CAR SURRENDERS::
WITTE HAS CHARGE

St. Petersburg Oct. 30.-6:O5 p. m.-The
autocracy Of the Romanoffs and the old
order Of things cease to exist in Russia. En-
Y peror Nicholas has surrendered and Count
Witte comes into power as minister-president
with an imperial mandate which will enable
him to convert the farcical national assembly
into real legislative body elected by greatly
extended suffrage and to confer upon the peo-
|: pie fundamental civil liberties including free .
speech.
These welcome tidings reached st. Peters
; burg shortly before o'clock this evening.
Count Witte had spent the day with the en-
peror at Peterhof, going over the final draft OF
the manifesto to which he insisted that certain
minor notifications be made, and before TAX
! ing the train for St. Petersburg he telephoned
! to friend that the emperor had affixed his sig
nature and that the imperial mandate compris-
ing the conditions upon which he had agreed
to accept Office was in his pocket
These include freedom of the press, the right
of assembly and the immunity Of the person,
including the right Of habeas corpus.
An official announcement will be issued this
evening appointing Count Witte prime min
lister with special authority to coordinate and
unity the powers of the different branches Of
the army.
Civil liberties are granted to the Russian
people and to the national assembly is given
! legislative power, while the suffrage is enlarg
ed
Telegraphic communication with st. Peters
burg appears to be improving. A dispatch re-
ceved by the Wolff bureau was only an hour
and half in transmission. The German mails
are being sent to Russia by way of Stockholm.
Travellers from Berlin are able to reach st.
Petersburg in sixty hours going by way of Stet-
tin, Sassinz, Stockholm and Hangoe, and thence
, to viborg and St. Petersburg
Count Witte insisted on cabinet on the
British model with selected premier respon-
sble to the imperial douma, or parliament
while the emperor chung to the appointment of
the members of the cabinet on the American
plan by the emperor as chief of state.
The state department has instructed Charge
dAfares Eddy in case Of emergency to give
American citizens asylum at the embassy and
if necessary to charter steamer.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff is reassuring
the ambassadors by formally guaranteeing the
safety of foreign residents. He announces that
the government is prepared to afford them mill
tary protection in ST. Petersburg and elsewhere
in the event of disorders.

learn the reason of the failure of his
constituent TO retain under the new
dispensation. Mr.. Lennon left the
building without getting definite infor-
nation, but expressed the hope that
the commission would make a place for
Armstrong.
Politicians at the capitol declared
that Armstrong; failure to be appoint
ed to permanent berth as guide in
the new building was due to Mr.. Len

bill over the governors veto. The big
Minneapolis representative mot only
voted against the Republican machine,
but made a strong speech in favor of
sustaining the governors veto. 1t was
said that the commission had resolved
to make no terms with legislators who
had failed to vote to perpetuate the

FEAR FOREST FIRES
State Fire Warden and Depu.
ties Keep Close Watch

Standing pine in northern Minnesota
is In more danger. of destruction by
nre at this season of this year than
for many years. Gen. c. C. Andrews.
chief fire warden for the state, has
received number of letters from his
deputies, scattered through the pine
region north Of Duluth, telling him that
there are frequent fires, and the virgin
forests are in imminent danger from
ravage by forest fires.
There have been a number of small
fires which have been reported to the
fire warden. and Gen. Andrews is con-
fident that there have been many 9TH
ers he has not heard of which have
done more or less injury to the forest
area.
Warnings have been posted through
the region, calling attention to severe
penalties for starting fires in the
woods. The unusually dry spring, with
light SHOWS during the winter months,
is responsible for the unusual condition
in the pineries in the spring of the
wear.

BUTTER is HIGHER
Poor Pasturage Boosts the
Price I'm the East

Thirty-three cents pound for but
ter in the New York wholesale market
means prosperity for the Minnesota
creamery man. E. K. Slater, state
dairy and food commissioner. who re-
turned yesterday from a tour of the
southern Minnesota counties, reports
unprecedented activity in the creamery
industry in that part of the state. The
commissioner says that in his expert
ence as a practical creamery man he
has not seen the buttetmakers enjoy
ing such boom prices and good times
as at present.
He assigns the present fancy prices
for the product to the poor pasturage
all over the central northern states
Lack of spring rains has resulted in a
great reduction in the butter product,
but the high prices obtained has given
the creamery business a great impetus
Commissioner Slater warns the farm
ers that there will be a slump in the
price of butter with the revival of pas
turage.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food

