When the little engine finally
coughed it's way through the snow and
finally landed us at Hard Wood. and
we walked the plank leading from car
to terra firma, and stepped out De-
tween the long avenue Of men come
down to see the train arrive, we found
ourselves In most unique place. The
village looked to us like a summer re-
sort surrounded by a wintry setting;
verandahed cottages, myriads of bril-
ltantly lighted windows, and snow and
icicles instead Of lawns and vines.
The town lies along a bank of the
Oswegatchie. CAS- to the name Oswe-

 Up Insurrection.

Government Declares Its Intention to Vigorously Repress Future Ris- ings-Witte Urges Moder-
 ate Constitution.

LONDON. Jan. 2.-S St Petersburg dispatches say that the revolutionary societies there have issued a manifesto stating that, in view of the failure of their risings, they have decided to re frain from ordering a general insur- rection at the beginning of the (Rus- siam new year. as such declaration would be likely to intimidate the i'll in- formed and timid portion of the popu- lation.
 The government has declared it's in- tentionvigorously to repress any prep arations for rising and in the event of a general instruction is determined immediately to crush it. The irihabit- ants of St. Petersburg are exhorted not to entertain any fear of an outbreak in the capital.
 It is learned from a high source that Premier Witte is again strongly urging the emperor to immediately promulgate a Moderate constitution for the double purpose of reassuring the Liberals that plNefht dt ltiS uDTo not mean reaction and blocking the at tempt which undoubtedly will be made when the national assembly convenes to transform that body into constitu- ent assembly. Moreover. the plan has other heavy backing. and the emperor is showing an inclination to accept if. The premier is understood to have in- formed his majesty that such an act would be master stroke at the pres ent tuncture and might rally the whole body of conservative and liberal opin- ion to the side of tho government.
 A close friend of the premier has predicted that the struggle at court will end in the granting of a constitu- ton or Witte's resignation.

A PUBLICITY BILL.
Senator Bracket Will Bring

NO MORE SECRET CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Wage Farmers Are Showing an Ac- tive Interest In Having It Pass the Legislature-Win Likely
 Become a Law

SARATOGA. \. r.. Jan. 2.-Senator Edgar T. Bracket announces that among the first bills he will introduce at the opening of the legislative ses, sion will be what is known as the Bel. mont publicity bill.
 This measure is designed to operate for the purification of politics. Sena- tor Bracket said he has received a draft of the bill as prepared by the publicity law committee, which con- mittee consists of Charles A. Gardiner, Edward NJ. Shepard, John F. Dillon, Edward NJ. Grout, Frank $. Black, John G. Milburn. Edward Mitchell, Francis Lynde Stetson, Edward Lau- terbach, Delancey Nicoll, John Ford. John R. Dos Passes, John S. Crosby and Martin w. Littleton.
 T am very confident" said Senator Bracket, that the publicity bill will become law. The bill is the same in purpose as the measure which I intro duced at the last session and which

Last year I had separate bill to the same effect. but it received scant courtesy in the legislature.
 .'Wageworkers are showing an active interest in the publicity bill and are adopting resolutions in their unions and central bodies urging the legisia- ture to enact the bill into law. They have been moved 10 adopt such resolu- tions because their members believe that publicity of campaign contribu- ztioas and expenses will c1s,k corfspS ton and dishonest influences at cleo tions.
 Wage earners have also been prompted to interest themselves in the publicity bill movement ny the written indorsement the bill has received from such labor leaders as Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, and Edward A. Bates. sec retary of the New York State Work ingmen's federation. Assemblyman Palmer will introduce the bill in the assembly"

Pastime for Embrciderer

Embroidering your winter suit is quite a pastime with the woman who has a few minutes a day on her hands. The work is very simple, for 1t re- quires nothing more than the ordinary amount of needle craft. but it must be done neatly and with patience. If one is willing to spend the time one can obtain dress which is every whit as beautiful as the most fash. ionable Paris gown Of the season. One example of this will suffice. A very handsome black broadcloth was stamped with a conventional daisy pattern. The petals of the daisy were cut out and embroidered in eyelet fasnron. This made the English eye let embroidery effect. which sas car ried out all over the whole gown.

CAUCUS AT ALBANY
Vote on Secret Ballot to Fore
 shadow Result.
fRAyCHOT'S STATEMENT MAKES STIR
Superintendent of Public Works Says WadswOrth Cannot Be
 Defeated Even by Use
 of Money. -.

ALBANY, x. Y, Jan. 2.-The test of strength in the caucus of Republican assemblymen tonight will probably be taken not directly in vote upon the candidates for the nomination for speaker of the assembly but upon the question whether the vote on the speak ership nomination shall be secret vote.
 Leaders of the movement for the nomination of James ". Wadsworth, IT,, Of Livingston. who was selected by Governor Higgins as his choice, ad- nit that if they cannot prevent a se- cret ballot they cannot secure Mr. Wadsworth's nomination by the eau GUS On the other hand, the adherents of Edwin \. Merritt, Jr., of St. Law renee changed their previous tactics of claiming that they could defeat Wads- worth even if they could not elect Mer- ritt and began 10 assert that they were certain of votes enough to secure Sc cret ballot.
 That Mir Wadsworth's supporters view tie proposition of a secret ballot with solicitude is evident from a state ment made late in the evening by Su- perintendent of Public Works \. Y. " Franchot, one of Governor Higgins closest advisers Mir FranchOt said:
 There is no change in the situation. An effort has been made by the friends of Mr. Odell. including J. Calvin Nc Knight, recently Mir. Harriman's pri- vate secretary. to commit assemblymen to secret ballot The friends of Mir. Wadsworth are able to put but one construction upon this scheme and that is, the desire on the part of those op- posed to him to use money for the pur- pose of encompassing his defeat.
 Even with the use of money they do not believe this can be accomplished. The supporters of MT. Wadsworth. rep resenting the vast majority of the Re publicans of the state, cannot be in fuenced by any such means
 The statement of Mir. Franchot soon became known about the Ten Eyck corridors and produced profound sen sation. Neither MT Odell nor Mir. Me Knight would reply to or comment upon it. but Senator Malby said:
 T should say in reply to the state ment of Mr. FranchOt that it is the policy of this state in the interest of honesty to have a secret ballot. 1nas much as the executive. his superintend- ent of public works. Mr. Franchot. and other members of his administration have sandbagged every assemblyman from Montauk Point to Niagara Falls to secure his vote for Mir. Wadsworth, justice and prudence demand that these men should for once have an op- portunity to vote as they want to.
 As for the use of money, the charge comes with i'll grace from candidate q who is himself several times million aire.''
 State Chairman Odell has arrived. but had little to say except that in his opinion Mir. Merritt was steadily gain ing in strength and would secure the nominaton. Mir Odell announced that he would say nothing for publication.
 The attitude of the members from Greater New York is regarded by both sides as exceedingly important, and the indorsement of MT. Wainwright of westchester at the conference there is the subject of much discussion.
