GREATER FREEDOM FOR PRESS Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky is Said to Regard Proposed Land Council the Best Solution of the Issue He Forced. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec H.-There is ao longer any doubt that the government Intends to commit itself to very extensive reforms as the result of the liberal agita tion bosun when Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky made his advent as Minister of the Interior. The Zemstvolst demands for a direct body to make the laws of the na tion will not be granted, but some me dium in the form of a representative con sultative body which can convey the wishes of the people direct to the Sov ereign now seems the probable outcome. An entirely new law for the liberaliza tion of the press also is apparently cer tain. The plan for a consultative body, first proposed by tho lafcf Prince Vasilchol kon. 20 years ago, in connection with the demand for a land parliament, forms the basis of the scheme at present under consideration. Prince Vasilcholkoff con tended that nine-tenths of the population of Russia was totally unprepared to ex ercise political rights, thus precluding the possibility of general franchise. He pro posed a Zemskaya Douma, or Land Council, composed of Zemstvo representa tives endowed with a consultative voice In the government. While nothing has been absolutely decided. Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk-MIrsky is said to fa vor this plan. In fact, it Is his desire that Prince Vasllchoikoff's son shall suc ceed him in tho event that complete fail ure of his health compels him to retire. SOLONS DO NO MORE RIOTING Lower House of Hungarian Parlia ment Opens in Perfect Calm. BUDAPEST, Hungary. Dec 14. The Lower House of the Hungarian Parlia-. xnent opened today In perfect calm. The royal rescript convoking the Diet was listened to attentively, and the House thereafter adjourned without the least attempt on the part of the opposition to renew the rioting of yesterday. The or derliness of the proceedings was attrib uted to the absence of President Perczel and his parliamentary bodyguard, who yesterday were driven from the House. The opposition, under the leadership of Count Apponyf and Francis Kossuth, took possession of the House as early as 6:30, in consequence of the rumor that the government proposed a sitting at 7 A. M. The Deputies took up a strong position on the President's platform, prepared to repel any attempt of the guards to dis possess them. The latter, however, made no effort to enter the House, and on the assurances of Count Andrassy that Pres ident Parczel would not preside, and that the guards would not enter the house, the platform was cleared. Premier Tlsza and the members of his Cabinet entered about 10 o'clock and oc cupied the front bench, as all the minis terial armchairs had been destroyed. There was no demonstration. The House listened to the rescript in profound si lence, and voted to refer it to tho Upper House. The sitting lasted only a few minutes. Outside a cordon of foot and mounted police had taken up positions in Parlia ment Square, where small groups of curi ous pooplo collected, but there were no disturbances. The members of the opposition parties have published a manifesto to the nation in justification of their action in remov inc the rendarmes from the chamber and destroying the president's chair, from which the crime of November 18 against the constitution was committed, and de claring they will do their duty in the same way again to save the country and the constitution. It is evident, however, that the opposi tion parties feol the weakness, of their cause, and their failure to enlist any ureat public support. The scene in" the chamber on Tuesday is being almost uni versally condemned. It is stated that Count Andrassy acted as mediator with Premier Tlsza and se cured the compromise that enabled to day's sitting of the chamber to be held. namely, that President Perczel should ab sent himself from the House on a plea of Illness, and that gendarmes should not be admitted. Another influence that in duced the truce is the knowledge that the criminal law provides a long sentence at hard labor to any one preventing by lorce the sitting of Parliament, and that PLEASING TO GENTLEMEN Practical and useful articles are proper. Appended is a list for every day use. All are up-to-the-minute styles, rightly made and models of quality.

Czar's Manifesto Will Reduce Sen tences of Von Plehve's Slayers. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 14. It turns out that at the trial yesterday of Sa soneff, the assassin of Interior Minister von Plehve, and Slkorifsky, his accom place, while Sasoneff did not present tho apologia he had written In the hospital, ho delivered a speech In his justification.

He also was very deaf, one of his ear drums hav ing been smashed. Sasoneff. being still an Invalid, was taken back to Vlborg Prison after the trial.

