Stoiypin Has a Policy.
The real intention of the govern
ment when it dissolved the lower
house Of parliament, as revealed by a
member of the cabinet tn the Asso-
ciated Press, shows that Premier Stoiy-
pin at least intends to pursue and hold
an affirmative policy amounting yirtu-
ally to a discrimination on the
part of the administration to set
tie the agrarian question according to
its own lights, and irrespective of par
lament, and then go to the country up
on this issue.
Looks Like a Shrewd Move.
The government expects to rally not
only all the landed interests, but the
mass of the peasantry TO its side by
actually giving the latter some inme-
date relief, instead of merely holding
out hopes of more advantageous set
has been the stock in trade of many
reformers. Politically this move may
prove very strong. The actual bestow-
al Of land, even if in smaller quantities
than expected, and the division of COM
munistic holdings will, it is believed
make the peasantry disinclined to vote
for candidates 20 the lower house who
might propose a totally different solu-
ton to the question.
Figured as Strong Point.
But, above all, individual possession
the government calculates-will in
culcate that very respect for property
the lack of which under the system oc
communistic holdings has made many
! peasants such easy converts to the tho
DRY of the naturalization of land.
Crux OF the Question.
/ The cruX of the question is its finan-
cial aspect 1t will be Herculean OPP
GRAFTON to find the funds required to
purchase the private holdings which
the project of Minister of Agricultm e
Stichinsky contemplated acquiring
through the land banks, even though
the owners. under the spell of the
agrarian disorders, are ready to sell at
moderate prices. The character of
these disorders has been shown again
in a dispatch from Poltava describing
the destruction of an estate owned by
Prince Kotchubey. whose breeding

New York Dec. zZ--There will ,be no holiday strike of railrohd yardmen in this city This much was made known tonight at the .conclusfon of a eonfer- ence between railroad of-csals and rep reseptatiYes of the. employees who re- gently demanded an increase of five cents an hour in wages, coupling with the demand a threat to stop work un- der the cd schedule today. The terms of. the agFeem ent, or nature of the ar- rangemerit entered into. was withheld for a while, the official announcement being only to the effect that an amlea- ble Understanding had been reached.
 The. roads affected had offered an in- crease of four cents an nour and the Pennsylvania road further agreed to make any additional advance the other railroads would agree to. This was not satisfactory to the men and the diff ference of one cent between the offer and demand remaining unsettled. the yardmen issued an uItimatum to the roads stating that unless the increase sought was conceded, tne men would strike today.
 This was the situation when Grand Master Morrissey, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, went into confer ence with the general managers Of the eight roads involved. and the grievance committees or tHG SONSEaA y atN SASHSs The conference continued until late to- night, even after an agreement had been announced. This joint statement was given out:

 When sometime later the. conferees were sti,l closeted, they. were asked to make public terms of the settlement This they refused to do, but It was lat- sr learned that 1t was agreed at the onference to submit the difference of one cent between the offer of the rail- roads and the demand of the men to arbitration.
