EMP PE|:R0R Will
GIVE CITIZENS
AUDIENCE
The Visiting Delegation Have
These Assurances From
Witte.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 8.-A delegation
of citizens of Ekaterinoedar, Caucasia,
sent to st. Petersburg to obtain the
emperor's personal assurance that the
land question would not be settled by
the present government but by the
national assembly,, was received In au-
dience by Premier Witte yesterday.
An interesting account of the inter-
view was published today. The pre-
.mier pointed out that the agrarian
problem could not be solved by divis-
ion of the state lands alone, amount
ing to only 100000 acres much Of.
which is forest land. The peasants
must be prepared to buy private lands
on the easy installment plan as pro-
vided by the imperial ukase of Novem-
ber last. The spokesman of the depu-
tation replied that the peasants did
not wish to buy land but were deter
mined to receive it as a gift from the
government.
At the close of an informal discuss
sion the premier thanked Heaven that
the conditions In Russia were differ
ent from those prevailing in other
countries. He said, according to the
published report. that French presi-
dent was dependent on the electors
and an English king on Jewish bank
ers. but the Russian emperor was in
dependent. The consummation desir-
ed by the revolutionists that the coun-
try be ruled by Poles, Armenians and
Jews would not be realized. The pre-
mier is said to have added:
"The greatness and happiness of
Russia are due to the emperor. With
out the emperor you who wear long
coats and high hats would still be
peasants"
The premier is rerorted to have re-
marked in conclusion:
IF only it had not been for this un-
happy war, If only victory had been on
our side, all would now be well, but
God did not so will It,"
At the conclusion of the conference
the premier promised the delegation
that they would beYreceived in audi
ence by the emperor. He gave the
same pledge to deputations of Buriats
"a Mongolian people living chiefly in
the government of Irgutsk and Trans
Baikalia) who arrived here to demand
special representation in the national
assembly and permission to live in
their old condition of nomadism.

FAMOUS CASE
OF MAG0NE
SETTLED
Nine Years Effort to Secure
Big Damages a
Failure.

Butte, Mont, Feb. S.-The findings
in chancery Oliver T. Crane in the
noted case of Hugh Magone against
the different smelling and mining COM
panies of Butte and Anaconda were
returned yesterday, finding practi-
cally for defendant companies on the
ground that the damages sustained
from the pollution of streams into
which tailings from the smelling and
mining plants had been dumped In
turn being deposited OF the farming
land in Deer Lodge valley was more
than Offset by the general good re-
sulting from the operation of the
smelters, which the action of Magone
sought to close. The time consumed

months being consumed in the taking
of testimony. The transcript embraces
about seven million words.
