RUSSIA TRIES TO I
REGAIN BALANCE
Wounds Expected to Heal Before.
Dunla COnVeneS !.

Petrograd, Jan. 10, via London,
Jan. 20, 1850 a. m.-The imperial
>ukase further postponing the con-
vening of the Duma and the imper-
ial council has provided another in
Permission in the Russian political
drama in which it is hoped that some
means will be discovered of harmon
iZing the policies of the government
and the legislative chambers. The
steady succession of ministerial
changes and the events which have
taken place since November when
the Duma last met, have done Httlea
to bring about the desired under-F
standing. On the other hand thns
gulf which separates the governments
and the Duma is very clearly defined4
1t became obvious that a meeting
of the Duma under the present cir-t
cumstances would only serve tot
sharpen the conflict and precipitates
final rupture between the twoE
parties. Premier Golitzine eXplainss
the apparent contradiction betweeHl
his recent utterances regarding coz
operation with the legislative DEPART
,nents and the ukase postponing
their reassem bling by a statement
that he under estimated the length of
time necessary to form the govern
ment/ program and that it is essen
tial for the government to become
fully acquainted with the details of
the situation before the duma meets.
The newspapers express, as usual,
their pessimistic comment on the sit
uation. The Rech says:
THE work of the imperial council
and the Duma is being more and
more theoretically paralyzed."
THE Bourse Gazette says:
"Rumors about adjournment are
now verified. 1t is unnecessary to
state how serious the present mo-
ment is and of what grave impor-
lance is meant by adjournment even
for a short period"

Suppose there were no funerals at

death the body were removed with a
brief private ceremony. Think of the
appalling emptiness the Darkness

There has been all the confusion,

a felony I see," sneered Mrs. Allis.
"Are you not little afraid to do that

please. I make no promises that 1

you and your companion are kept
here under guard until Monday. You
will then do as you choose. I should
advise you, however, to choose an ap-
pearance at the Justices court"
Mrs Al1is arose from he chair and
I do not believe even in her desperate
extremity she would have yielded,
save for the despairing ejaculation
from her accomplice:
"Oh, my God, woman!' he said
"don't be fool! Remember, I've got

his is What Justifies Funerals.

Aio Is NIittl OuStIICS l. tIlcftttS.
Funerals are to give people some
thing to do for day or two.
Because Of funerals, there are ar
rangements to make, there are no
tees to write, relatives to notify.
Flowers come and one must look at
them and know whom they are from.
The one who is bereaved may re-
sent all this. He wishes to relax into
an apathy of grief and feels that these
formalities are the last straw. In
reality "aomething to do whether he
wants to or not is saving him from
himself.
How We Hate 1t and How 1t Saves Us.
After the funeral there are notes
to write, letters of coincidence to an
swer, and thanks for flowers.
Another intrusion-how one resents
it, And how it saves one, carries
one along a bit further toward the
period when time will have healed
the wound just that bare trifle which
makes the ache within the power of
human endurance!
When one is young, one scornfully
points out the uselessness of so many
of the formalties and conventions Of
life. But as one grows a bit older
one begins to be a bit less sure
DO you ever wonder What life will
change your mind about next?

Average Increase of 10 Per Cent for
All Navy Yards and Arscnals
Is prODOsed

WASHINGTON, w Sept. 16.-Comple-

yards and arsenals was announced to-
day by the special joint war-navy-
labor committee. The revision, which
becomes effective as soon as new pay
rolls can be prepared, is said to make
an average increase in maximum
rates of nearly 10 per cent and much
greater advances in the scale for the
lowest grades of skilled labor.
The committee examined local rates
and was guided to a great extent by
the aim to make the rates as nearly
uniform in all sections of the coun'
try as circumstances would allow.

be but three rates, the lowest to be

SAID he would not grant the request

Minister Pueyrredon declared that

lie and TO close the present incident
favorably.
The Argentine government has sent
cablegrams to DIR. Luis B. Molina, the
minister at Berlin, concerning the ne
gotiations but no official response has
yet been received. The foreign min
lister believes the delay is due to diff

German government for safe con-

The foreign minister said he be-

General Funston it has been decideo
to permit the camp Of that name ~
retain it's present designation.
Col. Ralph Harrison, department
adjutant, today asked for suggestions
of names of Texas heroes who have
not already been honored by the name
of a camp or cantonment
