A GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
Few Changes Among Deputies —
No Disorder in Paris.
Paris. May 6.— The results thus far announced
In the general parliamentary elections which
were held to-day show few changes In the
Chamber, mos: of the former deputies being
re-elected, but an extraordinary number of sec
ond ballots will be necessary In Paris. The pres
ent ballot gives the Opposition a majority, but
the second ballot, which will be taken on May
20. is expected to repeat the result of the 1902
election, when the representation of the capital
was equally divided.
It is estimated that there was a record poll of
votes. Owing to the excitement caused by the
recent strike and the disorders caused by the
taking of inventories of church property, the
polling booths were guarded by military and
police, but the day passed practically without
incident and intervention by the authorities
was unnecessary.
Great crowds this evening surrounded the
Hotel de Vllle. the Ministry of the Interior and
the newspaper offices, cheering or hooting when
the returns were posted. The success of prom
inent men. such as MM. Briand. Pressense. Mil
lerand, Lockroy and Millevoye and Admiral
Blenaime, was greeted with enthusiasm. Mar
cel Habert. director of the League of Patriots.
was defeated.
Police and cavalry patrols prevented demon
strations by the disorderly element, and good
humor generally prevailed.
Provincial returns show an unexpectedly fa
vorable tendency toward the government, whose
supporters have captured no fewer than eigh
teen seats against a loss of only two. Including
Paris. 411 results are known. Of these the gov
ernment captured 188 seats and the Opposition
112, while 111 will require second ballots. The
net gain to the government is eighteen seats.
MM. Doumer, President of the Chamber of
Deputies; rMementel. former Minister of the Col
onies; Leygues, Minister of the Colonies in the
Sarrien Cabinet, I^asies, the anti-Semite leader;
Doumergue, Minister of Commerce; Pelletan,
former Minister of Marine; Rrisson, former
President of the Chamber, and the Due de
P.roplie were all re-elected.
All the persons arrested recently for share in
the alleged Royalist plot against the security of
the republic have been provisionally released.
PLANS NOVEL NEWSPAPER
Albert Pulitzer Promises New De
parture in Journalism.
Early this fall a new newspaper will enter the
local field. It Is to be a daily, owned by Albert
Pulitzer, tho founder of a new style of Journalism
In the old "New York Journal" and a man of
wide and varied experience in journalisrr. He is
a brother of Joseph Pulitzer, the Editor and
owner of "Tho World." Mr. Pulitzer returned
from abroad a short time ago, and the plans
for the new venture are already well afoot. Mr.
Pulitzer says that hiß new paper will be as wide
a departure from the journalism of the day as
was his ••Journal," twenty-four years ago. In
founding that sheet Mr. Pulitzer gave the first
cf the modern sensational dailies to the world.
The new newspaper, however, will be of a dif
ferent stamp.
"There in no reason or Accuse," said Mr. Pu
litzer, in outlining his plans yesterday, "for get
ting out a paper that is like other papers. I
may not be able to produce a better one, but I
can produce one which is different. The public no
longer cares to read half a column of headlines
before reaching an Inaccurate four line dispatch.
There is an awful monotony In newspapers at
the present time, from which I shall try to es
cape. Although the day of the party organ is
not over — in fact, It has a large and most useful
field — I shall keep my paper Independent. Par
ties change and issues change as well as the
times, and I believe that I can fill a larger field
of usefulness in maintaining as large a part of
political independence as possible — in national
as well as local affair*.
"To as large an extent as possible I shall try
to maintain a staff of independent correspond
ents instead of depending on the big news asso
ciations. In my experience with 'The Journal'
twenty-four years ago 1 found that while special
correspondents sometimes did not get as full a
story as might be desired, still they invariably
cent a more interesting and entertaining story.
"The legitimate sensationalism which I
founded has now deteriorated into the refuse of
the journalistic muck heap. In this new venture
of 'mine 1 shall endeavor to lay this Franken
stein which I raise?]. The syrtem which I
founded. I hone also to end."

