Russia Makes Her Representative --* HOPEFUL VIEWS PREVAIL With Pomp and Panoly Perhaps Hitherto Unequaled Constitutional Government is Inaugurated in Rus sia When the Sovereign Reads His j Speech From the Throne in thc Winter Palace-Address Merely a Brief Exhortation to Co-Operation. St. Petersburg', By Cable.-Without | a single hitch and with only a minor [ incident to mar the memorable day, the Russian Parliament was inaugu rated. The weather was superb, and the stage, management of the impres sive ceremony in the Winter Palace, where Emperor Nicholas, surrounded by courtiers and all the pomp and panoply of power> delivered the speech from the throne, to the mem bers of the two houses, was perfect. Such a spectacle perhaps never be-1 fore has been witnessed on the earth's stage. The message in reality was less a throne speech than a greeting and required only three minutes for its delivery. Upon entering the chamber tile Em- j peror halted in the Center of the hall ? and the metropolitan. Antonius, ad vanced to meet him and held out the cross, which his majesty reverently kissed. Then, bending forward, the Emperor clasped the hand of the met ropolitau, raised it to his lips and kissed it, the metropolitan return ing the salutation. ^ The Empress, who had in thc mean time advanced and taken their places on either side of the Emperor, greet ed the sacred emblem and the repre sentative of the Church in a similar manner. Spoke in Firm Voice. His majesty rose and looked d?vn upon the wonderful scene, then de livered his message to tue H issiaii millious. The Emperor spoke with a firm, steady voice which was heard distinctly in every comer of the hall> emphasizing deliberately every word. Such a hush fell on the assembly ! during the reading- that the snap o? ! a camera shutter w?s sharply audi ble. . . j Thc Emperor V speech was as fol-1 lows : The Czar's Speech. "The supreme Providence which gave me the care of our fatherland moved me to call to my assistance in legislative work elected representa tives of the peep?o. In the expecta tion cf a brilliant future fof Rus sia, I greet in your persons the best men from the empire, whom I ordered my beloved subjects to choose from among themselves, v "A difficult work lies before you. I trust that love for your fatherland and your earnest desire to serve it will inspire and imf te you. "I shall keep inviolate the insti tutions which I have granted, with the firm assurance that you will de vote all your strength to the service of your couutry, especially to tho needs of the peasantry, which are so close to my heart, and to the edu cation of the people, and their econ omical welfare, remembering that to the dignity and prosperity of tho State not only freedom but order founded upon justice is necessary.

Birmingham, Ala., Spacial.-A spe cial from Decatur, Ala., says anoth er heavy frost fell Weduesday night in the Tennessee river valley and that this 'frost and the one of Tuesday night have killed all tho cotton that was up, in that section of the State. In some places the entire crop will have to he replanted. Frost Kills Cotton. Greenville, S. C. Special.-Effects of the recent cold have been far-reach ing in this and adjoining counties. All lowland cotton has been either killed or badly injured. In xnany lo calities farmers have already gone to work to plow up the damaged crop and will plant the land ia com. Some will replant in cotton. Tne terrific hail storm of last Sunday so injured the crop that it could net stand thc cold and frost following.

