There will be no effort to prevent the passage of the bill in some shape, but there will be some opposition to the proposed restoration of $5,500,000 subtracted by the House from the amount to be appropriated. The general expectation is there will be comparatively little additional legi tion before the Christmas holidays. Se eral other measures will be vigorous pressed during the session, but with the | eption of the merchant marine bill the sponsors of the *bills do not count upon | getting early consideration. Senator Gal- linger will call up the merchant marine ill at the first opportunity and is hope- ul that debate will not be long delayed. No one counts upon getting even & re- 1e excellence | POrt from committees rate on the railroad bill until some’ time after the holi- The three measures mentioned are ered the most important that will come before the Senate this session, and they will receive much attention until they are finally disposed of. The consideration by the Senate of the joint statehood bill and the bill for the reduction of the duty on Philippine im- into the United States will necessarily be postpened until after the holidays. No one now expects any effort to modify the tariff unless in the direc- tion of Senator Lodge’s bill providing for a maximum and minimum rate. The Massachusetts Senator regards the propo- sition with much favor and will press it strenuously if he receives any encourage- ment to do so. Senator Mitchell's death will be an- nounced by Senator Fulton - to-morro but it is not probable that the announce- ment will cause an adjournment of the Senate. Speaker Cannon will nnounce the committees of the House to-morrow. This will ‘practically complete the organization of the popular branch of the Fifty-ninth Congress.- The committees appointed will meet during the week for organization, the appointment of sub-committees and the assignment to them of pending meas- ures. —————— COTTON GROWERS URGED TO HOLD FOR A RISE Also Advised to Plant Small Corn and Other Side Crops.

This show of strength also gives color to the report that the Douma election law which, it is now expected, will be promulgated next week, is to be fol- lowed by energetic measures to restore order, even if it be necessary to de- clare martial law in various parts of the empire, on the ground that it would be impossible to hold the elec- | tions In the present state of the coun- try. At the same time, it is under- | st00d that it is the intention &f the Government to go a step further in the ldirectlon of appeasing the peasants by | providing for purchase by them on the instaliment plan of a portion of the crown appendages and the private es- tates that have been hypothecated to the Government land banks and unre- deemed. DE WITTE'S FALL IMMINENT. ¥ While such a programme undoubtedly would receive the sympathy of that section of the population which desires the restoration of order above every- | thing; especially of the business inter- | ests, like the ~manufacturers of St.| Petersburg, who yesterday passed a| resolution in favor of prosecuting the | agitators to the full extent of the law, | |it would provoke the Soclalists and ‘Rc\'oll!liona to desperation. The | Moderate Liberals also belleve that - | such a policy would be suicidal and !\\‘Duld be sure to bring in its wake re- pression, then an armed conflict with the proletariat and finally bloody | revolution. Many persons believe that Count de Witte will not lend himself to such a programme, that his fall is imminent, and that when he goes he will leave! reaction and revolution face to face. It is again rumored that the Premier al- ready has resigned and will be suc- ceeded by General Count Alexis Igna- tieff. Another rumor is to the effect | that Lieutenant General Mistchenko, one of the heroes of the war in Man- churia, who is now on his way to St Petersburg, will assume the dictator: ship. PREMIER FAST LOSING GROUND, The press is unable \to obtain confirmation of any of these rumors. On the contrary it learns from a high source that Count de Witte's position, so far as the Emperor is con- cerned, is perfectly secure, and that his Majesty is giving him the widest co-operation. Nevertheless the Count's fallure to accomplish something tangible has caused him to lose ground steadily in public opinion. Even the Slovo, the organ of the “legal orders,” turns sav- agely on him, declaring that he is a failure and urging that it will be im- possible to restore public confldence until power has passed to the hands of the Douma, when Count de Witte must give way to a Cabinet selected by the National Assembly. In an interview yesterday Krustaleff, the strike leader now under arrest, spdd: a It is probable that a general strike will be declared just after Christmas. Delezates who were sent to all parts of the country repart that the proposal for a strike has been wel- comed with enthusiasm and. in fact, that the whole country is ripe for revolution. A vast majority of the workmen are true revolution aries, though starvation sometimes compels them' to subordinate thelr political aims. Preparation for an armed rising is wall ad- vanced, but It cannot hope to succeed unless Jolned by a considerable body of troops. The propaganda, however, has made such strides in the army that the revolutionAries are justi- fied in counting on sufficient support from that source to insure victory, The peasants every- where are willing to join the revolutionaries They nre the principal sufferers from oppres excessive taxation and have los confidence in the Emperor. The revolutionaries have thelr own postal and telegraph services, through which they are able to Keep in touch with their arganizers throughout the empire. Besides Krustaleff, three other mem- bers of the Workmen's Council were ar- rested. A strike has been begun on the follow- ing railroad lines: Kursk, Moscow and Sebastopel; Riga and Erloff; Kharkoft and Nicolaieff; Southwestern; South- eastern; Samara and Slatoust; Sizran and Viasemsk. IR i T BUREAUCRACY’S DAYS NUMBERED. Novelist Sienklewicz Says Czar's Gov- crament Is Doomed. STOCKHOLM, Dec. 10.—Henryk Sien- kiewicz, the Polish writer who has re- celved the Nobel prize for literature, said to-day: 1 heve not been in Poland for three weeks. The situation ip Russia and In Poland is ex- tremely bad. /'The bureaucracy cannot last much longer, Avith or without revolution. Its days are counted. The Russian people are cod, but the bureaucrats are a set of thieves. r hat was proved by the war. Count de Witte's position is most difficult. De Witte is clever and of great capacity, but it is doubtful if he will be able to reiain his pgsi- tion. Ve are In the greatest danger as Poles and a German occupation of Forand is possible in cage the revolutionary movement gets beyond the control of the Russian Government. Per- haps such occupation would L> by consent of the Russian Government and perhaps not. However, it the Russian Government should acquiesee ¥ the acquisition of Russian Poland. in whole or in part, by any, the act would be resisted, not only in Poland, but in Russia. Germany does not desire a rapprochement be- tween the Russians and Poles and would not be willing to sco Poland free. We will re- main part of Russia, if Ruesia gives Poland autonomy. We do not wish a republic, and neither Poland nor Russia is ready to become a republic. If Poland should revolt it will not be against Russia, but against the bureaucratic government. We love to think of our inde- pendence, but, while we are strong enough to demand freedom 1 Russia, we are not strong enough to deflnd it against Germany. o not think that Yoiand will start an armed revolution, but she will enforce her rights through the Doume. I believe that the Russian Liberals will give Poland autonomy if they are mot defeated. Our first demand is for the use of the Polish language in the official schools and universi- ties: our second is for a Polish Congress or Sejm; our third is for an entirely independent civil and judicial administration,” which would Eive us Judges and officials who may under- stand our laws and language. and our fous demand Is for a separate military administra- tion. 1In the last mentioned gonnection let me say that we have splendid Pollah generals, and it was notable In the war with Japan that the Polish soldiers were the best fighters.

The Pope has expressed no opinion in | the matter, notwithstanding the fact that Miss Hamflton, prominent in the Omaha | dlocese, who came under the ban a few | days ago, is known to have appealed to the authorities here.
