GENERAL AMNESTY
PRINCIPAL DEMAND OF RUSSIA'S
NEW PARLIAMENT.
TIME IS NOW RIPE FOR REGENERATION
Reply to Address of Throne Is Couched
in Mild Terms but with Earnest
Meaning A Number of
Reforms Sought.
1. General amnesty. '.',,
t. The abolition of the -death pen
alty. 3. The suspension of martial law
and all exceptional laws.
4. Full civil liberty.
5. The abolition of the council of
the empire:
6. The revision of the' fundamental
law.
7. The establishment of the respon
sibility of ministers.
8. The right of interpellation.
9. Forced expropriation of land.
10. Guarantees of the rights of
trades unions.
These are the 'principal reforms
asked of the czar by the new parlia
ment of Russia They are embodied
in the reply to the throne of which thei
following is the opening:
"It has pleased your majesty in your
speech addressed to the people's rep
resentatives to express' your determi
nation Unshakably to preserve the in
stitutions whereby the people have
been called on to exercise legislative
power in conjunction with their 'mon
arch. The parliament regards the
monarch's formal promise to the peo
ple as a sure pledge of that consolida
tion and of thte. further development of
order and legislation in . accordance
with a strictly constittuional basis.
. "The house will for its part, make
every effort to perfect the principle of
popular representation, and to submit
for your majesty's assent a bill relat
ing to such representation basing it,
in accordance with the unanimously
expressed will of the people, on uni-.
versal suffrage.
. "Your majesty's appeal, for common
work for tha good of the fatherland
finds a lively echo in the hearts of the
members of parliament, in ,the consti
tution of which representatives of all
classes and nationalities, are united in
an ardent desire to regenerate Russia
and create a state, or order, on the basis
of all living in peace with one an
other and on the firm pillars of civic
freedom.
"The parliament holds it to be its
duty to point out that the conditions
under which the country lives render
really fruitful work for the renovation
of the best powers of the nation impos
sible. The country has perceived that
the sorest spot on our national life is
the ambltipus power of the officials
who separate the emperor from his
people; and Tias declared 'clearly "arid
unanimously that the renovation of
public 'life is only,,possiba on, the. prin
ciples of freedom, with the' spontan
eous participation of the people in leg
islative power, and in control of legis
lation, through the executive authori
ties." DENIED HABEAS CORPUS.
Supreme Court Considered Lincoln
- . Case Too Small for Its Attention.
In an opinion by Justice Brewer the
supreme court of the United States
denied the petition for a writ of
habeas corpus in the case of James
Lincoln, who was convicted in the
United States district court of Nebras
ka on an indictment charging the un
lawful introduction of liquor into the
Winnebago Indian reservation.
He was found guilty and sentenced
to imprisonment for sixty days and to
pay a fine of $100. His discharge was
asked for on the alleged ground that
the United States court had no juris
diction of the offense charged. In dis
missing the case the court said:
"While this court has authority to
issue writs of habeas corpus for the
discharge of . any person imprisoned
within the limits of the United States
in violation of the constitution or laws
of the United States, yet unless, there
is some special reason calling for the
exercise of such authority,, a party con
victed in the trial court of the United
States should pursue his remedy by
writ of error, and this court cannot be
expected In every case, especially
every petty case of alleged wrongful
conviction, to inquire by habeas cor
pus into the legality of the detention.
"In this case it is held that there
are no special reasons justifying a de
parture trom the ordinary and orderly
mode of procedure."
SOUTH AFRICA TO BE RIVAL.
Great Britain Will Depend Upon It for
Her Cotton.
Addressing the Liverpool, England,
chamber -of commerce, Sir Alfred
Jones, president of the chamber, said
that the British cotton-growing asso
ciation would import this year from
West Africa cotton valued at between
$500,000 and $600,000. He argued that
West Africa would produce shortly
more cotton than Lar.-sashlre required.
The speaker added that African labor
conditions were more economical than
those in America.
