SENATORS ANXIOUS TO 60 HOME SUGGEST PROPOSAL TO AVOID DELAY. IN ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS, ‘Washington, June 18.—The contro versy between the president and the house concerning the meat inspection legislation and the differences likely to arise between the senate and house relative to the Panama canal type were discussed by the senate leaders during the day to determine what ef fect they will have upon adjournment. The indications are said to be that the senate would decide relative tc meat inspection upon a good and ef fective measure, In regard to the canal legislation the prevailing impression is that the outcome, in the event the senate passes a sea level canal bill, is that all the matter relative to the type would be eliminated in conference from the sundry civil appropriation bill. If this should be dcne it would leave the president free to carry out his expressed determination to pro- ceed with the constructicn of a lock canal. The existing complications in regard to both of these important mat ters are not thought likely to serious- 1y delay the adjournment of congress. A conclusion has been reached by the house leaders whereby the meat inspection bill, the pure food bill and the immigration bill are all to be passed at onca and in the order named.

The bourses of St. Petersburg and Moscow are in a panicky condition and the social democrats and social revolu- tionists, considering parllament to be a negligible quantity, are pushing their campaign for an armed uprising with increased vigor. Demonstrations are daily occurring in the streets of Moscow in favor of a general strike, with which the leaders are trying to precipitate a conflict. The agita- tion among the workmen here has reached the bolling point and patrols are again in heavy force in the indus- trial quarters. In the country the ru- ral guards are throwing in their lot with the peasants, refusing to protect the landlords. The progress of the revolutionary propaganda in the army is serlously alarming the government and to add to the popular excitement comes the massacre of Jews at Bialy- stok. ‘While the reports conflict as to the immediate responsibility for the out- break the authorities here cannot es- cape responsibility for the provocative Black Hundred telegrams which they caused to be printed throughout Rus- sia appealing to the RUMORS NOT CONFIRMED.

BIG BOLT IS8 PREDICTED. lowa May Have Two Republican Tick- ets This Year. ‘Washington, June 18.—Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw has re- turned to Washington in a rather dis- couraged frame of mind regarding the Jowa political situation. He had a long conference with Pres- fdent Roosevelt regarding a publica- tion in the Sioux City Journal, owned by George W. Perkins, who is runuing for governor against Governor Cum- mins. Mr. Shaw expressed surprise at the publication as wired from Sioux City to the effect that the president had really advised him to go to Iowa and take part in the preliminary can- vass. Mr. Shaw says that aside from dis- cussing casually with the president his movements there was no politics mentioned and that when he wired out that after conferring with Mr. Roose- velt he had decided to come to Iowa, he simply meant that he had told his chief of his plans and they had been approved. Towa people in Washington are free in predicting a big bolt at the coming state convention, and look to see both Cummins and Perkins at the head of opposing Republican tickets. ‘The board of directors of the Penn: sylvania company, which operates the Pennsylvania railroad lines west of Pittsburg, has declared a semi-annual dividend of 8 per cent, thus placing the stock on a 6 per cent basis instead efGpercent. . .

London, June 18.—The report of Dr. Thomas, the medical officer of the borough of Stepney, to the local gov- ernment board shows that his depart- ment during the last five years has destroyed over a ton of rotten tinned foods daily at the Stepney wharves. These, he adds, were not American goods, as practically no canned goods from American concerns are imported through the Stepney - wharves, but were colonial meat, fish and fruit. The medical officer says he found New Zealand raspberries treated with sulphur in order to preserve them. On their arrival in England the rasp- berries were soaked in an aniline bath to restore their color. He con- siders that diseased meat once canned will easily defy detection and that a strict examination of the carcasses at the time of ‘slaughtering is the onlv means of protection. 2 NDREEEANATIV/E PATTERSON SUPPORTS BiLL. Speaks in Favor of Ohio River Ship Canal. ‘Washington, June 18.—Senator Pat: terson found in the bill incorporating the Lake Erie and Ohio river ship canal an encouragement to the advocates of the ownership of the public utilities.

He ex- pressed copfidence that the bill would become a law and said that such a step would bg a declaration that the government might at no distant day own and operate the canal for the benefit of the country and he declared that it was not a great stride from the ownership of a canal to the owner- ship of a railroad.

Chicago, June 18.—John Alexander Dowie, on the witness stand in the United States district court during the hearing of the Zion City controversy, was asked: “Are you FElijah, the restorer?” “I have always been.” “When did you first become con- sclous of the fact?” “It gradually grew. I resented the revelation and for years was grieved and angry if any one suggested I was Elijah. T am not a visionary man. The first time it came to my attention | was in Melbourne, or Sydney, Austra-| lia, while-at the head of a Bible so- ciety. " One night I was asked to preach a sermon. I went to supper and ordered two meals, which I forgot to eat. I had been thinking over my subject and could not get beyond Lli- jah. 1 was thinking of his remarkable career and my supper got cold. One of my deacons told me I had a mes- sage from God. I laughed and said, ‘You go away and let me alone” He said ‘I want to tell you you are Eli- jah’ He said that three times and walked away. T was much distressed, for he could not have known I had been thinking of Elijah for an hour. I spoke and my last idea was that T was Blijah. But as God is my judge the thought that [ was the second} embodiment never entered my head. For years I would not think of it, but in after years I had to come to it. They were all right. The first open revelation was that night.” A number of alienists were in at- tendance at court while Dowic was on the stand. TROOPS PATROL THE STREETS.

PRESIDENT ADDS ANOTHER LET- TER TO MEAT INSPECTION LITERATURE. REPLIES TO CHAIRMAN WADSWORTH INSISTS HOUSE SUBSTITUTE IS INADEQUATE TO MEET RE- QUIREMENTS. ‘Washirgton, - June 18.—President Roosevelt has added another chapter to the literature of the meat inspec- tion controversy. It was not through any desire of his that the correspond- ence between himself and Representa- tive Wadsworth, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, was published in its entirety. Inasmuch, however, as Chairman Wadsworth deemed it desirable that the letters should be published and gave them ! to the public the president regards it as proper to complete the corre- spondence thus far exchanged by the publication of his reply to Mr. Wads- ‘worth's letter. In his letter, the president, while ad- mitting his error in stating that the - house substitute contained no provis- fon for the making of inspections of packinghouses at all hours of the day or night, says the substitute still is inadequate to meet the require- ments of the situation. The president says that, after a conference with Rep- resentative Adams of Wisconsin, a member of the agriculture committee, he is convinced Mr. Adams will ac- cept the suggestions made to him re- garding the bill. He says that Mr. Adams in each case “stated that he personally would accept the altera- tions proposed.” These changes in- clude the elimination of the court re- view proposition and a dozen other alterations. In the opinion of the president the suggested changes would make the house committee sub- stitute “as good as the Beveridge amendment,” The president adds that he is not concerned about the lan- guage of the amendment, but with the -accompliskment of . the object In view, thorough and rigid and not a sham | inspection.” LITTLE CHANCE OF RECOVERY.
