the part of the authorities and commenced
a discussion of the proposed constitution.

dence of Prince Dolgorukoff. The first reso-
luton proposed protested agaist the viola

bitrariness of the authorities
A delegate from Tver, Central Russia,

Later an amended resolution was pre-
sented and passed. 1t likewise protests
against the constant violation of the pri-
yate and social rights of Russian citizens by
administrative officialdom and calls upon
all local officials to protect the sufferers
from the present state of affairs and to as
sist in preserving the troops from illegal
and arbitrary acts Of the authorities.
The scheme for a constitution as elabo-
rated by committee of the congress was
next discussed and it's details criticised by
the delegates.
The chief points raised were the omis-
sion OF adequate proportionate representa-
ton and the non-recognition of female suf-
frage.

passed the first reading of the project as
submitted and copies will now be dis
tributed for examination and discussion.

NEW YORK, July 20.-John f. Stevens,
the newly appointed chief engineer of the
Panama canal sailed today for Panama on
the steamship Mexico. Chairman Shonts
Of the canal commission accompanied Mr..
Stevens. Mr.. Stevens will assume control
of operations Immediately on arriving at
the isthmus. Neither Mr.. Shonts nor Mr..
Stevens has visited the isthmus before and
both said they would prefer to wait until
their return before talking of conditions
down there. They told something of the
plans. however, and the work they propose
to do at once to assure the success Of the
canal building. Mr.. Shonts said he had
heard many complaints regarding condi-
tions on the isthmus, but had paid no at
tention to them. Mr.. shonts continued:
There are men down there who have a
just complaint, and that is that they have
nothing to do but work. They have no
amusements and no friends. Men 1900 miles
from home and under these conditions get
! homesick, of course. What they want Is
amusement, healthy games and outdoor
exercise. In order to remedy this we will
establish a separate department and we
expect to establish club houses across the
isthmus.
Mr.. Stevens and saw the president and
we talked over the canal plans in the gen.
eral way. OF course, the kind of canal to
be built is vet to be decided upon. I should
say that it would take ten or twelve years
to construct a sea-level canal and about
| five years to build a lock canal
Mr.. Shonts said that arrangements have
been made to carry on the work without
interruption whatever should Mr.. Stevens
resign as chief engineer.
Mr.. Stevens said that he was going to the
canal zone with an open mind and would
make the best of conditions as he found
them.
Speaking Of the possibility Of Chinese
labor being employed. he said: 81 have
tried the Chinese in this country and found

the needed funds were borrowed, not from
a local capitalist, but from certain New

PREMIER REFUSES TO MAKE STATEMENT
Majority Against the Government IL
only Three and There f.
Little Probability of
Change.

LONDON, July 2O.-The government was
defeated in the House of Commons tonight
by a majority Of three in the motion to
reduce the membership of the Irish Land
commission. On the announcement Of the
vote a scene of greatest excitement was
produced by the liberals and the Irish
members yelling Resign
The incident is considered hardly of suf-
fcient Importance to justify the govern
ment in resigning, but when asked by Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the leader Of
the opposition, what course he intended to
pursue, Premier Balfour declined to make
a statement.
John Redmond, leader Of the Irish party,
said the premier had repeatedly declared
that he would resign If defeated and that
If he disregarded this vote Of want Of con-
fidence he would be acting against all
precedents. Was he going to swallow this
humiliation as he swallowed every other
humiliation during the last few years, the
premier was asked by Mr.. Redmond.
Mr.. Balfour. replying very coolly, said
that Mr.. Redmond had greatly agitated
himself over a matter which could be set
tied in due time. He was, he said, not
conscious of any humiliation. There would
be ample opportunity within a few hours
OF proving whether the government still
enjoyed the confidence of the majority of
the house.
Cabinet Will Retain once.
The premier said he would consult his
colleagues as to whether the question
would again be submitted to a vote and
would make a statement Monday.
After some wrangling over the question
whether to adjourn until Monday 1t was de-
cided to adjourn until tomorrow.
The Associated Press understands that
1t is practically certain the government
will neither resign nor dissolve Parliament.
Sir Edward Greys motion Of censure of
the government regarding the fiscal ques-
tion will be discussed Monday and the
ministerialists argue that its rejection will
prove that the government still possesses
the confidence of Parliament. 1t is not
unlikely, however that Mr.. Long, the chief
secretary for Ireland, will resign.
