PETERSBURG, June lS.-In spite of the government's left-handed denial that It Intends to order a parlia mentary recess the Rech today expressed the fear that a coup d'etat la immjnent snd appealed to the country to m' voice hesrd In favor of the dtsr the mlnlatry and a prolongation existence of Parliament. An official its z'v. haa been given out of the report members of the mlnlatry participated the et stone of the Trepoff Star Chamb. at Teterhof, which It la understood, has absolutely decided that Parliament must lie got rid of and la only hesitating In itgard to the method. Three ways ara proposed: First, to order a recess of Par liament for three months; second, to dis solve Parliament and order new elections hased on universal aufferage. In the hops that the temper of the Parliament thus elected will be different from the presrnt body; third, to declare the council of the empire or upper house the representative body until a new Parliament Is elected. There are two features of the situation which make the court camarlfla pause the early necessity for more money and the dismay over the growing disaffection of the troops. Nicholas Bore Concllntory. Though rumor Is busy with the success of the reactionaries at ePterhof. reassur ing Information has been received from the palace tonight that Emperor Nicholas has decided to send a senatorial commis sion to the Baltic provinces to Investigate the complaints agalnnt the activity of the military authorities and to learn whether they are justified In claiming that execu tions and martial law cannot be aban doned. , Metropolitan Antonius, entertaining mem bers of the lower house tonight, assured them that the government, did not intend to recess Parliament against the will of the majority. An-rarlan Commlaaloa Elected. .The election of the agrarian commission of ninety-nine today Indicates the second stage , of agrarian legislation in the lower House of Parliament, but the unwieldy size of the commission and the reservation of eight places for members who have l-V. 'arrived, gives- alight prospect Of. a speedy presentation of a draft of a law. The commission consists virtually of the timer elide of the strongest men in Par liament, the constitutional democrats, nam ing among the members M. Petrunkevltch, l'rof. llortXMnsteln, Prince Dolgourokoff., M. Petiajlvsky and Nicholas Lvoff; the "group of toil." naming M. Anlkln and M. Alladln and the conservatives, Count Hey den, M. Stakovlch and Prlncea Oeorgl, Lvoff. VolonBky and I'rusoff. The make-up of Mm. Petrajlvsky and Lvoff la evidence that the constitutional democrats are not Irrevocably committed to the project elabor ated by the party convention held on the eve of the assembling of Parliament, the deputies named having vigorously attacked the provision for the rental Instead of sale of expropriated lands as a step towards nationalisation. Tlie Polish representatlvea are unanimously opposed to this proposition and It probably will be eliminated, as It waa Inserted only In deference to the rad ical group, which the constitutional demo cratic leaders are no longer attempting to conciliate. Attempt to Kill Trepoff. A circumstantial report is In circulation today of an attempt on tha life of Oeneral Trepoff, commandant of the palace, by a well dressed woman masquerading aa Prin cess Nartahkln. According to rumor, the woman gained admittance to tha palace and when Trepoff appeared she drew a re volver, but before it was fired she was seised. The story Is denied by the poilce. The massacre of Jews at Rlalystok has allocked the country and added to the gen eral excitement, and the revelations whli-i the committee of the iower house of Pnr- liament sent to investigate the outbreak at Btalystok ara expected to make onl added fuel to. tha flames. Thus far the cenaor at Btalystok has evidently re fuse J to allow the press correspondents to ssnd anything reflecting on the authorities. Newspaper Coansrntod. The Ooloe, a newspaper edited by Mul- lanneff, a member of the lower house of Parliament, containing an account of fh horrors and charging tha authorities of BiaJystok with deliberately preparing tha riot, waa confiscated when it appeared to day. ' Dispatches from the Interior today bring the usual chronicle of murder and robber-. Fresh strikes are reported at Kaluga, Krementcbug, Zhitomir, Volsk and Vst'.ug Veliki, but the success of the at tempt to precipitate a general strike Is by no means assurred. The Novoe Vremya, however, reports thst the engineers of the Moscow railroad have decided not to take Out their locomotives tomorrow. The gov ernment baa made tha most elaborate prep arations to meet lbs strike movement. Military tralna ara held In readlneaa at all the stations of St, Petersburg and Mos cow. The masons and stone cutters joined the bakers in tha strike today and tlis butchers will follow their example tomor row. The prices of bread and meat have been doubled.