pUMA AGAINST MARTIAL LAW
Premier stOIypin Says Action Was
Taken Under Reign of
Terror.


ST. PETERSBURG, March 26-At the
close of today's debate the lower house OF
Parliament this afternoon adopted the pre-
liminary constitutional resolution providing
for the abolition of drumhead courts
martial and instructing the committee 10
draw up and present a bill to this effect
with as little delay as possible. The vote
was almost unanimous, only twenty-five
extreme reactionists voting in the mega
tive. After the vote had been taken Premier
Stolypin, who had just had an hour and a
half conference with Emperor Nicholas,
announced the governments position, stat
ing that so long as ''the bloody miasma OF
terrorism overshadowed the land" It did
not feel justified in Withdrawing entirely
such unfortunate repressive measures. but
that orders had been given that drumhead
courts-martial be hereafter employed only
in cases of extreme and vital necessity.
The government expected the lower house
TO do its part in bringing about the tran
utilization of the country, which would
enable the ministers to dispense entirely
with such a procedure The members OF
the house gave the premier courteous
and attentive hearing. During the debate
members OF the secret police arrested q
man in the members lobby on suspicion
that he was connected with an attempt
upon the life OF the premier. but the pris-
oner was identified as a newspaper car

gram .)-Benjamin NJ Ausherman, recently

give up this practice II he took up the
duties OF district attorney, but this Mr..
Ausherman would not consent to Do, with
the result that some one else will be given
the position. There was a long fight over
this ofhce before Ausheman was named.
Senator Warren consented to the naming Of
Ausherman only after the president had
refused to give another term to Timothy F.
Burke, who is still holding the office. The
Interior department violently opposed
Burke, charging he had neglected prosecu-
tions and Investigations in connection with
public lands. Senator Warren denounced
these charges as false, but was not able
to get the president to stand by his man.

DEADLOCK ON WAGE SCALE
Trainmen and General Managers
Have FruitIess Conference
in chicago.

CHICAGO March 2s.--No progress was
made today toward reaching a settlement
Of the controversy between the western
railroads and their employees who voted
TO strike unless certain demands were com
piled with by the general managers. A
committee representing the men met the
general managers today and submitted the
result OF the vote.
While nothing official was given out Il
was stated by those in authority that no
definite basis for a settlement was reached
at the meeting. Another conference has
been arranged for tomorrow.
While both opposing interests on the
surface appear to be determined not to
concede anything, It is the general belief
that the trouble will be settled without a
strike.
For several weeks the men belonging TO
the two organizations have been voting
on the question OF striking II their de-
mands are not granted, and, although the
vote was not announced today prior to the
commencement OF the conference, II is un-
derstood to be overwhelmingly in favor of
a strike II that step should become neces-
sary.
The general managers informed the mon
that they are prepared to grant a 10 per
cent increase, but say they cannot grant
nine-hour day. Before the conference
| commenced today both sides expressed a
rosy view OF what would appear to an
outsider as a blue situation. The men in
sisted that there would be no strike, be-
cause the general managers would concede
their demands. The general managers said
there would be no strike, because the men
! would abate their demands and accept the
OFFER Of the railroads. Both sides expressed
determination not to give way in any par
| ticular. It is expected the conference will
last for several days and definite out
come is not looked for until the end Of the
week.

Through the operations Of an organized
gang OF high graders" whose headquar-
ters and chief looters, It is claimed. are In
Omaha, $4,000 worth Of ore has been stolen
within the last two months from the two
largest mines in the Cripple Creek district.
The stolen gold is believed TO be secreted
both in Omaha and Denver. This city is
swarming with detectives OF the Mine own
ers association. who are making a deter
mined effort TO recover the missing prop
erty and prosecute those guilty.
The mines which are the heaviest losers
are the Work and c. K & n. The former
lost $4,000 during the last week. Detectives
claim a former employe OF the Work con-
fessed taking ore. selling II for $1,000 and
that he furnished the names OF confederates
who Jared better in their thefts.
High graders" no longer dispose OF ore
in Cripple Creek, but ship TO Denver and
Omaha, in the latter city, according 20
the mine owners, the leaders OF the gang
dispose OF It on commission.

mary election to choose delegates 10 the
