8T. PETERSBURG, June 29. An of
ficial denial la given to the report that
the emperor and court are leaving Peter
hof and returning to Tsarskoe Selo, owing
to the discovery of a revolutionary plot
among the palace servants. The report
Is officially accounted for by rumors fol
lowing the retirement of General Flesko, the
commandent at Peterbof. and the appoint
ment of Colonel Lermentoff, comnianQt-r of
the Imperial regiment of Uhlans as lits
aucceasor. The former's retirement is
atatt-d to be due purely to private con
siderations, but several officers of Ills staff
are indignant at ths promotion of Colonel
Lerrrentoff over their heads and have
asked to be relieved.. This gave riae to the
report of the discovery of a revolutionary
plot.
While the official explanations are re
garded with suspicion, as it Is beyond
question that the terrorists and revolu
tionists are constantly attempting to gain
a foothold In the palace, there is no cause
to doubt the truth of the official statement
that ths court hss no Intention of returning-
to Tsarako Selo this summer.
Peterhof In reality Is much eater from
the Imperial family than Tsarskos Selo,
being located on a gulf, enabling the im
perial yacht to be moored at a wharf 200
yardn from ths palace, always avalllabla
to convey the emperor and his family to
Finland, or some other place of security.
There la an elaborate system of wlreleas
telegraphy connecting the palace at Peter
hof with ths fortreasees of CronsUult.
Vlborg and Helelngfors and with the war
ships in the gulf, thus Inaurlng the, i em

side world as he was during the operators'
strike last fall. Since the revelations that
dlMoyalty had Invaded even "his majesty's
tfwjjreglment of the guards It Is assarted
he-.rttf nothing would be surprising.
Qeneral Trepnff, commander "of the palace,
who Is personally charged with protecting
the safety of the emperor's person, has
redoubled his precautions.
Garrison. Strengthened.
The garrison at . Peterhof - has been
strengthened by a guard of Clroassans and
the 'detachment of . Cossacks . about the
palace has been doubled. The servants at
tne palace, as heretofore, are the emperor's
faithful Nameluke and Tartars, soma of
whom do not speak the Russian language
The Russian servants are confined for ths
tih.e being to tried lackeys and valets, but
among these the terrorists have frequently
boasted that they have spies. .Newsboys
carrying sacks are forbidden to enter the
grounds of ths old palace, to which tha
public la admitted, and no one Is allowed
within the walls surrounding the grounds
of tha small palace where the imperial
family resides without a permit. Secret
police by the hundreds. In civilian clothes
throng tha parks and streets. The em
peror never drives out beyond the grounds
of the small palace and the members ot
the court are practically prisoners within
Its wails. The principal amuaement .ia
tennis, but all the cuatomary gaiety of
court life has vanished.

to meet the daughter of the greatest states

ROOT WILL VISIT NATIONS
am i I
Secretary of State Will Be Gaest of
Sonth. American Repnhllcs
for Tea Days.
WASHINGTON, Juns 2.-6eeretary-Root
will accept the hospitality of Chils and
make part of his trip along the west coast
of South America In a Chilean warship.
The United States cruiser Charleston, on
which Secretary Root will sail for South
America, is too large a craft to work ita
way along ths Inside passage from the
strait of Magellan to Valparaiso, Chile, and
consequently the American secretary of
State and his party will probably leave the
Charleston at Sandy Point lh the strait of
Magellan and go. aboard a Chlltan man-of-war
which can work Its way along between
the ialands of the nest coast and the main
land, thus shortening the trip by several
hundred miles and enabling Mr. Root to
remain longer In Chile.
Secretary Root will probably be in Rio
Janeiro for about ten days. His stops on
the west coast of South America will be at
Valparaiso, Chile, Callao, Peru, and Guaya
quil, Ecuador. From Valparaiso he will
Journey by rail to Bantlago, the capital ot
Chile. He will also take the rail trip from
Callao to Lima, the Peruvian capltol. The
distance from Guayaquil to Quito, the capi
tal of Ecuador, ia so great that Mr. Root
probably will be unable to make the trip.
After crossing the Isthmus of Panama
Mr. Root will go to Cartagena, Colombia,
to pay his respects to that government.
The Colombian secretary of state will
doubtless be at Cartagena to greet Mr.
Root and It Is not unlikely that President
Reyes himself will make the long trip from
Bogota to greet the American secretary ot
state. Cartagena will be Mr. Root's last
atop before returning to New Tork,

