member of the Russian staff, being asked
why the Russian ships took the risk of
essaying the Tsu Strait, said:
" 'We were confident of victory. Reach
ing Vladivostok was not the only object
of our fleet. Thol emperor commanded us
on leaving the Baltic to fight and defeat

RUSSIAN CZAR IS STIFF-NECKED
Disasters Hare Not MOTed III in from
Hla Former Stand.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 5. -The Rus
sian government has shown that It has
not weakened In this hour of disaster. In
stead of yielding to the stormy demands
which the radicals hoped Admiral Rojest
vensky's defeat would force the government
t accept, the government Issued a ukase
giving greatly Increased powers to General
Trepoff, making him assistant minister of
the interior, also chief of tho department
ol the police and commander of the corps
of the gendarmerie '; General Trepoff Is
given the right by the ukase to close all
assemblies and congresses, to suspend In
definitely all societies, leagues and other
bodies manifesting pernicious activity and
to. take all other steps necessary to pre
serve order so aa to prevent Jnterferenco
with tho established regime and to suppress
the revolutionary propaganda.
This ukase, which entrusts almost dictato
rial powers to the head of the Imperial
police, to control the agitation now almost
peremptorily demanding a constitutional
representative government and the sur
retider of the vital principles of the autoc
racy, and to put down disorders with which
the revolutionaries are threatening the
country, makes him responsible to the em
lror. (The document Is of the deepest Impor
tance to the present state of Russia and
Indicates that tho government, while stead
ily proceeding in Us plans for the fulfill
' inent of the imperial promises contained
in the rescript of March 3, is determined
not to be swerved from Its purpose by the
pressure of military and naval disasters,
but In Its own time and aa speedily as
possible to give tho nation the legislative
body on which the Boullgan commission
has been working.
In It perhaps also may be read the In
timation that the war will continue and
that the question of peace will not be sub
mitted to a acmsky aabor.
According to the Russ the result of the
labbrs of the Bouligan commission, which
has now been printed and submitted to
the Commissioners, does not embody a def
inite plan for. the organisation and f mic
tions of a new governmental body, but
rather a collection and classification of the
necessary data tor the formation of an as
sembly, giving alternative views of the
various points In dispute and leaving the
final decision In the hands of the ministers.
The material gathered by the -commission
has been grouped under six heads: First,
a historical surrey of the forms assumed
by popuUv representation in Russia from
. ths fifth to the sixth century; second, con
sideration of the effect of the summoning
of popular assembly on the country under
present circumstances; third, the extent to
which suffrage sball be granted, whether
on universal, educational or property quali
fications, and whether classes and occupa
tions should be represented: fourth, the
extent of the assembly's rlghtMo Inter
polate ministers; fifth, the extent of the
assembly's rights oyer ths budget; and
lastly, what provinces of government should
ba removed to the competency of the as
sembly. Thus aothlng regarding the "imperial
douma" has been predetermined, Minister
Boullgan reserving ths right to give his
opinion lo his co-mlnlsters.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 4.-(8peclal.)-The mem
bers of the State Board of Equalization, in
reaching an assessment for VSH, used their
Independent Judgment notw hstandlng the
allegation of the railways that public
clamor,, particularly that of the press, led
to an excessive valuation. ' In discussing
the matter, Governor Mickey, speaking as
a member of the board, says that he used
his own Ideas as to the valuation, because
under the law It la not only his privilege,
but his duty to act independently. None
of the board members deny that the de
mands of the public and the press had
their effect, but only In' encouraging the
board to break away from the old-time
precedents of railway assessment which
favored the corporations at the expense of
other taxpayers. In the past It had been
the custom to listen to the advice of tho
railway men and then affix a valuation to
which the tax commissioners would agree.
The rights of the people were Ignored, and
the effect of the public clamor was to
awaken In the members a fuller realiza
tion of their duties to delye Into the situa
tion and get at the truo, honest value.
W. O. Jones of the State Journal and H.
T. Dobbins of the Evening News have been
summoned to appear as witnesses In the
railway Injunction cases at, Omaha, It Is
believed that the railways are seeking ev
idence of the publlo clamor which their
petition alleges led to an excessive assess
ment. Woodmen Hold Memorial Service.
The annual Modern Woodmen memorial
service was held this afternoon at ths

