St. Petersburg, June 18.—It is semiofficially stated that Emperor Nicholas has decided to declare a recess of parliament on June 28 and that his majesty and the royal family will Immediately afterward leave Peterhof for a cruise In Finnish fiords on board the imperial yacht 8tnndart, which Is being fitted out for that purpose. Washington, June 18.—Speaker Canaon spent some time at the White House with President Roosevelt conferring on legislative matters. The speaker said regarding the adjournment programme that he expects congress will close up business and get a way from Washington by the 1st of July. Regarding the meat Inspection legislation Mr. Cannon reiterated his opinion that safe and sane legislation will lie endcted and that notwithstanding differences on the matter of judicial review everybody's constitutional rights will be protected. This city was very fortunate that it escaped almost unscathed any effects of the severe electrical storm that passed over the Wyoming Valley yesterday afternoon and last night. The lightning was very sharp in this vicinity several times during the day, but no serious damage has been reported from it. The ptorm of Saturday afternoon, although apparently not so severe, created more havoc than did that of yesterday. The family of T. H. Hopkins, of Seneca street, underwent a very severe experience from lightning, Saturday. The house was struck by a bolt, which entered by way of the chimney. The top of the chimney'was knocked off, and it was split from top to bottom. The lightning entered the kitchen, in which Mrs. Hopkins and hev daughter, Mary, aged 3 years, were sitting. The little one was playing on the floor and Mrs. Hopkins had been working about the sink. A sharp peal of thunder caused her to step back and she had scarcely done so when the lightning entered the room, split a drip board and tore the sink from the wall. Had Mrs. Hopkins not stepped back when she did she would undoubtedly have been struck. She and her daughter and Mr. Hopkins, who was in an adjoining room, received a severe electrical shock. The house was quite badly damaged by the bolt. Washington, June 18. — A westeAl Jollification took place at the White House wheu President Roosevelt affixed liis name to the Okluhouia statehood bill. Moscow Expects Armed Rising. Moscow, June 18.—The Imminence of an armed rising is the one subject of conversation In the hotels, cafes and public gardens. In spite of their prohibition by the police meetings made up of from 8,0(iCl to 10,000 persons are held daily in the suburbs. At all of these revolution Is glorified. The prefect has ordered the boulevards to be occupied by troops in order to prevent revolutionary processions. O'BRIEN WAS NOMINATED At the ceremony the president used two pens to sign the measure. The name "Theodore" he wrote with a gold pen from Arizona and "Roosevelt" was written with the point of au eagle's quill from Oklahoma. As the president finished writing his name a crowd of Oklahoma "boomers," who have been here all the session working like Trojans for the bill, set up a shout that was heard for two blocks, and a general handshake all around was in order.Exceptionally Tame Third District Convention. Such a decision seems to tempt fate, for if it is executed it will almost certainly be the signal for au Immediate bloody struggle. The emperor is reported to be spending most of his time playing tennis at Peterhof. REGISTRARS FOR PITTSTON CITY Tlie Session Consumed Just 11 Min- utes, Including Speeches—The Appointments Mude by the County Xante of Attorney O'Brieu Commissioners Today for tile The Labor party In the dounia has passed u resolution declaring that neither now nor in the near future can pari lament be dissolved, that at no time will the members leave their posts and that as long as the arbitrariness and outrages of the government continue and the terrors of Impending massacres and the sufferings of the peasantry and workmen reign parliament must continue to work until it has achieved "a land of freedom" or exhausted all means to this end. FAMOUS HORSE DROPS DEAD. The meat Inspection amendment will be called up tomorrow and disposed of with as great dispatch as possible. The time to be spent on it Is estimated at two days. Debate on this bill will be contined to the discussion of the various provisions of the measure and proposed amendments thereto. Placed Before Convention Various Wards. Sysonby, Called America's Best Racer, by Kegisler of Wills The county commissioners today announce the list of voting registrars appointed by them for the cities of Plttston and Wllkesbarre In accordance with the law passed by the last legislature. Under the law two registrars are to be named for each voting district, one to represent each of the principal political parties, and this provision has been complied with. The duties of the registrars are to sit at the polling places and receive the personal registrations of voters. The registrars for Pittston City are as follows:Killed by Blood Poisoning, Batik- New York, June 18.—James R. Keene's famous four-year-old colt Sysonby, conceded lust year to be the best horse In training In America, died In his stall at the Sheepshead Ray race track of blood poisoning. The horse had been ill for a long time with a skin disease. Ills ailment had necessitated his withdrawal from all of this year's big stakes, including the Hrooklyn, Suburban and Rrighton handicaps, in all of which lie was the future book favorite. After a career of seething and surging activity, through a long and tempestuous term of existence, the old Fifth district (now called the Third by act of the last D£gkia*ure) Democratic convention caine upon the end of its days today amid a peace and quiet foreign to tht scenes of old. The old biennial Democratic convention in this district Dvas ever a notable gathering, a meeting wherein iiights of eloquence ran parallel with displays of force, and there was on occasions a mixture of both to add zerDt to the occasion. But today's—the last district convention because of new acts of assembly—was a gathering that, for"order and unanimity of opinion, might have been mistaken by the uninitiated for a religious meeting. For just 11 ininuteii after the chairman declared' the meeting in-"order business was carried on and then the convention adjourned. Hon. George F. O'Brien had been renominated as the Democratic candidate for representative and had made a short address. in which he pledged himself, if elected to continue the policy by which he was actuated during the last se.7- Those who witnessed the final act of creating one and possibly two new states iucluded Senator Beveridge of Indiana and Representative Hamilton of Michigan, who fought for the measure through the two houses of congress; Delegate Maguire of Oklahoma and u party from that territory, Delegale Andrews of New