New York, November 16.--Though
generally looked upon in the light OF
an "off year. in politics, the recent
elections have possessed more Iar-
reaching Importance as bearing upon
the future than has appeared on the
surface. In the first place, the out
come Of the voting in New York Caty
has demonstrated beyond shadow
OF doubt that Charles f. Murphy
Is In complete control OF the demo-
cratic forces, and that in all probable
ity he will be able to control, not only
the delegates to the next state con-
vention, but also those to the national
convention. The results have ike
wise demonstrated that Hearst mas
been entirely eliminated as factor in
State and National politics. III has
been patent 10 the leader OF Tam
many Hall and his followers that the
organization was doomed to COM
pletely lose its grip o nthe political
situation, In this state and the coun-
try at large IL the Hearst party were
allowed to go on as 1t had been,
and therefore all their efforts were
bent to the overthrow of this formid-
able foe. Realizing that In the
event of success the Independence
League would supplant the regular
Democracy in its position son second
place on the official ballot, the man
ayers OF the Wigwam left no stone
unturned to forestall any such possi-
bility and instead of his party becom-
ing the real Democratic party in the
Empire tSate. Mr.. Hearst has now
been relegated to position where
he no longer will be reckoned with
as a prime factor in New York
politics. This victory has indeed
been big one for Murphy. and Its
effect upon the future destinies o
the old time Democratic party in thu
state and nation will be watched will

The defeat OF Congressman Bur-

Sublime faith in the fame of a
pioneer of Fort Worth. Texas. was
shown in a recent wager made by
his Chicago friends who trustingly
dropped into Uncle Sam s charge a
letter addressed
TOM CASEY. Texas.
The wager was that the letter
| would go through to Casey with
out delay although no city was
given. Just "Texas.' a State
boasting no less than 2Gj.7SO
square miles-fve times the area
of Illinois. ''The postal authorities
will refuse to forward that wag-
cred man from New York.
".Nope, they will carry that letter
as far toward destination as pos
slDle. and just as soon as II
reaches the Texas border the
mail clerks will know Casey'' was
the rejonder. The letter informed
MIR. Casey what the issue was. and
instructed him to return the en-
velope by next mail n he received
the letter. lie was heard from
promptly and the postmarks show
ed that the letter had gone to hin
at Fort Worth without an hours
delay. His friends say that II

DISASTROUS EXPLOSION.
THREE MEN ARE KILLED
Train Goes Through Bridge and Houses Are
 Destroyed.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 16.--Three men killed outright, three others fla tally and two others badly injured, the crashing of Southern railway freight engine and eleven cars through a bridge into Chattanooga creek, and the de- struction of three residences and a pile driver near by were the results of a premature explosion to-day of blast at the foot of Lookout Mountain on the Stevenson extension.
 The bridge was crushed by tons of rock just as a Southern railway freight train was going on the bridge. Other pieces of rock, hurled more than 400 yards, crashed through the pilot of a pile-driver of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad, killing Clinton Shafer and William Hyder and damaging residences on Lookout Noun tain. Four Greeks, who were working on the new line some distance from the blast, were struck by flying rock. Two of them were fatally hurt and George McMahon, an engineer, proba- bly, will die.
 J. Fitzgerald, negro fireman on the Southern railway, was the other man killed.

PLOT AGAINST CAR. VERY NARROW ESCAPE. Preparations Under Way as Far Back as Last
 February.

St. Petersburg, May 16-Further de- tails of the plot at Tsarskey- -selo against the life His Majesty the Emperor, which came to light yester- day, were obtained to-day and indi- cate that the Emperor's escape during Passion week was very narrw.
 The plot was deep laid, and the con- splrators were members of the Emper- or's personal escort The arrest of one man, a Cossack servant has made It possible to trace the conspiracy back four months, and shows that prepara- tions were being made on the second ot February, when the secret police is- sued orders to use every effort to iden- 4tiiy the purchaser of a uniform of his majesty's own Cossack escort, which had been found during a raid. The use of the regulation uniform Is a favorite device Of the terrorlsts, the Cossack garb is an open sesame to the precincts of the palaces at Tsarkoye-Selo ana Peterhof.
 After these who were suspected had made confession yesterday the news went the rounds among the members of the Imperial guard. The Cossack, sergeant, who was gatekeeper at one of the entrances to the palaces, became frightened at possible discovery and he voluntarily confessed, He betrayed plan according to which he was to let into the palace anumber of conspira- tors dressed in the Cossack uniform
 A brother of Premier Stolypin con firms the report that numerous ar rests already have been made He de- clares that the existence of the plot was knowa from the beginning, and that it was ferreted out until the en- tire plan was uncovered. Witnesses were secured, and the arrests were finally made by order of the district at torney who will prosecute the case in open court.
 The lower house of parliament is talk ing the keenest interest in the story, and it is reported that the leaders of the constitutional democrats only await official confirmation to introduce motion to the house expressing joy at the preservation of the Emperors life,

PLEADS GUILTY
 TO RELATING St. Paul Railroad Company at Once Pays Fine of
 $2O, ,OOO.
BUT TWO INDICTMENTS
Thirteen Others Dismissed Through Misunderstood ing With Court.

