as near the emperor's heart as those of
all his majesty's true subjects; that
only recently, of his own free will, the
emperor commanded that the question
OF workTnen's insurance be taken up,
with the object of securing them
against disablement or sickness; that
this measure does not exhaust his
majesty's anxiety for the wellbeing of
the working classes, forssat the same
time the emperor sent an order in
structlng the ministry of finance to
draft law shortening the hours of Ia
Dor and for the elaboration of such
measures as will legalize workmen's
discussions of their needs
The proclamation, which it is an
nounced was issued by the emperor's
order, in it's preamble recounts the
origin of recent events, and declares
that evil disposed persons used the
Work1nen as their tools, leading them
aStray by false and impossible prom
ises. 1t says:
''The result of this criminal agitation
has been breaches of the peace, in
volving the inevitable intervention of
armed forces. These evil wishers have
not been restrained even by the diff
culties in which the fatherland is in
volved, in time of trying war; while
the workmen, their blind tools, have
disregarded the fact that demands
were being made in their name which
had nothing in common with their
needs, besides forgetting that the gov
eminent always has shown and ever
shows itself considerate of their needs
and is now ready to listen attentively
to their just desires and satisfy them
wherever possible. To this end the
government requires above all the re-
storation Of order and the return of
workmen to work, because in times of
disturbance the governments well in
tentioned efforts for satisfaction of the
workmen's demands, however just, is
out of the question:

HUNGARY HAS HEAT

Elections

VIENNA, Jan. 25.-The parliament
tary elections which will begin in Hun
gary tomorrow are expected to take
place amid scenes of rioting and blood
shed unequaled in any previous cam
paign. A state of terrorism is sure to
prevail throughout the country. Pre-
mier Tisza is determined to make an
end of parliamentary obstruction, and
the opposition parties are equally re-
solved to defeat the premier's purpose.
The question of revising the rules of
parliamentary procedure is the only
one put before the electorate.
The campaign already has cost seven
lives, the latest victim being Prince

shot in fight. Special trainloads of
troops have been sent to Hungary from

number of 413 will be elected. Polling
in $40 districts will be held tomorrow
and the remainder in the next two or
three days. The general result of the
elections is certain to be in favor of

Now, famed by the strong north
wind, it leaped high in the air and
threatened as it had not threatened be-
fore, the destruction of the corner
block. The scene of operations for the
firemen was quickly shifted to the rear.
Unable, in the narrow alley, to use
their trucks and ladders, the firemen
fought from the roofs of adjacent
buildings with many strings Of hose.
Flames Break Out Again
The hard nights work seemed about
ended to those on the roofs. and those
who were still watching the front of the
building when suddenly with a rush
and roar like the coming of a cyclone
through dense woodland, the fame
repulsed in the rear, shot back again
to the front. But this time it was to
the four-story building owned by the
Bannon company.
Again the tired firemen changed their
base of operations. Dragging their
lines OF hose, now encoated in ice and
bursted in many places, back to the
front OF the building they took up the
light against their reSiStleSs enemy

WILL CASH CHECKS
FOR CITY LABORERS
Suggestion to Do Away With Practice
of Discounting

Paymaster John B. Irvine has begun
a reform in the street and sewer de-
partment with the end of doing away
with the business of discounting pay
checks of city laborers.
Members of this branch of city work
ers are at times forced by present ne
cessity to convert their pay checks
which fall due fortnightly into cash at
a usurious discount. And it is thought
that this evil will be done away by ar
ranging with the city banks to cash
these checks with a deduction Of but
25 cents. Out of the cashing of these
orders one individual made during the
past year the generous bonus of $4,000
by 10 per cent discounts.

SPEAKS TO The CAR
Taurida Zemstvo Voices the
National Feeling


SIMFEROPOL, Jan. 25.-The zem-
stvo of Taurida, at its first meeting of
the year, today unanimously adopted
the following address to Emperor Mich
olas:
Sire: The Taurida zemstvo con-
graduates your majesty as well as the
empress on the birth of an heir to the
throne. This event occurred in a terri
BILE year of national grief, year of
cruel and bloody war, a year of bitter
internal disorder. Let peace dawn on
Russia and her frontiers. That is the
best7Wish Russian subjects can expect
at the cradle of your son.
Your decree of Dec 25 held out to
the nation hopes of international peace
In the future, which everywhere is de-
pendent upon the preservation and
maintenance of the law and equal
rights of citizens, on freedom of con-
science and religion, freedom of speech
and the press; freedom of association
and public meeting.
Sire, we are strongly convinced that
the fulfillment of all your great inten-
lions for their inviolability can be as
sured only by the participation of elect
ed representatives of the whole nation
in the legislative power. We sincerely
believe that in the union of the power
of the state with that of the people can
be found the only pledge for the COM
plete development of the productive
forces of the country. If you summon
representatives of the nation to take
part in legislation, finance and admin
istratiyes control and fulfllment Of the
law and the intentions of your imperial
majesty, you will make Russia power
full and invincible from without and
f1ourishing within her borders in the
light of right and truth
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25.-Four-
teen members of the zemstvo of Sim
brisk Con the Volga, los miles south
southwest of Kazan) have adopted the
following resolutions:
During our whole lives we have
been forced to observe silence in all
our new ideas. The authorities see
red specters threatening to destroy the
foundation of the state. For forty
years we have said, All is well. We
had been so accustomed to this course
that to say otherwise would have been
political crime. This attitude on the
part of the people debased to slavery
has led Russia to crisis through
which she cannot safely be brought
by palliatives or half measures.

threatened with terrible danger,
not alone by the foreign enemy

THE development of Russia has
been artifcially arrested and all her
institutions stricken unto death and
cannot be brought back to life. The
very depressed condition of the coun-
try also constitutes a danger from
which there is no escape. The zems-
two representatives had an opportunity
of freely and honorably speaking their
minds on the subject of abuses, but
the bureaucrats took measures to pre-
vent them. The president of the GEMS
two proposed an amendent to this res
olution, but our duty to the father
land and the throne obliged us to re-
fuse to vote the address in the form
he suggested. 1t is crime to shut
our eyes to the condition of the coun-
try. Freely elected representatives
alone can liberate Russia. These rep
resentatives would point to Russia and
