RUSSIAN DOUMA TO HAVE
 STOUT STRING TIED TO IT

St. Petersburg, March G-The full text of an imperial manifesto and laws rela- tive to the national assembly and the re- organized council of the empire, the main features of which already have been tele- graphed to the Associated Press, throws a flood of light on the purpose of the gov ernment to keep a firm check on the new Russian parliament and to exclude cer- tain subjects from consideration by the peoples representatives. The compost ton of the council of the empire, or up- per house of the national assembly, with one-haIf appointed by the empire and twenty-six elected from the nobility and clergy, not counting scattering supporters from other classes, seems to insure con- servative if not a pliable majority in the council to block the national assem- bly,, should the majority of the latter be in opposition to the crown.
 The government carefully retains the power to promulgate temporary laws during recesses of the parliament and as the parliament is subject to dissolution by imperial ukase, the government is thus in

position in time of stress to rid itself of an obnoxious legislature and proclaim such laws as it deems necessary to meet the emergency.
 A feature of the law which seems to effectually bar ''reds" from membership in the national assembly. is st provision exacting from persons elected an oath of fidelity to Emperor, autocat and holy Russia.n The most significant article, however, is on retaining certain provisions of an existing law which is mentioned only by number. This innocent looking provision is far-reaching, placing beyond the jurisdiction of parliament and con- signing to existing chiefs of the councils Of the empire, composed solely of mem- bers appointed by the crown, for con- sderation the following.
 l. Reports of the minister of finance upon the state of the treasury.
 ?. Charges of malfeasance against mem- bers of the council of the empire, minis ters, governors general and commander in-chief of land or sea forces.

RECORD OF COURTS

George Wade, who was arrested during the Christmas season on two charges of larceny. was convicted yesterday on one of the charges in the first division of the criminal court It was charged against Wade that he picked the pockets of two men in the entrance to kresS store, in Second avenue. He was placed on trial Monday, but the case did not go to the jury until yesterday morning The jury was out only short time.
 Wade has yet 10 stand trial on the second charge against him. He was not sentenced yesterday that formality usual ly taking place on Saturdays. It is un- derstood that his attorneys. Gibson & Davis, will take an appeal in the ease.
 Judge Aston in the circuit court yes terday cleared up the docket in very short order A number of judgments were rendered in minor causes, several cases were passed to later dates for vari- ous reasons, and it was not necessary for the court to remain in session later than the usual hour for adjournment There are no cases of great importance on any of the docIets in the several courts this week. Almost all the cases gre moro of q personal nature than otherwise; hence little interest is being paid them by the spectators in the courthouse. Many of these cases are heard and completed daily, and the dockets are being relieved of a portion of the congestion as a re- suit. The same applies in the criminal court, when each day a dozen or more prisoners charged with almost trivial off, lenses are being convicted or acquitted. In many instances very small fines are assessed against those persons convicted l and the fines and costs are generally paid within an hour or so after sentence is passed.
 l Discussion has been aroused around the courthouse by the case of Jim Walker, Sr, convicted of complicity in the mur- der of an elderly merchant named Hill some time ago, and sentenced to inn prisonment for life. Walkers son was tried also for the same murder and will! be hanged in the courtyard of the coun- ty jail Friday. according to the sentence of the court The Walker boy has sta'' since his conviction that he lirN

May Be Lenient.

Washington, D. G., Sept 22.-The
president will probably exercise his
authority and spare four or five mid
shipmen now recommended for dis
missa as the result of their miscon-
duct. There are seven cases in all
before the navy department ready for
the consideration of the president.
They come from the naval academy,
and are the first to be submitted under
the so-called anti-hazing law, al
though none of them are in any way
lrelated to that particular offense. In
deed the superintendent of the acad-
|emy says there is no more hazing.
The present culprits are those who
have been guilty of various minor in
fractions of the rules of the institu-
tion. Each has a chance to be heard
in his own behalf and to order what
ever defense he may. Seven of the
cases considered by the head of the
academy were regarded as sufficient
iy serious to go to the secretary of
the navy with o. recommendation for
dismissal an action which must be
taken to the president. The latter will
undoubtedly exercise clemency in a
number of the cases, turning the boys
back one year to the next lower class.
Two of the cases will undoubtedly
be approved for dismissal

Halifax, N. S., Sept. 22.-The dom
inion exhibition was formally opened
today by Lieutenant Governor Jones,
who pressed the key of the electric
instrument which set the machinery
at the exhibition in motion. The ex-
hibition is by far the largest and most
complete ever shown in this part of
the country and is thoroughly rep
resentative of the agricultural, indus
trial, commercial and other interests
of the dominion. In premiums and
prizes the sum of 100000 is offered
for live stock, agricultural exhibits,
mining and manufacturing exhibits
The grounds where the exhibition is
held, are owned partly by the city of
Halifax, partly by the government of
the province of Nova Scotia. They
comprise many acres and contain a
number of modern departmental build
ings, a large grand stand and a. half
mile race track The buildings have
been greatly enlarged and improved
since last year and number of new
permanent structures have been ad-
ded. Purses aggregating $4,000 are of
fered for the race meeting extending
over the two weeks of the exhibition.
During the fair many special features
of entertainment will be offered to the
visitors, including vaudeville perform
ances, military displays, fireworks,
etc. The fair viii close on Oct 5.

.INCITEMENT TO RIOTING
MOBILES WANT TO CHANGE THE
ELECTORAL LAW--IF TERROR
IsTs sTARTTRoUBLE SOLDIERS
WILL KILL TEN TO oNE-Po-
LICE ARE REsIGNING.

st. Petersburg, Sept. ga change
in the electoral law to a corporate
basis to permit representation of the
conservative minority, is being advo-
Gated by the permanent bureau of
congress of mobiles on the ground that
the new parliament, IL chosen under
the existing law, cannot fail to be
more radical than the first. The bu-
reau promises the introduction of pro-
portionality after the first stage OF
the election, the deputies to be ap-
portioned according to the number OF
electors.
The newspaper Obiednieni, which is
circulated freely among the soldiers
and the police, appeals to the soldiers
of the guard to break the bonds OF
discipline and take ten lives for every
comrade killed, should the terrorists
begin a campaign of armed attacks on
the police and the army officers in st.
Petersburg, such as was recently wag-
ed in Warsaw.
The liberals profess the greatest
alarm over this possibility and claim
it is a direct incitement to a repetition
here of the SiedIce disorders ON q
greater scale.
According TO The Rech, one result
of this Fumor of the terrorist designs
is that five captains and six lieuten-
| ants of police and thirty-eight patrol
| men have resigned within a fortnight.

Serious Condition.

Grand Forks, Sept. &c. w. Bur-
ton, who fell from the Great Northern
railroad bridge early yesterday morn

ess hospital. and the vast amount of
drugs that he demands all the time is
the only thing that seems to keep him
from failing more rapidly.
Burton sustained broken back,
shoulder and arm. in addition to sew
eral ribs, and 1t is not believed that
he can survive. He is drug fiend
of the pronounced type, and the
amount that he demands indicates that
he is perfect slave to the habit and
has been accustomed to using greater
quantities than would be needed to
send an ordinary man to the great be-
yond without ceremony.
