following the message, Gov La Fol-
lette declared that certain fixed obliga-
lions bound him to continue as govern
or, as laws involving millions of dol
lars We're being challenged in the
courts, and legislation vital to the state
was pending. He could not offer more
than qualified acceptance. The close
of the session found the litigation I'M
decided, he said, and the new laws I'M
tried. Adverse decisions in the circuit
court might call promptly for curative
legislation, and the administration of
new laws might disclose defects requir-
ing Immediate remedies. Every rea-
son made it his plain duty to wait the
circuit court decision and the contest
over the new laws. Time entirely JUS

tude OF the railroads in the contesting

lature were all required to round the

he will give up the governorsnip of the

To Probe University Affairs.

Suspicion of corruption in state uni.

house, when Assemblyman Cleary pre-
scented resolution providing that the
governor appoint legislative commit
tee of eight members to investigate
business methods and affairs of the in
stitution. The committee is to report to
the governor November 1, 1906. The

THE TURMOIL IN RUSSIA.

Russian troops at Hardin, Manchu-
ria, rebeled and slew officers, and the
conditions in the interior of Russia are
such that the military commanders have
notified the landlords they can expect
no further protection. The telegraphers'
strike is near a collapse, both sides are
preparing for a struggle in January.
Premier de White has not resigned, but
the liberals demand for his retirement
is increasing
The car is believed to be practically
prisoner in the palace of TsarskOe Selo.
His hold on the Baltic provinces is gone
and soldiers go over in bands to the
revolutionists, who are in control. A
daring plot to seize the imperial treas
ury by armed force was betrayed to the
st. Petersburg police. Father Gapon,
leader of workmen on fatal Red Sum-
day, urges followers to break away from
revolutionists and is accused of having
been bought by the government.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says:
Father Gapon has been condemned to
death by tribunal named by the cen
trail revolutionary committee. Two
emissaries were named to carry out
the sentence. Treachery to the cause
of the people is the charge made
against Father Gapon.
Lieut.. Gen. Sakharon, former Rus
sian minister of war, was assassinated
by a woman. The tragedy alarms the
emperor, showing a new turn of revo-
lutionary activity.
Fresh outbreaks in Russia and the
arrest of the leader of the workmen
make probable the precipitation of a
general strike and bring near the final
struggle between the government and
the proletariat.