SHIPS ATTACK WASHINGTON

Imply Sparring; tor Points Between

Land Defenses on the
Other.
WASHINGTON.' Jun 4. Sixteen war
Ships will attack the defenses of Washing
ton and Baltimore at midnight June 11, and
continue their ofTenflve operations for six
days and nights. Meanwhile the fortresses
along Cliesnieake . bay and the Potomac
river, constituting the artillery districts of
the Chesapeake, Washington and Baltimore
will put forth every defense of which they
are capable. With It all, the struggle Is
to be bloodless, practically noiseless, de
void of the spectacular and Intensely In
teresting only to the army and navy ex
perts who are playing the game and know
the constructive effect of the unloaded
mines and the empty shells.
These exercises are to constitute the only
Joint operations of the army and navy
during the year. They have been desig
nated "Joint exesclscs" to distinguish them
from the more elaborate program of "com
bined army and navy maneuvers," which
was first planned, but which failed of
approval for lack of an adequate appro
priation from congress. The operations are
to be conducted under rules which havo
been agreed upon by a Joint board of army
and navy officers. Considerable Importance
Is attached to the distinction between
maneuvers and Joint exercises. Maneuvers
are held to npply to operations where
actual war conditions are simulated, while
exercises mean only that certain prescrlbod
problems are to be attempted.
In the present instance the object of
each of the several forms of attack by the
navy, will be to demonstrate the strength
or weakness of each particular phase
of the defense. The results will be known
only at the conclusion of the exercises, and
then known only to the proper authori
ties. This precaution is emphasized as Im
portant that the character and strength
of the various defenses may not become
known to possible enemies of the country.
Not a Knockont Flarht.
None of the ships of the navy will be
ruled out of the action by the umpires, and
none of the guns of. the fortifications will
be declared silenced.
From the Information obtainable, the
program first contemplates the test of
Fortress Monroe. Expert artillery opinion
has long held that thls'fortress Is the prin
cipal defense of tho Chesapeake, and con
sequently the cities of Washington and
Baltimore. Her big guns are said to cover
the channel completely, and together with
the mine fields, to constitute a barrier that
would be Impassable to any hostile fleet.
This mine field has been extended for the
present exercises, the garrison has been
doubled and extra drills In the manipula
tion of the artillery have been In dally
progress for' some time, and will be kept
up until the date of the exercises.
The "home" fleet has been assembled
under command of Rear Admiral Francis
W. Dlcklns, and with his flagship, the
Texas. Is lying at Annapolis. On the 10th
of June Admiral Dlcklns will hold hla last
communication with shore. He will not
divulge his plans or place of first attack,
but It Is the supposition that he will put
sea, having technically established a base
at Norfolk: His squadron consists of the
battleship Texas, -under command of Cap
tain Bleknell; the protected cruisers New
ark and Atlanta, Commanders Badger and
Halsey, . respectively; the - double turret
monitor j Terror, Commander! Fulton; the
single turret monitors Florida, Arkansas
and" Nevada Commanders Fremont, Gaalt,
and ' Reynolds; the old' line cruiser
Hartford, Commander Veeder; the torpedo
boat destroyers Whipple, Worden, Mc
DonOugh and Stewart under command of
Lieutenants' Chase, McCormlck, CuYtln and
Sellens; the gunboats Hornet, Siren and
Silvia, manned by the Maryland naval
militia, and the monitor Puritan, by the
naval mllltla of the District of Columbia.
Sparring for Points.
Anchor is to be weighed June 5, and
from then on a fascinating game of hide
and seek will be indulged in . between the
artillery and the navy, that the where
abouts of the ships may be definitely
known at midnight ot June 11.
It is explained that the night attacks are
to ascertain-the emcienoy of the search
lights of the fortifications and also to give
the navy exercise in constructively making
these lights dark. Actual experience has
demonstrated that It is most difficult to
hit a searchlight and, Incidentally, most
difficult to navigate a ship en which a
searchlight has been turned, the, effect of
the light being to blind the navigators as
well as the gunners. To render this exer
cise the more effective, the ships of the
squadron have been painted four colors;
the Texas, Newark, Atlanta, Terror, Puri
tan, Hornet, Siren and Silvia are white;
the Florida, Arkansas, Nevada, war color;
the Hartford black and the torpedo boat
destroyers dark green. Artillery tire will
be directed on the ships as they are picked
up by the lights, but for this exercise, the
mines are not regarded aa in existence.
Tabulated observations of what has been
accomplished on each side are to be made to
the" umpires and observers. On each ship
will be a naval umpire and an artillery ob
server and in each fortress will be an ar
tillery umpire and a naval observer. No
decisions will be rendered, however, as the
sols duty of those officers will be to make
records of ranges taken and shots fired.
None of the big guns of the navy will be
fired, neither will the big guns of the for
tifications be heard. These guns on both
sides, however, will be tralned'on the tar
get the same as In actual war and their
Are will be Indicated by the discharge of
a blank cartridge in a onu-pouuder. This
Is In the interest of economy, as the cost
of a blank charge for a one-pounder Is
much less than for a twelve-inch disap
pearing or naval gun. However, disad
vantage to the navy will result In a de
