St. Petersburg Hears Emperor Declines to

CAUCUS OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATS
Division of Sentiment Appears In
Conference of Men Who Ms)-" "
Control First Parlia
ment of Hassia.
BT. PKIERSBURG. April U.-The Btrana,
a conservative liberal newspaper, today
fays that it has learned from high au
thority that the emperor has declined lu
accept Premier Witte'a resignation. .
A caucus of constitutional democratic
members-elect of Parliament has been
called for May 4 to formulate a line of
action for the party. Dissensions, how
ever, have appeared already und a split Is
quite probable. The most radical mem
bers favor a plan according to which they
will decline to take the prescribed oath
until the emperor ahall have sworn fidelity
to the constitution,
Mr. Kedrlne, a welt known Bt. Peters
burg lawyer, believes that the opposition
should Immediately demand the annullment
of the Imperial manifesto of March 5,
ahich gave the government a strong hold
on the proceedings of Parliament, as being
inconsistent With the previous Imperial
manifesto of October 30, 1905.
The more practical minded members,
like M. Vlnaver and constitutional demo
cratic candidates believe the first duty
of the constitutional democrats is to
strenghthen their position by a coalition
with the peasants on the basis of an equit
able settlement of the agrarian queations.
More Repressive Measures.
The social democrats and the social revo
lutionists and other proletariat organisa
tions are secretly selecting delegates to

to hold lu Finland some time this month
and at which a plan of action will be tie-
elded upon. The government Is seeking
to prevent the meeting of the congress by
all means. The delegates ate being hunted
down and arrested by the police who last )
night arrested sixty representatives or the
workmen In the factories who were hold
ing a meeting at Narva, an Industrial
town of ltt.oft) Inhabitants in the govern
ment of St. Petersburg.
The council of the empire has passed a
lsw providing pensions for the widows and
children of gendarmes and policemen who
have been killed by the revolutionists.
They will receive the same pension ratea
as the widows and children of soldiers who
were killed during the war with Japan.
Three hundred and twenty-two gend
armes or policemen! were killed from
September, ', to January, 1v.
Warning from Parliament.
An article assailing the new national
loan, which is regarded as remarkable be
cause emanating from M. Petrunkevitch,
who Is regarded as the probable leader of
the majority In the national Parliament,
and for Its open threat of unfavorable ac
tion If the Parliament Is not consulted, Is
published here today.
M. Petrunkevitch declared that the con
clusion of a loan, which means the yearly
addition of 1. 25 to the tax burden of each
family, at a time of such stress and on
the eve of the convocation of the national
Parliament can only be regarded as a new
attempt on the part of the dying bureau
cratic regime to strengthen Itself for the
struggle with the people by giving It lib
erty to disperse the Parliament If It seems
desirable to do so.
The writer suggests that the government
arrange the terms of the loan, but not
conclude the negotiations before the convo
cation of tbe Parliament. Tbe article closes
with this warning:
We are not enemies of the fatherland,
seeking to destroy Its credit, but we wish
the government to understand the danger
of the path on which it has entered. Sub
mit the loan for the approval of the Par
liament. Only then can the terms of the
loan, hard as may be, be aucoepted and dis
charged by the people.

