GENERAL LINEVITCH ANGERS THE CZAR Deprived of Command of the Russian Army in Manchuria. Special Cablegram to The Call and the New { York Herald. Copyright, 1006, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3.—As I told you some time ago, great anger has been sroused at the War Office against Gen- eral Linevitch for sending home the dis- contented reservists. To-day it 1s an- nounced that General Grodekof succeeds him in command in Manchuria. Simul- taneously serious outbreaks of reservists are reported from the Tomsk district, owing to the soldiers finding that the funds for their families had been stolen and that they had been left to starve. In the Perm district peasants are cut- ting down the timber on the properties of Count Strogandet, Prince Galitzin and Prince Shouvaloff. They already consider the land their own and are allotting it among themselves. From all directions promises come of a general rising In the spring. In the Sim- feropol district thirty-two estates and seventy-twd farms have been devastated. In the Baltic provinces a general move- ment for the banishment of all Germans is growing.

COPENHAGEN, F 8.—Queen Alex- andra arrived here this evening duting the progress of a heavy snowstorm. She was met at the depot by King Frederick and members of che royal family and the staff of the British legation. A large crowd saiuted the Queen as the royal carriage left the station for the palace. It has been that the body of King Christian will be conveyed to Ros- kilde by train and accompanied by the royal personages who are to attend tue funeral. ‘.e funeral train will be fol- lowed by another containing those invited to the ceremony. , It was announced to-night that there was a probability that the funeral of King Christian would be postponed un- | til February 21, owing to the desire of some foreign royal personages to attend who cannot arrive here earller.

Strife Arises Over Attempt to Defeat the Dominican Treaty. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Democratic Senators perfected to-day what they be- lfeve to be a compact organization to de- feat the Santo Domin~o treaty and place the minority in a position to compel a strict party vote on other questions likely to arise during the present session. Two resolutions were adopted at a caucus con~ tinuing five hours which the Democrats assert not only will dispose of the Domin- fcan treaty, but will provide the precedent for demanding a united party vote on all questions that may be considerd partisan in their character when two-thirds of the Democratic Senators so decide. The reso- lutions follow: “‘Resolved, That the Senate ought not to advise and consent to the treaty between the United States and the republic of Santo Domingo now pending before the Senate, Bt “Resolved, That if two-thirds of the caucus shall vote in favor of ‘the ‘fore-. going resolution it shall be the duty of every Democratic Senator-to ypte agalnst the ratification of the sa{ditréaty.” ' SEVEN SENATORS ABSHNT. -~ Represented in the caucus were twerity-. six of the thirty-three minority members. Those who were absent were Berry, Clark of Montana, Gearin, McLaurin and Stone, all out of the city. Patterson withdrew before the vote was taken, Teller was excused from voting, and McEnery and Taliaferro absented themselves without explanation. The first resolution was adopted by a vote of 24 to 1, Clark of Arkansas voting in the negative. The second was adopted 20 to 4, Clark of Arkansas, Daniel, Foster and Mallory voting in the negative. The position of the absentees on the treaty as represented in the caucus gives twenty-nine against the treaty, with the position of Clark of Arkansas, McEnery, Patterson and Taliaferro not known save for the public expressions of Patterson in the Senate in favor of the administration policy. The spirit manifested in the caucus and volced by several leading Senators in em- phatic expressions after the caucus ad- journed was that to-day’s action means that the Democrats of the Senate would have a united party on matters deter- mined by two-thirds of their number on questions affecting party policy. Those who do not abide by the caucus decision will not be regarded as Democrats, and the point will be raised against them should they appear in future caucuses of the party. Patterson declined to make any expla- nation of his leaving the caucus. DEMOCRATIC VOTES NEEDED. Tt is supposed’ that all the Republicans will yote for the treaty, and four Demo- cratic: votes are necessary to secure its ratification. There are eighty-nine Sen- ators, there being one vacancy from Dela- ware, and probably one vote, Burton, will not be cast or paired. Therefore fifty- eight votes are necessary for ratification. The Republicans have fifty-five without Burton, and four votes from the opppst- tion will give them the requisite two- thirds. Democratic leaders do not belisve these four votes will be forthcoming, and | express the hope that Senators who may be tavorably disposed toward the treaty :m feel d by the caucus action to- ay. . Nearly every Senator in attendarice had something to say on the subject of mak- ing treaties a question of party policy.

RAILROAD RATE BILL INCLUDES THE EXPRESS COMPANIES. —-_ Nine speeches were made during yesterday’s debate on the railroad rate bill in the Houée, nearly all of the speakers supporting the measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.~— Various phases of the railroad rate question were threshed over in the House to- day in the course of nine speeches which occupied six and a half hours. This concludes the fifth day of the discussion, but the end is mnot yet. Many members on both sides of the House desire to record their views, and general debate will be allowed to continue. # Clayton of Alabama said the legis- fation in principle was as old as the common law. Henry of Texas showed how it was supported by the Consti- tution and the courts. Esch of Wis- ‘consin. wished:: the . bill was br enough tp, incldde the regulation of ex- press compan! Kennedy of Ohio ptesented an argument to contradict the claim that the control of rallways was Interference with private prop- erty. Crumpacker of Indlana believed economic . conditions would still .con- trol_in rate matters, as they should, notwithstanding the granted authority in the bill, which he approved. The debate was opened by Represen- tative Clayton’ of Alabama. Instead of being a new thing, he declared the leg- islative regulations of interstate com- merce to be as old as the common law. The States had always exercised this power to the fullest extent. Congress, he said,” had the same plenary power over interstate commerce and ought to exercise it In restraint of the rallroads apd for the benefit of the public. The necessity for the legislation = was brought about by the tinjust discrimi- nation of the roads through rebates and terminal charges. SPY SYSTEM NOT NECESSARY. Clayton maintained that the Elkins law preventing rebates could not be enforced without an esplonage which was un-American, and sald the present bill would make it possible to obtain information ‘without resort to the spy system, because the books of rallroad corporations would be open to the agents of the commission, “Whether it be communism. anarchy or not, the time will come when the people will rise and follow Willlam J. Bryan to victory.” 2 This was the opening prediction of Henry ®f Texas, who followed Clayton for the bill. He was replying to Sibley’s recent chgracterization of the pending biil. The maximum rate case, he said, settled affirmatively the constitutionality of granting the power to fix rates. He regretted the President’s change of at- titude upon the question. “‘I believe in his honesty and sincerity, but wish he would adhere to his original intention to give power to establish a reasonable rate and leave the question of the maximum rate out of considera- tion,” he FIVE AGES IN RAILROADING. Bach of Wisconsin sald thers were five in America—the age non-sequietur in his rate regulation recommendation. That the recommenda- tion was justified by conditions he showed by review of high rates, rebates and over-capitalization of raflroads. The total of twelve billion capitalization he declared to be half fictitious. - 4 < An interesting anaylsis of business of four great express companies was made gave the commilssion authority over this transportation. _The he sald, carriea tes than fréight.

Harris tells how he was taken from the dormitory at the college, blind- folded and forced to wally for several hundred yards in a ditel His captors walked banks of the ditch on each side of him and forced him to remain in the water. He states that he was then taken from the ditch to a nearby graveyard, tied to a tombstone and severely beaten. Tiv- ing of this sport his tormentors forced him to partially disrobe and “run the gauntlet” while the upper class men whipped him with wet towels. Special Dispatch to The Call.
