ST. Petersburg. July s.-The first para
graph Of the proposed agrarian law, viz,
the augmentation of the lands of the
peasants by the appropriation of all state
and crown domains and church and mon
astery lands, has been accepted by the
commission of the low house with prac-
tically unanimity. The commissioners
have now locked horns over the mode of
appropriation, and the method of dlspo-
sal of private estates, and the end is not
yet in sight.
The determination to appropriate church
lands which, in distinction to the great
estates owned by the monaSterleS. lie
scattered like the lands Of the common
schools in American in small tracts
throughout the country and support the
local clergy, will cause complications.
Such action would deprive the parish
priests of the principal part of their scan
ty emoluments and necessitate an equiv
alent from some other source.

ANIMATED BEAUTY.
Magnificent Pageant Presented
by the Carl Hagenbeck
Greater Shows.

| Fully believing that the circus parade
has become an honored institution in
| the public mind and an event looked
| forward to with keenest ant1cipatory
| pleasure, the management of the Carl
| Hagenbeck Greater Shows, which ex-
| hibit in Butler, Tuesday May Sth, 1905,
has not abandoned feature SO essential
] to complete realization of all circus day
calls for and promises. Rather, there
| has been greater effort than ever before
| to make the pageant of the present
| season more inspiringly beautiful aud
novel than those that have gone before.
With the complete reconstruction of
these newer shows the task became
comparatively easy, merely calling for
| a financial outlay In proportion to that
in other departments. The thousand
people and the four hundred horses
we're sufficient in number. but the de-
mands of the parade designers were for
new floats, dens, cages, lairs, tableau
cars, band vehicles, chariots and new
costumes and trappings throughout. An
appropriation amounting to a small
fortune was called for and made. Artists
who have made speciality of festival
decoration designed the many new
wagons directed their construction and
personally worked out the splendid color
schemes. Expert costumers designed
and constructed the variegated uniforms
and regalia, using the richest clothes
and finest materials. The clothes of
gold and silver and the howdahs with
which the elephants are covered and be-
decked are of Oriental design and
architecture and rich in coloring beyond
description. The tiligreed trappings of
the horses and their bejeweled brides
and head dresses are triumDbs of the art
of the harness maker and silversmiths
Banners and heraldic devices are of
embroidered silks and satins. The en-
tire Hindoo colony of one hundred
forms an Oriental section of pictur-
esqueness beyond compare. Several
bands of musicians, pipers, trumpeters
and numerous clowns add to the general
gayety of the occasion. The animal
cages in nearly every instance are seen
with their sides removed and the rare
geological exhibits in full view. All in
all such kaleidoscope and animated
pageantry has never been seen before.
