Comment Of London Papers.

London. Jan. 22.-Such phrases as
these, extracted from editorial articles
in the London morning newspapers,
sufficiently indicate the opinion held
here of yesterdays events in st. Pc
tersburg:
"Revolt has been quelled but revolu-
tion begun"
"The bureaucracy has declared its
policy; it is the policy of Blagoyest-
chenk-massacre."
1.-The inevitable reaction has begun,
and with it new chapter in Russia's $
history. and probably also in the his
tory of Europe and Asia"
The revolution in Russia has re.
celved its baptism of blood, its crown
Of martyrdom."
"1s there a Mirabeau or even Dan.
ton in Russia to-day?"
"A very grave responsibility lies to-
day at the door of the Gar, who has
failed to grasp his unique opportunity"
"The Little Father has become the
murderer of his people and it remains
with him to save the country from dis
aster. Even at the eleventh hour he
may do so. but only by recognizing that
autocracy has gone forever"

Sensation at Paris.

Paris. Jan. 23-The news OF the
bloody events in St Petersburg has
caused profound sensation here. The
newspapers published special editions
throughout the evening giving dra-
matte details of the street fighting.
and these were eagerly read and dis
cussed in the boulevards. at the thea
ters and in other public places, the
tragedy being the universal subject of
comment.
The Temps St Petersburg cores
pondent last night makes graphic com
parison between the position of EN-
peror Nicholas II. and King Louis XVI.
on the eve of the reign of terror.
After careful analysis of the situa-
ton the correspondent concludes that
most of the military forces of Russia
will remain loyal to tho Emperor, al
though he foresees prospects of some
of the artillery regiments playing the
same role that the regiment of the
French guards took on the fall Of the
bastile at the French revolution. He
also points out that Emperor Nicho-
las withdrawal to the Tsarskoe-Selo
palace also increases the fury Of the
mob.
The Socialist journals do not dis
guise a strong sentiment in favor of
the people. and Of Indignation against
the course of the government.

Proposed Joint Memorial.

House Joint Memorial No. /, by Mr..
Baer. was introduced and referred to
the committee on federal relations. 1t
follows:
ITO the honorable Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled:
Your memorialists. the Fifteenth
General Assembly of the state f.Colo-
rado, respectfully represent to your
honorable body that.
Whereas, The act approved Janu-
ary 10, 1897, relating to the construc-
tion of storage reservoirs for free
stock water upon the unoccupied pub
lie lands of the United States and the
withdrawal from entry of certain lands
under the provisions thereof, has been
and will be in the future of great ben
eft in promoting the live stock indus
try in the West. Believing as we do
that the act should have provided for
the privilege of allowing springs and
water seeps to have hcen cleaned out
and fenced, and the waters conducted
on The outside of said reservoirs or
troughs and in less quantities than
now required by the regulation of the
interior department and that the same
be kept for the free use of range stock.
1.-The provision would lead to the
preservation of much stock water, and
in the opinion of your memorialists
would in no way interfere with the dis
posal of agricultural areas; but would
prevent in a great measure the utter
destruction of many good springs and
sources of water supply by preventing
their being entirely destroyed by the
tramping of range stock; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved, That our members of
Congress be urged to secure the pas
sage of an amendment permitting the
fencing of springs for the above pur-
pose"

Rider Haggard.

Rider Haggard. the author Of ''Ths
Brethren" and a marvellous list Of Al
rican tales. is much more than a writer
of stories, though the world has known
him for the last dozen years only as
such. Back in the seventies he was 3
big man in South Africa-master Of
the High Court of the Transvaal and
the man who, with Colonel Brooke.
hoisted the British flag over the South
African Republic. He was a mighty
hunter in his South African days and
many of the shooting adventures SO
excitingly set out in his novels are
written directly from actual happen
ings. 1t was in the eighties and nine
ties that he began to produce his fam
GUS novels. In 1901 he took up his In
vestigation OF the condition OF agrf
culture in England and Is now noted
for his tireless work in the best inter-
ests Of the British farmer.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Against Land Law Repeal.

Senator Taylor presented the follow
ing memorial to Congress. protesting
against the repeal of the desert land
laws:
Your memorialist, the Fifteenth
General Assembly of the state of Colo
rado. respectfully represents to your
honorable body that;
Whereas. There Is now pending be-
fore the Congress of the United States
bill providing for the repeal OF all
existing desert land laws. and.
Whereas. 1t is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely in the inter-
ests of the land grant railroads for
the purpose of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands; and,
Whereas. The present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement OF
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiming and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that eau
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and,
whereas. The federal land laws
nows now on our statute books have
been OF great benefit in the develop
ment of this state and have operated
satisfactorily wherever their provis-
ions have been carried out in good
fs!eh; and,
Whereas, We believe that any
change in the present desert land laws
OF the United States would be detri-
mental to the great intermountain re-
gion and would especially retard the
development of our state; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved. That we earnestly protest
against the passage of said bill and
against any interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the
United States. And. further. we di-
rect that a certified copy of this men,
orial be forthwith sent to our senators