May this day be the day of the moral revival of Russia and the day for the renewal of its highest forc?si "Approach with sokmnity the la bors for which i call...you and be worthy of the responsibility put npon you by the Emperor and people. "May God assist us." Memebrs Dissatisfied. Emperor Nicholas read slowly. The admirable and even cordial toue of the sovereign in renewing his pledges and asking the coperation of parlia ment for ,the regeneration of the country was only negatively satisfac tory. Courtiers and spectators other than members of the national Parlia ment led the cheering, but the mern-, hers were ominously silent, expressing neither approval nor disapproval. What rankled most was the failure of the Emperor to mention amnesty, and later when the members assembl ed in the Tauride Palace, away from the spell of the throne room, many of them Were with difficulty restrained from precipitating matters by offer ing resolutions on the subject. The Constitutional Democratic leaders, however, who dominated everything, were anxious not to weaken the reply which the lower house will prepare te the speech from the throne, in which issue with thc crown will be . joined) and succeeded irt staving off premature action. The Emperor and the Empress af 'ter leaving the palace entered a launch, passed down the river, board ed the imperial yacht Alexander and returned to Peterhof. Thc crowds on the banks of the river and island heartily cheered the imperial party. There was no other incident. Parlament 's First Session. The scene around the Tauride Pal ace was in striking contrast with that , at the Winter Palace. -Each/h?deedy: was typical and told an eloquent story. At the Tauride Palace, tens of thousands of people were acclaim ing their representatives; at the,Win-_ ter Palace legions of military " and' courtiers by the hundreds cheered for the Emperor. Nevertheless, the pro ceedings of the lower hoUBe were not spectacular ; in fact> they were most tame in comparison with those at the Winter Palace. The ouly genuine flashes of fire which showed real tem per of thc members of thc House, were when Prof. Mourouisteff, who had been elected president of the low er house, invited government officials and clerks to leave the hall and when Ivan Petrunkevitch, in a few eloquent words from the, rostrum, told the auditors that the first thought of the Parliament should be for those that have suffered in the cause of liberty, who now filled the prisons and whose arms were stretched out in hope and confidence to the people's representa tives. More enthusiastic cheering than that which greeted this appeal never was heard in a political con vention in tho United States. Constitution and amnesty were the keynotes of Prof. Mor?omtseff's speech. Dispatches received here from all parts of Russia indicate that the op ening of the Parliament was cele brated everywhere.

Senator Daniel Concludes. In the Senate Senator Daniel con^ ilu'ded his. speech ort the railroad rate bill. Taking irp.tne question of the pxtent of the review to be had by the "ourts iu rate cases and repeating riefly his objections to Mr. Bailey's broviso for the non-suspicion by the courts. of the orders of the inter state commerce commission, he said li? did not agree with those who con tended that there was no other way of protecting thc interests of the ship per. ?n cases where the courts Lave sus^ pended thc rates of the comniissioiij Mr. Daniel suggested that ? substan-1 tial bond be required of the railroads. Ile took issue with Statements thai a'review would mean re-trial so fai ns the taking of testimony was con cerned, for he declared that Ihn in' ler-State commerce commission wai the most competent tribunal to taka r-?vh tts'.imo ny. Admitting that the bill was far from complete, he said it would provide for a swift hear, iug before such a tribunal and that was positive,; verifiable progress iii the right direction; v Defining the terms "just compensa tion" and " reasonable rates." Mr. Daniel adopted the former expression as broadly covering what a rata skould be. Second Section Completed, The Senate completed the con sideration of the second section of thu railroad rate bili arid just before the adjournment listened to reading oi sections 3 and 4 without considering any -.mtndnieuts offered to them. The purpose of this reading was to bring" the xionsideration of the bill up to the point of taking up the Allison compromise amendments. A number of very important chauges were made in the second sec tion, including a provision restoring the imprisonment penalty of the act of 1887, and an amendment suggested hy Senator McCumber imposing a penalty of fine and imprisonment agaiust thc shippers who secure re bates from transportation companies. The latter amendment was incorpo rated for thc avowed purpose of hit ting the trusts? Another amendment adopted was offered by Senator }7arren.

Conferences in the Senate which resulted in positive agreements on six propositions to be incorporated in the Allison amendment to the railroad bill were ratified by additional con ferences of Senate leaders represent ing Republican factions. That there could be no further misunderstand ing this data for the basis of the agreement was prepared and exchang ed: "The Allison amendment is to com prise six propositions: "First-The words 'fairly remun erative' in section 4 of thc bill are to be stricken out; "Second-The words 'in its judge ment' in the same section to bc re tained; "Third-Jurisdiction is vested in thc United States circuit court to heal! and determine suits against the com mission ; "Fourth-No preliminary injunc tion or interlocutory order is to ba granted without a hearing and notice j "Fifth-The application for pre' liminary injunction or interlocutct-y decree is to be heard by three judges; "'Sixth-A direct appeal from the interlocutory owler rv decree to He inly to the supreme courts of the United States."

