8T. PETERSBURG, May 15.-1:30 a. m.
The widely heralded May day demonstra
tions In St. Petersburg were a complete
fiasco and reports from Moscow and the
provinces Indicate that order reigned on
Sunday generally throughout the entire ex
tent of KusHia. Minor disorders are re
ported at Reva!. Klchlnef and one or two
cither places, but up to midnight no re
ports of serious tumults or loss of life have
been reported, nor the attempts of the
several societies or Uia socialists to signal
ize May day by great anti-government
demonstrations appear to have been a
thorough failure.
Dispatches from Kazan, Tlfils, Saratof,
Cronstadt, Rostov-on-Don,' Kleff, Vologda,
Tomsk and other cities, say the workmen
observed the day as a holiday, that the
shops were closed and that quiet was not
disturbed.
Workingmen Remain Away.
In St. Petersburg the day was passed In
almost perfect quiet and happily without a
drop of blood being shed. The revolution
arles found it impossible to execute the
program of demonstrations and bomb
throwing which they do widely advertised,
the workingmen declining to sacrifice them
selves to advance the propaganda of their
lelf-constltuted leaders and the advertised
meetings were attended chiefly by spec
tators. Governor General Trepoft handled
the situation firmly, but with a view to
avoiding collisions and made his dlsposl
tlons skilfully. Squads of Cossacks pa
trolled the streets, reserves being held out
of sight In courtyards and the guard regi
ments were retained under arms in their
barracks, but there was no occasion to call
out either.
The Associated Press correspondent, who
rode through all sections of the city and
suburbs, found the streets perhaps less
thronged than usual. More or less tension
and agitation were apparent in the in
dustrial quarters among workmen prom
enading under the eyes of Cossacks with
whips in their hands, but otherwise the
city wore almost a normal appearance.
The weather was cold and raw, which
perhaps, acted as a deterrent of trouble,
us Russians dislike physical discomfort.
I'viiscki Disperse Crowds.
At the Freobrajennky cemetery, where
the principal meeting, in honor of '"The
January Martyrs," as the victims of "Red
Bunduy" are popularly called, had been ad
vertised, a Bcanty crowd, largely composed
of curiosity seekers, assembled. Cossacks
dispersed the crowd, the more aggressive
of whom sang the "Marseillaise," as they
were crossing the fields. This defiance was
met by a charge of Cossacks, who used
their whips freely, inflicting many nasty
Injuries. There was a similar incident on
Vnssill Island, where a dozen students,
mainly girls, sang the "Marseillaise," and
gathered a crowo. Cossacks cantered up
apd dispersing the crowd with whip, seem
ing to take pleasure in slashing the girl
Students with their whips, but the latter
evidently w?re anxious to pose as martyr
and deliberately provoked attack by sing
Ing revolutionary songs. The affair gave
rise to rumors that a number of persons
had ueen killed, but in the incident which
happened undt-r the eyes of the Associated
Press correspondent, sabres were not even
drawn, and nobody was seriously hurt.
The day wound up by a tumult in one
of the people's parks where, while merry
makers were dancing Russian national
dances, agitators scattered proclamations
among tho crowd and drove a scanty guard
of police Into a shallow artificial lake. Cos
sacks came up at a gallop, wielding their
whips, rescued the police and made Humor
ous arrests.
l'rcstlae of Socialists Suffers.
The prestige of the social democrats and
revolutionists has suffered greatly by Sat
urday's occurrences, but they were trying
last night to retrieve It by issuing a mani
festo carrying out the plan to carry a
manifesto to the emperor, and proclaiming
u Btrlke today. The leaders were so confident
of success that they prepared a number
of bandage stations in the neighborhood
of the various advertised meetings to ren
der service to the victims of the expected
rioting, l'art of the onus of their failure
rests upon Father Gapon, who sent a mes
sage from abroad to tho leaders of his old
organization, saying: ' 1X nothing until 1
return."

