 PROJECT IS PUBLISHED. l St Petersburg, Nov 7.-The project
 Tor a sweeping extension of the suf-
 rage in elections to the national as-
 semDiy, promised by the emperor, Is
 published.
 After the first days of confusion fol
 lowing the issuance of the manifesto
 giving constitution 70 Russia and
 nominating Count Witte premier, the
 iatters new government appears to be
 getting fairly under way.
 The cabinet with which Count
 Witte will undertake the difficult task
 of guiding the nation on it's new
 course of constitutiOnalism and pre-
 venting the radical and agitatory eIe-
 ments from driving it on the rocks of
 revolution, Is now beginning to take
 form. The names of the two Shipofrs.
 one of them. Ivan, having been Count Witte's former assistant in fbe minis try or finance and his associate at
 Portsmouth, N. H., and the other.
 Dmitri. the Moscow zemstvoist. who was president of the first zemstvo con gress, are semi-authoritatlyel an- nounced as his selections respectively
 for minister of finance and comptroller general. NJ. Nemecilaief. president of the Southeastern railroad. who as .he
 Associated Press Is informed Is re- commended by the railroad men to succeed Prince Hilkoff, Is now on his way to St Petersburg 70 consider the tender of the portfolio of ways and communfca tions. With the nomina- ton of Prince Alexis Obolensky as procurator general of the holy synod already gazetted this provides four of the eight ministerial posts at the dis position of the premier Prince Uru- soff, until recently governor of Tyer, may also be called to a cabinet posi- ton yet undetermined. For the two portfolios of education and justise Count Witte has been disappointed ip obtaining the men he originally de sired. but he has other men In view.
 Though Dmitrl Shipoff Is no longer in sympathy with the zemstvo major ity. which in the interval of the first and second congress progressed so far beyond his Pan-Slavist ideas that he failed to secure election as member of the bureau, he will rally to the sup port of the new cabinet a strong fac ton of conservative zemstvolsts who are also followers of Pan-Slavism, whose doctrine is the development of a Russian government on Russian lines. Dmftri Shipoff Is q man of con servative ideas, who like the late Prince Troubetskoy dared to make a stand against the sweeping current which carried away most of the zemst. yoists.
 The selection of NJ. Nemechaieff i> man of affairs w1ho has had long ex- perience in railroed administration and as shown by the recommendation of the railroad delegation has the sympathy of the workmen. The for mer ministers. except four who are not subject to the jurisdiction of the pre- mier, are slated for dismissal. Count WItte is not submitting much of his new program to the old committee of minister's, and the project for the ex- tension of the suffrage. though an- nounced and approved by the commit l tee of ministers. was drafted under Count wffte's direction after consul | tation with a number of liberals ln- cluding Professor Kusminkaravief, | who resigned his chair at the acad. | emy of military law on account of his liberal opinions. and NJ. Lazare6sky, | one of the editors of the liberal legal weekly Pravo. The new measure | grants representation to the workmen | on the same basis as peasants. one I representative for each 25O.0o0. and extends the suffrage to the great class of "intellectuals" possessing college degrees who lave been the heart and soul of the reform movement
 Voters win also under the new reSu- latious include tenants paying aa an- uusl rent of s24O. petty traders except tbs lowest class. holders 0f high school diplomas and officials of St Petersburg and Moscow with salaries Of no less than s600.