New York, May 16.-The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway com pany, through its general counsel, Charles B. Keeler, of Chicago, pleaded guilty before Judge Holt in the United States circuit court to-day on two in dlctments recently returned against the road for the granting of rebates in violation of the Elkins anti-rebating law. The court assessed a fine of $1O,- GOO on each count pleaded to, or $20, 900 in all, which Attorney Keeler paid at once.
 The grand jury returned fifteen in dictments against the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul, charging the grant, ing of rebates on coffee shipments in favor of the Woolson Spice company an Ohio corporation, on western ship ments from New York to Toledo Aft CT a consultation with United States Attorney Stimson and his assistants, who have been prosecuting the rebate eases, MT Keeler arranged to plead guilty to two of the indictments, with the understanding that the remaining counts be dismissed.
 AAA q VI 4CA bO LAC NOuI AllOIISy Keeler attempted to excuse his road, and pleaded in extenuation that it had not endeavored or wished to evade the law, but that, owing to the spirited competition of other roads, minor traf- tic agents of the company had consent ed to the granting of rebates in order to meet the sharp competition, but without the knowledge of the compa- ny's chief executive officials and it's at- torneys, all of whom, he said, would have instantly advised to the contrary Attorney Keeler said that the chief off, ficers of his road and it's directors were glad that the existing federal laws would put an end in the future to the granting of rebates and taking from the hands of the western shippers the club which they had held over one iroad as against another, where it came SQ competition on traffic and business.
 Earlier in the day the Western Tran sit company another of the indicted corporations, through counsel, pleaded not guilty to the relating indictment against 1t, but with permission to with draw the plea and substitute demurrers to the indictments.
 It is understood that the Northern Pacific company, the Rock Island and Pacific, the New York, Ontario and Western railroads and the Western Transit company, all named in the re- cently-returned indictments for rebat- ing, and which have already entered pleas of not guilty, will go into court and stand trial on the charges.

SECRECY THEIR AIM.
Russian Delegates Meeting in London
 Taking Every Preeaution.

London, May 16.-Fully aware that their every movement is being watched by members of the Russia secret police the delegates to the Russian social democratic congress now in session here are taking every precaution to in- sure the secrecy of their deliberations In order to avoid the necessity of go- Ing out to lunch, thus giving outsiders a chance to approach them, they have installed buffet in the chapel where they meet and here they sit all day long listening to speech after speech and engaging in debate. They have developed a hatred of having their photographs taken and they try to avoid the camera operators by screen ing their faces with umbrellas, hats or newspapers as they pass to and from the building. One delegate this morn- ing threatened a photographer with physical violence. He demanded the destruction of the camera but went no further than to appeal to an unsympa- thetic policeman for protection.

ORCHARD TALKS.
Has Not Been Promised Immunity
 Ready to Pay Penalty.

Boise, Idaho, May 16.-Harry Or chard, the prisoner witness upon whom the state of Idaho chiefly relies to prove it's charge that an inner circle of the Western Federation of Miners planned the murder of Governor Steu- nenburg, broke hjs silence to-day and for more than half an hour discussed himself and hts imprisonment with representatives of the Associated Press.
 Orchard denied that he had received mistreatment during his long contine- ment; denies that duress or force had been used to secure the statements he had made, and denied that Detective Mcfarland and the officers of the state have promised him immunity for his confessed crime or reward for the val ue of his alleged confession. Orchards s manner and conversation tended strongly to confirm the assertion that he has been reconverted to and is deep in the zeal of Christianity.
 Orchard is perfectly sound in body; clear and quick of brain. If there was ever anything in the reports that he was breaking in health and mind, there is nothing now to give them a shadow of suggestion.
 The one condition imposed on to- days interview by Warden Whitney, of the Idaho penitentiary, was that there must be no discussion of the ease, and the prisoner himself asked that the same condition be observed.
 Governor Gooding tonight supple mented the statement of Orchard on the subject of possible immunity He said:
 At times up to few months ago l feared lest in some of my interviews with Orchard 1 might have inadver- tently given him some hope of immu- nifty. I am now very positive that he had no expectation of any such thing. This was demonstrated to me one day by Orchard himself, when he stopped me in the middle of conversation and warned me that I was treading on dan- gerous ground Orchard satd: Gov ernor, I don't want you to say any thing that might even lead me to hope for immunity. I do not expect any and am ready to pay the penalty"