JESSIE BARTLETT DAVIS DEAD
Well Known Actress Passes Away
Suddenly at Her Home In
Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 14. Jessie Bartlett Davis,
the well known actress, died suddenly at
her home in this city today. The cause of
her death was heart disease produced by
nephritis. She was taken ill on Friday
and on Saturday morning became uncon
scious, from which condition she never re
covered. When her physicians first di
agnosed her illness as nephritis on Friday
no alarming symptoms were apparent, but
on Saturday morning she grew suddenly
worse and continued to sink until 6:30 this
morning, when she died.

tho stage while, she was connected with
the Bostonlans. Her first engagement was
in the role of "Ruttercip" in "Pinafore,"

Cloudbursts and heavy rains have been
playing havoo with railroad schedules In
Nebraska for the last two or three days
and the prospects are that the trouble is
not all settled this morning.
Saturday morning at about 6:30 the worst
storm in years broke over the country sur
rounding Kearney. For ft space of about
twenty minutes hall and rain came down
in torrents. At Elm Creek station, where
the Union Pacific crosses Elm creek the
water washed out about 1,400 feet of the
Union Pacific track.
Superintendent Ware had gone to Kear
ney Saturday morning and set a large
force to work to repair the track which Is
the main line of the Union Pacific. Iirge
numbers of ties were used and the washout
was temporarily rebuilt with cribbing senf
fold, so that at 9 o'clock Sunday morning
trains were run across. '
Five trains were blocked to the west
of the washout and six to the east and
these were gradually worked across the
washout and started on their Journey, the
first reaching Omaha abolit twenty-one
hours late. Two of the fast trains were
run back to Grand Island and sent over
the Burlington to Denver. Trains due In
this city from the west Saturday evening
and Sunday morning arrived here last
night from 6 to 11.
There has been no train through from
Montana and the' Black Hills on the Bur
lington since Friday and there are still
several washouts ahead of the first train
that is working its way eastward. Burling
ton officials say that they expect the first
train from the Black Hills to reach Lincoln
about 4 o'clock Monday morning. Whether
this train will be able to reach Omaha
the officials say they do not know, as the
Platte river Is about three miles wide at
Ashland. The washouts on tho Burlington
are between Ravenna and Grand Island.
Three washouts had been repaired before
midnight Sunday night and there were
more to be encountered.
Hi-Kvy rains north of Columbus are re
sponsible for the swollen condition of the
Platte, as well as the storm around
Kearney.
It Is reported from Norfolk that over a
mile of Union Pacific track was washed
away near Madison.
Half of the temporary wagon bridge
across the Platte river near Fremont was
carried away by a torrent which today
came down that stream from the west,
flooding the lowlands west of town.
The Burlington has a bad washout of
track on Its line between Grand Island
and Cairo, and the southbound Pacific
coast express was delayed there nearly
eight hours.
There was a heavy rain tonight In Lin
coln and southeast Nebraska.
Floods in North Nebraska.
NORFOLK, Neb., May 14. (Special Tele
gram.) The Elkhorn river tonight is the
highest for fifteen years and is still rising.
This morning the dike near here sprung
several small leaks and an alarm was
sounded. By quick work the citizens pre
vented the destruction of the levee by use
of sandbags. The water and electric light
plants are having trouble keeping the water
pumped out of their fire pits and should the
river go much higher the city will be
without water or light.
About 1,000 feet of track on the Scribner
and Oakdale branch of the Northwestern
railway 's washed out near Albion and
traffic is practically suspended. The dam
at West Point is said to be In danger.
Filled to overflowing by the continued
heavy rains of all last week, to say noth
ing of the entire month of May, the rivers
and creeks of north Nebraska are tonight
more than bankfull and are threatening
trouble in many portions of the section.
Tho Elkhorn has not been so high In years
as it is now, having flooded over its chan
nel in many places and inundated hun
dreds of acres of ground. Mills in places
have been forced to stop running and dams
are endangered. Bridges are threatened
and the water has cut around them In
some places. At Battle Creek a big wagon
bridge, Just recently repaired. Is again
in danger and is being carefully guarded.
Fields between the Rosebud reservation
and Norfolk and between Sioux City and
Norfolk and between Long Pine and Nor
folk are transformed Into lakes in many
low spots. South of Atkinson the farmers
have given up all thought of planting crops
this season. Considerable damage was
done in Norfolk's residence portion by the
overflow of a gulch leading into tho city
from northwest hills. Pretty lawns wero
made patches of mud, sidewalks were
floated away and cellars under many homes
are filled to the brim with dirty, slimy
water.