Mexico, Baron Speck von Stern burg, the German ambassador, who happened to be In the president's office; Secretary Loeb and M. C. Latta, the White House stenographer, who has charge of the engrossed bills that cotne down from the capitol to the White House. Members of the house committee on agriculture, including Representative Adams (Wis.), assisted by several officials of the department of agriculture, devoted some tluie to a discussion of various features of the amendment proposed by the house committee to which the president has pointed out his objections. Committee Goes Over Bill. The government appears to be waiting for the blow to fall before raising its baud. Heavy patrols have been placed In the streets, and the railroad stations are occupied by troops, but no action has lieen taken to stop the agl tatlon. Government Waits For Blow. First ward—Jacob Miller, R.; -Al- Alexander McCormick, D. Second ward—James Ryan, R.; Frank Sheridan, D. The excessive large downfall of rain has, as usual, shown up all the detective roads. In the outskirts of the city there will be work for days for the street commissioner's corps. In 4Jupont many cellars were flooded with a composition of water and mud, and the streets in some sections are In a deplorable condition. The residents of Exeter borough, especially those living on Wyoming avenue, are suffering from the absence of their proposed new sewer. In one section of the borough, in the neighborhood of the borough hall, the water on Wyoming avenue was between a foot and two feet deep this morning and drivers had no choice but to wade their horses through it. Several cars 011 the various street car lines were out of service Saturday night, owing to defective current, caused by the storm. Sysonby's death was sudden and occurred strangely enough while Mr. Keene was making Ills daily visit to his Sheepshead Ray stable. The horse dropped dead while Mr. Keene stood beside liim. There is to be a meeting of the full committer today, and an effort Is being made to agree on some ground of modification of the features found objectionable by the president so as to facilitate action mi the measure. Mr. Adams, who was made acquainted with the president's views, explained them in detail to Ills colleagues on the committee.Third ward—George Williams, R., Joseph Huthmaker, D. President Congratulates Legislators, After the cheering and the handshaking the president made a little address to those present, in which iie took occasion to congratulate Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton ou the outcome of their long fight for the statehood law. He ulso congratulated Oklahoma aud Indian Territory and expressed the hope that Arizona would place her stamp of approval on the bill by voting to come into the Union with New Mexico. It is significant as indicating the progress of the revolutionary sentiment that a general strike Is expected to be Inaugurated on the Nicholas railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow, which was the only line out of Moscow that was not affected (luring the uprising last December. The workmen in the shops of the Syzran and Vyazma road already have struck, but apparently the demonstration Is premature. ' Fourth ward—Thomas F. Major, Sr., R.; Peter Lyons, D. Fifth ward—Fred Davis, "R.; Matthias Kussel, D. The death of the noted horse was a severe blow to his owner, and his indisposition tills year had been a serious drawback to what had given promise of being a brilliant racing season. As a two-year-old two years ago Mr. Keene was offered and refused $100,- 000 for his colt, whose only defeat in his racing career was in the Futurity of 1004. Sysonby was the favorite for the event, but was not hi the best of condition and was beaten at the iinlsh by Artful and Tradition. He was insured for $100,000. Sixth ward—First district, John Pugh, K.; Joseph Webber, D,; second district—Henry Gill, R.;Martin Howley. D. Seventh ward—Alexander Sloan, R.; Edward E. Reap, D. Eighth ward—William Golden, R.. Joseph J. O'Boyle, D. Secretary to Have Full Control. A suggested amendment which Mr. Adams says emanated from the department of agriculture officials and which, It Is said, is favorably considered by the president, has been brought forward to elimlnute the objections set gut by the president to the court review proposed by the amendment. This new proposition is designed to give the secretary of agriculture llnal control of the Situation so far as the question of the fitness of the slaughtered animals for human food Is concerned. sion Ninth ward—Ctynles W. Ronunell, R.; William Devanney, D. Tenth ward—W. S. Vanderburg, R.; John Hart, D. The Kech today again appeals to the emperor to try to save the situation by dismissing Premier Goremykiii and placing members of parliament, who enjoy a measure of public confidence, 111 control of the government. The convention \v?s held In Union hall and was attended by about a half hundred spectators and 39 delegates, as well as the officers of the district. The pre-convention wenei: were very mild. There was u'o scurrying, nobutton-holing, no hnnd-shuklng. The delegates strolled into the hall In twos and threes and quietly took their seats. Anything in the nature of the smoke of battle was noticeably lacking. The predictions that Mr. O'Brien would receive the nomination, hands down, were ready for fulfillment. Chairman Hopkinr. called the meeting to order at just 10:10 o'clock and after the secretary. Register of Wills Frank A. Battle, had read the convention call th« temporary organization was made permanent. No committees on credentials and contested seats were named, as there were no contests. Mr. O'Brien occupied a seat near the chairman and secretary. When Mr. Hopkins declared nominations opened Mr. Battle, who held the proxy of 1'. J. Finn, of Plains, arose to nominate Mr. O'Brleti. Mr. Battle made a brief speech, in which he assured the delegates that Mr. O'Brien, If again sent down to Harrlsburg, would be faithful to the Interests of his constituent)!, particularly the laboring men of the district and would adhere to Democratic principles during his term at Harrlsburg. Nominations were closed and each delegate present, as li'ls name was called, voted for Mr. O'Brien. The pens with which the president signed the bill were sent to Secretary Loeb several weeks ago in anticipation of the occasion aud will be sent to the historical societies of Arlsuua and Oklahoma, to be treasured In tbelr museums..Eleventh ward—Charles R. Oliver, EL; John Sheridan. D. G. 0. P. JUBILEE. Throughout the State THE MEAT BILL. Admiral Belief, commandant of the fort res* at Cronstudt, has received a grim warning In the shape of a coffin, which wub delivered at Ills house. A cloudburst at Frackvllle, Schuylkill county, did great damtage. Many residences were flooded and the streets were turned Into rivers.