FIRE I0SS NOT SO GREAT. Minneapolis' Damage Now Placed at $820,000. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Dec 14. Re vised estimates of the losses occasioned by the fire early this morning show the total to be only about $820,000. The losses Include the following: O. H. Peck & Company, photographic supplies, building and stoct, IS0.000. Boutell Bros., furniture, building and stock. $375,000. BIntllff Manufacturing Company, pic ture frames and art goods, building and stock, 5120.000. Powers Mercantile Company, building and stock, $60,000. Other miscellaneous losses will bring the total loss up to $70,000. Total Insur ance. $603,000. The report that H. J. Buckley was killed proves erroneous. He was badly injured. Jacob Miller, a member of tho insur ance patrol, staggering under a heavy load of tarpaulins on the fifth floor of the Peck Photograph Supply Company, stumbled Into the elevator shaft and fell to the basement. Every effort was made to rescue him. but in the rising flood of water and the roaring furnace of flames his body could not be located. John Fellows, a plpcman, was caught on the fifth floor of the Boutell building with three of his comrades. It was a critical moment, for all at once the wires that controlled the automatic sprinkler system turned a dull red, and in an other Instant the whole building, irom top to bottom, burst into flames. The sprinkler wires had, in some way, touched a heavily charged electric wire The three men who were with Fellows sue ceeded In making miraculous exits down the fire escapes, but Fellows made tho fatal error of running to the elevator shaft and sliding down the cable in the belief that the lower part of the building had not yet begun to burn. He slid onto a caldron of flame and was seen no more THREE TRIALS ARE SET. Those Not Called Today by Judge Bellinger Must Go Over.

MUST FACE FOUR CHARGES Oberlin Men Alleged to Have Misap plied Funds of Banks, and Certi fied Checks When No Funds Were on Hand, CLEVELAND, Dec 14. The Federal In dictments against Mrs. Chadwlck today are five In number. Three of them charge her with aiding and abetting officers of a National bank to defraud the institu tion, and two charge her with conspiring against the United States. The grand jury" also returned four indictments against President Beckwlth of the Oberlin bank. Two charge him with misapplication of funds of a National bank; one with con spiracy to commit an offense against the United States, and one with certifying checks when no funds were on hand. Like indictments were returned against Cash ier Spear. The first witness before the grand jury was United States Marshal Chandler, who presented to the grand Jury the sworn statement of President Beckwlth. This is the document which has been called the "confession" of Beckwlth. It set forth. In effect, that there were two notes of $500,000 each, both Bigned In the name of Andrew Carnegie, and that Mrs. Chadwlck declared positively, both to him and Cashier Spear, that she positive ly saw Mr. Carnegie eign his name to both notes. It was also set forth In the state ment that a New York attorney who pro fessed to be a representative of Andrew Carnegie had declared to Beckwlth In Oberlin that the notes were genuine. The indorsement of the notes by Beckwlth and Spear was admitted, but the state ment declared neither of them had any idea they were to be used In the manner in which Mrs. Chadwlck handled them. HISSES PROM ALL. (Continued from First Page.) they were followed by some of the crowd The shouts and cries were taken up and passed along all the way to the Federal building, through the busiest part of the city. Business men on the wayhome, shop pers and laborers seemed to have been notified of the woman's arrival and crowded to vthe curb. The jeers and hoots were taken up along the entire line, and as each square that brought the party nearer the business center was passed the crowd continued to Inorcase, and to avoid the Increasing excitement the officiate arranged to approach the Federal building from the rear. As the carriages n eared the building. the crowds on the sidewalks broke Into the streets and many began to run along side the carriages, expecting to see Mrs Chadwlck as she entered the building by the main entrance. In this the crowd was disappointed, for the carriage with the prisoner was driven Into an alley In the rear of the building. There was much delay here because of the narrow pas sageway being blocked with wagons. The crowd already there was augmented by that which had assembled before the front of the building and there was veritable blockade. The police were forced to drive the crowd away with clubs, while they extri cated the carriages from the tangle with the wagons. All this added to the ex citement and eager faces were thrust in the carriage and vulgar expressions hurled at the occupants. After consuming 20 minutes In going a distance of about twice as many feet the prisoner's carriage was drawn up at the rear of the Federal building, and with the officers, she was taken to the Marshal's office on the fifth floor on tho freight elevator. The police continued to beat back the crowd, and out of the next car riage the nurse Freda was assisted and taken up to join her mistress. While Mrs. Chadwlck, with her nurse, was in the Federal building. Emit, in tho carriage outside, was subjected to the scrutiny of the mob and was forced to listen to anathemas and maledictions as well as sarcastic and bitter references to "notes "diamonds." "securities" and the like. The Insults and jeers were not confined to one class. They seemed tp be heartily taken up by everyone on the streets m the neighborhood. Even the clerks in the Postoffice, working on the ground floor of tho building, flocked to a rear door. cated next to the one entered by Mrs. Chadwlck, and laughingly shouted: "Let': see the securities." referring to the bag gage of Mrs. Chadwlck and Freda, which they saw through carriage doors. Repeated attempts on the part of the police to stop the outbursts of the mob were futile. It was apparent that the degree of excitement consequent upon the arrival of Mrs. Chadwlck had been underestimated, and that the police ar- In Leather j Card Cases Coin Purses Writing Pads Wallets ' Satchels Umbrellas You'll be able to select a nobby one from'the beautiful variety at hand.