Experience and Stady of

Some reasons why Edward Rosewnler
should represent' Nebraska. ,n the I'nlttd
Btates senate were given by' E. J. Cornbh
last night at a meeting of republicans at
Twentieth and Cuming, held for the pur
pot.e of organising for primary wotk next
Tuesday. He began by saying that a pro
phet la not a prophet In his own country,
and that Mr. Rosewatcr Is better appre
ciated in the east than In Ms home state,
the eastern statesmen recognising tils abil
ity and looking constantly to him for In
formation as to the trend of western
thous-ht.
Getting down to Mr. Rosewater's quali
fications, he said:
You all know the Roosevelt sentiments,
for tha regulation of railroad rates, for the
control of monopolies, for equitable distribu
tion of the burdens of tsxatlon. Tnese are
the sentiments you have' been reading in
The Bee since It haa been a paper. Tne
Omaha Bee Is known for Its expression of
radical and original opinions, and It Is
quoted more In the east than all the nthrr4
papers combined, with the result thst Rose-
water ts a ramtllar name to the editors mid
etstesmen of the esst. There Is no paocr
In the fnlted States that more correctlv
Interprets events, showing where they le.iil
and pointing ottl their relation to the pub
lic welfsje, than The Omaha Bee. If It
were published In New York City It would
be aa great a paper as the country boasts.
ii is a paper unique in the west.
Qnnllgcatlons af Mr. Rosewater.
Mr. Rosewater has snent his life In tha
study of the polltl.-al affairs of the Ameri
can people, Sml especially in the Interests
of the people of thla atate. He Vnows Ne
braska from end to end. its resources. Ita
limitations. Its advantages, its needs.
When a tariff bill Is framed In congress
we want a man to represent us there who
Is thoroughly conversant, as he Is. with
every business Interest of the state.
lie knowa aa much about postal affairs
ss any man outside the postmaster gen
eral's office. His studies have made him such
a specialist in this line that he has twice
been chosen by presidents of the United
Statea to represent the country In the
International Postsl congress.
He saw how Important to the state ft
would be to get thegovernment Interested
In Irrigation , In western Nebrasks, and
he labored haVd to get the Irrigation plsnk
In the platform of the party. Nobody
knowa so murh about the atate a Irrigation
problems as he does.
The question of flnanee-Jie haa stndied
thoroughly. His articles on postal savings
hanks have been reproduced In the finan
cial Journals of the world.
Edward Rosewster, as senator from Ne
braska, would have the confidence of the
laboring men of th state, for they have
known him personally for . years. And
right here I want to say that the demo
cratic, party Is unsafe for labor to ally
Itself with, for the reaaon that It advocates
states' lights, snd union labor needs na
tional leglslstton.
In his thirty .active years before the
public Mr. Rosewater has slways stood
firmly for what he believed to be right.
He has worked for right principles within
tiie party. The fear that Rosewater snd
The Bee would get hold of wrongdoing hss
prevented more wrongdoing In office than
any thing I know of.

either for Rosewater or against him. .He
Is the Issue. There's nobody- for Crounse;
the people don't care about him. and those
who vote for his delegatea are doing ao
because of their enmity to Rosewster. The
secret of the opposition Is that he hss been
in every fight In the last thirty or forty
years. Why, thst very consideration ought
to be in his favor. But you -can't get Into
a political fight without stepping on toes,
snd Mr. Rosewater had to step on those
toes and make enemies, or he couldn't
have been so useful to the state as he has
been. His enemies sre not many, but they
are bitter. It Is safe to. say he has not
more than 100 enemies in the state. Why
should they prevent the public from get
ting the service of the best talent It has?
They fight his esndidacy because of per
sonal enmity and then try to cause trouble
with the ballot. I never knew anybody
to Juggle with the-ballot without tne peo
ple resenting It and making their feeling
known by their vote. They will resent
It this time. It Is going to De some troume
to vote next Tuesday, but with the sample
ballot which has been given each voter
It will not be so difficult after all. The
people will known how to vote, and the
fact that an effort haa been made to de
prive them of their ballot will cause them
to be all the more zealous.
No Time for Compromise.
I am not a particular friend of Mr. Rose-
water and I am not Indebted to Mr. Rose-
water, hut I am so tired of compromises,
of the riien who have no especially good
qualities and who have no enemies be
cause tiiey have done nothing. They float
into their places as a cork floats with the
current. When we have had a man up
with any strength of character he was
killed because somebody was opposed to
him.
With tils extensive acquaintance, his
profound knowledge of political affairs, his
influence, his devotion of his life to the
advancement of thought in the west, his
fixed opinions on public policy and the
fact that he la no atrangec to t.ie beat
statesmt-n of the country, 1 believe Edmard
Rosewater ts the best man we could send
:o the United Statea senate.

