ST. Petersburg, Oct. l0.-Russla prop
ABLY will never have another meeting OF
the douma.
In circles close to the government tne
opinion prevails that the douma Will mel

enough in view OF the loss OF innuence
sustained by the constitutional demo-
cratic marty through its back down IN It's
national convention meeting in Hels'Dg'
fors to attempt a resumption OF arbi'
trsry rule.
II is estimated that in two days, since
the action of the constitutional demo
cratic convention became known, the
government has gained greater prestige
than it has had at any time within Two
years. The hopes Of the people general
" have been shattered by the conven'
TONS abandonment of strong opposition

Leather Association of New York and
vicinity held its third annual dinner
Thursday night. The chief speaker was
A. Augustus Healcy. first vice presi-
dent of the United States Leather Co.
lie said the tariff on hides would make
the footwear of Americans increase in
cost while it hampered the exports of
manufactured leather.
Our expansion would be larger at
nome, he went on, eff we were not
handicapped at home. The United
States does not and cannot produce
more than two-thirds of the hides
needed by our manufacturers.
I'VE are handicapped in the markets
of the world. South American hides are
bought at the greatest disadvantage.
Our neighbors in Canada prosper at
our expense and our shoe manufacture
ers are in especially distressing co,.di-
ton.
"The shoe manufacturers have been
greatly troubled Of late. These duties
have caused such an advance that they
see nothing but loss unless they raise
the price of Shoes"
