Bucharest, Roumania, March 81
Four thousand peasants from the dis
tricts Of Teleorman and Vlashlca have
Joined forces and are now marching
on Bucharest. A minor state of siege
has been lfoclaimed here and the
military authorities have taken meas.
ures to prevent the revolted peasants
from invading the city. Should the
peasants refuse to retire orders have
been issued to the troops to use shrap.

Soldiers and large bodies of police
have been stationed In the Jewish
quarters of Bucharest for the protec.
ton of the inhabitants.
Severe encounters, accompanied by
much bloodshed, are reported from
various places. The plundering usually
appears to start at the synagogues,
winding up with attacks on Christian
property.
The district OF Vlashica Is overrun
by marauders, who have cut the tele-
graph and telephone wires. A band OF

attack with hatchets and cudgels on a

ST. Petersburg. March 27.-At the
close of two days debate the lower
house of parliament adopted the pre-
liminary Constitutional Democratic
resolution providing for the abolition
of drumhead courtsmartial and in
structing the committee to draw up
and present bill to this effect with
as little delay as possible The vote
was almost unanimous, only twenty
two extreme reactionists voting in
the negative. After the vote had been
taken Premier Stolypin. who had just
had a long conference with Emperor
Nicholas, announced the governments
position, stating SO long as ''the bloody
miasma of terrorism overshadowed
the land" 1t did not feel justified in
withdrawing entirely such unfortunate
repressive measures, but that orders
had been given that drumhead courts
martial be hereafter employed only
In cases of extreme and vital neces
sity. The government expected the
lower house to do its part in bringing
about the disqualification of the coun-
try, which would enable the ministers
to dispense entirely with such pro-
cedure.

SITUATION Is INTOLERAbLE {
FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER Ex-
PLAINS PLANS FOR BRINGING
MOROCCO TO TERMS.

Paris, March 27-Reply.ng In the
chamber Of deputies to interpretations
on the subject of Morocco Foreign
Minister Pichon said the situation had
become intolerable The Moors were
more and more insolent and etfica-
cious measures were necessary to com.
pei the sultan to restore order and
respect French rights. Besides the
occupation of Oudja France would de-
mand indemnities, reparation and the
introduction of measures providing
for the security of foreigners. The
policy of France was not one OF con.
quest.
The chamber unanimously adopted
a resolution of confidence in the gov.
ernment.
France does not expect any opposi-
tion upon the part Of any power
against the course she has mapped out
In regard to Morocco.
In seizing Oudja France places her
finger on the nerve center of Moroc-
can commerce. 1t Is walled town
where caravans arrive and depart to
and from all points In the interior and
where the sultan collects taxes upon
goods from both the interior and the
exterior.

OF bears lest they had overdone the
reckless selling.
The fright of the bears overbore the
current OF the market In the course OF
the first hour. when some further
wide breaks to far below the previous
days lowest prices were confusedly
mixed with violent advances. The ex-

In discussing the question concern

Of the mutual obligations and de-
pendence which exists between the
railroads and the public. Unreason-
able and onerous burdens should not
be laid upon these corporate enter
prises which have 80 materially and
especially developed the resources of
our State. again recommend, as
did TO the Legislature of 1905, thar
the Railroad Commission be made a
constitutional branch of the State
Government. In view of the very
serious conditions brought about by
the lack of physical equipment OF
many Of the railroads in this State,
and the consequent loss and damage
to the business. and: the loss Of life
and the increased danger to passen-
ger traffic, l also deem II proper to
repeat my recommendation to the
Legislature Of 1905 in regard to en-
powering the Railroad Commission to
make suitable: provisions for tie IN
spectioR: Of the physical condition OF
che railroads in the State. also
would recommend that the railroad
companies doing business In this State
be required to make report to the
Railroad Commission every six months
Of the number of engines and cars OF
the several classes and kinds, and
their condition and location, and the
amount Of their terminal trackage and
transfer facilities. The power OF the
Railroad Commission as to the en-
forcement of the rules and orders in
regard to the payment OF demurrage
for delayed freight or supply of freight
cars upon such conditions as il may
prescribe, should be ample and efec-
tive. and in the recovery OF fines and
penalties imposed by the. Railroad
Commission, a law similar to the
present Stock Claim Law" should
be passed allowing the recovery OF
twice the amount of such fine or pen
atty, together with attorney fees,
where X Is necessary to bring suit
to recover the same. The convent
ence Of the travelling public requires
a closer observance OF schedules. or
at least more reliable information to
the public as to the whereabouts OF
trains and the time Of their arrival

State aid for the saiery OF teachers OF
