RUSSIAN REFORMS AN EVEN DOZEN
PLANs APPLIED SHOP
CONSIDERED LICENSES, ONLY THREE
Many Othes Come
That Time
NO PROTESTS MADE YET

Thus far but twelve applications
for dram shop license for the year
1905 have been filed with the county
clerk, but it is known that many more
cants but three are from the city
and many we'll known saloonists have
not yet made application. There are
yet several days before County Judca
kerwin will act upon the applications
and there is yet time. The same ap-
plication for city license will be made
from those in the city. These appli-
cations are yet to be filed with the
city clerk and will be acted upon al
the next meeting of the city council.
One new applicant is noted among
the applications from tie city, that
OF T. f. Buck. who will establish =
saloon and dram shop at III Main
street
Many applications for license in
the county are to be considered by
County Judge Kerwin and it is under
stood that the nine applicants for
county license have all petitions ask
ing the county judge to allow them
ty Judge Phillips refused to grant
licenses in the county outside the III
corporated towns but it is understood
that Judge Kerwin will take a differ
ent view of the matter and will
grant licenses where a majority OF
the citizens request it in the form Of a
petition.
So far as can be learned no pro-
test against granting the licenses
either in the city or county have
been filed.
Applications in the office cf the
county clerk are as follows:

trouble in this city some years and
has been caught time and again for

| Iolice Judge Toney has tried every
Way in his power to reform the boy
and has allowed him to go free when
perhaps he should have been sent to

AUTOcRATIC REGIME STANDS.

St. Petersburg Dec. 2S.-Whlle
Emperor Nicholas manifesto on Rus
sian reforms, coupled with the note
| of warning on the subject, leaves no
emperor to maintain the autocratic
regime which no observer here inn
agned he would yield to the zemstvo
| demand for national legislature.
| the program of reforms outlined is a
| broad one, and had it not been pre-
ceded by the agitation of the last few
mcnths would probably have been
accepted as extremely liberal.
The raising of the peasants to an
equality with other citizens Of the
empire is alone practically second
only to tie emancipation of the
serfs. but hardly less important are
tie guarantees which the manifesto
directs to be incorporated in the laws
for the personal protection of the lib
critics of the people. The measures
taken under the seal of siege are no
longer permissible, except in cases of
crimes against the state The in
crease in the scope Of doumas anc
Zemstvos. as we'll as the creation OF
smaller Zemstyos, the definite protec-
ton of the Jews and other non ortho-
doX sects are all on the line of the
iZemstyo demands.
The extremists of course. are not
satisfied.
Victory for Prince Mirsky.
The general opinion is that the
manifesto represents a victory for In
terror Minister Sviatopolk Mirsky and
The Conservative Liberals, and NJ. p.
oboedonOff, prOcurator of the general
! hcly synod, and the reactionaries
and practically places the strong
combination of NJ. Witte and Sviato-
II elk Mirsky behind the governments S
II Hogram. The vagueness with which
the reforms are outlined gives possi-
h!lities Of expansion or limitation, ac-
cording to the ideas prevailing. With
maa of NJ. Witte's domination and
force at the head of the committee OF
ministers, the general belief is that
he will control them.
Those allied with the zemstvoists
express the intention of continuing
the agitation. despite the govern
nent's note of warning. They be-
l'eve that the dissimilarity of the
two documents will enable them to
continue the fight.
The response of the people gener,
ly and of the Liberals and reyou.
'onaries is watched with intense in.
Aterest. No one imagines that any OF
/ he classes will be satisfied. but on
the course they have elected to pur.
sue will depend the question of a
crisis in the near future
