The Election,

St. Petersburg, Feb.-Socond degree elections of peasants and the smaller land owners were held Saturday in twenty-one provinces. Partial re- turns show as had been anticipated, a pronounced swing to the left from the officially announced results of the first elections. A considerable pro- portion of the successful candidates are social Democrats and revolution tsts. Many so-called Moderates and Independents cast of their cloak and came out in their true colors in favor of the opposition. In several govern ments, however, notably Volhymia, the elections apparently were carried by Conservatives and peasants. The peasants chosen at this stage will elect peasant delegations to the provincial electoral assemblies and the repre- sentatives of the petty proprietors will confer with owners of large es- tates and elect landowners for the same bodies. The urban elections on several provinces were carried by the constitutional Democrats

MUST COUNT NAIL.
During Week of Oct! II to 10 Every
Piece of Mail to be Counted.

Postmaster Webb has received in
sUructions from the postal depart
ment at Washington to count all
the letters and postal cards and all
other pieces of mail issued from the
local office, and also to count the
number of stamps used on the
letters, during the week of October
II to 10. The count is to begin at
midnight of October IL and con-
clude at midnight of October 49,.
Similar instructions have been is
sued to postmasters throughout the
country and it would appear that
the postofice officials of the United
States have a mania for collecting
statistics.
The order directs that the several
classes of mail be counted separate
ly and that the revenues from each
class be reported separately. In fe-
feet the order will necessitate the
counting of every letter, postal
card, newspaper and package mailed
and a report on the stamps on
each parcel.
There are four classes of mail
matter which must be counted and
reported separately, the division be-
ing:
First class-Letters, postal cards,
etc.
Second class, All newspapers
mailed by publishers.
Special Second class-Newspapers
mailed by individuals on which the
rate is 4 ounces for cent.
Third class-All circulars and
printed matter.
Fourth-All merchandise, pack
ages, etc.
The latest order has no connec-
ton with the order issued July 1
which requires the weighing of all
mails, dispatched and received, from
July to January 1, This order
also requires the reporting of the
several classes separately, and
large burden of work for the offices.
Fortunately the latest order will be
in effect only one week.

A Postmaster's Advice.

Do not use a lead pencil to adj
d ress letter or parcel that is in
t ended TO pass Though the mail,
out instead use a pen and ink. In
{ so doing you confer great favor
upon the persons obliged to handle
the parcel or letter while in transit.
An address written with a lead
pencil soon becomes obliterated,
making it's identity hard to discern.
This is the reason why SO many
letters are sent to the dead letter
Office and the same why other mail
matter OF less Importance never
reaches ats destination.

Mr.. Carey said that he had called
to Paris, the headquarters Of the In

also to Vladivostok to reserve a spe-
cial car for the use Of Secretary Taft
and his family.
The party will leave Vladivostok on
Tuesday, Nov 70, by special train de
luxe, which is considered superior TO
the Russian state trains which run on
other days in the week. The train
win be made up OF a diner, Observa-
ton car and three sleepers which have
seven two berth compartments and
one three berth room, all opening or
corridor at the side of the car.
each compartment of the car which
win be used by Secretary Taft said
Mr.. Carey, contains a table, chair,

Daruell. our general agent in the far
east, will accompany the. train from
Vladivostok to Moscow and see that

ton. The only stop during the long
| ten days ride will be at Irkutsk, the
finest city in Siberia, which is situated
| forty miles from the southern extrem-
| ity of Lake Baikal and 1886 miles by
rail from Moscow.
"The schedule of the Transsibefian
railroad allows only two hours at r.
kutsk for changing trains, but if Mr..
! Taft wishes to stop off and see some
/ thing of Siberia his car can be side
tracked and attached to the next tram
| It will be quite cold in Irlkutsk at the

the center of the RussQ=Chinese tf@
| trade, the capital of the goyerpon gen.
eralship for eastern Siberia, and has a
population of 10000, INCLUDING 2sl'gls
exiles.
''The scenery along tie Transsibe-
rian railroad is very wild and inter
esting. 1t changes continually from
| rivers to lakes and mountains inter
spersed with rugged gorges and wa

picturesque Cossack soldiers can be
seen on their wiry looking Siberian

Especial provisions, including fruits
and vegetables, of all kinds, viii be
| put on board the train at different
points, and everything possible will be
done to make Mr. Taft's trip through

| possible.
Russian railroad officials will re-
ceive instructions from ST. Petersburg
to look after the train and see that it
gets through on time, as the secretary
is to be the guest of the car
$50 far the party consists of Mr.. and
Mrs. Taft, their nine-year-old son,
Brigadier General Edwards, Private
Secretary Frederick w. Carpenter and
George Long, a war Office messenger,
who will accompany the party as gen
eral utility man."
Mr.. Sarcey said that the date of the
secretary's return to New York was
tentatively scheduled for Dec. 10, but
as he is to be the guest of the car at
st. Petersburg and of the kaiser at
Berlin the departure from Cherbourg
may be deferred to later date.