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1 Twenty years of hard labor In solitary confinement In the eastern penitentiary was the sentence pro nounced today on John Joseph Kean, the abductor of little Freddie Muth. The enor mity of the man's crime, which had aroused the whole city, stirred the officers of the law to quick action and the swiftness with which Justice moved has never been equale In this community. Kean foil into the clutches of the law yesterday after noon about the time the courts were clos ing. Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning he was photographed and measured by the Bertllllon method. Twenty-five minutes later he had been arraigned before a mag istrate and committed fo court without ball. The grand Jury found n true bill and at 11:20 a. in. he waa In the criminal court awaiting his turn to face Judge Sulzberger. Shortly after 13 o'clock the Judge passed sentence upon him and at 1:30 o'clock the. Iron doors of the penitentiary closed behind him. In his quick trip from liberty to the solitude of the Cherry Hill, the institution which Dickens made famous In his Ameri can notes by, condemning Its system of solitary confinement, no friendly hand or voice was raised In the prisoner's behalf. If he behaves himself his sentence, under the law. will be reduced to twelve years and three months. The court hod the power to give him a life sentence. Mark Sympathy for Family. Much sympathy Is expressed for the wife and three children Kean leavea without support. Mrs. Kean Is prostrated by the shock and disgrace that the abduction has brought upon the family. She will brenk up her home and remove to New Tork. where she has relatives. "Had I disposition of this case I Would summon a large number of mothers here and turn you over to their tender mercies, but as the law fixes the penalty for crimes like yours I can do nothing but commit you without ball for the action of the grand jury on the charge of kidnaping." These words were addressed by Magis- trat. Elsenbrown to John Joseph Kean. the abductor of Albert Muth, the 7-year-old boy, who, with his captive, was discovered yesterday after a six days' search In a vacant house In West Philadelphia. It waa the Intention of the poilce department to railroad the prisoner to the penitentiary and Immediately after the hearing Captain of Detectives Donaghy went before the grand Jury with hla witnesses and asked for an Indictment. District Attorney Bell said he would do everything in hla power to facilitate the trial of Kean. The magistrate's office was crowded and muttered threats could be heard when the prisoner was placed in the dock. Many of the spectators were women. Kean, sfter a sleepless night In the cell, appeared haggard and wan. He still seemed fotea'r bodily Irtjury-snd eye the specta tors auspiciously. The "police "say lie paced the cell all n!M. sobbing and moaning, his wife and children being uppermost In his mind. Tha grand Jury found a true bill against Kean and he was given an Immediate trial and convicted In less than an hour. Judge Sulzberger sentenced the prisoner to twenty years. From the time of Kean's arrest until he was on his way to the penitentiary to begin sentence less than twenty-four hours had elapsed. When Keen was taken before Judge Suli berger he requested to be allowed to make a statement. He said there were mitigating plr.iimi(BnAa In .nn.ui.lnn m'lth (tin trln . . ... . , . , . , . naplng but the judge told the pr soner he must either plead guilty or not guilty. Kean then pleaded guilty. Three witnesses, the two special police men who made the arrest and the propri etor of ths eating house who had seen Kean and tha child together, then gave testimony before ths Judge. No Jury was chosen. The prisoner was sentenced Immediately. COMPANIES MAY BE BARRED lasaraneo Commissioner of California Prepares List of Concerns Re-fastna- to Obey Orders.

A tacit agreement was reached today by the pres- Secretary Shaw and the 'Ration of representative citizens of Son Fran cisco by which substantial aid will be given San Francisco by the government. It Is proposed the United States deposit with the Pan Francisco banks $12,000,000 of the government money with bonds of the city as security for the deposit, the money to remain with the banks until such time as the government shall call for It. This may not be for a number of years, so that the banks have practical assurance that they may retain the de posits for such a period as will be of value In the reconatructlon of the city. Under the law the secretary of ths treasury has authorltf- to deposit govern ment funds In this w'y. He can not, of course, bind his successor to leave the money oa deposit, bt he himself may leave If until It Is neSded by the -government.' It Is proposed' In California to or ganise a corporation with a capital of several million dollars, composed of prom inent and influential men throughout the state of California and other states and to issue bonds to guarantee ths govern ment against loss through the banks. Other plans have been nuggestad for the raising of money to enable the people of San Francisco to rebuild their homes and' business nouses, but thus far nothing has been proposed that will meet the ideas of congress.

