Montpelier last week, the committees

committee having begun to produce
bills. The Farmers Association have
had their meeting aud elected officers
and the many Joint resolutions authoriz-
Jog one thing or another necessary for
the conduct Of the session have been
paced and this week will see some real
active work of legislation. Already the
members of the House have been up

The new members are breaking in

earlier stages Of the session. 1t is the
older members who have to do most of
the work on the Aoor and in preparation
and submission of bills, but from what

new members win soon take a hand in

new bill providing relief for the city o,

Mr.. Barber Of Brattleboro has intro

which is bound to furnish some spirited
argument before its passage. The bill
provides that trustee process shall hold
only the sum In excess Of ten dollars
whereas under the present law the cred

exceeds ten dollars. Under the week is

bill is to establish District Court IN
each County and give this court jurisdic-
ton of all claims and suits now coming
before the Justice Courts. aud carrying
the right of appeal only as to questions
of law. The District Court is to be in
session at its headquarters on the first
Tuesday of each month. but may hold
sessions anywhere in the County to suit
the convenience Of parties and attorneys.
The bill is meeting with much favor aud
will doubtless become law, as it will
do away with the unsatisfactory litiga-
tion now had before the Justice of the
Peace The bill will increase the eff
cheney of the courts and give ltigan,s
better satisfaction at less expense to
them and at less expense to the state.
The bill was introduced in the Senate
by Senator Butler of Rutland and in
the House by F. c. Williams of Newport.
An act called An Employers Liability
Act has been introduced in the House
by Mr.. Leary of Burlington. This act
although introduced by one of the
Democratic members is a measure which
was recommended by Governor Prouty.
The bill provides that if person is in
jured while in the service of another
aud the injury is brought about by the
gross negligence of the employer the
injured one may recover damages all
though the injured one may have also
been negligent. Under the act the neg
ligence of the injured one may be shown
not as complete defence to the action,
hut in mitigation of damages. Under
the present law, if the injured one was
guilty of negligence in the slightest de,
gree he cannot recover damages al
though the employer was guilty OF
gross negligence. The act exempts FROM
its benefits all persons employed as farm
laborers or domestic servants. ANY
good lawyer knows that this exception
renders the bill unconstitutional because
it is class legislation. Whether the ex,
ception was made for that purpose OF
not will probably develop later.

FINLAND FACING
 MOMENTOUS TIME Controversy With Russia Is
 Aired In the Diet A POLICY OF REPRESSION Finnish People Are Led to Believe That czar Means to Take Away Some of Their Rights
 as Citizens.
A POLICY OF REPRESSION

Helsingfors, February 12.-The Finnish Diet was opened when Governor Gen eral Gerhard read an address of greet ing from the throne. The session will be momentous one for Finland, insomuch as the attitude of Finland in the present controversy with the throne is to be de- fined. A number of important reforms also will be acted on. The Diet is deeply impressed with the seriousness of the movement now going on in Russia to re- strict the privileges of the grand duchy of Finland, as we'll as with the symp- tomatic events which transpired during the recess, particularly the appointment of Major General Zien to be assistant governor general of Finland, a step which is taken to indicate the intention of the crown to restore ''the Pobrkoff' policy of repression, and the imperial an- nouncement made early in February that the disposition of the military funds of the grand duchy are exclusively the pre- rogative of the Emperor.
 In his response to the greeting from the throne, Judge Svinhufvud, president of the Diet, and a member of the young Finn party, declared that the two occur rences mentioned above had aroused deep disquietude in Finland He referred to Major General Zein as one of the chief instruments of the Bobrikoff regime, and said his appointment to one of the highest positions of the grand duchy was il- legal
 The accusations against Finland, upon which certain political circles in Russia are has their pffnrfc h viola 10 ha m litical status of Finland, are false, the president of the Diet declared, and the execution of the proposed changes would be ruinQus to the social and political pro- gress of the country. The Films always have been loyal to the Emperor, but they were convinced that the maintenance of present Finnish legislation was absolutely necessary for a proper development of the national life. In conclusion the president of the Diet called for three cheers for Emperor Nicholas, and these were given with enthusiasm.

GER MANY TO SIGN
 HAGUE AGREEMENT
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION WILL BE ADOPTED BY THE EMPIRE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLANS OF THE HAGUE.

Berlin, February 12.-Speaking before the budget commission of the Riechstag today, Dr. Kriege, permanent German member of the arbitration court, said that Germany soon would sign the agreement reached at The Hague last summer This was not signed by Ger many at the conference itself because the other great powers had postponed affixing their signatures.
 Dr. Kriege said the German delegates to the peace conference had opposed the court of compulsory arbitration for the whole world because they believed such a court would endanger the gen. eral Idea of arbitration. In accord ance with the final protocol of the con- ference, Germany already had conclud- ed obligatory arbitration arrange ments. It was ineumbent upon her, however, to observe certain caution because she Is surrounded on all sides by neighbors and is consequently ex- posed to more business differences than are countries with few neighbors or surrounded by sea.
 answering the suggestion that Ger many have an official representative at the inter- parliamentary peace confer- ence which is to meet at Berlin this year, Herr Von Schoen, the foreign secretary, said the government looked forward to this conference and would certainly participate.
 Replying to another inquiry regard ing the character of the international negotiations respecting the Baltic an1 the North Seas, Herr Won Schoen de- nied the correctness of the assertions made in the foreign press that the ob : ject of the proceedings was to make the Baltic a closed sea, while the nego- tiat,ons regarding the North Sea were intended only to guarantee the status quo. each state to give solemn pledge that it would make no attempt to change the existing situation. The fo'- eign secretary expressed the nope that these arrangements would contribu' substantially toward reassurnig the pubIic mind and safeguarding peace.

HORSE DIES

Selma, February 12.-(Special IA number of Dallas county nimrods, in cluding a county official or two are in trouble over violation of the game laws of Marengo county. The game warden of Marengo has issued war rants for their arrest, which are ex- pected to be served soon. The nim- rods went hunting in Marengo armed with all sorts of certificates and a stack of permissions from property owners that was thought by them to cover a the fields around the section into which they had gone. It seems, however, that they went on one field that was posted. and which their permits did not cover. Just when the case will come to trial is not known, but considerable quasi fun has been indulged in over the mat ter which promises to be somewhat serious in it's termination.
