Wild Belief That He Will Not Make
Concessions.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-The delay
in the issuance of the imperial mani
festo outlining reforms has led to the
widest rumors according to Whlch En-
peror Nicholas has turned back on the
idea Of making any concessions, the
Immediate downfall Of the interior min
lister, Sviatopolk- Mirsky, is imminent,
and the prospective nomination Of
Lieutenant General Kleigels governor
general Of Kieff, as his successor may
be looked for These reports, according
to the Associated Press information,
are entirely without foundation. 1t rs
beyond question that the measures
shortly to be announced will be entire
ly unsatisfactory to the extremists and
to many liberals, who will be content
with nothing less than complete rev
,olution Of the government. The prop
osition for constitution and the con-
vocation of a national assembly, the
emperor after careful consultation with
his ministers and other advisers, has
rejected as Impractical and impossible
under the existing conditions but what
is termed a definite program of ration
al measurers of reform, In the d1rec-
ton of liberality has been decided upon
and shortly will be announced
At the same time, in order to put
stop to the ferment into which the
country has been thrown by the pres
ent agitation, the announcement VIII
be made in such a fashion as to leave
the people under no illusions regard :

Commissioner Garfield in His Annual
Report Made Public Today, Recon-
mends Legislation in That Direction.

Washington, Dec. 21.--The first gen.
eral report Of Commissioner Garfield
was made public today. He says no
satisfactory reform is to be expected
under the state system of incorpora-
tions; that the federal government has
at it's command sufficient power to
remedy existing conditions in its con-
troll of interstate commerce. He there
fore suggests that congress consider the
advisability Of enacting a law for leg
islative regulation Of interstate and
foreign commerce under license or
franchise, which in general should pro-
vide for imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organiza-
ton and management. and requirement
Of such reports and returns as may be
desired, prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
in interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or IL
cense; full protection of grantees who
obey laws applicable thereto; right to
refuse or withdraw such franchise or
license in case of violation of the law
with the appropriate right of judi
cial appeal to prevent abuse of power
by administrative offices. The COM
missioner says the bureau under the
direction of the secretary OF commerce
and labor affords appropriate machin-
cry for administration Of such a law.

All Japan is ringing with praises Of
General Sameil1na as the hero OF the
assault on Keewam mountain tort. u
is conceded that his heroism inspired
his men and turned a threatened dis
aster into splendid victory.
General Samejinla is an old Samural
veteran of the war of the restoration
and the Satsuma rebellion. He is gray
haired and bent. but is wiry and active.
He is an engineer and was formerly
garrison commander. He is Japan's
specialist in fortifications and was
called to Port Arthur to superintend
the seige works. He was not assigned
to an active command, and 1T is sup
posed that General Samejima replaced
General Tsuchiya as division COM
mander.

Prof Beach. who is one of the best
workers in fruit in the country, Is too
high for the college. The state horti-

this will hardly secure him. It Is de-
sired that some eminent horticulturist
be procured who will give Iowa a high
standing in this line. The fruit men
feel that this work has been neglected

Camden. N. j., Dec. 21. - Mayor Jo-

by the city council for the purchase Of
land for park purposes.
The mayor refused to sign the bonds
on the ground that the price to be paid
for the land was excessive, but the
supreme court handed down decision
yesterday directing that writ be Is