OIL MEN REJOICE.
What Independent Producers Think
of Standard Oil Message.
fßy Teleirap't to Th* Tribune. ',
Plttsburg. May 6. — "For fifteen years we have
been contending for a square deal, and from tine
President's message It looks as If our labors
were t<> be rewarded at last," said ex-Senator
James W. Lee, of the Pure OH Company, one of
the leading Independent concerns In the coun
try, to-day, in discussing the message of Presi
dent Roosevelt to Congress on the Standard OU
Company. "It looked dark often enough, but
the independents have kept their hearts up, and
it really looks as if we are at last to come into
our own.
"If we would get equalization of rates and
other things we are entitled to, and which the
Standard OH Company enjoys, it would prove a
great boon to many people. Instead of $46,000.
000 profits going into the coffers of the Stand
ard Oil Company yearly, a larg>* part of that
amount would g.t Into the pockets of the people
of the United States.
"With competition in the oil business the price
of oil would be lower to the consumer, and at
the same time the producer would h* given a
fair market price for his product, and would not,
as now, have to take what the Standard offers
him. according to its whims and the state of Its
treasury.
"Many of the wells (hat are abandoned now In
Western Pennsylvania and other places that
cannot now be worked at a profit would be
started up again, for then the price of crude oil
would be increased, and the small wells, which
under present conditions are lost forever, would
be a benefit to those who own the property on
which they are located.
"Other ways in which this country would be
benefited would be that with more Independent
producers there would be more work with the
organization of new oil companies. Refineries
would be erected here as they were In the old
days before they were dismantled by the Stand
ard.
"H. H. Rogers and John D. Archbold, of the
Standard, in discussing the Garfleld report and
the President's message, say: 'It is unimportant
that of the 26,000,000 barrels of oil annually
manufactured 15,000,000 barrels are exported
each year, and with its manufacture and price
the American public are not Interested.' I
wonder if the Pure Oil Company people are not
interested m it when we have a dally produc
tion of 7,500 barrels and have a foreign market,
in addition to having agents to sell our product
in other countries?"

Attack of Bronchitis Prevents His
, Leaving Town for the Summer.
Mark Twain, who had planned to leave this
city on Saturday for Dublin, N. H., where he
was to spend the summer, has been compelled
to postpone his departure Indefinitely, owing to
an attack of bronchitis. He took to his bed on
Tuesday last with a slight cold, but he fully ex
pected to be well enough to leave town on Sat
urday. A mild case of bronchitis, however, de
veloped on Thursday, and a physician has since
been in attendance.
Mr. Clemens is now seventy years old. He has
had a busy winter attending meetings, banquets
and giving lectures for all kinds of causes, and
it is thought that the work, with its necessarily
late hours, may have weakened somewhat his
usually robust physique and brought about his
present illness.

RHODE BSLAKJ) AFLOAT.
Pulled Off by Tugs at High Tide—
Injury Unknown.
[By Telegraph to Th« Tribune.] .
Norfolk. Va., May 6.— Th-» United States bat
tleship Rhode Island was afloat again to-night
after having been aground at the mouth of the
York River since early yesterday. Four powerful
naval tugs, the Uncas, the Wahneta. the Hercules
and the Mohawk, drew the big warship from
the sandbar. The United States cruiser Min
neapolis stood by and saw the Rhode Island
pulled from shoal water at 0:30 o'clock, and
would have taken a hand In the proceeding but
for her inability to get a hawser aboard the
battleship.
When the naval tugs reached the stranded
warship, after a thirty mile run from the Nor
folk Navy Yard, they found the Rhode Island's
nose poked high on the bar at the eastern en
trance to the York River. Early this morning
the Minneapolis endeavored to set a line aboard,
with the assistance of the Uncas.
In manoeuvring the Uncas was in collision
with the Rhode Island, and carried away part ot
her rail. Later the Mohawk went aground
alongside the battleship while passing a hawser
aboard that vessei, but soon got afloat. Efforts
to float the Rhode Island at high tide this morn
ing were futile. At low tide to-day the fact was
disclosed that the battleship was drawing
twenty-four feet of water aft and eighteen feet
forward.
Water was pumped from the forward tanks
aft. and every piece of portable material was
shifted from the forward part of the vessel with
the view of lightening that quarter. This after
noon the naval tugs were arranged in tandem
for a strain at the battleship at high tide.
Their efforts were successful. The battleship
anchored, and will come to Hampton Roads to
morrow morning.
It is believed that the course of the warship
was laid too far to the eastward in entering the
York River.
The Wahneta, the Mohawk and the Hercules
returned to the navy yard to-night, leaving the
Uncas standing by the Rhode Island. It is not
known to-night the extent of the Injury to the
ship.

