OPEN RUPTURE WITH THE GOVERNMENT Party Leaden 8ay It It Useless to Attempt to Poi t pone Conflict. CABINET MAY NOT DECLARE RECESS Bame that Ministry May Al(fml to lupnl Ittlna- Spirit of Revolt Appear to Do Spreading. ST. PETERSBURG, Juno 18. The constl (Utlonal democrats seem almost ready to throw their lot with the revolutionist. The popular agitation la o great that at a caucus lasting three morning the ques tion of changing the party's tactics and abandoning any further attempt to post pone an open rupture with tho government was seriously donated. MM. Rodltchelt and Naboukoff, leaders of the constitutional democrat In the lower house, led the radi cal wing, urging the absolute necessity of krpplng pace with the revolutionary move ment and Insisting that unless they moved forward to battle Immediately they would bo overwhelmed and left stranded. Prof. Mllukoft, M. Vlnaver and others counseled caution, saying It was not yet time to bend to the storm, but the radicals were in the majority. It was learned today that the constitu tional democrats, in caucus, have definitely decided to refuse to obey the order to take a recess In case the government ventures on this step. Cabinet May Back Down. A rumor waa current in the lobbies of tho house today that tho cabinet had de cided, In view of tho unanimous opposition of the house, not to attempt ' to declare a recess. ' During the afternoon a project of the order of proponed legislation was drawn up by Mm. Peirunkevltch, Vlnaver and othets and wns presented' to the house. Outwardly It waa not Important, but It pro- vld.s for a continuance of the work of the honee Interruptedly throughout tho summer. The project ' will not bo considered to morrow. , Twenty-six Interpellations were presented today. One of them was on the subject of recent death sentences at Riga and In order to prevent the shifting of responsi bility It was ordered to be presented both to the minister of war and the minister of the Inferior. . , ' The Kovoe Vreniya today says the con stitutional democrat . have resolved to break with tho .grvernmont within a few days, but M. 9truv. editor of the Osvotwj denle. Informed the Associated Press that ."Ho CecMtorr.hart' berf taken. He ndmlltej,- however. that the leader'o plans were Secret. M'tny of the liberals fear a rup ture and regard the contemplated step a a grave error. . Rndlrnls Arc Watcnfal. They claim that the constitutional demo crats cannot hope to keep step with the advanced radicals, who, at meeting held In .he suburbs of Bt. Petersburg last night, not only condemned the lower house of Parliament and characterised the constitu tional democrata as traitors, but even de nounced the Group of Toil. M. Albidln was hissed because he tried to explain the absurdity of the contention that the house must demand that the emperor summon a conatltuent assembly. The meeting re fused to listen to his statement that the government could not be asked to sign Its own death warrant. Constitutional assem blies, he said, were constituted and not summoned by the government. The orators at the meetings glorified the coming dic tatorship of tho proletariat tyid cheered the cries of "Down with the government and the middle classes." Avrerlaa Debate at an End. The long debate on the agrarian question was ended at this morning's session of th lower house with a strong speech by Michael Stakovlch of Orel, In which he virtually deulared that the government must recognise the principle of the partial expropriation of private land holdings In order to satisfy the peasants, but he ap pealed for peaceful co-operation between the house and government In arranging a settlement of this great question. It was then decided to send the agrarian question to a commission, and after recess the question of the composition of the com mission was considered. Although the members In the lobbies of the house talked of little except the Bialstok massacre and the Increasing grav ity of the situation, the Bialystok affair waa not broached in Parliament during the morning session, the members pre fer! ng to await the report of the commis sion of Inquiry sent to the scene to' In vestigate and report upon the massscre. The slse of the commission which will be elected tomorrow was fixed after tho debate at ninety-nine, or eleven more than originally planned. The house thereupon turned to the discussion of the bill pro viding for the abolition of all special class privileges and religious and national re striction affecting civil rights. Tho bakeries continue closed today, th strikers threatening to wreck the shops whore attempts were made to bake bread. Utile hardship, however, has thus far re sulted. The lower classes were warned and supplied themselves with black bread In advance. Witt of Strike Spreads. Th strike of the bakers Is to he fol lowed In a few days by a butchers' strike. The news from the Interior shows that th wave of strikes la spreading, but It Is too early to tell whether thl movement, which seems more spontaneous than organ ised, will precipitate a crisis. Now strikes re reported at Yekaterlnoslav. at Raratoff and at the collieries of Rakmuth. The usual number of robberies Is re ported today, emphasising th growing law lessness and anarchy In the country. There have been two murderous train robberies in tho Caucasus and three stage roaches wore held up In Poland. A case of arms and 600 t ort ridge have been confiscated at Riga on an Incoming steamer. The government seems to fear a repeti tion of the November mutiny at Cronstadt fortres. where the aalkirs and marine and th soldier and workmen are reported to be extremely turbulent. -Two infantry regt mesis have been ' hastily dispatched to Cronatadt from Kraanoy ' delo, and two batteries of artillery of the guard and two ' acfclne gun battexlta have been seat there.

