Lion.

Lions are increasing In number
throughout the district, and, 1 believe,
in all Angola, though they are still
not so common as leopards. writes II.
w. Nevinson in Harper's. Certainly
they watch the road for dinner, and
all the way from Benguela to Bihe you
have a good chance of hearing them
purring about your wagon any night.
Sometimes then you may find certain
satisfaction in rejecting that you are
inside the wagon and that twenty
oxen or more are sleeping around you,
tied to their yokes. An OK is better
meal than a man, but to me as well
as to oxen the lions are becoming more
dangerous as the wilder game grows
scarcer native, from the wagon
which crossed the Cuando just after
mine, was going down for water in
the evening, when a lion sprang on
him and split the petroleum can with
his claw. The boy had the sense to
beat his cup hard against the tin.
and the monarch of the forest was so
disguised at the noise that he with
drew; but few boys are so quick, and
many are killed, especially in the
mountain zone about 100 miles from
the coast.

Cabinet Minister Declares Era of Blood

1AhbA ne
ST. PETERSBURG, J1ly 22.-General
Won Schwanebach, Controller of the
Empire and one of the members of the
Ministry who remain in office, tonight
gave the press the Governments ex-
PLANTATION OF the motive necessitating
the dissolution of Parliament En-
phatically he tried to impress the idea
that the dissolution did not mean a re-
turn TO the old regime and that the
Emperor had not abandoned his pur-
pose to introduce a representative Gov
eminent.
You can tell the American people,"
said Won Schwanebach, that this &C
ton was forced upon us as the only
way of extricating ourselves and the
country from the horrible reign of
blod and terrorism which prevails. The
dissolution of the present Parliament
does not mean a return to irresponsible
absolutism. The past is dead forever.
From his Majesty's own lips l can
assure you that he still believes in the
principle Of popular representation and
warmly intends to adhere to it; but he
became convinced that the Parliament
was elected under abnormal conditions
and did not represent the true senti-
ment Of the country and it was neces-
sary to make an appeal to the nation
Parliament wrote its own death SEN
tenee by demonstrating that 1t neither
was nor desired to be a legislative
body, but simply a revolutionary
tribunal. Ten days ago his Majesty
was prepared to accept a Parliamentary
Ministry, but the Constitutional Demo
Gratis, by their mad insistence upon i'm
possible conditions, deliberately re-
jected the opportunity. Thereupon the
Emperor became convinced that disso-
luton was imperative.
I am convinced the army is loyal
The dissensions which occurred among
our troops have not Slapped their
fidelity as a whole, and when they are
engaged against revolutionaries who do
not hesitate to resort to the Throwing
of bombs, they will do their dtuy."

HILL MAY ESTABLISH
new town In NORTH
Magnate Believed to Be Planning
Shipping Point for Grain
Opposite Astoria.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

TACOMA. July 22-The activity OF
Northern Pacific surveyors who are
running a line from Kelso west to the
mouth of the Columbia River, and who
are being closely followed by right-of-
way agents securing necessary deeds,
has aroused much speculation in rail-
road circles. Opinion is gaining ground
that J.. ]. Hill intends to carry wheat
from Eastern Washington to a point OPP
posite Astoria and there load the grain
on ships He would then be able to
load his cars thus emptied with
shingles and lumber from Southwestern
washington points for the East. There
is said to be no reason why Hill should
unload his wheat tonnage In Portland
or even at Sound ports when he can
quite as easily carry ii down to the
mouth of the river on a water grade at
slight cost for operation OF trains.

Lamentable Ignorance.

