ing from its Berlin correspondent:
The correspondent of the Berllner
Tageblatt has just obtained the fol-
lowing statement from Count Tolstoi
regarding the situation
Il do not regard the situation as
dangerous. revolution such as the
French one can never happen in Rus
sia. Such proceedings do not corres-
pond to the character of the Russian
nation. ! do not consider the peasant
risings so serious as reDorted. The
peasants have become more venture
some, but when the Cossacks appear
they will desist There is only a small
party of revolutionary agitators who
desire disorder
Russia possesses eighty to ninety
per cent agrarian population, and
therefore the workmen in a few large
towns do not come into consideration
but the peasants are the decisive fac
tor l am not in accord with the gov
ernment and can only say that up to
this time the present government has
been upheld by force, and In the flu
ture 1t must rely on benevolence and
love"
The Lokal Anzelger reports from
Warsaw that the government has pro.
claimed a state OF siege. The police
are threatening to strike unless their
grievances are redressed.

Washington, Dec. Am appropria-

toward the construction of the Pana-
ma canal. The amount was compro-
mise between the SIG, 500. OO0H carried
in the bill under consideration and an
estimate of something over $4,000, 900
recommended by Mr.. Williams, demo-
cratic leader, to carry on the work un-
til the middle of January. Mr. Hep
burn, In charge of the bill, suggested
that something over $11 100000 would
carry on the work until March
There was no Intention manifest to
delay the work, the only argument for
cutting down the original estimate be-
ing that closer scrutiny might be had
of the estimate The bill was amend
ed In accordance. with suggestions by
Mr.. Mann, directing the president to
require annual reports from canal
construction officers, covering all de-
tails of the work; requiring such em-
ployes to give Congress any informa
ton II may desire, and restricting all
expenditures to money appropriated
by congress and to that received by
operation of the property of the Pana-
not amended, and it contained. be-
sides the appropriation provision re-
commencing a tax disability against
the proposed bonds to be issued for the
construction of the canal, thus plac-
ing the bonds on a footing with other
government bonds, as available for .se-
curity for national bank circulation
and to reimburse the treasury for the
money appropriated In the bill.
Bond Provision Attacked.
The bond provision in the bill was a
point Of attack today. Mr. williams
offered several unsuccessful amend-
ments, all seeking to abandon the pol
icy of issuing bonds for the canal work
on the ground that there Is sufficient
available funds in the treasury to
meet all needed demands for the cam
al work. Mr.. Overstreet did not sue
ceed in amending the bill so that the
$10,000.000 already expended in canal
construction might be refunded to the
treasury from the sale of the canal
bonds. The bond policy Of the two
parties occasioned the feature of the
debate and resulted in limiting poiti-
cal discussions
Secretary Taft, accompanied by the
auditor and purchasing agent of the
canal commission, came to the capitol
and remained available to give any in
formation that might be asked. for on
