the opinion that the recent war came at
the right time.
Speaking from the financial stand
point he said, Il think the war broke
out at the right moment, if Japan had
to fight at al. In one sense il was an
economic war. Japan fought for the so
called principle of the equal opportunity
and open door policy of China. With this
principle secured by the late war we feel
confident that Japan will make her own
place among the commercial competitors
OF the world

There are corsets and corsets, but the

CAR DEFIES RADICALS.
Promulgates Fundamental Law Affirm
ing Imperial Privileges.

st. Petersburg, May S.-Another Of
the Kaleidoscope changes in the POI
litical situation to which Russia Is be-
coming accustomed occurred late last
night when, with utter unexpected
ness, the draft of the new fundamental
law, which was supposed to have per
ished with the White regime, was Of
ficially promulgated and made the per-
manent basis of the Russian state, I'M
alterable except on the initiative Of
Emperor Nicholas or his successors.
Published at the present instant, when
the people had been led to believe that
the unpopular draft had been dropped
and when the dismissal of the old cabi-
net was accepted as an indication of
the desire on the part Of the govern
ment to join hands with the national
parliament the news arouses indigna-
ton.
The new fundamental law of the EN-
pire, signed May 8, contains eighty-two
articles dealing with the nature Of the
imperial power, the rights and duties
of citizens, the methods Of legislation,
etc.
The only modification in the ''cOnsti-
tuition" as published which meets with
favor is the elimination Of the pro-
vision empowering the emperor to fix
salaries and pensions of officials, there
by subjecting even the judiciary to the
possibility Of undue financial influence.
All the other changes are in the di-
rection of further buttressing the i'm
perial power, protecting the crown
lands and properties from interference
by the parliament and giving the EN-
peror power to conclude loans indie
pendently should the parliament refuse
to pass the budget
In no economic revolution in the
worlds history has there been so gil
gantic change in the material situa-
ton of such a vast number Of people
as is contemplated in the project for
distributing land among peasants, now
being evolved by the Constitutional
Democrats. the party which will con
troll the douma.
1t is proposed not only to supply land
to all landless peasants, but to give
more to those who rent or have not
enough.
For this purpose It is proposed to
take lands belonging to the crown, to
the czar personally, to the church and
to private owners in excess of the fixed
amount, the public forests to be used
to provide wood.
The amount of land it Is proposed to
distribute can be judged from the pres
emit holdings, In forty-nine provinces
comprising 1,O54,080,0O0 acres the
crown holds 406,OSOO00 acres, the I'M
perial family 19,9S0,OOO acres, the
church 22,950,O0O and big landowners
$50, 10000, while the 100000 peas
ants have 354, 100000 acres, an average
of little more than eight acres per
capita.
