trict was burned tonight, causing a loss
Of nearly $500, 600. The fire originated

RUSSIAN PEASANT REFORMS.
Manifesto of the Car Sent TO the
Provinces.


St Petersburg, Jan. I7.-Minister OF
the Interior Plehve has completed the
draft of the peasant code. or scheme
for the peasant reforms ordered in the
cars recent manifesto, and It will
probably be sent to the local commit
tees throughout the empire within a
few days.
Members of the nobility in each prov
iEce and district viii be allowed to
elect representatives on these commit
tees, but the zemstvos Cor elective pro
vincial assemblies. composed of landed
proprietors and representatives of the
artisans and peasants,l VIII be ap-
pointed by the governors.
The committees will be allowed free
dom to discuss the project ana propose
any changes therein. except on three
points which the emperor has reserved
from discussion. namely that the peas
ant class must remain entirely separ-
ate, legally, from the other classes;
that the commune is to remain I'M
touched by legislation. and that the
peasant lands are TO remain inalienable.
These points stamp the forthcoming
legislation as conservative in the main,
but the present chaos is so great and
so much room is left for the arbitrary
CONDUCT OF the police and the local rep
resentatives Of the ministry of the in
terror. as well as of the peasant courts
and administrative machinery and
their commune town meetings, that
the liberals declare any codification
would be in the line of progress.
The ministerial project proposes to
retain the system of corporal punish
ment, but the emperor did not include
this among the matters not subject to
change. The emperor regards the
preservation of the peasant class. the
retention of the economic commune and
the inalienability of peasant lands as
necessary for the protection Of the
peasants from exploitation.

ANGLo-sAxoN IDEALS.
What Japan Is Said to Be Fight
inc For.

London. Jan. 1s.-The Times Toxic
correspondent says that in recent
speeches by publicists the claim was
made that Japan is lighting for Anglo
Saxon ideals in Asia instead of mill
tary despotisn, and that several Toxic
journals rejoice that America is now
in the same camp with Japan"
The Russian correspondent Of the
Times hears that a special council pre-
sided over by the car arrived at the
conclusion that war should be avoided.
The inference, they say, is that the
speech of Premier Balfour at Man
chester Jan. II, in which he said NO
one can contemplate hoshlities be
tween two great civilized countries
without feelings of misgiyings and of
depression" declaring that Great Brit
ain would carry out to the fullest eX-

conclusion Russia intends to open ports

sions with regard to Korea and posi-
bly, even not retain Port Arthur Is a