gree from this, as It will be Impossible for
the officers of a ship to know that they
are being fired at. Consequently It will be
impossible for them to ascertain what are
the locations of "dead angles" in which
they might He unhan.iad while they
dropped constructive shells Into the forti
fication, v
Mine Field Profilem.
To locate and destroy the mine fields
constitutes another problem. For some
weeks the artillery has had four boats
planting mines. Theae mines are not
loaded, but constructively, thoy will be
Just as dangerous to the navy as though
they contained explosives unless located
and destroyed through sountermlnlng oper
ations. During these operations also the
artillery of the fortresses will play on the
vessels. Then with the mines disregarded,
the naval ships will demurely sail by tha
fortifications In broad daylight, while
again, constructively, they will be ham
mered by the hugs guns of ths detenus,
which will bub up and down In their dis
appearing carriages to the rattle of the
little one-pounders, which are to make all
of the noise. This portion of the exercise
Is to develop the accuracy of the range
finders and the gun trainers. For this
fire, the channel area Is divided into plats,
each about the sise of a battleship, and
each with a distinctive number. The rangs
Anders are loeated apart from each other,
that a given object on the chart may be
considered as one point In an angle. When
a ship Is located In a certain plat, Its
course and speed Is observed as It moves
to another. Then the gunner Is communi
cated by telephone to train his gun for a
certain plat and fire it at a given second.
The hlg disappearing monster Is thus
trained and prepared for firing before It is
elevated It is then hoisted at the proper
moment, fired constructively, and lowered
Into Its pit. During this activity on land,
the guns of the navy are also to be put
into active operation and broadside after
broadside technically, will be hurled at the
defenses.
When these exercises have been con
cluded before one set of defenses the
actors will move to another, and. should
Fortress Monroe he, the first point, of at
tack, as Is anticipated, the conclusion of
the program there will be followed by the
same operations against the fortress nearer
Washington and Baltimore. Forts Wash
ington and Hunt constitute what Is termed
the Potomac artillery district. Here, too,
the garrisons have been doubled and here,
too, will the game do played Just the
same as If nothing had happened farther
down stream. The Baltimore artillery dis
trict comprises the defenses of Forts How
ard. Smallwood, Carroll and Armlatead.
The operations of the defenses are tinder
the general supervision of Brigadier Gen
eral James F. Wade, commanding the De
partment of the Atlantic. The men and
officers tinder him for the exercises will
number nearly 10,iO0.
PRESIDENT'S LATEST CHOICE
(Continued from First Page.)
In a generation. Since he left the case in
a Philadelphia newspaper office, Major Car
son has been a tireless newspaper worker.
For nearly forty years he has been In
Washington as editor and correspondent of
some newspaper. He has enjoyed a larger
personal Intimacy with more public men
than any newspaper writer since the close
of the civil war. He has stood for clean
Journalism during his whole newspaper
career and he leaves the newspaper life of
the capital with more genuine well wishes
from his associates than ever went out
to any of his calling. He has grown gray
in the service. In these parlous times it
war absolutely refreshing this week to see
tho troops of friends call and pay their re
spects to the best representative of the
newspaper profession in Washington. As
one man said yesterday at a luncheon
given by the retiring chief of the bureau,
J. Hampton Moore,- to Major Carson, "Ma-.
Jor, you have won the right to rest. You
have led a strenuous life for forty yeara
You have enjoyed the confidence" of more
presidents than any man In publlo life. You
have avoided retailing slander. You have
been fearless and fair and there go with
you Into your new position the well wishes
of every man on newspaper row." And
thus one moro itt the army Of newspaper
men at the national capital passes out
from public view to take up a wholly differ
ent line of work at 68.
STERNBERG AT THE WHITE HOCSE
I
Belief German Ambassador Discussed
Peace Problem.
WASHINGTON, r D. C, June 4. Baron
Speck von Sternberg, the German ambas
sador, spent two hours :n conrerencewith
President Roosevelt at the White House
tonight. As he left the White House at 11
o'plock the ambassador said he could not
discuss his talk w-lth the president. There
Is reason to believe that much of the time
was devoted to a general discussion of the
war between Russia and Japan and the pos
sibility of peace.
The .ambassador In response t,o a direct
question regardirg the prospect of peace
Bald that so far as he knew there had been
no decision in that respect in the last
twenty-four hours.
No official word has reached Washington
regarding the probable attitude of the czar
toward the ending of the war. Meantime
exchanges are in progress between Wash
ington, Berlin, London, Rome and Paris
regarding the whole situation and an en
tirely informal discussion is taking place
as to what would be the best measures to
adopt when Russia has the opportunity
fully to realise Its situation.
Mr. O'Belrns, the British charge
d'affaires, was at the White House today
and discussed the question with the presi
dent. It is fully expected here that weeks may
elapse before Russia decides upon her
course. Until Count Casslnl has had some
reply to his cablegram to His government
and is in a position to speak authoritatively
and officially on the subject of peace. It
is Improbable he will have another confer
ence with the president.

