CZAR'S MEANING
IS MADE CLEAR

ST. PETERSBURG, April 25.-'My
will regarding the convocation of rep
resentatives of the people is unswerv-
ing and the Minister of the Interior
is making every effort for it's speedy
realization"
Emperor Nicholas, receiving in audi
ence at Tsarskoe-Selo on Sunday the
Marshal of the nobility of Kostroma, a
Government of middle Russia, directed
that the foregoing message be COM
municated to the nobility of KCstroma.
The message evidently was designed to
be published to quiet the fears of those
who are impatient at the delays and
who have grown skeptical of the full
fillment of the promises contained in
the imperial rescript.
1t is very significant that the En-
peror used the words "Convocation of
representatives of the people" thus 60
ing beyond the expression employed in
the rescript and setting at rest all
doubt as to his meaning.
A rumor is circulated here to the ef-
feet that Emperor Nicholas will mark
Easter by the proclamation Of general
amnesty for political and religious
prisoners now confined in the fort
resses or prisons of European Russia
or who are in exile.
Fears that the Easter holidays, which
extend over thirteen days. will be the
occasion for bloody riots are mani
tested everywhere and the population
Is becoming decidedly panicky over the
rumors which are circulating Of mur
der, pillage and terrorism by mobs in
various parts Of the country. Even
churches, according to the stories told,
are not exempt.
SOSNOVICE, Russian Poland. April
25.-Great disorders are expected here
at Easter time. The town is full OF
troops Russian officials are receiving
letters threatening them with massacre
and the workmen have been deluged
with proclamations signed by the Po-
lish revolutionary committee. warning
them not to heed those who advise
them to kill the Jews. but instead to
kill all such persons. The prcclama-
tions are directed against the police,
who are charged with attempting q
diversion against the Jews

POPULAR BODY
! FOR TRAESVAAL

LONDON, April 25.-The draft Of the
new Transvaal Constitution was issued
to-day. 1t provides for a progressive
Assembly or Volksraad, consisting of
the Lieutenant Governor, six to nine
official members and thirty to thirty
five elected members. Every burgher
of the late South African republic is
entitled to vote for members of the
first Volksraad. The same right is
granted to all white males of British
birth occupying premises at an annual
rental of not less than $50 or having
capital to the value of $500, unless con-
victed of treason since May 81. 1902.

removed where a free pardon has been
granted.
commission will divide the Trans,
vaal into electoral districts The de-
bates in the Assembly will be carried
on in English, but the president of the
Volksraad may permit a member to
use the Dutch language. Financial
measures must be recommended to the
Assembly by the Governor and no part
of the revenue may be apportioned
without his authority
In a communication to Lieutenant
Governor Tawley, accompanying the
letters patent providing for the
changes, Colonial Secretary Littelton
says the time is not yet ripe to grant
full self government. The matter in
wolves party government and this in
the Transvaal will become more prac-
ticable when the two races have acted
longer together under equal rights and
when bitter memories have become
softened by time. In regard to the
colored population not being directly
represented in the Volksraad, any bill
subjecting them to special disability or
restriction must have the sanction Of
the home Government before 1t becomes
operative Secretary Littelton explains
that similar constitutional changes can
not be extended to the Orange River
colony Immediately, because the in
dustrial and economic conditions there
do not so urgently demand them