ROBINSON'S SHOW IN THE RAIN Great Ctreoa Gives Performance In Spite of the Intoward Conditions. Governor John 8. Robinson, owner of Robinson's circus, and his son, John U. Robinson, manager of the big enterprise, representing old age and youth, the spring and winter of circus life, In a conversation with a Bee reporter last night said In sub stance: ' "After an absence of twenty years, hav ing exhibited here last In 1886, we came back to you. Rain struck us Sunday night, and It was stilf pouring Monday. . It raiiud on the parade and rendered the day one of the worst In our experience. The lot was frightfully muddy, and despite all this ovor 3,000 people came and witnessed onr exhi bition yesterday afternoon, and last night there were present, over 10,000 people. That shows we sure remembered, and we go away only to return nexfc, year. The expositions here Implanted In. the breast of Omaha people the showing, going spirit. A belter show town does not exist, and It will so continue If the license question la not per mltted to take a fall out of shows and amusement lovers." The Robinson circus Is the oldest tent show In existence. It started in 1821; this Is Its 8Gth year. The circus experience and thought of the Robinson family cover lng all these years stands out In the splen did system of loading and unloading. In the protection of and attention shown patrons, and In the clever and sensational circus performance. There were over 100 minor acts, all meritorious, and four big thrillers. The circus was put on In three rings, on an elevated stage, on hippodrome track, and In mid-air' arena. Mud was everywhere and when a performer finished, he or she looked like a person made of real clay rather than of flesh and blood. Magnificent costumes were simply ruined, but to keep faith with the public this had to be. It was noticeable, and freely commented upon, that the Robinson circus Is free of graft. Not a game of chance or gambling device on the lot. It Is honestly conducted; Is big and good. Other shows In wind storms that were as a breath of air compared to that of yeeter day have blown down. The Robinson tents stood like Gibraltar Intact. With the show Is a boss ranvasman, Billy Curtis, who was born In this city' and who has never had a tent go down on him. He In some way, somehow, knows how to anchor the "white tope " Bo an Omaha boy stands premier In this line of the business.