WASHINGTON, June 2P. The president
tonight at 11 : Ifi signed the railroad rate
bill. He also signed the Immigration Mil
snd the hill for the construction of a lock
canal across the istnmus of Panama.
WASHINGTON. June . The senate de
voted most of Its time today to, considera
tion of conference reports. Including the
reports of the railroad rate bill, the pure
food bill and the meat Insnectloji provision
of the agricultural hill. All were adopted
during the day's session.
The principal controversy waa over the
rate bill when Senators Bailey and Tillman
had a heated colloquy, the mora notable be
cause of the warm friendship existing be
tween' the two senators. The controversy
was on the subject of railroad lawyers snd
Mr. Ilalley expressed strong disapproval
of the South Carolina senator's views on
that subject. There was also much dis
cussion of the meat Inspection provision.
A number of senators expressed themselves
aa willing only to accept the house provi
sion because it was attached to an appro
priation bill and a deadlock would cauae
the failure of the supply bill.
Ttllmaa Opens Debate.
Senator Tillman called up the ennferenco
report on the railroad rate legislation and
began his attack upon the pipe line amend
ment aa being In the interest of the Stand
ard Oil company.
"About the time the Allison amendments
were incubating," lie said, "there was s
great furore about the Garfield report on
the Standard till ornpany and we wero
told that the exposures of its crimes would
help the vote on the rate bill and undr
the cover of this dust the president re
tired from his advsnred position on rail
road legislation and accepted the Alllso.t
provision. . There the big stick and (ne
pitchfork, which had been in alliance,
found themaelvea separated and the pitch
fork, while doing duty on the firing lire,
looked around only to see tha tall of fit
aasociate hustling to the rearsliding to
wards the Allison base, to uae a bass ball
phrase. The big stick wss rushing In on
all -four's target between Father Allison,
legs." . .
He had no fsult to find, hs added, ex
cept that he considered the president hid
been Inconsistent in not coming to the as
sistance of the senate conferees. He con
sidered it a little remarkable that Just
when he might do something to thwsrt
the policy of this gigantic monopoly he Is
aa mum aa a niouse, except that there is
now another hurrah about what the prssl
dent Is going to do to the Standard OH In
the way of suits."
Big Mca I'nmolested.
He added that notwithstanding the
prosecution has been decided upon we are
carefully told In advance that the hlg'l
officials, such as Rockefeller, Rogers and
Arrhbold, are not to be molested.
He then commented upon the employment
of District Attorney Morrison of Illinois as
special counsel tn this case, saying that hs
had demonstrated "how not to do It" lu ths
Waters esse. "If," he added, "they wanted
an expert In that line he is as good as
could be found.
In the same connection he said that h
had beeh Informed that Hon. Frank Monet t,
"the most competent of all attorneys, Is lo
lose his Job." He sdded: "So It goes, ths
dear people are bumbooiled every day. but
the hurrah goes on. The president assures
us that the crimes of the Standard Oil
company are to be punished, but when It
comes to a real fight and when there Is sn
opportunity to do so he alts dumb snd al
lows the house conferees to compel tbe sen
ate conferees to yield to the demands uf
the Standard Oil company."
Senators Cullom and Hopkins defended
Mr. Morrison as a painstaking .and dill
gent attorney and Senator Foraker asked
for the source of the South Carolina sena
tor's lnormatlon concerning ths probable
retirement of Mr. Monett. This. Mr. Till
man said, hs was not at liberty to give.
Senator McCumber protested against the
elimination of the provision of ths paas
amendment permitting tha free transpor
tation of farm laborers. Senators Dolllver
and Tillman agreed In assuring him that
they could bs carried as at present as
"harvest excursionists," to which ths North
Dakota senator replied that if that was
trus the bill is not worth ths paper It la
written on.
Elklns Defends Report.
Senator KJklne defended the conference
report, on the commodity amendment, say
ing that ss originally adopted ths pro
vision meant a confiscation of the property
of the Independent oil operatora. He also
took exception to Mr. Tillman's criticisms,
saying In reply thai ha, Mr. IClklns, Is ss
free from the Influence of Standard Oil
aa any member could be. He also declared
that the prealdent needs no defense and
he charged that the South Carolina sena
tor was aggrieved because the president
did not agree with him. Hs declared that
the effect of the Tillman policy would ba
to break down the Independent companlea
' and said apparently that was what Mr.
Tillman was trying to du. He admonished
I the South Carolinian that even If he de-
sired to injure the Standard Oil company
he should not at the asms ttma destroy
j the business of thousands of others. He
said the Standard Oil company la able to
take car of Itself and to the latter point
Senator Bailey replied that "whether that
company needa help or not it gets It. In
a colloquy between Senators Klklns and
Tillman relative to what th former knew
of Weat Virginia Mr. Tillman aald: "Wnut
you want In Weat Virginia Is otes." tj
which Mr. Elklns retorted: "You are hunt
ing votes In South Carolina yourself."
. Mr. Paly announced hla Intention to vnt
for the report, but confessed that neither
of the new provisions wss to his liking.
