 LaberaIs From Nofing.
 st. Petersburg, March iT.~-CharGes of interference on the part of the slo- cal police officials to prevent free ex- pression of will by tho peasants in tie primary elections to the country elections afe increasing.
 The Nasra Shisn says 1t has fnves- tigated the rural elections in St, Petersburg province and alleges that the authorities everywhere forbade popular meetings called by liberals but did not interfere with meetings called by priests and other reactionaries. Tn many places the peasants were afraid to vote on account of the police at the polls.
 Hundreds of representatives Of the liberal parties were arrested and In some cases there were even military demonstrations The government agents openly threatened the peasants with repressions if certain persons were elected The peasants from three districts have sent telegrams of pro- test to Emperor Nicholas. One of the peasant districts drew instructions to its delegates to vote for the 'expropria- ton of crown and state lands and a portion of the private lands.
 The Nasna charges that the results of the elections were due solely to repression. While the returns gem erally show a large proportion of priests and village elders elected, In some of the provinces especially in the west, the peasants displayed great independence at their meeting and talked only of division of lands. The hostility toward the noblemen and big landlords was intense and they defeat ed all the priests and village officers.

AGITATION
 AGAINST JEWS Reactionaries Active in
 Russia. z lTTE PROMISES PROTECTION Will Endeavor to Squelch Anti
 Semitic Outbreaks. It is Made Evident that Hostility To- ward the Hebrews Has Been
 Checked Only and Not Per-
 manentIy Stopped.

St. Petersburg. March 17.--There is already evidence that only check and not defeat has been administered to the reactionists who are conducting the anfi-Semitic agitation.
 Premier Witte, after he had forced a decision of the Cabinet to suppress the agitation knowing the audacity of his opponents took the precaution private- | ly to ask the Jewish leaders to notify him instantly whenever the Jewish in
 habitants of any locality were threat
 ened in order to place him In posi- ton to insist that measures be taken to protect them.
 The Jewish leaders, however, now
 charge that the reactionary clique, with the connivance of sympathetic local government generals are boldly ar ranging to block such warnings. The leaders claim to have proof that or ders have been given at special places,
 specifically citing vitahsk, West Rus
 sia, not to transmit messages to the
 Premier warning him of the imfninence
 of trouble. It Is further charged, but
 proof is lacking. that this was done with the knowledge of Interior Min , ister Durnovo.
 It has been established that Count
 Podgorichanie, chief of the gendar-
 merle of Goniel. West Russia, who arm ed a mob there. while ostentatiously
 dismissed by NJ. Durnovo. in reality was l only transferred to better post of Yalta, Crimea,
 Tn spite of the official denial of the
 shooting of undesirable refugees sent
 back to Russia from England, private information has been obtained tend ing partially to support the charge.
 Many of the refugees were. sent to Bal tic ports, where the authorities are showing no mercy to revolutionists de-
 spite the Emperor's instructions to dis play greater lenfency.
 When the refugees disembarked, hav- ing fled from Russia without pass ports, they were regarded as suspects
 and some of them were given short shrift.

Interference tn Mexico.
 Washington. March 17.t-The State Departmenti has reported to the friends of Finstad and Coughenor, the Ameri- cans just sentenced at Chiahuahua. Mex, to twelve years imprisonment for the killing of the Americans Ruth erford and McMurray at Diaz, that It has found nothing so far in the pro- ceedings in the Mexican courts to in- dicate that there has been any denial of justice, and on no other ground could tho Department undertake to in- terferes with the execution of the sen- tence.
 The fact Is that Finstad, in whose case many Californians, including the two Senators, have interested them selves, Is not an American citizen, put a Norwegian and the only cause for action on the part of the state De- partment was found in the American citizenship of Coughenor, alias 'Shor- ty." who was servant on Finstad's place
 So the Department instructed the American consul at Chihuahua and the second Secretary of tho American EIn- hassy at Mexico City to watch the developments of tn trial and kep the Department Informed. which they have faithfully done.
