fessor Koyaleysky's amendment Great
ing committee of Zemstvoists to ad-
wise the Premier pending convention
of the Douma. The committee init
mated full responsibility for the peace
OF the nation and the rights of the peo-
pie must rest ON Count Whites ambi-
tious shoulders until he could shift it
to those of the Douma members, who
would take care of it satisfactorily
to the real friends of Russia.
At the same time the committee
showed it did not purpose letting
Prince Troubetskoy nor q hundred like
him make fools of the Zemstvoists, for
when he tried to have the significant
words precious conquest of the peo-
pie" in the reference to the imperial
manifesto o. October 30 stricken out
in favor of precious acquisition" his
palpable trucking to the Car was re-
jected summarily. Little attention was
paid to the dismal warning OF Mr.. Ka-
rauloff, one-time reyoIutionist who
was d Siberian exile for two dozen
years that by making the Douma a
constituent assembly the Zemstvoists
would s'precipitate struggle with the
forces Of anarchy and plunge the coun-
try into sea of bloodp It was re-
marked sarcastically that the re-
formed revolutionist had looked be-
tween prison bars so long he couldn't
adjust his perspective to the new Or
der Of things.

Condition for Their Support.
SEVERE BLOW TO COUNT WITTE

Sriots Fought to Block Sense OF The
Congress, But Failed.
Moscow, Russia Defiance of Count
Whites underhand opposition TO the
win Of the masses while pretending to
be their friend was voiced by the
zemstyo Congress when it demanded
that a constitution be framed by the
first Douma, and that the members of
that body be elected directly by all the
people as the double price OF the sup
port Which in the same resolution it
promised to the / lperial Government.
In other words, without specifically at
tacking the Premier, it exposed the
shallowness Of his deceptive policy by
insisting on the very points he most
opposed, making them IN effect the
conditions Of its cooperation with him
to save the tottering throne of the Ro-
manoffs. Russia must have a consti-
tutional monarchy, and that constitu-
tion must be drawn by the first popu-
lar assembly. Such is the uItimatnm
Of the Zemstvoists That action is re-
galded as one OF the worst blows
White has received in the whole Of his
career.
Prince Eugene Troubetskoy, Count
Heyden and other professional patriots
playing at popular government, fought
stubbornly to block the sense of the
Congress in respect of the resolution
making the foregoing demands. The
practical men among the Zemstvoists
seemed to realize that in debating with
these noblemen they were dealing with
dilettanti who, il permitted to do so,
would fritter away this grand opportu-
nifty. to assert the might Of the nation
against that of the Emperor.
Reasonable respect was shown to the
Prince and the Count while they aired
their opinions, but when it was seen
they were trying not only to sugar
the pill for Nicholas but to turn the
medicine into its own antidote, the sub
tie courtiers of imperial favor under
the gulse of constitutional principles
were promptly voted down. The lead
ers of the congress went further AT 1.-THE
suggestion of the Executive Commit
tee they inserted a provision subject
ing all Ministers save those of the
court to the responsibility Of the Cab
met. Mr. Mulikoff explained that il
the Ministers of War Navy and For
eign Affairs could run amuck through
the interests Of the people by declaring
war or peace or martial law at will the
constitution would become a farce.

ST Petersburg. Russia -Constefna-
ton was discernible in Count Whites
manner when he learned the Zemst-
voists shook off his check rein and
went straight at national reform along
the paths he had piled high with obsta-
Giles. The Premier, who promises
peace and plenty to the people while
his agents III Warsaw and elsewhere
order their Cossacks to shoot down pa
triots without mercy, manifestly was
taken aback by the insurrection Of
the congress. He was amazed to learn
that his pet aversion in the Executive
Committees program, the direct ballot,
had been passed by two-thirds ma.
jority over the heads of his henchmen
and lobbyist.
Attempts We're made to spread here
the impression that the Premier per-
sonally favored both a constitution
and universal direct suffrage but APP
parently that did not deceive the in
telligent. 1t is known the best Witte
would do for the people. il he had his
way, would be to give a direct ballot
to jewellers in large cities and make all
other Russians vote for electors to
choose their Representatives in the

cession to the popular demand by dis
missing the Governors Of Yaroslav,

ESTIMATE OF POSTOFF ICE
Postmaster-General cortelycu Makes
His Annual Report
Accounts Asked OF the Treasury Depart.
ment 70 Rum Our Postal Service
For the Year.

Washington D. Postmaster g en-
eral Cortelyou recently completed and
forwarded TO the Secretary OF the
Treasury the estimates for the POST
office Department for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1907 They show a re-
duction Of expenses wherever it is be-
lieved it will not impair the service
but provision is made for development
of postal facilities to meet the growing
needs Of all sections of the country
The amount asked for salaries in the
department proper is 1.461, $50. an APP
parent increase Of $6l, 900 over the cur
rent appropriation; but as $5S, 300 Of
this is simply a transfer from other
appropriations, the net increase is only
$4,000 The estimate submitted for
next year is $44 900 less than the esti-
mate submitted one year ago. The
clerical force of the department, there
fore, will remain practically as it now
is during the next fiscal year.
The estimates for the postal service
at large-the field service ggregate
$193, 100000 an increase over last
years appropriation of about $12 0O0,-
600. This increase represents the nor
nal growth Of the service. based upon
what the postal authorities regard as
the most careful and conservative es-
Inmates. Each succeeding year sees a
large increase in the business Of the
department The principal items in
the increase are the rural delivery SER
vice, railway mail service, compensa-
ton to postmasters and their clerks,
and the compensation of letter carriers.
For the maintenance of the rural de-
livery service, and its proper extern
sion. more than 500, 100000 will be re-
quired
The estimates for the railway mail
service and railway mail Transports
ton call for an increase of about So
100000 over the current appropriation.
TO provide for the compensation OF
postmasters and CLERKS in postoffices
an increase Of nearly $1,000, 600 will
be necessary for the coming year: and
for the compensation of city letter car
riers an increase of more than 5000 GOO
will be needed.
That the extension of the pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown
by the fact that the estimate carries
1922, 900 more than the current appro-
priation.
A number Of other and comparative
ly minor increases have been asked
for in order to allow for the natural
expansion of the service. and to meet
the constant demand for improved
postal facilities.
Curtailment has been recommended
wherever possible, and many decreases
are shown.

From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 6,
1861

From the Chicago Journal Nov. g.,
l905.)
When Commissioner Garfield went to
the Chicago packers and asked permits
slon3to inspect their books, the c0ndi-
ton was made that no information he
might obtain therefrom would be used
in court proceedings against them.
Mr.. GARFIELD gave this pledge, It is
stated, and the packers allowed him to
study their business In all its details
from the inside.
Now, 1t is announced, the results of
his study have been turned over to tho
Government department of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution Of the
packers
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
Governments. 1t is not his good faith,
but the Governments, that is in ques-
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens of
Chicago. If it can be proved that they
are guilty Of engaging ina conspiracy
In restraint of trade, they ought to be
punished.
But their guilt, if they are guilty,
must be fairly proved They must be
given square deal.
xSince the Government has elevated
Nits vision to such height as to over
look the nest OF defiant criminal trusts
almost within the shadow Of the CAPT
tol dome, in order to fasten itself a
thousand miles away upon Chicago,
the Government and the President
Rannot be too careful to avoid suspi-
Aion that they are more anxious to
prosecute Western offenders than Of
tenders in the East,
Some of the methods already en-
ploytd in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the Government enters mans
house and takes his private papers,
when it drags the wives of packing
house employees into court and puts
them under heavy bonds. it is hardly
dignified, not TO cay honorable, nor
even respectable.
