CzAR'S PFASANTRY
TO BE BENEFITED
Government Conferences Are
Called to Elaborate the
New Laws.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 2S.1The
imperial ukase announced, ordering the
assembling of government conferences
under the presidency of the governors
of the various provinces where the ru-
raj authorities hold Office and in the
government of Kieff, Volhynia and
Podolia, in order to elaborate the new
peasant laws, monopolizes attention
here, relegating the far Eastern crisis
to secondary place The press enthu-
siastically halls the proposed reforms
which are based on the manifesto of
March II, 1903, the newspapers reiter-
ating that this is the greatest step for
the betterment of the conditions Of the
peasantry since the emancipation Of
the serfs.
The ukase is welcomed by the Lib
erals, although the Novosti remarks
that 1t is a pity that the peasants
themselves are not empowered, spe-
cifically to send delegates.
The drafting committee proposes that
the laws shall be guided by the follow
ing aims:
To harmonic the existing peasant
legislation with modern requirements
to reorganiZe the courts In order to ex-
pedite the settlement of village dis
putes; to define individual rights re-
garding communal lands; to discover
means for stimulating individual en-
terprise and the adoption of modern
farming methods; to settle disputes
between peasants and neighboring land
owners, and to instill in the peasants
respect for the laws and rights of
property.
The new laws will be applicable only
40 1n Of
where reliable statistics and data are
available without which the drafting
committee declines to undertake the
task

E0HERE was published few seasons
4 ago a little red volume which
purported to give the names and
brief history of the women composers
of the world. 1t was patheticaHy thin
but nobody ventured to say that it was
incomplete. 1t had to be accepted as
an evidence of how little women have
accomplished in creative work in music.
1t is observable, however, and this
season more than ever before-that, as
Interpreters, women are forging steadi-
ly ahead, especially in piano and violin
work. Now one absolutely lacking In
creative power cannot be a great in
terpreter, and this is as true of mu-
sician as it is true of an actor. The
player must recreate what the composer
created or his performance is merely
an exhibition in finger gymnastics.
This season three women pianists
have aroused great enthusiasm because
of their interpretative art, Bloomfield

WON'T HURT US MUCH.
Middle European Economic society's
Field Is Restricted,

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-The programme
of the Middle European Economic So
ciety is rather skeptically criticised
throughout Germany. 1t is pointed out
that the society embraces extremely
heterogeneous elements, whose disa-
greement regarding aims and means
was averted at the first meeting of
the society only by a careful avoid
ance of debatable subjects.
To bring about a general tariff in
middle Europe would conflict with the
existing protective systems, and it's
adoption would be of doubtful advan-
tage, though 1t is admitted that the
machinery and tool manufacturers
would gain immensely from the
Standardization of their products. 1t is
believed that the society is likely to
find its most fruitful labors in the sim
plification Of the customs procedure
and the attainment of greater harmony
in the commercial laws of the various
countries

FRENCH HEARTILY
SECOND RECIPROCITY
Arrangement May Include Other Arti-
cIes Than Pork and Wine.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The officials of the
United States embassy and of the
ministry of commerce express salts
faction over the dispatches from
Washington indicating disposition to
make a commercial agreement between
France and the United States. Ne
gotiations to that end have been in
progress since last July, when the
French parliament, without warning,
placed q practically prohibitive rate
on American pork and salt meat Dur
ing the negotiations an official inti-
nation was given that If the prohibi-
tive rates on American pork were con-
tinued President Roosevelt might find
it necessary to exercise his authority
under the reciprocity agreement of 1898
of suspending the reduced rates which
the United States accords to French
clarets and other still wines.
Under the agreement of 1898 French
still wines are admitted into the
United States at 35 cents per gallon,
which is considerably below the regu-
lar rate, but a clause in the agreement
gives the president the right to sus-
pend the reduced rate if any action is
taken prejudicial to American trade.
1t was therefore pointed out to the
ministry of commerce that the pro-
hibitive rates on American pork were
likely to be considered as SO prejudi-
cial to American trade so as to war
rant the president suspending the priv
ileged tariff granted to French still
wines. The French authorities met the
suggestion in a most agreeable and
conciliatory spirit. They asked, how
ever, whether, if the low rates on
American pork We're restored, the
United States would reduce the rate
on French champagnes. This was not
conceded, as it was claimed that the
minimum rates on pork was matter
Of right, having existed when the reci-
procity agreement of 1898 was signed
During the discussion the statement
was made that if the United States
reduced the rate on champagnes,
France would reduce the rate on Porto
Rico coffee. But the coffee reduction
was not considered fair equivalent
for a reduction on champagnes.
The discussion has not reached def
mite results, as the question Of further
concessions Is dependent upon the bill
now pending in parliament petitioning
the government to restore low rates
on pork and salt meats. The measure
is meeting with resistance from the
agricultural element, on the ground
that the American products threaten
French Industry, but there are indica-
tions that the government influence
will secure its passage. The rates,
therefore, will be reduced from so
francs per 100 kilos to 20 francs, which
Is sufficient to renew the trade inter-
rupted since last July. 1t is expected
that the readmission of American pork
may lead to a further agreement on
other articles discussed.

