Thus the issue is drawn. The Crown’s mier Goremykin is specific nevertheless the impression spread that the Government has no fixâ€" ed policy, and many believe that the Czar will yield much more under great- er pressure. There is not the slightest doubt that this pressure will be forthcoming, but the perilous question arises, Will the later concessions suffice to save the throne? In other words, can a revo- lution be averted? THE DAY’S DEVELOPMENTS. When the Douma met on Saturday morning the Ministers were present for the first time. Premier Goremykin head the Ministerial programme, which is the reply to the Douma’s address to the Czar. The statement declared that the Gov- ernment was fully prepared to lend its entire support to an elaboration of the main points suggested by the Douma, provided they did not go beyond the limits of legislative initiative assigned to the Douma. The Council of Ministers, the Premier said, must exercise epecial caution in regard to questions raised by the Douma on immediater satisfying the needs of the rural population and placing the peasants on an equal footing with other classes; of satisfying the re- quirements of the wor: people; of fram- ing a measure for obligatory elemen- tary education; of making the wealthi- er classes liable for the payment of taxes and of reorganizing the provin- cial administration and introducing system of self-govemment with special Consideration for the peculiar conditions in the frontier provinces.

In regard to amnesty, Premier Gore- niykin declared that the pardonmg of of the monarch. The council considered that it would not be beneficial to grant amnesty to persons implicated in murders and acts of VIO- lence. The Cabinet had taken steps to procure the release of those by whom the public safety' was not threatened. Dealing with the Cabinet's intentions in the legislative field, Premier Goreâ€" mykin declared that the welfare of Russia was unattainable so long as the prosperity of agriculture was not as- sored. The reforms announced by the Em- peror, the Prime Minister declared, can- not be thought of so long as the power of law is not. firmly established. The council will place in the forefront of its labors the question of the creation of local courts of justice on lines which will simplify the,~change of procedure in trials from therpresent system.

Maritime express, due on Sunday, jumped the track and overturned near Amqui, Quc., about four hundred miles from Montâ€" real, at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning. and though it carried twelve sleeping passengers, none of them were reported seriously injured. The escape was rather remarkable, and may be attri- buted in part to the low embankment and to the immediate action of the emer- gency brake, which operated auton'inli- rally, owing to the break in the coup- ling. The car lay on its side, and so severe was the jolt that all the lower windows were smashed and the frame- work badly wrenchcd. The front. Pull- man was forced from the track, but did not. turn over. It is supposed the acci- dent was due to spreading rails, even though the engine and 'thrce Colonist cars had passed over safely. When the passengers in the overturned Pullman regained composure and managed to get out, they observed that if the car had left the track a few yards farther ahead they would have been hurled over f a fifty-foot embankment to a. stream of water. ..__._¢____ SLIDING INTO THE RIVER. Ogilvie Elevator at Fort \Villiam in Danger. A Fort William despatch says: The Ogilvie Company‘s grain elevator at this place, which was erected seine two years ago, started to slide into the river about nine o’clock on Friday night, caused by the displacement of the pile foundation. The Canadian Pacific Rail- road and the other elevator companies promptly rendered all possible assisâ€" tance, and men were at work all day Saturday making arrangements for the removal of the grain, Of which there is about 350,000 bushels, a portion of which belongs to outside parties. At the moâ€" ment it looks as though 75 to 80 per cent. of the grain might be saved, as the bins are intact, and the total loss on grain and elevator will not amount to more than $250,000. The elevator was designed and con- structed by file McDonald Engineering Co., of Chicago. It. was of fireproof steel and concrete on a pile foundation, which was driven to the rocks and was tested and loaded to its full capacity the past two seasons, and upto the time of the sudden collapse, it showned no signs of weakness. __...+______ ANYTHING FOR A FIGHT. Zulus in South Africa Spoiling to Get at Each Other. - A London despatch says :. The situa- tion in Natal is unchanged. Littlenews comes through, but early in the week it seemed as if several leading chiefs would lay down their arms. Of the five chiefs who met on Tuesday only one an- nounced his loyalty to the Government and ordered his men to disarm. Two others have since been organizing raids in Zululand. The rebellion continues to draw support from the natives who want to fight each other as well as those who want to fight the whites. This adds to the difficulty of suppressing it. WANTS 2,000 MORE MEN. The Pietermaritzburg correspondent the London Daily Telegraph says that Col. Mackenzie has notified the Govern- ment that be requires 2,000 more men in order to cope with the rebellious na- tives. It is the opinion of those at the front that the natives will refuse to stand and fight. The prospect of long guer- illa warfare is certain. â€"â€"g FIVE KILLED AT BALL GAMEJ Bolt of Lightning Struck Among Spec- tators in Alabama.
