Washington, Dec. 26.-AS a reward
for defending the postoffice at Emma,
N. c., four years ago, against four
burglars, President Roosevelt has
waived civil service regulations, upon
the recommendation of Postmaster
General Cortelyou, and S. H. Alexand-

ment. Not only has Alexander been
promoted, but to accentuate the honor,
an official statement was issued today
which gives a full account Of the deed.
The attempted robbery took place on
the night of February s, 1901, and the
official account says After the store,
In which the postoffice at Emma is To-
Gated, was closed for the night, Alex
ander, who had been sleeping in a
room adjoining heard a knock on the
door and inquired what was wanted.
He was told some one living near
wanted his mail. and he unbarred the
door. Two masked men entered, COW

manded him to give UP his own re-
volver and open the fire proof safe.
While one of the burglars, Frank john
son, who had laid his revolver on the
desk near the safe, was stopping In the
act of looting the safe, and during the
moment when the other burglar, Ben
Foster, had his head turned, Alexand-
ser seized the idle revolver and shot the
latter near the heart. He attempted to
shoot Johnson, also, but failed to do
so, as the revolver snapped, and a
desperate struggle followed. Foster,
although seriously wounded, pursued
Alexander and shot him In the abdom-.
zen, the bullet coming out at the back.
Alexander. seeing Foster was about to
shoot at him again, swung johnson
around so the bullet struck JanAson's

came to Alexander's relief. His brav-
cry is more accumulated when 1t Is
known that Alexander is small of stat
ute probably not more than five feet
six inches tall and weighs less than
1875 pounds. 1t would seem that he
must have been possessed of almost
superhuman strength to oust the two
desperadoes from the postoffice. The
two accomplices who were waiting on
the outside carried away the wounded
burglars to house, in which they
were arrested the same night.
The two burglars above mentioned.
together with two accomplices, after
trial were given the extreme penalty
of the law, which, for the offense COM
mitted in the state of North Carolina Is
death. Afterwards the sentence was
commuted in the case of two OF the
burglars, to life imprisonment. The
two were hanged on February 26. 1902.

Extension of Suffrage Proclaimed To.
day Does Not Make 1t Universal.
st. Petersburg. Dec. 26.--The new
electoral law was gazetted today and
was accompanied by a statement ex-
planning that in view of the fact that
even some western countries do not
possess universal suffrage. the cabinet
could not assume the responsibility OF
decreeing It, The ultimate decision
must be made by the national assem- :
bly, itself. The election list will be pub
Hshed forthwith the date of the elec-
tons will then he announced, and as
soon as the government receives noti-
fication that half Of the members are
elected, the national assembly Will be
co,,voked. The extension of suffrage
proclaimed today applies especially to
cities, where it is made almost uni
versal
Besides workmen in the factories
and mills who are especially provided
for, suffrage will include every owner
of real estate paying taxes. persons
conducting enterprises, like shopkeep-
ers paying licenses; persons paying
iodging tax or occupying separate
lodgings and persons in the govern
miant service, including railroad men.
All the limit Of rent paid by the lodg-
ing holders as voting qualification Is
removed. The indirect system Of two
degrees OF voters in both cities and
country is retained. A new feature of
the law is that workrnen, instead OF
being allowed specified number OF
class representatives, have to take
their chances In the electoral colleges
with other classes. Moreover, instead
OF the cities having separate repre-
sentatives the electoral colleges Will be
composed Of provinces. The workmen
will choose an elector for every 10000
men. The result is shown In the case
of the province Of st. Petersburg
where the electoral college will con-
tain fourteen peasant electors, eighteen
landlords, fifteen city landlords and
twenty four worknen. BY this meth
od while the workmens electors are
the largest class. they will only be
able to elect representatives in com-
bination, The new law 10 a great ex-
tension Of the law OF August. 1t con-
tains elements which certainly will APP
peal to conservative opinion, but with
a slogan Of universal. suffrage" ringint;
IN the popular ear it will prove great
disappointment and is certain to fur-
nish the proletariat organiza lions Wfol,
