OPERATORS GO BACK
STRIKE ON NORTHERN PACIFIC
AND GREAT NORTHERN
AT AN END.

St. Paul, Aug. 21.-President Per-
ham of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers has called off the strike on
the Northern Pacific road. He said
that the vote of the men on the ques-
ton was close, but he had decided to
call off the strike.
This action follows a similar course
taken by President Perham in regard
to the trouble on the Great Northern,
the formal notice to this effect being
contained in the following message
directed by President Perham to Gen.
eral Superintendent Slade:
This is to advise you that the
strike Of the station agents and teleg-
raphers on the Great Northern rail-
way has been declared off and our
membership is now at liberty TO re-
turn to work if it desires. So far as
the organization and committee are
concerned the strike is a closed Incl
dent"
On both roads the operators will re.
turn to work under the schedules last
offered to them and which were re
fused by President Perham and his
strike committee.

MANIFESTO BY GAR
CREATES NATIONAL REPRESEN.
TATIvE ASSEMBLY LONG DE.
SIRED BY RUSSIANS.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Russia's
rational representative assembly, the
fruit Of decades of stress and striving
for reform, which endows the Russian
people with the right of being con-
suited through their chosen represen-
tatives in the suggestion, preparation
and repeal of legislation, 10Y takes
its place among the fundamental in
situations Of the empire.
The national assembly will be a
consultative organization in connec-
ton with the council of the empire
and not a legislative body. The pow
ers of the emperor remain theoretical
ly absolute. AS the emperor is the
supreme law giver and autocrat, the
decisions of the douma have only a
recommendatOry and not a binding
force, though the rejection of any leg
islative measures by a two-thirds ma
jority of both houses is sufficient to
prevent that measure from becoming
law.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
