St. Petersburg. Aug. 15.—Cxar Nicholas’ review of the ruard at the
summer camp at Krasneyo-Selo was a success from every point of view.
His majesty, attended by the Grand Duke Vladimir, and holding the
czarevitch In his arms, was repeatedly cheered by the troops as they
passed In review.
When It Is remembered that this was the first appearance of the csar
before his troops since the present troubles began, and that there was great
fear that he was courting assassination by dlls determination to show him
self at this time, the demonstration Is considered to be remarkable.
REVIEW OF RUSSIAN TROOPS IS SPECTACULAR.
The review was most spectacular. Forty battalions of Infantry, thirty-
nine cavalry squadrons, 174 guns of artillery and twelvu batteries of max
ims constituted the columns. The emperor was dressed In the uniform
of a hussar and was accompanied In a preliminary ride among the troops
by Empress Alexandra and Queen Olga, of Greece.
In the review were the Grand Duke Nicholas, at the head of the foot
soldiers. Grand Duke Sergius, leading'the cuirassiers, and Grand Duke
Michael with the dragoons.
CZAREVITCH BEGINS CRYING DURING THE REVIEW.
Just before the beginning of the review the czarevitch began to cry.
The emperor gathered him Into hts arms,'amid the cheering of the soldiers.
The father and the boy sat together on one horse nntll'the pageant had
passed.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 15.—The
rote bill, the drastic railway legislation
enacted by congress. Is destined to be
a failure, according to the unofficial re
port which comes from tho conference
of 100 railway lawyers and traffic man
agers of the Southern railroads, who
are In conference at the Marlborough-
Dlenhelm In secret session.
The outcome of the conference, from
present Indications, will be the formu
lating of a general plan to adopt the
bill and apply regulations In a uniform
manner, In order to prove that the
measure Is Impracticable of application.
Judge Baxter, who appears to be lead'
Ing the advocacy of meeting the legls
latlon fairly and squarely, has given the
rate legislation thorough study, and
his view Is accepted by tlje conference
that ft Is vague, conflicting and a tan
gle of words, and that while theoreti
cally It was designed for the benefit of
both shipper and railway. It Is such an
Inconsistent measure that It must fall.

In the city exceeds the attendance at

Corporal Tanner,- "and I defy you to
