A rumor mas spread tonight: this course had been derided upon. j A large crowd gathered at the ff station tonight, where the deputies i expected to arrive, but only a few app end these were not molested and nritnor was there a popular demonstration. Among the arrivals were President Mouremtseir and Ivan Petrunkevltch. The former came on a local train, entirely unattended. He waa plainly downcast, and responded to the salutation of the Associated Press corre spondent by the mere raising of his hat and hurried on to escape an Interview. Publication of Appeal Prohibited. Copies of the appeal to the people are In the hands of all St. Petersburg newspapers, but It will scarcely be printed tomorrow, for the reason that a detachment of police Is posted at the door of every newspaper printing office In the city, with orders not to permit any papers to leave the building until authorised by the censor. The authorities hope by equally vigorous meas ures to prevent the publlcstlons of the appeal In other cities and In the meantime to nullify Pie fears of the people as to the IHisslble effect of the appeal.

This is the solution to which Premier Stoly pin and tha members of his cabinet, who r'alixe the enormous nature of the task of tiding over the country during the tem pestuous era thnt Is . now dawning, are turning. Rnd It was the sabject of delibera tion at a meeting of the cabinet last night nnd again this evening. The Associated Press Is informed that a majority of the ministers have become converts to the Idea nd that Ita adoption depends on the success of M.

RUSSIAN DELEGATES DECIDE TO LEAVE At Request of Ambassador Benken- dorlT They Finally Consent to Remain Mr. Bryan Pre sents Resolntlon. LONDON, July 23. The fourteenth con ference of the Interparliamentary union was opened In the Royal gallery of the palace of Westminster today. Adherents of International peace from all the parlia ments of Europe, as well as several of those of the Western Hemisphere, wete present, but hardly had the conference opened when, amidst a scene of considera ble excitement Prof. Maxim Kovalevsky. a member of the lower house of the Russian Parliament, announced that he and his col- eagues, representing the youngest Parlia ment In the world, would be obliged to withdraw In consequence of the dissolution of the body they were officially applnted to represent. There were about 610 delegates present, the American representation being headed by Congressman Richard Bartholdt, while William J. Bryan occupied a seat on the platform. Iyird Weardale (Sir Philip Stanhope) opened the congress, his preliminary Sen tences of welcome being specially addressed to the Russian delegates, whereupon the delegates rose In a body and. turning to ward the delegation of the late Parliament, cheered them to the echo. I,ord Weardale also Incidentally men tioned President Roosevelt ss having been assoclnted with them In the work of peace. Prtinli-n Cheer for Free Russia. Premier Canipbell-Bannerman, In reply. reminded his hearers that King Edward had always been a great advocate of peace. The British government, he said, was In entire sympathy with the object of the con ference, whose work had already aroused among the nations a strong feeling In favor of peace. The world had far too long been nothing less than a huge military camp. The premier especially greeted the mem bers of the Russian Parliament and paid a tribute to Emperor Nicholas, who had dono so much toward the enhancement of ideas of peace. It could, he thought, be safely asserted thnt the Russian Parliament, al though dissolved, was sure to conic Into existence. Then the premier, in a sudden access of enthusiasm, shouted "La duma est morte! Vive la duma!" ("The Russian Parliament Is dead; long live the Russian Parliament!") The delegates rose to their feet and a storm of cheering continued for a couple of minutes. In conclusion the premier said he hoped that at the next peace conference at The Hague a general act would bo drawn up providing for the submission of all questions of dispute without restrictions to The Hague tribunal for the universal good of humanity. Count Apponyl, tha Hungarian minister of worship, followed, characterizing the pre mier's speech as a "direct message from King Edward, the latter announcing on his work of the conference." The count went on to say that the Brit ish premier's appeal for the relief of every nation from the burdens of their military budgets could not be fruitless. The Par liaments mutt follow suit. On Count Apponyl' suggestion a tele gram was sent to King Edward, as fol lows: The Ii'terparllament conference received the king's adhesion with profound grati tude. May ho long be spared to promote the welfare of his people and the cause of International peace. Russian IJeleKates Leave. Then came the most dramatic moment of the opening of the session. Prof. Kova levsky rose, but some minutes elapsed be fore he could gain a hearing, so pro longed was the cheering. Finally, in a voice somewhat broken with emotion, he announced the necessity for the withdrawal of the members of the Russian Parlia ment. He said: We came here In behalf of the Russian nation to partake In the great work of the conference. The Russian peopltj desire peace. The mission of the Russian Parlia ment was to snatch a great people from a regime of violence and substitute tor it a sense of reality, liberty and Justice. We hoped to take an active pari in your work, but our mission comes to a suden end, us our Parliament has been dissolved and we are no longer official representatives. Our sympathy remains. We return home with the determination to continue the great struggle for freedom, liberty and justice. The announcement of the withdrawal of the Russian delegates wa met with a storm of protests and shouts of "No! No!" and attempts on every side to induce tha Russians to remain, but the latter Ineilsted that they no longer had any official status and must leave England for Russia this evening and return to the "battlefield." The Russian delegates then left the hall and the conference settled down to busi ness. But the Incident attending the dissolution of the Russian Parliament was for some time discussed far mors eagerly than the business of the conference. American Proposals Presented. Lord Weardale, who had In the meantime been elected president, had soma difficulty In getting the excited delegate quieted, but ultimately attention became absorbed in the discussion In th reports of the, commission on the American proposals for an international case and a model arbitra tion trety to be submitted to the next conference at The Hague. Mr. Bariholdt expressed particular grati fication at the solution suggested by the committee appointed at Brussels of this most perplexing problem. The scheme to convert the next Hague conference Into a permanent body, which would meet at stated periods, and to create a council for the codification and development of inter national law, he considered o thoroughly practicable and timely that no well dis- j posed government could object to It In i conclusion Mr. Bartholdt said: "What we want Is a world organization and a system of law In order to replace , arbitrary power In International relation." Bryan Ha Suggestion. The former Austrian minister of com merce Von Plener presented th report of the Brussell commission, giving th proposed model treaty of arbitration. He said that while It waa Impossible to recommend the American proposal In It entirety some of the features were good, notably the means by which It proposes to decrease the cost of arbitration. Herr von Plener moved the adoption of the model treaty as amended by the com mission together with a recommendation urging on the power that when arbitration 1 impossible to have recourse, singly or Jointly, through the mediation of a third power before declaring war.

