The first session of the first na- tional parliament ever assembled in Russia has met its Waterloo. It is not an encouraging beginning, as ii does not auger we'll for the future. The inflammatory appeals sent forth will but make the situation which already was alarming more serious still. Cable dispatches have told us of the burning of estates by peasants who are but repeating what was done by the French peasants in the initial stages of the French revolution. Reading these dispatches one is re- minded forcibly of the descriptions of similar scenes given in the pages of Carlyle and Taine. says one writer. Whilst the midnight skies are lit up by the burning homes of the Russian nobles the dead walls of Russian cities are placarded with infamma- tory anarchistic appeals to the worst passions of the people. Here is one of these manifestoes issued at Baku: "It is the spirit of holy ven geance which calls upon you to de- stroy all enemies of the people. Let the bomb and the bullet carry death to the parasites and executioners of the people, and establish anti-bOur- geois terror. The time has come to unfurl the black flag of anarchy.

WOULD LIBEL MOTOR CARS.

Having had plenty of experience of the disadvantages of barren judg- ments can deeply sympathize with those who get such judgments against motorists. One way in which the effects of a judgment may be defeat ed is by the defendant being penni- less. Such a one may have hired a motor for a day. Other methods well known to lawyers are debenture policies. bills of sale. and. above all. inc ever blessed creation of Chsneery. the marriage settlement.

The International American con- ference at Rio Janeiro, in which our government is represented by dele- gates. one of whom is Secretary of State Root, it Is hoped, will bring to happy consummation the work initiated seventeen years ago by James c. Blaine, says an exchange, when he held the office of secretary of state in the Harrison administra- tion. One of the greatest of Ameri- can statesmen had conceived the idea of bringing into the closest relations the different governments of Central and South America. MT Blaine had in mind not only better political re- lations, but improved trade relations as we'll. Although our sister repub- lies to the south of us are much near CT to us than is Europe, the bulk of their trade was in the hands of Euro peans, which meant the annual loss of millions to the United States. The first Pan-American congress which met in Washington, October, 1889, devoted itself, among other things, to the development of commercial inter course between the American repub- lies. The Washington conference was followed by another held in the City of Mexico in 1901-02. The confer ence that assembled that Monday at Rio Janeiro will take up and carry forward the work of these two mo- table gatherings. First on the pro- gram is the reorganization of the bureau of American republics. It is proposed to erect in Washington a magnificent building for the bureau and in connection with it commer- cial museum. Efforts will also be made to increase rapid communica- | tion by additional cable and tele- graph lines and fast mail lines. New commercial treaties will be entered into and other means adopted to es- tablish closer ties between all the American republics. To avoid the danger of war strong pressure will be brought to bear upon the re- publics to agree to submit to arbi- tration any differences which may arise between them. Let us hope that the work of the third Pan-American conference will be productive of re- suits which will help to realize the patriotic aspirations of James G. Blaine who aimed at bringing about a species of American Zolleverien in which the American republics, whilst retaining their individual sovereign ty, would cooperate for their mutual benefit.

Discussing Andrew Carnegie and his great wealth and his greater love for motherland one writer says that he wishes to undo the work of the American revolution by the reunion of the United States and England, and he has no hesitation in cham pioning such reunion. His latest pronouncement on this subject made recently was duly cabled across the Atlantic. In a letter to the London Times he strongly objects to state ment of Sir Charles Tupper to the effect that in recent address made by Carnegie in Canada he declared for the unity of Canada with the United States insteadn ef,InEnglandl Carnegie is highly indignaa+ that he should be charged with giving ex. pression to a sentiment so inconsis- tent with his loyalty to England. In very plain language he tells the Lon- don Times that what he did say was that England. Canada and the United States should enter a union, under the leadership of England. But we will let him speak for himself. We quote from the London Times letter: Never did utter a word in Canada or elsewhere about the drawing closer together of our race that did not give first place to the motheNand. I do not think Canada or America in the future will need the support of their mother, but I believe some day the mother will find an alliance or union with her children across the Atlantic her refuge and her strength"

Interesting London statistics in- form us that the six and a half mill lion people in Greater London live in 928,00S houses. The population 100 years ago was just one-fifth what 1t is now. Though the number of births was nearly double the number of deaths in 1904, the birth rate is steadily declining. The postal figures show that in 1905 there were 1,02S post offices in London, and 2,435 pub lie telephones working. The total imports at London in 1904 amounted to $849,0S6,000, and the total ex- ports $462,2s9,000. Some idea of London's wealth Is shown by the as- sessed income tax value in 1904 in the administrative county, houses representing $219,264,000, trades and professions $364,045, 900. profits of companies and other interests 1000, salaries Corporate bodies) $115, ,000, salaries (army and navy) s1O3,674,O00. In 1905 there were 2,993 motor cars and 1,- S52 motor cycles in London. Li- censes to drive were granted to S,070 people, the fees received amounting to $36,S00.

