FREE SEEDS ARE .BANISHED.
Appropriation Bill Is Re
ported Without Big Item.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April "a
The House committee on agriculture has
reported the agricultural appropriation
bill minus the usual item for free seed
distribution. In explaining the omission
of this votegetter for congressman the
report has this to say:
1.-THE item covering the congressional
free distribution Of vegetable and flower
seeds has been. entirely omitted from the
bill. There is not, and never has been,
any warrant of law for this expenditure,
and the item has simply been tolerated
in appropriation bills The original pur-
pose of the organic law. to-Wit, the dis
tribution of rare and uncommon seeds,
etc, for experimental purposes through
the experiment stations Of the several
states. has been retained"
The bill carries emergency" or ITEM
porary" appropriations amounting to
$500. GOO, with which war is to be wagpd

GEAR BRAVES DEATH
WILL GO TO ST. PETERSBURG TO
OPEN PARLIAMENT.
Emperor Really Holds Absolute Control
in Spite Of the Constitution He
Granted the People.

ST. PETERSBURG April 24.-After
much hesitation Emeperor Nicholas has
finally decided to come to St. Peters
burg, greet tho representatives, Of the
people and personally open the first Rus
sian Parliament May 10. 1t was sup
posed that after his long absence from
the capital he would not care to leave
the shelter of the palace OF ISafskoe-
Selo. But Premier Witte and other ad-
visers urged that it would be Il great
blunder 10 miss such I'm opportunity. II
Is rumorcd that Tie Emperor ii greeting
Parliament will announce general am
nesty for political prisoners.
The Gar has retained absolute controi
of the army and navy and foreign reIa-
tons with power to declare peace or
war. lie keeps III his hands the vital
prerogative of declaring cities, districts
and provinces under martial law or III
a state Of reinforced security" mas
much as any exceptional state OF securl-
ty involves the suspension of civil rights,
and as normal conditions have not exist
ed in Russia for years, st. Petersburg
having been lin state Of reinforced Sc
curity" since 1899, the personal Suaran-
tees granted can be wiped out by
stroke of the Emperor's pen.
very important provision makes no
law operative until published by the rul-
Ing Senate. The senate, Il purely pu-
reaucratic institution. therefore becomes
the judge of the ''consttutionality' OF
the acts Of Parliament. Immunity from
arrest and doniiciEiary visits, etc, are
spoiled by many exceptions. The right
of freedom Of residence, which seems
freely granted, is subject to the existing
regulations" This, of course. leaves the
Jews confined to the pale and the peas
ants chained to the globe, unless Parlia-
ment later changes the existing regula-
tons.
There are restrictions against Parlia-
ment interfering with the expenditures
for the court o. other allowances of the
imperial family unless they exceed the
amounts included in the budget of 1906,
and interpretations Of ministers are
strictly confined to violations Of the law.
A suspicious feature in connection
with the Emperor's power to dissolve
Parliament and order now elections is
that no provision is made for fixing Il
time within which the new Parliament
must be convened

ASSASSIN TRIES
TO STAY LOUBET [.
Former President OF France Has a Mar
row Escape from Being
Mu Tered.

PARIS. april pa dispatch 20 The
Journal from Monteimar, department of
the Drome. today says that the authori-
ties there found bomb to which a
burning fuse was attached on the Win
dow sill of the library Of former Presi-
dent Loubet's villa, where he and his
family are spending their Easter yaca-
ton. The fuse was eXtinguished and 1t
was found To be of deadly make.
The strike element is increasing i'll
France with the approach of May day,
when the authorities apprehend serious
general movement.
About 5000 persons employed IN the
yewery trades and 1000 employed in the
paper industry today joined the book
printers here who struck work some time
ago. The leading establishments are
guarded by troops.
1t is no longer possible to doubt that
the next few days will involve a serious
crisis in the domestic affairs of France.
The industrial agitation is fast assum-
ing revolutionary tendencies and the
problem before the government has
reached a grave phase. which those in
authority fully recognize.
The resort to military force. which will
now inevitably lee accompanied by Sc
rious bloodshed, involves perilS to the
government, of which the ministers are
fully aware. They are disturbed also
by information that May day may be
marked by ugly Anarcnistic outrag es de-
signed to terrorize the population. Ev-
cry preparation IS being made for the
dangers which arc expected TO culminate
on that day. The political opponents of
the cabinet are urging the government
to suppress disorder by the ruthless use
of troops. Tie design obviously is to
render the government unpopular on the
eve of the election. which will begin on
the Sarrien ministry is therefore most
difficult. and il will require all of Mr..
Clemenceaps greatest ability to carry
the ship of state safely through the
storm.

According to Consul General Guen- ther the celebrated works of Krupp at Essen, Magdeburg, Kiel. Amen, and at their ore and coal mines had, on April 1, 1906, in their employ 62,553 persons, of whom 5,O65 were officials and clerks, against total of 55,S16 employees in the year before. The company's principal plant and ac- cessories at Essen consumed as much water in said year as did the entire city of Dresden, which latter has a population of over 100000 inhabitants The gas made and consumed by the single cast-steel plant at Essen ex- ceeds the gas consumption of the city of Elberfield. Besides this, the cleo tric plant of said cast-steel works SUD- plies 1,651 arc lamps, 15.3H in- candscent lamps, and. 763 ss electric motors. The average daily wage paid in 1905 to the workers in the cast steel plant was sL22 per person, which is about 51a cents more than was paid in the preceding year.

Speaking of the attempt of Presi- dent Roosevelt to throw bouquets at the work of the last congress Wash ington writer tells some of the things that it did not do: It rejected the La Toilette amendment to the railroad rate bill, a proposition endorsed by organized labor. defining the liability of employers for injuries to employees while engaged in the performance of duty; and passed a separate bill, op- posed by organized labor. deeeitfully styled the employers liability bill" It rejected an amendment to the rail- road rate bill to provide for excluding watered stock from the valuation put upon railroads by the Interstate con- merce commission Tn determining reasonable compensation for capital invested. It rejected another amend ment to the same bill. intended to pre- vent judges having a personal interest in railroad cases from sitting in judg- ment in such cases It rejected the Bailey amendment to the same blll intended to prevent federal judges from enjoining. restraining. or setting aside orders of the Interstate com merce commission fixing reasonable rates. It rejected the immigration bill If defeated the Beveridge amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill requiring the beef packers to pay eI- penses of federal inspection. and placing the cost of such inspection on the tnx payers. It rejected a bill to untax building material for stricken Frisco. and the republicans of that state have since endorsed such a bill. This congress has appropriated more money for the army and navy at one session than any other congress ever did at one session Tn time of peace s1O2. .O91.6TO for the navy and S7I.- s1T.165 for the army.
