The officials OF the District have. for
the second time in fifteen years. been

sibly secure lighter work at better pay
than that OF the District government

The Event viii Be Attended With q
Lot of Ceremony and Pomp Czar

! St. Petersburg, April 24.-After much
hesitation Emperor Nicholas has finally
decided to come to St. Petersburg to
greet the representatives of the people
and personally open the first Russian
parliament May 10.
His decision comes as surprise as
it was supposed that after his long alb
.sence from the capital he would not
dare to leave the shelter of the palace of
2Tsarskoe Selo. but Premier Witte and
other advisors urged that it would be
"a great blunder to miss such an op-
.portunity. ....
A most elaborate programme for the
opening of the parliament has been pre-
pared. The ceremony will be attended
by pomp and circumstance be6tting the
event. Imperial heralds will pass through
the streets sunmoning the representa-
.tives of the people and an imposing
military escort will accompany the en-
.peror to the Tamide. palace, where the
parliament will assemble. -~--
1t is rufnored that general amnesty
will be granted political prisoners.
