RESULT OF LECTURE HERE
WANT HIM TO RESIGN SEAT

ST PETERSBURG, February S.-The
demonstration which took place in the
duma Yesterday against Prof Paul Milu-
koff leader Of the constitutional demo-
Gratis arising from the i'll feeling created
here by his recent lecture in New York
on the political situation in Russia. en-
crosses the attention of the entire press
of this city, which today unites in deplor-
Ing an incident which tends to fan p;-rti-
san enmity and cndanger the chances OF
the dumas success.
The occurrences Of yesterday probably
will be followed up by formal resolu-
ton censuring Prof Milukoff for lack of
patriotism and supplementary conduct
in visiting foreign country to stir up a
sentiment of hostility while occupying a
responsible position in parliament.
Octoberist Revolt.
The participation of the Octoberists in
the demonstration of yesterday under the
leadership of Alexander ]. Guchkoff is re-
xarded here as showing that the feeling
against Prof. Milukoff is not confined to
reactionary : fanatics like Vladimir M.
Purishkcvich, but that it is shared by
the members of the constitutional party
which up to the present time has retained
amicablc relations with the leader OF the
constitutional democrats.
Will Not Resign.
In some quarters Prof. Milukon is sd-
yised to resign and geek vindication at
the hands Of his constituents, but this
he has declined to do, and he has an
nounced his intention of insisting that
the report of the commission on ma
tional defense, at which strategic ques-
tions will be discussed. be read at
closed session OF the duma.
Liberals Are Coming.
Upon American initiative a party of
Russian liberal journalists is being Or
ganized to VISIT the United States to con-
tinue the movement begun by Prof Milu-
koff The opposition press of st. Peters
burg, Moscow, Kiev and Odessa has been
invited to send delegates. but the con-
servative newspapers have not been
asked to participate.

NEW METHODS RECOMMENDED,
Result Of Investigation Of the Post
Office Department.

The preliminary report of the commits
sion to investigate the methods of the
Post ONCE Department will be made to
Congress Monday. with the recommended
tons Of the accountants who have been
employed to examine the system The
commission consists of Senators Penrose,
Carter and Clay, and Representatives
Overstreet. Moon and Gardner of New
Jersey.
The experts advise that the four assistant
postmasters general be done away with,
making the second in command to the
head Of the department an executive Off
Ger appointed by the President for
long term. holding relation to his chief
similar to that of a railway superintend-
ent to his president and directors.
To make the department more mobile
and avoid congestion at Washington, it
is suggested that administrative divisions
be formed with full power over Offices
within their boundaries. The method of
bookkeeping was also condemned as un-
necessarily involved. leading sometimes to
Implications. 1t is proposed to centralize
the accounts.
1t is thought that 10000 of the g., 900
Offices may be made homecoming. thus
avoiding tangles Of red tape at the Wash
ington end by the too frequent issuance Of
stamps and many intermediate reports
1t is reported that the commission will
not agree with all the recommendations
of the experts.
Two large auditing firms of New York
were engaged by the commission and they
were busy from April 10 until November
10 of last year. many Of their men doing
conside rable travelling over the country to
inspect tho service. OF the $4,000 appro-
priated by CONGRESS for the use Of the

FOR ROCK CREEK PARK.
Commissioners Approve Bill for Pur-
chase of Additional Land.

In letter today to Senator Nathan B.
Scott. chairman of the Senate committee
on public buildings and grounds. the Com
missioners recommended the passage of a
bill recently introduced in the Senate pro-
viding for the purchase of certain land
near MASSACHUSETTS avenue and Rock
creek as an addition to Rock Creek PARK
The tract proposed 10 be acquired ex-
tends about 1000 feet along the creek
and. northwest about 1000 feet along
Massachusetts avenue, with width of
500 or 900 feet.
The Commissioners expressed them
selves as being exceptionally anxious that
this additional land for park purposes
be acquired. 1t is located within easy
access of O. large population, and is
judged by them AS being eminently suited
for park purposes on account of the hilly
character and the ma gnificent trees there,
which could not be grown in many years.
The land now is used by many persons
as a park, although it is private property.

When the Maynower moored be-

And white the shore with snow.
The mists that wrapped the Pilgrims

And his rocks yet keep their watch

But the snow-white sail that he gave

Reioiced, when he came, in the morn

In the mornings flame burns now.
And the moons cold light, as It ay

But the Pilgrim where is heg
The Pilgrim Fathers are az rest:
When summers throned on high.
And the worlds warm breast is in

Go. stand on the hill whore they lie,
The earliest ray of the golden day
On that hallowed spot is cast:
And the evening sun, as he leaves
the world.
Looks kindly on that spot last
The Pilgrim spirit has not fed;

And il watches the bed Of the glor-