TOULON, May 11 The nutnhnat race
from Algiers to Toulon has ended unfor
tunately, all of the boats participating in
the second stage of the run from Port
Mahon to this port being either sunk or

still many miles from the finish. Tho ar
rangements for escorting the craft, how
ever, were efficiently organized and so far
as known there has been no loss of life.
The seven racers left Fort Mahon Saturday
morning at 4 o'clock for Toulon. A tor
pedo boat destroyer accompanied each auto
boat, whllo two cruisers followed. Tho sea
was somewhat rough at the start and soon
became worse. The "competing boats were
unahle to withstand the violence of the
storm nnd requested the warships to tow
them. Shortly afterward the Mercedes C.
P. sank, men from the torpedo boat de
stroyer Hallehardo rescuing its crew. The
cruiser La Hire hoisted the flat and Its

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-E. E.
Conger, former American minister to China,
arrived here today from the orient on tho

panied by his wife, v
It is Mr. Conger's Intention to proceed
almost immediately to Mexico, unless he
receives orders to the contrary, but Mrs.
Conger will first return tocher home at
Des Moines, la. Mr. Conger said that diplo
matic matters in China are In a satisfac
tory condition. As to China's neutrality
In the Russo-Japanese war he said:
China has been always disposed to mnln
tain the strictest neutrality between the
warring nations, and although there has
been much criticism, I believe the Chi
nese government has never shown par
tiality one wav or the other, but has al
ways adhered to the, requirements of the
international law.
Mr. Conger was asked concerning the
periodical rumors of Boxer uprising and
replied:
There Is absolutely no truth In such re
ports. There Is no danger of another
Boxer outbreak. Of course there are oc
casional troubles In the Interior, but they
arise from purely lool causes which have
no hearing on the presence of foreigners.
There Is no organized movement in China
against the foreign people. There never
hss been a time wlyv the Chinese gov
ernment was better p;i pared to put dow-1
any organized effort against any foreigner.

