peasant against despotism.
Separation from the Orthodox church,
a body Of people hostile to the official
church and existing government, is re-
ligious movement now gaining strength
in Russia and fraught with no little polit-
ical import. The dissenters have been,
and still are, severely prosecuted, but
they now number in greater Russia alone
IL 100000 people. In addition to the fric-
ton caused by the detection from the
Greek church. is the completely that
arises because of the widely diverse
forms of religion existing in the coun-
try; the Roman Catholicism of the Pol
ish population, the Protestant faith of
the German and Finn, the Buddhism of
the Mongols, the Mussulman faith OF
Crimean Russians.
The industrial depression in Russia
and the famine of 1901 gave opportunity
to the socialists and liberals of the land
to stir up the people as the nihilists were
not able to do. The professional and off,
cial classes both are taking part in ex-
pressions of disapproval of the govern
ment, though still retaining loyalty to
the car, whom, they maintain, is kept in
ignorance of existing conditions. Stu
dents of the institutions of higher educa-
ton are boldly showing their sympathy
with the oppressed, and from time to
time their acts are of a decidedly revolu-
tionary character. Revolutionary tracts
are sent out from government Offices, the
nobility discuss political reforms, the
works of banished Russian writer's some
how find entrance into the country and
wide circulation.
The government has endeavored to- sup
press these intellectual leaders by ban
ishment to the country districts, and the
result has been a wider field for the
workers. Violence has marked the re-
cent movement; the agitators have re.
sorted to assassination methods; the
Cossack police have dragged and sho,
down the rioters, and offenders have re-
ceived the Siberian sentence. Women,
too, have taken part in the student riots,
and, like the men, have felt the Cossack
whips on their backs. In addition to the
student riots, strikes and labor riots have
occurred in scattered portions OF Russia,
and agragarian riots have led to vio-
lence of no small extent In the various
uprisings the sold;ery have some times
been too weak to interfere; some times
too mutinous.

CATHOLIC UNIVERsITY.

An executive session of the board Of
trustees of the Catholic University was
held Yesterday at the university, in
Washington, Cardinal Gibbons, president
of the board, presiding.
The recent collection taken by request
of the Pope in all the Catholic churches
of America amounted, it is believed, to
nearly 500, 600, and its proper distri-
button was probably determined upon
at the meeting yesterday. A number OF
distinguished churchmen attended the
meeting, among them being Cardinal
Gibbons, Archbishop Williams, OF Bos-
ton; Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul,
and Archbishop Keane, OF Dubuque.
There was a general discussion ofplans
and the work was outlined for the meet
ing of trustees and of all the archbishops
of the United States to be held in Wash
ington next spring.
A discussion was reached to add de-
partment of pedagogy and a bureau of
statistics in Catholic education TO the
university. This announcement was
interpreted by Catholic students and
benefciaries as indicating liberal and
broad policy and healthy condition OF
the finances of the university.
Yesterdays action will mean the ad-
dition of new corps OF instructors. The
work to be done by the bureau OF statis-
tics of Catholic education will cover the
entire United States.
1t was decided to choose general
secretary to the university at the April
meeting. The position Of vice-rectoI
will not be filed.
Scriptural instruction will be broad
ened aud included under a department
to be organized next year, to be known
as the department of scriptures.
Announcement was made that the
Knights OF Columbus will make dona'
tion of chair of American history with
an endowment of $50, 600.
A letter of thanks was voted to Pope
Plus Y for his letter in favor OF the uni
versity, especially for his call for funds
which, it is stated, had borne much more
fluit than was expected
The trustees were entertained at din
ner by Rev. Denis O'Gonnell and a re
cepton was given them by the member
OF the families OF the faculty at Caldwell
Hall at night.

TO RAISE WAR FUND.

The London Stars Kobe correspond
ent says that the japanese government
will issue excequer bonds to the amount
of G1O, 900, 600 (about $50, 600, OOO and
will raise a war fund by doubling the
land, income and sugar taxes.
Japan is busy perfecting financial
programme. The announced plan to
issue bonds and increase taxation meets
with popular approval, but some objec.
tions have been made to the proposed
method of procedure, as well as to the
redemption plan. 1t is said that the
final details will be settled soon.
Premier KatsurI and the other mem,
bers of the japanese Cabinet entertained
at dinner last night number of promi-
nent bankers of the empire, who have
gathered at Toxic to discuss the financial
situation and assist in the lperfecting of
the governments programme. Today
the Premier and Cabinet will give din
ner to a group of millionaire financiers
and President Matsuwo, OF the Bank OF
Japan, will give banquet to the visit
ing bankers, at which Matsukata and
Inoyou, former ministers of finance, will
deliver addresses. The Marquis IT.,
Matsukata and General Yamagata, mem
bers of the Imperial Household Finance
Council, had an audience with the EN-
peror yesterday at which it was decided
that the imperial household should sub
scribe to the governments ssueof bonds
should they be issued Itwas undecided,
however what amount should be taken.
This will make the Emperor personal
subscriber to the proposed bonds. The
government is receiving many offers for
the bonds, and it is said that the issue
will be oversubscribed several times.
The London Daily Graphic claims 10
be able to affirm that Russia's draft OF
her reply has not yet been officially
presented to Japan, but that it has been
communicated to NJ. Kurino, the Jap
anese Minister at st. Petersburg, who
has transmitted the contents to Toxic,
whence it will be conveyed to the friendly
powers. The Russian reply is courte-
Gus, the Daily Graphic says, but 1t re-
fuses in uncompromising terms to per-
nit the reinsertion in the draft of the
treaty of the two words guaranteeing
the integrity and independence OF China
upon which Japan INSISTED in her last
note.
The clause proposed by Japan was
that Russia aud Japan should mutually
agree to respect the "fntegrity and indie
pendence of China and Korea" Russia
has now stricken out twice the words
"China and" and it is understood this
will close the negotiations. 1t is prob
able, the Daily Graphic goes on, that
when this note has been presented Japan
will notify Baron de Rosen, the Russian
Minister at Toxic, that she has no
alternative but to take up arms III de-
fense Of her interests, and that NJ.
Kurino will be instructed to demand his
passports. In the meanwhile, instruc-
tionS have been sent to the two japanese
cruisers now at Colombo to proceed to
Singapore, where, in the event OF war
being declared, that crews will be paid
off and the vessels laid up.
