Emperor Determined.

The emperor's determination TO abide by
his promises of October 30 was announced
finally and resolutely in answer to a re-
dictionary delegation from Ivanovo-Vozne-
sensk which asked him to withdraw his
manifesto and TO govern the country as his
fathers had done.
In reply to the deputation the emperor
said
The reforms promulgated October 30 are
progressing without deviation. While the
rights accorded the people remain unal-
tered, my autocratic power will ever re-
main as II always has been"
The emperors allusion to the retention
of autocratic power refers probably 10 a
change in the definition of the imperial
powers under the fundamental law, in
which though the word unlimited Is
eliminated, the expression "autocrat' is re-
tanned, the official explanation being that
the title 'autocratic." which was assumed
when Russia shook off the Tartar yoke.

1905, there was net overdraft of SlS3.-
6S3.3l, while for the same date IN 1906
there was net overdr3tt OF S24, ,O22.6
The increase overdrait of this year,
however. is more than offset when II ls
taken into consideration that during the
present year $4,000 was paid ont to
meet obligations that were assumed the
previous wear, or during the Morris ad-
ministration. Adding this amount 10
the overdrsft that tine year 1905 shows,
as it. should be done, the figures for
that year would run up to 1903, 900.
Also this same amount should be de.
Quoted from the overdratt for this year,
which would reduce the amount TO
sl44, 900. Subtracting that amount
from the S263,000 shows balance in
favor of this year Of about $4,000,

in 1905, the court not being in full op-
Grafton, the expenditures were but s612,
The present administration has also
been called upon to pay interest on
water and sewer bonds amounting to
$4,000, while in 1905 there was no ex-
pcnditure of this sort.
In the matter of receipts, one item
alone shows a decrease this year of over
SEQ, 900. 1t is that of the receipts from
criminal fines. In 1905, S31. 1906 was
paid INTO the city treasury up to Sep
tember from this one source. This year
gambling has been closed up and the
criminal element run out of town. and
tho receipts from tins source have been
but $10,Dl9,90.
