stronger man than hla predecessor he prob
ably will be unequal to the tank of piloting
the country through the revolutionary up
heaval which la Just ahead, and thr gen
rsl belief Is that a dictatorship must come
Soon. '
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of
th events connected with ttte dissolution
of Parliament la that the government rsre
fully avoided notifying tho representatives
rf the foreign powers of what wag coming.
No word of official warning waa received
vn hy the representatives of Russia's
ally, France. The only Intimation that
fOmethlng was about to happen was the
areartinc of guards at the embassies,
legations and consulates shortly after mid
night, but thla morning. Immediately after
the guards had been stationed, notes were
sent Explaining the measures taken to pro
tect th foreign representatives. Vp to this
evening no other communication has been
transmitted to them.
The representatives of the powers were
blisy today dispatching long telegrams
to their governments advising them of the
sudden and serious turn of events. There
were several conferences of diplomats this
afternoon ennrrrning the advisability ot
Seklns. for warships, or at least of hiring
stesmsMpa to take off foreign subjects In
case of necessity, but no concerted action
w decided upon. Tonight the trains are
filled with foreigners departing abroad.
' amrra 'mail Riots.
An Imperial manifesto Issued tonight,
which Is regarded both as a threat and
an appeal to the emperor's millions of
inujlks to Join In suppressing the revolu
tion under promise of land, summons the
"faithful sons of holy Russia." Many lib
erals consldr this a direct encltement of
the Black Hundreds.
In spite of the excitement the day paased
with comparative quiet In the capital and
street rioting only began with the advent
of darkness, but the collisions generally
era on a small scale.
About midnight there were rumors of
heavier fighting at th Nawa gate, where
the massacre of the followers of Father
Oapon'took place eighteen months ago t
fltvv; The troops there are said to have
fred several volleys and It Is reported
there were a number of casualties.

Two rtandred Members Prepare to
Adopt itn Address to the People.
ST. PETF.HSBT.-Ra. July ZS.-i.K a. m.
the following- dispatch has been received
frorrr a representative of the Associated
Press who accompanied the members of
Parliament to Vlborg. It Is dated Vlborg,
midnight:
' Two hn mired" 'members of Russia's outlaw
Parliament are gathered here at the hotel
Belvedere -awaiting the arrival of Count
Heyden, M. Stakovlch and other prominent
members of the right before opening the
session at which wrlll be adopted a mani
festo that the people t summoned and
that they stand by the. dispersed assembly
noinbers of all shades of opinion, espe
cially the constitutional democrats, group
of 1611 and social democrats. Present
among the members here are M. Mouromet
seff, prealdsnt of the house; Prince Peter
Dolgoroukoff and 'Professor Orodeskul, Its
vice -presidents, and other officers.
The meeting will be called to order as a
regular session of Parliament. The dining
room of the hotel where the members are
assembled 4a in great contrast to the im
posing surroundings of the Taurlde palace.
It I crowded to suffocation with excited
and perspiring deputtea, who Are gathered
according to party affiliations, and In
formally caucusing and debating tactics
and discussing the text of their appeal, for
which a general drafting commission la now
being chosen. There is a strong possibil
ity that all parties will come to an agree
ment on the appeal as the radicals are not
disposed to Insist on an over-violent mani
festo rientnndlng the Immediate summon
ing of a constituent assembly by revolu
tionary means, to which the constitutional
democrata object. .
Tho constitutional democrata appear to
be downcast over the dissolution of Par
liament, but the members of the group of
toll and the socialists are In an exceedingly
combative mood.
. The corridors of the hotel are crowded
with correspondents and members of Par
liament. Among the latter are a number
of the council of the empire.
A crowd gathered In the adjoining streets,
but there waa no demonstration.
The correspondent telephoned at I o'clock
thla morning that the aession bad adjourned
until I o'clock. NO definite action was de
rided upon, but It waa resolved In prin
ciple to adopt an address to the people,
stating that the time for action had come
In view of the unconstitutional procedure
ot the government, but appealing to them
not to resort to measures which would en
tall bloodshed.

ST. PETERgBURQ. July 11 Qeneral von
Jlcbwanebacb, comptroUed of th empire
and one of the members ot the ministry
who remains In office, tonight gave the
Associated Press the government's explana
tion of the motive necessitating the dlsao
lution pf Parliament. . In a moat emphatic
fashion he tried to Impress upon the corre
spondent the Idea that dissolution did not
mean a return to the- old regime, and that
the emperor had not abandoned his purpose
to Introduce a representative government
In Russia. t
"Too can tell the American people." said
Qeneral von Behwanebach. "that this step
was forced upon the government as the
only way of extricating the country from
the horrible reign of blood and terroilani
which prevails. Tbe dissolution of the
present Parliament does not mean to re
turn to Irresponsible absolutism. The pist
Is dead forever.
"From hla majesty a own Hps I ran as
sure you that he still believes In the prln
el pie of popular' representation and firmly
Intends to adhere to It; but he became con
vinced that the present Parliament was
elected under abnormal conditions and did

