Strong POLITICAL
MOVE PLANNED BY
Willy RUSSIANS
WILL GIVE LANDED INTERESTS
IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
why DUMA WAS DOOMED
Believe In This Way the Policy of
The Government May Be
Upheld.

st. Petersburg, August 1.-THE real
intention Of the government when il
dissolved the lower house of parlia.
ment, as revealed by member of the
cabinet to the Associated Press this
afternoon, shows that Premier Stoly,
pin at least intends to pursue and hold
an affirmative policy amounting virtu.
ally to determination on the part OF
the administration to settle the agra.
rian question according to its own
light, and irrespective of parliament
and then go to the country upon this
issue.
The government expects to rally moi
only all the landed interests but the
mass of the peasantry to its aid by
actually giving the latter some imme-
date relief instead of merely holding
out hopes of more advantageous set
tlement in an indefinite future, which
has been the stock in trade of many
reformers. Politically this movement
may prove very strong. Actual be-
stowal of lands, even if in smaller
quantities than expected, and the divi-
sion of communistic divisions will, ii
is believed, make the peasantry dis
inclined to vote candidates to the low
er house who might prospose to tally
different solution to the question
But, above all, individual possession,
the government calculates, will incul-
cate that very respect for property,
the lack Of which, under the system
of communistic holdings, has made
many peasants such easy converts to
the theory of naturalization OF land.
The crux of the question is its finan-
cial aspect. 1t will be a herculean
oneration to find the funds required to
purchase private holdings, which the
proiect of Minister of Agriculture
Steechinsky contemplates acquiring
through land banks, even though the
owners under spell Of agrarian dis
orders, are ready to sell at moderate
prices. The character of these dis
orders has been shown again IN DIS
patch from Poltava, describing the
destruction of an estate owned by
Prince Kotchuby, whose breeding stud
Of 23O horses and more than 60V
sheep, were locked in burning build
ings and wantonly left to perish. The
government is holding to strict ac-
countability responsible officials OF the
government institutions which were
affected by the strike. Director Suvor-
of Of the large printing establishment
attached to the Official Messenger.
where the compositors struck Monday,
has been discharged, and the minister
of railways has demanded the resigna-
ton of Superintendent Laurence, Of
the Ironhoff' railroad, for permitting
the strikers to interfere with the traf-
fic on his road. That there is contin-
ued preparation among revolutionaries
for an armed uprising in the south,
is believed to be indicated by the in
Perception by police of shipments OF
arms and ammunition, Including ri
fes and sabres, at Poltava and Thea
desa.

RIFLED SAFETY
DEPOSIT BOXES
BANKER STENSLAND NOT ONLY
BREAKS LAW, BUT VAULTS.
GONE TO CANAD A
President and Cashier of Chicago
Bank Declared Fugitive-Vice-
President Arrested.

Chicago, Aug. Theodore Stems
land, vice-president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, was arrested late
this afternoon on a charge of violating
the banking laws of the state. Earlier
in the day the institution was placed
in the hands of a receiver, and Paul
o. Stensland, president of the bank,
and father of the president, to-
gether with Cashier Herring, were Of
ficially declared fugtives from justice,
and their personal descriptions placed
in the hands of police throughout the
country. This action was taken by
the authorities after developments to-
day had showed that the finances of
the failed institution were in deplor-
able condition and had been for a
number Of years. Besides the discov-
cry of many Irregularities in the man
agement Of the bank, it was also
found that even safety deposit boxes
owned and rented by the bank had
been tampered with and rified.
The specific charge an which Theo-
dOre Stensland was arrested was that
of having accepted deposits to that
bank when he knew that the institu-
tion was insolvent. The arrest was
made in the Office of Chief of Police
Collins, where Stensland had gone to
confer with the head of the police de-
partment.
Later in the day, Jacob J. Kern,
former states attorney, signed bonds
for $1,000 for the release of Theodore
Stensland. Promises held out yeser-
day that the elder Stensland would
appear in Chicago today were unful-
filed, and it is the belief of the police,
based upon dispatches from several
norther cities that he has fled into
Canada. Cashier Herring is thought
to have reached the Dominion by an
other route.
Today's developments were produc-
tive of the first ray of hope for deposit
tors, who yesterday believed their saw
ings of years were swept away in the
wreck. David R, Forgan, vice-presi-
dent of the First National bank, and
one of those to whom statutes of de-
funct banks affairs had been barred.
declared that probably 20 cents on
the dollar would be paid in final ad-
justment The affairs of the bank are
said to be in almost hopeless tangle,
and new Irregularities are being dis
closed as the examiners go deeper into
the books. President Stensland loaned
money to himself, it is alleged, by sub
terfuge of having employees sign the
notes. Specific instances came to light
during the day of looting safety de-
post boxes. o.
The belief that Stensland has made
his escape into Canada is supported
by report from Superior, Wisconsin.
that Sergeant of Police Darwin Icoon,
of that city, saw the missing banker
on a Duluth-Superior car, enroute to
, Superior. Another dispatch from Su-
perior from Chief of Police McKeenan
tended to show that Stensland made
his way to Canada by boat from Du-
luth. Cashier Herring is thought to
have reached the line by way of De-
troit.

A. J. Stough's Ranch, April 20.-The
Waite, Elliot & Peck ranch house
situated on the old Fort Benton Stage
road, about % miles northwest of
Lewistown, was entirely consumed by
fire about 3 p. m. April 18th.
Mrs. C. V. Peck, who was stopping
at the ranch with her husband, was
away from home, as were all the help,
with the exception of the cook, who
it seems had built up fire in the
kitchen and had then gone over to the
bunk house and laid down, the fire is
supposed to have caught from the ov-
erheated stove.
Mrs. Peck saw the smoke of the fire
from the neighbours where she had
gone and returned at once, but the
fire had gained such Roadway before
she could reach home that she was
unable to save anything of any conse.
quence.

an undisputed title has been secured.
The past difficulty and litigation
caused by mismanagement of the for
me- officials has all been settled and
there is nothing to hinder the proper
ty being worked in a satisfactory
manner. There are four drill holes
pu5 down by the former company and
a. the time that the Kendall people
were making Overtnres for the con-
troll three test holes were sunk with
very flattering results. The Kendall
people had made arrangements to
secure majority of the stock from the
former treasurer, but an injunction
was issued at the instigation of the
remaining stockholders which placed
him where he could not deliver the
goods.
The cores resulting from the for

as high as $50 were received. The
average from the numerous assays
made of the results from the entire
amount of diamond drill work was
close to $22. It is proposed to thor
