FIRST DOUMA BILL
Is SIGNED BY CZAR.
Nicholas Approves Appropriation of
100000 for Famine Sufferers
of Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 1.-THE
emperor last night approved the bill of
the lower house Of Parliament, which
was adopted by the upper house, appro-
priating 100000 for famine relief, thus
supporting the contention Of both houses
of parliament against his own ministers.
This law is the first enactment of the
Russian Parliament and represents the
net legal result of q session of over TWO
months.
Emperor Nicholas has degraded the
Seventh cavalry, which recently mutt
MED at Tamboff, by taking away the i'm
perial standard conferred on the regi-
ment two years ago.
Assassin Was Hebrew.
The assassin of Gen. Kozlov has not
yet been identified, but the Novoe
Vremya declares that his physiogomy
shows plainly that he is of Hebrew eX-
traction.
Party lines are giving way everywhere
to racial ties. The Armenians, Tartars,
GeOrgians and Cossacks of the Cauca-
sus have formed separate groups. The
Poles and members from the Baltic prov
lnces were previously organized. The
Little Russians, representing a great
part of Russia in Europe, also have
united. 1t is said these ties may split
the Russian empire into states, sooner
or later.
Interior Disorders Continue
The daily budget of revolutionary out
RACES and agrarian disorders is larger
than usual today. In many places the
peasants are wantonly applying the
! torch to estates belonging to the crown
and to private forests.
AT Natshatkino in Simbirsk province
the town hall was set on fire yesterday
and the entire village, consisting of
oOO houses, was consumed.
Crop Failure Extending.
The government crop report shows a
continued deterioration in the Volga
provinces and that the partial or total
failure of the crops has extended in the
Tambof, Saratoff, PenZa and Nizhni
Novgorod districts and in some districts
OF the Don, where the rains came too
late to save the crops. AN abundant
yield, however, is assured in the west
considerable isolated damage has beer,
done by hailstorms.
Capital Police on a Strike.
In two districts of the capital today
| the policemen refused to appear for
duty and last night one squad whose
captain was lecturing them on declining
to break up a meeting threw down their
arms and left the station.
| The strike is Ostensibly based on eco
| nOmic reasons, including an accounting
! of the mems savings, which it is claimed
are withheld without interest. The au-
thorities, however, declare that the
strike was inspired by agitators.

TREVES, Prussia, July 17.-Grand
Duke Vladimir OF Russia, after month

three nights ago, by way of Treves and

ordinary train from here instead of ex

through Coblentz safely. but collided

done.

perial order for the formation of new
