TROOPS SIDE WITH THE PEASANTS EVEN COSSACKS NOW OBJECT TO BEING USED AS OPPRES- 5 SORS OF THE PEOPLE. 8t. Petersburg, June 15.—Such shrewd judges of the situation as Pro- fessor Milukoff, leader of the Consti- tutional Democrats, are growing more pessimistic daily. The radical _ ele- ments in the lower house of parlia- ment are getting more and more out of hand and events in the interior are marching so rapidly that people almost doubt whetner the surrender of the government to the demand for a responsible ministry would not now come too late. The leaders conse quently are preparing for eventuaii- ties. The authority of parliament is growing constantly in the country and if the extreme elements can be held in check a. little longer the leaders hope that when the crisis comes the government will realize the futility of resistance. On the other hand the agrarian movement, which is now extending in all directions, threatens parliament as well as the government, and it is increasingly manifest that the troops that come from the villages are sid- ing with the peasants from whom they are recruited. Even the Cossacks are beginning to rebel against the odious work of holding the people in sub- Jection. M. Eveschnikoff, a Cossack member of the lower house, claims to have received a thousand letters from Cossack soldiers saying they are tired of playing the role of oppressors to the people. MEMBEAHS MADLY AROUSED. Exciting Scenes in Lower House of Russian Parliament. St. Petersburg, June 16.—The lower house of parliament was rocked and swayed during the afternoon by suc- cessive waves of passion evoked by a series of government communica- tions, including Military Procurator Payloft’s rejection of the appeal of the house for a cessation of the execu- tions in the Baltic provinces and the cool request of the procurator of the district that the house expel M. Ulian- off, who has been indicted, although a member of parliament, in order that he may be arrested pending his trial for press offences. So fierce was the storm that President Mourontseff an- nounced that he would be compelled to adjourn the session if the demon- stration was continued. Procurator Pavloff, after reading his communication in a hurried, agitated voice, immediately left the hall but not too soon to escape cries of “mur- derer,” “assassin” and ‘dog” from the radicals, who had posted them- selves in all parts of the hall. BRYAN HEARS DISCUSSION. Visits Lower House of the Russian Parliament. St. Petersburg, June 15.—William J. Bryan was an interested spectator of the proceedings in the lower house of parliament. During the agrarian debate, which was continued through- out the morning session, he occupied a seat in the diplomatic box as the guest of Ambassador Meyer and dur- ing the recess Mr. Bryan discussed the situation with some of the leaders of the house, who appeared anxious to explain their views to the distin- guished American.. Among others Mr. Bryan talked with M. Alladin, leader of the peasant workmen group, the most radical element in parliament. LIGHT PUNISHMENT. Russian Who Murdered Revolutionist. Glven Short Term. Moscow, June 15.—Michalin, the workman who murdered Nicholas Bau- man, the revolutionist, whose funeral, Nov. 2, 1905, was the occasion of a great liberal demonstration, Las been sentenced to imprisonment for a year and a half. .

