81. Petersburg. Russia, May a.
Prof. Milukcli the spokesman Of the
Constitutional Democrats, according 10
q thoughtful article published by him in
the Reoh today, is rather dependent
over the prospect Of staying the tide Of
revolution in Russia He hases his
pessimism upon the conviction that tha
government will not yield fun conati-
tutional regime, with which he says, 10
b. still possible TO calm the passions Of
the people He regards Premier Go
omykin and his cabinet as mere puppets
doing the bidding of tho powerful in
lucnces az court and believes that ln-
poror Nicholas Is destined TO throw
away the opportunity ns Louis XVI did,
of transferring the country to o peaceful
parliamentary regime. This tho pro-
fessor considers 20 be the government q
last chance and that n refusal 10 do 40
will cut the ground from under the Com
stitutional Democrats and strengthen
the revolutionary clements. which arc
preaching that parliamentarism is an
illusion, and make anarchy and a
bloody revolution inevitable. Never
theless. tho Constitutional Democrats
will persovere In their attempt 20 place
the country on a solid constitutional
basis. and IL they fail and disaster fol-
lows the responsibility will not be upon
their shoulders.
The central COMMITTEES Of the Con-
ftitutiona Democrats has completed
the drafts Of tho laws 20 be introduced In
Parliament, including universal suffrage,
| irrespective of sex, and equal rights Tor
all citizens, and laws guaranteeing inn
muniiy Of the person and inviolnhility Of
domicilo without due process Of law and
providing also the guarantee OF habcas
corpus and specifically excluding all
exceptions
While no party at court favors a COM
plete surrender 10 tho demands Of the
lower house Of Parliament, the Trepoif
cabal. which secretly favors dissolu-
tion Of Parliament, Is not strong enough
for the moment TO seriously urge such a
course. The Emperor continues well
disposed. and is supported not only by
many mobiles at the court, but by other
big landed propretors throughout the
country, who now seem fully convinced
that unless the peysants can be measur-
ably satisfied by a compromise on the
land question a revolt Of the peasants
against the mobiles will be aroused, which
will ruin the latter, as the peasants will
forcibly seize their property to the ac-
compartment Of horrors and excesses.
The provincial papers are filled with ad-
vertisements offering estates for sale,
inserted by property owners, who, de-
spairing Of saving their property, arc
ready TO accept what they can get and
flee from the country

Stopped me g Fasf Flrcr. ;,

At a recent dinner at the White
House, the following story, was told
by one of the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present, and who, by
the way, tips the scales at beyond the
observation-disclosures mark:
The Secretary was returning to
Washington from Chicago aboard the
Fast Flyer" that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance of his who lived
at small station about two hundred
miles from Washington, the popula-
ton Of which Is about FIVE hundred.
He asked the conductor Il he could
stop the train for him at that place,
but he replied that 1t would be impos-
sible for him to do so-that he certain
ly would lose his Job If he did. Well,
after much worrying over his disap-
pointment, Mr.. Taft thought of a
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent a message to the superinten-
dent Of the road, saying:
"Will You stop your Fast Flyer" at
Denizien for a large party on way to
Washington? II SO, instruct conduc-
tor to stop today"
About an hour passed, when the con-
ductor, passing through the train.
stopped at the Secretary's seat ana
told him that he would be able to get
of at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for a largo
party going to Washington. The See-
rotary smiled, with that childlike ex-
preston of innocence for which he IL
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
sDenizen. Denizen." much to the sur
prise Of the passengers. Mr.. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform Of the car, where he
was standing when the train came to
a dead stop. AS he stepped off the
train there was no one In sight but
the surprised-looking station agent.
