JZAR'S OWN REGIMENT DISLOYAL FEARED ENTIRE ARMY WILL DE- S8ERT MONARCHY IN CASE OF OUTBREAK. Bt. Petersburg, June 30.—An official lenial is given of the rcport_that the | emperor and court are leaving Peter- hof and returning to Tsarskoe-Selo dwing to the dlscovery of a revolution- ary plot among the palace servants. Peterhof in reality is much safer for the imperial family than Tsarskoe- Belo, being located on a gulf, enabling the imperial yacht to be moored at a wharf 200 yards from the palace, al- waye available to convey the emperor and his family to Finland or some other place of security. There is an elaborate system of wireless teleg- raphy connecting the palace of Peter- hof with the fortresses of Cronstadt, Viborg and Helsingfors and with the warships in the gulf, thus insuring the emperor against being again cut off from the outside world, as he was during the telegraph operators’ strike of last fall. Since the revelations that disloy- alty had invaded even “his majesty’s own” regiment, the Praeobrajensky regiment of the guards, it is asserted here that nothing would be surpris- Ing.

TEN CENTS PER WEEK LYING NEAR THE STAR THEATRE Martin Brendley Discovered by Police on Platform in Front of Building. Apparently Knocked Down and Tramped on and Beat With Driving Boots. As the result of injuries in- flicted by some party or parties unknown, Martin Brendley died; this morning, and Chief of Police Bailey and his assistants and County Attorney McDonald are conducting a searching investi- and the detection of the person or persons who inflicted the fatal wounds. While Patrolman Smith was| | making the rounds, at about 6 o’clock this morning, he found Brendley lying on the sidewslk in | front of the Star theatre build- ing, His face and head were badly cut and lacerated and cov- ered with blood, and he was evi- dently in great pain. Near Brendley were two men, who! atterwards gave their names as Robert Thomas and *“Blackie.” Mr. Smith notified police head- quarters and the injured man was removed to the police sta. tion. Dr. Marcum was notified | and he made an examination of Brendley, finding that his nose had been broken in two places, | evidently by calks on driving shoes, which had also penetrated his forehead-in two places. There was a bruise on the témple above the right eye, abrasions on the right side of the face, and also a wound on the right side of the chin, The doctor gave Brendley medicine, which revived him somewhat, and then left for his home to get breakfast, During the absence of the doctor, the man died. The body was taken to Lahr's undertaking rooms, where they were exposed for the purpose of ascertaining any in- gation into the cause of deathi- " 1Thomas and *‘Blackie,” the men 1 Bemidji was theé scene of a murder early this mornifig. Martin Brendley, a lumberjack, wasfound ina dying condi~ tion, badly bruifed and battered about the face and head, onithe platform of the I Star theatre, at jiist about the hour when the busifiess public was eating breakfast. e He had evidently been lying there for several hours, :;:-u breath was com- i { ! He died shortly of the killing can- | il the murderer or - eye=witnesses tell the story, but every ‘ evidence points ‘to his having been knocked down and tramped on and kicked with heavy driving boots.

The case is eavel- oped inmystery. {{ The police andicounty attorney are ~ working assiduously running down all clues and everyflx::: that can be done gul to discover the is being done. the dead man’s identity and place -of abode.

When the -latter was found, there was a jugof-gin by his side. | Both' Thomas and “Blackie”| were. put -through a vigorous “sweating” bet they “stood pat,"” claiming with child-like inno- cence, that they knew nothing whatever of Brendley’s injuries; that he (Brendley) had fallen off the bench, and they were densely ignoraunt. 5 : County Atforney McDonald ! questioned the other men vor_vl closely, with some small results. | Alfred Burke, the man who operatés thésdloon in the theater building, says that he closed his placeat'3:30 a. m., and~ went to bed and thatat that time there was no one around the front of the theater. Up to the time he} fell asleep there were no unusual noises and he was not awakened. “My opinion is that the man was beat up in the alley and hauled to the front of the build- ing,” declared Burke. A little more light is thrown on the time of the tragedy by the statement of Nick Saith, whol boards with Mr. Burke in the POLICE SEEKING FOR MURDERER Several Men Under Suspicion— All Swear to Ignorance of Case.

They had a jug and were taking liberal drinks out of it, occasionally. One of the men I think was this man Brendley, although I would not say for sure, “I didn’t think much about if, and went into the house. At about a quarter to tive [ heard a I noise out in front as if the men were tramping around, but it did inot strike me as anything re- markable. I wouldn’t have got the idea that anyone was® being killed. There was no shouting, or means. or cries ot murder. I went to sleep soon afterward.” Chief of Police Bailey and Captain Helmer are deserving of much credit for the prompt | manner in which they have taken the investigation of the matter. They are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding the affair, Brendley was-seen in:< local saloon yesterday afternoon, in company with another man.~ He was buying drinks very liberally, the other party paying for nothing that was furnished: Brendley seemed to be well supplied with money. At the time he was searched by the police, there was not a centabout his person. The post mortem is being held this afternoon, and it is believed by many that the result will bring out some new features as formation possible concerning |theater building.