Mr. Dickinson has Just arrived from New

rate question recently before the senate

Dickinson said:
"I am not sufficiently Informed to ex

1,000 miles of the road completed by the end
of the year, and the line completed by the
end of 1S07.
The effect of the completion of the road
will be to open up the west coast of Mexico
for ah extensive Import and' export trade.
The road Is also under construction west
of Mlnaca, Chihuahua, and Is practically
built from Topolobampo to the Sierra
Madre mountains, leaving a gap of about
170 miles yet to be constructed through that
range, about twenty-five miles of very
heavy work. American contractors have
the work, who employ largely native labor.
Welcomes Canal Competition.
"Topolobampo Is destined to become one
of the great Pacific coast coaling stations.
not only before the completion of the
Panama canal, but after Its completion
The completion of the canal will not affect
our line In diverting traffic. We rather
court' the early completion of the canal.
The Orient road will run through the cen
ter Of the great state of Chihuahua, which
Is a state of vast mineral resources, which
are not wholly developed aa yet, although
the mines have been in operation there for
three or four hundred years. The mines
are not deep, and already over 1300,000,000
have been taken from these mines. John
Hayes Hammond, who is one of the fore
most authorities on the mineral resources
of the world, told me that the state of
Chihuahua was probably the most highly
mineralised region ot the world. The road
also passes through a belt ot 200 miles of
timber of great value, being the long and
short leaf yellow pine variety.
"We think the road has the best outlook
for local tonnage of any road In the west.
We will build a line from San Angelo to
connect with the Mexican Central road,
thus giving us access to Mexico City. This
connection will be made at Eagle pass. Our
relations with the Mexican government are
very cordial, that government having given
us a subsidy of fcl.WO.Ouo in' gold. We are
operating In Mexico a Kansas charter
whlcH has been legalised by the republic
of Mexico. Since then the Mexican con
gress has passed a law prohibiting the
granting ot. further subsidies. Our road is
the only Intercontinental line in Mexico,
as all other lines stop at the United States
line and are from there operated under
Mexican charters. The road is being built
In the best manner of railroad construc
tion, steel rails, steel bridges, stone abut
ments and 'with thorough modern equip
ment. "President Dlas Is one of the greatest of
modern statesmen, and la now entering
upon his new term as president of the re
publio for another six years. The feeling
of Mexico toward America Is growing more
cordial every year. Mexico, too, will wel
come the building of the Panama canal,
realizing that she will be greatly bene
fited by It. American capital is pouring
Into the country, and the American spirit
of enterprise Is welcomed there. In brief,
Mexico is a great country, and is destined
to become even greater.

