FOUR JURORS ARE SELECTED Sworn to Sit in Judg- ment Upon = Ex-Senator French of San Francisco Svecial Dispatch to The Call. SALRAMLNTO Jan. 23.—~When court adjourned’ this afternoon four jurors had been sworn in the case of éx- | Senator Frank French, charged with bribery. They were J. H. Allen, D. W. Benhett, Frank Aschenauer and J. L« Plate. The court will endeavor to com- plete the jury to-morrow. District At- !loruey Seymour has indicated that he will not ask Judge Hart to keep the jury locked up during the trial, as was done in the Bunkers and Emmons cases. It is believed the trial will consume nearly three weeks. The testimony will be of the same general character as that introduced in the cases of ex- Senators Bunkers and Emmons. Bunk- ers will be brought up from San Quen- tin prison to repeat is confession, which gave a dramatic touch to the trial of Bmmons, while much reliance | will be placed upon the story of Ar- | thur Lee, the colored cloakroom at- tendant, who gave s dence at the trial of Emmons. French is expected to place on the stand many witnesses, inciuding poli- ticlang of State prominence, to estab- lish a good reputation for himself. APPEARS IN COURT WITH ARMS BOUND Insane Asylum Inmate De- mands Release From Confinement. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Jan: 23.—The strange spectacle was presented in the Appellate Court:this afternoon of an inmate of an | insane asylum, with his arms strapped to | his body and a deputy Sheriff on either side of him, appearing -before the bar to demand his release from his keepers. Thé man was Dennis Clary and he been an inmate of the Mendocino Sta Hospital for ten years. Several months” ago a San Francisco attorney tried to get film out on the noimd that the commitment in his case The Superior Court of umwu remanded Clary to the custody of the asylum and his attorney appealed t.o the Appellate Court.

The Spanish, French and | British Squadrons in the harbor dis- | played a full complement of colors and | ight the warships and land | jons fired continuous salutes. | The most spectacular feature of-the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, | the Duke of Almodovar, in honor of} the deélegates, affording for the first | time an opportunity for the represen- | tatives of the many nations to assem- | ble in the gorgeous uniforms of their high dlplouunc, military or naval ranks. The scene was rendered more gay | by the midsummer sunshine, and the| flowers and orange and almond trees in full bloom. Within the conference hall the delegat gathered, mostly resplendent In 1d lace, ribbons and | other decorations, the Americans alone | of the glittering assemblage being in | evening dress and without uniforms. ! The Duke of Almodovar. standing at the foot of an improvised throne and | surrounded by an imposing staff of ofiicers, received in the name of King | who preaentcd| the greetings of their Governments to | the King. During the afternoon the Minister of | State received the delegates on board the armored cruiser Emperor Charles V. Henry White, American Embassador to Italy and head of the American delega- tion to the Moroccan conference, is mak- ing the weight of the United States felt in quiet endeavors to 'bring France and Germany nearer together before the dis- puted questions arise in the conference, | These questions cannot be long delayed. It has been possible for' the United States to take the lead in seeking a way toward an agreement that shall guaran- tee fo all countries an equal footing in Morocco and yet recognize in some re- spects the special position of France. It is a difficult task, but all the governments except those directly concerned are assist- ing in it because of the danger of the sit- uation should the canference fail of set-’ tlement. Great Britain Is acting entirely with France and is not disposed now to ask France to modify her views. Italy, however, as the ally of Germany and the friend of France and Russia as the ally of Frence and the friend of Germany are trying to effect a compromise. CANTON MERCHANTS FIGHT VICEKOY’S TAXATION SCHEMP Threaten a Retallatory Strike and Are i Turn Assured of De- enpitation. CANTON, Jah. 23.—Serious trouble ‘threatens to break out as a result of the Viceroy's scheme for taxation in order to raise revenue for the construc- tion of the Canton-Hankow Rallroad. The merchants’ guilds are determined on a retaliatory strike, and the Vice- roy threatens the leaders with decapi- tation. Three Chinese gunboats have been summoned here from snn‘hu.

