ST. PETERSBURG May S.-Anoth-
er of the Kaleidoscope changes in the
political situation to which Russia Is
becoming accustomed occurred late
last night when, with utter unexpected
ness. the draft of the new fundamental
law. which was supposed to have per-
ished with the Witte regime, was Of
ficially promulgated and made the per
manent basis Of the Russian state unal-
terabIe except on the initiative of EN-
peror Nicholas or his successors.
Though the draft of the new funda-
mental law has undergone considerable
editing and numerous minor changes
have been made in ii, in essence 1t re-
mains identical with the project tele-
graphed to America on April "a, which
evoked a storm of anger and condemna-
tlon by the dominant Liberal party.
Published at the present instant, when
the people had been led to believe that
the unpopular draft had been dropped
and when the dismissal of the old cabi-
net was accepted as an indication of
the desire on the part of the govern
luCht " JUN VIII utiNAA"i
parliament, the news arouses still
greater Indignation and threatens to
undo all the work Of Professor Milu-
koff and the other Constitutional Demo-
cratic leaders in the cause of modera-
ton. 'a
The only modification in the ''consti-
tuition" as published which meets with
favor is the elimination of the pro
vision empowering the emperor to fix
salaries and pensions of officials, there
by subjecting even the Judiciary to the
possibility of undue financial influence.
All the other changes are in the di-
rection of further buttressing the i'm
perial power, protecting the crown
lands and properties from interference
by the parliament and giving the EN-
peror power to conclude loans inde-
pendently should the parliament refuse
to pass the budget.

Count Whites cabinet is foreshadowed
and furnishes food for much comment

NOW AT END.

three Year Treaty Old Terms
Rule Some Concessions.

NEW YORK, May Sail danger OF
coal strike for three years has been
averted. President Mitchell and a com
mittee representing the union and
President Baer and a committee repre-
sentlng the operators having reached
an agreement that will be in effect un-
til April /, 1909.
The operators agree to take back all
of the men who went out Oh April
without prejudice, with the exception
of those who personally engaged in
acts of violence. The miners agree to
be bound by the terms of the agree
ment formulated by the arbitration
committee appointed by President
Roosevelt four years ago.
In substance the agreement contin-
ues the old terms, but there will be
some concessions granted the union in
the way of changes in the conciliaton
board. The operators insisted that the
agreement should run for three years,
and Mr. Mitchell after short argu-
ment withdrew his proposition for an
annual agreement or for one to expire
in the spring of 1908.
The conference between the two COM
mittees lasted one hour. At the eXpi-
ration of the proceedings President

Mitchell will report to the convention
this afternoon at o'clock. There is no
doubt that the. convention will indorse
the action of the subcommittee. The
feeling between operators and employ
ees Is better than 1t has been for
months. and the anthracite mines will
be in full operation probably tomor-
row.