 Young men and women. boys and girls. in Zion City have fallen into evil ways-theatergoing. cariplaying, cigarette smoking and dancing-Ov- erseer Wilbur Glenn Eolivn said at big open air meeting in front of Zion University building. He pro poses to correct their morals without loss of time. The town will be di- yided into districts. each in charge of a deacon. who will be responsible for the moral welfare of the young peo- ple fin his district. Persistent back sllders will be banlshed.
 The aim will be to give each deacon not more than twenty boys and girls. Anything over that number. 1t Is ap- prehended. would give the church of- ficial too much to do.
 It appears that since the factional difference began in Zion City several months ego eliminating with the oy- erthrow and discredit of John Alex nnder Duwie. the young people of Zion City have been allowed to do pretty much as they pleased.
 They have not been taken to task for their failure to attend the Sunday and weekday services.

NAPOLEON's SECRET CAsKET.
One of the Treasures of MalmaisOn,
 Home of Josephine.

La Malmaison! How the name speaks of the old times of the empire. It was in this charming property, close to Paris, that the premier con- sul and Mime Bonaparte stayed, and it was here that Josephine, the re- pudiated empress, lived surrounded by a few friends. She kept a sort Of court here, but it was poor and pathetic makebelieye. On a stone bench in the garden sat Napoleon on the eve of his departure for Elba. His dejected air showed only too. truly that the death knell had been sounded to his fortunes. So the house is saddened through and through with history.
 It came into private hands. and through private hands it has become state property as free gift from M. Osiris, a Greek gentleman. There was some hesitation on the part Of the state to accept, writes the Paris cor respondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, because there was no furniture to put within the walls: but that diffi- eulty has been overcome, the house is furnished. and this week it will open to the public in completed state. The real interest, indeed, ot Malmaison resides in its furniture the house itself has changed, griev- ously changed, in general appearance and in decoration since the days when it had an imperial occupant. But the authentic furniture is there I to speak unerringly of Napoleon and his abandoned eonsort and of the whole family of Bonapartes.
 Certain of the furniture has come from the national stores, and all has had close and clear connection with the house, but the most interesting pieces are the gift of the aged Elm press Eugenie. whose still stately figure is occasionally to be seen in Paris. This furniture had been gath cred together by the empress herself and by Queen Hortense. daughter of Josephine and the Comte de Beau
 harnais. who married Louis Bona parte. king of Holland. and was thus the mother of Napoleon III.
 It has hitherto been conserved by the Empress Eugenie. in her Chateau of ArenenberE. by Lake Constance
 These are real relics of the great man and are of priceless value. For the moment they have been placed. with. out much attempt at order, in the hall adjoining the chamber occupied by Josephine Among these new ob. jeets is an admirable bus, in marble of the imperial chatslaIne and DOT. stra.ts of Egyptian pashas that Napo
 leon brought with him from his cam paign among the Pyramids.

versy, altho at the time 1t was adopted
1t had no such purpose. The law was
intended to apply to meetings of com
munists, socialists and other aSsocia-
tons, and set forth that every public
meeting shall be preceded by notice
giving the place, the day and the hour
of the meeting. This notice had to be
signed by ait least two persons. one OF
whom had to be a member OF the com
mune where the meeting was to be
fects or the mayors.
The commune was named so that re-
sponsible parties might be known IN
case of any trouble or disorder, but the
law did not contemplate religious wor-
ship Nor thereafter did any religious
body give such notice. The applica-
ton of the law has since been maze
merely as a compromise measure TO
preserve the congregations of the
church, but this application of 1t has
been refused.
1t is estimated that under the sep
aration law the church property that
passes to government ownership Is
worth 5000, 100000, but much OF the
property is of little value except for
religious purposes. Recently an aban-
doned church which originally cost
$50, 900 was sold for $3.50, or the value
of the material after the cost OF de-
molition.
Many French Catholics complain
that they are simply being robbed of
their property, the title TO which in
many cases, is not perfectly clear, ow-
ing to the length of time that church
and state have been united, and to in
accuracies in documents affecting sales
leases. etc. Some Of the land was Or
iginally set aside by the state and some
OF the churches were in part built by
money raised by taxes At different
times the question of ownership has
been disputed.
