Mccall Recalled.

President John A. Mccall was again
called. Mr.. Mccall offered in evidence a
resolution adopted by the board of trus-
tees Of the New York Life Insurance
company on Oct. Is last 1t stated that
the board had learned from the teSti-
mOny before the legislative investigating
committee that executive officers of the
company had expended large sums an
nually to oppose legislation believed to
be against the interests of the policy
holders, and that for these sums no
vouchers nor receipts were issued and
that the payments were never brought
before the board of trustees. Ii was
therefore resolved by the board that such
opposition 10 the legislation should he
open and public so as to place them above
criticism, and that regular vouchers and
receipts should be issued for such pay
ments, setting forth in detail the services
rendered. Moreover, a special committee
% the board should report 10 the board
whatever was done each month in this
respect, and a public report should be
made 10 the state department setting
forth what legislation, in what states had
been opposed. whose services had been
retained, and what had been performed
by them. Mr. Mccall said there was
no intention of making this resolution
retroactive and that nothing was said
about getting account for the mcPy pald

Appeal to Peasants.

THE government has decided to
make an appeal 10 the peasants. With
the Workmen of the cities completely
estranged. the government and Iiber-
ais refusing TO aid the authorities,
there is nothing left but to turn 10 the
peasants, and the EMPEROR has APP
proved a ukase informing them that
measures for the ameliora ton of Their
condition Will receive immediate con-
sifera ton, The discomfort of the peas
ants and the danger of the spread of
the aRrarian movement largely con-
trihuted 20 the governments decision.
The council of the empire this after
noon dec 'ded TO remit a portion of the
land payments due next year by the
peasants in the provinces affected by
the famine. The peasants since their
enanciDation in 1851 have been paying
ipstallments on lends allotted them
The council also decided TO remit en-
tirely the payments for 1906 due on
land heled by peasants killed during
the war. The amount RENTED totals
Sl3 00G 600.
Disqu'eting reports of the progress of
the agra rian disorders were received
today. The military authorities are
rushing troops and machine guns into
the affected areas. Inha bitants of
Karsk and Tuganskv are orsanizing
for the protection of their respective
towns The village of Balanda IN the
government OF Saratoff has been fired
by peasants.

Whites Position.

Count White favored and impressed
on his majesty the adVisability of re-
storing Finland's constitution and re-
verse the policy of the classification of
the grand duchy. but to surrender au-
tonomy TO Poland after all the old
grievances of the Poles had been re-
dressed and they had been placed upon
an equality with Russians, the count
considered would only be a prelude to
an attempt 10 set UP the ancient king
dom as a separate entity and would
involve ultimately either the dismem-
berment of the empire or the necessity
for bloody suppression such as marked
the revolutions OF 1881 and 1868. 1t was
regarded as wise, therefore, to take
the bull by the horns and let the Poles
understand that the separate move
ment would not be tolerated. and that
until they came to their senses further
efforts to place in operation the reform
manifesto would be suspended.

Raises a Suspicion.

Under ordinary circumstances, in
view Of past experiences with Poland,
the Russian people would be apt TO
sympathiZe with coercive measure for
the suppression of the nationalist move
ment in Poland, but in the present
state of public opinion coercion is more
likely to create q bad impression, es-
peciaily as many liberals Immediately
greeted the appearance of the ukase
with charges of bad faith, declaring
had not abdicated, asserting that if It
could suspend the reform manifesto in
Poland for an indefinite term by i'm
periai ukase the aut0cracy could like
wise suspend il throughout the whole of
Russia. But ii is officially pointed out
that il would be impossible to attempt
TO place in operation the liberties be-
slowed while Poland shows a DISPOSE
tion not to accept them in good faith.
While Poland continues TO mut!nOusly
insist upon autonomy nothing can be
done.
IF the government should allow the
Poles TO continue their present agita-
ton said a prominent official, they
would inevitably force the government
TO suppress the movement with the
bayOnet, which We desire to avoid. If
We yielded TO the Poles demand for
autonomy we would next have to sur
render the Baltic provinces and then
perhaps the Caucasus. and later all the
alien races, which would so decentrai-
ize the power of the empire that its
disintegration would be inevitable"

II is generally believed here that
both Germany and Austria have given
Russia assurances of support, but of
what nature cannot be learned. Wheth-
or or not this is true, both Germany
ana Austria naturally are interested,
each of them having a Polish problem
on their hands. in not raising the Polish
hopes of a restoration of the ancient
kingdom OF Poland and the present
movement in Poland certainly will not
receive the sympathy of the govern
ments beyond the western border.

= Home Journal.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Claiming that IL
has the original of a testimonial which
the Ladies' Home Journal recently de-
clared to be fraudulent, the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing company, makers
of widely-known proprietary medi-
cine, has brought suit in the superior
court of Chicago for $3.50, 1000 damages.
The Curtis Publishing company, Of Phil
adelphia, is named as defendant. The
testimonial in question is one which the
Ladies' Home Journal declared that
Congressman George H. White, Of South
Carolina, never gave, backing up its
statement by an undated letter from
Mr.. White. In it's declaration the Pc
runa company denies that the testimo-
nial is fraudulent, and asserts 1t has two
original letters from Congressman
White, which were given in good faith
as testimonials to the merit of the rem
edy. Mr.. Whites denial, the Peruna
company claims, was secured through
misunderstanding. This is the second
suit for large damages filed against the
Ladies' Home Journal since it began it's
crusade against patent medicines"

Chicago, Sept. 30.--The packers in

Of the Sherman antitrust law Suffered
another sweeping defeat Friday when
Judge Humphrey, in the United States
district court, sustained the demurrer
of United States District Attorney
Morrison to the plea In abatement filed
some time ago by the packers. The
blow was made more crushing BY the
statement Of Judge Humphrey that the
government demurrer was sustained
on broad general grounds and without
taking into consideration the technical
points raised by District Attorney Nor
rison. The indicted men had asked,
through their counsel, that the indict-
ments voted against them be declared
void, advancing various technical rea-
sons. This plea was thrown out of
court.
The packers must now stand tria:
