 DO I51 AGREE EosjW Session Has Pro-
 lOnged Debate. MARTIAL LAW DEPENDED Count Witte's SpOk esman JuStifieS Extreme measures Ccntended by Some That Russian Em- pire is Not Yet Ready for Inaugura-
 tion of Universal suf-
MARTIAL LAW DEPENDED

Moscow. Nov. 22.--A resolution out lining the proposed program of the Zemstvoists favoring the support of the government in its effort to establish the liberties promised by the Imperial manifesto of October 30, but asking for into constituent assembly to be elec- ted on the basis of direct and univer- sal suffrage, which was introduced by the executive committee in the Zemstvo Congress today. was the subject of a prolonged debate in which nearly forty speakers participated and at the end of a long evening session the resolution was referred back to the committee for the incorporation of any modification made necessary by the criticism of 1t, and 1t will be voted on tomorrow.
 The leaders of the "Octoberites," as the party taking a stand on the mani- festo is called, and other Moderates con- centrated their attack on the section of the resolution calling for a constituent assembly, for which M. Guchkoff, Count Hayden. Prince Eugene Troubtesky. Professor Kovalvsky and others declar- ed that Russia was not ready; but 1t is believed that any manifestation. if made, will be in the direction of strengthening the conditions which have been laid down for governmental acceptance.
 The section calling for q thorough and severe investigation of and the placing of the responsibility for the recent disorders met with general ap- proval, though M. Guchkoff demand ed an investigation not only of police, but also of the Reds"
 Russia Not Net Ready.
 M Guchkoff and Count Hayden op- posed not only the demand for con- stituent assembly, but also that for aIa yvhtoh fhAv said Russia was not sufficiently developed.
 M. Guchkoff, who is regarded as Count Witte's spokesman, defended martial law. saying that extraordinary measures were necessary in. extreme cases. He was continually interrupted by cries of Enough" from the Social ists in the audience and the extreme delegates. G
 Prince Troubetsixey reproved the dis turbers. Hc said he was opposed to martial law. especially in Poland, but the delegates ought to give respect- full hearing to all opinions, especially If they were unpopular.
 The decision practically of the con- gress to cooperate with the govern ment of Count Witte is extremely dis tasteful to the Socialists of the con- gress. who created scene in the con gross of peasants which opened here today and to which they demanded ad- mittance with the right to vote. The congress refused to grant the right to vote, whereupon the Socialists left in a huft after declaring that the peasants did not know who were their best friends.
 The central committee of the Social Democratic Party has called a conven- tion to be held in St. Petersburg De- cember 23.
 In the Zemstvo Congress the legal committee introduced a program for the making of the necessary legal changes to bring about the right use of habeas corpus.

BASHA AT WHITEHOUSE
ABYssIN1AN CALLS TO SEE THE
 PRESIDENT.
Presents a Letter of Introduction Written in His Native Language. and Mr. Roosevelt Postpones
 Reading the sEihsiye.

Washington, Nov. 22.-El Hadji Ab- dsiiah Basha, Minister of commercs for Abyssinia. called upon .Presiden, Roosevelt today and presented to him personal letter from Emperor Mene- Iik. He also brought certain gifts for the Chief Magistrate.
 The Abyssinian was in full court uni form of dark blue so thickly embroid- cred with gold lace that the texture of the goods could scarcely be dis cerned, with fez and with a curving scimitar in a golden scabbard. He came to the White House escorted by Major John Carson, chief of the Divis- ion of Manufacturers Of the Census Bureau, and R. N. Jereisati. Phila- delphia merchant, who accompanied the Basha as translator.
 The President extended cordial welcome to his visitor, who first hand ed him the Emperor's letter of greet ing. Unfortunately. this screcd was in the Abyssinian language which no one could interpret. and the President was obliged to defer for the moment the reading of the message.
 Then the Basha presented In behalf of Emperor Menelik three elephant tusks, one being a gigantic specimen nine feet long and of great rarity and value As his personal offering. the Basha gave the President the skin of a maKnificent Numidian lion. The President return d thanks for tho gifts and indicated his purpose of placing the tusks in the national museum and keeping the lion skin in his private collection.
 The nature of the Basha's mission was explained in detail to tho Presi' dent through the interpreter and tho President showed the liveliest interest in it's success. Looking to this coun- try as one without any possible sin ister political designs upon Abyssinis the Emperor of that country feels dis posed to favor American investors IT the exploitation of his country.
 Therefore the Basha stated that h' had with him a number of concessioni of more or less value for the develop ment of the material and industria resources of his country which he wal prepared to place in capable American hands
 The President told his visitor tha he wished him success and turning t' Major Carson, of whom he had spokeI in complimentary terms to the Basha instructed him to do everything In hi power to bring the minister in clos touch with the proper commercial peo ple in this country to further the pur poses of his mission.
 The party next crossed to the Stat Department to see Secretary Root the Presidents suggestion and the were likewise given warm reception and promise of such aid as the sec retary might properly extend.

The teacher led the children to the win dows beneath which the firemen stretched a net. Under the sisters di- rection tho girls climbed out over the sill and one by were assisted to drop and were caught safely In the ap- paratus held by the firemen.

The influence of institutions growing up under 1t has been felt. he said. in all the marvellous industrial de- velopmeny that has places this country in the forefront of the world powers. or these schools fin the South he said:
 While hospitably received by the na- tional organisation of such schools. these Southern land grant colleges lack yet unifying force that will place them in proper relation to each other and to the general educational scheme of the South. Can we not hope that such a unifying force will be forthcom- ing?"

Born on beautiful island
In the western opal sea
have grown to mighty dimensions
And spread far out DER the lea.
Weak and small when started
To spread out my white wings and fly
Across the beautiful water
To the islands lying near by.
Soon they were reckoning to me
To come still farther their way;
l went and found was welcome
However far might stray.
Of the green, fruit-ladened islands
The news of each week bring,
To islanders on the islands
For I am the THE ISLANDER.
