_ The Be VOLUME 4. NUMBER 5 MINNESOTA TEN.CENTS PER WEEK TERROR OF BOMBS CANNOT STOP CZAR WILL OPEN PARLIMENT Though in Terror Will Leave Shelter of Palace May 10. Emperor’s Decision Creates Considerable Surprise in Russia. x Adviee of Premier Witte and Others Said to Be Responsible. —_— Bt. retersburg, April 25.—After much hesitation Eniperor Nicholas has finally decided to come to St. Peters- burg to greet thé representatives of the people and pérsonally open the first Russian parliament May 10, His decision comes as a surprise, as it was supposed that after his long absence from the capital he would not dare to leave the- shelter of the palace of Tsarskoe-Selo. But Premier Witte and other advisers urged that it would be a great blunder to miss such an opportunity. A most elaborate programme for the openiug of parliament has been pre: pared. The ceremony will be attended by -the pomp and circumstance befit- ting the event. Imperial heralds will pass through the streets summoning the' representatives of the people and an imposing military escort will ac- company the emperor to the Tauride palace, where parliament will assem- ble. 1t Is rumored that the emperor in greeting parliament will anpounce eeneral amnesty for political prison- ers and the abolition of martial law. Emperor Retains Full Control. The final dratt of the “fundamental law” was published during the day. It consists of seventy articlesjnd consti- tutes Ru s so-called “constitution.” The main point gained by the people in their fight against the crown is the incorporation in the “fundamental law™ of the provisions of the imperial manifesto of Oct. 20, creating a parlia- went and thus making it lnpossible for the emperor hereatter without usurpation to withdraw what he has grauted, Otherwise the modifications of the “fundamental law” are entirely in the divection of supporting the em- Deror’s presént powers against the as. saults of parliament. He not only re- tains absolute control of the army and navy and foreign relations, with the Power to declare peace or war, but he keeps in his hands the vital prerog- ative of declaring cities, districts and provinces under martial law or “in a state of reinforced security.” Inas- much as any exceptional state of se- curity involves thé suspension of eivil rights and as normal conditions have not existed in Russia for years, St. Petersburg having been “in a state of reinforced security” since 1882, the personal guarantees granted can be wiped cut by a stroke.of the emperor’s pen. OLYMPIC CONTESTS IN GREECE. New Yorker Wins First Heat of Swim- ming Race. Athens, April 25.—Phalerum was during the day thé scene of the prin- cipal early events of the Olympic con- test, consisting of boat racing and swimming.

GOLL. | Goverament Closes Case Against Mil- 1 waukee Banker. Milwaukee, April 25.—The govern- ment finished its side of the Henry G. | Goll case just before the noon recess was taken. Bookkeepers for several corresponding hanks were called to testify to the effect that no correspond- ing accounts appeared on tlhicir hooks on the days when their accounts were charged here on the books of the First National bank with large amounts.

DISPUTE AS TO Greeley Says Only 300 Are Dead. oy San Francisco, April 25.—Coroner William Walsh estimates that the to- tal number of dead will not be less than 1,000. His reports are complete and his estimate is made up from all the data he has been able to collect. Coroner Walsh said: “Bodies the deputy coroners have found. and buried number 300, as fol- lows: . “At Polk and Bay streets, 32; at Portsmouthisquare, 23; at Washington square, 12; at;the Six-Mile House, 200; at Laurel hill;: 23; scattered in differ- ent parts of the city, 10. No thorough search has been made of the district south of Market stréet or the Chinese quarter. Many Qives must have been lost in these sections. South of Mar- Ket street are the cheap lodginghouses and many of these collapsed from the earthquake. There is little chance that half. of the inmates of the col- lapsed huildings had opportunity to escape. - This is also true of China- town. “Shortly after the earthquake sol- diers and police, so I have been told, buried hodies found along the water front. I have received no official re- port of these. The total number of dead will undoubtedly reach, if it does g\qt exceed, 1,000.” MANY BURIED BY. SOLDIERS. Exact Number of Dead May Never Be Known, San Francisco, April 26.—The cor- oner’s office will be reorganized at once and a morgue will be opened in a vacant store in Hayes Valley. Up to the present time bodies have beem bur- ied by the soldiers and the naval mill- tia In open squares near where found. For that reason\it Is feared that the exact number of dead will never be accurately known.' Coroner Walsh re- ports that his dejuties have cared for 350 bodies taken fMrom the ruins, but this’ number does not include those buried by the police and by the naval militia. From now on all | burials will be made in the cemeter! and the usual reports will be made to the coronmer and an opportunity gfven for identifi- The hodies which were buried in Portsmouth and Washington squares and near Bay and Polk streets will be exhumed and an attempt to identify them before reburial in the cemetery.

