committee on rules to bring in a rule
providing for the consideration of the
measure, beginning on Tuesday next
ard continuing until 4 clock of
Wednesday when a vote will be taken.
No amendment will be allowed to
the bill although the first vote will be
taken on the Davey bill, as a demo-
cratic substitute for legislation on
the railway rate subject. The con
ference which lasted three hours
developed some opposition to the
measure. The only test vote taken
was on motion to postpone the mat
ter for a further conference next
Tuesday, which was lost by Al to l57.
Efforts we're also made to amend
the bill during this conference, but
all of these failed. Fault was found
with the bill on the ground that it
did not include the regulation of the
private car evil and terminal charges.
MOSCOW, Feb. 3.-At a private
meeting of the provincial nobility to-
day, after the discussion of the reform
proposal, it was decided to vote for
modified form of an address to the
government to the effect that the
members of the nobility are waiting
word from the emperor, which would
show that the bonds uniting the
throne and the people are still IN
broken, and that the emperor would,
when he deemed it advisable, summon
the elected representatives of the peo-
pie to participate in the government.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. Feb. b
There is no improvement discernible
in the labor disturbance in Poland. At
Sosnovice, the center of the iron and
cotton industries 40, coo men are on a
strike, with the accompaniment of
street parades and the intimidation of
those workmen who have not struck.
The railway station near that place
has been destroyed and traffic inter
rupted by the strikers. In Warsaw the
workmen in forty two sugar factories
have struck. Maxim Gorky viii be
put on trial on political charges, but
whether before a civil or military
court has not yet been determined.
ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 1. -OficiaI
reports OF the deliberations of the
committee Of ministers on the guaran-
tees for the observance of the laws,
and for the prevention of the arbitrary
conduct by officials evoke general sat
isfaction.
The proposal TO restore the senate s
original character as the chief guar
dian of the laws, is described in some
quarters as the corner stone of the new
edifice, which is building on the ruins
of bureaucracy.
Special commissions of the minis
tiers of the interior, finance and jus
tlce are busIly engaged in studying
the questions of equality, peasant
legislation strikes, and state insurance
for workmen, which were outlined by
the imperial ukase of December 18th.

Ell PASO, Feb. 3-The Mexican
consul here has received telegram
from the governor of Sonora, saying
that the Yaqui Indians, who massacred
the four Americans last week, are be-
ing vigorously pursued in the noun
tains, and when captured will be pros
eeuted to the full extent of the law.
1t is believed here that the Yaquis
are preparing to take the war path this
coming summer. In spite of the pro
hibItory orders and vigilance of the
Mexican authorities they have been
smuggling arms and ammunition into
Sonora for several months.
The lives of all Americans IN the
scattering mining camps of Sonora are
now considered in danger. The ami
mostly of the Indians toward Ameri-
cans in the country is because they
have sanctioned and encouraged the
/ determination by the Mexicans il
dealing with the rebels.