country, end thst It wss necessary to
make another sppest to the nation."
"What la the history of the ukase?" was
asked the comptroller.
Tver since the assembling of Parlia
ment," he replied, "the Intranslgeant tem
per displayed convinced ua tthe ministry)
that the principal object of thnee In eon
trol waa to make It the center of revolu
tionary agitation. Instead of settling down
to constructive work, and therefore thst
sooner or later Its dispersal would be neces
sary. But we wished to wait until Its
Incsparlty and true role burned themselves
Into the minds of tbe people. As we antici
pated. Parliament proceeded to ' write Ita
own death sentence by demonstrating that
It neither was nor desired to be a legislative
body, but simply a revolutionary tribunal.
Nevertheless Emperor Nicholaa continued
to hope for a change of tactics, and only
consented to dissolution when every other
alternative had been exhausted.
"Ten days sgo his majesty was prepared
to accept a Parliamentary ministry: but
the constitutional democrats by their mad
Insistence on Impossible conditions dellber
stely rejected the opportunity. Thereupon
the emperor conferred with men of all
shades of politics) opinion dosens of them
every day and finally became convinced
that dissolution was Imperative."
"Does the delay In announcing the date
for the new elections Involve the Intention
of a change In the basts of representation
to universal suffrage?" wss asked.
"Not necessarily," replied M. von
ehwsnebaeh. "On thst point no definite
decision has been tsken."
"Where do you anticipate that disorders
will bresk out?"
"Certainly not In St. Petersburg. Prob
sbly they will be worst In the south. I am
convinced that the army la loyal. The dis
sensions which occurred among the troops
hsve not sapped their fidelity as a whole,
and once they are engaged against revolu
tionaries who do not hesitate to resort to
the throwing of bombs they will do their
duty."
Oenersl von Behwanebach declared that
the members of Parliament would not be
arrested either for their acts or speeches
In Parliament however treasonable these
might have been, as they were covered by
legislative Immunity: but he did not con
ceal the purpose of the government hare
after to hold the members strictly account
able for open acta of treason.

