MOR Y USNI4N V 7 L F3TFUNN Indications That Opposition Has Won
 in Cities.

St. Petersburg, Feb, 1O.--ElectioHs were held to-day in nine large cities (Ndoscow, Odessa, Tiflis. Kazan, Wilma, Yekatorinoslav, Astrakhan, Kishinev and Yaraslav) of. the twenty-four which send members direct to parliaments Moscow having four members and the other cities one each. In accordance with Russian ideas the counting of the votes has been postponed until to-rnor- row and definite results of the elections are unknown, but the indications every- where are of a victory for the opposi- tion. In several cities, notably Mos- COW, the question is whether the elec- tion has been carried by the constitu- tional democrats or the socialists. The chances of the socialists in Moscow are favored by the results of the workmen's elections, in which nineteen social dern- ocrats were chosen.
 Elections of peasants, landowners and workmen were also held to-day in sev- era1 provinces, but no results have been received that change the forecast sent in these dispatches last night, the fig ures of which are confirmed by the statistics showing opposition victories.
 In spite of the evident opposition character of parliament, Premier Stolypin is quoted as saying that lie hopes to nurse along until summer be- fore dissolution is necessary, but gem eral opinion is that the constitutional democrats will be unable to hold their radical colleagues in check and that the new parliament's life will not exceed two months. The expectation that the dissolution of parliament would be fol- lowed by a change in election law is de- nied by Premier Stolypin, who says he believes that this would be unconstitu- tional.

 by Actual Burning Without Adequate
 Record or Provision.
 Albany, Feb. 10.--Comptroller Martin H. Glinn made public tonight the re- suits of an investigation which he has been making into the condition of the stock transfer tax bureau of his office with reference to the handling and dis posal of seven million dollars worth of the stamps issued by that department for use in the transfer of stocks under the act of 1905. According to the comp trollers statement, more than five mill lion dollars worth of these stamps have been destroyed, either in process of manufacture or by actual burning, without adequate record or supervision, in the two years since the act was passed, and there is only the personal word of single clerk, salaried at $2,500 and not under bond, to certify the fact that they were destroyed at all.
 The total amount of stamps recorded as destroyed as different times between June 2 1905, when the first issue of stamps began, and December 29, 1906 (two days before Comptroller Glinn as- sumed office), was $5,O11, ,65S. Two lots reported as actually burned represent ed, respectively, $174,OOo and $2,2S3, BOT. Another lot said to have been destroy ed at the time of manufacture, because one or two stamps in each sheet was defective, amounted to $99S, O43. The balance of the vast total of over five millions are recorded as destroyed in some stage of the process of manu- facture.
