RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT
TO BE CONSERVATIVE

St Petersburg, oct. 2l.-The parliament
ary elections are now sufficiently ad-
vanced to disclose the general outlines of
the composition OF the third parliament,
which the Liberals and Conservatives
agree will be strongly conservative in
composition. Prof. Milukofl, the Constitu-
tional Democratic leader. admitted that
the members OF his party will have TO
play subordinate role, with not over 100
representatives OF the party. The mem-
bers OF the extreme left 1 nthe house are
not expected TO number over 80 and these
undoubtedly will adopt far less belllger-
ent tactics than did the representatives
OF their party in the preceding parlia-
ments for fear OF expulsion.
The third parliament will again be a
body OF new men.

much shorter railroad route between st.
John and Boston will be opened up. if an
application OF the New Brunswick South
ern railway for the erection OF "A bridge
across the St. Croix river In the vicinity
OF ST. Stephen is granted. The railway
has announced It's intention to petition the
next parliament for the permission to
build the structure. declaring that II

Canada"
By bridging the st. Crolx river. the New
Brunswick Southern railway would have
direct connection with the Washington
County railroad in Maine, which is allied
with the Boston and Maine railroad
whose lines run into Boston. The PROPOSE
tion is not "a new one, but up to this
time IL has been held up by the objec-
tlon of the people OF St Stephen TO the
site on which II was proposed TO bridge
the river. This objection seems TO have
been withdrawn and IL is expected that
the Canadian parliament will act favora-
bly, on the application.

ton this morning TO secure the release OF
William English Walling OF Indianapolis.

Stransky who were arrested at the Ho-
tel De France here last night because
OF their association with members of the
Finnish Progressive party. four OF whom,
including the wife OF Prof. Malmburg of
Helsingfors university. were taken into
custody at the same time. Attaches OF
the embassy visited the prefecture OF po-
lice and the headquarters OF the secret
police I'm endeavors TO learn the nature OF
the charges against the American prison
ers and to see whether they were com
fortably treated.
The wallings probably will be released
on condition of their leaving Russia, but
the examination of the books. manu-
scripts and other documents seized by the
police when the Wallings were taken into
custody. may delay the release of the
prisoners for a few days.
The police accuse Mr.. Walllng with
furnishing financial aid to the revolution
airy movement, but that Is not the charge
on which he and the other members of
the party were arrested last night.