Barry em- ploys from 200 to 3000 men and un- questionably has a more profound knowledge of Russian conditions than any other American in the empire. He is convinced that the Russian people are not ripe for a fyll constitutional regime. The opening of the floodgates of agitation by the publication of the imperial reform manifesto only served to demoralize a portion of the masses, who had already been disturbed by the agitators. Barry said: “The ignorant masses really have none of the political aspirations at- tributed to them by theé agitators, but, owing to their poverty, they are easy prey to the appeals for liberty, which for them means license. That they neither understand nor care for true pelitical rights is shown by the fact that in Moscow less than 10 per cent and in the provinces got over 2 per cent the qualified voters will register. Consequently it be taken for granted that the National Assembly will be overwhelmingly Conservative and will become an institution to reg- ister the decrees of the Government. This {in turn is sure to drive into the ecamp ! of the extremists the Liberals, the in- tellectual classes and the visionary, im- prictical classes, with ill-digested x- litical ideals, who throughout e crisis and since the issuance of the re- form manifesto have stood idly by, exercising no influence of restraint. The revolutionary agitation will then taken on a more dangerous phase. “Up to the present time it has been a mistake to imagine that the revolu- tionary ideas had taken deep root in the' army. The agitation has been cleverly manipulated to give it that appearance. Like benzine rubbed on the surface, it is very inflammable, but soon evaporates if not set on fire. But aglitators with matches are everywhere. Fiity per cent of the workmen in the cities of Russia will be out of work in 1906. Impoverished, embittered and un- employed, they will wander back to their villages and find willing ears among the hungry peasants for the doctrines of Socialism and the division of property, and crime and lawlessness will flourish. All the conditions will make for desperation and anarchy, in which a revival of the revolutionary agitation will find the best opportunity. The people are incapable, in their lack of culture, of a gradual evolution to a stable, popular reglme. It is impossible to lead them to that efid. Russia will be confronted either by excess of power or excess of liberty. There is no mid- dle way.” a St UPHOLDS THE MONARCHY. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 23.—The atti- tude of the Russian people toward the monarchy, showing that the peasant, as wefl ll the soldier, would be quick to anything directed against the per- son o( the “Little Father,” has been rec- ognized by the constitutional Dmnmuc Republican Stmr North m R‘“’d’“‘" g-; Republicans, though recognizing the acknowledgment of Republican M spell ruin for the party, hed to dodge the issue altogether, but mmmflwm:hmm _Profes- Cdlmnnly,v said: m'mfldl-d and ruin; come, out hvc ot a & | builds up the whole system.

Our people will recognize no other rule.” A change in the historic and funda- mental definition of Russian society is recognized as mecessary in the Govern- ment camp also, and the result of Minis- terial conferences on the subject probably will be the issue shortly of a manifesto elimindting the first article of Russia’s fundamental laws, namely, “the Emper- or's power is autocratic and unlimited,” doing away with the word “unlimited” and thereby recognizing the existence of the rights of the National Assembly. The . peaceful passage of the dreaded “red Sunday’ anniversary yesterday, the apparent impoteney of the active revolu- tionists and the initiation of constructive labors by all the political factions taking part In the electoral campaign, have greatly encouraged the Government. Premier de Witte is confident of his abil- ity to restore order and weather the storm until the convocation of the Na- tional Assembly. The nightmare of a dictatorship Is no longer dreaded by even the most pessimistic. The chief ap- prehension is the financial situation. SR T GRANTS FURTHER LIBERTY, ST. PETERSBURY, Jan. 23.—Notwith- standing their victories over the revelu- tionists and the apparent opportunity to turn their backs on the recently promul- gated reforms, the Emperor and his ad- visers have taken another long step in the diregtion of constitutionaljsm by de- ciding to intrust the first imperial douma with a large measure of constituent pow- lere. The Ministerial Cabinet amnd the council of the empire are now engaged in discussing changes in the organic laws of tne empire and the powers to be con- ferred upon the douma that are comsid- ered necessary to bring these laws into harmony with the spirit of the EmpeTor's manifesto of October 30 and with the nesw path on which Russia has entered. | These changes will be submitted to the douma, when the representatives of the people will be empowered, as they were in 1613, the year in which direction of the empire came under the control, of the Romanofts, to pass judgment upon the fundamental laws of the reaim. VALENCIA OK AUN OF THE PUEBLA Steamship Meets Her Fate While Taking the Place of Vessel That Was Re- cently Disabled at Sea OWNERS VALUE SHIP [ ¥ AT OVER $250,000 Long in Service on Coast, Having Been Engaged in Alaskan and Transport Service in Exciting Days The steamer Valencia was placed on the Puget Sound run on January 5. She took the place of the City of Puebla. which was laid up after her mishap at sea. The Puebla broke her tail shaft off Cape Disappointment on December 30. She left Victoria on that date and had not proceeded on her journey more than elght hours when the accident oc- curred. The tail shaft snapped twain, wrecking the low pressure c der and the low pressure crank.

The Valencia was on her second trip out from this port and left here on the moraning of January 20. She was one of the best known vessels on this coast. She came here first in 1893. She was bought on the eastern coast by the Pa- cific Steam Whaling Company and brought here to be used in the Alaska passenger trade, which at that tim was *booming. In the latter part 1898 she was chartered by the Govern- ment as an army transport and carried part of the First Washington and part of the California Heav§ Artillery to the Philippines. When the Pacific Steam Whoaling} Company went out of the passenger | business, about four years ago, the Valencia was bought by the Pacific Coast Stéamship Company. Although, frequently in this port, it was between Seattle and Alaska that the Valencia, kas been principally engaged sipce si changed owners. She was on the Alaska excursion run last summer and was to have been used this year on the direct run between here and Nome. The Valencia was an iron vessel of 1198 tons register. She was built at Cramps yayd in Philadelphia in 1832 and is valued by her owners at about $200,000. She is insured for about §135,000, and Captain Wallace, superintendent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, said last night that if she had been msured | for $250,000, her destruction would still entail a financial loss to the compan ————————— Elected Lord Mayor of Dublin.