PEACE BROODS OYER ZION
Controversy Between Dr. Dowie and Former
follower May Be Arbitrated.
CHANGE IN ATTITUDE OF "THE APOSTLE"
Legal Advisers of Beth Rides
Hold Extended Conferences and
Probable.
CHIt'AtlO, ApriUJ. At the conclusion of a
d;iy of conferences between rrpt esentatlves
of the opposing Interests of the Christian
Catholic church, the statement was made
at midnight tonight that the whole con
troversy would probably be settled by con
ciliation. Roth sides to the dispute, ac
cording to Attorney Kmll C. Wetlen. John
Alexander's legal representative, are an
xious for an amicable adjustment of the
whole dispute. This announcement was
made by Mr. Wetten after his return to
Chicago tonight from Zfon City, where be
went this sfternoon and was In confer
ence with OenctuI Overseer Volha. Over
seer Spelcher, Overseer Piper. Deacon
Granger and Judge Barnes, the head of
Zton City's law department. The state
ment was made hy Mr. Wetten Immedi
ately after a conference be had with Dr.
Powie and his counsellors, which lasted
until midnight. At this meeting Attorney
Wetten told Dowie and his lieutenants
what bad tratiupired at the meeting he
had with Voliva anda his assistants.
Earlier in the evening a statement hud
been given out from Dowie'a apartments,
that the whole matter would be thrown In
to the courts tomorrow for a settlement,
but after the consultation ' with Attorney
Wetten on his return from Zion, there
seemed to be a sudden change In the war
like attitude which has all along been as
sumed by Dowie and his advisors.
o Xeed of Coorfa.
Attorney Wetlen In making his state
ment, said that Dowie bad appointed him
to speak officially for himself i Dowie)
while the negotiations for a settlement
were going on.
"The report that Dr. Dowie would seek
redress In the courts is entirely wrong."
said Mr. Wetlen. "That will be our last
resort and I am of the opinion tonight
that there will be no need to ask the
courts for assistance. Dr. Dowie'a princi
pal desire In this matter Is to see that
every person who has erer Invested a dol
lar In Zlon City or any of the business en
terprises of his receives payment In full on
Investments. At the conference I had In
Zlon City todsy with those now in control
of that place considerable progress was
made In reaching an understanding. We
went over the whole situation as to their
rights and as to, what was due to Dr.
lowle., At .the meeting tonight with Dowie
and his counsellors I Informed them of
the attitude of those in control at Zlon
City and advised conciliation. Dowie and
hla lieutenants ?eemed favorably Impressed
with what I had to say and it waa decided
that I should continue my efforts for peace.
Nothing was mentioned as to who should
be the ecclesiastical head of the church,
as we did not have time to touch on that
point. Our plans are atill only in the pri
mary stage, but a scheme Is being consid
ered whereby an effort will be made to
have the whole affair left to a board of
arbitration to be chosen from represent
atives of both sides."
Gladstone powle'a Threat.
In referring to the threat which it Is as
serted that Gladstone Dowie made. Inti
mating that If his father did not cease In
his attacks upon Mrs. Dowie. he would
reveal certain deeds said to have occurred
In 1S77, Dr. iojvte said:
I remember nothing particular that oc
curred in the year 187T. I know of no rea
son why any exposure of my acta during
that period of time should cause me to be
afraid. Coming to think of U. however,
there is one thing that happened In the
year 1R77 which I greatly regret and that
is that the lrd gave unto me a son wham
I named Gladstone Dowie. All my life
I've tried to give him counsel and supply
him with money, but my efforts In lead
ing him in the paths that I would have him
walk have been without aval). Now, 1
want to say that unless this young man
ceases making these threats and Inslnus
tions I will be fofoed to reveal hi true
character to th world.

Strict Army
Orders on Food
Victorious Japanese Know the .Secret
of Strength, and. Health.
In the Japanese army during the late
war with Russia, strict regulations' wef
enforced to promote health among the sold
iers. These regulations covered every
phase of hygenic living. They were espec
ially strict in regard to food.
"The origin of strength In the huint-n
bodv Is good food," said these instructions
to the conquering Japanese army. And
this is Just as true . In America as tl
Japan. "The origin of strength In the
human body Is good food."
In this country we have the Ideal good
food. It is the food which gives to tliu
body and brain perfect strength and pci
fect health. We refor to MoJta-Vlta, so
often called "The Perfect Food' because
It contains every food element the body
needs, and in the exact proportions whl.li
science has shown are necessary to bealtli
and strength.
Malta-Vita Is the whole of the bet
white wheat grown, mixed with finest
barley malt extract. . This is the reason
It is so rich In vitalizing, refreshing, Inus-cle-bulldlng,
blood-making food clement
The wheat, after being thoroughly cleaned.
Is conked and steamed until the starch
cells break down. It is then mixed Willi
the malt extract and rolled out Into wafer
like flakes, every grain of whest a flake.
The malt extract, an active digestive agent,
converts tiie gelatinised starch of the
wheat into maltose, or malt augur. Mult
sugar Is very nutrlcious and Is easily
diKCSted even by the weakest stomach.

it Is crisp and brown, ready to eat, -Xli.it
