GRAND DUKES OF RUSSIA
OPPOSED 10 ALL REFORMS
Hare Probably Influenced The Gar IL Refusing the ConstN
tion Demanded ~ The Congress Of County Councils

When both are developed, Great Brittany

lengca. When a sleeping nation awakes
and finds an outlet for It's vigor. the con-
sequences re sometimes startling. Japan
unfolded that discovery TO the world, ana
to-day England is proud to claim her MS
an ally. 4.
The demands OF Congress Of County
Councils are too much for the illlberal
ideas Of the Russian Grams .lukcs. they
demand n parliament, elccteS by popular
suffrage: the unfettcrcd education OF the
people; freedom OF the local councils from
interference b. the bureaus; reforms 70
improve the lot OF the peasantry; liberty
OF conscience Of press, OF a social ton ana
OF meeting. In short, the miserable mill
lions OF Russia demand that they shall
be as free and enlightened people as
tho English or Americans. and that the
tyranny OF the bureaucracy shall be shat
tered. IS g. a
The remarkable and significant feature
!of the demand liz that 1t comes from the
mouths. not Of the hungry, ignorant. en-

serfs. but from the great lords Of the

their motives are purely altruistic.l Whole

Of personal interest. In. time they came

EDINBURGH, Dec. H.

{1siss El)1NBU Rltll, lDcC.s 1i.ss
The discovery Of a secret furnace and
what are supposed to be the charred ashes
OF human bones at Logic House, on the
outskirts Of Dundee, recalls an old-timet
tragedy.
The house was the property In the eight

himself the unenviable title Of the Dell

food"
Whether Kalee was starved to death or
whether she was removed by speedier
means is unknown, but she died, and was
buried in Logic church yard, where her
tomb is to be seen to this day.
Even now the old wives Of the neiEhbor-
hood tell stories round the fire Of the wild
orgies al the house. S
It is said that after Kalee's death
Fletcher married widow and returned
TO India, where he was seized by the rela-
tiyes of his murdered bride and torn
asunder by wild horses.
The popular theory of the recent find is
that Knlec was not the only victim Of the

sitting in boats are pulled round by

Before the advent Of the Ecclesiastical
Commission the revenue OF the Bishop OF
Winchester. which is now fixed ut e6500 a
year. was estimated to be $4,000. Now.
however, none but rich man can be
Bishop OF Winchester, for the revenue Of
the See Is insufficient to maintain Its re-;

has to do. 5 u 3t
But lis not rema rkable that the Bishop
OF Winchester should not be able to live
on R65oo q year. for, while meeting the
great claims Of a populous diocese, he has
to maintain also the fine old Farnham

de Blois, and still is the episcopal palace

said to extend over more than a mie3in

security is bound to be the re-
suit of the harmony existing
now between the great leaders

trouble was expected. Senator
David b, Hill, representing the

ty and William Jennings Bryan,
the tribune of the people, were
expected to furnish the sensa
tional feature of the convention,
each in his effort to inject into
the platform of the party his
own ideas Of what the party
demanded. Bitterness w a S
looked for-hdrmony was the
result. The party is united and
will line up in solid phalanx
against the common enemy,
Possibly defeat will be its por'
ton, but if so, it will be admin
istered by the enemy and not
the result of discord, strife and
chickering's within our own party
lines.
II was a picture when Senator
Hill and Col. Bryan came out OF
the committee room side by
side and smiling. Each leader
was satisfied with what had
been agreed on for the platform,
The sting of defeat ranked in
the heart of neither True,
neither had gotten all he want
