AGRARIAN
OUTBREAK
IS FEARED

st. Petersburg, Feb, En- view OF the
profiund conviction prevailing among the
members of the nobility, members of the
zemztvos and other classes, which are In
direct touch with the peasants that the
spring will witness a renewal OF agrarian
disorders throughout the country on
more deplorable scale than ever before.
the emperor has addressed "A plain, out
spoken mandate TO the peasantry setting
forth that the rights of property are sa-
cred and that the peasants VIII be violat-
ing his will IL they attempt 10 enter into
possession OF private lands
At the same time his majesty has as
sured the peasants that with the coopera-
ton OF the national assembly he Will insu-
tute measures for their relief.
The emperor's words were delivered per-
sonally 10 n deputation from the Kursk
government and VIII be sent broadcast
through out the empire i'm the hope of
counteracting the widespread belief pre-
vailing among the peasantry that his mai
esty had ordered the distribution OF all
private lands and that only the land own
ers and local officials were hampering the
execution OF his will
The emperor on this occasion addressed
the Kursk peasants as my brothers ~
and talked to them I'm simple Russian
terms capable Of being understood by the
most ibnorant peasant. He said: IT am
most glad 20 see YOU. You must know
very well that every right OF property is
sacred to the state. The owner has The
same right 20 his lands as you peasants
have to yours Communicate this 10 your
fellows in the village.
"In my solicitude for YOU do not for
get the peasants whose needs are dear 10
me and I will look after them perpctually
as did my late father. The Gosudarstven-
naia duma national tssembly) will soon
assemble and I'm cooperation with me dis
cuss the best measures for your relief.
Have confidence I'm me. I Will assist you.
But repeat remember always that right
OF property is holy and inviolable.'
Count Eugene TroubotskOy. who pre-
sented the resolutions OF the marshals "
tho nobility 10 the emperor. IN an inter
view attributed the agrarian troubles di-
rectly 20 the revolutionary propaganda.
He expects excuses I'm the spring when
the peasants throughout the empire In
preparing TO take possession OF and sow
prlvate lands will become wilder than
ever because they will be unable TO agree
on n division Of the spoils and will fall to
nghting among themselves The land own
ers now are practically ruined. The con-
vocation of the national assembly Is i'm
mediateiy necessary TO enable the govern
ment 10 raise money abroad. set 10 on tts
feet and enable II 60 carry out It's plans
for the wholesale colonization Of SbcFtV
which Is an imperative measure OF relief.

1t will be recalled that when the pollu-

New York Feb. 2.-The fact that the
Equitable Life Assurance society has for
the last four years insured free the lives
Of Its 900 employees for $1,000 each became
known yesterday
Since institution Of the free insurance
scheme II deaths have occurred among
the employees. and the society has in con-
sequence paid out $1,000.
Paul Morton president OF the Eault-
able, In speaking OF the matter yesterday
said:
when / entered the service OF the
Equitable and learned about this system,
the propriety OF continuing Il occurred to
me. and at a meeting OF the board OF
directors the whole question was brought
up.
1t was decided to refer the matter TO

the system transgresses any law | am not

the lawyers 10 answer. II is q common
practice OF all large corporations nova
days TO carry insurance upon the lives
of all OF their employees"
Vice President Gage Tarbel. who is said
to have originated the system in the
Equitable, declared that when an employe
died It did away with the necessity OF
his fellow employers contributing 10 a

relatives.

Equitable was $lS year per employe.

samples of mud and tho refuse found
draining into the river from the gas
works were secured and analized as well
as samples OF the stun which was spelling
the oysters on tho beds. The shell fish
commission has these samples as well as
the complete report Of the expert which
states that the gas refuse was undoubt-
edly the cause OF the trouble, and these
may figure i'm the suits which oystermen
confidently prophesy will be heard from
very soon.
Although the Rhode Island oyster crop
rs but sma11 one compared TO the sup
ply of the country, It has always rated up
at the top for flavor and general quality
and Narragansett bay oysters have been
much sought for banquets and big func-
tions The spelling OF the local crop would
be a serious matter, however, to the
country as there is a scarcity of the bi-
valves, on account Of the lack OF previous
sets and because of the steady increasing
demand, which is in excess OF the supply.
Nearly every winter there are several
weeks when the ice is I'm the bay and