WASHINGTON. May ll.-Two rnrties of
foreign delegates to the International Rail
way congress, which closed its seventh
session here yesterday, left Washington
tonight on tours of the United States. The
parties include about 300 delegates and
occupy four special trains. One party will
reach New York on May 23. after having
visited Altoona. Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buf
falo, Niagara Falls, Schenectady and Bos
ton. The other Is due In New York on
May 27, stopping at Altoona, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Niagara
Falls, Montreal, Saratoga, Schenectady and
Albany. The foreign delegates, who in
clude representatives of many European
and other governments and railways, were
traveling in the United States as guests of
tho American Railway association.
Resolution on Tariffs.
The conclusions adopted by the Inter
national Railway congress, which closed Its
seventh session hero yesterday, were offi
cially announced today. The most Interest
ing of the conclusions related to railway
rates, on which alter a prolonged discus
sion In which every country In which rail
ways are operated was represented, the
congress unanimously expressed Its con
clusions as follows:
Tariffs should bo based on commercial
principles, taking Into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
values of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged
without arbitrary discrimination to all ship
pers alike, under like conditions, the limit
ing of rates should as far as possible have
all tho elasticity necessary to penult the
development of the traffic and to produce
the greatest results to tha public and to
the railroads themselves.
These conclusions were ratified at the
close of the session, after President Roose
velt's speeches had been a topic of discus
sion and two days after Secretary Tuft's
address on freight rates at the banquet of
the congress. Regarding methods of treat
ing railway sleepers, chemically or other
wise, to protect them against deterioration
by wear and by the elements and In that
way to lessen the demands upon the coun
try's forest supply, It was determined that
some method of preserving sleepers is
desirable, and it was urged that careful
records of experiments should ho kept.
With regard to locomotives, the conclus
ion was that "the power of locomotives
is more limited in Europe than in America
owing to the lower allowance of weight
per axle. European engineers generally
agree In thinking that compounding the
construction of engines gives maximum
of power und economy."
There Is a tendency to extend the use
of Bteamhenting in many countries, tho con
gress found. To obtain sufficient heat for
long trains when the temperature is par
ticularly low, it was deemed advisable
to uso special pipes or to mix compressed
air with the steam.
Development of Ilrancb Honda,
Light railways (branch roads) merit in
the highest degree the attention of public
authorities. The report concludes: "Their
construction makes it possible to encour
age the developments in districts which
have previously remained In the back
ground, and It Is accordingly not only
the Interest hut the duty of tho govern
ments to assist them. It is desirable,
therefore, not to adhere to old types and
old methods of construction, operation
and regulation, but to Introduce every fa
cility possible, adaptable to local needs
and available resources. It is also desir
able that state government and local au
thorities should accord to light railways,
either under the form of subsidies relaxa
tion of requirements, or other methods
of assistance, the support which they need
for construction and for operation, so that
all parts of the country may be adequately
served."
The congress expressed the wish that the
present tendency of legislation to estab
lish more liberal regulations for lines with
small traffic, and light trains may become
more general and that the efforts of the
managements to equip their light traffic
lines with a more economical organiza
tion which promise to give remarkable re
sults, be continued.

COMBINATION AGAINST HOLMES

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 14 (.Spccial.)-Elrst dis
trict politicians are turning their attention
to the congressional contest which will
come to a focus ut Falls City, June 1. A
very large percentage of Inncaster county
republicans believe that Judgo E. I'.
Holmes can be nominated because of the
numerical preponderance of this county,
but there are already disconcerting rumors
of an alliance between Cass, Otoe, Nemaha
and Richardson counties. In that event
Johnson and Pawnee counties would have
tho balance of power.
Representative Wilson Is slated to have
the Tawnee county delegation, and the
governor's private secretary, A. B. Allen
will have his home county. As a result
of the critical places occupied by their
delegations in the convention, these gentle
men are believed to have fairly good pros
pects, although a story current at the
present time is to the effect that Allen has
his eyes fixed on the gubernatorial man
sion. This he denies with much emphasis.

