 ed in St Petersburg
MANY RUMORS ARE AFL0AT
Close of Campaign Marked by Great Activity-consttutio Demo crats Have Good Chance to
 Win Contest.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-Tomorrow theN city of St. Petersburg will choose electors to the municipal congress which in turn will elect six members of the national parliament. The banks will be closed and business suspended generally.
 Many rumors are ahoat that the revo- utonlsts intend to create disorders, and throw bombs in the polling places with the purpose of dlscredting the elections. but the authorities declare that nothing of the sort will take place.
 The close of the campaign was marked by great activity and considerable Nex- citement but these did not compare wita the scenes al former political meetingA Speeches were prohibited, but hundreds of thousands of circulars were mailed to voters and the constitutional democrats employed the expedient of dispatching their reading matter by messenger in or der that it would be sure to reach tho person to whom 1t was sent The news- papers are filled with appeals to the voters declaring that the strength of tho constitutional democrats has compelled the moderates and conservatives to pool issues and that the Oetobersts. progress sive economists, law and order, and trade and industries have put in the field d ''bloc<' ticket. Nevertheless the consti- tutonal democrats claim certain and sweeping victory, and the indications are that they will carry the day. They have announced that their delegates are pledged to vote for six of the following nine can didates for parliament:
 The Candidates.
 NJ l<edrine. well known lawyer; M. Rodcheff. Il member of the executive committee of the bar assoclation:r M. Petrunkevitch, a brother of Ivan Petrtin- kevitch. the zemstvoist of 'rver w.. Ma boukon. leader Of the liberal party: NJ. Hessen, editor of Rech M, Vnevr, M. Petrojivsky, NJ. Fedoron and NJ. Kaarleff.
 The "block" on the contrary Is carefully 1y concealing the names of their parllaf mentary candidates and are contentingl themselves with the publication of a list of the one hundred and sixty candidates to the municipal congress It Is evident | they fear that if the names are revealed, the radicals will concentrate to defsn' 2 them. n
 The Emperor and the liberty and n- tegrty of Russia party" also called party of democratic reforms, has thrown in it's lot with the constitutional democrats. The reactionares. realizing that it is danger ous to be divided in strength have not placed ticket in the field. and will Ae for the block"
 With the exception of the Novoe Nre- mya and the Slovo, which are supporting the "block," all the newspapers have de- clared for the constitutional democrats. The Novoe Vremya viciously attacks tho parliamentary candidates of the constitu- tional democrats, charaeterizlng them as .'renegadesa and Poles" The city of St. Petersburg is divided into twelve 1istricts, each with a single polling place which elects from five to twenty delegates, The polls will be open from a. m. to D. m.

Parties Evenly Matched.

The same will be true of the democratic chairman, with this differences The dem ocrats have received almost nothing from these sources compared with the repub- llcans. In the last twelve years the democratic campaign fund has been al- most wholly composed of individual con- tributions. Everything points to the two parties being more evenly matched from a financial standpoint in the coming cam paign than ever before. This in itself makes the democrats very hopeful of the result.
 Another point of republican concern is an undoubted feeling of unrest among the people-the desire for a change. Old members of Congress republicans and democrats alike, find themselves being defeated for renomination on every hand. In nearly every instance where member of Congress has genuine contest on his hands for renomination the indications point strongly towards his defeat. The people seem to be lining up with the "outs" and against the 'ins."
 It is becoming plainer every day that the republicans need all the confidence the speaker can inject into them.

Matter of Doubt.

Whether the speaker has succeeded in restoring republican confidence may be questioned. Republican congressman pre- dict that the coal strike which begins to- morrow will be settled in ample time to protect the republican party. As far as the President is concerned it is reported that he has no intention of meddling in the strike at this tlme There will be plenty of time later and the President will not fail to take advantage of 1t. Four years ago the operators and miners were not brought together until two weeks before the election, and republican orators were instructed to talk about but the settlement of the strike. The re- suit was the reelection of a republican
 Republican congressman are hoping that the strike will be settlfi this year in time to rebound to ~ r pa. is leantage but there is fear that the miners may want more this time than the operators are willing to concede, even for the sake of the republican party While all the anti railroad legislation.

both park properties will be purchased
