electrical companies of Berlin and their en-
pIoyes has reached a critical stage. The work
men in several departments of the two chief

expensive, owing TO the high price of meat and
other articles. that their wages insufficient,

The companies say that it is impossible to
grant the demands of the workmen, because the
working day has already been reduced from ten
to nine hours and the prices of electrical goods
are still too low to permit of more than an
increase of 5 per cent in wages. The electrical
companies of Berlin employ at least sixty thou
sand men
At late hour tonight il was learned that
the Allgemeine and SiemenS-Hdlske companies

elaborated by a commission under the presi-
dencv of Count Ignatieff-is now practically
completed and after q final review by the Solsl1y
commission on Saturday will be Immediately
laid before Emperor Nicholas. Its PRONUNCIATION
Is confidently expected early next week
Though coupled with q number of restrictions
designed TO give the authorities oversight of pro-
ceedings in order 10 prevent discussion of trea-
sonab!e or seditious subjects, this reform will
mark q great constitutional advance, the people
bly, except at meetings of authorized societies.
The privilege granted by the Emperor's rescript
Of March permitting meetings for discussion
OF popular representation was temporary
measure. and was withdrawn when the national
assembly rescript was issued.
Under the proposed regulations, organizers
are required 70 give three days notice of a
meeting and fits purposes Special sanction for
q meeting is not required, and the posslblnty OF
bureaucratic delays is thereby obviated, but the
government reserves the right TO prohibit OBJ

dresses Of all the speakers and the assembly
may be closed if the speakers deviate from the
announced programme. or in case OF disorder
The second leading article of the bill OF rights
demanded by the reformers viii make popular
representation truly successful. This relates TO
the freedom Of the press and will probably not
take the form of law at this juncture as the
government wishes to submit the question to the
National Assembly for consideration. II Is
understood however, that an informal announce
rlent will soon be made to the effect that the
enforcement Of the press laws will be relaxed
during the campaign so as TO permit of ample
discussion Of measures and candidates.
It is also understood that after January
next representatives of the press will be ad-
raitted TO the sessions Of the Council Of the EN-
pire so that publicity may be given to the pro-
ceA6ines Of the upper house Of the Assembly.

THE MIKASA TORPEDOED?
Belief That Loss Was Caused By
Explosion from Outside.

Toxic, Sept. 21.-Regardng the loss of the
bettleship Mikasa, strong doubt is now ex
pressed that the fire started at the base Of the
mainmast. It is believed that the confagration
must have been due to an explosion from the
outside, which was followed by a greater ex-
plosion. Otherwise. it is unexplainable why the
flames were not extinguished by the veteran
crew of the battleship, which had remained calm
under the hottest fire from the Russian guns
powerful pump has arrived at Saseho from
Port Arthur to be used in floating the Mikasa-
1t is expected to float the battleship within
three months.
