Shipoff is bringing to present to the Emperor. The document bids fair to become historical. The customary and the closing are omitted, and it is other- wise unceremosnious, employing the di rect personal pronoun. The address arraighs the bureaucracy | and reminde the Emperor that his pledge to convoke a national assembly is slow of fulfillment. It says the coun- try is on the verge of civil war, and even ventures to criticize a royal meas- ure, contrasting the increase of the po- lice power by the ukase issued last Sunday with a weakening of the ad ministrative process which the country had been led to expect. The address urges the summoning of a national assembly that the war may become national or cease, and concludes with a solemn reminder of the sover- eign’s duty to God and the fathepland and a prayer for action before it is too | late. There ie intense interest to Iearn whether the Emperor will receive the Learers of so bold a message, couched in terms such’as have never before been used between the Emperor and his sub- sects. The hddress is buttressed with a stream of petitions from individual Zemstvos and municipalities. The Doumas of nearly all the prin- cipal cities have addressed the throne, praying that the representatives of the peuvple be summoned at once. The address is a lengthy document, | from which the following are extracts.: Sire, Rugsla bas been drawn into a disas- trous ‘war by criminal abuses and the :‘e:fi genve of your counselors. Our army fis powerless and our fleet has teen annihiiated, but more menacing than this extreme peri] 15 the prospect of a civil war waged by your people against all the vices of @ dangerous and ignorant bureaucracy. Proceeding, the address declares that the Emperor's reform intentions have | been “ dfstortea and misearried. while the police have béen gfVen unrestricted power. The address says: Martial law has been dectared, and the path to enable the truth to reach you is barred to your subjécts. * * * Sire, before it-is too late, for the eltare of Russta, command a convocation of representatives ¢f the nation elected by equal fganchise, and let these elected representatives decide with you the vital ques- tion of war or peace, thus transtorming the war into @ national oné. * * * Let them es- 1ablish un agreement with you for a renovated vational orgenization. * * % Sire, do not de ley.

The examination was held last week before a board consisting of Majors Eil S. Cole, Jobn A. Lejeune and Albert 8. McLemore, with Lieutenant Douglas C. McDopgall as recorder. The Qquestions weie printed in the Government Printing Office, because of the great extent of the subjects covered. When the examinatio nwas nearly com- pleted Major Cole received an anonymous communication inclosing a list of ques~ tions on gecgraphy upon which the can- didates were to have been examined the fi ing day. The paper was not a v atim copy, but it covered all ints concerning which the candidates e to be questioned. The¥etter also stated that some of the candidates had been supplied with certain of the questions in gram- mar, arithmetlc and geometry, in which they had previously been examined and in which they had made exceptionally high marks. A rigid investigation to ascertain the icak is under way, but mo clew has yet been found. A certain candidate who failed to pass the physical examination, which precedes the mental examination, suspected of having purchased the papers ang sold them to other candidates, but of this there is mo proof at hand. Officers of the Marine Corps have heard reports that the unsuccessful can is declared that he had paid $100 for t: ex- amination papers and that he offered them for sale with the statement that it Wwas necessary to get back what they cost. FLYING TRAIN LETS ORDERS - BY WIRELESS E xperiments on the Alton Railroad Are Successful. Special Dispatch to The Call. | CHICAGO, June 8.—Wireless telegrams were sent to and from the Alton Limited | train to-day when it was running at the rate of a mile a minute from here to 8t. Louwss. So satisfactory was the test that President Felton has decided that all passenger trains on the Chicago and Al- ton Rallroad shall be equipped to send and receive wireless messages. To-morrow wireless messages will be exchanged between Alton limited trains northbound and southbound, while both are running at full speed; while one is running and the other standing still, and | when both trains are stopped. Wireless messages also will be sent to both trains from Chicago, Springfield and §t. Louis | and from the trains to these three cities. The main object of tne Alton road in | equipping its passenger trains for re- ceiving and sending wireless messages | 18 to still further decrease the risk of ac- | cident. Including this, the Alton will | have four distinct systems for insuring | the safety of trains. | The first system is the original train | order {ssued by the dispatcher for the movement of each train. The second is a station or manual block system under | which the movement of trains is directed by sgation agents acting under telégraph orders or standing rules. The third sys- tem is an electric or - automatic signal which maintains at least a safe distance between two trains running on the same track, unless the signals are disregarded by the engineer and crew.