SHOCKING DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
''',-':---.: JJ.-i. :-'.'' ''
Wealthy Nebraska Farmer Kills Wife
'. and Then Himself.
Sid Mackey, a prosperous and prom
inent farmer residing near Reynolds
in the southern part of Jefferson
county,' Neb., murdered his wife and
took .his own life.'.
' ; On .the same farm where the suicide
and murderer resided, dwelt his son,
Klrby Mackey, and family. The morn
ing following the tragedy the wife of
the younger Mackey went to the
Swelling 'of her father-in-law arid, see
ing' no one about the place, she en
tered. . She was horrified to find the
lifeless form of Bid Mackey lying upoa
a bed, a bullet hole through his head
and a revolver in his hand. She hur
ried to her own home,, and informed
her .husband of what she had dis
covered. The coroner was summoned :
and hastened to the place. Upon his
arrival further investigation . (. was
made and the dead body of Mrs.
Mackey was found in another, room,
she also having been shot through
th6 head. , "
Mackey was one of the 'most prom
inent and successful farmers in Jeffer
son county. He owaed about 200 acres
of1 splendid land and lived in . a fine
farm house. He was a member of the
beard of county commissioners about
twelve years ago and tad always tak-.
en an active interest in public affairs.
About three years ago his first wife
died and eighteen months ago he was
married to a widow, the woman whose
life he took prior to ending his own.

FAMILY OF NINE MURDERED.
Victims a Preacher,' His Wife and
Seven Children Bodies Cremated.
One of the most horrible crimes In
the history of Florida, if not of the
entire south, was committed ten miles
north of Milton, . An itinerant preacher
named Ackerman, his wife and seven
childreni the eldest about fourteen
years old, were killed and their bodies
cremated in their home, which was
burned by the assassins. The crime
was discovered by parties with whom
Ackerman had an appointment. They
found the house in ruins and the
charred bodies of Ackerman and the
eight otljer members of tfie family
scattered about among the wreckage.
Examinaiton by physicians showed
that Ackerman and his wife had been
struck on the head with some blunt
instrument, their skulls being crushed.
The citizens 'of Milton have raised
more than a thousand dollars which
will be offered as a reward for the ap
prehension of the assassins, and Gov
ernor Broward has been appealed to
to offer a reward for the state.
: Ackerman is hot known to have had
any enemies. . .
NAVAL RECORDS PUBLISHED.
Advance Sheets on Encounters Dur
ing Rebellion.
The navy department has issued the
advance sheets of series 1, volume 20
of the official records of the unioa
and confederate navies of the war of
the rebellion, compiled by Charles S.
Stewart, superintendent of the library
and naval war records. This publica
tion covers the period of time from
March 15 to December 31, 1863, giv
ing the operations of the we3t. gulf
blockading squadron. The .period was
one of the greatest importance to the
naval historian, covering, as it does,
the operations of Farragut and Porter;
the operations at Port Hudson, th3
destruction of the Queen of the West;
the Sabine Pass and Rio Grande ex
peditions; naval operations in de

Lincoln May 21 and 22, when the cele
brated Theodore Thomas orchestra of
Chicago will give three concerts.., The
Thomas orchestra is the greatest or
ganization of its kind in America. It
has been in existence since 1870 and
has probably done more for the musi

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
AFTER PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
LEAVES OEFICB IN 1909. '
MAY ' MAKE WORLD TOUR:
President and His Associates in Their
Fondness for Athletics The
American Soldier in San
Francisco.
ASHINGTON. Po
litical prophets in
Washington, are
trying, to find,, a
place for Presi
dent Roosevelt aft-
' er he goes out of
office in 1909. One
1 ingenious writer
has predicted the
election of Secre
tary, of War Taft
to the presidency, and , declares
that Theodore Roosevelt would, be
Mr. Taft's secretary of state.' This
arrangement " has caused President
Roosevelt considerable amusement and
has excited the risibilities of men in
public life generally. '
The most frequently expressed opin
ion , in political circles, is . that Mr.
