Editorial Correspondence:

Editorial Correspondence:
St. Petersburg, July 20, 1905.
Today we visited the duma. the first
representative Russian congress ever
held. Last year the strikes and the
riots were threatening the throne 50
much that Car Nicholas issued q
proeia nation, or a ukase, as they call
It here, providing for the election OF
representatives of the people TO assist
In the government. He did this when
he and his advisers were frightened
and probably with the intention OF
never allowing the duma any real
power. for the ukase was very hay
and made no specific mention OF the
part the duma should have in the gov
eminent. AS finally announced, the
duma was given the right Of passing
certain legislation proposed by the
car, but without the power Of ln1tla-
tive. A second body. corresponding TO
the English house of lords, was con-
stituted and called the council OF the
empire 1t was made up of mobiles
half of them appointed by the car and
half chosen by the nobility IN some
way The duma met and, as the peo-
pie had generally selected very fair
men. at once began to assert its right
to participate in legislation Ihere
were no real parties, only groups OF
members The largest. having about
the Constitutional Democrats or, as
they are nicknamed, the Cadets be-
cause IN Russian the name Of the par
~ is abbreviated from the sound OF
the words, which are like the English
Then there is the Conservative group
Of about fifty, mostly Poles and Tar
tars; the Group of Toll" about 100,
largely representative of labor com
munities, and the remainder, nearly
half the duma, belong TO no special
group. but ara generally in favor Of
the duma having power but not by
force or revolution. The Constitutional
Democrats control and thus far they
have been careful to avoid the appear
ance Of revolution. but still earnestly
insist on their right to legislate-
The "coancil Of the empire" has as
yet cut little figure. The trouble be-
gan at once between the duma and
the ministry. The duma wanted to
know about some matters and the min
istry told the dume it was none Of its
business. Then the duma investigated
the murder of the Jews at some point
and found that the government Off
Gals had encouraged the outrage and
had lied about it In their reports
Lastly, but most Important the duma
took up what is known as the agrar-
ian question.

The agrarian question is simply this:
Nearly all the land in Russia is owned
by the car, the mobiles or the church.
The peasants in recent years have been
burdened with taxation and have gone
hungry and ragged. The men were ia
ken to the army and the families at
home were starving. Here and there Ia
Russia now the peasants are rioting,
burning, destroying the property Of the
mobiles who own big estates. Every
body admits that this question of pro-
viding land for the farmers is the par
amount one. The duma has a commit
tee working on the subject. Two days
ago the ministry offered a proposition
that the cars land. or a big portion Of
It. should be given to the peasants. OF
course, It was a political trick to head
of the duma, for it would only partial
" alleviate the trouble, and nobody be-
lieves It was meant in earnest But it
sounded well and the government news
papers proclaimed that the autocracy
had offered something while the duma
was sitting around doing nothing. To
this the duma has answered with an
appeal to the people, showing up the
weakness Of the ministry's position and
asking the public confidence.

was present during a part of the
debate on the agrarian question. OF
course It was all Russian to me. The
duma behaved about like our congress
and nearly as well as a Kansas 1egisla-
ture. Better order was maintained al
though the speakers were interrupted
with cries OF louder and only one
talked at a time. The vice president,
Prince Dalgorukov. was in the chair and
he presided well. When a member got
the floor he went forward and made his
talk from q little pulpit which stood
ia front Of the president A good many
seats were vacant for caucusing was
going on among the leaders. The mem
bers who We're present evidently had
their minds made up and did not get
excited. There is a large lobby Just
outside the room and, walking up and
down there, I had nearly all the leaders
of the duma pointed out Including the
boss, for just as often happens in free
America, the real leader of the ConstI-
tutiona1 Democrats, Prof. Millikoff. is
not a member He was in jail for some
thing he had written when the election
was held and one of the requirements
for election was that a man should not
be in jail. This clause kept some Of the
ablest and best Russians out of the
duma but they are here in the lobby

Legend of Dams Rock
H. - L I,,


only few miles from Frostburg,
lying "A little to south of east and of
easy access, is one of the most PIC
turesQue points i'll all Western Maryland.
The view to be had from this outlook
exceeds in beauty and grandeur any in
this part of the country. When on III"
summit of the rock and looking to the
east, the beautiful Potomac valley, cX-
tending for twenty miles or more, Is be
fore the spectator. Backward peak after
peak of the Allegheny mountains rising
against the sky, and two towns, Frost
burg and Lord, are III full view, while
the smoke from several others may be
seen.
The great rock itself one of Natures
towering wonders, consists of huge
bOuldcrS piled upon each other and
stretching for several hundred feet along
ihr brow of the mountain, 2,S9N feet
above tide.
Each wear thousands of visitors 60 up
to this beautiful spot to ENJOY the mag
niticent scenery. Many hundreds 20 at
night in order to be there when sunrise
presents one of the most beautiful scenes
that can be imagined.
How this picturesque point received
the name, Dams Rock, by which 1t has
long been known, is the subject of many
a pretty story. but the one that appeals
to the heart most Is that which follows.
Ii has a great deal of human nature and
pathOs in it. The authors name | do
not know, but the tale was given to me
10y friend several wears ago.
Shortly after Fort Cumberland was
built. and while Cumberland was a mere
village, populated by only IA few hun
