RUSSIA HAS BIGJASK AHEAD
Situation on Persian Frontier Grows
More Alarming.
St. Petersburg , April 23. The situ
ation on the 1'eiaian frontier Is consid
ered here to bo steadily becoming
more serious despite the chock to the
Persian brigands April 20 , when ti
Russian forces drove the bandits back
with heavy losses. The tribesmen are
now flocking to the assistance ot the
Shaksetan and Boglivlu tribes , against
whom the operations are being con
ducted.
The tribesmen are Intensely hostile
to the Russians and they mutilate sav
agely the wounded Russians that fall
Into their hands. The brigands are
well armed and the operations against
them consequently are made difficult
for the troops.
The frontier guard Is Inadequate to
cope with the situation and a military
expedition Is required to assist them.
No aid Is expected from Persia , as
the tribesmen neither acknowledge
nor fear the government at Teheran.

PLAN CURRENCY LEGISLATION
_
Caucus of House Republicans to De
cide Fate of Money BUI.
Washington , April 23. A conference
on currency legislation was held be
tween the house and senate leaders
and was attended by Speaker Cannon
and Senator Aldrich. The judgment
of the conference was that the pro
gram lately decided on can be put

caucus of the Republican members of
the house , probably next week , to de
termine the passage of a bill 'creating
a commission to investigate thorough
ly the currency subject and the finan
cial situation of the country in gen
eral and to report on remedial legls
lotion at the next session of congress
It Is further the desire of the house
Republican leaders to put througl.
the Vret'huid bill.

the house Is to enact some pleco of
financial legislation * so that the senate
will have a measure to use as a work
ing basis , all thought of enacting the
Aldrich bill In the form in which It
passed the senate having been aban
doned. The program Is to then have
the senate strike out everything after
the enacting clause In the house bill
and Insert the Aldrich bill. This will
have the effect of throwing the amend
ed bill Into conference and care will
bo exercised' both In the senate and in
the house to appoint as conferees
those who favor some legislation at
this session. It will be the task of
the conferees to patch up from the
Aldrich bill and Vreelnnd bill and the
commission bill , a modified act.

SAYS NAVAL BILL MUST CARRY
MONEY FOR TWO'NEW SHIPS.
FIGHT DUE ON SENATE FLOOR
Poll of Upper House Gives but Twen
ty-Six Votes In Favor of President's
Plan for Four New Battleships ,
Senator Lodge Quits Fight.
Washington , April 23. President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appropri
ation bill should the senate , as did the
house , fail to make any appropriation
for the two battleships which are au
thorized in the measure. The prompt
announcement of this fact to senate
leaders Is regarded as responsible for
the announcement by Senator Hale
that he would propose an amendment
appropriating $7,000,000 towards the
construction of those ships.
The pretldent stated his position on
this point with his usual emphasis
and suddenness upon learning that
the bill , as passed by the house , was
simply a "paper" provision for naval
increase. Authorization of the ships
Was made , but no money carried to
make the provision effective. Such
legislation as this , the president made
known to his numerous congressional
callers , was a travesty as to effective
ness , as well as bearing all the ear
marks of legislative legerdemain , In
tended to make ridiculous his cam
paign for the greater navy.
That the president's ' quick and vig
orous action Is to be effective la evi
denced by the action of Chairman
Hale of the senate naval committee In
announcing that at the proper time
he will offer the $7,000,000 amendment ,
There Is not the slightest Indica
tion that the president has ceased hla
flght for four new battleships , accordIng -
Ing to the evidence of senators who
talked with him recently. Senators
who are with the president In bis flght
on this proposition admit that a care
ful survey of their strength In the
senate glvea but a vote of twenty-air
in that body In favor of President
Roosevelt's naval plan for four ships.
Significance Is attached to this poll
of the senate In that it Is said to show
a loss to the president of some of his
heretofore staunchest supporters In
that body. Senator Lodge Is under
stood to uavo quit the fight for the full
naval program advocated by the presi
dent , and to have given his reasons
personally to the president for so do-
Ing. The loss of the Influence of the
Massachusetts senator la regarded as
responsible for the weakness shown
by the poll , as It Is believed by those
favoring the program that had the
president's senatorial supporters en
tered the flght with the vigor he has
evidenced , hla desire In this direction
might have been realized , '

