INSTRUCTED TO PRESENT IT TO MINISTERS Constitutional Democrats Hold laarai and Leaders Have Difficulty I Pre tty Radicals, 8T. PKTKH9BCRU. May 20 A bomb was thrown into the Parliamentary camp this afternoon by a note received by Pres ident Mo'iromtsefT of the lower house from Peterhoff. which. Instead of making an appointment for an audience, at which he and the. deputation could present the ad dress In reply to the speech from the throne, contained the Information that Emperor Nicholas would not receive the deputation and that the address must be presented thrcugh th ministry of tho court. Disconcerted utterly at this unexpected development, the leader of the majority In the House hastily summoned a caucus of the constitutional democratic deputies. President Mouromtseff. Instead of sending the address to Faron Fredericks, minister of the Imperial house. Immediately Issued a call for a meeting of Parliament at 11 o'clock tomorrow, at which he well report the occurrence and ask for further In structions. A most heated meeting Is In prospect. The first disposition of the caucus of con stitutional democrats, which was In session all the afternoon and evening and at mid night had not been concluded, was to re- gsrd th refusal to receive the deputation as a challenge and an open sffront. which was only answersble by a counter declara tion of war. The. deputies were red with rage, but after ihe first passion had cooled, the leaders realised the danger of too pre cipitate action and set for themselves the task of hrirglng their enraged followers under control. Outsiders were not affmttted to the cau cus, but through the glsss doors of the great hall of the constitutional club where the session was held It could be seen that Prof. Milukoff. Prince Peter Dolgoroukoff and other were on their feet time and again pleading with and commanding their auditors to act deliberately and firmly and not ruin all by unreasoning passion. Th cooler councils seemed ultimately to be prevailing, but It Is almost certain that the radical group, accompanied by a por tion of th peasants, will break away to morrow and endeavor to force the House into some fiery declaration against the em peror and the government which might compel an immediate rupture, entail disso lution and civil war. An interesting constitutional point Is In volved In the refusal of a personal au dience by the emperor. According to the Parliamentary law "the president submits to the consideration of tha emperor the tranaactlons of the lower house," but It la not stated whether he does so personally and a. deputation Is nowhere authorised. Th Associated Press 1 Informed by a member of th ministry to say that F.m peror Nicholas n willing to receive Presi dent MoaromtasfT, bift""that' t!u - action of the hous tn appointing ay -deleaTation to accompany htm was regarded as a danger ous precedent, capable of being stretched to Include a deputation of any else even the whole membership of the house. This minister Intimated that if the leader of the house desired to avoid a rupture they could do so 'either by accepting th In structions to present the address through the ministry of the court as a proper and justifiable matter of routine or could by keeping within the limlta of the constitu tional provision direct the president of tie house to apply alone for an audience. It waa pointed out that no distinction had been made between the lower house and the council of the empire and that the laat named body has also been Instructed to present Its address through the same chan nel. President Mouromtseff again went to Peterhof thi evening In order to he pre sented to the empress, who had no op portunity of meeting him during the cere monies there Saturday. He did not see the emperor. Coaslder I'arllaaaeat Dead. LONDON. May a. The Dally Telegraph's St Petersburg correspondent declares that the days of the Russian Parliament are numbered. He aaya: "In the eye uf the court party the Parliament la already dead. the only question not solved la how ami when to arrange for a decent burial. My belief la that the crown will dessolve the Parliament, promulgate a narrow electoral law and order new elections, which will ult in the return of Its own partisans." The Tribunals St. Petersburg correspon dent asserts that he has obtained Informa tion of a plot that has been elaborated at large meetings of military officer to sur round the Tauride palace, arrest all mem bers of the Parliament and proclaim Gen eral Trepoff military dictator 1b th event of tynpsror Nicholas falling to abolish the Parliament. PROTECTING POUCY HOLDERS t lasnraae Department teaas Rlaaket Sntlce of ltaa la Com panies. SAN FRANCISCO, May 30-lri behalf of a great mass or policyholders who lojt property in the fire and as a precautlotiui y measure agalnat the possible contention be ing made that some persons failed to send notices of loss as required by law, Insur ance Commissioner Myron Wolf has ecnt word to all Insurance companies that a large portion of San Fiancisco has been de stroyed. The object of sending out the circular is to protect those policyholders who may have failed to gi notlve of their losses. Borne of these liave lout their policies and do not know where they are Insured, and an Insurance corporation disposed to re sort to legal quibhles and technicalities might raise the point that It waa not noti fied of raretaln losses. i OBSERVE MICKLENBURG DAY (One Nandred Thirty.