Mrs. Chad wlck was at once taken to the office of Clerk Carjeton. of the United States Court, and there attended by Freda Swanstrora. who came In after her. awaited the arrival of her attorney. Mr. Kerrulsh. The door was guarded by United States Marshals and two members of the local police force, while Mrs. Chad wlck and her attorney held an extended conference. District Attorney Sullivan entered the room at the commencement of the conference, and was introduced to Mrs. Chadwlck. Nothing was said by Mr. Kerrulsh or Mrs. Chadwlck concerning bail, and it was thought by District At torney Sullivan that she would plead to the Indictments that had just been found against her. He went to the courtroom of Judge Wing, on the sixth floor to ar range the matter, but she announced she did not care to plead at that time, and preparations were at once made to take her to jail. Mrs. Chadwlck was taken1 directly to the jail. When she was about to leave the Federal building the excitement was greater. If possible, than before. The car riage, after a few delays, forced a pass age, and once out of the alley. Mrs. Chad wlck was hurried away to the Jail. She passed through streets with thronged curbs, only to run the gantlet of another mob that had been gathering for hours. Into the Jail the prisoner was hurried to the accompaniment of more shouts and Jeers, and the clicking of photographers' cameras. Sheriff Barry asked Mrs. Chadwlck the usual question. She stated her age to be 3S years, her residence as Cleveland, and the United States as the country of her birth. Mrs. Chadwlck was then taken to her cell. NO HOPE OF GIVING BAIL. Should She Be Released Woman Vould Be Immediately Rearrested. CLEVELAND, O.. Dec 14. There Is no probability of Mrs. Chadwlck being re leased on ball. She would be called upon to furnishe the Government bonds of $15,000 on each Indictment, or a total of 75,000. Should she give this, she would be rearrested on the two county indictments and asked for an additional bond of $25,- 000. There Is, moreover, a possibility that she may be indicted a third time by the county, and if this should happen, she would be asked for additional surety amounting to $12,500. To Insure her free dom pending trial, she must, therefore, be prepared to furnish bonds amounting to $112,500. She will not attempt this, but will remain In Jail until her case is reached on the docket. CARNEGIE WILLING TO APPEAR After He Returns From Florida, He Will Testify at Cleveland. NEW YORK. Dec 14. That Andrew Carnegie Is -willing to appear against Mrs Chadwlck. when his health has sufficient ly Improved, was mado clear In a state ment given out today at Mr. Carnegie's residence by his secretary. "Mr. Carnegie's only reason for not go ing to Cleveland at this time has already been given," said tho secretary. "His health will not permit of his taking the trip save at considerable risk, as his phy slcian has already said he is suffering from lumbago. 'He has been willing to make a depo sition at his home, and later, on his re turn from Florida, he will lend his as sistance and be present to testify to any subsequent proceedings. His one and only reason for not going to Cleveland now Is that he Is unable to stand the Journey in this weather." OREGON LANDS WITHDRAWN Silver Lake Irrigation Project quires It Be Set Aside.