1t was visiting day at the kinder
garten, and the young teacher was
proud of her little pupils as they went
through their drills and exercises, and
beamed with pleasure at the apprecia-
ton shown by the visitors. who APP
plauded generously. Then came the
lesson, and the teacher announced the
subject.
"Children," she said, today we are
going to learn about the cat, and
want you to tell me what you know
about it. Tommy, how many legs has
a cat?"
-Four" replied Tony, proudly con-
scious of rectitude.
Yes, and, Daisy, what else has the
cat?"
CLAWS an tall murmured Daisy,
shyly.
Various other portions of feline anat-
omy were ascertained. and finally the
instructor turned to one of the latest
acquisitions of the kindergarten and
said sweetly:
Now, Mary, can you tell me whether
the cat has fur or feathers?
With scorn and contempt, mingled
with a vast surprise, Mary said:
Gee, teacher, amt you never Sseen
cat?"
And the lesson came to an abrupt
end.--Buffalo Evening News.

CONFIRMATION IN FRANCE.
Opinion Is UnaRImOus in Condemnation
of the Cars Course.

PARIS, July 22.-The dissolution of
the Russian Parliament attracted wide
spread comment in this city. Sentiment
in all quarters including governmental
circles, is unanimous concerning the
unwisdom of the precipitation of En-
peror Nicholas and the gravity of the
situation resulting therefrom. The
Temps expresses this view when it
says:
The Emperor's counselors have
committed fault which probably is
irreparable. The dissolution Of Parlia-
ment and the postponement of its meet
ing until March 10, 1907, mean that
Parliament guarantees have been COM
pletely suspended for seven months.
The Government dismissed the Assem-
bly, without attempting anything ia the
nature Of a loyal collaboration, prob
ably hoping that time would change the
current Of events before the next ses-
sion"

APPEALS TO BLACK HUNDREDS.
Emperor Nicholas Issues Manifesto In
citing MuJIks 10 Civil War.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 22.-An i'm
perial manifesto issued tonight is re-
garoed as both threat and an appeal
10 the Emperor's millions Of mujiks to
join in suppressing the revolution. IN
der promise Of land it summons the
faithful sons Of holy Russia" Many
Liberals consider this a direct incite-
ment Of the Black Hundreds The day
passed with comparative quiet in the
capital, and street rioting was begun
only with the advent Of darkness. the
collisions being generally on a small
scale.
At Sedovia crowds with stones had
the gendarmes and police on the run,
when q squad Of Cossacks came to the
rescue and dispersed the mob with
their whips
Near midnight there were rumors of
heavier fighting at the Narva gate,
where the massacre of the followers of
Father GapOn took place eight months
ago today. The troops fired several
volleys and il is reported there were a
number Of casualties.
Stories were industriously spread
that the Emperor's final decision to
dissolve Parliament was not taken un-
til he had communicated with Berlin.
According to one report, a member Of
the German Embassy went to the tele-
graph Office last night and engaged a
wire for direct communication with
Emperor William. and only after he
had transmitted a 1OOO-word dispatch
from Emperor william to Emperor
Nicholas and received a reply was the
Ukase finally signed The inference
intended TO be drawn is that Emperor
William is Emperor Nicholas evil gen
Jus and false adviser
The trouble with this story is that
tho sovereigns would not be forced to
resort to such roundabout methods of
communication. as direct wires are
available at Peterhof.
Collisions took place late tonight in
Nicholevsky and Pushkin streets At
the Seminovsky barracks a crowd gath
cred and broke the windows with a
shower Of stones, whereupOn a detach-
ment Of cavalry charged and dispersed
the crowd with swords. A number of
persons were wounded.
There were no demonstrations at the
Tauride Palace. which was in possess
sion Of the military. No one was al
lowed to enter the building. Upon a
column in front of the palace the
ukase dissolving Parliament was post
ed during the day. 1t is said that a
search Of the building was made, in
the belief that II was mined and ready
TO be blown UP at / o'clock on. Monday
morning.
Late tonight IT was asserted def
nitely that il is the plan Of members of
Parliament TO assemble at Viborg. They
have drawn up proclamation TO the
people saying that If the authorities
prevent them assembling there IL is
their intention 10 take a steamship and
20 out into the Gulf Of Finland, and, If
pursued by warships, to go TO Sweden.
