CHICAGO Wins fight
With STREET RAILWAY

Chicago, March 1S.-By tho decis.
ion Of the United States supreme court,
handed down yesterday, and which
was at first heralded as against the
city, the city of Chicago obtains al.
most complete control Of the local
traction situation.
The decision sustains the acts of the
legislature extending the life Of the
charter of the street railway oompa-
mics to ninety-nine years, but does not
sustain the contention of the compan'
les that contract rights which are
limited to fewer years than remain tc
the charter life of the companies are
also extended.
Contracts or ordinances Of the city
limiting the use of the streets by the
copmanies are upheld and the rights
of the companies in the streets are
held to expire according to the ex.
pressed terms of the ordinances.
In its effect the decision leaves the
Union Traction Company without any
right whatever, other than suffrage,
in the streets of the north division OF
the city. It leaves the Unioa Traction
Company in the west division without
rights excepting the ordinance that
contains q purchase clause.

lusEvfrcssecIvE ADVICE


cen.s.lTslis Car - conditions Existing
in AGAnehuria,
Tmrkoe-Selo, March 1S.-0enerai
Linevitch's report regarding the fu-
ture Of Russia in the far East Is pes
simistic. He claims that Japanese
orces in Manchuria are intact and
liable to open hostilities at any time.
They argue that many breaches OF
faith on the part of the Russians In
validate the peace treaty and give
hem the right to make additional
demands. The general says the dis
affection in the army is not serious.
but tho administration is bad. He
advises that the Siberian railroad be
turned over to q private company,
that the investigation directed against
military chiefs be dropped. that SOL
diers be treated with liberality and
that a strong garrison be maintained
in Manchruia.
The car is said to have agreed with
the views expressed by Linevitch. All
the defeated generals will be given
lucrative positions. In the Amur re-
gion the Oossack land system will be
introduced and the land will be dis
tributed among the soldiers who re-
main in the military service. Immi-
grafton of Russian peasants will be
assisted with subsidies and thus Man
churia will be Russified.

Of q recent order from Washington,

The abolition of the crop report has

slant Inaccuracies that crept in through

It arose, according to those conversant

the tendency of the farmers them.

OF SEVERE MEASURES

st. Petersburg, March 14-Epmeror
Nichoas, In receiving a deputation of
lula peasants, who presented him yes
terday with a loyalist address and an
ikon, made the following significant
reamrks:
"Do not allow yourselves to be In
fuenced by the enemies Of public or
der, who are going throughout the
villages exciting the peasants. Do not
take the law into your hands, but de-
liver the agitators to the authorities,
by whom they will be judged with all
severity"
Ugly reports Of another general
railroad strike in Moscow are current.
The government Is taking exceptional
precautions, and battalions Of sappera
are being massed at Moscow to take
the places of strikers, and military
trains are held in readiness at the va
rious stations to proceed in any direc-
tion.
It Is rumored that the officers of a
guard regiment, upon receiving orders
to 60 to the Baltic provinces to par
ticipate in the qualification" Of the
country, met and resigned in body.
Moscow, March l4.-Fears Of rail
road strike are growing. The Nicho-
las station was occupied by troops last
night. A battalion OF armed reserves
has been sent to Rybinsk owing to
fear of agrarian troubles in the upper
Volga region.
Rostoff on the Don, March IA
With the advance Of spring there are
symptoms Of temperance Of agra
rian troubles in number of places in
st. vrapol province. The peasants
are refusing to pillow the land for the
proprietors, and indefinite reports
from other provinces show that the
peasants are boldly seizing and sowing
the estates of the land owners This
is too early, however, to determine
how serious it will become.

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE
government has sent circular to the
governors general and the governors
OF provinces instructing them that
persons taken into custody for politi-
cal offenses must within twenty-four
hours be confronted with the charges
and allowed to make explanation.
The circular also generally insists
upon expediticng the trial of political
prisoners. This step is the result Of
the tremendous outcry raised against
tho arbitrary action of the local MILL
tia in arresting suspects and holding
them without trial or exiting them
by administrative order. Over TO-
600 persons have been arrested In
European Russia since the govern
ment entered into It's activo campaign
