 Among the measures outlined by his majesty for the attainment of these ends is reform of the rural laws.
 The decree, which was issued in com memoration of the anniversary of the birthday of Alexandar III, is consid- cred to be the most significant act of state since the emancipation of the serfs. The public halls it as the proc lamation of new era opening up bright prospects of the early improve ment of Russian internal administra- ton.
 There is much excitement in. the large cities over the proclamation, and cheering crowds surround every fence and wall bearing the printed copies. Services are being held in all the churches, both orthodox and nonortho- dox, and crowds of people are offering praises and calling down blessings upon their ruler
 The nonorthodox, and especially the Jewish churches, which have been compelled heretofore to conduct their meetings under degree of secrecy, have now opened their doors, and many of the poorer class of Russians, who have never dared to even be seen in the neighborhood of the nonorthodox churches, are focking to these places of worship.
 It is an open secret that the action of the czar was taken only after persist ant r,Ina dino Inv tbo ozo viy,a IT. hos been known for some time that she told her closest friends it was the dream of her life to see the poor peas ants freed from all restrictions in the matter of religion.

Professor Dwyer Has Draw in

Professor Dwyer Has Draw In
 Bridgeport.
 Bridgeport, March 13.-The wrestling match between Prof M. J. Dwyer of this city and Duncan McMillan Of Scranton, Pa, at Madison hall, last night, resulted in a tie. Each man se- cured fall, but neither was able to win inside of the time limit. The match was catch h-as-catch-can. It was 9:3O when the preliminary match was over and the main contest announced. There was a small number of specta- tors, but these were enthusiastic at the performance. It was one of the hard est and fastest matches which has been held this year. The men struggled on the mat for 23 minutes before either was thrown. Dwyer then had his man on his back, both shoulders fairly touching. After the rest of ten min, utes they again clinched. In eleven minutes the professor was the under man. and each of the contestants had scored fall. In the six minutes of time remaining after rest of ten minutes, neither man was able to score a fall, and tAe contest closed. one all. Dick Howell acted as referee and Lou Richards as timekeeper. After the match the men posted a forfeit of $50 for another match to be held in this city within a month.
 Jack NIunroe, the big miner pugilist, who jumped into fame by getting a decision over Champion Jeffries at Butte, Montana, will tackle another strenuous game tonight at Madison Square Garden. He is scheduled to meet Tom Jenkins, the former cham pion catch-as-catch-can wrestler, in a handicap match, in which Jenkins con- tracts to throw the miner four times within one hour. s
 It is an undertaking which will tax the great strength and wonderful sci- ence of the big wrestler. Munroe is a big, tough. game fellow, with all the Irishman's love for a hard scrap, and as he and his manager lave bet $1,- 900 that Jenkins will not succeed, he will make a desperate fight
 The Cuban Wonder" Jenkins's phe- nomenal wrestling partner, will be a star feature of the show He will undertake the herculean task of throw ing any three men who dare face him within half an hours time. Failing to do this, he will forfeit $20o to each man. There will be several other preliminaries.

Some of the teams are opposed to this and wish to have the league remain as it was last sea- son. The matter will De all threshed out tonight and perhaps the rules and regulations of the league will be pre- pared tonight. Last season was very successful one, and with no pro- fessional team in the city this year, the, City Amateur league should put up some fast base ball and create even more interest than last year. The otfi- cers will not be elected tonight be- cause the rules of last year, which are still in force, call for the election of officers in April.

That President Roosevelt will be
renominated to succeed himself has
long been foregone conclusion.
The lines are now so closely drawn
that 1t Is proper to say that only
the hand os death could prevent
his denomination. His election is
almost as certain as his renomina-
ton, but at the same time his elect
ion will be combatted by most pow
erful Influences of greed and cor.
ruption, while the democracy, the
ancient foe of republicanism will
be quick to take every advantage
of the situation.
President Roosevelt has incurred
the bitter enmity of two classes
the greedy trust manipulators and
the thieves in public office. But
Roosevelt will triumph over all
the forces of greed and corruption
The people are aroused on thest
issues ard they will stand by oul
brave and inoorruptible president
and be will be triumphantly re.