May W -A staff correspondent of the fetirinel. who today made a tour of the dteHrlct Sn the upper peninsula of Michigan covered by the forest flres in a special train, the first train to go through the district since the ratnst rnphe, telcgrsplis tluit the fire ap pears to be prartii-ll.v out in all the dis trict. The fire raged for a distance of I sixty-four miles alnnR t e Urea of the , Ksranaba Ikc- Superior railroad and j for thirty miles beyond Cliannlug, the western terminus of the road. If seems certain now that !.non persons are homeless in that district and that l.mo sre left deso late at Qlnnessee. The Qninnessee fire, however, was of different origin from the Kseansba fire, having started In a field where men were pulling stumps and burn ing debris. This fire spread Into the city, wiped out all the buildings except three residences and the paper mills. Then the Are spread Int othe timber and running north forty miles finally joined 'he flames sweeping east on Ksosnsba. It was also learned today that Woodlawn and Klngsley, on the Esranabs. ft l.ke Superior line, and Perkins, nn the North western road, were destroyed. The, strip burned along the Fjwansha Ijke Superior road appears to be thirty miles wide and the alarming nature of the earlier reports of the fire aeem to he thoroughly verified. Stories of heroic battles Against the flsme are numerous. Dosens of towns mere saved only by the most desperate battle with the flames, orthland, a town of l.ntiO Inhab itants, was three time ' threatened. The fire was checked each time at a distance of only ten yards from the houses on the outskirts. One man who carried the coffin with the corpse of his dead babe thirty miles to Escanaba In his escape from the lire, went back on tjie special train and found hla home gone, but the picket fence surrounding the house . untouched. The ashes of his home had been blown away by the gale' and, the fence was Uie only evidence of human habitation. The reat of the town had been swept away. A remarkable feature of the fire is the fact that nearly all the refugees sre not disheartened, but are determined to re turn and begin over. They have only the clothes they wear, but say this Is the for tune of the frontiersman' and that if their homes are lost at legist the fire has cleared the land for them and thla much labor la saved. MENOMINEB. Mich, May 3f. The town of Soperton, Mich., owned by the Bay Shore Lumber company, suffered a heavy loss from the forest Area. All that saved the town and people from complete annihila tion was a shifting of the wind. ANOTHER CRISIS IN HUNGARY Refusal of separate Tariff for Haaararr Cans f the) Latest Disagreement.

WASHINGTON. May 2n.'-Th railroad rate hill, the statehood bill, the diplomatic and consular appropriation hill, the natu lallxatlnu bill, the pure food bill, confer ence reports on the armv and Indian appro priation bills are all possibilities of consid eration in the national house of repre sentatives this week The certainties In this calendar of business sre that Mon day will be devoted to the passage of minor bills urder suspension of the rules. With the filibuster of the democrats to promote the statehood bill, the result will he comparatively smsll In the number of measures passed. The diplomatic nd consular appropria tion bill will be called up Tuesday, accord ing to the present program. The diplo matic bill Is a small measure and will re quire but a day or two at most In con sideration, unless It I to be mad the vehicle for set speeches. The rate bill Is likely to be made the subject of more or less discussion when the motion I made to send It to conference. Just what will be the character of this discussion or the length of time It will occupy cannot be ascertained with any deflnlteness. Th conferees on the statehood bill Indioate that a preliminary report to the two houses Is a possibility for the not distant future. While nothing definite can be said as to the character of this report, It Is believed It will Include a compromise on the basis of the Foraker amendment per mitting the people of Arizona and New Mexico to vote separately on tha subject of Joint ststehood. The pure food bill will bet called up In the house at all time when the appro priation bill or other privileged measures aro not under consideration. Ko Program In Menate, The senate will resume business Mondsy by taking up th legislative, executive snd Judicial appropriation bill snd when that I , passed will probably enter upon the consideration of the immigration bill. Sen ators have been so engrossed with the rate bill during tha laat few month that they have given very little attention to other question. Consequently there Is no well defined progran for future legislation and no one haa definite authority to stat what course will be pursued. But th Immigra tion bill I so generally favored by th republican leaders that ther is no doubt it will be given the next place of prefer ence on th senate calendar. There will not, however, be any further effort at legis lation aside from appropriation bills until the republican steering committee can got together and decide upon a program, which will probably be some time during ' the week. The general disposition Is to con fine business to the supply bills aa much aa possible, but there la considerable di vision of opinion with reference to the Panama canal bill and also on th question of the discharge of the Philippine commis sion from the further consideration of the Philippine tariff bill. There la strong pres sure to secure consideration of the canal bill this session, while the preponderance of sentiment on the Philippine question ap pears tn be agalnat reopening of th sub ject. The conference report on tha Indian appropriation bill will be presented during the week snd will be taken up for con sideration as soon ss It Is presented. The report on the nostofflce appropriation bill will be made late In th week and it too will receive early attention. Rnssla Center of Iatrt. For all who hav followed th progress of Ruaala'a atruggle for governmental re form this week will hold great Interest, as it ia expected that the answer to the ad dresses adopted by the nw Parliament In reply to the speech from th throne will be made today or tomorrow. Dispatches from St. Peterscburg Indlcat that the emperor does not consider th address of the lower house as being an ultimatum beyond the demand for amnesty, which will take first place In hi reply. It la also evident that much disappointment Is feJt In Russia that tha emperor did not make his birthday the occasion for granting am nesty. The other nlns damand of the address to the throne will be taken up in turn, bnt It doe not appear, aeoerdJngj to advices from Russia, that they will b con sidered a more than suggestions for the emperor's consideration.