The witness said that he went to the manager of the People's plant at the beginning of every season to make ar rangement! to get ire and the manaer sent htm to the Helm Brewing company's plant, where he got the Ice. The witness said' that he had bought Ice of the Vander-slice-Lynds Ice .company at times at the suggestion of the manager of the People's company. The testimony today showed that most of the peddlers of the people's company buy their Ice at the Vandersllce-Lynds plant. The witness said that ha does not try to get Ice from any other "source than the People's Ice company because he could not buy cheaper elsewhere...- He said he was notified April 28 by the welghmaster at Helm's of the advance In price, which was to go into effect May 1.

Three prom Inent German engineers and builders Ksrl Eekermann of Leipzig and L. von Frege and Joseph Stuls of Berlin, have been studying the effect of the disaster with the Intention of making a report to several German scientific societies. especially concerned with building prop ositions. "We have found" said Eckermann yesterday, "that the structural steel frame. or class A building, successfully with stood the shock and meets all requirements from the earthquake standpoint. In our report we shall so set forth the truth and clear away a lot of false Impressions on that subject, now carried In Europe. A more liberal use of reinforced concrete In building here Is desirable. "There are substitutes for wood which reduce to a minimum the danger from fire. But, of course, if a city does not have and adequate water system with which to fight a fire there Is always danger of conflagration, no matter how modern Its building may be."

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AGAINST MEN Tobacco Sack Containing- Army Shells Fonnd Where Man Who hot Lawyer Waa Seen at Sight. SHOSHONI, Wyo.. July 23. (Special Telegram.) The arrest of colored soldiers is expected today In the Moody case. Sheriff Stough and three deputies left this morning for the cavalry camp, seven miles out. Intending to sweat and arrest the men If Justified. The evidence Is purely circumstantial. A woman saw a man. fleeing from the scene of the murder, stop and make a hurried search. A tobacco sack .containing cavalry shells was found there and the bullet found In Moody is of the same kind. If this theory Is true Moody was killed through mistake for Policeman McCoy, who had handled drunken soldiers roughly In disarming them a few days previous. Local Masons will Issue a call to all In the Jurisdiction for a big fund to prose cute the case. Burdett Moody, a brother of the dead man, will arrive from Los Angeles tonight. Stough would not bring the men here if arrests were made, as they would cer tainly be lynched. Anderson's condition Is improving and he has a chance for life. Vic Walker Arrested. Six more questionable character were sent east on tonight's train, and the town Is now well nigh clear of crooks. Victor Walker of Omaha, who was placed under arrest on the charge of continuing the hop Joint of Ah Wing, who waa arrested on Saturday night, was released this even ing on bonds of 11(H). Vigorous protests are being made by the citizens of Lander against the rcnvnal of the land office to this town. The mayor of I.aiulcr has sent dispatches to Commis sioner W. A. Richards, asking that the order be revoked, and this afternoon a deputation of lender citizens waited on the commissioner at his home at Red Bank. Lander papers are denouncing Shoshoni as a village of tents and a camp of outlaws. The feeling between the two towns Is ex tremely bitter. Another Theory, CHEYENNE. Wyo., July 23 A special to the Tribune from Shoshoni says that Guy Anderson, one of the victims In the shoot ing of Saturday, will probably recover. There are eigh,t persons In Jail who will be shipped out of the city. It Is believed that Warner Moody was killed by an enemy who followed him from South Dakota and not by gamblers. There Is no need, the dis patches say, to call out the militia, h order has been restored. ENTIRE ARMY ON MARCH Practically All of Field Force of lotted State Are Prac tlclag. f-WlUiiNaTtI,. Jl : SWlUt trading much attention, probably because the movement Is general and covers such a wide extent of territory, for the first time since the civil war almost the entire army of the United States Is on the inarch. Frequently large bodies of troops have been moved In this way nnd during the Spanish war the entire army was moved but In that case nearly all the men were entrained. In the present case they are marching, afoot and on horse back, from the various posts and con centrating at the seven big maneuver camps where the regulars 'and the militia men are to train together. Officers at headquarters are not sur prised to learn that the men are suffering some from the hardships of the march, that many drop out from heat and fatigue nd there has been considerable loss of horse flesh. The fact Is, as stated by General Oliver, the acting secretary of war and himself a veteran, that the men have become soft In post Uf and It is one of the principle purposes of the marches, to the Joint encampments to dis cover the weak spots and to season the soldiers by approximating war conditions a closely as possible. Foreign observers of the famous International campaign In China noted with surprise the reckless ness with which the American soldier tossed away their blankets and knapsacks and other articles of clothing on the fam ous march from Tien Tsln to Peking. The reason was that the American soldiers had been unused to carrying any baggage; he had left all that to the quartermaster's WRgons. Now, all this Is to be changed and the regular soldier is tn be trained like the European soldier, to carry all of his necessaries throughout the day' march. It Is true his pack will not be as heavy aa the forty pound kit carried by the European soldier, although he Is physi cally quite as able to bear It. but ha Is not to be allowed to discard his blankets or his hslf of the shelter tent or his rations and toilet articles and am munition ss he ha done In the past.
