State Senator Charles Mcdonnell of
Sweet Grass county has been SEN
fenced by Judge Wolverton in the
United States court to spend "a no urs
in the Lewis and Clark county Jail and
to pay fine of $3.50 for illegal fencing
of public lands in Sweet Grass county

His partner, Edward Veesey, received
a similar sentence and fine. Both
pleaded guilty.
1t is estimated from the number FL
ing upon lands in the Crow reserva-
ton that only about II per cent of the
total number of those who drew win
ming numbers will take advantage of
their rights and select land. Only rs
of the fourth group of 125 persons ap-
peared and have selected lands. The
reluctance to accept the lands is be-
lieved to be due to the high price to
be asked by the government for the
use of irrigating water.

Gar ISSUES UkASE
RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT DISSOLVED
BY EMPEROR NICHOLAS.
Ministers Report Public Safety in City
and Province of St. Petersburg as In
secure-Russia Is Now Back Where
She Was Two Years Ago, in Hands
of Autocracy-Uprisin Looked For.

Russia's first experience in parlia-
mentary government came to an igno-
minious end Sunday night, when an
imperial ukase for dissolving parlia-
ment and providing for the convoca-
ton of it's successor on March 5, 1907,
more than six months hence, was pub
lished. There is also a measure of
safety to provide for the outbursts
which undoubtedly will follow the
news of the dissolution of parliament.
The text of the latter follows:
I'm consideration of report of the
council of ministers, presented to us
regarding the necessity in the future
for the preservation of order and pub
lie safety in the city and province of
St. Petersburg, we consider it neces-
sary to declare in the above city and
province, instead of the state of rein
forced security which now prevails
there, a state of extraordinary secu-
rity. The project of the city and the
governor of the province are intrusted
with the rights thereto appertaining.
'The ruling senate will not fail to
take proper measures to place this
into effect. (Signed) Nicholas"
With these pithy, but momentous
orders, which were promulgated at
O'Clock Sunday a. m. Emperor Mich
olas, by stroke of the pen. set Rus
STA back to where she stood two years
ago, in the full grip of the autOcracy
and irresponsible government, wiping
out for six months at least the whole
structure of parliament erected at
much cost.
There is little doubt that the order
for the new convocation of the new
assembly will still further postpone
the time unless the new parliament
promises to be more amenable than
the present.
The delay in fixing the time for the
new elections seems to indicate a de-
cision to change the present basis of
suffrage to perhaps basis of univer-
sal suffrage with which the advisers
of the emperor hope to swamp the ed
ucated liberals, the socialists and the
workmen with the vast mass of peas
antry The only uncertainty is the
coming stOrm-wherever it will break.
The advocates of the mailed fist be-
lieve that by dissolving parliament
and provoking a collision now they
will find the revolutionary leaders not
prepared for an uprising, as at Mos
COW, where further delays would give
the revolutionists time needed to or
ganize and to continue the corrupt
rractices in the army.
