"sTRoNG-HANDED REFORM"
Stolypin Outlines His Policy in Two
Words.

Words.
, st. Petersburg, July 27.-"Strong-
handed reform" is laid down by NJ.
Stolypin as the keynote of his admin
istration in an interview in which the
premier expressed his confidence that
this policy, with the aid of the innate
patriotism of the masses" and the
army, which, Gin spite of all reports,
is still loyal and reliable will tide
the country over until the convocation
of the next parliament. He empha-
sized, as did Controller of the Empire
Schwanebach on Sunday, the belief
that the outlawed parliament was
neither representative nor capable OF
constructive work. He spoke with
sDecial scorn Of the leaders OF the
constitutional democrats, not attempt
ing to conceal his impression that the
quasi responsibility of the party was
but cover for insincerity and trifing
with Sc worst element of the revolu-
ton. They did not honestly believe
in either a general appropriation OF
land or in complete amnesty. Their
advocacy of these features was mere
ly a campaign cry. The premier stat
ed that the members of parliament
we're not arrested for signing the Vi
borg manifesto, because that merely
would have conferred mild and
much desired martyrdom on them. but
they would be held responsible fox
the slightest. attempt to preach to
their constituents seditious doctrines,
such as refusal to pay taxes or fur
nish recruits to the army.

What "Makes" a Man.

The college that famous man had
been graduated from is very likely to
claim all the credit for his distin'
guished character and achievements.
A portrait of the late John Hay was
presented to Brown university this
week, and, according to the orator OF
the occasion, the Brown of so years
ago must be awarded no end of glory
for having had the young Hay as
student and having given to him its
diploma. If the colleges Of so years
ago were such inefficient places OF
learning and mind training as Charles
Francis Adams avows them to have
been, a difficult problem arises in
awarding to them just the proper
amount of credit for their celebrated
alumni. But however good or bad a
college may be at a certain time, 1t
Is sure to turn out some one who
makes more or less of an impression
upon the world in his after life. Did
the college make him." 1t is to be
feared that some of the credit for a
great career must be awarded to the
mans grandfathers, grandmothers,
and even his father and mother, then
q little more to his training at home
in the early plastic period down
through adolescence, and still little
more to the other schools that helped
to develop him, and finally a good
round bit to the never-ending drill
that he acquired away from books in
the hurly-burly of life itself. What
credit is left may be awarded to the
modest institution where the great
man spent four short years out of his
60 or 70. Really, says the Springfield
Republican, this is not detracting
from the credit due to a college for
q great alumnus; 1t Is merely pro-
test against the college taking all, as
SO often happens on commencement
day, and at alumni dinners.

STUDENT DISAPPEARS.
Son Of Wealthy Kansas Cattleman
May Have Been Murdered.

Des Moines.-George J. Wolberd,
twenty-eight years of age, son OF a
millionaire ranchman OF Cawker,
Kansas, is believed to have been
murdered.
Young Wolberd until recently was
a student at Highland Park. Some
time ago he went to $40 Sixth ave-
nue. to board On the night OF the
10th he disappeared and since that
time no trace of him can be found.
Friends of the missing man rear
foul play for the reason that Wnen ne
disappeared he was expecting a large
sum of money from home. he also
wore splendid diamonds, it being es'
timated that at the time he disap-
peared he had on his person some
thing like $1,000 worth OF precious
stones.
Every effort is being expended TO
locate the missing man.
Young Wolberd was said to be OF a
quiet disposition and was seldom
away from his room excepting on
business trips. He was one OF the
most popular students at the Hlgh'
land Park conservatory.
The theory of kidnapping has beeh
advanced by a number OF detectives
working on the case. 1t is claimed
that crooks knowing of the wealth
of the young mans father probably
caught him while he was wandering
around the city and are holding him
for purposes of ransom. Police ON
Gals, however. do not take much
stock in this. They say that the
age of the young man would MAKE
this plan not worth while and entire
ly too dangerous for the most nervy
criminals. The officer believes that
if young Wolberd has met with foul
play he was murdered for the money
and jewelry on his person.
Wolberd's father is one OF the
wealthiest citizens of Kansas. He is
the owner of about 10000 acres OF
land near Cawker. Kas.. large per
cent of which is cultivated. Several
months ago Wolberd. who is twenty
eight years of age came to Des
Moines. He wished to study violin,
and after considerable investigation
of the different Conservatives in the
city. commenced work under DR.. Heft
of the Highland Park school. The
young man was studious and spent
the greater portion of his time prac-
ticing on the instrument.

st. Petersburg, July 27.--The decis'

strike is still hanging fire. No word
has been received from the revolu.
tionary leaders who again were in
secret session last night. In addition
to other resolutions the condition OF
the crops of the districts is advanced
as a new argument against strike,
as the peasantry would resent the
tying up of railroads upon which they
are dependent for grain to keep them
from starvation. The ministry Of rail-
roads received word yesterday of sew,

bridges and it is believed that the
radicals are resorting to this means
to force the issue.