right for Endorsement Will Hake Turning
Point in Hit Candidacy.
WILL LARGELY DETERMINE NOMINATION
raslanlst Seeks to Prove that He Is
n Democrat by Carrying; This
Stronghold et tbe
Party.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 22. (Special.) During the
coming week George W. Berge. democratic
populist candidate for governor, will make
the fight of his political life and on the
result will depend largely whether he is to
be the democrstlc standard-bearer this fall.
The fight will be pulled off at Columbus
Wednesday at the democratic county con
vention. Berge Is after an endorsement and an
Instructed delegation In that county and
many who oppose him are seeking to defeat
the Instruction. The argument against
Berge In Platte county is that he Is not a
democrat, but a populist. As this Is the
democratic stronghold of the stste. sn en
dorsement for Eerge would mean a whole
lot for him and would necessitate his op
ponents getting up some other argument
to use against him.
Democrsts all over the state, it Is said
here, arc watching this contest, and many
of them will be Influenced by Its result.
Eerge thinks there Is no doubt he hns the
rank and file of the psrty with him, hut
that some of the leaders will try to "cfeat
him In the convention. For that reason he
will insist that the various counties where
he has friends Instruct for him.
Recently ISO letters were sent out asking
democrats who they were for for governor
and out of that number 23S were for Berge.
Special Car to Rrvan Reception.
Mayor Brown of Lincoln will attend tho
Bryan reception In New Tork and It Is
expected that about twenty good democrats
will go along In a special car. No knockers
will be Included In the party, only congenial
bourbons will be Invited.
Governor Mickey Better.
Oovernor Mickey Is somewhat better, ac
cording to reports this afternoon. After
the operation, performed to remove an
abeess near the right eye, he rested better
last night.
Bryan Day In Lincoln.
September 5 may be Bryan day In Lin
coln. It Is expected that Mr. Bryan will
retch the city sooner than at first an
nounced. Dr. P. L. Hall will arrange for
the oratory and it Is expected that rroml
nent orators will be Invited to take part.
I'nlqne Invitation to Oovernor.
Governor MlcWv ham rrrArit an Invita
tion from Madrid castle No. 42, Royal High
landers, at Tecumseh, to attend a feast
which Is to take place August 3. The
Invitation Is written In picture writing of
the Pawnee Indians on a largo piece of
leather and Is very unique in design. Being
Interpreted, the Invitation reads as follows:
"With the coming of the new moon, TecVa
weeka, or klll-a-bear-wlth-a-stona, Gov
Mlckey, the great white chief of the reser
vation of Nebraska, Is Invited to take the
test of the Sioux Warrior. The door of the
council chamber Is always open to the great
white chief." The new moon Is pictured In
the sky, below It a warrior Is flinging a
stone at a great, brown bear. Just below
this bloody episode the portrait of the
governor has been Inscribed by the srtlst
snd nesr It Is a tent, with the flaps of the
door flung wide open.
IAFOMBTTB SPEAKS IN HASTINGS
Many Hear Wisconsin Senator Discuss
Corruption in Legislatures.
HASTINGS. Neb.. July 22.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Before an audience which was un
doubtedly the largest ever assembled In
Haatlngs to hear a political speech, Sen
ator LaFollette ot Wisconsin this after
noon talked for nearly four hours of cor
ruption in the legislative bodiea of cities
and states and of corporation control of
the national law-making body. His speech
was full of sensational utterances regarding
the servitude of public officials to railroad
and allied Interests. The address waa de
livered at the Hastings Chautauqua and
was listened to by over t,000 persons. Mr.
LaFollette had been engaged to speak on
Saturday, but he waa unable to come until
today. Special excursion trains were op
erated from Kearney, Red Cloud and Han
over, Kan., and each brought several hun
dred persona. The big tent In which Mr.
LaFollette spoks was crowded for almost
two hours before he started his address.
Senator LaFollette began by Baying that
the eountry la today confronted by greater
dangers than ever before challenged the at
tention of the American people. ' He spoke
of Lincoln's speech on the battlefield of
Gettysburg, containing, he said, the simp
lest definition of democracy ever uttered,
though the same In meaning as that of
Washington, Hamilton and Webster. "Have
we got that kind of a government today?"
he asked. "Are the common councils of the
cities, the legislatures of the states, the
national congress truly represents tlve of
ths will of ths people? No. There is no
common council, no legislature and no aes.
slon of ths legislature which the corpora
tion interests seek tq control ahd fall. I
want to enlist the bankers and the busi
ness men of this town In the great move
ment to save the country. You cannot
pick up a newspaper tomorrow morning
without reading of some grand jury Investi
gating or Indicting some public official who
has betrayed his truat. In, Milwaukee a
grand Jury has been In session two yeara
Investigating the wrongdoings of publlo
officials. It has Indicted nearly everybody
who ever had anything to do with the gov
ernment of that city. Scorea of men have
been convicted and many of them pleaded
guilty."
Mr. LaFollette declared that the rail
roads had destroyed competition In the
grain business and that the American peo
ple had to depend fur their anthracite coal
upon eight railroads, which got entire con
trol of the supply by combining ownership
of ths mines with thst of the roads. Twelve
men. he said, controlled three-fourths of
the railroad capital of the country and less
than 100 control practically every impor
tant Industry. The speaker devoted the
major portion of his time (o a discussion
of the railroad rate questions. Ths passage
of the rata bill by the last session of con
gress, he said, waa a step In the right
direction, but he declared that the law
oontalned one vital defect the absence of
any means or authority by which a "reas
onable rate" could be determined. "The
Interatate Commerce commission can never
fix a 'reasonable rate' until It finds ths
value of the railroad property and uses
that value as a basis In determining what
the rsts should be."
Senator LaFollette added that when the
rate debate was In progress In the senate
he offered eight amendments, seven of
which had been recqnimended by the In
terstate Commerce commission. Each one
of these wss tabled. He read the vote of
the senators on several of these amend
ments and aald ths line-up of the members
was practically ths same on all. Mr. La
Follette closed with a review of the flght
which hs led In Wisconsin. He said that
In IK enough delegate to the state .con
vention atere pledged to his support to In
sure his nomination for governor, but that
enough ot them to defeat him wars after-
wards bought off In the room of a Wiscon
sin I'nlted Ststes senator.

Vnndevllle nt the BIJon.
The bill at the BIJou for the current week
Is sufficiently varied to give everybody
some sort of show for his taste, and Is
good enough for anybody. Hugh McCor
mlck Is a ventriloquist of much attainment
and makes a good deal of sport with his
msnniktn. Pauline Courtney oontlnues an
Immense success with her Illustrated songs.
Russell and Held do an Interesting song
snd donee turn, the dancing being ahovjt
a block ahead of the singing In point of
merit. The hit of the bill Is furnished by
a team whose Identity the program does
not disclose. The- sketch Is put together
with an Idea to nllow each member to do
all he or she ran. The woman alngs a
couple of songs very well, one of them be
ing the well known moonlight and girl song
from "Wang," In Imitation of Delia Fox,
and the hoy sings and dances and bur
lesques with such success ss to fairly bring
down the house. Mr. and Mrs. Watermis
close the olio with some songs that are
most enjoyable. His rich, strong snd
resonant bass Is eminently fitted for the
ballad. "Asleep In the Deep," snd for sn
encore he sang the "Armorer's Song," from
"Robin Hood." most effectively. Mrs. Wa
terous sings "Dearie" and a pleasing little
parody on one of the popular Indian songs,
and Jolna her husband In a duet. Her voice
la a mexio-soprano of considerable jower
and much mellowness, especially In the
headtones, which are well produced.
"In Old Virginia," a one-act comedy
drama, is being offered this week with Mr.
Truesdell. Mr. Vsn Dyke, Misa May. Miss
De Lany and Miss Courtney In ths cast.
