sTOLYPIN ON FLOOR.


Threatens Members II Certain Land
Measures are Adopted.
st. Petersburg. May 23-At the close
today of an eventful session of the
lower house of Parliament devoted to
the adoption of rules of order, Stoly-
pin claimed the floor.
Amidst intense attention the Pre-
mier declared that the Agrarian side
of the house yesterday had formally
adopted the principle of the forcible
appropriation of lands without waiting
to ascertain the Governments atti-
tude. 1t was the Premiers duty, there
iore' to enlighten the deputies Fun
damental principles. maintained by the
Government. had been disregarded in
an openly revolutionary spirit which
marked most of the speeches and In
suits had been aimed at the Govern
ment. ~. u 81 :"
The Agrasian prosram OF the com!
mfttee left the various parties in the
House in irreconcilable positions to-
wards each other and towards the
Government. If the principle of the
forcible appropriation of land was per-
United to prevail, a social upheavaI OF
which history would not be able to
snow a parallel would be precipitated
In conclusion the Premier announced
tnat the forcible appropriation of land
could not be permitted and warned
the house that the speeches exciting
the peasants were beginning to cause
dangerous agitation In. the provinces
which the Government was determine ed
10 restrain. When NJ. Stolypin had
finished the house adjourned.

ure introduced by Senator Massey. and
set for the special order tomorrow on
the third reading.
The provisions of the measure are
simple and for that reason acceptable
to several members who didn't ap-
prove the gross revenue tax, 1t pro-
vides that a tax of ten dollars mile
shall be paid as special license tax by
the railroads in Florida which will pro-
duce revenue of about $4,000. With
probable deficit of half a million above
the revenue provided the Legislature
is beginning to realize that some
means must be found to balance the
income against the expense.
Half a dozen measures for the con-
struction of good roads were the spe-
cial order tonight This was the first
night session held by the House. but
from now utnil the end of the term
night sessions will be frequent. Both
Houses are badly behind the calendar

Pell City. May 23.--(Special)- This
morning at about IL o'clock fire was
discovered on the roof of the build

The fire had gained such Roadway
before 1t was discovered that 1t was
impossible to put 1t out before 1t had
destroyed both buildings with all their

Both buildings were wooden and the
loss to them is about $1,000. The loss
to the dispensary stock was about
$4,000 and that of Knotts about 81

insurance.
