CONSTITUTION.

ST. PETERSBURG, September THE
Associated Press has obtained draft of
the new constitution for Finland which
was submitted recently to the emperor by
the Finnish nate for presentation during
the current session of the diet at Helsing-
fors.
This document, which is designed to re-
place the Anticipated constitutions of 1772
and 1859, the ukases issued by the emperors
at various periods and other precedents, In
part legendary, under which the grand
duchy of Finland has been governed is the
result Of twelve months labor on the part
of the senate. 1t was begun with the sane
ton Of his majesty and the cooperation of
the governor general. 1t Is of the utmost
Importance to the grand duchy. 1t effects
sweeping changes in the regime now in
force, including series of notable conces-
sions in the imperial prerogative. which
fundamentally reshape the relations of the
grand duchy to the empire.
In this constitution the status Of Fin
land is defined as that of semi-sover-
eign state bound to Russia by a per-
sonal tie only-the identity of the en-
peror duke. The sovereign Is obliged to
govern Finland exclusively through his
Finnish subjects, and this measure means
the Punishment from Finnish territory of
the Russian army and gendarmerie who
now occupy the fortified posts. Upon his
succession to the throne the emperor
duke takes an oath to observe the rights
OF Finland before claiming the recipro-
cal oath of loyalty from his Finnish
subjects.

MR.. HALDANEEXPLAINS
WHY BRITISH ARMY CONTRACTS
OFTEN GO ABROAD.

PERTH. Scotland. September War
Secretary Haldane. in a speech delivered at
Abernethy today, threw some light on the
reasons why army contracts for meats and
horseshoes had been given to Americans.
When he assumed Office, he said. he found
that protectionist principles had gotten into
the army administration. and that the ma
ton was paying deal too much for many
things. He found, for example, that there
was a clause on the contracts for the army
rations that the meat must be home-bred
and home-fed. The tenders were SO low
that it was impossible to supply British
meat on them. but still they were much
higher than if this clause had been absent
Foreign meat was supplied in spite OF the
clause, by instituting free trade and throw
ing open the door for outside tenders. The
soldiers were supplied with the same good
duality of foreign meat as before. but the
nation saved from $4,000 to $500, 900
the cost of maintaining, q battalion of
troops. and an additional battalion was
preferable to pretended supply Of beef
grown in this country.
Referring to the horseshoe contract, Mr..
Haldane said there was such a thing as
understandings among the manufacturers
Of this country when the war Office was the
bird to be plucked." He threw this con-
tract open. saved from 10 to II per cent on
the price and got q quicker delivery by
taking American horseshoes, and this in
spite of the fact that better wages are
paid in America than In this country.