UNIONS MARCH WITH DRAPED BANNERS
Strikers Make Knneral of Member
Killed by Depnty herlff tha
Occasion of a Peaceful
Demonstration.
CHICAGO, May 14. Unless compromises
are offer 'd by all the opixising Interests
In the light now ill progress in Chicago
between capital and labor, the teamsters
strike will spread many fold during the
next forty-eight hours. The refusal of the
Teamsters' Joint council, representing .15.000
union drivers, to nccedo to the demands
of tho Chicago Ten m Owners' association
to handle merchandise for all houses hnv
Ing contracts with the members of the
owners' association, without discriminat
ing against the firms involved in the pres.
ent strike, has brought the controversy to
a point whim a speedy settlement will
have to be made to prevent an extension
of tho trouble.
There Is a probability, however, thnt the
whole trouble may be satisfactorily ad
Justed without resorting to such drastlo
measures. After receiving tho announce
ment of the Teamsters' Joint council re
fusing to obey the ultimatum of the Team
Owners' r.ssoclntion, a meeting of tho lat
ter organization was held and It wns de
cided to give the teamsters more tlmn
to consider the proposition. At first It
wns tli intention of the team owners to
put their ultimatum Into effect tomorrow
morning, but, believing that tho teamsters
could be Induced to change their minds,
they were given until Tuesday to make
final answer to tho proposition.
Teamsters Meet Tonight.
Information which the team owners say
they received today that the Teamsters"
Joint council was not a unit last night. In
its determination to fight the owners, was
given by the owners ns the reason for
the postponement of the enforcement of
the ultimatum until Tuesdny. That last
night's decision of the teamBters will b
reconsidered was evidenced tonight when a
call was sent out for another meeting of
the Teamster's Joint council for tomorrow
night. In addition to this meeting of the
officials of tho Teamsters' union, another
call wns Issued today for a meeting on
Tuesday of the executive committee of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
This committee is the controlling body of
the teamsters' organization and it Is this
body of officials that orders, or has tha
final word In the settlement of a strike
of their members.
Cab Drivers Will Strike Today.
The Chicago Joint Liverymen's associa
tion has become involved In the trouble
and a strike of the 2,000 drivers employed
by this organization Is Imminent. The
trouble was brought about by the union
carriage drivers refusing to carry patrons
of the nssorlatlori to the strike bound de
partment stoi'es.
A statement was given out by the as
sociation tonight that commencing tomor
row tho men would bo compelled to carry
all patrons to their destination and that a
refusal meant Immediate discharge. The
officials of the Cab Drivers' union declared
tonight that their men would all be ordered
on strike If but even one member of their
union was discharged for refusing to obey
tho command of tho association. Should
this strike bo called it will involve the
hearso drivers, and, it was said tonight,
would necessitate the use of mounted
guards to escort funerals to outlying ceme
teries, should It be necessary to use non
union drivers.
Another Victim of Strike..
Another death was added to the list of
strike victims today. In a controversy
arising out of the strike between John
Cahlll and two companions, with James
Jennings, colored, the latter was shot in
the head and killed. Cahlll, who did the
shooting and who is under arrest, declares
that he killad the negro in self-defense.
While arguing over the merits of the
strikers and the strike breakers, Cahlll
says, Jennings rushed at him with a club
ami knocked hlni down. Cahlll says tha
negro was about to strike him again when
he drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired. Tho bullet struck Jennings in tha
face and he died instantly.
P. Iagrogoiis, owner of a lunch wagon.
In front of which the shooting took place,
was attacked by rrlonds of Jennings later
in the day and beaten until he was un
conscious. Lagrogoris' condition, is serious -and
ho will probably die.
March with. Draped Banners.
Marching with draped banners and muf
fled drums over 2,uoi union men followed
the remains of Strike Victim Georgo 8.
Pierce from Ids late home to the Union
station here today. Thu body was taken
over the Pennsylvania railroad to Louis
ville, Ky., for burial.
No funeral services were held hero, but
tli escorting of the bmiy to the station
was iiiado the occuslou of a labor demon
stration In which not only the Teamsters'
union, but organised labor generally par
ticipated. The progress of the cortege was
without incident. Thu men marching sol
emnly four abreast, each on his coat lapel
a white button with tho Inscription in black
"We inourii the loss of a murdered
brother."
Even the spectuclo of three coal wagons
niunned by nonunion negroes near the
Union station elicited no moro than mut
terings as the columns tiled by. The ouJy
break in the serious mien of tho men oc
curred when a patrol wagon, called In an
ticipation of trouble by two policemen in
charge of the coal wagons, galloped onto
the scene. Three cheers and handclapping
mingled with shouts f derision broke out
along the line for a block. But there was
no work for the police.
' 1 ii lou Olllclala Attend.
The procession formed in thu vicinity of
the Pierce home, IHO South Cuntral avenue,
at H o'clock In the morning. Immediately
following the caniui;e bearing the aged
