The bodies of Julius Weber, his wife, daughter and son arrived In San Francisco yesterday in charge of Charles Mayer of Sonora, a brother of Mrs. Weber, and Mrs. W. P. Scott of Soulsbyville and Mrs. Charles Hess of Sonora, her sisters. Mrs. H. C. Snow- den, another sister, was prevented from joining the sad party by prostra- tion due to the terrible tragedy. The remains were taken to Cypress Lawn Cemetery, where many friends of the Weber family joined the cor- tege and attended the services at the chapel. There were three caskets, the re- mains of Mrs. Weber and her boy be- ing in one of them. E. B. McPherson conducted the simple gervice in s most impressive manner, after which the cagkets were reverently placed in the receiving vault. The beautiful hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” added to the solemnity of the occasion. The floral offerings were numerous. One, a pillow of white, being sent by the girl schoolmates of Bertha Weber. Charles Mayer later chose the spot where the bodies will be buried and to-day the Interment will take place in the presence of the immedi: = bers of the family. on e Can be cured.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 13.—Russia is facing a great internal crisis, which |in the minds of intelligent Russians | overshadows In importance all ques- tions relating to foreign politics. A new | broad and liberal movement seems not }only under way, but is gaining mo- | mentum dalily, and the best feature of |1t is that it is entirely divorced from any radical revolutionary propaganda. Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky, the Minister | of the Interior, has given the movement impetus, but has done so against the most powerful influences, and behind | the scenes a bitter struggle is waging | for imperial support. During the com- ing week the first test of strength is likely to occur, the result of which may | mean much for the history of Russia. | The policy of reaction, which had | lgrr)wn steadily since the accession of Alexander 111, seemed suddenly to lose its main bulwark when Minister | Plehwe fell. With the advent of Prince | Sviatopolk Mirsky and his frank appeal for a policy of mutual confidence be- tween Government and people a tre- mendous liberal rebound ocgurred, rais- ing, perhaps unjustifiably, high hopes and aspirations. An American enjoying absolute polit- ical freedom can hardly appreciate the full significance of the changes that have occurred since Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky's inauguration in a land of ab- solutism. The Russian policy as re- gards Finland, if not reversed, has been greatly ameliorated, and the Finnish national Diet will meet next month. Only yesterday prominent Finlanders who were exiled under the Plehwe regime received permission to return to their own country or to go abroad if they desired to do so. The oppressive activity of the police | throughout the empire has been largely relaxed; banishment by ad- ministrative order has been abolished; | hundreds of political prisoners exiled to Siberia have been recalled; the Jews have received assurances of the dawning of a brighter day; the doors have been thrown open at two of the biggest trials proceeding in Russia (the Schaumann treason trial and the Jewish trial at Gobel) and the method of treating student demonstra~ tions has been radically changed. Per« suasion is being substituted for Cos- | sack charges. | But nowhere are the changes so | marked as in the matter of the press. ‘lAfter years of the strictest censorship Russian papers suddenly found their Slav Artillery Is Government o Re- voices within the last fortnight and were remarkably plain spoken in the discussion of (internal affairs, and es- pecially now the forthcoming meeting of Zemstvo presidents. All accounts of the Schaumann and Gobel trials | have been printed and even partica- lars of student demonstrations, with | resolutions offered at the polytechnic | institute declaring that what was wanted was not confidence, but an end of the war and the immediate convocation of a national assembly. Such an unprecedented publication made the Russian public rub its eyes in amazement. Prince Ouktomsky, editor of the Viodomosti, said to-day that never within his memory had Russian news- papers been allowed such liberties; yet these things had been done quiet~ ly and without public proclamation. As a rule, he the laws had net been modified. AR e ATTACK UPON VILLAGE. Slav Defenders of Vliuchinin Repulse Japanese. MUKDEN, Nov. 13.—The Japanese, on the night of November 11, attacked the village of Viuchinin simultaneously on three sides, but were driven off with little loss. Saturday passed quietly. There was occasional artillery fire along the line, especially on the forts. The forced issue of paper rubles has not lowered the purchasing power of Russian money. The Japanése are pay- ing for supplies with vouchers, which the natives recelve with suspicion. There have been some disturbances at Yinkow among the Chinese, who pre- fer Russian money, and who have sent a protest to Peking both on this ac- count and because of Japapese inter- ference with the working the rail- way.

P NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Thomas E. ! Watson to-day gave out the following | statement: It should be borne in mind that at the time the Springfield convention tendered me the Presidential nomination the People's party had no Teal existence as a factor in national poii- tics for eight years. In the Presidential elec- tion of 1800 it gave to its nominee only 50O votes. To that extent had the fusion of 1896 | swallowed up a movement which in 1894 | counted nearly 2,000,000 of votes and about 1600 active newspapers. Therefore We had to build from the ground up in 1904. We had | almost nothing to start with in way of party organization, campaign funds and news- had only three months In sidered, some fair idea of What WAS acoom- alished can be bad only when the official re- turns are known. Up to this time no official statement has been made of the vots, and I| can only guess what it was from {nformation | conveyed to me by friends in various parts of | the country. These sources, of course, are not very reliable. Basing an estimate upon them, however, my opinion is that I r ived some- thing like a balf million votes, scattered thiough so many Btates, North and South, East and West, as to indicate that the | sentiment which gives its moral support to | the People’s party is national and not sec- | tional. 1 bave found everywhere that the current was strong and deep In favor of Jef- | fersontan ocracy.

Minister of Finance, answering the criticism of the terms of the recent foreign loan, sald that the loan was unsatisfactory to the Gevernment, but the delay in captur- | ing Port Arthur and the departure of the Russian Baltic fleet had created a | hitch in the negotiations and had com- pelled the acceptance of terms less ad- vantageous than those of the first for- eign loan. A dispatch from Tokio, October 31, ! said that in the preliminary estimates of the budget, covering January, Feb—i ruary and March, 1905, and the fiscal vear commencing in April, the war | expegses were estimated at $385,000,000 | and ordinary expenses at $60,000,000. It was proposed to provide for the war expenses by increasing the taxation by $45,000,000, by retrenching from the ad- | vance expenses and the suspension of | 7 public works to the amount of $35,000,- | 000 and to raise the balance by loans. st 2ol s Baltic Fleet's Movements.

A delighttul has been arranged and the public is invited to attend. | One was the immense personal unpopularity Mr. Roosevelt's overwhelming majority was not so much due to the fact that our people believe In class legislation and the relgn of special privileges. It was not by any means an indorsement of corporation tyranny, the &reed of the trusts or the methods of com- | bined capital. Mr. Roosevelt's majority over Mr. Parker was dus mainly to two things. of Mr, Cleveland's second administration. Un- fortunately for Mr. Parker, he became 0 | completely identified with the marauders who plundered the Government during Cleveland's second administration that he had to bear all the odium which they had incurred. The peo- ple have never had a chance to show just what they thought of that second administration. Mr. Bryan's two campaigns did not give them the opportunity. It was only when the | old_Cleveland combination secured the defeat | of Bryan and Hearst and dictated the norhi- | nation of Mr. Parker that the masses got the opportunity to vent upon a national candidate the intense hatred which they had been nurs- | ing for years against such men as Olney and Belmont and Carlisle and Cleveland himself. | They knew that I could mot be elected, and they were so eager to make the best of the opportunity to safeguard the country against | a repetition of that saturnalia of class legisla- | tion which marked Cleveland's second adminis- | tration that they rushed to Roosevelt and gave | him a majofity which des not under ordinary circumstances helong to the Republican party.

If political history teaches anything, it is that old fes never accomplish any reform unless they are irresistibly driven to it by pressure from without. I hope at least to be of kome use to my country in aiding those who will apply that pressure. Tt is im- | material to me who does the work which re- want done, #0 that the work itself is ‘orme done. 1 have no faith whatever that reforms will | be accomplished by the Democratic party. It is discredited in the eyes of the people by & serles of crushing defeats, but it has been o vacillating in its course, it changed its principles so often, has run from one extreme to another so recently, had such a magnificent opportunity in 1892 to work out the reforms to which it stood pledged and made such wretched use of that opportunity that it can- not inspire the confidence which leads to suc- | cess. Since 142 the Democratic party has al- | most entirely boxed the compass in political profession of faith. It has been for pretty much everything unt{] this year, when it stood for everything or nothing, ng to the interpretation which the voter chooses to put upon its ambiguous platform.

It is estimated that snow fell to a depth of a foot on the level. The city is in darkness o to the crossing of wires and the fal of many poles, due to the wires being weighted down with snow.
