IT IS DISAPPOINTING.
New Russian Scheme OF Government
Not What Was Expected.

St Petersburg, March 7.@Although
yesterdays manifesto and ukases re-
Ierr1ng to the national assem- bly, led to
considerable vagueness, regarding the
exact status of the parliament under
the new political scheme of the govern
ment-the vagueness perhaps being in
territorial ana intended for future def
milton according to the deveIopm lent of
eyents-tt is made clear that Russia
has not been granted a written consti-
tuition. The cabinet as in the German
system remains quite independent of
the majority in parliament. The hope
expressed after the manifesto of Octo-
Der 80, that the cabinet would be re-
sponsible to the national assembly,
after the British system, has not been
realized Even interpretations of the
ministers are restricted to alleged vio-
lattons of the law and the apparent
causes Of events.
The government believes it will con
troll the new parliament and proposed
TO fight further concessions to the
radical parties. That it expects to sue
Witte has definitely changed his plans
and will not retire on the opening of
the national assembly. He had fire.
quently declared that his task would
be confined to the tiding over of the
government till the Representatives of
the people were convoked, but having
accom- piished this task the revolution
airy storm having somewhat abated
cided to continue at the head of the
government. His decision is expected
to aid in the negotiation Of the new
foreign loan of which the treasury
stands in urgent need.
Another subject removed from the
consideration of parliament which was
omitted from last nights dispatch on
the subject is the appropriation Of
private lands the compensation for
which is a question which vitality af-
fects the interests of the rich landed
proDrietors and the court and which
might even be interpreted to affect
crown lands which parliament might
desire to appropriate for the benefit
of the people.
The newspapers comment on the
scheme reflects their political com
plexion. The Novoe Vremya considers
it to be the realization of a grand re-
form. while the Russ and Radical or
gans accept it as limitation of the
autocracy, but bitterly criticize its mar
row limits and restrictions. The Russ
demands an explanation of the oath Of
fidelity to the autocrat which members
of parliament will have to take The
list of electors of the city Of ST Peters
burg is completed and shows that there
are 14S,194 votes.

HURD SETTLES 1T.
City Can Pave Kansas Avenue Not
withstanding Repair Contract.

A. A. Hurd believes that the contract
with the Barber Asphalt company for
repairs and reconstruction which the
CITY granted for term of five years
the contract expiring in May, 1907, would
not interfere with the city purchasing
a municipal plant and doing its own
repair work. However, since It has been
generally conceded that the CITY cannot
do the work and that it must be done
under contract the reDavinsy of Kansas
avenue being held as not repairs the
opinion which Mr.. Hurd cites would pro
badly have no effect.
Mr.. Hurd says:
To the Editor of the State Journal
AS the question of the effect of the
existing contract between the city and
the Barber Asphalt company in relation
to repairs of streets paved with asphalt
seems to be of considerable Importance
to the city at the present time, I desire
to call your attention to the fact that
the supreme court of the United States on
January 2, in the case of Knoxville Wa
ter company vs.. the mayor and alder
men of the city of Knoxville decided
that:
"The obligation of an agreement by
a municipality to give a water company
an exclusive franchise for 80 years as
against any other person or corpora
ton is not impaired by the municipal
esta blishment of its own independent
system of WateTWOTks. A
chise is not to be construed by irnpIica-
ton to divest the municipality of it's
powers to construct an Independent wa
terworks system of its own. ;"
In my opinion under this authority
the existing contract between the city
and the Barber Asphalt company in re-
lation to repairs of streets paved with
asphalt would not prevent the city from
purchasing a plant and making the re-

CURB THE OPPOSITION.
Calderhead Faction Votes to Hold an
Early Convention.

Manhattan, Kan, March Ito shut
OF the rising sentiment against Calder
head, the Fifth district congressional
committee, which is controlled by the
the congressional convention on March
q at Junction City, leaving only 20 days
for the opposition to Calderhead to get
itself together, and make a campaign.
Indications are that the Calderhead
organization has things SO we'll in hand
that even in the face of an overwhelm-
ing public sentiment, the present con-
gresham will be renominated.
The Calderhead crowd showed its
teeth-and its poverty putting in W.
II. Donaldson as member Of the con-
gresslonal committee from Riley county.
Some time ago the committeeman 8
place from Riley county was made
vacant. The central county committee
met and by a unanimous vote recon-
mended that the congressional commit
tee select Judge A. NJ. Storey for the
place. This is the customary way, and
it is the usual precedent that the con-
gressiona1 committee follow the county
committees recommendation in select
ing the new committeeman. Friends
OF Judge Storey rested in the calm be-
lief that this would be done. They
were surprised, however, after the COM
mittee had been called to order to hear
the name of Mr.. Donaldson presented.
A slight protest was offered, but the
committee was so completely calder

and Donaldson was chosen This act.

the district should be represented in

be 118 votes in the convention or sixty
necessary for the nomination. The
committee adjourned after only a few
minutes session without the slightest
ripple of anteroom dfscOrd.
About the Gi1ett hotel, where the
committee met, there was considera BILE
talk that Frank L. Williams, private
secretary to Governor Hoch, might be
induced to get into the race for the
It will be remembered
that 1t was announced in the State
Journal that williams has decided to
resign his position as secretary in or

announced his candidacy some time
ago, is still IN the race and repeats posi-
lively that he intends to remain there

expected to announce this week.

that Senator J. E Brewer of Abilene
would also make one of the party Of
candidates, but he he's since said that
he believes he would prefer to remain
a member Of the state senate.

Wheat Inclined to Be Weak on
Selling Orders.

Weather.

Cattle Are Steady to Ten Cents
Lower.
Hogs Also Off From Five to Ten
Cents.

Chicago. March 7.-WHEAT-The wheat
market today was inclined to be weak at
the opening and pit traders generally
were favorable to the selling side. The
fact that the Liverpool market showed no
advance corresponding to the nc increase
in prices registered here yesterday and
favorable weather for the crop in the
southwest were the main weakening in
fluences. Commission houses were tAa
principal buyers. May opened 1s0A to x
&C lower. at 7S5sG7Sszc, sold up to 7Skc,
and declined to 7S1sQ7S5sc. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago repoeted receipts Of
302 cars. against ITS cars year ago.
The close was very weak, the final quo
tations on May were down 14@15scs at
7z1sc.
CORN-The corn market was steady to
day chiefly because of reports of wet
weather and higher temperature. Gables
were frmer. May corn opened a shade
lower to a shade higher at 4S5sQ4Ss4c,
touched 1870. and reacted to 1880.
The close was weak, with May of $50
