ABSENCE Of
/ CONSERVATIVE
LEADERSHIP
Made Indefinite Postponement
of Burning Question
Possible.
TWO NINETEEN
TO ONE FORTY-SI
The Vote Was Overwhelming
Against the Monarchists
and Their Allies.

A.sociated Press Cable to The Eveni.s
Times.
st. Petersburg, May 29.-Advantage
was taken today Of the absence of the
conservative leaders from the lower
house of parliament to bring up the
resolution condemning terrorism and
the house decided by 219 to 146 votes
to table indefinitely the whole discus
sion, which Is one of the most burn
ing questions before parliament. The
constitutional democrats. Poles, men,
bers of the group of toll and Cossacks
voted against the discussion and the
monarchists, OctOberists, social demo-
Gratis and social revolutionists voted
in its favor.
Deprived of their leading orators,
the monarchists made feeble show
ing, and the debate, which was short,
ended without stormy incidents.
The constitutional democrats did
not participate in the debate. M.
Nebovidoff, member of the group of
toll, proposed the resolution tabling
the motion to condemn terrorism, de-
claring that any action ON the part of
the house would be useless as the
censure would be addressed to the
dead, as most of the terrorists named
were already inscribed in the "book
of martyrs" He asked If the govern
ment, with a million bayonets, was
unable to stop terrorism, of what
avail would be simple resolution
adopted by five hundred deputies un-
der the thumb of the administrat tion.,
NJ. Kahustin, Octoberist, said his
party favored the abolition of the
death penalty, martial law, etc., but
thought 1t was first necessary for the
house to express abhorrence of ter
rorism executions of officials without
judge or jury.
Bishop Evlogi, monarchist member
from Lublin, also spoke against ter
rorisn.
Several prominent constitutional
democrats, including NJ. Struve, Prince
Dolgouokoff, and Prof. Kuzmin- Kar-
avaieff refused to vote with their
party.
The effect of the new rules expedit-
ing business was clearly apparent.
Only two speakers on each side are
now permitted to address the house
on any one question. The house,
therefore disposed Of all the fifteen
questions on the order Of the day,
among them being the adoption of an

garding the plot against the life of the
emperor was passed leave their par
ties or abandon the priesthood.

4 Bit Of History.

John Speer, veteran Kansas editor,
died few days ago. He was an Indi-
.anian who went to Kansas many years
ago apparently for the purpose of fight
ing the introduction of slavery there.
He had a stormy career, and in 1866 got
into trouble when the territorial legis-
lature passed law making it peni-
Tertiary offense to deny the legal ex-
istence of slavery in Kansas" The
day the law went into effect Speer de
clared in his paper that slavery does
not legally exist in Kansas" He de-
clared this in type which occupied
nearly a page of his paper, He was
indicted for treason, but when his ar
rest with United States troops was
sought he fed the state and went to
Ohio, where he stumped the state In
the Fremont campaign. Later he re-
turned to Kansas and resumed his fight
against slavery. He had paper at
Lawrence, Kans. and when Quantrell
and his band rode through that town
and left death and destruction in their
wake, his newspaper Office was destroy
ed and two of his sons we're killed.

Bristol, Tenn, Jan. 0,-The anti-sa-
loon league of Bristol has given the
first evidence that it means to make q
fight before the legislature which is
about to convene, with the hope OF
Kidding Bristol of the whiskey traffic
in any form. A resolution was offered
at the meeting of the hoard OF alder
men last night looking to the extension
of the Adams law to Bristol, or, in the
avert OF a failure to accomplish this,

Crawford called in Speer and said
"John, you may have the United States
senatorship, if you want 1t. just sit
down and write us sketch of your life
for the newspapers, and | will fill out
your commission. Speer undertook
to do SO, but not remembering certain
dates he wanted to mention in his
sketch of himself, asked the governor
to withhold the appointment for day
and he would run down to Lawrence
and get the dates he needed. When
he returned next day he found that
through some influence the governor
had changed his mind, and had called
in E. G. Ross, printer and foreman
iu Speers newspaper office, and had
made him United States senator.
Ross was member of the senate
when the impeachment trial Of Presi-
dent Andrew johnson occurred. He
escaped impeachment by QUE vote-and
that vote was cast by Senator Ross, of
Kansas. Had Gov. Crawford not sud
denly changed his mind and had he APP

compromising radical, he would have
cast the vote Ross refused to cast, and
President johnson would have been

nounced by the radical senators and
by the people of Kansas, and when his
term IN the senate ended, retired to OBJ

Our suit agin the old Memphis and
Charleston railrad is still hung up in
the extreme court, but we hope to git a
deciding next year. Twenty-Five year
ago we wus down to Memphis on jag
and got on the train loaded to the
brim. We had a ticket for Graz d
Junction. The conductor come to us
jist about the time we woke up. We
axed him: is this Grand Junction."
and he said: " Tibet" We got off and
found nothing but water tank. Ubet
station was sixteen miles tother side Of
Grand Junction. We wus too full to
walk back, so we had to stay in the
pump house and listen to the dripping
water from that darned tank all night
long. The horrors Of that we will new
er forgit. 1t wus bad enough to take
us by our destination, but to let us off
at water tank wusmore than we could
stand for. --Herdeman Free Press,

The Tennessee legislature organized
Yesterday with E. G. Toilet as speak
or Of the senate and J. T. Cunningham
as speaker of the house. 1t is under
stood that these two gentlemen are en-
tireIy satisfactory to Gov. Patterson
and that they are in sympathy with his
views on state matters. The governor
elect did not take an active part, &C
cordipg to our information, in these
contests for obvious reasons. But
doubtless he let it be known that he
preferred men of his way of thinking.
It is gratifying to know that he will
enter upon the discharge of his duties
with no handicap in the way of hos
tile legislature. If Mr. Cox had been
able to elect his candidates for the
memberships he would have had it in
his power to seriously embarrass the
administration of the new governor.
There is a pretty we'll defined suspicion
that Cox is in the legislature for any
thing but harmony. The results yes
terdav show that Cox is practically
elimin ated, and that this is going to be

next two ars.-Commercial Appeal.