•By Telesraph to The Tribune. I
Greenwich. Conn.. May 6— Sunday baseball
playing, which was a feature in Greenwich, on
the borders of Stamford, a half mile from H. O.
Havemeyer's summer home, all last season,
came to a sudden stop to-day, owing to compe
tion. Sheriff William E. Ritch and four town
constables, acting upon orders from Henry B.
White, Prosecuting Attorney, caused four teams
and three thousand enthusiasts to go away dis
appointed. The Stamford Baseball Club has
provided some games this season, and they
made no disturbance, but had the eiTect of
clearing the men from the streets of Stamford
and Greenwich and letting those who wanted a
quiet Sabbath have one.
Yesterday posters were yut up advertising an
other ball game, across the road from the reg
ular game, the promoters being the Stamford
Athletic League. Competition in baseball has
its disadvantages, and Prosecuting Attorney
White thought everything would not be pleas
ant in Mr. Havemeyers neighborhood owing to
this competition. To prevent any trouble ho
decided to stop both games.
The managements were informed, but each
team believed that it was a scheme of the other
fellow to make trouble, so all appeared In the
fields. Sheriff Rlteh. by a show of determina
tion, prevented the games. He threatened to
swear in thirty deputies and arrest everybody
he could and then go back for more.

DOI'BASSOFF WOUNDED.
If IT BY BOMB IX MOSCOW.
Governor General's 'Aid, Sentry and
Criminal Killed.
Moscow, May ftV—A bomb was thrown at the
carriage of Vice-Admiral Doubassoff. Governor
General of Moscow, as he was being driven to
the palace to-day. He was slightly wounded
and his aide-de-camp and a sentry were killed.
The man who throw the bomb Is reported to
have been killed. He wore an officer's uniform.
Access to the palace is barred.
Governor Genera! Doubassoff was returning
in an open carriage from the Uspenski Cathe
dral, and the outrage took place outside the car
riage entrance to his palace. Several bystanders
were Injured. According to the route decided in
advance, the Governor General would have re
turned to the palace by the side entrance, but in
the course of the drive he changed his plans,
and thereby ran into the peril he was seeking to
avoid.
The Governor's life was saved by the poor aim
of the criminal. The bomb exploded on the
pavement several paces in the rear of his car
riage, hurling the mutilated body of the terrorist
several yards backward, and tearing off one arm
and the face of an aid who was descending from
the carriage. Governor General Deuba won* was
thrown from his carriage under the horses*
hoofs. His back was burned and his leg bruised,
but he was able to walk unassisted into the pal
ace. The coachman's skull was fractured.
It is thought the assassin was the student In
whose rooms a bomb exploded on Saturday,
killing three accomplices. At the time he was
watching the palace from a room In a hotel op
posite.
Vice-Admiral Doubassoff was appointed Governor
General of Moscow in December last. He Is an
aid of the Emperor and a member of the Council
of the Empire. Since his appointment as Governor
General several plots against him have been un
covered. Almost as soon as he had taken office
he incurred the enmity of the revolutionists, who
entered into a conspiracy to abduct him. This
failed. In January he was advised that an attempt
would be made at the celebration of the ceremony
of the blessing of the waters to assassinate hint-
As a result. Princess Koslovska was arrested,
charged with being accessory to the conspiracy.
In March a bolder attempt on Doubassoft"s life
wa* frustrated by the arrest of a woman, who f*ad
gained admittance to the palace on the plea that
she had come from a personal friend of the Gov
ernor General's. Her agitation attracted the atten
tion of an aid. She attemptad to flee, but was
seised and searched, and a small bomb was found
concealed in her hatr.
During the greater part o( the Russo-Japanese
War Vice-Admiral Doubassoff was chairman of
the technical board of the Admiralty. His wife

My speedometer showed I was going twelve
miles an hour, and I guess Mr. Rogers can send
up experts to prove the reliability of the Instru
ment.
Say. I can tell you what it In with these lay
constable*. Some night when they try to stop
me something will hit them and they will never
know what it was, either.
