2 TREPOFF FORMS LEADING TOPIC RUSSIAN PRESS DAZED AT THE OUTLOOK DREADS REPRESSION POLICY It Is Believed, However, the Czar Will Issue Manifest Creating Lcgls. latlve Assembly Composed Of Two Houses By Associated Press. ST. PBTKRSBURO, June 6.— The de tails of the epoch-making bHttle of the Pea of Japan which are drifting In through the foreign press, and even the question of peace or war nre almost Ignored in contemplation of the more absorbing Internal situation created b> the sudden elevation of Governor Gen eral Trepoft to the office of assistant minister of the interior, making him virtually dictator, With the dark vision ahead of a policy of reaction and re pression. Yet the Associated Press wns Informed on high authority today that Trepoff's appointment only tells half the story and that there is a brighter side to the picture. Aa Intimated In these dispatches last night, It will come In the shape of an imperial manifesto^ which will possibly he Issued tomorrow, the empress' birth day, or on Thursday, the Festival of the Ascension, and will immediately renlize the popular demand for a parliamen tary regime by creating a legislative assembly consisting of two houses. The lower house has been called tho gostu darstvennaia douma (Imperial doumn) and the upper house gosudarstveunalu sovet, or the present council of the em pire. While the upper house will enjoy the preponderance and power, the lower house will also have legislative func tions and the right to interpellate min isters, the plan also involving the re sponsibility of ministers. Delays in the elaboration of the ma chinery of election will be obviated by the employment of the law of 1864, under which land owners and property owners in the cities and villages. In cluding peasants, elect representatives to the zemstvos, which In effect places representation on a property basis. The emperor retains complete contril of the legislative assembly, with the right of veto and power to dissolve assemblies and order new elections. The assembly will be presided over by a member of the emperor's choosing. Members of the assembly will be elect ed for three years. Ministers and chiefs of bureaus will be members ex-offlclo of the legislative assembly. Should the above Information prove accurate, as there is every reason to believe it is, the prediction of the liberals nt the opening of the war that the emperor of Japan would give a constitution to Russia appears about to be realized. But if the iron hand of Trepoff Is to be gloved in velvet, it is extremely un fortunate that the Russian emperor did not couple Trepoff's appointment with the issuing of the manifesto, as its an nouncement, unaccompanied by any palliative, has created something like public consternation. j The press seems dazed. Most ot the papers are unable to understand fully what It means, and refrain altogether from comment, but those who speak do so In a strain ot the gloomiest fore bodings, seeing in the appointment the bowing down once more of the Russian people under the galling yoke of the police. The Slovo asks: "Is it possible that the convocation of a pop ular assembly will be delayed and that a new and heavier police will be used to stifle the people's protest? For the government to attempt to rule through the police alone will spell ruin and its inevitable consequences will be a popular revolt, bloody strife and civil war. Possibly this is only a nightmare, a horrid dream, but If so the govern ment must forthwith dispel the doubts regarding Its intentions concerning the convocation of a national assembly." Emperor Nicholas, according to re port, has returned the resignation of Interior Minister Boullgan, having de clined to accept it. M. Bouligan tells his friends that, with the power con ferred on General Trepoff as assistant minister of tho Interior, his position is absolutely untenable.

His cabin was vacant, mill the most painstaking examination of the vessel failed to reveal any trace of the miss- Ing officer, All day long with the greatest anxiety his brother officers huve searched In vain for any clew of Blalsdell's whereabouts.

The bell and smokestack of the overland engine lay by the side of the track, a couple of rods away from the engine. That this mass of oil-soaked debris did not catch fire and burn the wrecks of these two trains seems little short of a miracle. With old-fashioned coal burners it would have been a certainty. It is now reported that the fireman turned water into their fire boxes before they jumped. Engines on Track The engines did not leave the track and only one car of the overland train was ditched. A wrecking train was early on the scene and a temporary track was laid about the wreck before noon. An engine took the overland cars to Riverside, where they were transferred to the Southern Pacific track and sent to Los Angeles at 9:30 o'clock. T. K. Carey of Los Angeles, brakeman on the overland, and Sesler Norman of Tucson, brakeman on the paper train were killed in the wreck, Carey was found some distance from the wreck ■with the top of his skull crushed in, and Norman was found under the wreckage of the mail car with scarcely a whole bone in his body. Death hud been Instantaneous in each cane. Carey Is Bald to have been 111 the nib of the engine and Norman in the mall car. Frank W. Shotts, whose home is on Flgueroa street, was the most seriously Injured of any of the victims of the wreck. He was mall clerk on the over land and was thrown out of the wreck of his car for a distance at thirty feet. Two broken ribs ami a number of cuts and bruises constitute his Injuries. Shotts wus taken to the Riverside hos pital and local physicians cared for the cuts and bruises nf the passengers and other members of the train crew. The Train Crew The train crewa were as follows: Newspaper train, E. K. Beach, con ductor; E. J. Chamberlain, engineer; P. J. Sullivan, fireman; Selver Nor man, brakeman. Overland, J. House, conductor! W. D. Gillott, engineer; Aimer Johnson, fireman; T. *E. Carey, head brakeman. The coroner's Jury was impaneled yesterday morning and made an In vestigation of the wreck and its caiiHcs. The Jury Is made up ax fol lows: O, Patty, J. H. Marlln, f). M. CarrlgHn, (1. 11. Beaton, K. T. (Jrund strom, H. It. Hlngletry. 11, It. Hu*h am] J. T. Jurvli of Riverside. The In quest will be held at 'i o'clock today, Engineer W, V. Gillott of the ovtvr land limited was seen at his home last night, but refused to make any state ment whatever regarding the collision, or explain why he ran by the meeting point as given In his train orders. His wife, who spoke for him, said that when the proper time comes for her husband to explain his side of the af fair, he will give the public the facts, but until that time arrives he will say nothing. He was apparently resting easy, despite his sprains and bruises. On board of the overland were 'many Knights of Columbus delegates an.l their families en route to Los Angeles to attend the national convention ami reception, but all escaped serious injury and were only shaken up in the shock of the collision. The fact that the newspaper train was a light one and gave way to the force of the heavier overland limited accounts for the small loss of life. Had the newspaper special been a train of equal size and weight as the limited the loss of life would have been terribly in excess of what it was.
