GOVERNMENTS AGRARlAN BILL
INTRODUCED IN THE RUS.
SIAN PARLIAMENT.
BUYERS PROMISED FAVORABLE TERMS
PROVIDES FOR PURCHASE OF Es
TATEs WHEN OWNERS ARE
WILLING TO SELL.

St, Petersburg, July 4.-The gov
srnmeut's agrarian bill has finally
been approved, introduced in the
lower house Of parliament and pub
lished in the Official Messenger, a C
aompanied by a sort Of proclamation
to the peasants clarifying the en-
peror's constant solicitude for the
peasants. 1t attempts to show that
the realization OF socialistic schemes
for the naturalization Of the lands,
instead of improving the lot of the
peasants, would result i'll inevitable
misery. AS finally submitted the gov
eminent solution makes the following
propositions:
First-To distribute upon favorable
terms" all the arabic land in Euro
pean Russia to the peasants who have
not sufficient lands.
Second--To purchase for the ac-
count of the state the land which pri-
vate owners are willing to sell.
Third-To sell such lands to the
peasants on reasonable terms, even
II this involves the assumption by the
state of the difference in the cost and
the selling prices.
Fourth-To establish the principle
that new as well as old peasant lands
are not salable to persons not belong
ing to the peasant class, besides ex-
smpting the land from seizure for
debt.
Fifth-To assist Immigrants to
reach Siberia and Central Asia and to
help them in installing themselves
there, not only by allotments Of land
but by the building of government
roads.
Six.h-To make. arrangements for
the sale of the lands the immigrants
leave behind them for the benefit OF
these immigrants; the rigorous i'm
provement of agriculture; correcting
the inequalities in plots of land, ETC.,
and the right of the distribution OF
the land severally where desired.

Colorado Board of Psrdons Commutes
Four Sentences.

Denver-Commutat of sentence
was granted to four conyicts in the
penitentiary in Canon City by the
State Board of Pardons at a meeting
held in the governors Office June 1st-
The persons who will receive clemency
are Lee Bedford, negro; Paul Bilious,
Alexander Norris and E. Il. Sonnan-
stine.
Bedford was sentenced from Pueblo
county by Judge Dixon on December
IL, 1902, to a term of ten to fourteen
years for attempting to kill man OF
his own race. District Attorney Lowe
appeared in behalf of the convict and
put up a plea of self-defense for him.
Bedford's petition for Communication
was signed by the best colored people
of Pueblo, including several ministers
of the gospel. The board commuted
his sentence to four to fourteen years.
Paul Bilious was committed from
Huerfano county by Judge Northcutt,
October G. 1902, to from eight to four
teen years for criminal assault. There
was very little evidence upon which
to base a conviction, 1t is claimed, and
it was also represented that his alleged
victim, seven-year-old Mexican girl,
was not injured at his hands. His
term was shortened to six to fourteen
years.
Alexander Norris was sentenced
from Weld county by Judge j. II.
Boughton, October 7. 1899, to fifteen to
twenty years, for assault. A mistake
was made in the commitment, the SEN
tence twenty to twenty" being not
what was intended to give him. The
board shortened the term to ten to
twenty years.
II. e. Sonnanstine was convicted In
Ell Paso county and sentenced by Judge
E. E. Lewis in April, 1905. to five to six
years, for criminal assault. The
mother-in-law and wife of the convict
worked INCREASINGLY to bring the case
up before the board. The mother-in-
law was present in the governors re-
ception room when the Communication
was announced. The sentence was
commuted to fifteen months to three
years.
Numerous applications were refused.