[ ‘Washington, June 30.—A joint reso- lution providing a temporary govern- ment for the Isle of Pines has been introduced in the senate by Senator Dick. The presentation of the bill created immediate interest and at the request of Senator Morgan it was read and referred to the committee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico. It applies the canal zone govern- ment to the island and in addition declares a policy with reference to it. It is as follows: . “That until it shall be otherwise provided by act of congress and by! treaty with Cuba the government of the Isle of Pines rightfully belongs to the United States of America. “That until congress shall otherwise provide by law all the military, civil and judicial powers, as well as the power to make all rules and regula- tions necessary for the government of the Isle of Pines, shall be vested in such person or persons and shall be exerciged in such manner as the pres- ident shall direct for the government! of the said Isle of Pines and main-l taining and protecting the inhabitants ! thereof in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and religion.” TILLMAN AND BAILEY CLASH.| Latter Resents Former’s Denunciation | of Lawyers. i ‘Washington, June 30.—In the course of the debate on the conference report on the railroad rate bill, Senators : Bailey and Tillman engaged in a very sharp controversy over the Ilatter’s denunciation of the lawyers. The Texas senator indicated an opinion that this was demagogy and Mr. Till- man, while contending that he respect- ed the attorneys of standing, said he had an utter contempt for shysters and for the men who pack political conventions. There was intense feel- ing for a few moments, but it passed hway. | lin, president of the Jones & Loughlin ‘" DEAD AT THE THROTTLE. Engineer on Fast Passenger Expires of Heart Disease. Philadelphia, June 30.—The Colonial express from Boston to Washington on the Pennsylvania railroad arrived here with George Maxwell, the engi- neer, dead at the throttle. The train left Trenton, N. J,, on schedule time. There are no stops between that point and the North Philadelphia station, but it is customary to “slacken the speed at Frankford Junction, in the northeastern section of the city. When this was not done James Hackett, the | fireman, called to Engineer Maxwell, who was at his post. Recelving no reply Hackett climbed over to the en- gineer’s side of the cab and found Maxwell dead, his fingers rigid upon the. throttle. Maxwell's death was due to heart disease. He was forty-five years old. RESULT OF ELOPEMENT. Father .Shoots Daughter and Is Killed by Son-in-Law. Hazelton, Pa., June 30.—Rafalo Marsicano went to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Withe, at West Hazelton, and shot her in the head. The woman’s husband seized Marsi- cano and, securing the latter’s revol ver, instantly killed him. The daugh ter will recover. The shooting was due, the son-in- law claims, to the elopement of the daughter with him three months ago: After. the shooting Withe gave him- self up to the police. Millionaire’s Son a Burglar.

