anniversary OF EMANCIPATION OF RUSSIAN SERFS
Day Passed Without BOodshed Riots but the Newspapers
Seized Upon the Occasion to Present Their More
or Less Violent Views.

St. Petersburg, March 4.-The expec-
tation in some quarters that the ami
versary of the emancipation of the
serfs today would be cOmmemorated
by an agrarian ukase was not fulfilled
All the newspapers, however, seized
the occasion to discuss the peasant
question in view of the general antici-
patton of extensive agrarian troubles
in the spring, unanimously agreeing
that only legal satisfaction Of the land
hunger of the Mujicks will prevent an
awful Jacquerie. The conservative
journals draw a striking parallel OF
riots which followed the proclamation
of civic liberty and the events that sue
ceeded Emperor Alexander's decree of
personal freedom for the purpose Of
proving that the present political fer
ment is only incident TO the adjust
ment of the population to new re-

The United States senate will devote
most If not all the week 10 the consider
alton OF the statehood BIN with view
to reaching a vote on next Friday in
accordance with the agreement arrived
at last week. There is possibility that
Senator CulbersOn may speak today on
the railroad rata question, but If he
does this viii be the only interruption
OF the consideration Of the bill for the
creation Of the new states. If the Tex
as senator does not speak, either Sen
ator Nelson or Senator Long VIII take
/ the floor in support Of the statehood

to speak tomorrow they viii IND the
opportunity Tuesday. and from that
time forward it is expected that the

ably will close the debate for the OppO-
sition and Senator Beverage for the

Centers in the Foraker amendment and
being made for and against that pro-
vision. Even the friends Of the union
of Arizona and New Mexico admit that
the vote will be close, but the opponents
of that policy appear more confident of
success. Both sides profess to have
assurances from the house friends of
the Joint bill that with the Foraker
amendment incorporated in the meas
ure it will be allowed to die and its OPP
ponents insist that with the addi-
ton made the house will be so eager to
accept it that they viii not even allow
the bill TO go TO conference.
Railroad Rate Bill.
The fact that the railroad rate ques-
ton will not occupy the floor will not
be permitted to interfere with the ac-
tivity on account Of il. The bill is still
receiving more attention from individ-
uaI senators than any other measure,
not excepting statehood, and it will re-
main in the foreground until it is final

on the calendar. The especial question
under consideration now is that as to
whether the proposed compromise

Senator Lodge is still disposed to ask

House Has Little to Do.
For the first time during the present
congress the national house of repre-

giving way slowly but surely.
The Sabbath following the disastrous
storm was a day of funerals. The mer-
chants and residents of Meridian had
never protected themselves with storm or

will have little OF no auditing beyond the

emperOr's act was misunderstood.
The peasants believed the land with
which they were endowed was a free
gift, and when they were undeceived
jubilation over their freedom turned TO
anger, and was followed by uprisings
and riots throughout the empire which
provoked the sternest repression
On the contrary the radical journals
like the new situation and paint a sor-
rowful picture Of the unfortunate peas
ant of the last forty years bound to the
soil burdened by debt not yet dis
charged and subject to the knout. They
attribute the miserable condition OF
the peasants to the incompleteness of
emancipation and ask If the Russian
people are now condemned to another
such period Of misery and struggle be-
cause the grant of civic liberty is IN