Not a Trewor Felt on Island in San Francisco Bay. San Francisco, April 25.—There is one place within pistol shot of ruined San Franciseo that the earthquake did not touch, that did not lose a chimney or feel a tremor—Alcatraz island. De- spite the fact that the island is cov- ered with brick buildings, brick forts and brick chimneys:not a brick was loosened, not a crack’ made nor a quiver felt. When the scientist comes to write he will have his hands full explaining why Alcatraz did not have any physical knowledge of the event. The scene from the island was awe in- spiring. The crash of a falling city filled the ears of the aroused island, but no one understood what it was all about. There was no earthquake that she knew about, yel the city a few hundred yards across the bay was crashing to ruin. Clark’s Home Partly Demolished. San Jose, Cal, April 25.—The home of W. A, Clark at Burlingame was par- tially demolished by’ the earthquake. No one was injured. . Many othey resi- deuces suffered to i gréater or less degree. At San Mateo all brick build- ings are dovn.

Reports of Clashes Betwsen Police and Guardsmen, San Franciseo, April 25.—Chief of Police Dinan said during the day that reports of clashes between police and nmational guardsmen were greatly ex- aggerated. The officers of the depart- ment are taking their regular detaiis from the captains of their respective companies and are doing patrol duty in connection with the regulars. It is believed that before the close of the day every militlaman will be with- drawn from duty on the city streets. “As far as the police department is concerned,” sald Chief Dinan, “we have endeavored to co-operate with the regulars in patrolling the “streets and preserving order. We¢ have had Zems’ patrols, but there have been nu- merous complaints of the overzealous- ness of the guardsmen by citizens and for that reason we have deemed it advisable to request the withdrawal of all bodies of troops not acting under the direct command of General Fun- ston.** CHINATOWN GONE FOREVER. Celestials Will Be Concentrated at New Points. San Franclsco, April 25.—The big fire- has obliterated Chinatown from . San Francisco forever.

GOMEZ TO RECEIVE M. TAIGNY, Venezuelan Plan of Satisfying 'De. mands of France. New York, April 25.—A cable" dis? patch to the Herald from Willemstad| Curacao, says: 5 i Former President Castro has had a slight stroke of paralysis, but has now) recovered. President Gomez says that there will be no change in the policy or conduct of the government. It is reported that the French pun- ishment will take this form: M. Taigny, escorted by a fleet, will be re- ceived as representative of France with full honors. M. Taigny will then be withdrawn and relations be re-es- tablished. It is believed that President Castro, in order to avoid receiving M. Taigny, made General Gomez acting president, It is*doubted that this will satisfy the French. INTERMENT AT ANNAPOLIS.

Three Men Shot to Death op Byrning Roof of Hotel, Salt Lake City, April 25.—That three men were shot to death on a blazing roof in San Francisco to keep them from being buraed alive is _solemnly asserted by Max Fast, a garment worker, who has arrived here, “When the fire caught the Windsor hotel at Fitth and Market,” said Mr. Fast, “there were three men on the roof and it was impossible to get them down. Rather than see the men fall in with the roof and be roasted alive the military officer directed Lis men to shoot them,. which ‘they did in the presence of ‘5,000 people. I saw great Stones fall on three men near the city hall, crushing the life out of them. In Union square I stood beside a woman who died actually from fright and thirst. Her last request was for water| and we had none to give her. At Jef- ferson square 1 saw a fatal clash be- tween the military and the police: A policeman ordered a soldier to take up adead body to putit in the wagon and the soldier ordered the policeman to do it. Words followed and the soldier shot the policeman dead.” ON PLANS FOR RELIEF. Working Angeles’ provided with cooking ar- | || July, eral O'Reilly as to the need in. San Francisco for doctors or female nurses, and it was learned ‘that no more were needed and that all neces- sary medical supplies were available at San Francisco for all contingencies for about three months. > ‘ “There is’'a need, however, in the at- flicted city for clothing: and, shelter and warmth, and the;Red Cross is looking to these ends. Arrangements have heen made with army contractors who supply blankets to send many thaousands. to -San - Francisco of the ame: quality ‘as those furnished for the United States army, which it was agreed to do at low government con- tract. Quartermaster General Humphrey was advised-- by telegraph from his agent in San Francisco that 4,000 stoves with piping were being un- loaded and that the tentage was com- ing in by boat and rail at a rate that ‘would possibly result in soon affording brotection for all of the earthquake and five sufferers. {PAID MONEY TO COUNCILMAN.
