zEMsTv0S CONGRESS-
coNVENEs AT CITY OF MOSCOW
prefect Prohibits Meeting and Police
Take Down Names of Delegates
But Congress Continues in Session.

But Congress Continues in Session.
Moscow, July 2O.-The Zemstvo
Congress opened at midday yesterday
in the residence of Prince Dolgorou-
koff.
The congress was attended by 225
delegates. Count Heyden, leader of
the deputation representing the con-
gress recently received by the en-
peror, presided.
NJ. Golovine. president of the organ
izing committee, had barely started a
statement dealing with the obstacles
placed in the way of the congress, an
nouncing that Governor General Kose-
loft had promised that there would be
no recourse to extreme measures,
when the chief of police, with numer-
Gus commissaries and officials, en-
tered the room.
The chief announced that the pre-
feet had prohibited the meeting of the
congress and ordered the seizure of
the documents. Count Heyden pro-
tested against the proceedings, but
the chief of police began taking the
names of the delegates. Then cries
Were raised of write down the whole
OF Russia"
Many persons present who were not
delegates to the congress requested
that their names also be taken. The
police then departed in order to draw
up summonses and the session was re-
sumed.
The scheme of a national assembly
on the basis outlined by the commit
tee presided over by NJ. Bouligan, min
lister of the interior, was minutely and
critically discussed and denounced as
totally inadequate to remove Russia 8
internal grievances, because. including
property qualification and an elec-
toral system by classes, IL prevented
the assembly from truly Interpreting
the will of the nation, while the eXclu-
sion of numerous categories of citi-
Zens from the franchise was a contra
diction of the principles Of equity and
reasonable state policy.
At the same time it was recognized
that the proposed assembly would
comprise a considerable portion of the
social forces of the empire, and serve
as the center of a social movement
which would tend to secure political
liberty and regular national represen-
tation.
Therefore. it was considered desir-
able that, in the event of the carrying
out of the Bouigan or a similar pro.
ject, the delegates of the Zemstvos
and municipalities should participate
in the assembly to the greatest posi-.
BILE extent, with the object of forming
a compact group and to obtain a guar.
anree of individual and public liberties.

SALVATION ARMY RECEIVES
WORDS OF GRATITUDE FROM
NEEDY.

The Salvation Army has 448 poor
families located and expects to have 500
or more when the time to hand out the
Christmas baskets arrives. Postal cards
with printed acknowledgement were
enclosed with the letters sent out to the
known needy, and by the number Of
these returned, Brigadier J. w. Cousins
and his assistants have been able to
know that hundreds Of baskets will be
called for.
Many of the cards bear pencil lines
Of gratitude and the name and address
of the sender. A few write that they
are sick or else too feeble from old
age to call for the baskets. The bas-

Public Examiner Explains Delay In Cap

F. M. Kerst, public examiner, denies
the report in a st. Paul paper that he
has finished the examination of the state
capitol commission and that the report is
being held up in the governors office
Mr.. Kerst says the work is not yet
finished and will not be for some days
It has been impossible with his limited
force to keep men constantly at work
on the capitol books and records. Tt>re
is SO much routine work that must be
done that the department has had to pull
men away from the capitol books re-
peatedly. The records Of the commission
for twelve years, he adds, are no light
task for an examiner to analyze.

New Haven, Conn.,, May 29.-Will-
lam j. Bryan, who was here on per-
sOnal business, took occasion to
commend the action of Mayor Weaver
OF Philadelphia in his attempt to
Illustrate the gss-grab deal. Mr..
Bryan said:
THAT deal was the greatest grab
this country has ever known. Ithas
aroused the public to a realization
Of what may be expected anywhere
from private ownership, where great
peeuniary interests are at stake.
Whenever there is municipal corrup-
tion growing out Of negotiations for
such franchises, one is apt to find
that sort OF scandal cropping out.
l heartily commend Mayor Weaver
for his action in the premises.

eleven years Imprisonment and to
pay a fine of $102,947, Estes G.
Rathbone, former fourth assistant
postmaster general and director OF
posts in Cuba, Is again In the employ
OF the post office department.
Rathbone left for the East to-day,
after paying an official visit to Den
yer and checking up the books of the
post office here. Postmaster Paul J
Sours and the inspectors say that
Rathbone has been reinstated, al
though no previous announcement
OF such reinstatement has been
made. Denver post Office officials
are exceedingly reluctant to discuss
the Rathbone matter, nor would
any one at the postoffice tell in what
capacity Rathbone is employed al
though they admitted he checked uE
the books at the post Office.
RathbOne arrived here Sunday
night from Omaha. Credentials he
presented at the post Office were
gu fficient to give him official stand
ing, and early Monday he began hi
work. Inspection OF the registers o
the leading hotels does no revea
Rathbone's name. Today he left iol

Mules More Profit
able Than Horses.

A farmer writes to the Ssrcoxis
Leader as follows:
The average farmer Is probably
not aware Of the fact that an aver
age mule sells for $40 per head more
than horses. Such is the case, and
the price has been gradually rising
for number Of years. There has
ne yer been what would be called an
over production Of mules, while the
m arket has often been unable to
fully supply the trade.
The ability Of the mule to endure
great heat has brought 1t into most
general use in the Southern states,
where large farms are devoted en-
tirely to raising cotton; also the
farmers OF the country find the mules
stands the work In the hot season in
W heat work much better than the
horses. All men that have used
IN ules know this to be q fact.
The mule natures more quickly
than the horse and can be placed on
the market from one to two years
sooner than the average horse. This
m cans a large profit to the producers
and quicker returns for the invest
m ent. A we'll fed mule can be work.
ed at 2 years Of age with safety II
proper judgement is exercised by the
driver. They are much less nervous
than a horse, thus not 80 liable TO
accident or blemish. A blemish that
would make q horse unstable would
take but trife from q mule. The
mule il less liable to get cuts and
blemishes for the reason they are
more careful about running into
anything than horse. You will see
six or eight horses blemished and
scared from wire where you will see
one mule SCARED from it.
The mule Is tax payer and q
mortgage litter for the farmer; he is
ready sale at weaving time, at !
year, two years, or when broke to
work. The mule Is ready money at
any age. The horse colt does not
sell we'll until it Is 3 or 4 years old
and broke to work and drive.
