Takes Place in Douma Because OF
His Lecture in New York on
Russian Situation.
CREATED MUCH ILL FEELING.
May be Formally Censured for Lack of
Parlotism--Liberal Journalists
May Visit America.

st. Petersburg. Feb. S.--The demon
stration which took place in the douma
yesterday against Prof. Paul Milukoff,
leader of the Constitution-Democ
arising from the III feeling created mere
by his recent lecture in New York on
the political situation in Russia en-
crosses the attention of the entire press
of this city, which today united In de-
ploring an incident which tends to fan
partisan enmity and endanger the
chances of the douma's success. Tn
occurrences of yesterday probably viii
be followed up by a formal resolution
censuring Prof. Milukofl for lack II
patriotism and unparllamentary con-
duct in in visiting a foreign country
to stir up a sentiment of hostility while
occupying "A responsible position in par
lament. The participation of Octobersts
in the demonstration of yesterday, m
der the leadership of Alexander j.
Guchkoff, is regarded here as showing
that the feeling against Prof. Milukoff
is not confined to re-Ictionary fanatics
like Vladimir NJ. Purishkevich but that
it is shared by the members of the
Constitutional party which up to The
present time has maintained amicable
relations with the leader of the Con-
stituticnal Democrats. In some quar-
tiers Prof. Nlilukoff is advised TO resign
and seek vindication at the hands of
mis- constituents but this he has de-
clined to do and he has announced his
intention OF insisting that the report
of the commission on national defense
at which strategic questions will ne
discussed, be read at a closed session
of the douma.
Upon American initiative party of
Russian Liberal Journalists is being or
ganized to visit the United States to
continue the movement begun by Prof.
Milukcff. The oppositional press OF -.
Petersburg, MOSCOW, Siev and Odessa
has been invited to send delegates, but
the conservative newspapers have not
been asked to participate.

He viii Return on the Campania
Instead Of Proceeding to
The Continent.
MUCH DlSlNcLINED TO TALK.
Refused to Discuss His Fiuancial AZ
fairs-Fnce Bears Tarccs of
Worry.

Liverpool, Feb. SC. w. Morse Of
New York will leave here this after
noon for New York on the steamer
Etruria.
The complete change in Mr. Morse's
plans was caused by the receipt of a
cablegram from New York. Mr. Morse
arrived here this morning on the Cam
pania. The message changing his plan
was received at Queenstown or by wire
less between Queenstown and Liver
pool and when he landed here today
he informed correspondent of the
Associated Press that he was going TO
return this afternoon instead of pro-
ceeding to the continent.
Mr.. Morse fingered in his cabin on
board the Campania and was tho last
of the saloon passengers to step ashore.
His face bore distinct traces of worry
when he finally appeared at the gang
way down which he hurried. 1t was
evident that he was anxious to escape
interviewers and he FASTENED in the
direction of the baggage room.
1nterrogated regarding his future
movements Mr.. Morse showed a de-
cided disinclination TO talk of his af-
fairs or plans. He did say, however,
that he had received n cablegram from
New York which had decided him to
return home Immediately on board the
Etruria. 1t had been his intention
10 proceed to the continent to look af-
ter certain business matters which
demanded his attention, but the ur-
gency of the cable had caused the re-
versal of his plans.
Mr., Morse declined to discuss in any
way the status of his financial affairs
or his prospects of getting out of his
reported difficulties.

GOVERNMENT INTERPRETERS.
Root Urges That Term of Chinese and
Japanese Students he Reduced.

Washington. Feb. S-Secy. Root has
urged Congress to reduce to five years
the term of service of the young men
engaged as student Interpreters IN
China and Japan Some years ago
Congress was impeled to create this
corps I'm order to secure bright young
men with knowledge OF Chinese and
Japanese who would he avail
able for diplomatic or consular SER
vice in the Orient. Therefore II under
took to pay them n salary of $1,000 per
annum, allowing them for two years to
devote their entire time TO the acquisi-
ton OF the Oriental languages. Now.
however, the students are put TO work
at once IN the embassies or legations
and are not objects of charity.
Secy. Root in his communication to
Congress on this subject says
'Thls solemn obligation 10 remain in
the government service for 10 years, pos
sibly at a salary OF only $1,000 per am
mum, is very erroneous and serious
one for a young man 10 assume. There
rs no doubt that It discourages and
turns away many OF the most promis-
ing, who would enter the service and
IN consequence makes II very difficult
for the department to iii these posi-
lions with young men of the best ma
teria for future efficient Offices"

FAST FREIGHT SCHEME
Burlington and Rio Grande to Operate
Daily Car from Chicago.

