RUSSIA NEARING
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
I Moscow Paper Declares the Au-
thorities Have Decided to
Yield.
In st. Petersburg It Is Believed
Witte Is Only Making Show
of Opposition. * 49,.
Journal Special Service.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Times pub
s'Moscow. Nov. 22.-The Russkyia
Viedomosti announces that the authorl-
ties have, decided to, grant universal,
equal and secret suffrage, 1t is not
certain, however, whether the elections
will be direct or indirect.'
St. Petersburg, Nov. 23.-The reports
published in the London newspapers. to
the effect that Count Witte is suffering
! from q stroke of paralysis. or is other
Premier Witte was in communicating
during the night and this morning with
NJ Guchkoff. and his other ieutenants
at Moscow. in efforts to compromise
tion adopted yesterday by the zemstvo
congress. He has no hope that the pol,
icy recommended by the congress will
be completely satisfactory to the, gov
ernment, as the constitutional demo,
Gratis have. the bit in their teeth and M
their former idol, NJ. Petrunkevitch.
Nevertheless, the declaration in favor
of universal suffrage and the transfor-
nation of the national assembly into d
constitutional assembly will grow less
distasteful to Count Witte in the course
of time.
Many liberals believe the premier is
for it's effect upon the emperor and
court, but it is privately known that he
has been convinced for sometime that
the elaboration of constitution con-
tanning the charter of Russian liberties
to which the emperor will swear ale
glance is the safest, if not the only egress
= from the present situation.
1t would at the same time buttress
the government against a possible at
tempt at reaction on one hand and for
: tify for the fight against the revolution
ary forces on the other.
But he regards it as vital that the
moderate conservative majority should
draft the constitution.
While ready to agree, therefore, to
universal suffrage, the premier would
never consent to direct suffrage for the
ignorant peasantry Of the villages OF
the country. His scheme is for indirect
elections thru one set of electors in the
country, and direct elections in the
, cities.

TWO REASONS FOR
CALLING SESSION
Member of Wisconsin Political
Faction Believes La Toilette
Will Find New Issues.

Milwaukee, Nov. 23.-One of the wis
est "halfbreeds in the state, whose
opinion was asked what the governor s
purposes were in calling an extra ses-
sion, said:
cit is one of two things: First, it
may be that the governor sees that the
administration republicans are divided
nominated and consequently he would
either have to support some other man
or lose his hold on Wisconsin politics.
Would Unite Factions.
s'He therefore had decided to run for
a fourth term himself, thus uniting the
factions and getting control. The ses-
sion would give him new issues on
which to conduct his campaign!
'His other purpose may be that an
extra session would give him leverage
with which to get the administration
forces together. At the session he
hopes to bring them together either
Of his own selection. If he accom-
plished this, he could 60 to Washington
and still be in control here. If he can
not, then he will follow the course out
lined in the first instance, that is, ho
will run again for governor.'
Prestige for Presidential Boom.
Some politicians believe that the gov
ernor's purpose is to line up the admin
istration forces for Lenroot, and that
he, La Toilette, has no intention of Civ
ing up the senatorship. Many Of them,
however, now believe that the governor
has decided to remain here and seek a
fourth term. This would give him the
prestige necessary to advance his pres
| idential boom.
Many believe the legislature will be
in session at least month. Others
think it will be longer. Democrats and
stalwarts and some Of the "half
breeds' do not look with pleasure on
the call They feel that they spent at
| Madison all the time they could afford
last winter and this spring. There may
be some difficulty in getting quorum

These rules, and many others, are con.

Second Day Of Trial.
The second day of the courtmartial
proceedings was not nearly as eventfuI
as the first day, nor was so much ground

The principal witness called was Sur
geon E. P. Stone Of the naval academy
staff, who was the first; medical officer
to see Branch after he had received his
injuries, and who had much connection
with the case from that point to his
death. The examination Of DR.. Stone
covered wide range, the prosecution

roommate, left off at the close, of yes

primarily due to oedema of the yes

closed by the operation, and no opera
tion was performed, as Branch s. par
ents would not consent.
The cross-examination Of DR.. Stone
by Lieutenant Commander Robinson

searching, and several members Of tht
court also asked questions ON differen

humor of the gunners. Sometimes a shell would
fall into the city in the dead of night when the
children had been hushed to sleep and even the
poorest had found some fire about which they
might huddle.
On this bitter January day when Edmund Orlopp
rode out toward the Pont du Jour, 1t would have
appeared that the German gunners had oversight
themselves, for he was almost up to the ramparts
before the first shell came kissing over the house
tops and fell with crash the Place Italie be-

tenement near the ramparts followed by a

about his face and pressed on doggedly toward the
ramparts and the outposts.

All, these brave Prussians of whom the great Bis
marck boosted so loudly! They would sing: Now
thank all God!' about their camp-fires
tonight, and the child would live to hear
the story of the day, and in manhood he would
remember.
There had been few in the streets until this time
for the day broke bitterly cold and fine snow fell
relentlessly Nearer to the gates Orlopp met scat
tered groups of Moblots and National Guards, who
greeted him forlornly and complained loudly of
their condition. The plan Trochu," that great
plan which to cleave the German hosts and
drive wedge of bayonets between them, particu-

When Orlopp asked them for news of General
Ordo, young Lieutenant answered derisively:

to this perversion of vision a real and
vital danger of surprise added something try the
nerves even of the coolest:

sounds became more audible Orlopp did not an

and so deceptive. When he did make movement

drag him headlong toward the embankment.
"Leap" he cried. "They are Prussians"

and the spiked helmets of the Prussan infantry1nen
became plainly visible At the same instant harsh
voice rang out in command and the rattle of mus
kets echoed ominously
Over you gol" cried Orlopp, meek or nothing!
It's life death, mani"
He put his horse at the low rail by the roadside
and the clever brute, half sliding half falling, went
down the ernbankment and stood quivering with
fear at the foot of it. From the road above them
came the sound of many voices together as the
troopers indicated this place that for the ambush
Then their rifles blazed a muff1ed report and
flames of crimson fire cut the fog like burning
bayonets
Orlopp, in his turn, called out to the Lieutenant
to follow him; but getting no answer he drove his
horse, this way that, in his search for the
lad. Had they killed him? Had he flede Dis
daining his safety, he cried aloud This way

swered him, and the bullets sang above his head
with hum OF giant bees. He did not move
far from the place, however; but shouted
louder: "This way, Lieutenant, I am waiting for
you"
There strange chances dealing out life or
death upon the battlefield, and this January
morning was witness to one of them. Orlopp be-
heved that nothing but miracle could save him
from the Prussians; while, their part, the Prus-
slams believed that the French had posted an ambush
at the foot of the embankment So a prudent
Captain, having fired fifty rounds into the fog
plumed himself upon his cleverness in drawing off
his men and going to headquarters to make re-
port. Ten minutes later the gloom began to lift,
and the first objects which Orlopp perceived were
the eyes of the missing Lieutenant laughing at him
from the shelter of the ditch.
