ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27. Tha ukase
convoking the national assembly for May
in, which was Issued against the desires
or the 1-ractlonal element at court, has
Iwe.i followed by further strong evidence
that the emperor has wrenched himself
free from the old influences. Setting at
naught the opinion of the cabinet and a
laruq majority of the council of the em
pire, 111 majesty has rejected the pro
Ksed law providing for the extension of
the trial by court-martial for political of
fenses to all parts of the empire, which
was the cause of M. Timirlaieff leaving
the cabinet, and accepting the view of
the minority that there Is no Justification
for such a law In a constitutional state
during elections to parliament. The em
peror also rejected the project authorising
the troops to Ore If "they arc Insulted" and
forbidding the firing of volleys of blank
cartridges during street disturbances.
With tho exception of the Novoe
Yreinya. the Russian presss, which
seems constitutionally unable to give the
government credit for any sincerity or good
intentions, receives the national assembly
ukase with coolness, even with mistrust.

PUSHING WAR TELEGRAPHERS' PENSION BILL

From a Start Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Fob. 27,-tSperlal Tele
gramsEdward Reeds of Torrlngton. Wyo..
manager of the Whalnn Falls canal, which
has been taken ovr by the reclamation
service tinder the North Platte project. Is
In Washington for the trpose of clearing
up some misunderstanding as to the rights
Of usrs of water under the Whalen canal
enterprise. , a most Interesting condition
exists in connection with this project. The
reclamation service when It took over tha
physical features ot the Whalen canal It
was with the understanding that contracts
made with land owners to use the water
rights of the canal should remain Inviolate
In the canal company. It now transpires
that some of the users of water In the
neighborhood of the North Platte project
are in extreme dotjbts as to whether they
come under the Whalen canal water or
under the North Platte, project. In conse
quence of this misunderstanding the recla
mation division, after a conference with
Mr. Reed, has agreed to refer the whole
subject to Dlvislan Engineer Field, whose
headquarters Is on tho North Tlatte proj
ect, with a view of arriving at some agree
ment satisfactory to all partus.
KJnkald ot Candidate.
,Lately there has been much quiet specu
lation as to whether a ' new Richmond
might not enter the field for senatorial
honors In place of Senator J. H. Millard,
and that new Richmond Is called Moses" P.
Kinkaid of the Sixth Nebraska district.
Today, however, Judge Kinkaid pushed
aside the glittering bubble that has been
dangled before his eyes by authorising tho
following statement:
In view of letters I have been receiving
from friends in Nebraska, I deem It proper
to state at this time that I shall not he a
candidate for the nomination to a seat in
the I'nlted States senate.
Working; for Telegraphers' Pensions.
Congressman Pollard, who some time, ago
introduced a special pension bill for an old
time military telegrapher, has been led to
abandon his special bill in view of the gen
eral military telegraphers' bill which
passed the senate a fortnight ago under
the direction of Senator Scott of West Vir
ginia, Mr. Pollard today had a conference
with Chairman Sulloway of the Invalid
pensions committee Of the house and urged
upon that gentleman the Importance of
passing the Scott bill,, not only as a tribute
but as a matter of common Justice to the
men who were connected with the tele
graph corps during the civil war. Mr. Pol
lard, following up this conference, brought
the wholo matter to tho attention of Con
gressman Calderhcad of Kanson, who
agreed to take charge of the hill before the
pensions committee.
Land for Sioux Indian.
Senator Gamble today presented an
amendment to the Indian appropriation bill
providing that the secretary Of tho Interior
lie authorised to iss'to a pstent In fee to
Collin Lament, a Yankton Sioux Indian, in
lieu of a trust patent heretofore Issued him
for lands in South Dakota.
Upon the recommendation of Congress
man Kinkaid Dr. C D. Mortyw has been
appointed pension examining surgeon at
St. Paul. Neb.
Fight u Free Seeds.
Three, or four W'.aJ ago, when tho prop
osition was first advanced, there were only
two members of tha committee on agricul
ture, Messrs. Wodsworth and Cocks of
New York, who favored the proposition to
abandon the free distribution of seeds.
Members ot congress, as a rule, have re
garded this free seed distribution as a
necessary' evil and few of them have dared
oppose it. Hut Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Agriculture and Dr. Gallo
way, chief of the bureau of plant Industry
In that department, have admitted that the
seed distribution serves absolute- no good
purpose. Then, too, state granges of Pa
trons of Husbandry have been sending in
protests against the continuance of this
useless waste of public money. When the
subcommittee of the committee on agricul
ture, which had charge of the appropriation
bill, reported the nitasure to the full com
mittee it contained a cltuse appropriating
$JW.t, its usual, for seeds. Much to the
astonishment of every one, including the
chairman, a motion to cut out that appro
priation was adopted by a vote of 8 , to 7.
Of course there is a chance, and an ex
cellent one, that it will he restored when
the bill comes up for consideration in the
house of representatives. But the first
sUp haa been taken and there Is a chance
now that the appropriation for seeds which
no one wants und which few dare to ex
pose will eventually be stricken from the
annual appropriation.

