DOUMA'S ANSWER WILL
Be AN IL T|MATUM

st. Petersburg, May 15.--After strlg-
Cling the whole day until late last even
ing over a draft OF the reply TO the
speech from the throne, the members of
the commission OF the lower house post
poned the nnal work OF phrasing the
document until today.
The prospects are that full accord on
several points may not be reached before
the opening OF the house at 2 o'clock and
the therefore the reply may be thrown
into the full house for final discussion.
The struggle has centred mainly on the
sgrarsan plank, 20 which the present
members found that the -recommenda-
tions OF the Constitutional Democratic
convention. though calling for a large
measure regarded the council OF the EN-
pire and ministerial responsible enough.
The debate on the address will be pro-
tracted. probably occupying two days.
Besides the points OF universal amnesty
and abolishment or the death penalty laid
down In the instructions Of the lower
house. the document adroitly introduces
the subject OF abolishment OF the council
OF the Empire and ministerial responsible
fly.
Taking as Its text Emperor Nicholas
pledge in his speech from the throna to
maintain inviolate the institutions which
ne has granted, the address expresses the
hope that this signifies that the country
is on the road 10 strictly constitutional
system. This being true. the parliament
wishes 20 call attention 10 the fact that
the council or the Empire is a wall OF sep
aration between the Emperor and the
people.
Then, advocating a responsibilite minis
try selected from the dominant party in
parliament. the address points out as n
great advantage OF that system the ces-
sation Of attacks on the Monarch. The
iron will behind the respectful wording
OF the address appears in the paragraph
regarding amnesty. which contains these
significant words
There are some demands which cannot
be refused. and this Is one"

WANT A PARADE
OF WORK HORSES
Local HOrsemen Think the Highly Successful Boston
Institution Might Be introduced i'm Providence on
Memorial Day Fourth of July With Equally
Beneficial Results to the Faithful Equines Who
Draw the Load

There are probably any number OF citi-
zens who would be willing TO take an act
I've hand voluntarily 10 insure the success
OF such an enterprise.
To give an idea Of the Boston affair. II
may be mentioned that one of the prime
objects aimed at is TO have conditions OF
entries and awards such that a driver Of
almost any kind Of a rig-bakers. brewery,
candy. coal, etc.--will see that his horse
gets good care the year round, and that
the wagon, harness, etc. are kept In the
most serviceable and best appearing con-
dition.
The aim is to bring about a condition by
which the work horse shall receive more
consideration and his tasks be made more
endursble.
Dr. Charles Il. Wood a practitioner in
this city and veterinary editor OF the
American Horse Breeder, is selected an
nually by the Boston management TO as
sist In the Judging of awards; and IL such
a movement were started here. he would
doubtless lend all the assistance in his
power TO start things along by helpful
suggestions.
other local horsemen and merchants
could be named who would take great
interest in n workhorse parade.

II is suggested by a number OF local
horsemen that a work horse parade on an
extensive scale would prove a big addi-
ton 10 the local observance OF Memorial
Day.
A big entry list has been secured for
the parade 10 he held In Boston, and the
list Is really remarkable one. showing
growing interest In this annual feature.
Other cities are taking up the move
ment, owing 10 the success which has at
tended the exhibition given by the friends
OF the horse in the Hub, who were. pio-
neers in the movement.
Providence has had some good trades
PROFESSIONS but never has anything ap-
preaching a work horse parade been at
tempted.
'Why not have one I'm this city and on
Memorial Day." ask the horsemen.
The task OF preparation would require
some hustiing; but II is believed that a
very respectable parade could be achieved.
Some OF the horaemen. however. say
that IL such a movement were undertaken
and presented 10 the City Fathers for
their endoreement--which they think
could hardly be refused-it might be de-
sirable 20 have II on tho Fourth OF July,

fallow. It is estimated that twice as
much summer fallow will be cultivated
this year than ever before, which will
insure an increase in fall seeding.
