RUSSIAN Cl-AMOR FOR WORK
Editor Turkevitch Says Revolution
and Constitution Are Not Desired.

Editor Turlevitch Says Revolution
and Constitution Are Not Desired.
The Rev. Benedict - Turkevitch,
rector Of the Russian Orthodox church
In Bridgeport, Conn, and the editor Of
Siet Qight), prominent Russian paper
In the United States, who recently re-
turned from a three months visit to
Russia, spoke as follows OH the dis
turbances there. says the New York
Tribune:
THE people Of Russia, the peasant
class, do not want revolution or
constitution They do not know the
meaning Of revolution or constitution.
Let me explain, SO far as l am able,
the situation relative to the working
classes The country districts about st.
Petersburg fact, about any large
city-are very densely populated There
is little land to work as it is, and what
soil has been worked is worked out.
The people are unable to make living
and consequently flock in great num-
bers to the cities. Here they are vii.
ing to work for almost nothing, for
enough to eat. But with this great in
fux Of labor come distressing condi-
tons. There is very little work, and
there are a great many hands to do It
The employers therefore are able to
hire labor very cheaply, and at the
same time this leaves a great many
men without work. The supply far ex-
eeeds the demand. OF course there is
a great clamoring for work and for
higher wages and shorter hours, SINH
lar to the demand In America. It Is
my firm belief that this priest, Gopon.
as he calls himself, and his lieutenants
have willfully brought these people to
believe that the petition they drew up
was along these lines, whereas they
took advantage to institute in 1t their
own revolutionary ideas and have made
the people unwilling, aids and puppets,
unheknoWn to themselves.
II do not believe that these disturb
ing the. war with Japan. am well
satisfied that the soldiers will blame
the people for this trouble. They real
ize that force Is necessary to subdue
lawless mob led by fanatical reform
ers. In fact, the army has known of
the disturbances of the working people
for some time, and they have had nc
effect. There is no talk among the so,A
diers Of revolution. / give you my
word that the people, the masses Of
Russia, do not want revolution, they
do not want a constitution, but they do
want work, and where there is no work
for them what is. there to do?
II believe that this trouble has been
simmering along for some time under
the utmost secrecy. These agitators
have been misleading the mass Of the
people. They have given the mob to
understand that the demands upon the
car grew out of purely industrial rea-
sons, but they have also taken advan-
tage Of the ignorance Of the people and
their inability to read or write to work
on their own fanatical ideas of consti-
tutional rights and have led them on
into a revolutionary action. I honestly
believe that if the mass of that mob
which engaged in the struggle last
Sunday Jan. 90 knew the real cause
Of the shooting and the real purpose OF
the leaders in agitating them they
would tear those leaders into pieces"

Notes From Washington.

ICtlulllS Ulls' i dull uCdUiOli VI vi
Santa DOMINICAN treaty at the
next session OF Congress the
President has ordered that the.
United States government shall
act us the tenn porary financial
receiver of Santo Domingo. The
;nnounce ment Of this determine
ton of the President created
something Of a sensation among
those who believed that he would
accept the verdict Of the Senate
that the treaty was dead, but he
is upheld not only by the Cabin
ct but by some Of his Senatorial
friend J, notably Senators Lodge
and Spooner, and by the great
majority of the people. 1t is IN
derstood now that when the extra
session of congress is called in
October the vote will be in favor
of the ratification, but in the
meantime the terms of the un-
ratified agreement will be car
ried out as if it were liz force
except that the revenues of the
Island will not be attributed to
the foreign creditors until the
Senate has sanctioned the dis
bursement The determination
of the President to act in the
matter pending the re-assem-
bling of the Senate is a radical
procedure and will come in for
some heated criticism when
Senators Morgan, Cammack and
Bacon and others get the public
ear, but the people believe that
the President is right and there
will be a sufficient numb of
Republicans in the Senate in the
fail! to uphold him. From the
present outlook it is altogether
likely that the treaty will be a
PAL ty question and that with the
full strength of the Republican
side for it there is every likelihood
that it will be ratified.
In the order issued by the
President and addressed to act
ing Secretary Adee he has ex-
planned his receivership PROPOSE
ton and states that the Secre-
tary of War will present for
nomination by the Dominican
Republican men TO act as reeeiv-
ers of the Northern and South
ern ports pending the ratification
of the protocol. These men are
to be selected with care and
chosen for their capacity and
integrity as well as understar q
of Spanish and the customs #
the country. Meanwhile Nj.
Hollander previously appointed
toinvestigate creditors claims ia
the country will continue his
work and report his findings to
this government.
Acting Secretary AID has
also prepared a statement for
publication which explains more
IN detail than the Presidents
order his reason for accepting
the proposal of Santo Domingo
to establish q receiyership of the
country's finances. He claims
that the receivership is intended
to preserve the status quo SO
that if the treaty shall be ratified
it can be executed.
The President 5 action IN this
matter is the subjec5 of the hour
in Washingt II, and among public
men, and guarantees a lively
session for the senate next fall
as well as something for the Sen
ators to think about during the
sumner. When the Senate
meets again it will feel that it
knows the President just little
better than it ever did before.
He had the advice and sup
port of some Of the country's
safest men in this procedure
and has had the encouragement
of Senators Foraker, Lodge.
Spooner, Knox and German, all
of whom are on the Foreign Re-

duty of our government as the
only one able To do so to respond.

ment. When this legislature:
meets again Wednesday night
the assemembly will find on its
calendars the final adjournment
resolution, which has been intro
duced by Assemblyman Irvine,
providing for final adjournmenU
April 2Sth. There is little
chance any action will be taken
on the resolution then, and a mo-
ton will at once be made that it
lie over for another week.
Speaker Lenroot and others Of
the legislative leaders say that
there will be no final adjournment
resolutions pass the legislature,
until tits known what will happen
tothe railwayrate bill and other
of the major measures which are
pending. Assem- blyman Irvine
and some of the other country
mem bers, however, want to get
home as soon as possible on ac-
count of spring work.
Two of the biggest propositions
with which the legislature will
have to wrestle, the civil service
bill and the rate bill, have finally
come in from com mitlees, and
are now up for legislative action.
1t is the general opinion that both
will have pretty hard shedding,
and if they a.'e passed that they
will be modified even still more
than they have been in commit
tees. Long debates may be ex-
pected on both. so the sessions
for the next week or two should
be interesting.

session was the old pump Car

has never been settled.
The anti cigarette bill has final
~ been carried through both
houses. but awaits the assembly
concurrence in a miner amend
ment before it goes to the gov
ernor, It is still far from the
statute book, and not a few
predict that it will never go
there. Another measure which.
promises a big horn locking is
the Thayer ward option bill, which
aims to shut saloons out of resi-
dence districts. The assembly
ordered it engrossed by big
vote, but that's as far as it has
yet progressed. What the
senate will do with it is probe

What to do about the rebuild

A resolution has been introduced
to accept the the invitation Of
Minnesota to see the new capitol
there, and if the visit is made it
may help to clarity the situation.
The assembly in the past week
has put through a mimi Der Of
bills which have been styled 'ag-

One of these is the Henry John

Citizens Have Contributed Lib.
orally to Clean Out the Pine
OVER FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS
The Work Will Begin at Once and
Alma Will Soon Have Beautiful
Little Lake.

The petition which has been circulated
this week by Don X. Bennett, manager
of the RECORD, in the interest of clean
ing out the Pine has received a hearty
support, and it looks a. though now,
after so many failures in the past, that
the good work would be commenced
within a very short time. The money
will be turned over TO the Alma Business
Mems Association, who will engineer
the project, and see that the funds are
expended in a way that the greatest
amount of work will be accomplished.
The cost of doing the work has been
greatly lessened by the recent high water,
as many of the old logs and stumps were
loosened up and carried down 10 the
bridge and are now being hauled away.
The big hole which was torn in the
race is letting the water out fast and the
pond will soon reach a very low stage,
which will greatly facilitate the work.
The petition has been circulated only
two days and has S3il pledged, which is
enough for a good start. There are
many who have not been approached yet,
who will no doubt be glad TO contribute
later The siguers and the amounts are