Mr. Morgan pursued the wltnes relent

of public land. Involving the false sweating
of the entryman to the homestead affi

witnesses, nnd the suborning of these fslse

Ware Insist, on Ills Innocence.
During the delivery of Mr. Rush's speech
Mrs. Ware came Into the court room,
bringing with her John H.irmall, the old
soldier from Grand Island, whose affidavit
Is on file with other papers In the motion
for a new trial, and which wus in effect
that Rev. Mr. Ware had positively refused
to buy Harmnll's land after he had made
final proof on It. Mis. Ware led Harmall
to a seat Inside the bar. Just In the rear
of where Mr. Ware sat, and then took her
place beside her husband.
Judge Mung. r then addressed Ware, ask
ing him If he wished to say anything. Mr.
Ware then arose nt-.d said:
"I wish to reiterate, the verdict of the
Jury notwithstanding, that I am not guilty
of conspiring with Frank Lambert or any
one else of any Intention to defraud the
government out of one acre or nny number
of acres of land. I am not guilty of mak
ing one or any number of fraudulent filings
on government or any other hinds. I have
availed myself of the privileges of the
public domain tor the last quarter of a
century in the cattle business In South
Dakota and In Hooker county, Nebraska,
but in all th.U time 1 never made or
caused to be made any attempt to defraud
tho government of the I'nlted States
cut or one acre of land. Had I desired to
procure fraudulent filings I could have
done so for $H per filing. On the contrary
I paid Frank Lambert $00 and an addi

filings 6n lands.

"Frank Lambert put the $."i0 Into his

"When on Saturday Mr. Rush stated that
Mr. Harmall was old, decrepit, in linn and
of feeble mind, to say the least, ho was
misinformed. There stands Mr. Hurmnll
now (pointing to Harmall, In the vigor
of mature manhood, the youngest of his
comrades, of whom Mr. Llue of tho Sol
diers' borne has said, 'John Harmall is the
youngest, strongest and brightest man
among us. I have had him brought here
to prove this to you, and to show that
when Mr. Rush charged hint with being
Imbecile in mind nnd body that ho is re
flecting upon my Integrity and cast dis
trust on me."

While speaking Rev. Mr. Ware's voice
frequently quivered with emotion and the
eyes of his faithful wlfo were closely
riveted upon him. The utmost silence pre
vailed throughout tho court room, and when
he had finished speaking Judge Munger
said:
"The court lias one duty lo perform ar.d
the Jury another. Tho passing of sentence
i. not so much to punish as to prevent
wrong doing." i
After Judge Munger hud pronounced the
sentence of tho court Mrs. Ware, with
tears streaming down her cheeks, stepped
to tho side of her husband and embraced
him affectionately, and Rev. Mr. Ware
stooped and kissed her most tenderly.
Tho remainder of the scene comprised the
filing of the appeal bond, w hich wus signed
by Mr. Ware and his securities, and the
case came to an end. as far us tills court
i. concerned.
In the meanwhile Mr. Ware will be re
leased on his bond, and the committment
to Jail vill not ! made until thu upeal Is

SHERIFF CALLS UPON GOVERNOR FOR AID
Oathreak Provoked by Attack of Two
They Are Taken to Dayton
SPRlXdFlKI.D. O.. Feb. 2X.-1 a. ln
Since 9 o'clock last night this city has
been the center of mob disorder, the out
come of feeling over the probable fatal
shooting yesterday of Railroad Urakemon
M. M. Davis by Preston Iuld and Edward
Dean, negr.ies. both of whom had been
rlaoed under arrest here and because of
threatened lynching hurried tinder cover of
darkness toulfcht by the authorities to Day
ton, where they are now rarely lodged In
J?.il.
When the mob learned that the prisoners
had been taken from the city It went to
that part ot iown known as the "jungle,"
inhabited by colored people, and began to
burn and loot dwelling houses and saloons.
At least six dwellings were bunted and the
contents of one saloon looted. The torce of
seventy-five members of the one military
company are guarding the scene where the
mob holds sway. The authorities believe
Ihe two negroes were saved from being
lynched only by their removal from the
city. .
Sheriff Calls for Troops.
At an early hour this morning Sheriff Al
monry had wired Governor Pattison for all
available troops and to hold others In readl
nens for possible cell tomorrow.
The authorities say that the srenes sre
similar to those which ended In the lynch
ing of Richard Dixon, a negro, In this city
two years ago. ,
The mob Is stoning and Jeering the
militiamen, but a show of bayonets has
sufficed so far to keep the rioters on the
move. The rumor that out-of-town troops
are momentarily expected Is having a
quieting effect on the mob.

GROSSCUP ON CORPORATIONS
Krlla tiroirliiK Ont of Their Actions
One to Itek of Control by
i Their Creators.
CIllCAUO. Feb. 27. "The people of the
I'nlted States still believe that the thing
In their national life bigger than ull others
Is the individual man, his development and
hi. destiny." This assertion was made by
Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United
States circuit court In art address before
the members of the Hnmilton club at u
good fellowship dinner tonlghl. Judge
Urossrup's subject was "The Relation of
the 'Corporation to the Future of thu Coun
try." Continuing, he said Ip part:
Two forces confront us. The first of
these is the prevailing Indifference of thu
stales and tue notion to the character
tneir corporate offspring shall sustain; llio
other Is the rising current of a general
public ownership. Tnej?e wo . .currents.
However, ilow trom the lime source. Tho
reason why the corporate aoniaia of the
country's properly Is a thing apart from
the people at laige, and the reason why
the propaganda of general ownership Is
rising ever where like waters in too spring
time, is just because the corKirate domain
of the country's property Is becoming more
and more in the fueling of the people, u
thing apart, ard the reason wny the cor
poiate domain is it thing apart Is because
tne corporation, born out ot the Iuimk of
the state is abandoned even Ik-fore it is
born. The dar.g'-r ttiut this indlllerence
lias brought upon us Is not the sin of tue
corporation, but the outcome of our own
sin.
The thing to be done now is not to spend
our energies in denunclatloh nor Iiuivk at
the corporation In a mero spirit of perse
cution, but to begin at once the work of
its regeneration.
In closing Judge Grosscup drew a pic
ture of what could lie accomplished in this
direction by a strong political party which
took up the work sincerely and with the
interests of the public at heart.