ILL SINCE DAY OF INAUGURATION He Waa Reported Improving and Able to Attend to Pa bile Basin ess New Governor Is a Hrpebllcaa. CINCINNATI. O., June lS.-Jonn M. Paulson, governor of Ohio, died at his home In MHford. a suburb of this city, at 4 .20 o'clock this afternoon. He passed a good night and there was no report of any serious change during the day. Dur ing the afternoon the news from his home was considered favorable and the announce ment of death came without warning. That the death of the governor was en tirely unexpected was evident when it Is remembered that In a contest over the requisition of Ellsworth Liverpool In the courts In this city- today both of the gov ernor's physicians appeared to testify that his condition was such that he was able to transact official business. His private secretary, L. B. Houck. also testified to his good condition, explaining that he had re cently gone over much business with him. Although there haa been for months an expressed fear that Governor Pattison would not be able to return to his office at Columbus, the cheerful statements from his sick room tended to create a belief that any fatal outcome of his prolonged sickness would be long deferred. Ill Since Iaaagaratlon. Not at any time a man of powerful physique. Governor Pattison entered upon the responsibilities of his office In a some what weakened condition, the strain of the political campaign having so worn on him that. a trip to the south was taken In No vember and December In the hope of gaining his health. However,' when he re turned he was still weak, and under the advice of bis physician his part of the inauguration ceremonies was gone through with the utmost care. A glass covering was provided for the reviewing stand that he might be protected from the stormy January winds, and through that he reviewed one of the most elaborate parade that has ever graced the Inaugu ration of any Ohio governor. He then went to his home from which he only emerged for a few short walks until brought to this city on a special train on the night of April E. He continued to oversee the work of his office and through his private secretary, Louis B. Houck, who has been his running mate on the demo cratlc ticket, transacted considerable pub lie business, even when unable to arise from his bed. As soon as his condition permitted he was brought to Cincinnati, spending several weeks In Christ hospital, and a week ago be was brought to his country borne at MUlford. He has been reported as steadily gaining since then, although a report waa current last week that he had suffered a relapse. ketch of Hts Career. John W. Pattison, boy soldier, lawyer, state legislator, member of congress and governor of Ohio, was born . In Clermont county, Ohio, ...June 13. 1M7. .. He . enlisted as a volunteer In the United Btates army when but 16 years old. In 1864, and entered college immediately after being mustered out, graduating at the Ohio Wesleyan uni versity, Delaware, O., with the class of 1809, having been a college mate of United States Senator James B. Forakcr. He was admitted to the bar In 1872 and elected to the lower houae of the Ohio legislature In 1873. From 1874 to 1876 he was the attorney for the committee of safety at Cincinnati He became a member of the Ohio senate In 1890, and waa elected to the Fifty-second congress. For the past fifteen years he had been president of the Union Central Life In surance company. He was a democrat and one of the leaders in the state senate in support of legislation for a more stringent observance of the Sabbath. His position on this point was well known when he was given the democratic nomination for gov ernor one year ago and It was because of this that the anti-saloon league gave him Its support. New Governor a Repebllcaa. Andrew Llntner Harris, lieutenant gov ernor, who under the constitution, become governor for the balance of the term for which Pattison was elected. Is a republican. He was born In Butler county, Ohio, No vember .17, 1836. . He graduated at Miami university at Oxford, Ohio, with the class of I860 and the following year entered the union army and waa mustered out as a brigadier general by brevet. He waa elected lieutenant governor both times that Will iam McKinlry was chosen governor. Klaa: at Half Stair. COLUMBUS. O.. June 18. The news of Governor Pattison' death cast a gloom over the state capltol, where the deepest Interest haa been manifested in his condi tion, and the people have hoped against hope that he would recover and resume the active duties of his office. The flag on the capltol was ordered at half staff and arrangements were made for a formal meet ing of atate officials tomorrow to take ap propriate action and to attend the funeral. Governor Pattison had not completed the reorganization of various state departments at the time of his death, and inasmuch as acting Governor Harris Is a republican. It Is regarded as improbable that any of uthe remaining republican appointee's will be disturbed. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI DANCE Inclement Weather Greatly Redaces Atteadaaee at Aaaaal Faartloa.

Mr. Wll holt is one of a number of shippers who have filed complaints with the commis sioners, asserting that freight rates arc higher In Missouri than In neighboring states, and a reduction Is asked for. Mr. Wllholt testified that, not only was the whole table of rates for all shipments in Missouri too high, but that the Standard OH company is favored to the Injury of the Independent shipper. "Under the present rate," said the wit ness, "it costs me IS cents per hundred weight to ship oil from St. lunula to Bprtng field, 'Mo., aiid the ,ra"te to the Standard" from Chicago to St.' Louls, a much greater distance, Is only 5 cents. I cannot get oil In Chicago because there Is no inde pendent refinery there, so that I, along with Independent Jobbers, must ship from less favored points, making the oil laid down from Springfield cost us much more to transport than It costs the Standard." Mr. Wtlholt's testimony was brought out by C. D. Chamberlain, secretary of the National Petroleum association of Cleve land, who questioned him in the interest of the complainants.

