LONDONDERRY, December 2-This city
is at present periously near a water fam
inc. Only 100000 gallons of water re-
main in the several reservoirs and the nor
nal consumption is between eight and nine
million gallons per week Practically moth
ing more has come into the reservoir than
has been taken out, so that II may be said
that the city is almost at the mercy of the
rainfall. The town clerk has sent notices
to the large shirt manufacturers warning
them that il may be necessary to shut off
the supply. This step. if taken, would in
volve the stoppage Of the staple Industry

Witte Believes in the People.

One thing is certain. Unless conditions
change Count Whites marvellous staying
powers will be subjected to a very danger
Gus strain. He still has firm hopes in the
good sense of the Russian people, the vast
majority of whom are undoubtedly on the
side of law and order, but who have not yet
advanced to Il stage where they are capable
of making their higher ideas and ideals
heard and understood. The number of per
sons who are keeping the whole nation in
a simmer of chaotic ferment is alleged to
be r!diculously small as compared with
those whose interests and expressed wills
are in favor of orderly living and working
But the few are organized and aggressive,
while the many are disunited and passive.
thus it is a remarkable fact that the
proportion of men who desire to strike is
small as compared to those Who want to be
allowed to earn a livelihood for themselves
and their families; but the latter. intimi-
dated by the former, are compelled TO figure
as strikers militant. Whenever either re-
dictionary band or peace-lovng citizens have
taken up arms and declare that they would

Present Law Ineffective.

The present electoral law is utterly in
effcacious. The peasant vote is diluted to
Il degree which not only renders it void of
its personal element, but leaves it at the
mercy of lodnl officials and tradesmen. One
thing is ccrtain-the movement in the direc-
ton of universal suffrage IS spreading The
Moscow town council will resign in order
TO give place to another body elected on a
universal suffrage basis.
The strain upon Count V'itte Is intense.
Appeals to all parties for a patriotic truce
and a temporary cooperation, or at least
benevolent neutrality. have awakened hardly
any response. Better a military dictator,
and all that that implies. than support
Whites cabinet" many extreme liberals are
exclaiming. Governing a nation under such
conditions is like squaring the political
circle, and unenviablc is the lot of him who
has set himself the task. The minister
president has often bean compelled to at
tend sessions of the cabinet council lasting
four or five hours. Count White, on whose
spacious table STATE documents and tele-
grams are piled in heaps often has urgent
matters TO dispose of at 3 and 4 o'clock in
the morning. Even when he is free to re-
tire he suffers from severe nervous head
aches, such as he experienced last year,
and Is unable to close his eyes during the
entire night

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
Still the Main Question
Among the Russian People.
Special CableGram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, December Prom
a trustworthy source it is learned that the
government is discussing the question Of
universal suffrage. 1t would not be sur
prising If. in view of the concessions made
on this point to the Firms, the government
were to depart from the polioy adopted by
Count White. One of the Zemstvo leaders
now in this city said that the zemstvo would
be willing to accept universal suffrage in
the second degree for the present, and the
direct ballot for the remainder of the in
habitants. The Russ even goes far as
TO point out that Finland was instantly
tranquillized by the grant of universal suf-
frage, and argues that similar effect may
be expected TO follow a similar cause in
Russia. Such a policy would meet with
tremendous opposition In certain quarters.
The anti-democTatc minority of the zemst-
vos represented by NJ. Shiphoff NJ. Courtch-
koff and Michael Stakhovitch, are urging
Count White 10 refrain.
According to dispatches from foreign
countries published here it is evident that
leading newspapers abroad do not indorse
the almost general demand of Russian lib
erals for universal suffrage. 1t should, how
ever, be remembered that in judging the
situation in Russia no parallel can be drawn
from countries which possess constitutional
government. The objections that may be
raised on the grounds of the ignorance of
masses must be balanced by the absolute
necessity of doing something to restore
peace and confidence to this distressed
country. The events of the past week have
amply demonstrated the complete inability
of the government to bring about this de-
sired result There is every reason to fear
that the outrases and 1awessness fostered
by misrule in the towns may have a ter
rible sequel in the villages unless prompt
action ne taken to arrest the opntagion
and the readiest method available is a gen
crdl appeal to the consciences of the people
in the form of universal suffrage.
