CZAR FEARS DEATH TOMORROW
Little Father looks for assassins to be busy at open
ing of parliament-Great precautions being taken by
police to guard him--People are angry
\ ,
St. Petersburg, May 9.? The czar
feurs assassination at the opening of ,
parliament tomorrow. The route from
the castle to the meeting place will be j
closed to the public tomorrow and a
guard stretched the entire distance.
Thousands of police are arriving from
interior towns to be on duty here. The I
time of the departure of the czar from ;
the palace will remain a dead secret, j
All bridges in the city will be ciosed j
tomorrow all day.
Cossacks have searched the baggage
of several members of parliament in
the last day and that is cnusing much
feeling'. Many terrorists have been
arrested.
There are said to be hundreds of
anarchists in the c:tv.
The czar's address will hava little to
do with politics.
Came of Hnrd Feeling
St. Petersburg, May 9. ? The cause of
much of the hard feeling against, the
czar, which has become very bitter and
acute, was his unexpected promulga
tion cf the fundamental law last night
It nulified all the powets of parliament
and aroused the people to the wildest
anger, A wave of condemnation is
sweeping the empire from end to end.
The cabinet is doomed for a very short
life and rebellion is in the air.
Charge Czar With Duplicity
.St. Petersburg, May 0 ?The good
impression created by the statement of
Goremykin, who alleged that Count
Witte was dismissed because he is not
liberal enough, has been completely
eradicated, It was hoped for a time
that the czar and parliament would
work together but the issuance of the
fundamental law, depriving parliament
of power, has dissipated the hope. The
liberals are dumfounded and all Russia
unhesitatingly charges the czar with
practicing duplicity. It is admitted
that the empire is nearer revolution
now than It ever has been.

Kieff, Russia, May 9. ? General Count
