BOUROFF GOT HIS
 IDEAS IN AMERICA
RUSSIAN SUBJECT WHO FLED
 FROM HIS OWN COUNTRY.
He Is a Member of the Russian No. bility-Not a Socialist. But a Believer in Radical
 Reforms,

Chicago, March 31.-The Tribune to-day says: That the recent mani festoes of the czar granting what is assumed to be measure of freedom to the opressed Slavs were the direct result of the work of a Russian sub- ject who fled from his mother coun- try to America, and who Is now re- siding in Chicago, and that basic principles of the new Russian consti- tuition were outlined by this man, who has studied conditions here for the last twelve years, are the claims set forth by friends of Vasili Andree- witch Bouroff. Bouroff, who is a member of the Russian nobility, and who occupied at one time a promi- nent part in the machine of the Slavic government, is confident that he has been responsible for the re. cent reforms in Russia.
 BOuroff, who has just received an A. B. degree from the University of Chicago, declares he is not social ist, an anarchist nor a believer in radical reforms. He has a superior education, having studied in Russia, France, England and the United States. He declares he has the con- fidence of Prime Minister Witte and Count Pobyedonostseff, formerly procurator-general of the holy synod, and through them has influence with the cZar.
 Bodroff has twice fled from Rus sia, and the czar has invited him twice to return and live among his people. Twelve years ago he left Russia again and set out to study the governments of Europe and America. He now has crystallized his views and has presented them to his government for consideration.
 Three pamphlets have been issued by Bouroff's friends in Russia, put ting forth his arguments for reforms, and after the appearance of each one has come, respectively, the "re- script" the first manifesto. and the second manifesto.

THE COMMITTEE
 OF SEVEN SPEAKS
CLAIM IS MADE THAT EARNINGS
 ARE MUCH HIGHER.
Anthracite Workers Make More Pay Than the Bituminous Men-No Ground. They Say. for Claim
 That Wages Are Inadeduate.

New York, March 31-The anthra. cite operators committee of seven to- day authorized the following state ment:
 Some of the bituminous workers who are now active in directing mat ters in the anthracite industry have asserted at times that the wages in the former industry are higher than in the latter. Mir Mitchell has often intimated this, although he has never given any facts to support the claim
 Tt was claimed before the strike commission that the earnings of the anthracite miners were less than those in the bituminous fields and similar assertions have been made since. The commission found that there has been failure of testi- mony to support this proposition It is established by the official figures that the earnings of all classes of workers are much higher in the an- thracite than in the bituminous in dustry. The last report of the sec retary of internal affairs of the state of Pennsylvania contains the facts as to both industries for the year 1904. Quitting in the case of the an- thracite industry the- class of 'em- ployes in the breakers, because there is no corresponding class of employ es in the bituminous industry, the figures are as follows:
 Average number of days worked. anthracite 231, bituminOus 1888; total number of men employed, anthracite 136,445, bltuminous 93,114 total wa ges to all employees, anthracite $S5,- .291, bituminous $40, 133 ,6O4; aver age yearly earnings (excluding break CT employes) anthracite $626.77, bitu. minous $431.02; average daily earn ings anthracite $2.71, bituminous S229.
 ''The comparison of annual earn. ings may be expressed as follows:
 Glass of labor, miners, anthracite, $6S4.7S, bituminous $41S.15, excess of earnings $266.63, percentage $63.75; inside men. anthracite $7S0.5S, bitd- CACCSS VI SdlhiuSs $2SS.43, percentage 5S.; outside men, anthracite $541.62, bituminous $475.36, excess of earnings $66.26, percentage 13.; boys Leverage inside and outside) anthracite $241.31, bituminous $l6599, excess of earnings $75.32, average 45.
 .The average earnings of the. an- thracite miners, therefore. exceed those of the bituminous miners by 63.75 per cent. and the average earn ings of all classes of anthracite work CTS exceed those of all classes of bi- luminous workers by about 30 per cent.
 Under these circumstances there is no ground for the anthracite workers to claim that their compensation Is inadequate"
