GREETED WITH CHEERS

Moscow. Nov. 22-At the end of
four days debate the executive com
mittee OF the zemstvo congress
brought in the following resolution in
favor of supporting the government,
the reading OF which was greeted with
tremendous applause:
considering that the imperial
manifesto satisfied all the demands
voiced since the zemstvo congress of
a year ago and that the liberties ac-
corded by the manifesto are indispen-
sable to the tranquilizatiOn of the
country, the congress declares itself
in complete solidarity with this con-
stitutiOnal basis. The responsibility Tor
the realization of the programme rests
upon the cabinet. The congress is
convinced that the cabinet can count
on the support of the great majority
of the zemstvos and municipalities 50
long as it follows the path for the ae-
complishment of the liberties prom
ised by the manifesto, but every devi-
alton viii encounter decisive opposi-
tiou.

means of guaranteeing the authority

the country and the support Of the
peoples representatives are the imme-

frage IN elections to the douma. the

probation Of the emperor Of a constf-

Fear of the Peasants.
The excitement among the peasants
in the central and southeastern pro
vinces is spreading rapidly and it is
feared that it VIII be impossible to sup
press the movement which promises to
develop into general uprising, bring
ing devastation and untold horror to
the whole country The revoluti0nists
among the peasants are industriousiy
spreading the story that the imperial
reform manifesto really decreed q de
vision of the lands. but that the mobiles.
tntelligencia and Jews distorted it and
took all the freedom for themselves and
the peasants therefore have the right to
possess themselves of the lands, which
the emperor granted them.
The peasant congress will assemble
here tomorrow. It is largely under the
dominance of men from the villages.
who during residence in the cities have
become imbued with socialistic ideas.
These men are preaching the expulsion
Of the landlords and the division of the
estates and are advocating the refusal
Of the peasants to pay taxes until a con
stitueut assembly is called. Some of
the radical mem bers OF the zemstyo
congress are in negotiation with leading
members of the peasant congress.

It was by the merest chance that
Mr.. Brigham was able to secure Clarke
for his engagements are booked until
the first of next May. He is appear

booked to be one of the attractions at
the opening of the new Majestic
vaudeville theater there. This is
a two million structure and for its
opening next week the Orpheum cir
cult which controls it, had prepared
one of the strongest bills that had ever
been presented at a Chicago vaude-
vile house, and Harry Corson Clarke
was to head the bill.
1t was found impossible to open this
house next week, and Manager Brig
ham. hearing of this, began securing
the country to locate some of the at
fractions that were to appear there.
He found Clarke at Omaha and at
once opened negotiations with him
which were brought to a successful
conclusion late this afternoon.
One of the best vaudeville bills that
had ever been put on in Topeka had
been arranged by Mr. Brigham for the
show next week. All of the eight acts
he had secured are good enough for
top liners in any show, but with the
addition of Clarke and his company
the bill for the show will be as fine a
one as any that is presented at the big
try, and a good deal better than a
good many of these shows.

are unusually clever. They will APP

LLOYD CAN'T GET CARS.
Thinks That Santa Fe Is Trying to
Discipline Him.

H NJ Lloyd an elevator man doing
business at Sterling, has a grievance
against the Santa Fe because it refuses
to furnish him cars. He says that the
agent at Sterling, Mr.. Anderson, has fat
~ refused to give him any more cars,
saying that he had orders to take this
course.
Mr. Lloyd thinks that the railroad COM
pany is trying to discipline him because
he deposited money under the reciprocal
denlurraee law and compelled the com
pany to furnish him cars. NOW he wants
to ship grain outside the state and they
refused to accept his money as a de-
post or give him any satisfaction what
ever.
Mr.. Lloyd has taken the matter up with