Roosevelt is more likely to . come to
the senate from New York than he is
to fill any other position Senator
Piatt's term will expire on March 3,
1909, the date oh which Mr. Roosevelt
will cease to be president of the
United States.. Mr. Piatt is not a can
didate for reelection, and if Mr. Roose
velt enters the field it is admitted that
no one will oppose him. The senate
would be a congenial field, after two
terms in the White House. Some of the
older members of the senate who have
not had the most pleasant relations
wtih Mr. Roosevelt as president are
already grinning in anticipation of the
fun they will, have in hazing the new
senator from New York. Those .who
know the president do not doubt that
he will be able to take good care of
himself when the hazing begins.
After Mr. Roosevelt retires from the
presidency even though he is elected
a senator from New York it is believed
that his plans contemplate a, tour oi
the . world. He. could starti at once
and do this tour, before the beginning
of the regular session of congress fol
lowing. It is admitted that no one.
not even Grant, has received greater
honors than would be accorded to Mr.
Roosevelt by all the great foreign na
tions he- would visit. His reputation
as the great; peacemaker .of the world
would insure 'him a triumphal tour.
Martha Washington's Bible.
HSRE was recent
ly restored to its
rightful owner one
of the most inter
esting relics ' o;
colonial and' revo
lutionary times.
The long los Bible
of Martha Wash
ington, which was
taken from the
home of the ' Lee
family at Arlington during the civil
war. was a few days ago restored by
O. W. Kendricks, of Philadelphia, to.
Miss Mary. Custis Lee, . daughter of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, , the commander
of the confederacy. The wanderings
of this old volume will never ' be
known. 1 Mr. ' Kendricks, Who is a
book collector, bought the Bible many
years ago from a man named Stein.
It was probably stolen, as, were many
other treasures from the Lee mansion,
by . the servants and . soldiers, and
pawned for, a trifling sum by persons
Ignorant of its value.
The book has been kept with great
care and is in fine condition. Its black
leather cover shows few scratches. A
few pages are torn, but the ink is still
unfaded, and many leaves and flowers
pressed by members of the Lee, fam
ily are still in it. The Bible was print
ed in London in 1702 by "Charles Bill
and tfte Executrix of Thomas New
comb, deceased, printers to the King's
most excellent Majesty." - It contains
the "Order fn Morning Prayer
Throughout the Year," including the
communion service, the articles, of re
ligion, the Old . and New Testaments,
with the Apocrypha, the metrical ver
sion of the Psalms and the table of
kindred affinity.
The Bible does not contain the rec
ord of the marriage of Martha Custis
to George Washington. The- earliest
birth reported is that of Fannie Park
Custis, in 1710. The marriage of Dan
iel Parke Custis to Martha Dandrfdge,
afterward Martha Washington, is re
corded as hiving occurred in 1750. ,
Good Athletes. '
N PRESIDENT
Roosevelt's i c a b -inet
there are sev
eral men who can
hold him level in
certain lines of
athleties, although
the president has
the reputation of
being the greatest
all-round athlete
among public
men in Washington. He does not
boast of particular skill in any sport
except wrestling. In that he has quite
a record. He is a vary good ' rider,
a, good boxer, a fairly good shot, aad
a very fair tennis player. He gets
most ot hla exercise, however, in
wrestling and boxing, and if he cannot
persuade any of his friends to stand
up against him he will have some ath
letic instructor, come to the White
House and try a few rounds with him
with the gloves. ' -
Two ji -Jus cabinet have fine athletic
up
recprds. They are Attorney General
Moodyand Secretary or Commerce and
Labo'r Metcalf".,' Moody is one of the
most enthusiastic baseball cranks in
the country. - When he was, nt college
he was a crack player himself. He .
was captain of . the Andover baseball
team In 1S72, and played with the
'Varsity nine at Harvard for four
years. If. -hp gets the oportuDlty he
still likes to play the game, but just
,now he takes most of his exercise in
horseback riding". ;' - -;
Secretary Metcalf made quite a rec
ord as an oarsman on the Yale crew
away back in 1875-6. When he went
to California in 1880 he became a
member of the Olympic club, of San
Francisco. He was one of. the -crack
boxers of the club;' "and at one', time,
held the middleweight amateur cham
pionship -A San Francisco for .wrest
ling: SHe does not indulge in any ' of
this violent exercise now, as he has
not been in good health for some time,
and he, like Moody, confines himself
to riding and walking. First Assist
ant Postmaster General Hitchcock is
one of the greatest athletes in public"
life. He has a fine record as a base
ball player, but his specialty is box
ing. He is more than six-feet tall,
very quick, and has an unusually long
reach.
Confidence Restored.
HE United States
army has won new
laurels by the part:
it has played , in-
. SanFransicso. The
authorities at . the
'war . department,'
however, ' are' of
' the opinion that it
75"""S' I has' ' about com- '
&k' .pleted Its - work
' there. Secretary
Taft is opposed to the .policy :Of retain
ing any number of troops in San Fran
cisco engaged in .the work of relief and
restoration.. He believes that these
duties should be taken up by the citi
zens of San Francisco themselves. The
longer' the aimy stays there the more
danger there is of conflict of author
ity between the municipal officials and
the , officers of the. army. , It Is also
felt that , the people of San Francisco
would be much more self-respecting if
th'ey are shouldered with the respon
sibility of maintaining order and re-'
lieving the Suffering. '
- The conduct of the army officers and
men in tha great disaster-, in San
Francisco has done much to restore to
the army the confidence and respect of
the. people, and particularly of mem
bers of congress. It had become the
habit of some congressmen and sena
tors on all occasions to decry the
American soldier. When the news came
of the wiping out of the ' Moros at
Mount Dajo in the fhl " r"tne3 there
was a renewal of the criticism of the
army and .in outcry ; against the . bru
tality and cruelty of the soldiers. This
has all -been hushed. "When the same
soldier, because those stationed on
the Pacific coast aire of the same army
that has occupied the ' Philippines,
went into the burning city, rescued
men, women and 'children, went hun
gry that others might eat, and neith
er slept nor rested night nor oay
there was nothing heard about the
brutal soldiers.
The employment of the army in this
work"was without warrant Of law, but
no violation of red tapeism ever met
with so hearty approval or commanded
so much respect in congressional and.
administration circles where the wel
fare of the soldier is , supposed to. be
in charge. ' .
A New Fertilizer.
ECRETARY T&IL
son's ' department
of agriculture is
constantly discov
ering sonietning
that is destined to
be of benefit to
the farmer. Just
now the scientists
in ' that depart
' ment are some
what excited over.
the supposed discovery of a new sup
ply of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Here'tofore
the whole supply of carbonate of pot
ash fertilizer has Home from Germany,
but. Dr-VCushtnan, Of the roads' Office in
the . agricultural department, believes
that he has found something in this
country that will completely supplant
the, German fertilizer. ' ;.
Last summer when Dr. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material in his laboratory he ex
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock a large percentage of pot
ash. He extracted this potash by elec
tricity, but he concluded ' that ' ' as
ground rock is very Cheap, it might be
worth while to . try the experiment of
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried "ft on his own farm, and
found that the powdered rock did act
ually act as a fertilizer., -
The commercial value of imported
fertilizer is about $i00 a ton. It is
necessary in the tobacco fields and a
number of other crops require it. The
ground rock, on fhe other hand, can, be
produced for about three dollars a
ton, and there is so much of it in the
country that runs highjn potash, and
is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered. It takes
about twice as much of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results as
the imported fertilizer, but even then
the difference in the price of $6 and
100 is evidently a great card in fa
vor of the native material. , The scien
tists at the agricultural department re
gard this as a very important dis
covery. Burmese Inch.