Bill GAMBLE LANDS ELLIOTT IN SOUTH DAKOTA Credit for Sernrlng Additional Ap propriation for National Guard Das to Nebraska Dele gation In Ho sse. (From a Staff Correspondent). WASHINGTON. June 19.-(Speclal Tele gram ) Judge Klnkald secured the eye of the spesker today to call up his bill grant ing to ths village of Crawford about 135 acres of the military reservation adjacent to Crawford for park purposes. This be ing suspension day. Judge Klnkald put his best foot forward In order to avoid a di vision on the passage of the measure. Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky started out In dead opposition to the bill, but by the time he had all his questions answered he subsided, although not convinced thst the bill should pass. In reply to a question of Mr. Gilbert, Judge Klnkald said there was plenty of land n that locality and there would be a great deal to spare after the 135 acres were taken out. He stated there were 15,000 acres In the military res ervation and that for a great many years the village of Crawford had used this lnnd through a license granted by the secre tary of war. Up to this time the village had never deemed it advisable to make permanent Improvements In the park; first, because It was not In a position to do ao. and, second, because the town felt It would not be warranted In doing anything on ac count of the uncertainty that the license might at any time be revoked. But now. as the village has taken on new !lfo and the town was growing, It felt it oufcht to have the land outright. Judge Klnkald said It was particularly adapted to park purposes on account of Its scenic char acter. Mr. Gilbert: "I will withdraw my ob jection with the mental reservation thnt you are not entitled to the property at all." Judge Klnkald: "All right, I yield to you the mental reservation in consideration of 1344 acres of the military reservation." and with these little amenities the bill wss psssed. Elliott Lands With Gamble. Senator Gamble, who has returned from South Dakota, greatly elated over the work of the convention and hla renomlna tlon, wss at ths White House today, talk ing over matters in relation to federal patronage. As a result of the interview he authorized the announcement to be made that James D. Elliott would be appointed to the position of United States attorney for South Dakota. The contest over the federal patronage in South Dakota started last December on this particular position, Senator Gamble standing for the reappoint ment of Mr. Elliott, while Senator Klt- tredge, Congressmen Martin and Burke recommended the appointment of A. C. Blernatzkl. In order to make the right for Senator Gamble, Mr. Elliott resigned the position about two months ago and was not a candidate for reappointment, ex cept as made so by Senator Gamble. It Is understood the president, on his own initiative, tendered the position to Senator Gamble for Mr. Elliott. Before Senator Gamble's return It was stated an effort would be made by other members of the delegation to effect some sort of an agree ment or some basis of adjustment In the matter of federal patronage In the stato. From indications since Gamble's return there seems little likelihood of the two factions getting together. Drlscoll Mnst Stay In Xavy. Senator Millard has been endeavoring to secure the discharge of Arthur P. Drlscoll of South Omaha, a yeoman In the United States navy. He has not been auccessful. Secretary Bonaparte having written the senator that he could not grant the re quest, quoting an order of the president which forbids the discharge of soldiers or sailors. for any cause except disability until the terms of enlistment shall have ex pired. The discharge of Drlscoll la sought because the mother of the young sailor Is In precarious health and desires to have her son home again. Amending Otoe Relief Bill. Seven members of the committee on pub lic lands today signed an agreement to re port to the house, as An amendment to the bill introduced by Mr. Ilinshaw providing for the adjustment of Kales of lands In the Otoe and Missouri reservation in Nebraska and Kansas, the following: Provided that all original entrymen or their assigns who completed their contract with the government and subsequently held their lands, shall be entitled to reimburse ment Instead of their grantees who took tllte sfter patents were Issued. Credit to Kennedy and Pollard. To Representatlvea Kennedy and Pollard Is much of the success of the passage of the militia bill today in the house due. Un til recently the speaker was inclined to oppose the bill Increasing the appropria tion for a national guard. No one has been more persistent In urging its passage than General Culver, adjutant general of the Nebraska National Guard. A week ago he called upon tha Nebraska delegation to make a final effort to get the bill through congress. Kennedy nd Pollard went to the front, getting Senator 'Hemenway of Indiana lntereated, through Senator Mil lard's Influence, and It was passed in the upper body without any difficulty whatso ever. The house was then canvassed and when the speaker realised thst members quite generally ravorea tne measure lie I consented to allow It to be called up today ,ne -"" ....., i General Morrell or Pennsylvania, and after ! an exolanation of the mertta of tha meaa- m-e. m which caPtam huh of ioWa and 1 Champ Clark of Missouri participated, the bill was passed under suspension of the rules.. It may be said with entire truthful ness that the Nebraska delegation has done more to put the bill through thsn all other Influences combined. Minor Matters at Capital.