Utah merchants and shippers now
have the advantage of getting freight
from Chicago to this city in less than
six days, through an arrangement eff
fected by the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Burlington route The Bur-
lington win bring a through car from
Chicago 20 Denver In 6S hours, and the
Rio Grande will bring it from Denver
to salt Lake in AS hours. The ar
rangement became effective today and
this evening will see the first car of
this kind leaving Chicago.
The great thing about the scheme
is that the car will be used for small
less than-car-load-lot and 1t will run
daily. Each evening a car filled with
small consignments will start for Salt
Lake. In this way n merchant of this
or any Utah city can wire to any sup
ply center in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio or
other territory tributary to Chicago,
and by evening his order will be on
its way towards Salt Lake.
The through car is TO be marked III
such shape as to let everyone along
the run know what it is, so there will
be 70 delays or lost shipments" The
car VIII be sealed IN Chicago and not
broken until 1t reaches the local yards
Of the Rio Grande. The scheme is the
first of it's kind taken to aid the small
shipper or the large shipper anxious to
get small consignments here quickly.
In the railroads are noticing pre-
dominance of small orders and TO han
die these without loss of time is what
the two big roads mentioned We're de-
sirous of accomplishing,
The first car will leave tonight we'll
packed, as local merchants when told
of the arrangement placed long list
Of orders.

was moving 30 miles an hour when
II was derailsd. The engine did not
leave the rails, but all five passenger
cars behind the baggage car jumped
the track, and when the train was
stopped, several of them We're resting
against the guard rail after having
scraped along against 1t for num-
Der of feet. The frightened passen-
gers rushed from the day coach and

the first year of such cooperation In

case of Nevada. In the Sagebrush state
II has proven very satisfactory. In
Utah it does not seem likely that any
such campaign will be necessary during
the coming season, as the herds In this
state appear to be in satisfactory

JURY FIND U. S.
ATTY. HALL GUILTY.

Portland, Ore. Feb 'S--Former
United States Dist.-Atty. John II.
Hall, indicted for conspiracy with the
ButteCreel Land; Livestock & I,lrn-
ter company to maintain an Illegal
fence which enclosed 10000 acres Of
public land in Wheeler county, was
today found guilty. The trial las
been in progress since Jan. IS, and
has been bitterly fought on both
sides.
Three hours and 10 minutes after
receiving the Instructions of Judge
Hunt last night, the jury arrived at
a decision and at 1890 o'clock thus
morning a sealed verdict was return-
ed.
The offense Is punishable by fine

ment not exceeding two years. Sem
tence has been suspended for the pres
ent and Judge Lionel Il. Webster has
taken 60 days In which to file notice
of appeal and was granted until May
] in which TO prepare bin of eNcep-
lions.
Francis j. Heney, who conducted the
prosecution for the government. was
well satisfied with the verdict. The
prosecution admits that had 1t con-
IneQ 1lS evidence TO han connection
with the Illegal fencing of the Butte
Creek company II could not have con-
victed the defendant. II was only by
bringing In outside cases which tended
to prove that Hall had been ready TO
protect political friends involved in
land deals that the government sue
ceeded In triumphlng. Hall, too shared
this opinion. The defendant declares
that he cannot understand how such
a verdict could be arrived at except
that 1t was based on evil
dence wholly outside the case
charged and which Hail. having no pre-
vlous notice Of had no opportunity to
meet. Hall emphatically declares in
statement to the press, that there
was no evidence against him OF the
| conspiracy charged in the Indictment
and that II was on outside evidence