TEN CHICAGO DELEGATES TAKE
UP JOHNSON BOOM.
BUT THEIR WORK CUT NO ICE
Although Ten of the Chicago Delegates
to the Illinois State Convention Took
up Johnson's Cause Thursday , the
Nebrnskan Won Hands Down ,
Sprlnglield , 111. , April 23. Ten delegates -
gates from Chicago took up the pres
idential nomination boom of Governor
John A. Johnson of Illinois this mornIng -
Ing In a quiet way.
They did not open campaign head
quarters hut began the dissemination
of Johnson literature among the dele
gates.
This work apparently had little ef
fect , however , as the great mass of the
delegates were admittedly In favor of
sending a delegation to Denver In-
structetk to vote for Hryan.
Springtield. III. . April 23. The
Democratic state convention today will
Indorse William J. llryan In the
strongest terms , and will instruct its
del ° gates for him Johnson ot Minnesota
seta will be 'accorded flattering ap
plause whenever his name Is men
tioned , but nothing more substantial
will be offered him at this time. There
la a strong undercurrent of individual
feeling in favor of the Minnesota man ,
but it is not sufficiently crystallized to
allow ot specific action being taken
upon it. There has been anxious in
quiry for "the man with the Johnson
resolution In his pocket , " but he has
so far failed to materialize , and no
body expects that he will be heard
from in the convention. Everything
will go for Bryan and It will go with
a rush. Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago ,
the national commltteeman from this
state , who practically controls the sit
uation , said :
"The convention is all for Bryan.
Nobody Is going to dictate the Bryan
resolution outside the members of the
committee on resolutions and the con
vention Itself. They can make it as
strong as they like and it will go
through. Personally , I will have noth
ing whatever to do with it , beyond doIng -
Ing what I can to help It alon& "

PRESIDENT SIGNSJ.IABILITY BILL
Attorney General Bonaparte Declares
Measure Is Constitutional.
Washington , April 23. President
Roosevelt signed the employers' lia
bility bill , upon receiving an opinion
Irom Attorney General Bonaparte that
the measure was constitutional.
The b5h makes railroads or other
common carriers , while engaged in In
terstate commerce , liable for the In
jury or death of an employe when the
Injury or death results , In whole or in
part , from the negligence of any of the
officers , agents or employes of such
carriers , or by reason of any defect or
insufficiency of equipment. It is pro
vided that In any action brought un
der the piovlsions of the bill the In
jured employe shall not be held to
have assumed the risk of his employ
ment in any case where the violation
by the carrier of any statute enacted
for the safety of the employes con
tributed to the Injury or death ot the
employe. Any contract , rule , regula
tion dr device to enable the carrier to
exempt itself from liability under the
act is rendered' void by a specific
declaration to that end. Provision Is
made , however , that the carrier shall
receive credit for any contribution
made to the employe or his family In
the form of Insurance , relief , benefit
or indemnity. An action for the re
covery of damages must be com
menced within two years from the
date of the cause of the suit.
In his opinion , the attorney general
Indicates that the bill is confined in
Its scope to "common carriers by rail
road , " as distinguished from the act
declared unconstitutional by the su
preme court , which embraced "all
common carriers engaged In Interstate
commerce and foreign commerce. "

Atflerk-an Newspaper Publishers' UHSO-
elation a resolution was adopted
thanking President Roosevelt for his
kindly and courageous message In fa
vor of free pulp and print paper. An
other resolution waa adopted , which
reads as follows :
"Tho American Newspaper Publish
ers' association , comprising represent
atives of dally newspapers printed lit
every section of the country , and gathered -
ered In annual convention , protests
against the subterfuge just designed
by Speaker Cannon and Representa
tive Payne and Dalzcll , creating
committee on paper Inquiry , and thereby -
by blocking the Stevens bill for free
paper and Iree pulp. Wo charge that
this device was inspired In bad faith.
Slnre early In December , 1907 , a com
mittee ol this body has been clamorIng -
Ing at the doors ot tlio ways ami
meiips committee for an opportunity
to sliow the power of Illegal combina
tions of paper makers to raise paper
prices and the effect thereon of exist
ing tariff ri'btrictiuns. Messrs. Payne
and Dalzell have repulsed all such f-
ports. The speaker 01' the house has
{ urned away his face whenever any
member tried to raise the Issue on
the floor of the house. We are now
amazed 10 ( hid that Messrs. Cannon ,
Payne and Dalzell have changed their
tactics and avow a desire to study
the tariff phases of this paper Ques
tion. They say they want the whole
matter Investigated thoroughly , though
they know that such inquiry will carry
over the entire proposition to the next
congress. They now pose an cham
pions who have been eagerly asking
( or that which for four months thay
bad the posver to do and which they
refused. With the utmost respect and
deference for the authority of con
gress , we respectfully state that we
mistrust the committee Just appointed.
We challenge the Intentions of those
who havn thus far succeeded In side
tracking the Stevens bill. We charge
that action on the Stevens bill has
been delayed to the advantage of n
combination of paper makers , who , In
a desperate effort to maintain artificial
prices on a declining market , have
shut down nearly 50 per cent of their
mills and who , by throwing into Idle
ness a considerable number of their
employes , have shown the insincerity
of their professions that the Jarlff
duty on paper was needed to protect
that paper. "
