Land- fleld of the State University delivered an address on the powers of the Czar. Having traveled in Russia extensively, his views are interesting, differing somewhat from those generally enter- tained. He stated among other things | that the power of the Czar is entirely ! nominal and wholly unlike that of Ivan the Terrible: that the Government is controlled by the Chin Administration, and that the hostilities in the Far East { were brought about in strong opposi- tion to the desires of the Czar. Profes- | sor Landfield referred to official cor: ruption in Russia in its deterrent ef: fect upon the progress of civilization in Russia. | Before and after the lecture instru- | mental and vocal numbers were ren- dered.

On Thursday night the Forum Club distinguished itself by holding an evening session—but be not alarmed —the men folk were invited, and they came, too. Whether prompted by curiosity or by the announcement of a lecture by Henry Payot on “An Evening With the Queen of the Adri- atic” it matters not. They were there —and what is more, appeared to en- irs. Payot retires from the presi- dency bearing the laurels of two terms of unprecedented success..

PETERSBURG, April 3—Em- bassador McCormick is mnegotiating .with the Foreign Office for a treaty with Russia which will give to United States corporations the right to sue in Russian courts and to Russian corpor ations the right to sue in courts of the | United States. Under the Russian law United States corporations can be sued but cannot sue in the courts of the empire. This has caused United States firms great annoyance as well as losses in the past. In addition the Embassa- *dor hopes to secure in the treaty a broad clause which will give to the United States corporations all privi jeges in whatever character now enjoy- -ed by the corporations of any foreign country. Although there are difficulties in the way 0f accomplishing the desired re- sult, the Embassador's advances have been met in the friendliest manner and the indications are that his negotia- tions will terminate successfully. The only countries now enjoying the privileges which Embassador McCor- mick is striving to obtain for the United States are Germany, Greece, Bulgaria and Italy. s s A NEW YORK, April 8.—Mre.

BOLD THIEVES RAID A SALOD Enter Barroom and Order Proprietor and Customers to Throw Up Their Hands —— Two men, masked with handker- | chiefs, entered and robbed the saloon |and grocery of J. H. O'Brien, 471 | Shotwell street, about 10 o'clock last nteht. O’Brien and two customers were in | the barroom when two robbers, one | wearing a red handkerchief and the other a white one over his face, entered and, at the points of revolvers, ordered | the crowd to throw up their hands. James O'Callahan, one of thé cus- . tomers, was rather deliberate in rais- ing his hands, whereupon.one of the robbers fired at him. The shot missed, however, and the thief struck O'Calla- | han on the head with the butt end of his revolver, knocking him to the floor. Dan Ford and O’'Brien were searched and a gold watch and $4 in coin taken from Ford. O'Brien had no money on his person. The thugs next robbed the till, from which they got $5 or $6. As soon as the thieves had left the saloon O'Brien tan for his revolver, which he usually keeps behind the bar. He was unable to find it there, but later located it in his room behind the store. As soon as he found his revolver, O’Brien ran out into the street and fired several shots in the air. In lese than ten minutes a patrol wagon, carrying a squad of police from the Mission station, was on the spot, but the culprits had made good their escape. \ Detectives Fitzgerald, Dinan and ‘Wren were detailed on the case, but as yet no arrests have been mrade. O'Callahan’s injuries are slight. — e Suspected Crook é-ptumd. John Griffin, a youth known to the police, was taken into custody yester- day afternoon by Mounted Policeman E. C. Pidgeon at the corner of Stanyan and Fulton streets on a charge of drunkenness. When searched at the Park Police Station, a carpenters’ chisel was found in Griffin's possession and it is supposed he may have been implicated in some of the recent bur- glaries that have been committed i that part of the city. Griffin is said to have served a term in the County Jail for petty larceny, and to have been released but one month ago. —————— Chuang Kuei Ti, the leader of the I guard of the court at Peking, has stated that his troops are unable to shoot be- cause they have never been supplied Iwflh ammunition, and =o are quite un- accustomed to the sound of the rifle. L4 GERMAN SHIP IS ENCULFED Captain of the Deuteros Ig- | nores Warning of Voyager and Vessel Strikes Rocks S B Special Dlspflvcj_‘fio The Call. { TACOMA, April 3. — Oriental ad- | vices received to-day contain details | of the loss of the German steamship | Deuteros, which was wrecked on the | rocks in Paracels Straits in February, | while en route from Saigon to Hong- kong. One passenger had a presenti- 1mem of approaching danger and | askedgghe captain to exercise care in pa: through the narrow channel | between the islands. The captain laughed and declared that there was |no danger. Soon after the steamer | struck the rocks, grinding her hull for |a long distance on the rqugh bottom. Captain Schmidt made a hasty ex- | amination which showed eighteen feet of water in the hold and the vessel ginking fast. Boats were instantly lowered, the Chinese crew taking pos- session of the first two despite the ef- forts of the officers to quiet them. Seventeen passengers and the officers went into later boats, the captain be- ing last to leave tl steamer. The captain’s boat retufned and secured provisions, rockéts ‘and oil and the ! ship’s books.. The boats were then ’\ied together to prevent them sepa- rating in high seas then running. The Deuteros got off the rocks and drifted down the channel after the boats, but her lights disappeared in the early morning, indicating that she had sunk. After drifting thirty hours a light was seen approaching and three rockets were fired. Two failed, but the third went into the air. In three minutes it was answered and the Dutch steamer Laertes, bound for Saigon, picked up the castaways. By Captain Schmidt's good management every soul was saved. The first foreign venture of the Brit- ish Bible Society was to have part of the New Testament translated into Mohawk by a chief with the extraordi- nary name of Tyonenhowkarawen, but who finally reduced it to Nelson and became a British officer and fought for this country in the war of 1812, —————— There were 144 German domestic servants last year who were awarded the servants’ golden cross for having lived forty years with one family.