Philadelphia, June 18.—In the same assembly room ill Musical Fund hall where, 011 June 17, lSrD(D, the Republican party opened its first national convention which named Fremont and Dayton as Its presidential ticket, hundreds of Republicans from different sections of the country gathered to commcmorute the event. The proposed amendment is expected to meet with opposition from the packing Interests, who object to delegating such tliml authority to the department officials. The house of George B. Smith, on Clay avenue, Bcranton, was struck by lightning on Saturday. The flash entered the front door and passed along the floor for some distance, thtDn caromed up to the celling, broke the chandelier and Ignited the gas, which was Issuing from the broken pipe. The blaze, which started on the floor, was smothered with a rug, and the gas was turned off In time to prevent a spread of the flames. An official communication has )Deen issued saying that looting ut Biulystok has ceased and order has Iteen restored. The number of the dead has not been definitely ascertained, but it is »aid more than thirty dead have been burled. the committee went into executive stj islon to consider the amendments to the meat Inspection bill proposed by President Koosevelt. It Is believed that an agreement on all points In controversy will be reached before the close of the day. Mr. Adams expressed the opinion that the committee on agriculture will recede from Its itosltion waiving the appointment of inspectors under the civil service rules. This waiver was Inserted in the amendment because, he says, the committee was under the Impression that the department had uot a sufficient list of persous available for tliat position. He has since been Informed that there /will be a sufficient number ready'for work whenever the legislation becomes effective. Vstsran Diaa at 106.

The engines were running at a high rate of speed and both toppled over into the river. I'atal Ituilroad Collision A Shenandoah dispatch says that a house at Dost Creek, occupied by foreigners, was shattered by a. bolt of lightning. A car on the Schuylkill traction line wax also struck, and the passengers were almost thrown Into a panic. Several of the mine workings In that section were flooded.

President ltoosevelt has made public the second letter he has sent to Chairman AVadsworth of the house agricultural committee bearing on the faults of the meat inspection measure which the committee has prepared as a substitute for the Beverldge amendment. The letter says in part: The Mahanoy Creek, whlc flows through Mahanoy City, rose five feet in 30 minutes, flooding cellars for a distance of two miles. Tons of debris were irwept down from the mountains. Great damage was done in the farming districts, growing crops being uprooted. The tracks of the Schuylkill Railway Co.. between St. Nicholas and Gllberton, were washed out.1 The rain fell In torrents for hours. Tills confidence is based on the action of the governor of Grodno, who Is hated and distrusted by the bureaucrats and who, after Investigating the situation at Biulystok, took the unprecedented step In order to prevent a spread of the massacres of telegraphing the authorities of all towns within the Jewish pale denying the alleged official reports that the disorders were due to the wanton throwing of Itombs at a Christian procession by Jewish revolutionists. This measure, aided by the Catholic clergy, who yesterday throughout Russian Poland addressed their congregations Imploring them not to believe reports spread broadcast for the purpose of stirring up bloody excesses, wus efficacious in calming the agitated spirits among the Christian population. The Catholics of Warsaw canceled a great religious procession which was to hare been held In order to avoid the chance of a conflict. cesses, Historical palters were read by William Barnes, Sr., of New York, who displayed a flag which covered Liucoin's bier as his body lay In state at Albany; I)r.

The nominee of the convention arose and delivered a brief address. "In the first place 1 wish to promptly acknowledge the one portion of your letter In which you are in the main right. I wus in error In the statement which 1 accepted from Senator Beverldge that" there wus no provision for making the plants accessible at all bout's to the inspectors. The provision wus put in in unother place, but It is not us good as the original provision. He declared that. If elected, he would continue the policy he had adhered 4o during the last session of the legislature and would conserve the interests of his party and constituency, particularly the latter.