W. Coffin Says Are Not Mounted and That Japan or Any | Nation Could Ruin \City FILIPINOS DISLIKE { - RULE.OF. AMERICANS | Guns Desperade Offers Big Reward for the Head of Governor Who Had Sought to Cap- ture Qutlaw and Associate sk Should the United States become of- fensive to Jnpan and a declaration of war follow, an ordinary gunboat from the Mikado’s ficet could ensily enter the hurbor of Manila under the cover | vt night uand force the Philippine cap- |ital Inte subjection—provided, of vourse, that the American war vessels were not convenfently ut hund to thwart the plans of the little brown men. 'This Is the opivion, boldly expressed, of Com- | mander Frederick W. Cofiln of the United States navy, who is at the Occi- dental Hotel. Coflin arrived on the last steamer from the Philippines. He is on a mission to Washington and expects to return to Ma- nila In a few weeks. Just what this mis- | sion is he refuses to say, but yesterday he showed no hesitancy in his criticisms of the condition of affairs in the newly acquired American possessions in the Far East, and especially as regards the lack of provisions for ‘the defense of the | islands. Commander Coffin has been in the Phil- ippines the greater part of the time gince the Spanish-American war, holding vari- ous positions and latterly as commangant of the navy yard at Cavite. While un- willing to concede that any nation could long withhold the Philippines from the American navy he did admit, during an interview yesterday, that we could offer only a weak defensé if any of the great naval powers started out to take posses- sion of the islands. ‘At present;” said he, “there is-not a gun mounted around the harbor of Ma- nila, and, without the protection of eur naval vessels,” Cavite and the city of Manila would be absolutely at the mercy of a foreign warship. I believe this is the first time within the history of the islands, for at least a century, that guns have not frowned down upon the waters of Manila bay. The Spanish, at all times, had their guns mcunted, but we haven't a single one ready for action. NAVY IS SOULE PROTECTION. “The naval fleet is the only protection the peopls’ of "Manila have. {'fxen you consider the breadth of ‘fhe harbor and the easy access it affords to’ war vessels, in the event “of trouble, it is easy to imagine fthe riecessity of having the en- tranee ‘of the bay properly guarded,-by fottifications ‘on the islundg’ at its moath, and upon the elevations at Cavite and on the opposite side.” Commander Coffin, says the Govern- ment is at pres@nt devoting almost all of its funds in constructing roads and buildings, and some of the latter, he says, will not be appreciated by the uncivilized natives for many years to come. Among naval men, he says, the theory seems to prevail that an attempt to civilize the Filipinos by modern American methods ¥ not the success that people at home are inclined to be- lieve, uud he doubts whether the Fili- pinos will ever be loyal to the Ameri- cans. k “Chey have not taken kindly to our system of taxation,” said Coffin, “and you hear natives on all sides saying that they do not enjoy life as they did before the Spanish were forced to re- linquish their control. SUBDUING MARAUDERS. “And then you hear.a lot about sub- duing the bands of marauders, but there are still thousands of these thiev- ing bands at large and ready for any kind of treacherous work. Just before I left Manila the Government was hav- ing trbuble with two desperadoes nameéd Felizardg,and Montelon, chiefs of tribes of lJadfopes, and a reward of $7500 was offered for the capture of the two fellows, Barely had the reward been announced before Felizardo, in turn, offered’a reward of $5000 for the head of Governor Shanks, and some of those desperate natives. would soan pat. the Governor if he was not properly protected while traveling about.” Commander Coffin says the only sal- vation for-the Philippines, in so far as progress is concerned, will be the free admission of Chinese, who are ready to labor, while the natives of the Philip- pines stubbornly persist in ‘leading lives of indolence. g R _—————— MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING TAKES PLACE AT A UNION MEETING | Folice Arrest Sixty Men Fonnd in the Room and Hold Them Pending an Investigation.
