st. Petersburg, March An the
Alexandria palace at Tsarskoe- -Selo,
surrounded by the ministers and a few
members of the court and with the en-
press at his side, Emperor Nicholas on
Friday signed a rescript containing
his decree to give elected representa-
tives of the people an opportunity to
express their views in the preparation
Of the laws of the empire.
This is the autocracy's final re-
sponse to the agitation in favor of
participation by the people in govern
ment which has brought Russia in the
last few months almost to the brink of
revolution. It's import must not be
misunderstood For the present, at
least, it involves no change in the
regime of autocracy and it means nei-
ther a constitution nor national as
sembly. AT the same time it recog-
nizes the principle of the peoples
right to be heard regarding laws under
which they must live. Whatever the
result may be, the document is sure to
mark an epoch in Russian history as
important if not more important than
the signing of the emancipation mani
feSto, the anniversary of which it was
intended to signalize.
Emperor Nicholas manifesto reit-
Grating Russia's aspirations in the far

government pledge Itself to release the
5000 workmen who had been arrested

The eggs, as general rule, find ready market in Northern mar kets. principally New York city, while the chickens, butter, etc, are shipped to points in Florida. EouisianS and South Alabama.

LEDBETTER IN CHARGE
WILL COMMAND MILITIA AT THE
 DECATUR TRIAL.
A Provisional Company, Recruited From Birmingham Infantry, Will Protect the Alleged Murdercrs
 of Miss Belle BIOOdvorth.

Governor Jelks yesterday morning ordered Major C. L. Ledberter of the Birmingham battalion, 3rd regiment, Alabama National Guard. to fill in the command of Company G. Birmingham, which was ordered Thursday to Deca- tur to afford protection of the two ne- groes who are to go on trial next week on charges of murdering Miss Bella BluoGworth. Th's supplementary command was issued because it Is pos sible that not enough men of one com pany can secure leaves of absence from their busiress.
 The work of forming the company will make it provisional ir character. The men will be recruited from the two Birmingham companies, G and K, Captains Robert Gregory and L. C. Bro VII commanding, respectively, and Company A, Woodlawn, Captain F. c. Evans commanding. There is no doubt but that the minimum limit of forty men prescribed by the Governor can be recruited out of these commands.
 The company will leave Birmingham Monday morning early, accompanying the negroes who have been imprison ed in the Jefferson County jail for several days The trial of one of the defend ants is expected to be entered into al- most immediately upon arrival There is no strong suspicion of violence or interference with the court proceedings and the military aid provided by the Governor Is purely a precautionary measure.
 The last military guard of Alabama placed over judicial proceedings was on the occasion of the trial of the alleged lynchers of Horace Naples in Hunts vile about a year ago. This was also a provisional company from the Bir- ngsagham battalion ana was under c6fnmand of Captain Lucien c. Brown. He performed praiseworthy service. It is probable that some of the men who went to Huntsville will go to Decatur
