UkAsE CHANGES NOTHING
Russian Minister of Interior Sends
Circular to Governors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1S.-The
minister of the interior, Sviatopolk-
Mirsky, has sent circular to the gov
ernors of the provinces in which con-
ferences have been called to consider
reform peasant laws, pointing out that
the idea that the imperial ukase of
December 25 has radically changed
the principles of the laws is due to
misapprehension.
The ukase, proceeds the circular, con-
firms anew the necessity for incessantly
striving to attain the goal marked out
therein. The decree of January II,
1904 provided for revision of the
peasant laws on the basis Of the re-
forms of 1861 and ordered that due con-
sideration be given to the inviolability
of communal property while at the
same time facilitating the removal Of
individual peasants to their respective
communities without the appropriation
of their holdings therein.
These principles are fully preserved
by the ukase of December %, which
ordered a revision of the peasant laws
with the object of bringing them in
unison with the general legislation of
the empire, enabling the peasantry to
fully enjoy their rights as free coun-
trymen in accordance with the spirit Of
the law of 1861.
The circular adds that the ukase by
no means precludes the preservation of
the old status of the peasant which had
been envolved from ancient times.
The circular calls attention to the
fact that the ukase of December 25
specially dwelt on the urgent necessity
for uniformity in the judicial proceed
ure in order to secure the legal equal
ity of all classes and assure the neces-
sary Importance of the judicial au-
thorities, and proceeds:
This, however, must not be regarded
as absolute predetermination of the
question of the abolition of the peasant
courts, the present isolation of which
may be remedied and their independ-
ence assured. The imperial decree of
December 25 does not make change Of
any kind"
In conclusion the circular says:
1.-THE considerations above set forth
by the minister of the interior have
been approved by the emperor. The
minister therefore, directs the govern
ors to take all measures to assure that
the work of the provincial conferences
is continued and brought to a con-
clusion with the utmost rapidity, and
that the members of the conferences
are granted power to freely state their
opinions, so that full expression may
be given to the true views of those
conversant with the neds Of the peas
antry."

LEADERS PLANNING
RATE LEGISLATION
President and Cabinet Approve Of the
Bill, Which Is to Be Pushed
Ahead

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s-It is as
serted today with more than ordinary
show Of conviction that an agreement
is being made between the leaders OF
the senate and of the house of repre-
sentatives in accordance with which
railroad rate legislation will be enacted
into law at the present session Of con-
gress.
The basis Of the legislation will be
the measure drawn by Col. Hepburn,
chairman of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee of the house.
The bill already has been considered
by the president, Attorney General
Moody, Secretaries Taft and Morton,
and by members Of both the house of
representatives. and the senate. 1t
does not meet the approval of all who
have examined 1t, but 1t is believed to
be good foundation for measure
which probably can be enacted.
The probability is that the Hepburn
bill will be passed by the house before
February 1.

sured at London for Voyage
By Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 1S.--Much business
was done at Lloyds today on vessels
bound for the Far East with cargoes
consigned to belligerent ports. Forty
eight steamers are now on their way
to the extreme Orient, number OF
which are going to Vladivostok, and
were reinsured at so guineas per cent.
The British steamers Powderham and
Oakley, both of which sailed from
Barry, the former November IL and the
latter on January /, whose owners have
already had two vessels captured, were
reinsured at rs guineas per cent each.
Another transaction which was re-
garded as significant was the insurance
of sixteen Hamburg American line ves-
sells covering war risks only for the
voyage from port in the United King
dom to port not east of Colombo,
Ceylon, and return, and at an exceed
ingly low premium.
1t is understood that each vessel will
carry coal. The transaction created
much talk on the floor of Lloyds, where
it was confidently believed that the
Hamburg-American vessels will act as
feeders for Admiral Rojestvensky's
squadron in the event Of it's being or
dered to return to European waters.

UNIVERSITIES FINANCES
Senator Carter Introduces Resolution
Providing for Investigation

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S.-The finan-
cial system now employed at the state
university will be thoroughly investi-
gated If a resolution presented in the
senate this morning by Carter of Los
Angeles prevails. The resolution,
which provides for the appointment of
a committee of five members of the
upper house to do the investigating,
was referred to the finance committee
for a recommendation.
Carter's resolution points out the fact
that the state university is supported
by public money and endowments by
private individuals. and that bills for
large appropriations have been pre-
sented to the legislature for passage
The resolution then refers to the de-
falcation of Secretary W. A. McKow-
en-, who was able to abscond with be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, on account of
the loose financial system in voge at
the university.
Should the committee be appointed it
will be authorized to swear witnesses,
and send for persons, books and papers
and to incur such expense as may
make it necessary to go to Berkeley
and San Francisco to examine the Of
ficers of the university.

King Leopold will leave a fortune Of
$40, 900, 900, most of which will go to the
Belgian people for works of public util-

Early in his reign Car Nicholas
caught a bad head cold and asked a
humble subject how this annoying all
ment could be cured. The advice given
was that the imperial nose should be
anointed at night with tallow from a
common candle. Years rolled on and
one day by a mere accident the car had
the chance of looking through a book
of household expenditures and was
amazed to find he had been charged for
a pound of tallow candles every night
since.
New that the German crown prince
has been married, court gossips in Eu-
rope are considering who is likely to be
the bride of Prince Eitel, the kaiser's
second son. The general view is that
1t will be Princess Eva of ~Battenberg,
with whom he was much smitten during
a recent visit to England. Princess Eva
is quite a pretty girl, just past II years
old, who was brought up in the simplest
manner possible. 1t is expected that
she will inherit largely from her god
mother, ex-Empress Eugene.
The duke of Connaught-Prince Ar.
thur of Great Britain-who has just en-

During King Alfonso's visit to London

phal or otherwise, helped his popularity
with the British public, showing as they
did that his 19-year-old majesty is a
real boy and not altogether a royal milk
sop. He rides reckless races with young
officers, rings up the guard Unexpectedly
from mere motives CT mischief, and gen.
orally plays the same pranks as other
lads of his age. Among his own subjects

CHAPTER XvII.-coxrIxuED.

At nine O'Clock, as the last scattering
shots are fired out TO the northwest,
where some of Stuart's fellows have
stumbled on the Hoosier pickets in the
darkness, the division general sends
an aide with brief note to Ricketts,,
telling him of the battle, and saying
he means to hold the ground despite
the fact that prisoners report old
Stonewall $4,000 strong. He sends
other staff officers in search of Nc
Dowell, his corps commander, with
similar report and the. request that
Ricketts, be ordered to close In and
support him. McDowell's own engineer
officer is with him. a deeply interested
witness, coming up with Hatch's bri-
gade, which hurriedly recalled, had
faced about and marched eagerly back,
hoping to be of use, but reaching the
field only as darkness settled on the
line. So the engineer stays to hear
the reports and views of the various
commanders before going himself in
search of his chief, stays long enough
TO give his opinion that the division
must move off the pike to the right or
suffer demolition at dawn, and this,
too, Is the opinion Of Hatch and Glib
bon, sitting with their division COM
mander and it is urgently given by both.
There is nothing for it then, urge the
brigadiers, but slip off southeastward
in hopes of support, and Fred Ben
ton, riding out TO the left front with
orders to bring in the pickets, finds
those venturesome Hoosiers crawling
forward on hands and knees, beyond
the original line.