FEE REACHES CITY New Traffic Man of Southern Pacific Is to Enter on His Duties Here To—Qay HAS SPLENDID RECORD Says He Is Not Figuring on Any Important Changes in the Passenger Department Charles 8. Fee, former general pas- senger agent of the Northern Pacific Railroad and who succeeds B. O. Mc- Cormick as passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific Company, ar- rived from St. Paul yesterday and is registered at the Palace Hotel. He will enter upon his duties at the railroad building this morning. It was gener- ally expected that Fee would be ac- companied to the coast by one or more of his former assistants, for it is a cus- tom of prominent railroad officials, when they make a change from one road to another, to take several of their confidential men with them, but he stated yesterday that he had decid- ed on no-changes, a bit of information that will greatly relieve the anxiety prevailing in the passenger department of the Southern Pacific Company. “Although I left the service of the Northern Pacific with deep regret,” said he yesterday, I come to San Fran- cisco feeling that I will enjoy the friendship and the confidence of the | people here. I am not a stranger in California. 1 have often visited the State, understand its conditions fairly well and have always been an admirer of its progressive methods. As to my future connection with the Southern Pacific Company, 1 can say little at this time, further than that I purpose to follow as closely as possible the pol- icy of my esteemed predecessor.” Charles Fee's interest in California developed some years ago as a result of his family's frequent visits here in search of health, and he has never missed an opportunity of coming West himself. As a passenger traffic man he ranks among the foremost in this coun- try, haying had an experience in this business in the Northern Pacific Com- pany's territory extending over a pe- riod of twenty-six years. He went to the Northern Pacific from the Michi- gan Central in 1577, when the former road had less than 400 miles of line, part of which was leased, and after six vears’ service as secretary to H. E. Sargent he became the general pas- senger agent of the road, entering on his duties just as the line was becom- ing a transcontinental route. To him | fell the arduods work of framing poli- cies, making trafic connections and | establishing various systems for the | future sucdgssful operation of the big road. For r% a year his time was al- most entirely®acroted to this important work and it resulied in building up a business the equal of which was en- joyed by few roads of a similar size in this country. That he is a clever tutor in the traflic business is suggested by the large number of prominent pas- senger traffic men who served un- der him and after graduated out of the Northern Pacific service to higher po- sitions with other roads. Among these may be mentioned J. C. Pond, general passenger agent of the Wisconsin Cen- tral; B. N. Austin, general passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio; A. L. Craig of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, and C. E. Stone, assistant general passenger agent of the Great Northern. el favs HARRIMAN WILL CLOSE UNI PACIFIC OFFICE Purposes to Merge the Local Agency Into That of the Southern Pacific. E. H. Harriman i} preparing to abolish the local offices of the Union Pacific Company by consolidating them with those of the Southern Pa- cific, It is reported on good author- ity that Harriman would have con- solidated the offices several months ago when he was here, and in fact he serigusly considered the matter until he learned that the Union Pa- cific Company’s lease the Masonic Temple has still two years to run and it was not certain whether a change would mean a loss to the company. It is now reported that he has given instructions to his officials here to en- deavor to find some one who will take the remaining portion of the lease off his hands, and that when they succeed an order merging the Union Pacific passenger and freight offices into the local agencies of the Southern Pacific Company will immediately follow. -In that event the last of the Union Pa- cific Company’s agencies on this coast will have disappeared. Several years ago Harriman in- timated his intention of_ closing the local office of the Union Pacific Com- pany, but the proposition brought a hurried protest from other lines on the ground that such a move would give the company as well as the Southern Pacific Company an unfair advantage in the scramble for passen- ger traffic in that it would at once cre- ate for the Union Pacific Company about two thousand new agencies on the coast, for every station along the Southern Pacific lines would immedi- ately become the representative of the other Harriman line. It is evident that Harriman had this idea in view at the time, but only refrained from carrying it out because of threatened antagonism from the Gould lines. Now that Gould is looking coastward, notwithstanding his assertions to the contrary, Harriman feels that he can make the change and the local agents of the Union Pacific Company are looking anxiously for an order de- glaring their offices on Montgomery street out of business. 5 —_————— = Youths Charged With Robbery.

He dwelt upen the divine pro- tection that had been given to the church, and claimed he could see the hand of God in its growth. Apostle Francis M. Lyman course of his remarks said: “We are here that we may have pos- terity. We are here that we may mul- tiply and replenish the earth.” In speaking of the doctrine of divine revelation Apostle Lyman said: “When President Smith stands up to speak we know God is with him. We know that the Lord speaks through that man.
