ginnines ci very dangerous move

peasantry Of some Of the southern
provinces. where revolutionary 'agita-
tors arc circulating reports that the
emperor viii on March issue mani
festo providing for a general division
OF lands A new allotment has been.
the dream Of the mouiiks ever since
emancipation; and, according TO pri-
vate reports, the stories have spread
like wildhre and are implicitly be-
iieved. In the government Of Tula a
large proprietor went to his estate last
week and found the peasants at work
measuring of and stalking their
shares. In response to his demands
for an explanation, they told him Of
the coming manifesto. Refusing to lis
ten to his declaration that the report
was absurd, they would only say, I'VE
have beard the Little Father has de
cided." When the proprietor asked
what would become of him they re-
piled, "Oh, we will leave you the build
ings and 40 acres"
Once the peasantry become possess
ed of the idea that the emperor has
willed a division of land it will be ex-
ceedlngly dificult to disabuse their
minds. and agrarian troubles on a
large scale are feared. The moujiks
are likely to turn upon the proprietors
as they did several years ago in the
provinces of Saratoff and Poltava,
when almost complete anarchy reigned
for some time.
Private reports also leave no room
for doubt that the strikes in the whole
region below Moscow are almost en-
tirely political in character. The sit
uauon generally Of Russia is becom-
ing worse instead Of better, and con
tains many factors which are causing
the authorities the greatest alarm
The possibility Of the necessity for
the dispatch of additional troops tc
the Caucasus is already being consid

Another factor that is causing grave
! concern is the actual difficulty OF
transporting enough commissary sup
plies for feeding the army at the
front These constantly increasing diff
fculties are strengthening the peace

The report of the release Of Maxim

BILL TO PROBE
THE ARMOR TRUST
Measure introduced in the
House by Congressman
Van Diver
CLAIMS LAWS ARE, VIOLATED

washington, teD. zO.-hepreSenLa-
tive Van Diver (Mo) introduced the
following resolution in the house:
Resolved, That the attorney gen
eral inform the house at his earliest
convenience whether or not any pro
ceedings have been instituted either
civil or criminal against the Armor
Plate Trust, and If not why not, and
further,
Resolved. That the attorney gen
eral also inform the house what steps
have been taken by him to determine
whether or not the said armor plate
trust should be prosecuted for viola
ton of the United States antitrust
law OF July O. 1890, or other United
States statutes against trusts and
combines in restraint of trade"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee.
A preamble 10 the resolution recites
that on September 6, 1901, the at
torney general was petitioned to insti-
tute civil and criminal proceedings
against the Carnegie Steel company
and the Bethlehem Steel company, as
combining and constituting what the
petition alleged was an armor plate
trust for controlling the price OF arm
or plate and that there was filed with
the attorney general and with the
presidentra statement OF facts and evi-
dence SHOWING conspiracy whereby
the trade and commerce IN afulor plate
had been nionopohzed and the armor
plate trust enabled ito sell many tholi-
sandtons Of armor plate TO- United
States government at pFieesnranging
from S445 to $3.50 per toni after aidaiy
appointed board. of expeftanaFal CON
struct6rs had reportbd that the actual
cost of the armof did not exceed $197
per ton. The preamble further al
leges an agreement between the Car
negie and Bethlehem compahies as to
prices and that they have divided the
contracts Of the government between
themselves, each bidding lower than
the other for one-half of the armor
required at any time by the govern
ment. Additional evidence of this con-
spiracy to prevent free and open com
petition in Bids for armor plate, the
preamble continued, had been shown
in the hearings Of the present secre-
tary of the navy, when on January 20.
1905. Secretary Morton stated to the
house committee on naval affairs that
the bids of the Bethlehem and Car
negie companies for 1900 tons OF arm
or plate which had been opened on
January ~ last were discovered to be
Identical In spite of this accumula-
tive. evidence of conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, the preamble said. the
secretary of the navy awarded con-
tracts to these two companies at s453
per ton, when an Independent COM
pany >outside Of the trust had offered
to furnish exactly the same armor for
1898 per ton. thus, the preamble says,
increasing the cost to the government
s55 per ton in order to favor the
trust, and Indicating the powerful in
huence which the aforesaid armor
plate trust has acquired over the gov.
ernment and officials Of the United
States"
