went into camp for the might he stole
away, mounted a horse, rode back to

LIBERALS MORE CHEERFUL
Possibility That Oppositional Majority
Will Control Third Douna.

st. Petersburg, June 17.-The

ing. The question is now under dis.
cussion at a secret conference of the
central committee Of the social demo.
Gratis, which is being held in Finland,
but strong current Of opposition is
known to prevail, not only on the part
OF the moderate leaders, but also
among the adherents of the radical
members. A faction of the moderates
urge that the government is now so
strongly entrenched that a strike
would be futile and only weaken the
prestige of the party and involve the
rank and file and the industrial pro-
letariate generally in series Of re
prisals.
The social revolutionists at a con-
ference held last night declared
against the proposed strike and ap-
pointed committee to draft an ad-
dress to the peasantry, the army and
navy and the workmen.
kilograms from practically every
city in the empire announce that the
news Of the dissolution of parliament
was re6eived quietly and with almost
an entire. absence of demonstration.
Even at Odessa and Kiey no disturb
ances occurred. The prefect Of Kiev
issued orders that no demonstrations
on the part of reactionists or revolu-
tionists were to be allowed and that
no action On the dissolution Of parlia-
ment be permitted.
The course of Gen. Drachieffsk, pre-
feet Of police of st. Petersburg, in
prohibiting hostile criticism of the gov
ernment, was followed most universal
ly by the governors general through
out Russia, completely muzzling the
liberal press.
The newspapers appearing here to-
day made extremely good comments
upon the situation, the radical papers
contenting themselves with express
ing the hope that the two election
campaigns in one year will widen the
political horizon Of the people and
make them firm adherents Of the idea
of parliamentarism.
The Novoe Vreyma, which has
aligned itself with the reactionists, at
tacks the new election law as a half
way measure, affording the possibility
that the revolutionary elements will
again be able to enter parliament.
The close study Of the new election
law, which is bulky book of 80 pages
Of complicated phraseology, has some
what dispelled the feeling Of gloom in
liberal circles. The idea is gaining
ground that the government has failed
in its intention and that there is a
possibility that there will be an op-
positional majority in the third par
lament, as in the case of its predeces-
sors. Under the law it is thought
that the constitutional democrats will
retain control or perhaps they will be
swamped by the social democratic pro-
letarian election in the socialist and
poorer catagories of urban voters.
The constitutional democrats hope
to return a considerable number whom

TRUE CAUSE TN DOUBT.
EXPLOSION ON KASHIMA.
Disaster on japanese Warship Again
Raises Old Question Here.
rFronn The Tribune Bureau. I

washington, Sept 19.-Authoritative informa-
ton concerning the explosion on the japanese
naval vessel Kashima, which occurred on Sep
tember 16 reached the Navy Department to-
day. and proved the occasion for considerable
exnert speculation as to the actual cause Of
the accident.
It appears that the gun crew I'm the starboard
turret had placed the projectiie and powder
charge in one of the 10-inch guns and before
the breechblock could be closed the charge ex-
ploded The projectile remained in the gun.
and the force of the explosion was eXerted in
the turret killing thirty-four officers and men
and seriously wounding eight. As every man
in the turret was killed or severely wounded.
such details as have been obtained could be
secured onlv from a man who had left the turret
a moment before the accident.
The Japanese experts attribute the premature
explosion to a bareback. This could have oc-
CURED, of course. only by the passage or the
burning gases through the rifle grooves anu
around the projectile. which, presumably was
by virtue Of its brass collar. seated securely
against the rifing before the powder was IN
serted in the breeCh. Naval experts say that
such ignition of the powder is possible but un-
likely and there are some who again propouno
the old question, never answered to their salts
faction Is it not possible that the breech or
10-iuCh or lZ-fnch gun may DeCoIhe So 0'O-
heated after few shots as to ignite charge
of suokeless powder by mere contact?
As in the recent case of the Georgia. 1t seems
probable that the true cause OF this accident
will never be definitely fixed. but the repen-
ton of such accidents cause suspicion OF the
dependabiity of modern smokeless powder.
The official account OF the explosion caoed
by the japanese Navy Department follows:
On the 10th instant during target practice on
board H VI. S. Kashima, explosion or chalge
occurred in the turret OF the starboard eIler
1O-inch gun. The cause of the explosion Is h%0I %
