RUSSIA'S WAY.
If Measure Can't Go Through the
State Council it Goes Around.

London, Feb 5.-A Standard dispatch
says the measure providing for an al

become a law by imperial ukase with
out the formaity of passing through
the state council, a majority of the
members of the state council being OPP
posed to the change.
Thus the measure is legalized in what
is virtually a constitutional fashion,
but it is opposed by a majority of the
economists, hnancierS and by educated
people generally.