st. Paul, fortunately, is to hear one
of these great interpreters this week.
Miss Aus der Ohe is considered not
merely a great woman pianist, but
great pianist. Lovers of Chopin will
rejoice that she has included in her
programme for Thursday night the B
fiat minor sonata, greater music than
which the Polish composer never wrote.
The famous third movement, the
''Marche Funebre" demands for its ade-
quate Interpretation a wealth of tone
color which this pianist is able to sup
ply. Her bravura work, which the finale
of this sonata, her final number,
LISTS "Tarantelle di Bravura" and 9TH
er numbers on the programme will
give her an opportunity to display, has
also aroused genuine enthusiasm in the
East. The complete programme for
her recital Thursday night, which will
be given in the Park Congregational

PROGRAMMES.

The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra
has secured the use of Wesley church, in
that city, in which to give the three con-
Guiding concerts for this season. The next
one is to be given on Friday evening, Jan.
20, and the pianist, Adele Aus der Ohe,
will be the assisting artist She will play
with the orchestra the LisZt Concerto No.
J. in which she is at her very best, with
ample opportunity for the display of that
wonderful technic, that subtlety of ca
dence and breadth Of tone, with which she
alternately dazzles and wooes her listen
ers.
Much is expected of the orchestra at
this concert With the benefit of the
winters work behind them the men should
play with more unanimity and more per-
lection of detail. The director has had
time to discover and strengthen the weak
places, and to give those players who are
most able that opportunity which will
allow them to display their powers to the
best advantage.
The programme which is offered for the
next concert is selected with the usual
good taste which is so noticeable factor

Island, of the four -masted schooner Au-

two men were saved.
Soon after midnight, during a dense fog,
the schooner stranded a few hundred feet
from the beach. A life-saving patrolman
heard cries for help and summoned the
station crew. For hours the life-savers
were able to hear the cries of the men on
the vessel, which was buried in the fog,
but they were unable to help the men.
Time and time again the life-savers
launched their boat only to have it hurl-
ed back by the surf. The savers also
had recourse to the life lines, but the
shots carrying the lines either fell wide

ADJUSTMENTS
Miss Bob White"

"Miss Bob White was presented at the
 Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night The opera fingers in the mem
 ory of those so fortunate to see 1t for its freshness, It's charm and the melody l that floods all three acts. Miss Bob White" Is one of the most tuneful comic operas that has been given in Birming- ham for many day. Every air was worth remembering and the songs were of a quality that impresses them on the mind until one forgets and begins to whistle unawares. The scenery was adequate and the costuming appropriate. While the company was not strong numerically, 1t contained many good voices that were heard to advantage, and the pretty music in itself would have atoned for any other defects had they been glaring enough to cause comment.
 The comedy was capably produced by Mir Deshon and J. L. Mcclure. Both of these comedians are very funny fellows. in an odd sort of way that reminds one of horseplay. yet their humor is not real horseplay, either. There is nothing coarse in the entire opera, and though the two comedians brought forth many laughs. they never got beyond the bounds of a very proper sort of fun. Both MT. Deshon and MT. Mcclure won applause and added much to the pleasure of the performance by their tribulations while playing the part of millionaire tramps paying an elec- tion bet by wandering over the country without funds and without food
 Miss Mae Phelps was Miss Bob White" and she played the part in a very charm ing manner, although at first her enuncia- ton when speaking her lines fell trife oddly on the ear. However, she sang we'll as did Miss Alice Kraft Benson, who was "Goldenrod" and H. c. Saylor as Jack Hearty
 There is a certain sprghtliness and -of-the-country atmosphere about Miss Bob White" that appeals to one very strongly at times. There are many songs in Miss sob White" that will not be forgotten soon and the entire perform ance last night was captivating
