VIII the Gar ConvOke National
Assembly?

According to a telegram from st.
Petersburg the Car, after prolonged
and agitated sitting of the council sum-
moned to Tsarskoe-Selo, and sharing the
repugnance of most Of his advisers to the
immediate conclusion of humilating
peace, accepted the dangerous alterna-
tive of convoking a zemski sober, or ma
tional assembly, to which shall be referred
the question whether the war shall be
prosecuted. -osu II so with what means.
1t is said tina, only with great reluctance
did NICHOLAS H. consent to take this
step, and as at the hour when we write
the decree is not known to have been
published it may be yet suppressed.
II is easy TO understand why the war
party. which, Notwithstanding the re-
} monstrances of the Minister of War and
the Minister of Marine, seconded by
Mr., WITTE and even the Grand Duke
VLADIMIR, was able to muster large ma
jority, opposes immediate negotiations
for peace. The men who have exposed
Russia to an unbroken series Of disgrace
full reverses naturally shrink from an act
which would be tantamount to confess
sion of their incapacity, and the Car
himself cannot be expected to wish to
figure in history as the first ROMANoFF

and he would like to shift the RESPONSE
bility for the ignominious petition to the
Russian people as n whole. Thus they
would hope to merge their individual
dlshonor in the national shame.
There was also the question of WAYS
and means. Mr. WI1TE doubtless con-
WINGED the intelligent members of the
council held at Tsarskoe-Selo that if the
Government should continue TO rely on
Foreign loans Tor the prosecution of the
war it would steer straight toward bank
ruptcy. On the other hand, he could not
deny that if pride should impel the Rus
sian people to declare that they never
would renounce their foothold on the
Pacific, aVd should excite such an out
burst OF enthusiasm as MARIA THERESA
in her extremity evoked from Hunga-
rian magnates, there would be no diff
Guilty about funds. Under the circum-
stanoes most of the council, more alive
TO their own immediate interests than to
the ultimate fate of the autocratic system
ana the dynasty, seem TO have p,lrsued
the very course recommended in 1850 by
the advisers of LOUIS XVI. as a means NJ

TRENTON, March :, 1905.-An act
to repeal the State census act Of 1888
and to provide for the taking Of q State
census this year and each ten years here
after was introduced in the Senate yes
terday BY Senator Hutehinson of this
city. 1t is directed that the census be
taken uiiaer the direction Of the Secre-
tar5 of State
The bill provides that there shall be
a supervisor for each municipality, or
section and under him viii be special
enumerators to take the names and other
data. The supervisor is to be paid one
cent for each name, and the pay of the
enumerators will be two cents per name
BY the provisions of the bill, city,
township or borough clerks may be Sc
lected as supervisors, or private indi-
viduals may be named The supervisors
viii be required to provide clerk hire
for the proper tabulation Of the census
in their respective districts, paying for
it out Of their enumeration. It is esti-
mated that in this city this would cost
about $500.

district, which shall contain, as nearly
as possible, 1000 population. The emu
meratoas win commence work June 1,

The present law provides that the local
assessors shall, each decade, beginning
with 1885, make a report Of the number
of people on their respective sections
Under this arrangement The census
was taken in connection with the work
of assessment and was not satisfactory,
being more or less unreliable.

Government has been making efforts to

from the race. The nomination, It is

the party, whose stamping ground is the
Twelfth Ward. Mckay, it is said, has
the backing of Luke CLARK, while Blohm
has as his principal supporter Street
