RUSSIAN DUMA
RE-ASSEMbLES-
LITTLE HOPE OF
SETTLING DISPUTE

Petrograd, Dec. 2N(Nia London, Dec.
3).--The eagerly awaited reassembiihs ol
the Duma, after suspension for ~ days
by imperial decree. took place TO-DAY
without any promise of a final settlement
of the dispute between this government
and the representatives of the people,
which lost nothing of its acuteness our
ing the interim. The leaders OF the Du-
ma themselves said before the meeting
they were wholly uniformed as to the
attitude adopted by. the government anu
did not look for any immediate clearing
of the political atm osphere.
In the opinion of majority OF the oep-
mites the change in the ministry "hich
followed the outburst in the Duna the
situation only temporarily eased. Ac-
cording to the Liberal viewpoint the re-
cent designations brought little more thah
n change in the personnel of the ministry
and there are as yet no symptoms OF an
essential alienation in the character u
tho government which is held responsive
for the present internal DISCRIMINATION
and unrest,
II is evident at least that the oppor-
tupities for consultation between the gov
ernrnept and the Duma leaders winch WAS
provded by the enforced recess mas norile
M immediate fruit. and the hopes OF mar
,nonv between the government ana the
Duma have again been deferred.

cuss the question of holding window

divided into three classes and the first
prize goes to the best window in each
class. The prize is a complete course
in the schools. The merchant winning

give it away or use it himself. The ar
rangements are all under the supervis-
ion of the Chamber of Commerce and
the judges are selected by the Cham
Der and. all the merchants competing
deal only with the local men. After the
proposition had been explained, the
merchants present all expressed their
opinion on the matter and everyone
was interested in it and agreed that it
would be a fine thing. 1t was then vot-
ed to hold the contest on the last
three days of Shop Early week and a
committee consisting of James Fl. AL
len, chairman; H. D. Cunningham.
Robert L. Wentworth, Leslie p. Loud
and c. A. Lewis was appointed to have
the matter in charge. Although the
time is short to make the preparations
for the event it is felt by the mer-
chants that it can be done all right
and that the contest will be one Of the
features of the week. It will be held
on the last three days and everyone is
expected to come in on 1t. The classif-
cation of the different stores is so ar
ranged that all will have an equal
chance and the contest will be open to
all the different lines in the city.
Before the discussion Of the con-
test for which the meeting was called,
there was Number Of reports from
the committees which have the other
features Of Shop Early week in charge

progressing fairly well and that there
was no question about the weeks plans