Thou- sands turned out to see the novel sight and cheered the navigator as he BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1906 TEN CENTS PER WEEK ouse Corynittee Agrees on Meat In- spection Bill. ‘Washington, June 15—By a vote of 9 to 7 the house committee on agri- culture has agreed upon a substitute for the Beveridge hmendment to the agricultural appropriation bill proyid- ing for government inspection of pack- inghouse products, The important features of the substitute are: It places the cost of inspection on the governmént and makes an annual automatic appropriation 'of $2,000,000 to pay the expenses. It requires & rigid post mortem and ante mortem inspection of all animals killed for food. i It requires a govérnment label as a passport for -all meat and meat prod- ucts which enter interstate commerce, and in addition to this label a certif- icate of purity; to the carrier and to the secretary of agricultare for such prod- ucts which enter {oreign commerce. To secure this label the product must be handled in accordance with sani- tary regulations to}be prescribed hy the secretary of agriculture, who is authorized to employ, without regard to the civil service law for the first year, an adequate corps of efficient inspectors to supervise the enforce- ment of his regulations. It prohibits- the ‘use of preserva- tives or chemicals in the preparation of meat foods: which are deleterious to health and leaves the matter of de- termining this question to the secre- tary of agriculture. | The label on the product is to indicate the ingredients, but the date of manufacture is not re- quired to be stated. HOLD INDIGNATION MEETINé. Chicago Waitresses |Ask Better Treat- ment by Employers. Chicago, June 16.—The members of the Waitresses’ union held an indig- nation meeting at which their senti- ments were crystalized unanimously in the following maxims for the ben- efit of the managers: “Employas -shall not use profane language to waitresses. “Waitresses shall not be reprimand- ed in the presence of guests.” These two dicta were carefully type- written and laid on the desk of the manager of every down town restau- rant where girls affle employed. Ac- companying them was a note to the effect that unless employers saw fit to follow these rules they may be con- fronted with strikes. The indignation of the voung wom- en is said to have been aroused when a manager in a restaurant discharged a waltress: for - ‘taking offense at a reprimand.” The manager afterward apologized, it is said, but this did not appease the wrath of the young wom- an belonging to the union. WILL OFFER NO TESTIMONY. Standard Oil Company Rests on De- nial of Charges. Cleveland, June 15.—The interstate commerce commission reopened the investigation of the Standard Oil com- pany here during the day. C. A. Proun- ty was the only member of the com- mission present. J. T. Marchand, chief counsel for the commission, was as- sisted by S. S. Mehard of Pittsburg. In opening the session Commissioner Prouty said that he had received a letter from Virgil P. Kline, chief coun- sel for the Standard Oil company of Ohio, on June 7, in which it was stated that the Standard Oil company did not desire at this time to offer any testimony. Mr.. Kline, who was present, cor- roborated this statement and said that this course was decided upon because he believed that a full reply to all the charges against the Standard Oil company was now on file in the office of the commissioner of corporations. TRAPPED BY NATIVES. One British Officer Slain and Four ‘Wounded. Cairo, June 15.—Captain S. C. Bull of the Sixth Inniskilling dragoons was killed and. four other British officers were badly injured by the natives near Tantab during the march of a detachment of British troops from here to Alexandria. The five officers, apparently on the invitation of a vil- lage official, went to a hamlet to shoot pigeons. The villagers surrounded the party, deprived the officers of their guns and attacked thém with bludgeons with the result that Captain Bull was killed, another had an arm broken aud three others were badly injured. The affair appears to be the outcome of the recent pan-lslamic campaign carried on during the An- glo-Turkish dispute over the Tabah Voundary. BURLINGTON ROAD GUILTY. Convicted of Granting Concessions to Packers. % Kansas City, June 15.—The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway com- pany was found guilty here by a jury in the United States district court on four counts of granting concessions on packinghouse shipments for export to the Armour Packing company, Swift & Co,, Cudahy & Co, and the Nelson Morris Packing company.

Entirely New Proposition Submitted e to Congress. ‘Washington, June 15.—An entirely new proposition for the supply - of funds for building purposes to San Francisco has been presented to the house committee on appropriations at a hearing given the relief commit- tee now here. The plan, it is said, is the sugges- tion of Senator Aldrich, who objected decidedly to the proposed plan for a government loan. The plan proposed is that congress pass a joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the treasury to. place $10,000,000 of government funds on deposit in San Francisco under the same terms as deposits are made in all government depository banks, CONVENTION AT LOCAL CHURCH Northwestern Baptist Associa- tion Holds Annual Meeting— Many Delegates Arrive.

Firemen and police hurried to the scene and the injured ! were quickly taken to a neighboring hospital, while the work of searching ( for further possible casualties pro-| ceeded with vigor, in spite of the: fierceness of the fire, which soon as- . sumed alarming proportions, owing to ;| the inflammable nature of the cargo. ; After a two hours hard fight, however, | the firemen obtained the mastery of the fames. ! It is believed that a number of the : men taken to the hospital will sue- | cumb to their injuries. Outwardly little harm has been done to the vessel beyond the rents in the deck, but inside the damage is extensive both by the explosion and the fire. GREAT CROWDS CHEER BRIDE, Richest Woman in England Married at London. - London, June 15.—Lady Mary Ham- ilton, only daughter of the late twelfth Duke of Hamilton and Prandon and the richest woman in Great Britain, was married at St. George’s church, Hanover square, to the Marquis of Graham, eldest son of the Duke of Montrose. King Edward was among those present at the ceremony. The church was filled with members of the peerage and the bride, who is very popular, received a great ovation from the crowds outside the church as she entered and departed. At one period the enormous crowd desired to make a closer inspection of the bride, broke through the police cordon and swelled round her carriage when it arrived in front of the church portico, almost completely blocking its passage. Heavy reinforcements of police were necessary to clear the way for the king’s carriage and open a passage for the bride to enter the church. ISLAND OF MINDANAO. First Lieutenant Bolton and a Citizen Murdered. ‘Washington, June 15.—Major Gen- eral Wood Has cabled from Manila to the war department as follows: “A dispatch from Brigadier General Lester H. Bliss reports the murder of First Lieutenant Edward C.