ding of Mrs. Lyman and shall go east

AT THE PLAY HOUSES
MANAWA GETS A BIG CROWD
Sunday Pleasure Seekers Have a
Delia lit ral Time at the
Lake Resort.
Lake Manawa drew Immense throngs
afternoon and evening yesterday. Boating,
bathing and fishing were popular, large
numbers taking to the water sports, while
thousands filled the ae'ttees and swings,
spread out over the lawn or strolled about
patronizing the different amusement de
vloes. It was the first real day for bath
ing and the number who took a dip into
the water far exceeded the expectation
of the management. The program of free
shows elicited much enthusiasm. Bert
Fackler performed high dives afternoon
and evening, from a lofty tower located on
the boat docks into tha lake. The theater
waa not large enough for all who came
to see the klnetoscope pictures. Ths chil
dren were much taken with the funny
pictures. Covalt's band enlisted favor with
two programs of popular and classic muslo,
to which was added a number of encore
pieces In response to the applause. At the
ball park a large gathering ot fans watched
the Nonpareils ot Omaha defeat the Neu
meyers ot Council Bluffs by A Score of
10 to 5. The featdre of the game was the
excellent battery work of Roben, catcher
for the Nonpareils, and Williams and
Lynch, who Bhared In the pitching for
the Nonpareils. It was the best weather,
the biggest and apparently mont pleased
assemblage that has attended thus far this
season.
Ferris Meek rnpr a the Boyd,
Yesterday afternoon the Ferris Summer
Stock company opened the fourth week of
its season at tha Byd, offering "The Way
of the Transgressor," a play built on an
old theme, but handling the Incident with
a new arrangement. In this Instance the
girl who has been wronged does not devote
her life to sorrow, but rather to seeking
vengeance on the man responsible for her
undoing. "She flnilly smites him In his hour
of triumph, and proves to him that the
way of the transgressor has one certain
ending. Mr. Barton, who has Just Joined
the company, made his first appearance In
this aa the villain, and does his work well,
although with a lack of sympathy that Is
noticeable at times. He has a good pres
ence and Is suave and polished In his man
ner, with a pleasing voice and effective
methods of delivery, and Is sure to be an
addition to the acting strength of the com
pany. Mr. Todd has a little character part
which he executes very well, while Mr.
McKee and Mr. Kent contribute the com
edy most successfully.
Miss Pavey has a dual role that presents
some difficulties. She begins aa the coun
try girl who has been the dupe of a false
marriage and later takes the part of a
French adventuress who has won her way
Into something of success as director of
financial operations. She has played at
cross-purpose with the man who deceived
her, and succeeds In bringing him to ruin
and exposure, while the brother he has
made resjtonslble for his sins is cleared
and restored to his rights. In her dialect
role Miss Pavey Is good, showing the evi
dence ot careful preparation that always
marks her undertakings, and the grasp of
idea that enables her to properly present
the part.
The rest of the company is weH bestowed
in the cast, and the performance moves
very smoothly. It will be the bill till after
Wednesday.
Caldwell Stock Company at the Krnsr.
At the Krug yesterday the Caldwell Stock
company put on that always acceptable
play, "The Octoroon," which Is still ser
viceable. It gives Miss Fuller a splendid
chance to show another side of her ability
aa an actress, and as oe, the beautiful
slave girl, she Is almost as attractive as
she proved in the more elaborate role ot
the Sardou drama. The simplicity of the
character Is one that appeals strongly to
her artistic Instinct, and she lavishes on It
the care and thought that serves to make
It zeaulne.
Carl Caldwell finds In the role of Salem
Scudder, the Yankee overseer, a fine oppor
tunity for his gifts as a comedian, and does
ths role with unction. Jacob McCloskey is
one ot the old-time villains, and Forrest
Cummings creates the part In the old time
way, so that it Is a distinct hit, while Mr.
Hill Is almost Ideal as Wahnotee, the lazy
Indian who infests the Terrebonne planta
tion, and finally has so much to do with
visiting vengeance on the criminal. The
fight with knives between Wahnotee and
McCloskey Is made most realistic. Miss
Bckhart Is good as Dora Sunnyshine, and
John Mylle Is capital as old Pete, the slave
with privileges.
"The Octoroon" will be the bill till after
Wednesday.