His Evidence SHOWS PRESIDENT HAS CHANGED New Hampshire Bx-Senator's Written Account of His Conferences With President as Intermediary Between Executive and the Senator. Wallington, Special.-Senator Till man, who ninde a statement in the Senate Saturday covering the details of ins nail Senator Bailey'* negotia tions; through ex-Sena lot Chandler, with President Roosevelt regarding the rate hill, made public a portion of a written statement to him br. Chand ler of th'j last-named's various con ferences with tn'C President on thia subject. The portion given out by Mr. Tillman is largely a repetition of the lirct part of his statement in the Senate. It covers, however, that por tion where Mr. Tillman had quoted Mr. Chandler as saying that the Pres ident had stated that he had come to a complete disagreement with the sen atonal lawyers who. were trying to de feat or injure the bill,' naming Messrs. Knox, Spooner and Foraker, ?-egarri ing which statement Senator Lodge subsequently said he was authorized to say from the White House that it was an unqualified falsehood. On this subject Mr. Chandler, referring lo the President said in his written state ment: ''"lie said that he had been much troubler.! hy thc advocacy of an unlimited court review hy some of the lawyers of the Senate, naming Sena tors Knox, Spooner and Foraker as trying lo injure or defeat ihe bill by ingeuius constitutional arguments, but that he had come to a complete dis agreement with them. He made this point emphatic by repetition," .The statement given out by Mr. Tillman follows: "Senator Tillman said thar on Sat urday, May 5. he insisted on having from ex-Senator Chandler a written statement of the various conferences by the latter in connection villi the plan of the President lo control the railroad rate legislation by alliance with Democrats of the Senate, and Mr. Chandler gave him such a state ment made prior lo Saturday, 12, and signed by Mr. Ch adi er. ^Tillman said that he would give ^portion oith at ?statement relatin tho "interview :of;;-Mr. Chandler with the Piesident' on.- M^MuJl. v, hieb h a<h beepm^^ for use in case or^gBwWHi menls in thc Senate Safo^tSpfJ| be denied." The following is tho portion of Mr. Chandler's statement given out by Mr. Tillman: "On Saturday afternoon, March 31, 1U0(?, a friend of mine came into my office and told me of the White House conference of that day in which an understanding as to a limited court review had been reached with Sena tor Long and other*, and he told me that the President wished to get into communication willi the Democrats and would shortly ark me to come and see him. While he was talking a messenger boy arrived with a loller to mc from Mr. Loeb as follows: " 'The White Houss, Washington, March ol, li)0U " 'My Dear Senator Chandler: The President requests me io say that j he will bc glad to have yon come to [ the White House at 8.30 o'clock to j night. Will you phase let thc bearer know whether you can come? " 'Very truly yours. " 'WILLIAM LOEB, JR., " 'Secretary to thc President.' "'Hon. W. E. Chandler. 1421 I street,' " "I told thc messenger I would be there. "At thc Lime and place appointed the President said to me that he wished, through me, to ?ref into com munication with Mr. 'J illuian, Mr. Bailey and other Democratic Seuators He stated his purpose slowly and carefully, and in exact substance his statement was this: That he had reached the conclusion that thc best plan for railroad rate legislation was to expressly gran i a court review, but to distinctly limit il to two points; first an inquiry whether the inter state commerce commission had ex ceeded its authority, and second, an inquiry whether thc constitutional ri?hls of the earlier had been violat ed. "He said that he had been much troubled by the advocacy of au un limited court review by some of the lawyers of the Senate-naming Sena tors Knox, Spooner and Foraker as trying lo injure or defeat the bill by ingenious constitutional arguments, but that he. had come to a complete disagreement with them. He made this point emphatic by repetition; said that he would go thus far and no further and that his decision would bu unalterable. He said that he wished to ascertain whether there could bc united action in the Senate amoug the friends of the bill so that it could be surely passed without in jurious amendments, and he named various Republican Senators Avho he thought were the friends of the bill, but said thal it would take nearly all the Democrats lo carry the limitation and defeat all cbuuxious provisions.