The ques tion of the forthcoming primaries was dis cussed, but no definite conclusion could be reached as to the most effective method for rapturing the entire delegation for the Fontanelle's preferred csndidate for sen ator. It was conceded that the Rose water delegation had a long start In the game, and with the plan now pursued by the Rosewater committee In keeping the names of the delegation before thf public, the court's order Is likely yet to prove a boom erang against the sponsors of ths rotation method of placing the ticket. The project of resuscitation the Municipal Record with the ostensible purpose of familiarizing the public with the Fontan elle ticket was diHcussed. but some doubts were expressed as to the expediency of such a move, owing to the fact that the Municipal Record endorsement of a ticket might Invite too active hostility and give the voters too strong a hunch against a ticket they might want to defeat. The mat ter was left open until the next secret nkcetlng of the governors, when It is thought that some plan may be Incubated that will secure the election of st least a part of the Fontenelle delegation. The har mony that prevailed at the meeting was of the strained variety and great quantities of claret were quaffed as a substitute for oil to quiet the threatening storm. The general consensus of opinion among the more conservative members was that in insisting upon the rotation feature of the delegate ticket a serious mistake has been made, and that Instead of helping the Fontanelle delegation means Its certain defeat. There was a suppressed feeling of unrest and uncertainty all through the meeting. Nothing waa accomplished other than the realization of the fact, that the Fontanelles are hard against It, and with the desertion from Its rsnks of many hitherto faithful, there Is very little com fort In the future. One of the attendants at the meeting volunteered the observation that: "The serious mistake we have made Is In getting too much World-Herald Into the Fontanelle delegation. It looka too much as If we were trying to purchase favor with the World-Herald, and that the Fontanelles were simply auxiliaries to the father-in-law aggregation." TWO MARE'S NESTS DUG UP Ko . Foundation for Tales Abont The - Bee and Its F.dltor Played Vp In the W.-H. "The World-Herald must be In hard lines for sensations when it hss to dig up mare's nests around the Bee building. No one ever dreamed of denying that the city hall boilers were drawn on for ton days for steAm while The Bee building boilers were undergoing repairs," sold Victor Rose water. "That'a why we got permission to do so from the mayor. We made our own connections and furnished our own fire man and used our own coal so that the city was not only out nothing but got the bene fit of some of our steam. We have done this two or three times by permission of the city authorities, and we have helped out the city hall once or twice on power or current. It Is simply the reciprocity of neighbors and we stand ready to lend our steam plant to the city whenever the city hall machinery gets out of order, which is liable to happen any time, just as we hel;. out the World-Herald when It runs short of print paper or vice versa. "The second yarn about . Edward Roae water cutting short his trip abroad on ac count of local politics has even less foun dation. Mr. Rosewater made steamship arrangements for his return passage at the time nf his outgoing voyage and has not varied his plans In this respect one lota. He counted all along to be home by the first of July, and that Is ons reason why I had the primaries set forward where they are."