CONCERT AT ST. PATRICK'S
Omaha Amateurs Render Good Pro
arrant in Excellent Style to a
Large Audience.
Chnrrhee Struck by Lightning?.
CHICAGO, June 4. During a thunder
storm here today three churches were
struck by lightning and two of them com
pletely destroyed. The storm was the
worst of the season, and besides the
churches several other buildings were
struck and damaged. The total lose oc
casioned by tiie lightning Is estimated at
IJUO.OOO. The two churches destroyed were
Unity church In Oak park, and the Sacra
mento Avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
Scranton avenue and Adams street. North
Englewood Congregational church. Fifty
ninth snd LaSalies streets, was also struck
but the damage waa slight.
At the time the storm passed over the
city the churches were empty and no
loss of life occurred.
Carnival Train Wrecked.
ATCHISON. Kaa, June 4 A special
train of twenty-svven cars, carrying a eaiv
nival comiiany which gives street shows,
was wrecked In the Santa Fe yards here
today while en route from St. Josnph, Mo.,
to Topeka. A ear In the train Jumied the
track a -id tipped over three other cars.
The following members of the company
were injurf-d: Henry Witt, back hurt;
Harry Treeter, hip injured, ear cut; Jack
Oaborn, nose broken, bark hurt; Chester
W. Estes, Louisiana. Mo., badly cut
about head, back hurt.
St. Patrick's church. Fourteenth and Cas
tellar, waa filled with an appreciative audi
ence Sunday -evening, to enjoy the most ex
cellent program given In the form of a
sacred concert. The make-up of the pro
gram was so varied In character and the
Individual contributors so well suited to
give enjoyment in the rendering of the dif
ferent numbers that It Is doubtful If a more
really satisfactory concert of this charac
ter will be available to music lovers again
this season. Miss Margaret Judge, organist
of St. John's church, Mrs. R. E. Yocum
and J. A. Schenck as accompanists, were
entirely competent to the needs of the oc
casion. Some decidedly meritorious work was
done by a mixed quartette composed ot
Mrs. Bethge, Mlsa Judge, Mr. Kent and
Mr. Burkley. A male quartette, made up
of Charles Morlarity, J. V. Brennan, James
Swift and James Rush, also contributed
appreciably to the esthetic pleasure of the
audience.
Mrs. K. A. Cudahy sang with delightful
effect a well known number and Harry
Burkley and Edward Norman Kent were at
their best In solos. Three ot the numbers
were from Rossini's "Stabat Mater," and
showed that they had been given consider
able study. The chorus, composed of mem
bers of the various church choirs of the
city, had been drilled by J. A. Schenck,
and Bang well the various numbers In
which It assisted the soloists. Jules Lum
bard showed he Is still a great favorite by
the reception he received when he appeared
to sing his double number.
The concert was given to assist In de
fraying the cost of recent repairs to the
church and a goodly sum was realised, as
the church waa crowded, and this In spite
ot the hot weather The program:
