CAR GRANTS
MORE LIBERTY

ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.-An
imperial rescript issued to-day orders
Count Kutaiszoff, Governor of Irkutsk,
to elaborate a scheme for the introduce
ton of zemstvos in Irkutsk, Tomsk
and Tobolsk, in accordance with the
suggestions of the imperial ukase, add
ing that the development of emigra-
t1on to Siberia from European Russia
necessitates some form of popular rep
resentation.
This rescript, which provides for the
extension Of the zemstvO system to the
whole of Siberia east of Irkutsk, marks
the first notable advance in local self
government since the institution of the
zemstvos.

eral Maximovitch will be held early in
May to discuss and formulate plans for
a system of local government in the

prominent land proprietors of Poland
have been invited to participate in the
discussions.

DISCUSSION
OF JAPANESE
PEACE TERMS
Siberia Conquest
Is Being Urged
in Toxic.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TOXIC, April 17.-'Keep quiet
gentlemen" was the Japanese Gov
ernment's entreaty to the press and
public at the opening of the war. So
both press and public preserved
silence. But suddenly of late, very
likely encouraged by the developments
in Russia and Manchuria, and per-
haps from fear that the Govern
ment would be overmoderate. public
and press have grown bolder in dis
cussing Japan's final demands upon
Russia.
DR.. Tomizu, professor at the I'm
perial University has been regarded
as the leader of the stalwarts.
Il am haunted by a fear that,
through the timidity of the men in
power and the advisers of the throne,
Japan may lose her opportunity and
let Russia off too cheaply,' he de-
clares.
He makes six main points in his
arguments:
/. All nations are now guided by a
policy of land-grabbing, and Japan
cannot afford to be behind in the
scramble for territory.
2. Commercial expansion has be-
come Impossible. without territorial
expansion. Everywhere markets are
being closed by customs barriers.
Even the United States has caught the
imperialist fever and is looking for g.
foothold on the Asiatic continent.
3. Now or never is Japan'S oppor-
tunity for territorial aggrandizement
1t would be impossible for Japan to
keep up with the other land-grabbing
nations; hence 1t is necessary at the
present time to sieze as much as pos
sible.
4. Trade cannot last unless backed
b,- military force. If Japan does not
seize half of Russia's Asiatic possess
sions she will one day rue it sorely.
5. The professor explains how all
Siberia east of Lake Baikal should be
conquered and held by Japan The
army is to advance to Harbin and
stay there astride Russian communica-
tions until Vladivostok is starved out
and the Russians are forced to with
draw beyond the lake. Then, firmly
established in the mountains south
of that great body of water, a handful
of Japanese could keep off the legions
Of Russia forever
s6. Liaotang peninsula, of course,
must remain japanese. With regard
to Manchuria, the professor has some
scruples- 1t might be wise to return
1t to China. nominally but the juris-
diction ought to belong to Japan.
Korea is to be annexed outright.

BEER LAW UPHELD.
Supreme Court Passes on Missouri
Inspection Statute.

Supreme Court Passes on Missouri
Inspection Statute.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day affirmed the decision of the Circuit
Court for the Eastern District of Mis-
souri, in the case of Pabst VS.. Crenshaw.
attacking the validity of the beer in
spection law of the State of Missouri.
The effect of this decision is to sustain
the law as not antagonistic to the COM
merce clause of the constitution. The
opinion was delivered by Justice White.
The Chief Justice and Justices Brewer.
Brown and Day united in a dissenting
opinion.
In this case the Pabst Brewing Com
pany, Wisconsin corporation, filed a
bill in the United States Circuit Court
for the Western District of Missouri to
enjoin Crenshaw, as State beer inspect
or, from collecting an inspection charge
imposed by State law on malt liquors
shipped from other States. The law
was attacked as repugnant to the in
terstate provision of the national con-
stitution. but Justice White said:
AS the Supreme Court of Missouri
has determined that the statute does
not conflict with the State constitution
and is valid because it is a police regu-
lation imposing conditions upon the
business of manufacturing and selling
beer in Missouri, traffic which il Is
conceded the State had the power to
prohibit entirely. 1t follows that we are
without power from a consideration of
the State constitution, to treat the Ia w
as invalid because of the revenue pro-
visions of the State constitution or
other limitations imposed by that CON
stitution upon the State government. .

DUNNE CONFESSES FAILURE.
Gives Up Hope of Settling the Chicago
Transfers Strike.

CHICAGO, April 17.-After a con-
ference held in his office late this
afternoon with representatives of the
Transfers Union, Mayor Dunno an
nounced that he had practically given
up hope of settling the Montgomery
Ward & Co. strike.
There were numerous disturbances
in the streets during the day. Several
non-unfon men on their way home
were followed by strike sympathizers
and badly beaten, one of them, Henry
Auten, being SO brutally pummeled
with brass knuckles that he may die.
Late in the afternoon, at the inter-
section of State and Madison streets,
a mob numbering fully 1000 gathered
about a State-street cable car on
which James jackson and Moses
Flood, two colored men, who had
driven wagon to Montgomery Ward
& Co.'s, were riding. Stones and
sticks were hurled at the car and in
a twinkling every window in the car
was smashed. Two policemen rushed
into the car and in order to protect
the colored men placed them under ar
rest. A riot call was sent to- the Cen
trail station and it required twenty
officers who responded to drive the
crowd away and open the streets to
traffic.

WILL PROTEST TO FRANCE
Japanese Government Alleges Grave
Breach of Neutrality,

Breach of Neutrality.
TOXIC, April lit is calculated
here that the Russian squadron ar"
rived at Kamranh Bay at noon on
April II, and, therefore, had been oc..
cupying the port forty-eight hour;
when seen at noon on April IA.
Confirmation regarding vessels OF
the Russian squadron having been
seen at Kamranh Bay on April IA
reached Toxic to-day and was given
TO the public through a brief commu-
nication from the Navy Department.
The news caused surprise, because it
was generally doubted that France
would permit the use of her ports to
a belligerent squadron engaged in Of
fensive operations. The Japanes,
Government is silent on the subject OF
its intentions, but it is expected that it
will make immediate representations
to France. The response of France IS
eagerly awaited, particularly as tn
whether France admits that the
squadron is within territorial waters.
France denied that the Russian squad
ron was within territorial waters when
off Madagascar. If she denies it in this
instance. il will give Japan an oppor-
tunity to attack the Russian vessels
without violating Frances neutrality.
Many persons continue to believe the
Russian squadron will speedily leave
Kamranh Bay and continue its voy-
age northward.

CHICAGO DEATH RATE
SHOWS BIG DECREASE
Last Decade Shows a Falling OFF of
Five in Every Thousand of
Population.

CHICAGO, April 17.-In closing his
ten years of service as Commissioners
of Health for the city of Chicago DR..
Arthur r. Reynolds presents in his
annual report significant data show
ing the decrease of the death rate in
the city.
During the ten years from 1885 to
1894, inclusive, the yearly average
rate of death was POOP in every 1000
of population. During the succeeding
ten years the rate decreased to I5.1
in every 1000 of population. This
means that there were 96.0S4 fewer
deaths during the last decade than
there would have been if the death
rate had not fallen below that of the
preceding ten years.

BENSON MUST
STAND TRIAL

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-day
through an opinion by Justice Brown
affirmed the decision of the New York
Federal Court, refusing to grant a pc
tition for a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of John A. Benson, who is resist
ing removal to the District of Column
bia for trial on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the Government in
connection with land frauds on the
Pacific Coast.
The special charge in this case, on
which Benson was indicted by the
Grand Jury of the District of Column
bIa, was that of bribing an officer of
the Interior Department to reveal to
him the purport of a report to the de-
partment He was arrested in New
York and sought to prevent removal
to this city by means. of a writ of
habeas corpus, which was denied by
the Circuit Court of the United States
for the southern district of New York.
There were three points raised in the
case as follows: First-That the indict-
ment charges no crime against the
United States; second, that the Dis
trict of Columbia is not a district of
the United States within the meaning
of the law, and third. that the crime
was committed in California and is
only triable there.
All these points were overruled. Com
menting on the suggestion that the
District of Columbia is not a judicial
district, Justice Brown said in his writ
ten opinion:
1T may be said that any construc-
ton of the law which would preclude
the extradition to the District of CO.
lumbia of offenders arrested elsewhere
would be attended by such abhorrent
consequences that nothing but the
clearest language would authorize such
construction" He added informally:

SQUADRON TO BE. SENT
FOR PAUL JONES BODY
Some Doubt Exists, However, as 70
Whether Naval Hero's Grave
Has Been Found.

WASHINGTON, April lit is
authoritatively announced that, when
the proper time comes, the United
States Government will send a splen-
did squadron to France to bring to
the United States for interment with
military honors the body of John Paul
Jones the great revolutionary naval
commander, which ambassador Por-
ter reports he has found.
The wealth of circumstantiality
surrounding the find rather shakes
than increases the confidence of some
persons that this is really the body of
John Paul Jones. So long had his
resting place remained a question of
doubt that many gave up the hope of
ever locating it and there is not now,
so far as learned here, anything real
ly conclusive and beyond question in
proof of the identity of the body.