The In- diana senator said he was in favor of compelling the packers to pay the cost of inspection and requiring them to place the date of inspection on cans of meat. He said that the house substitute retained all other features of the senate bill and that in the in- terest of practical legislation to purify meat products he would not stand in the way because the government is i required to pay the cost of inspec- tion. The senate leaders believe that the i outcome must be a concession to the house. HOUSE REFUSES TO RECEDE. i Instructs Conferees Not to Accept Senate Compromise. ‘Washington, June 30.—When the conferees on the agricultural bill met the house representatives announced that under instructions voted by the ! house they would be compelled to in- sist upon the house provision in re- gard to meat inspection without com- promise of any kind. The senate con- ferees stood out for the compromise proposition offered by Senator Proctor to divide the expense of inspection between the packers and the govern: ment by retaining the $3,000,000 ap- propriation, but taxing cattle 56 cents and swine, sheep and goats 3 cents a head, which would result in revenues of about $1,500,000 annually. The conference broke up at 11:15 o’clock. Senator Proctor announced that he would ask the senate for instruc- tions. i RECORD RAINFALL IN LONDON. Precipitatlon of Over Two Inches in Eight Hours. London, June 30.—Most of the ar- rangements for the public observance of King Edward's birthday were can- celled on account of a severe rain storm which visited this country dur- ing the early hours of the morning. QOver two inches of rain fell in Lon- don in eight hours, ccnstituting a record. Many districts were flooded, people were driven out of their houses, the underground railways were inundated and trafic was stopped. In some of the suburbs of this city the streets were impassable to pedestrians and the imprisoned occupants of flooded houses were res- cued by firemen in boats. A great amount of damege was caused by the storm in the agricul- tural districts. RENEW FIGHT ON SALOONS. New Scheme Planned to Close Kansas City (Kan.) Joints. Kansas City, June 30.—C. W. Trick- ett, assistant attorney general, who is fighting #he saloons in Kansas City, Kan., conferred during the day with Judge W. G. Holt of the common pleas court on a new scheme to close the Jjoints, “I predict,” said Mr. Trickett, “that there will be no liquor served in this county within thirty-six hours after we launch our new campaign,” the nature of which he declined to make public. In the meantime the attorney gen- eral continued collecting evidence pre- paratory to final action in the case of the forty jointists who had previously been served with writs of abatement. ACCUSED OF CHANGING RECORD. Dalzell (Pa.) Says Cooper (Wis.) Is Not a Gentleman. ‘Washington, June 30.—The heated controversy between Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) and Mr. Cooper (Wis.), growing out of the blanket rule to permit the-con- sideration of conference reports with- out printing, had its aftermath in the house during the day. Under a question of personal priv- ilege Mr. Dalzell, with great delibera- tion but showing deep feeling, called the attention of the house to what he charged amounted to a deliberate change in the record by Mr. Cooper in changing the wording of the coilo- quy between them. Mr. Dalzell, read- ,ing from the original notes of the re- porters on the sharp interchange which occurred and then comparing them with the manner in which they appeared in the record, said that no - gentléman had a right to _change the substantial character.of another gen- tleman's speech. But that was what the change amounted to, he said. “He impugned the motives of the house and he impugned my motives,” said Mr. Dalzell. “With no one by he cunningly changed the substance. There is only one way in which a gen- -tleman can retract words said in the heat of debate and that is in the pres- ence of the one to whom the imputa- tion is uttered.” Mr. Dalzell asked that the exact words of Mr. Cooper should go into the record instead of the words as they had appeared. “This attack is not unexpected to me,” said Mr. Cooper. “Ever since I voted against the Lake Erie canal bill the gentleman from Pennsylvania has been on edge with me.” Mr. Cooper Justified the changes made on the ground of bad reporting. Byga vote of 86 to 43 the remarks of Mr. Cooper were expunged from the record and the original remarks inserted. MORRIS CASE CLOSED. Tillman Claims He -Has Established His Contention. Washington, June 30.—The eject- ment of Mrs. Minor Morris from the ‘White House executive offices on Jan. 4 lagt, under instructions issued by Benjamin F. Barnes, then assistant secretary to the president but now postmaster of this city, has had its last hearing in the senate. Senator Tillman reviewed the entire case and placed all the papers con- nected with the case on record. His sole purpose, he said, was fully to ac- quaint the public with all the facts in this connection and to justify his con- assertions made by him during the debates on this matter. Timothy D. Sullivan Resigns. ‘Washington, June 30.—The resigna. tion of Timothy D. Sullivan as a mem- ber of the house from the Eighth New York district was sent to the speaker Thursday and read to the house. RAPIDLY RECUPERATING, Reconstruction of San Francisco Well Under Way. San Francisco, June 30.—In its monthly bulletin of progress the Cali- fornia promotion committee says that ; the commercial conditions throughout California are unprecedented in the i history of recuperation from disaster and shows that the financial institu- tions of the state are on a sound basis, with plenty of funds. The clearings of San Francisco for the month showed a decrease of but 9 per cent from those of the same period of 1906. The clearings for June, 1906, amounted to $121,677,692, as against $134,836,632 for June, 1905. Nearly 25,000 skilled laborers are employed in reconstruction work, i there haying-been between 2,000 and 8,000 temporary houses erected since i the fire.

TILLMAN CRITIGISES-THE PRESIDENT SAYS EXECUTIVE IS NOT CON- SISTENT IN HIS FIGHT ON OIL TRUST. ‘Washington, June 30.—The senate has agreed to the conference report on the railroad rate bill, which passes the measure. When Senator Tillman called up the report he renewed his attack upon the pipe line amendment as being in the interest of the Standard Oil com- pany. “Abott the time the Allison amend- ments were incubating,” he said, “there was a great furore about the Garfield report on the Standard Oil company and we were tcld that the exposure of its crimes weuld help the vote on the rate bill and under the cover of this dust the president re- tired from his advanced position on railroad legislation and accepted the Allison pr n. There the big stick and the pitciauk, which had been in alliance, fourd t:emselves separated and the pitchfork, while doing duty on the firing line, looked around oaly to see the tail of its associate hustling towards the rear, sliding towards the Allison base, to use a baseball phrase. The big stick was rushing in on all fours to get between Father Allison’s legs.” He had no fauit to find, he added, except that he considered the president had been inconsistent in not coming to the assistance of the sen- ate conferees. He considered it “a little remarkable that just when he might do something to thwart the pol- icy of this gigantic monopoly he is as mum as a mouse, except that there is now another hurrah about what the president is going to do to the Stand- ard Oil in the way of suits.” Minneapolis Wheat.