There are no fairer set OF men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession OF the fact.
A case in point is that Of an eminent
practitioner. one of the good old school.
who lives in Texas. His plain, un-
vanished tale needs no dressing up:
'I had always had an intense preju-
dice, which 1 can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence.
never read a line of the many ads of
Grape Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest
little boys 1 ever saw, l ate my first
dish of Grape-Nuts food for supper
with my little grandsons. / became
exceedingly fond of 1T, and have eaten
a package of ii every week since, and
find it a delicious. refreshing and
strengthening food. leaving no i'll ef-
fects whatever. causing no eructations
with which 1 was formerly much
troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea,
ror distress of stomach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since / began the use OF Grape-Nuts
than 1 have been for ten years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea and
indigestion" Name given by Postum

SEEKERS OF BfRTHS
KEEP GOVERNOR BUSY
Friends Boom Candidates for
Three Jobs Created by
Legislature

- q ~ - 49,
With warn. sun calling him to
come out and enjoy the day, Gov.
johnson spent yesterday in his rooms
in the new state capitol. He was re-
ceiving delegations supporting different
men for the three places created by the
legislature and which the governor has
authority to appoint.
1t was one of the most strenuous days
spent by the governor since his induc-
ton into office. The delegations were
larger and their claims more vigorously
presented than during the busy times
that followed his taking the governors s
chair.
The places to be filled are state fire
marshal, hotel inspector and bee in
spector. There are rival candidates for
each or the places, with three promi-
nent candidates for the hotel inspector
ship. Added to these applicants and
their friends were a number of delega-
tions appearing in behalf of men who
want to be named on the two state
boards of grain appeals, the vacancies
on which will be filled prior 10 Aug. l.
No Salary for Inspector
1t has been discovered that the state
hotel inspector will have difficulty un-
der the law creating the office to get
his salary of 81, 200 and expenses of IS
a day. The law gives him this COM
pensation, but makes no provision for
the state treasurer to pay the amounts.
A system of fees is provided for, but
these will scarcely yield sufficient reve-
nue. to pay the salary and per diem.
For hotels of less than 80 rooms the
inspection fee is so cents; from 80 to 60
rooms, it is 81; from so to 100 rooms,
$1.5O; from 100 to 200 rooms, ii is 50,
and for hotels of more than 200 rooms
SO may be collected by the inspector
When railroad fare is paid, it is esti-
mated that the inspector will have lit
tie left to apply on his salary.
Must Wait for Salary
How to live on the promise of money
available next April is a problem that
Will have to be met and overcome by
the governors appointee as state fire
marshal. Gov. Johnson said yesterday
that. this had given him no uneasiness
He had no fear that he would be una
BILE to find a man to accept the $500
berth, even though the prospect for i'm
mediate payment of the salary accom-
panying the Office is not bright. The
fire marshal is to- be paid by a one
fourth of l per cent tax on fire insur-
ance premiums. The law says that the
first payment of this percentage tax
shall be made April of each year. AS
the law did not become effective until
April Is of this year, no provision is
made for the payment of the fire mar
shars salary until April, 1906. 1t is ex-
pected that the governor will name the
fire marshal within the next few days
and that the appointee will be able to
finance the Office until next April
when he will receive his back salary in
one payment by the state treasurer.

The new state capitol will be closed
today for the first Sunday in three
months.

on Sundays to the public soon after

strength of a resolution passed by the

the capitol was opened, ii attracted
hundreds of men and women by the in
terror beauties of the new building. OF
late the visitors have been largely a
class of young people who sought the
capitol as a meeting place or for n
playground for children. The original
purpose of the Sunday opening had
been lost sight of, and the capitol COM
mission, yesterday declared that the
capitol would remain closed on Sun
days, beginning today. ssv---

CITY TO ADVERTISE
FOR PRINTING BIDS

A special meeting of the common
council has been called for Monday
evening for the purpose of instructing
the city clerk to advertise for bids for
publishing the council proceedings.

The council will also at that time
take up the matter of settlement with
Somers & Co. for damage done to
engine house No. 2 through part of the
wall falling into an excavation made
by Somers e Co. on Wacouta street.
II is understood that Somers & Co.

the damage sustained by the engine
house it is thought that the offer will
be accepted.
