ment succeeded in holding only 234
votes, while the various elements in
opposition Clericals, Socialists and

MODERATE NEWSPAPER ;
AT ST. PETERSBURG

st. Petersburg, March ga prom
Using sign Of the times is the appear
ance of serious Conservative Liberal
paper, the ''Strana" Country, edited
by Prof. Kovalensky and brilliant
staff of professors and writer's.
The new paper appeals to the intel
ligent to unite in realizing a middle
program, suited to the needs Of the
country. It declares its conviction on
one hand that reaction would mean
ruin, and on the other that the COM
plete collapse of the present regime
would result in period of anarchy
from which no one can foresee the ul-
innate issue.
The paper also announces that it IA.
vors a constitutional monarchy on q
democratic basis, universal suffrage,
local self-government and the expro-
priation, with reasonable compensa-
ton, of portion of the private land
holdings for the benefit of the peas
ants. The standing of the editors and
their devotion to Liberalism is certain
to give the paper great influence in
shaping chaotic public opinion.

SEATTLE ELECTION WAS
EXCEEDINGLY CLOSE

Seattle, March THE votes Of yes
terday's election have been counted
and on the face of the returns William
Hickman Moore, municipal ownership
candidate, is elected by the narrow
margin of fifteen votes.
The result is a surprise, as Rip
inger, the Republican candidate, was
conceded to be the strongest man who
could be placed on that ticket. Rip
linger money was plentiful, with few
takers even at good odds.
Should the official count overcome
this narrow majority there will no
doubt be contest, as the municipal
ownership men charge frauds in the
First ward.
Mr.. Moore makes the fiat statement
that his plurality would have been
larger had it not been for fraudulent
work done in several precincts, partic-
ularly in the First ward.
Mr.. Riplinger makes no charges. but
says that he would be much interested
to determine what a recount would

REGULATE RAILWAYS BY
Developing WATERWAYS

New York, March 8.-The develop
ment of the waterways of this coun-
try as the best means of regulating
railroad rates was advocated by Con-
gresham Joseph E. Ramsdell Of Lou
isiana in an after dinner speech at the
annual banquet Of the North Side
board of trade in the Bronx.
Water transportation, said Mr..
Ramsdell, lis from three to ten times
as cheap as rail and it should be de-
veloped to the utmost both as q car
rier OF freight and regulator of rates.
Wherever we have rivers, canals and
lakes with good navigation, freiohts
are cheap and there is no demand for
regulation -
He called attention to the cheau
rates in France and Germany as q re-
suit Of the numerous canals in those
countries.

GOVERNMENT URGES
union OF WATER USERS

Washington, March T. Instruc-
tions have been sent by the reclama-
tion service to the representatives OF
the service in the state of Washington,
urging that the formation of water
users association in the Yakima val
ley be fastened as rapidly as possible.
Representative Jones said yesterday
that there is no obstacle now to irri-
cation in the Yakima valley except
the lack of a water users association.
Legal questions regarding the pur-
chase Of the Washington Irrigation
Company's works have been decided
favorably to the proposed purchase,
but the actual contract will be de-
ferred until the government is ready
to begin actual work in the Yakima
valley.

n,LL,oNs FOR DEFENSE.
British r1lnistry ADOPTS Estimates
of Predecessors.

London, March IA memorandum
attached.to the army estimates has
been issued. It estimates the expen-
diture for the current year Of the
army at $148, $50, 900, which is a re-
duction of only $50, 900 on the pre-
vious year.
AS in the case of the navy, the new
government has simply adopted the
estimates prepared by their predeces-
sors. Thus, including $3.50, 600, 600
for the navy, the nations defense bill
is nearly $3.50, OOO, 900, which destroys
any possibility of large budget sur
plus or substantial reduction of tax
alton.
The Liberal papers are disappointed
that the government has seen no way
to effect greater reduction in ma
tional expenditure, which the country
naturally hoped from Liberal gov
eminent pledged to retrenchment, es-
pecially as the cost of the army is now
$50, 600, 900 yearly more than it was q
decade ago.
At the same time it is considered
by the Liberal press that the army
should have rest for year from the
constant projects Of reorganization
which characterized it's adimnistra-
ton under Mr.. Broderick and Mr.. Ar
mold Forster
Therefore, Mr.. Haldane's decision
to consider the matter maturely be-
fore he proposed a scheme to reduce
the expenditure is generally approved
by the Liberal press, and it is expected
that in the course of time he will SUBJ
NIT plan enabling such redcution
through greater reliance on militia
and volunteers

FOR GOODS OF BRITAIN

have passed between Great Britain and

mer's contentious that she should
participate in the privileges granted
to other nations under the Dingley act
in return for the reciprocal concess-
ions which Great Britain has made on
similar representations to other coun

treatment.
Great Britain also takes the GROUND
that, having no tariff, she, of all
countries, should be favorably treated
commercially. It was stated in the
house yesterday that negotiations ON
this subject had been opened with
America This is incorrect. Thus
far only communications have passed.
Washington, March THE state
ment in the London dispatch concern
ing Great Britain g contention for par
ticipation in the privileges granted
other nations by the United States
under the Dingley tariff act, caused
considerable interest here.
What reply may be made by this
government to such representations it
is not possible at this time to say. The
United States has no commercial ar
rangement with Great Britain as with
other countries by which the presi-
dent is enabrled to extend the benefits
of certain concessions in matters.
