STORM PAST N
RUSSIAN AFFAIRS
Government Believes Crisis is
Over and Iron Rule Will
be Enforced.
NAY APPEAsE THE PEAsASTRY

st. Petersburg. Aug S.-From a
member of the cabinet the Associated
Press learns that the government re-
CARDS the storm raised by the dissolu-
tton of parliament as passed and that
1t intends Immediately to proceed to
carry out the policy of strong handed
reform" to which Premier Stolypin
committed himself. The cardinal plank
of the program is an attempt to ap-
pease the discontented peasantry as
far as possible. The governments
agrarian program, which will not DIFF
fer greatly from the Stinchinsky pro-
ject, will not only be promulgated but
probably will be placed in effect as
a temporary law. the emperor having
the right to issue temporary laws dur
ing recess of parliament. In other
words 1t is the intention of the govern
ment to attempt to solve its most diff
cult problem irrespective of parlia-
ment, in the belief that it will meet
with enough support to make it i'm
possible for the next parliament to
refuse its assent. Appointments to
the three vacancies in the cabinet.
agriculture, commerce and the holy
synod probably will be announced to-
morrow. M. Samarin, member of the
council of the empire. who was offered
the last named post, has finally refused
It, thus ending the hope of securing
the desired cooperation of the lower
house and upper house elements.
Prince Vassilchikoff Of the famous
Russian family, father Of the we'll
known literatuer Of that name, will
probably be minister of agriculture.
Another member of the family was
recently relieved Of the command of
the guard division in connection with
the mutiny Of the first battalion of
the Preobrajenski regiment.

man on horseback was lost while try
ing to warn the inhabitants. ~ mother
and three children at S,r Angelo
perished in sight of a score of men
who were unable to attempt rescue.
The mother was in the upper story

rivers to overflow their banks. Relief
trains were rushed out but were un-

This Year - Equalization
Board in Session.
AT BISMARCK AND
ATTORNEYS PROTEST
Against Raise-Main Line Taxes Alone
Will be Advanced This Year,
1t is Thought.

It Is Thought.
Special to The Evening" Times.
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. S.-The state
board of equalization, with Governor
Sarles at its head, is in session here.
AS usual the attorneys of the various
railroads doing business in the state
are on the ground protesting against
any change, but it is more than likely.
that their protest will be in vain. The
railroad tax will undoubtedly be in
creased this year. At present the tax
is $500 per mile on main lines, and
$4,000 on branch lines. There is rea-
son to believe that the board will make
a decided increase in the tax on the
main lines. raising it possibly to $4,000
per mile, but there is disposition not
to make any increase on the branch
lines. 1t is the branch lines that have
lead the recent marvellous develop
ment of North Dakota. This is es-
.pecially true as respects the northern
part of the state. But few of these
lines are on paying basis, consider
ed as separate propositions:
There is every reason to believe that
many other branch lines will be con-
.structed from this time forward. The
Milwaukee & st Paul's main line will
pass through the southern part of the
state. IS miles south of Dickinson, and
1t Is expected that some branch lines
will be constructed by this company
through the western part of the state,
which is fast settling up. In few
years, the branch lines will become
prosperous and will bear increase Of
taxation
