czAR's MANDATE TO PEASANTS
A Plain outspoken Document on Prop
erty Rights.

In view of the profound conviction pre-
vailing among the marshals of the nobility
members of the zemstvos and other classes
which are in direct touch with the peasants
that the spring will witness renewal of
agrarian disorders throughout the country
on more deplorable scale than ever be-
fore, the emperor has addressed a plain,
outspoken mandate to the peasantry set
ting forth that the rights of property are
sacred and that the peasants will be vio-
lating his will II they attempt to enter into
possession of private lands. At the same
time his majesty has assured the peasants
that with the cooperation of the national
assembly he will institute measures for
their relief.
The emperors words were delivered per-
sonally to a deputatton from the Kursk gov
eminent. at st. Petersburg and will be sent
broadcast throughout the empire in the
hope of counteracting the widespread be-
ner prevailing among the masses OF the
peasantry that his majesty had ordered the
olstribution of all private lands, and that
only the land owners and local officials
were hampering the execution of his will
kursk peasants as my brothers." and
talked to them IN simple Russian terms.
capable of being understood by the most
ignorant peasant He said:
ain must SidQ 10 see you. You must
know very well that every right of property
Is sacred to the state. The owner has the
same right to his land as you peasants have
10 yours, Communicate this to your fell
lows In the villages
In my solicitude for you do not forget
the peasants whose needs are dear to me-
ana Will look after them perpetuaIly as
old my late father. The gosudarstvennaia
duma mational assembly, will soon assem-
pie, and in cooperation with me discuss the
best measures for your relief. Have condi-
dence in me. I will assist you. But, 1 re-
peat remember always that right of prop
erty is holy and fnviolable."
Count Eugene Troubaskoy. who presented
the resolutions of the marshals of the no
bility to the emperor. In an interview at
tributed the agrarian troubles directly to
the revolutionary propaganda. He expects
excuses In the spring. when the peasants
throughout the empire, in preparing to take
possession of and sow private lands. will
become wilder than ever, because they will
be unable to agree on a division Of the
spoils and will fall to fighting among them
selves. The land owners now are practical
ly ruined. The convocation of the national
assembly is Immediately necessary to en-
able the government to raise money abroad,
set 1t on its feet and enable 1t to carry out
Its plans for the wholesale colonization of
Siberia, which is an imperative measure of
relief.

Bank Official Arraigns Rich Men in
Strong Terms.

Representatives Of seventy-three Presby-
terrain churches In Chicago listened to a
remarkable arraignment of wealth by
David r. Forgan. vice president of the
First National Bank, who spoke at the
Mckinley memorial banquet of the Young
Mems Presbyterian Union at the City
Club of Chicago recently.
Perhaps you think it impossible that a
mans soul should entirely shrivel up in
the pursuit of wealth." said Mr.. Forgan.
IF you knew some millionaires as we'll as
/ know them you would agree with me
that they had lost the last vestige of the
souls they may be presumed to have pos
sessed before the mania for money getting
possessed them. l would like to acquire
millions, but IL the process is going to
make me like some of the old devils
know who are millionaires l don't want
the money.

for money"

to secure the right of way through
these townships at once. During the

second indictment for rebating $500 to
the American Sugar Refining company,
brought in a verdict of guilty. Before
bringing in the verdict the jury asked
Judge Holt If it was a violation of the
Elkins law in a case where the goods
had been transported before the law
was passed and the rebate paid after
the law was passed. Judge Holt said
that this constituted violation of law.
There was only one count in the sec
ond indictment, and the highest penalty
is fine of $40, 900. In the first indict-
ment on which the road was found
guilty some time ago, there were sew
eral counts, and the road was fined
sos, 600. The American Sugar company
will now be placed on trial for receiv-
ing the rebates.
The argument put up by Joseph H.
ChOate and Austen G. Fox against the
relation of the Elkins law to the indict-
ment resembled, to the spectator with
the slightest sense of humor, nothing
so much as Mrs. Darlington trying to
sweep back the ocean. Able arguments
were advanced by both lawyers, but
Judge Holt told Mr.. Henry L. Stimson,
the United States district attorney who
is trying the cases, that it would be
unnecessary to reply, and proceeded
in a few words to override the motion
of Mr.. Choate and Mr.. Fox to have the
indictment thrown out.
