St. Petersburg. November 4-Count witte is getting his hands on the helm and the Russian ship of state is beginning to right itself Gradually the disorder that followed the promulgation of the constitution giving the people liberty is being put down.
 The premier has met the immense dif- faculties confronting him and the pres sure of the demands of the different classes of society with the energy and sincerity that are more and more giving him the support of the moderate lib- erals who have been frightened by the carnival of disorder into which the coun- try has been plunged and the inordinate demands of the proletariat under the leadership of the reds" and social dem ocrats.
 Freedom of the press and general am- nesty except for crime have followed each other but Count Witte has stead lastly refused to yield to the demand for the organization of a national guard, on the ground that it would be equivalent to arming the social democrats to fight and destroy the whole government be- tween midnight and morning.

All Praise Witte.

Without exception the newspapers ex- press their appreciation of the enormous task Count Witte has assumed and while some of them doubt his success. in view of the obstacles he will encounter both from below and above, there Is no attempt to question the sincerity of his purpose, nor his great ability; and the promptness with which he proclaimed freedom of the press and amnesty and the retire ment of M Pobiedinosteff, chief procura- tor of the holy synod; M. Glasoff. minis ter of education, and Governor General Kliegls of the government of Kieff Is ap- plauded as evidence of the kind of stuff he is made of.
 To deputation which was lead to him today Count Witte said 1t was impossible to relieve the troops from the cities un- til order was restored and he asked the deputation to have confidence in the in- tentions of himself and the government.
 One of the newspapers after careful investigation gives the number of victims in St. Petersburg during the disorders as six killed and 31 wounded
 Wltte to Take Portfolio.
 There Is now a probability that coun. Witte will take the portfolio of minister of finance.
 M. BoulIgan's resignation has been &C., cepted and MT. Witte has offered the portfolio of minister to Prince Urusoff. former governor of Tvor. M. Shipoff former president of the Moscow zemstvo will succeed Chas. von Schwanebach as minister of agriculture. M Rukhelof. chief assistant in the department of ma rine. will probably become head of the new department of trade and commerce Into which Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch's department will be merged. General Kosstch commander fn-chief in the government of Kazan, probably will replace Lieutenant General Rudiger as minister of war.

 of the Navy.
DRIVE TAKEN 10 FORT MEYER

Washington, November 4.-Rear Ad-
 miral Prince Louis was the guest of the
 American army today. Tonight he was
 the guest at a formal state dinner in the
 state dining room of the White House.
 where the President had a distinguished company to meet Britain's admiral prince.
 The health of the sovereign relative of
 the prince, King Edward, was proposed
 by the President.
 Although Prince Louis was still the
 center of brilliant assemblage at the
 British embassy ball when midnight of
 Friday arrived, he breakfasted about g
 this morning at the embassy, and prompt
 ly at 10 o'clock started for a ride around
 the city in a sixty-horse power motor
 with Minister Durand and Admiral Evans.
 They viewed the congressional hbrary'
 the Washington monument and other
 places of interest. the prince expressing
 himself as enthusiastic about the beauty of the American capital.
 Returning to the embassy about noon
 Prince Louis spent some time chatting
 with Sir Mortimer Durand. At l o'clock
 the prince was the guest of Lieutenant General Chaffee, chief of staff. at stag luncheon. The guests numbered sixty. Secretary Root Introduced. When cigars had been lighted Lieuten- ant General Chaffee introduced Secretary of State Root, who in a few graceful words proposed the healths of the Presl- dent and King. As the first health was drunk the band played N"The Star Span gled Banner" The American national ' anthem was merged into 'God Save the King as the health of King Edward was drunk. Admiral Prince Louis then asked permission to say a word.
 Next to their loyalty to their king, the prince said, every British ofncer cherishes the President of the United States. The King first, but the President next"
 They had, he said. peculiar affection and esteem for Theodore Roosevelt. not the President alone, but particularly Tor Theodore Roosevelt, the man. Wherever the English language was spoken, this sentiment prevailed The prince then thanked the American officers of the army and navy for the hospitality ana courtesy which he and his officers were receiving.

70 PUSH CONSTRUCTION
Friends Of Big Drainage Ditch
HOPE to Avoid The Laws De.
lay BY a Petition

Nonparell, June IL:
Jubilant over winning their
long fight for the establishment
of the Pottawattamie and Har-
rison county ditch system, the
friends of that project now
propose to secure it's construc-
tion without waiting for court
decisions to determine the val
idity of the new drainage law
enacted by the general assem-
bly, of 1904. A movement is on
foot to induce property owners
favorable to the bitches to
waive their right of appeal
from the payment of taxes,
even though the law should be
declared void. If they will
agree to this, the money for
the work will be assured and a
contract with some construc-
ton company can be entered
into.
In order to perfect such 8
working agreement, it will be
necessary to obtain the consent
of 80 to 80 per cent of the land
owners who will be taxed for
the ditch, and it is considered
doubtful whether this can be
done. The contracts, if made.
will be drawn the same as those
which have been made in the
Nor a-Harr;son county ditch
un lertaking. They will Re
come ineffective should the
drainage law be upheld, as tt at
would require all owners bene-
fitted to pay their proportion of
the taxes.

The movement of great
quantities of construction ma
terial into Casper, Wyo., for
the extension of the North
western, is continuing unabat-
ed. Dozens and dozens of car
loads of ties, iron, grading cut
fits and other supplies are
stacked up in Casper and the
line is filled with trains, hurry
ing the remainder of the ma
terial there. The material is
being FASTENED into the locality
because, it is said, the North
western has its weather eye
out on the operations of the
Milwaukee in that section of
the country. 1t is rumored that
the Milwaukee, in addition to
the proposed Chamberlain ex-
tension, has a feeler out for
the new road now being con-
structed between Rapid City
and Mystic. The acquisition
of this road would put the
Milwaukee into the coal fields
in Eastern Wyoming. The adj
vent Of the Milwaukee into this
section would cut into the
Northwestern's nice business
i'm the Black Hills, and the lat
ter is anxious to hold the trade
by building the extension from
Casper to Lander and Therm-
opolis.
