THE HOLOCAUST
WAS HORRIBLE
Hundreds of WOrkmpn Victims Of
a Dreadful Fate.
NEW ELECTORALLAW
Workmen Are Taken Care of, and
by Its Provisions the Right
of Suffrage Is Conferred
on Nearly Everybody.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-A terrible
holocaust occurred at the .Syrin works
where 5000 workmen were suddenly
surrounded by cavalry and artillary.
The latter fired at the building. which
was soon in flames. Hundreds per-
ished in the conflagration.
revolutionists have six automatic guns.
Governor General Vubasoff has taken
vigorous measures to discover con-
cealed arms. holding owners of houses
responsible and ordering the confisca-
ton of Improperly where the presence
of arms or bombs is disclosed
The new electoral law was gazetted
Tuesday and was accompanied by a
statement explaining that even some
of the western countries do not possess
universal suffrage the cabinet could
not assure the responsibility of de-
creeing 1t The ultimate decision must
be made by the national assembly itself
The election list will be publ he'd
forthwith. the date of the elections will
then be announced and as soon as the
government receives notification that
half the members are elected the ma
tional assembly will be convoked. The
extension of the suffrage just procla-

as voting qualification is removed.
The indirect system of the degrees of
voters in both the cities and country Is
retained A new feature of the law is
that the worker instead of being allowed
a certain number of class representa-
tives the electoral colleges will be
composed by the ro--inces. The work
men will choose an elector for every
10000 men. The result Is shown in
the case of the province of St Peters
burg. where the electoral college will
contain ID peasant electors. Is land
lords and "a workingmen. BY this
method. while the workingmen's elect
ors are the largest class. they will only
be able to elect Representatives In
combination. The new law is a great
extension Of the law of August: 1t
contains elements which certainly will
appeal to conservative opinion.
