PROGRAMME OF REFORMS.
Emperor Nicholas Manifesto is Re-
9arded as LiberaI-M. Witte is the
Man of the Hour.

st. Petersburg, December 27.-Whiie
Emperor Nicholas manifesto on Rus
sian reforms, coupled with the govern.
ment note of warning on the same SUBJ
ject, leaves no doubt that it is the firm
intention of the Emperor to maintain
unimpaired the autocratic principle
which no observer here ever ina gined he
would relinquish and not yield to the
Zemstvost demand for national legiS-
lature, the programme of reforms out
lined is a broad one and if it had not
been preceded by the agitation of the
last few months, would probably have
been accepted with universal acclaim
in Russia as extremely liberal. The rails
ing of the peasants to an equality with
other citizens Of the empire is alone
practically second only to the emarci-
patton of the serfs. but hardly less i'm
pOrtant are the guarantees which the
manifesto directs to be incorporated in
the laws, for the protection of the per-
sonal liberties of the people against
the abuse of the administrative arbi-
trariness. The measures taken under
thestate of seige are no longer permit
the state. The increase in the impor-
tance of the scope of the Doumas and
Zemstvos as well as the creation Of
smaller Zemstvo units, the definite pro-
lection of the Jews, Arminians, and
other unorthodox sects and the revision
of the press laws are all on the line Of
the Zemstvo demands. The extremists
of course are not satisfied and many Of
the moderate liberals are disappointed.
The government note threatening
drastic measures IN the event of con-
tinuation of the vain agitation which
the government considered necessary 20
put stop to the existing ferment, is
resented deeply By them and it is fear
ed will inflame rather than allay the
present agitation. Harsh measures, it
is understood, will, however, be avoided
and the government expects that the
solid nature of the reforms offered will
gradually draw to its support all ex-
cept the extreme radicals.
Fully as important as the govern
ment's answer to the Zemstvoits, is The
position in which NJ Witte is placed by
confiding the reforms to the committee
of ministers of. which he is president.
The old finance minister becomes the
man of the hour, confirming the -e-
ports that he is again in high imperial
favor.

St. Paul, Minn., December 27.-Attor-
ney General Moody for the United
States, through United States District
Attorney Haupt and Frank B. Kellogg
and James NJ. Beck, special assistant
attorneys general of the United States,
late this afternoon filed a petition in the
United states district court, in which
he makes the General Paper Company
as principal defendant and it's constitu-
ent companies party defendants In a
suit to enjoin them and restrain them
from doing business through the Gen.
eral Paper company as the sales agent,
I in violation of provisions of sections
1 and of the act of Congress approved
July 2, 1890 entitled an "Act to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful
restraints and monopolies.''
The petition alleges that the defen-
dants entered into an agreement to
combine and control the sale of the prc-
the General Paper Company in that the
General Paper Company regulated
prices, sales and shipment and territory
for the sale of the same and after de-
Quoting operating expenses Of the Cen
eral Paper Company, divided the sur
plus among the members Of the corpor-
alton.
The petition recites that the General
Paper Company was organized under
the laws of Wisconsin. May 26th 1900
with a capital stock of $100, 900, divided
into 1000 shares which were distributed
among, and are now held by certain Of
the defendants named and that later
the others were taken into the cOmbi-
nation, naming them in the order in
which they were taken into the COM
bine and goes on to state that the Gen.
eral Paper Company became the eX-
elusive selling agent for the defendants,
with absolute power to control the OUT
put of the various mills, fix the price of
all paper sold and to whom and upon
what terms and conditions the paper
should be sold; and into what states
and places it shall be shipped and what
customers and which mills each shall
supply.
quence of the combination, all competl-
ton in the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution of paper had been restricted
and the price of all paper products
greatly increased, particularly that of
news print paper, which has been in
creased about fifty per cent. 1t further
states that no dealers or newspapers
or other consumers in the territory west
of the Mississippi, with the exception
of certain newspaper publishers in ST.
Louis and Chicago can purchase any
paper. except directly through the Cen
eral Paper Company and then only
upon terms dictated by the latter.
The court is asked to declare the
alleged combination unlawful and that
the defendants be perpetually enjoined
from doing any act in pursuance OF the
same That the General Paper Com
pany be enjoined from acting as sales
agent for the other defendants and that
the latter be enjoined from continuing
their arrangement with the Generai
Paper Company.
The court is also asked to direct the
defendants to come into court and ans
wer all questions relating to the ailega-
tions of the petition as may be neces-