COMPLETE ACCORD ' ON ALL POINTS Speaker Cannon Represents the Committee in White Home Oonferenoe. GOVERNMENT WILL PAY INSPECTORS FroTiaion for Court Review Is Stricken from the Bill, LABELS WILL NOT BEAR ANY DATES Meaaare Practically Complete Wlta Committee Adjoaraed and It Will Probably Be Seat to Coaferenre Today. WASHINGTON, June IS. The basis of a complete argeement on the meat lnepeo tion legislation between President lloose velt and the house committee on agri culture was arrived at today at the Whl'e Houae. Speaker Cannon represented the committee In this Instance and subse quently spent some time explaining (tie situation to the committee In Its room it the capltol. The bill wss practically com pleted when the committee adjourned to day. It will authorise an annual appropiia tion of $37,000,000 to pay the cost of In spection and will contain no provision for the levy of an assessment to make up any deficiency In the amount available for this work, as suggested by Mr. Cowan, repre senting the Texas cattle growers and later urged by the president. The court review provision will not be contained (a the measure. This action meets the sug gestion of the president. The words "In the Judgment of the secretary of agricul ture" will not be Inserted as suggested by the president and this conclusion now meets Mr. Roosevelt's approval. The section waiving the civil servtce law for one year in the selection of In spectors will go out of the provision, also one of the president' recommendations. o Date on iJibel. There Is to be no date on the label of the parking of meat food products. la this the president yields to the committee. The language which gives Inspectors the right to enter the packing plants at all times Is amplified by the words "whether the same be In operation or not." With these changes mode the president has Indicated his entire satisfaction with the measure which waa reported from the committee aa a substitute for the Bever ldge amendment and was today recommit ted to the committee that the change might be made. Ordinarily Speaker Cannon does not take such active part In legislation as he has in the present instance. It has been ex plained, however, that he regards th passsge of an adequate meat Inspection bill, with all possible speed, as vitally essential to the welfare of tnany Important Indus trie throughout the country. Objection to Head Tax. - The objection which waa urged to the. president aa a reason why he should not Insist on giving authority to the secretary of agriculture to levy tax to make up any deficiency waa the constitutional provision that congress shall levy all taxes. A head tax on animals, It was pointed out, would be an exceedingly unequal one, aa the value of a fin beef steer would be much greater than a steer of Inferior weight and condition, yet the tax would have to be the same. The same condition would pre vail as to all other animals killed for food. The guarantee of the constitution of every man's right to have his grlevancea heard before a court waa also presented to the president forcefully as to why tho de cision of the secretary of agriculture should not be made final, as would be the case should the words "in the discretion of the secre tary of agriculture'1 be Inserted through out the measure. In this argument, it is said, the president acquiesced. It Is probable that the agricultural bill will be sent to conference without delay. AMERICA " MEAT I BRTAIJI Canned Food for Soldiers Mast Bo Stamped) with Date. LONDON, June 18. Chicago meat again formed the main subject of questions In the House of Commons today. Mr. Hicks Beach, conservative, aon . of , the former chancellor of the exchequer, asked War Secretary Haldana what quantity of Chi cago canned meat was supplied to the troops In South Africa during the late war and what proportion of enteric death ought more properly to have been described as due to ptomaine poisoning. The secre tary replied that rather more than half tho canned meat supplied to the British troops in South Africa during the late war came from the United States. He could not say how much of this came from Chicago. The War office knew nothing of any cases of enteric fever which could be classed as ptomaine poisoning. ' Mr. Lee (liberal) wanted to know whether. In view of the fact that the committee on agriculture 'of the United State houae of representatives had omitted in drawing up the meat Inspection bill to stipulate that the packers atamp the date of manufacture of each article of food sold, th War office would not Issue an army order requiring every can of -meat supplied to the army to be plainly stamped with the date of manu facture. The secretary reassured Mr. Lee, Informing him that it bad long ben a con dition of the ordinary War office contract a that tins of preserved food must have the date of manufacture stamped visibly inside th tins.
