ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.-Count A. p.
Ignatieh, who had just returned from q
tour Of inspection In South Russia, has
proved to be the man Of the day at tho
Peterhof conferences. Far from justify
ing his reputation az stubborn reac-
tionary he advocated the widest possible
measures Of reform and their speediest
introduction. He supported his argu-
ments with facts gathered by him on his
tour, which he presented with force and
eloquence.
He declared that the Romanon dynasty
and family were in danger. He stated
that i'm. Boulyguine's scheme were adopted
In Its present form Russia would infalMbly
enter upon period OF catastrophee, COM
pared with which those previo usly ex-
perienced and the ordinary revolutions
OF the nineteenth century would be child's
play.
When Count Ignatiefr ceased speaking
the debate suddenly stopped. The Gar
adjourned the meeting, and ordered the
Official Messenger to be kept open for an
official declaration. In the afternoon the
Messenger issued an extra edition stating
that the Boulyguine project would be sub
jeoted to strict revision.
The debates at the conferences have been
keen throughout. Among the most out
spoken advocates Of limiting reforms to a
minimum are M. Pobiedonostsef, Pro-
curator-General Of the Holy Sy nod, Court
Minister Freedericks and Count Lamsdorf,
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. The Csar.
Grand Dukes Michael, Vladimir and Alexis
and majority Of the con ferees favored
reforms.
The conferences are for the purpo se OF
finally considering the Governments prof.
ect for national assembly

HAVE YOU PAID!

Several weeks ago We mailed statements
to all our subscribers who were in arrears
for subscription. AS this has been good
year, financially, to all classes of people,
We expected the responses to our state
ments would be prompt. But our expec-
tations have not been realized. Just 80
per cent. OF those who were indebted to
us have responded That means SO out
OF hundred failed to remit the amount
due us. Do you belong to the 80 or the
IS class? If you are one OF the latter
number, won't you make out your check
or BY money order for the amount due
us at once? We must have money to meet
our obligations, and as you doubtless
know, We are not allowed year in which
to pay our bills for labor, newspaper, ink
and many other items.
We must pay as we 60, and we think
that after sending you THE TRANSCRIPT a

two to five years. We think we are well
within our rights, moral and legal, when
We insist that accounts due US should be

FOR YOUR PROFIT AND PLEASURE

Are you drifting along in the old rut
and not availing yourself of the economic,
labor-saving and pleasure producing de-
vices of the day, standing at the head of
which is the telephone?
If you are in business, could not your
present force do more work by using the
great time-saver, the telephone? Wouldn't
your bank account be increased if you
saved the most valuable of all commodi-
ties-time-by the use of the telephone?
Would not your home be more conven-
lent and your family safer and happier if
you had telephone in your home?
These are not idle questions. but ones
that appeal TO your interests, to the well
fare and happiness of your family. Think
them over and then learn prices on resi-
dent telephones. You will find them so
low as to make your failure to install one
in your home almost crime against your
family and yourself.
If you wish to learn prices address the
Diamond State Telephone Co., Middle
town, Del.
