TO BE PARTLY ELECTIVE.
Plans for Composition of Upper House
 of Assembly.


 of Assembly.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 13.--The second session of Count Witte's cabinet was held this afternoon. One of the mat ters under consideration was the pro- ject for the placing of the Council of the empire, the upper House of the Ma tional Assembly, to certain extent on an elective basis. which Count Witte insisted upon before accepting the Pre- miership, and which was one of the principal causes of the long delay In ts- suing the imperial manifesto of octo- ber 30.
 The project, as elaborated, provides for the representation of land owners. Orthodox, nom Conformists and nom Christian clergy and Boerse Commit tees.
 Ten representatives each are to be chosen for five years by owners of over 5000 acres, the Orthodox and the non- -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 mem bership of the Council of the empire. which hitherto has been entirely ap- pointive. will be chosen on an elective basis. The orthodox clergy will be named by the Holy Synod.

Friday, the second day Of the G. A. r.
encampment was one of the busiest, al
though the visitors from Boston passed
a greater portion Of the day outside the
city. Early in the morning, the visit
ors We're about inspecting the points Of
interest about the town. AT 8 o'clock,
four special cars arrived. and the Bos-
tonians, accompanied by the Woburn
Band and the members of the Gardiner
organizations went out TO Island park
and Winthrop, by the way of Augusta.
Quite a number of the folks stopped
over at Island park where shore din
ner was served in the hotel. but many
more continued out to Mlranacook and
enjoyed sail on the beautiful lake
The party returned to Gardiner at 4
o'clock i'll the afternoon, ard headed by
the band marched up Water street to
the hotel and to G. A. r. hall where the
gathering dispersed.
In the evening there We're practically
two separate affairs, the reception in c.
A. r. hall and the band concert on the
common. At the former, the attendance
was very large and every available inch
of space was occupied by the visitors and
the HtllDtTS OIL lllC NIiIulIltE u SdlllZtl-
tons There were several addresses

quent speech OF welcome and felicitation.

fine concert on the common. from S until

Under the leadership OF Director Thomas
Marrinon, the band, which comprises 81
solo performers, rendered many pleasing
selections. one of the most popular being
hunt song, and the players were forced
to respond TO many encOreS.
The reception was not of lengthy dura-
ton, and 10 o'clock found most of the
visitors quartered in their hotels for the
night. The members Of the band have
had the use of the Johnson Opera house
as a dormitory. and. last night, the
boys had n little celebration of their

the best of the kind that ever visited this
city, and it work has gone a great way
toward making the affair the great sue

afternoon. on the steamer Ransom e.
