Social Democrats Arrested.

During the night nine Of the 16 So
cial Democratic leaders, specificaiiy
named in the government indictment,
including Prince Tzertzereteli and Nj.
Dzhaparidge, were taken into custody.
The other seven succeeded in eluding
the elaborate provisions made for
their arrest. Two secret service Of
ficers, with signed warrants had been
assigned to follow each deputy and
serve the warrants as soon as the
ukase was promulgated. Among those
who have not yet been arrested are NJ
Ozel, the report of whose capture was
unfounded, and Nj. Alexinsky, who has
not returned to Russia.

Cars Master Stroke.
There was much talk of declaring
boycott on the new elections to the
douma, but no action was taken. The
new election law is regarded as
mastery piece of gerrymandering,
avowedly designed to reduce to min
imum the representation on the regis
ter of those classes of the population
in which hostility to the government
has been chiefly evident.
While the effect of the present pre-
ponderance of "Non-Intelligents," over
'Jntelligents" has been TO fill the
douma with deputies devoid of all
training for the comprehension of mat
ters of state administration. consid-
erable portion of whom lacked even
education. the new douma
promises to be composed of class of
members with experience of local
and accustomed to quiet
and peaceful work.
An important feature of the law is
that each class or social group must
henceforth elect deputies of Its Gloss,
the workmen cannot be represented by
who are not workmen. as

In restraint of trade and have been

ment which they entered into to raise
the rate on yellow pine lumber from
the south to territory north of the
sOhio river For more than four years
this case was fought in the open
courts and before the interstate com
merce commission, the supreme court
entering its final decision on May 27.
Bonaparte Now Busy On Cases.
II was learned at the department
of justice today that Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte had these cases, which
are known as "the yellow pine cases"
before him at the present time. 1t
was also learned that they were con
sidered at the conference OF the presi-
dent and cabinet, and members of the
interstate commerce commission a
few days ago, when the general sub
ject of anti-trust prosecutions was
considered.
The attention Of the department Of
justice was first called to the practice
of the two freight associations at the
time Judge speer Of sGeorgia, rem
dered his decision in June, 1905, sus-
tanning the order of the commission
against the advance in the lumbcr
rates and holding that 1t had been
brought about by conspiracy Of the
representatives.
Owing to the fact, however, that an
appeal had been taken from his deci-
sion, and from that of the United
States circuit court for the eastern
district of Louisiana, the department
of justice decided to await the final
of the matter by the su-
nIeme court. The case In the Louis
ANA court was brought by the lum-
oermen of eastern Louisiana Missis-
sippi, and Alabama. and involved the
same issues as the Georgia case, and
vas decided along the same lines.
Government May Now Prosecute.
At the department of justice II was
admitted today that the case as de-
'eloped by the commission and the
,ourts was a strong one, and that it
vas purely a matter of administrative
policy whether criminal or civil pro-
,eedings would be begun against the
ailroads or their agents acting for
hem as members of the two freight
Under the conspiracy

attorneys regard the case as
developed in the above suits as es-
'ecially strong because of the fact
hat the conspiracy feature has been
lieady so firmly established.
