Government Criticized.
St. Petersburg, June 15. --In spite of
the alarming preparation$ There is slight
expectation among •the reasonable ele-
ments of the population that serious
disorders will follow the dissolution of
Parliament. Strikes in the factories
and perhaps minor collisions in streets
are anticipated, but the numbers of the
troops are too great to permit of an
armed outbreak.
With the exception of the official HOS.
sia and Niiime Vremya, the newspapers
unanimously criticize the Government's
action, and see in the demand. for the
suspension of the Social Democratic
members only a pretext, and. not a, real
reason for the dissolution of Parlia-
ment.

Odessa, June 15.—There are renewed
fears of an anti-Jewish outbreak in
this city in connection with the dis-
solution of the lower House of Parlia-
ment at St. Petersburg. Speaking of

he would. use quick -Bring guns to sup-

"As a consequence of .the activity dur-

troduced. into the Dolma itself, which pre-
vented the union of a sufficient number
of its members desirous of working for

Among to -day's witnesses were ex -
Governor 'Peabody of Colorado and his

neither was on the stand long. Againet
a sustained fire of objections. amid mo-
tions to strike out, the prosecution got
the admission of much evidenee bearing
on points of Orchard's testimony. First
it wee shown that Steve Adams, while
stranded in Ogden in 1000 on the way
home from California, where it is al-
leged he went to kill Fred. Bradley, sent
a telegram to Haywood at Denver. for
money, It showed by the originals of
six drafts on New York banks, five of
which were purchased at the First Na-
tional Bank of Deaver by Haywood
himself, that during 1004, 1905 and 1906
money was frequently remitted 'by Hay-
wood to L. J, Simpkins, formerly a
member of the Executive Board of the
Western Federation of Miners, who as
"Simmons" went to Caldwell with Or-
chard and :misted in the first attempt
to kill Steunenberg.
The very first witness of the morning
struck a, hard blow for the State. He
was City Detective Fender, of Ogden,
who was recalled from the previous day
when he was not allowed, to tell what
the telegram said which he saw Steve
Adams write to send to William D. Hay-
wood from Ogden, in June, 1003.
The Court allowed. this evidence yes-
terday after a lone argument. The wit-
ness said that the telegram read as
follows: "William Haywood, Denver:
I am in trouble. Send me $75 at once.
Steve Adams."
Lawyer Richardson fought hard to
prevent this telegram from vetting
to the jury. He continued at is great
length that it made no difference what
the telegram said, that there was not
the slightest thine about it to connect

courage German aggression, and as
the logical sequence of King Edward's

The following resolutions were adopt-

during the past week. Following tit.:

he expired instantly.