FARM PRODUCTS WILL NOT BE INSPECTED Men Who Kill Stock Baised by Them leWea May Ship Anywhere. REVIEW BY COURTS IS NOT PROVIDED Date of Inspection Not to fie Noted on Commodity. RAILROADS MUST WATCH SHIPMENTS May nt Accept Meat for Interstate Commerce After September In less Approved and Passed by laspectors. WASHINGTON, June 19. -With practical unanimity the house today adopted the substitute amendment for the Reverldge amendment to the agricultural appropria tion bill relating to meat Inspection, the objectionable features of former amend ments being eliminated and the amendment perfected to meet the wishes of the presi dent. An effort was made to extend the time of debate, but Air. Wadsworth. chair man of the committee on agriculture, de siring to get the bill Into conference as soon as possible, objected. After the adop tion of the amendment the bill was sent to conference, the conferees being Mr. Wailsnorth, Mr. Scott (Kan.) and Mr. Lamb (Va.). Immediately after the disposition of the agricultural appropriation bill a large num ber of bills were passed under suspension of the rules. Through the efforts of Mr. Champ Clark of Missouri and Mr. Williams of Mississippi the bill known as the subsidiary sliver coinage measure fulled of securing enough votes to pass under the rule. Meat Bill Taken Up. "I move to suspend the rules, discharge the committee of the whole house on the state of union from the consideration of the senate amendments to the agricultural ap propriation bill, disagree to all the amend ments except No. 29 (the meat Inspection amendment), to concur In amendment No. 29 with the amendment recommended by the committee on agriculture and nsk for a conference with the senate on the dis agreeing votea." Interest was shown In every part of the house today when Mr. Wadsworth made the above motion soon after reporting the agricultural appropriation with the com promise amendment relating to meat In spection. Mr. Williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, amight to have the time of debate extended to forty minutes for each side Instead of twenty under the rule. Mr. Wadsworth said he regretted that ho could not comply with the request, and the read ing of the meat Inspection amendment was begun, nearly every member present fol lowing the reading with bill in hand. Mr. Wadsworth, In explaining the ohanges made In the substitute for ths original meat Inspection amendment, said that the changes were mostly In verbiage and then took them up seriatim. He called atten tion to the elimination of the court .re view clause and the date of inspection. Farmers Tt'ot Affected. Mr. Olmsted called attention to one sec tion of the amendment, providing that on and after October 1, 1906, no peraon, firm or corporation shall transport or offr for transportation and no carrier or Interstate or foreign commerce shall transport or re ceive for transportation from one stale or territory or the District of Columbia U any other stats or territory or the Dis trict of Columbia "any carcasses of meat or meat food products unless marked In spected and paased," and In another por tion of the amendment the provisions of the act requiring Inspection "shall not ap ply to animals .slaughtered by any farmer on the farm and sold and transported aa Interstate or foreign commercs." He wanted to know how thess two seo tlons harmonized. Mr. Wadsworth replied that the com mon carrier need not inquire. He knows when a farmer gives him a carcass for shipment that tha 'inspection feature of the amendment la waived. Mr. Wadsworth then facetiously took up small changes In the verbiage inadvertently saying "They Inserted" In one or two cases, but amid laughter (hanging the statement to "we Inserted." "If it soothes the feelings or certain Individuals I am perfectly willing that they all shall go in," aaiil he. He explained that the ctvll service was put In the original house bill to ex pedite the work but that It went out be cause It was not thought necessary. Mr. Lamb (Va.), the ranking member of the minority of ths agricultural com mittee. Insisted that the bill wss defective In that the government waa obliged to pay the cost of Inspection. It waa his opinion that the cost should be borne by tha pack ers. Humor of Williams. Mr. Williams (Miss.) enlivened the de bate by calling attention to tne different- of opinion between two sons of New York I (ths president and Mr. Wadawurth; "Now Is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New Yoik," said Mr. Williams, which caught the humor of ths house. In a semi-humorous vein Me. Williams continued: We must, under the rules of the house, vole this proposed leglnlatlon up Just a It come to us nursed by tne speaker and the president and approved of by the rom ni Hue, because the committee on agricul ture could nut well do anything but ap prove after these two great ruling author ities hud Miken; we must vote It up or voi it down.
