HOPE FOR DOUHA.
SAYS MILICUKOY,
WHO LANDS TODAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-Hailed as the
greatest living Russian revolutionist
OUTSIDE Of prison walls, Prof. Paul
AElICukoy, founder and leader OF the
Russian Constitutional Democratic
party, arrived in New York today on
the steamer Carmania with a message
that the principle Of representative gov
eminent IS established in Russia, and
the third douma, OF which he is a mem
Der, viii! not be put out Of existence as
its forerunneTs were.
Prof. AIilicukoY is paying a flying visit
to New York, whore he lived for q
while. As his duties in the dOuma de-
mand his hurried return. He Is here to
deliver a lecture TO the Civic Forum to-
morrow in Carnegie Hall, and viii sail
for Europe Thursday.
Milicukov will pay a flying visit TO
Washington. and sympathizerS Of the
Russian revolutionary cause are COM
menting on the fact that he will not be
received by President Roosevelt. They
intimate that the Russian bureau
cracy has interviewed to prevent this
recognition TO him
He was living in New York on the
historic bloody Sunday in Russia, Janu-
airy 19. 1905. That called him back.
Since then he has risen to leadership
Of the radical parties in the Russian
douma.
II must hurry back to Russia, Mill
cUkov said on landing. The douma is
in session and many matters of import
ance are coming up. Just at present
matters in the dOuma are stagnant and
the country, as usual, is in state OF
unrest and dissatisfaction. The third
douma in its majority is conservative,
but in fact reactonary. This insures
it a more prolonged life and it will not
90 out of existence hastily. The prin-
ciple of Representative government IS
also established.

bDYENTISTS PROTEST
ON LAWS FOR SUNDAY

Claiming that such step would mean
union between church and state ana
result in numerous other complications,
the Seventh Day Adventists have filed
objection to the plan proposed by Wash
ington churches and other organizations
that Congress pass laws for a better OBJ
servance Of Sunday in the District.
II a pamphlet issued on the subject
the Adventists set forth e. number of
reasons why legislation that would in
terfere with ones personal liberty
should not be passed. The Constitution
prohibits Congress, il is claimed, from
enaCting laws respecting an establish
ment OF religion President Madison Is
quoted as saying that the Government
has no right to NEEDLE with re igion.
The Adventists give a number Of other
reasons IN support of their contention
and refer to the whole movement as
being a scheme to get Congress TO COM
nit itself to Sunday law legislation.
