STATE TO CONTROL ALL INDUSTRIES FACTORIES AND MILLS TO BE OP- ERATED FOR BENEFIT OF THE WORKMEN. ! St. Petersburg, June 6.—The extent | to which socialistic theories ‘have taken possession of the proletariat is evidenced by the agrarian programme adopted by the radical peasant-work- men group in the lower house of par- liament, which aims uitimately not only at the coumplete nationalization of land, with its attendant total aboli- tion of private property, but the so- cialization of industry. The pro-; gramme provides for the creation of af national land fund from the crown, church and private property exceed- ing a certain amount in value, the state to pay for expropriated property, and in the cities the factories and mills to be gradually transferred to the state for the benefit of the workmen. The mines which at present are not being ! worked would, according to the pro- gramme, immediately escheat to the! state. After taking such land as need- ed for state and public needs the re-; mainder would be distributable to any- | to till it, preference be- ing given to the local agriculturists. If the land in any locality is insuffi- cient the state would furnish trans- portation to persons desiring to move to where land could be obtained.

Chicago, June 6.—Eric Muenter, the Harvard instructor whose wife died April 15 in Boston under mysterious circumstances, has been heard from. The relatives of his wife have received a pamphlet unquestionably written by him and mailed from New Orleans. The document, which consists of sev- eral thousand words, is entitléd “Pro- test,” and although it is unsigned it is evident that it was wrmen by Muen- ter. As an introductmn seyeral hundred words are devoted to a burlesque ac- ‘count of a supposed death and then follows an extended criticism of those who have written and talked about him. -As a last word.in his own de- fense Muenter said: “And if my fellow men call this protest of mine insanity then I will spend the rest of my life on my knees and beg the merciful Father in heaven to take away all the rest, if need be, but to leave me my msanity 2 RESULT OF EATING PICKLES.

Ohipko, a peasant of Stevrapol, created some excitement at the opening of the lower house of parliament by protesting against allowing the ministers to speak from the rostrum. He said: “We have already expressad our dis- trust of ‘the ministry and government and it is useless to waste the time of the house in listening to them.” President Mouromtseff called M. ©Ohipko to order, pointing out that the ministers under the law had the right to speak from the rostrum. The pres- ident added, however, that hereafter assistant ministers like M. Gurko ‘would not be permitted to do so unless they came by special authorization and as the representatives of their chiefs. The house subsequently - discussed the proposal for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the “illegal acts of the government after the em- peror’s manifesto of Oct. 30.” After a lengthy debate the house appointed a permanent committee of thirty-three members to investigate and report upon the lawless acts of the military and civil oflicials.

ANTI-PASS PROVISION OBJECTIONABLE . THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PROTEST 3 AGAINST THAT SEG;I,'IDI&QF THE RATE BILL. ‘Washington, June 6.—Senator Till man suggested that there was a - “streak of yellow” in the senate dur- ing the day due to the fact that prac- tically every desk in the chamber was covered with telegrams of protest against the anti-pass provision in the railroad rate bill as reported by the conference committee. Senator Hop- kins announced that there were 6,000 - names attached to the batch of mes- sages sent up by him and as several others forwarded as many the total number received was quite formidable. They were all from railroad men and in each case consisted of protests against. cutting off the privilege of riding free. In addition there was a formal statement on behalf of engi- neers, firemen, conductors and train- men saying that they represented 230,000 railway company employes. ‘While the messages were raining upon the chair Senator Tillman made protest, saying that the telegrams could, and in the interest of time sav- ing should, be presented through the secretary. “I hope,” interrupted Senator For- aker, “that the senator will not insist on his point, as by doing so he would suppress-all knowledge of the popular- ity of the rate measure.” It was then that the South Carolina senator made his suggestion concern- ing the prevailing color in the senate. He also made the statement that the telegrams bore evidence of the pos- sesslon of a good many telegraph franks in the country. He called at- tention to the fact that the bill ap- plies only to interstate business and expressed the hope that if the senate REGULAR ORDER PREVAILS.

FORESHADOWS LASTING PEACE. Better Relations Between Great Brit- ain and Russia. Paris, June 6.—The tendency to- wards better relations hetween Great Britain and Russia is attracting the greatest interest in official circles here, where confirmation has been re- ceived of the reports referring to the approaching visit of the ‘British. chan- nel fleet to Russian Baltic ports. The diplomats express the conviction that the drawing together of these two great powers, both already bound by ties of friendship to France, fore: shadows the lasting peace of Furope. an appropriation bill.
