Puts Federation in False Light.

Boston, October 12.-In an interview to- day Rev. Dr. Samuel E.

DR.. Murray did right in
filing the complaint last

outlaws who proposed to
camp within reach Of town

was Mr.. Murray's purpose
to have the arrest made and
the offenders brought in
from near st. Lawrence
Saturday night. This was
the understanding that had
been made by him with the
states attorney and justice.
The city, state, and com
planning witness were for
getting the people to dis
tant scenes where possibly
they might sin no more. At
ter they had been brought
back and the bulk Of the
costs already made the state
could not with propriety
refuse to prosecute. This
would have shown coward

have camped for the sum

after they were back was to
prosecute vigorously which
was done. Those with lit

painting the craft from stem to stern. The
white dress that was on the boat when she
arrived here from the yard of the builders

the dirt so plainly. The hull and waist of
the boat is being painted gray color with
a tint of green In 1t. pretty color and one

UPPER HOUSE IN RUSSIA.
Cabinets Project for the Election Of
Part Of Members.

The second session OF Count Whites new
cabinet was held in St Petersburg yester-
day afternoon. One of the matters under
consideration was the project for placing
the council of the empire. the upper house
Of the national assembly. to a certain ex-
tent on an elective basis, which Count
Witte insisted upon before accepting the
premiership, and which was one OF the prin-
cipal causes of the long delay in issuing
the imperial manifesto of October 30. The
project, as elaborated, provides for the rep
resenta ton of land owners, orthodox. nom
conformist and nom Christian clergy and
boerse committees. Ten representatives, each
are to be chosen for five years by owners or
over 5000 acres, the orthodox and the nom
conformist clergy, and six by the boerse
committees. The number to be chosen by
the non-Christian clergy has not yet been
decided.
Thus about one-quarter of the member
ship of the council of the empire, which
hitherto has been entirely appontive, Will
be chosen on an elective basis. The ortho-
dox clergy will be named by the holy
synod.
